Lu Chi didn't expect that this person would dare to use him as a shield. Seeing Shen Zejing looking at him for confirmation, he had no choice but to nod.
"It is true that we have not reached the most critical step, but..."
But before Lu Chi could speak, the director interrupted him anxiously.
"Look, Boss Lu testified that we didn't even do anything excessive. It's better to make a big deal out of it. If it gets out, people won't care about the facts. If so, won't it be unfair to your Shen family's reputation?"
It turns out that we should not underestimate anyone's instinct to survive.
This time the director seemed to have accurately grasped Shen Zejing's lifeblood.
Shen Zejing went from being furious to being led by him, and finally had to think about how much of a blow it would be to Shen Zeshuo's reputation if he insisted on pursuing the matter.
Of course, Shen Zejing couldn't be fooled by just a few words.
In order to verify, he had to lift Shen Zeshuo's quilt again to check his condition.
Seeing that Shen Zejing seemed to be persuaded by him, the director immediately began to take remedial measures.
He rushed directly to one of the filming devices and took it down, then took advantage of the time when Shen Zejing was confirming to cut out the clip that could prove what he had just said was true and handed it to Shen Zejing.
Shen Zejing frowned as he watched all the scenes. Although it was extremely disgusting, it was indeed as he said, and it did not go to the last step.
The director saw Shen Zejing frowning and knew that he had believed his words, so he immediately took this opportunity to analyze the situation for Shen Zejing.
Some of them deliberately exaggerated the matter to expose the harm done to Shen Zeshuo.
In the end, he compromised by pretending that he was at a disadvantage.
"I'm right, right? Anyway, he wasn't hurt that badly, so why don't we both take a step back? As long as you don't mind what happened today, we will definitely not shirk the resources that we promised to give to Shen Zeshuo."
However, Shen Zejing's hesitation was not due to the director's suggestion of concession. From the beginning to the end, he was only concerned about whether Shen Zeshuo could withstand such pressure once the matter was exposed.
He knew his brother too well, and such a thing was absolutely a devastating blow to him.
Especially after the exposure, the pressure of public opinion will inevitably cause him to suffer secondary damage.
But he would be unwilling to just let the matter go like this.
Furthermore, if these old foxes knew what I was thinking, they would definitely go even further and threaten me not to pursue the matter by exposing the facts.
Judging from what Shen Zejing has observed so far, those people are not docile sheep, but foxes pretending to be weak, cunning and unpredictable. Once they find a chance to fight back, things will become more troublesome.
By then, let alone whether we can completely suppress the ambitions of these people waiting for an opportunity, if any step is not done well and our weaknesses are exposed and discovered by them, that would be the most terrifying thing.
It may even cause you to lose the initiative and fall into a passive position.
The more important point is that he does not have any leverage to absolutely control these people, and he is even less sure that he can eliminate all potential hidden dangers by relying solely on the power of the Shen family.
Moreover, Shen Zejing would never fight an unprepared battle, so without the certainty of being able to kill this group of people with one strike, rash action would only alert the enemy and affect the final outcome.
Perhaps it was because she saw Shen Zejing's hesitation, or perhaps it was because she heard that shameless man's actions to cover up his crimes were too much, Shen Mingzhu, who had been in a trance, finally reached her limit of patience.
She angrily rushed to the front and kicked the director in a vital part without any hesitation.
The director was so immersed in persuading Shen Zejing that he didn't notice Shen Mingzhu's actions.
He was caught off guard and fell to the ground, curled up in a ball because of the severe pain.
Shen Mingzhu still felt that it was not enough, and just as she was about to continue kicking him, she was pulled back by a strong force.
When Shen Mingzhu looked back and saw that it was Shen Zejing, she shook him off with all her strength and slapped Shen Zejing in the face with her arm.
He even uttered a burst of curses with disdain.
"You still dare to stop me? Bah!"
"Why don't you tell me what you were hesitating about just now? You wouldn't really be led astray by those rubbish comments, would you?"
"Then I'll make you sober up!"
Shen Mingzhu pointed at the unconscious Shen Zeshuo on the bed, "Open your eyes and see clearly, the person who is being tortured and humiliated like this is your own brother!"
"If you say that I have no blood relationship with you, I can tolerate you weighing the pros and cons before protecting me, but what about him? There must be no doubt that he is connected to you by blood, right?"
"Just because he was stabbed dozens of times but none of his vital parts were injured, his injuries can't be ignored, right?"
“Does it matter if there’s a final step?”
"Have you ever thought about how desperate he was at that time? You actually hesitated when dealing with these people. I don't think Shen Zeshuo needs a coward brother like you."
"I don't care what you're thinking. I just know that he's been wronged, and I want to return all the hurt he's suffered!"
"Also, if you don't dare to do anything, just stand aside and don't stop me. I won't leave until I destroy this bunch of trash today!"
Impulse is the devil, and reason is no longer important.
At least at this moment, the rush of adrenaline and anger dominated all her actions and thoughts.
"I want to atone for not being able to save him in time!"
Shen Zejing was so shocked by the last sentence that he froze in his place.
The red eyes and the sudden surge of strength made Shen Mingzhu look like a majestic lion.
Under the horrified gazes of the group of people, Shen Mingzhu kicked the curled-up man several meters away.
