Chu Yaoyao considered that rather than threatening Li Fei, it would be better to use Sun Mingyuan as leverage. Her own brother had told her that even a mighty dragon should not bully a local snake. Knowing this, Chu Yaoyao naturally tended to complicate a simple matter, and she did so because she was unable to muster significant forces in this place.
Chu Yaoyao didn't think much of Chen Song, which was one reason for her strategy. If Chen Song had been the slightest bit useful or capable of rallying local forces, she wouldn't need to go out of her way to involve Sun Mingyuan.
During this process, Chu Yaoyao even felt she was demeaning herself. Otherwise, with her status as the young mistress of the Chu Family, why should she bother discussing trifles with this businessman? It was like not understanding at first why her brother wanted to use such complex forces for a small piece of land.
