Chapter 189: A plan within a plan

If Jiang Ran had an accident, the Shen family would probably face a disaster even more terrible than what the Yu family had experienced.

Since the ultimate goal is to deal with Si Xu, it would be the most unwise decision to involve Jiang Ran before being sure of dealing with Si Xu.

As a result, his grandfather not only did it, but also stood in front of Si Xu with a smug look on his face, almost shouting out, "I'm provoking you! Come and hit me!"

madness.

Not receiving Xie Chengzhi's signal, Shen Lang lost his confidence and no longer took it for granted as he did at the beginning.

Hearing the junior's harsh words, he just kept a cold face and said mockingly: "So, you have come up with a solution?"

"No." Shen Yang said calmly, "Now we can only pray that the distinguished guest that Grandpa placed in our house won't be found by Si Xu."

Speaking of that person, Shen Lang's eyes lit up: "If Si Xu can really find him, it would be a good thing."

Shen Yang looked straight at his grandfather, with a half-smile in his eyes: "It seems that Grandpa, you still have a backup plan?"

Chen Lang sneered: "When you reach my age, you will naturally think carefully before doing anything. Do you think I am just like you, a young and reckless person?"

Without asking what tricks the old man had in store, Shen Yang smiled lazily again: "Then I wish Grandpa a successful start."

As he was speaking, the group of people crowded at the door of the conference room dispersed and returned to their own little corners.

Like - they never yelled at the door.

The footsteps came from far away.

Shen Yang thought thoughtfully: "Here it comes."

I don’t know what kind of evidence Si Xu found to clear Jiang Ran of suspicion.

The young man pushed the door open and walked in. The middle-aged man who was hiding behind him huddled up and looked around the room.

Seeing Shen Lang, before Si Xu could say anything, he rushed out from behind Si Xu, rolling directly to Shen Lang's feet, hugged Shen Lang's legs, and cried loudly: "Shen Shuai! Save me! You must save me!"

This person's appearance means that his plan is proceeding in an orderly manner.

A determined smile appeared in Shen Lang's eyes. He looked at Si Xu, whose expression changed slightly, and said coldly: "Professor Si, what do you mean by this?"

"He wants to kill me!" The man took the initiative and pointed at Si Xu, "It's him! He sent people to kidnap me, threatened me, made me testify for Miss Jiang, and even made me frame you! Chen Shuai! You must save me!"

The man was still howling like a ghost, and all the expressions on Si Xu's face disappeared, returning to his previous indifference.

Chen Lang cooperated with the man: "Framed me?"

"Yes!" The man was still howling at the top of his lungs. "He said Jiang Ranran opened the north gate because she was hypnotized. He also said that you asked me to hypnotize Jiang Ranran and used it to frame her! Master Chen! Heaven and earth are witnesses! I haven't even met Miss Jiang, how could I hypnotize her?"

He hugged Shen Lang's legs tightly and choked with sobs: "Shen Shuai! Please save me. If you don't save me, Professor Si will kill me!"

"I understand." Patting the man's shoulder soothingly, Shen Lang looked at Si Xu, "Professor Si, this is my friend. He's not good at hypnosis, let alone hypnotizing Ranran. Please don't implicate innocent people."

He spoke restrainedly, and the group of people whose eardrums were aching from the man's howling finally came to their senses.

In order to clear Jiang Ran's name, Professor Si went to Shen Shuai's villa and captured Shen Shuai's guest, threatening him to come forward and testify against Shen Shuai, otherwise he would kill him... Well, this is indeed something Professor Si would do.

Everyone looked at Si Xu cautiously, wondering how the man would respond.

"How boring." Si Xu only gave a four-word evaluation to the tearful accusation in front of him.

After thinking for a moment, he added: "The acting is too poor."

The bland comment made the howling man choke, and he almost choked to death on the air: "Cough cough cough cough!"

Everyone: "..."

"This..." Too lazy to say more, Si Xu took out a USB flash drive from his coat pocket and threw it to Gu Yunqing who was watching the show, "Show it to them."

"This is..." someone wondered.

"It's a good thing that hides many secrets." Si Xu smiled slightly and was not in a hurry to defend himself from the accusations that the man had put on him.

Gu Yunqing quickly found the computer, connected it to the projector, and asked Si Xu considerately, "Seventh Brother, do you want to turn off the lights?"

Only by turning off the lights can you see some people's disgusting faces more clearly.

Si Xu remained noncommittal: "Whatever."

Gu Yunqing turned off the lights on his own initiative.

There was a video on the screen, and judging by the setting, it should be in a private residence.

A voice sounded faintly from outside the camera: "Get some water and wake him up."

After that, the camera turned to the unconscious man on the ground.

"This..." Seeing that familiar face, the man jumped up from the ground, looking panicked, "When did you..."

He was halfway through his words when Shen Yang glared at him fiercely, scaring him so much that he swallowed the rest of his words.

"Who is it?! I'm dying!"

"Professor Sisisisisi?!"

"It was not my intention to frame Miss Jiang! It was that old bastard Shen Lang who forced me to do it!..."

"It's... it's for the virus-related information left by Professor Jiang..."

"...When I entered, she...hit her head against the wall of the room and died."

"Professor Si, I was really controlled by someone, I didn't mean to frame Miss Jiang!..."

As the video reached the end, the man was trembling all over and his face was pale.

Si Xu sat on a chair, crossing his legs leisurely. "Do you think I brought you here to clear Jiang Ran of suspicion?"

He curled his lips into a smile, and although his face was obviously extremely graceful, it frightened the man so much that he took several steps back.

"I brought you here just to ask Shen Lang for clarification." Si Xu touched the button on the cuff of his windbreaker, glanced at Shen Lang, and said thoughtfully, "Where did you hide the information Jiang Yize left behind?"

I didn't expect this idiot to spill the beans about things that happened over the past decade. Shen Lang was so angry that his teeth itched: "I don't know what Professor Si is talking about."

“You’ve seen the video too—fourteen years ago, for the sake of information, you could force Shen Muxin to death and hypnotize Jiang Ranran… But don’t tell me that after paying such a huge price, your Shen family didn’t find the information—Shen Lang, don’t let me look down on you.”

"This guy is talking nonsense. Do you believe what he says?"

"I can believe what he says about me, but I can't believe what he says about you?"

“…”

Without waiting for Shen Lang to respond, Si Xu continued, "Shuai Chen, you don't mean to say that those old stories from more than ten years ago were also fabricated by me threatening him to frame you, right?" Si Xu smiled slightly, "You shouldn't be such a fool."

Shen Lang: “…”

"Chen Lang, let me ask you one last time, where is that information?"

His patience was exhausted, and his words became more aggressive.

Everyone present tensed up as they recalled the massacre that the Yu family had suffered at the beginning of the apocalypse.

It was not until this moment that those who wanted to replace Si Xu suddenly realized that perhaps they should not have forgotten his original appearance because of his Buddhist nature in recent days.

Also frightened and taking a step back, Shen Lang managed to calm himself and said through gritted teeth: "Si Xu, I don't understand what the information you mentioned is."

Damn it.

I had hoped to use the hypnotist to give it a final push, but who knew this idiot would just let the cat out of the bag.

Once the virus-related information is involved, everything else becomes insignificant.

If Si Xu holds on to the information tightly and refuses to give it up, the attention of others will naturally be diverted to the information - if this continues, he and the entire Shen family will soon become the target of public criticism.

By then, who would care about Jiang Ranran opening the north gate?
