So this is also a "God's Arrival" enthusiast. Some of her thoughts have been unknowingly influenced by Shen He. If Xu Shi hadn't intervened and thwarted the other party's plan, she probably would have gone out into the streets with the others to cause trouble yesterday.

However, it was from her that Xie Qingyan learned that Xu Shi actually had such a hidden trick up his sleeve—the truth is that he never told anyone outsiders about Xia Ke'an's prophecy, and to this day, no one knows who exactly saved them.

Ye Shanshan didn't realize it at first; she was so engrossed in the virtual world that she was completely lost in it while slacking off at work... She only realized it belatedly after she came to her senses.

As for how they found out, it was generally similar to Shen He's experience. They noticed the other party's signature sinister smile and realized who this guy was.

"Oh, so you play 'God's Descent' too."

Xu Shi waved his hand dismissively, "It was nothing, it's not like I'm only saving Secretary Ye."

"But I still want to thank you..."

Ye Shanshan lowered her head and looked at her fingers, her voice full of shyness, "In the past, I also had some prejudice against you, Chairman Xu, and I hope you won't mind..."

Because of the "victim mentality implanted," she actually couldn't really hate Xu Shi, but "not hating" and "being grateful" are two different concepts.

She was even a little afraid to look him in the eye before realizing that he was actually quite handsome, both handsome and wicked...

"Alright, alright, then... you're welcome?"

Xu Shi genuinely didn't care, but he was quite pleased with the little curly-haired boy's attitude. "Speaking of which, I do have things to thank you for, for example... Chief Song?"

"If it weren't for Chief Song's great understanding and sense of justice, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly, would they?"

That's true. Do you remember when Yu Xingchuan reported that some people in the riots outside the city had turned against him in advance?

Those men were Song Chen's old subordinates. Naturally, they wouldn't blindly follow Shen He's orders like the other two. Song Chen had already warned them that when the time was right, they would pull out their bayonets and stab their comrades in the back.

Although these may seem like insignificant details when viewed in the grand scheme of things, a perfect victory is made up of countless such details.

"Not at all, Mr. Xu, you flatter me too much."

Song Chen was also there, not only as Xie Qingyan's subordinate, but also as a representative of the Forgotten Ones. Upon hearing this, he quickly bowed and clasped his hands, responding with a very humble smile.

"How could this be a compliment? These are the truths."

Xu Shi shook his head, feeling that this guy was going a bit too far, but still exchanged a few more polite words, "If those two could be as pragmatic and sensible as Chief Song, there wouldn't have been such a bloody incident in Night Sin City, right?"

Yes, yes, yes.

Song Chen wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "They really have a problem with their thinking. As their former comrade, I also bear responsibility for not realizing it sooner. Thinking about it now, it's truly heartbreaking."

These words amused everyone, and the atmosphere instantly became cheerful.

When the group arrived at the conference room, the other parties had already arrived as well—Chairman Qi Kang of "Imaginary Number" was present in person, which was enough to demonstrate their importance to the matter.

The "quill pen" incident was a bit different; Mr. Wen did not attend, but instead sent Ning Wei to represent him.

This is not to say that "Feather Pen" does not value this matter, but Wen Shengkui was too exhausted from yesterday's events and was unable to attend in person due to illness.

Everyone understood this, and besides, Ning Wei's position was not low either—although nominally he was just a housekeeper and secretary, anyone who knew the inside story knew that, without considering Xu Shi, the future successor of "Feather Pen" was simply either Ning Wei or He Yuxia.

Given that He Yuxia has now been affected by "Shark Tooth," Ning Wei is fully qualified to do so.

How is Grandpa doing now?

Xu asked with concern.

"...It's alright, nothing serious. It's just that the old man is getting on in years, so using his abilities will inevitably have some impact."

Ning Wei said seriously, "We still need to observe for a while... so if there are any issues in the future, please consider them more carefully."

"I'll go see him tomorrow and let him scold me himself."

Xu Shi didn't respond to him. After all, it wasn't a matter of whether he was being cautious or not. If he could, he wouldn't want to trouble his grandfather. But the problem was that only he possessed the ability of an instant-level "ascendant." Otherwise, with just the Dragon Heaven Cauldron there, this battle probably wouldn't have ended by now.

What should we do then? (Feeling wronged)

And, Tang Shuang, the current director of the Inspection Bureau, and her adjutant, Yu Xingchuan.

No one was surprised by their appearance—even if they didn't know what arrangements Xu Shi had made before, it was no secret that Yue Chizheng had been detained by Tang Shuang.

Someone has to fill this hole, and now that Tang Shuang is here, her attitude is self-evident.

"Good morning, Director Tang."

Xu Shi, oblivious to everything, greeted her with a smile.

Unfortunately, all he got in return was a cold glare from Director Tang. You dare to greet him first? You brat, get lost!

Instead, Yu Xingchuan approached enthusiastically, "Chairman Xu..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Lin stopped her. Seeing this, she could only stick out her tongue and awkwardly retreat.

"Now that everyone's here, shall we get down to business?"

Qi Kang watched the younger generation's interaction with great interest for a while, and then took the initiative to start a conversation.

The theme of this meeting was actually very simple, summed up in five words: dividing up the spoils.

With the downfall of "Shark Tooth," both its businesses and the private assets of the Ho family amounted to a considerable fortune. Even the slush funds of people like Yue Chi-cheng and Lin Wen-hua added up to a substantial amount.
