In the past, he had been 99 percent certain that the mastermind behind the attempt to kill Doudou was a competitor of Xue Lixue.
Eliminating her daughter would throw her into disarray and provide an opportunity to strike at the Group, seizing a large sum of assets.
It could even have been done by Xue Chang!
