"Very simple, ambition."
"That's right, Miss Lan did promote me, without her, I, An Zairong would have found it difficult to reach my current position, but human desires are endless. Since she wanted to plunder wealth in Korea, she should have handed over all power to me. Yet she didn't, instead, she sent someone over to check on me at every turn. Mr. Jiang, if you were me, what would you choose?"
"Makes sense, but it's not sufficient."
Jiang Chen wasn't angry, his voice calm and measured, unruffled.
"Mr. An is a smart man, having worked for Miss Lan for so long, you must also be clear about her abilities. Haven't you considered the risks of betrayal?"
"What doesn't carry risk?"
An Zairong smiled and said, "I know there's an old saying in Shenzhou, it goes 'Fortune comes with risk', which I think is very apt. Miss Lan is indeed formidable, but she is human, not beyond calculation. And I nearly succeeded, didn't I?"
Jiang Chen nodded.
