"He will thoroughly investigate this matter," Mayor Wang said, squinting his eyes. "Then he'll find out that you secretly gave those three cigarettes, and they didn't oppose it either. It'll become quite clear that those three are in cahoots with you."
"Exactly," Song Yun said with a confident look. "I kept them here today to confuse Xia Tian. Half of my conversation with Xia Tian just now was mocking him. When Xia Tian left, I specifically mentioned their names, putting them in an awkward position. If they left, they'd face my revenge; if they stayed, Xia Tian would suspect them. But due to the pressure of my reputation, they stayed."
"Once they stayed, the first step of the plan was complete. What follows is a gradual induction until they say how good the cigarettes are. I'll then casually say, 'If you like them, I can give you a box.' It seems like a casual remark, but in reality, it's the second trap."
