Chapter 103 I Really Like You So Much
Who is it that always says that Professor Si is brave but not wise and only relies on violence to solve problems?
Look, look—even the eloquent Shen Shuai was choked speechless by him. Is he brave but not wise? He just can't be bothered to argue with mortals like them!
While the gods were arguing, the other mortals in the conference room lowered their heads silently, trying to reduce their presence.
Shen Lang really wanted to throw the teacup in his hand at Si Xu's face, but he gritted his teeth and endured it. He glanced at Shen Yang and motioned him to say a few words.
Receiving his grandfather's pleading look, Shen Yang cleared his throat and said with a stiff upper lip: "According to Professor Si, to become the captain of the fourth team, Qin Huai must be dealt with first. From this point of view, I am afraid that there is no suitable candidate in the base for the time being..."
"Well, that's your business." Si Xu didn't care much. "I'm just stating my point of view. You can choose not to accept it."
Don't accept it? Do they dare? He has said this much. If they don't accept it, he might turn around and kill Xie Chengzhi and Luo Rui.
"Professor Si..."
"Min He died in battle, Qin Huai is at large, and your first thought isn't about how to solve that big problem outside, but how to push your own people to replace Min He." Si Xu said in a slightly cold voice, "Since your Shen family respects them so much..." Glancing at Xie Chengzhi and Luo Rui, Si Xu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Alright, let them deal with Qin Huai, and I'll have nothing to say."
Seeing that Si Xu was holding on to Qin Huai's matter and refused to let go, anger grew in Chen Lang's eyes: "Since Professor Si insists on making things difficult for Cheng Zhi, I..."
"Difficult?" Si Xu, having restrained his usual lazy and indifferent attitude, interrupted Shen Lang directly and sneered, "This is not a difficult situation - it was your Shen family who released the people, and it is your Shen family who should deal with it. General Shen, your people are working hard for your Shen family, how can you say it's a difficult situation?"
Shen Lang: “…”
"Didn't Commander Chen say that the two of them led the team all the way from Shenmu City to Xiling, and their abilities are extraordinary and should not be underestimated? How could someone who can survive countless hardships and crises be unable to deal with a mere Qin Huai?" Si Xu finished what he wanted to say, leaned back in his chair, and chuckled, "Commander Chen, stop joking."
Listen, listen to this guy's sarcastic tone! If he couldn't beat him, he would definitely jump up and smash his head!
Chen Lang's knuckles crackled as he gripped the cup handle, his face gloomy and he remained silent for a long time.
It was the first time that Shen Lang heard Si Xu talk so much, which made him so angry that he was fuming. Jiang Ran really wanted to applaud him.
However, after glancing at the expressions of the others present, Jiang Ran tactfully suppressed the urge to applaud.
The girl hooked her fingers around Si Xu and wrote on his palm: "Boss, you're awesome!"
His palms were itchy, and Si Xu couldn't tell what the girl wrote while rubbing them. He just held her hand tighter and used his other hand to push the teacup in front of him towards her hand.
Jiang Ran naturally picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked up at Chen Lang.
The old man had adjusted his mindset, and a smiling expression appeared on his face: "Professor Si has a point."
Chen Lang seemed to have compromised: "It seems that Chengzhi has not yet met the requirements to serve as the captain of the fourth team. Everyone, if you have any suitable candidates, please recommend them..."
Qin Huai was a weapon developed by the Shen family, and Shen Lang was well aware of its lethality. Xie Chengzhi and Luo Rui's current forces were indeed unable to deal with Qin Huai, but no one else in the base could deal with him.
If there is no one else to take over the fourth team, Xie Chengzhi is still the best candidate.
"The base doesn't necessarily need a fourth team." Si Xu interrupted Shen Lang again, puzzled, "Why are you so obsessed with this?"
"Huh?" Chen Lang couldn't hold it in anymore and glared at Si Xu coldly, "What do you mean, Professor Si?"
"Since the base was established, the Fourth Team's mission has been to guard the blockade. Now that the blockade is meaningless, what's the point of the Fourth Team?" Si Xu replied matter-of-factly. "Xiling Base was able to operate normally without the Fourth Team before, so why shouldn't it be able to operate in the future?"
“…”
"Or is it that your Shen family is planning to form a fourth team, similar to Min He's team, and send it out specifically to pursue Qin Huai?"
Shen Lang argued: "...Although the Fourth Team has not participated in the base's daily tasks before, but..."
"It's not just routine missions." Si Xu corrected him, "The Fourth Team was only carrying out your Shen family's missions and died fighting for your Shen family. If you really count it, the entire base lost a powerful team because of the trouble your Shen family created. If Commander Shen really needs the Fourth Team so much, why not use your power to form one yourself?"
Is he going to blame the death of the fourth team entirely on the Shen family? This guy is indeed a dog raised by Jiang Yize. His biting power is no less than Jiang Yize's.
With the new hatred and old resentment, Shen Lang could no longer bear it and slammed the table: "You!"
"Grandpa!" Intercepting the curse that almost came out of Shen Lang's mouth, Shen Yang sighed, gave the old man a comforting look, and smiled at Si Xu, "Professor Si is right. The fourth team is indeed not indispensable to the base."
"Yeah." Regardless of whether he truly agreed or was just being polite, Si Xu continued naturally, "So there's no need to rebuild—leaving a vacancy in the fourth team will at least remind everyone the significance of those people's existence."
Don't think that just because Min He and all the members of the fourth team died in battle, others can step on them to get to the top and erase their past contributions at will.
The always vacant Fourth Team will always remind everyone in the base of the former captain and members of the Fourth Team, to whom they dedicated their lives and what they defended with their blood.
Su Qin once said that Si Xu was a protective person, which was why he had a grudge with the Shen family because of Pei Wan'er's matter.
At that time, she thought this man was very stupid, without any scheming or cunning. He knew it was a trap, but he still jumped into it.
Now... looking at the blushing Shen Lang, the smiling Shen Yang, and the others who were silent, Jiang Ran suddenly felt ashamed of the thoughts he had once had.
Her Si Xu was very clever. He had silenced Shen Lang with just a few words. How could he be stupid? He was just...
Looking into the man's clear light brown eyes, Jiang Ran smiled gently.
He is just different from others. He puts his sincerity and frankness on the table without any disguise. There are so many villains, hypocrites and hypocrites in the world. People will gradually get used to it and think that this is how it should be between people.
But it shouldn't be like this.
Her Si Xu is not like this.
Just reach out for what you want—that's what he told her, and that's what he always did.
"Si Xu." She looked at him, her voice so low it was almost silent, "I really, really like you."
Seeing her lip shape, Si Xu narrowed his eyes and replied seriously, "Jiang Ran, I know."
The curve of Jiang Ran's eyes became more obvious, and she hooked her fingers around his and rubbed against him.
Noticing the two people's little movements, Luo Rui unconsciously clenched her fists, her eyes fixed on Jiang Ran, her eyes as sharp as knives.
