Chapter 190: Pressing forward
Many people in the base are afraid of Si Xu because of his methods of torturing people and his powerful abilities.
Because of the power of his supernatural powers, those people naturally ignored the power he himself possessed.
Professor Si, who controls the laboratory, is more than just a weakling who relies on brute force to solve problems.
Unfortunately, many people did not see this clearly, and tried to be clever by plotting against him and provoking him, only to end up with a bloody nose.
As if he didn't notice Shen Lang's embarrassment, Shen Yang still maintained a leisurely posture and sat in the chair without moving.
There's nothing to worry about.
Even though Si Xu pressed on step by step, his goal was not to defeat the Shen family or the information he mentioned.
He just needed these people to divert their attention away from Jiang Ran.
That's all.
Originally, he had to find evidence to prove Jiang Ran's innocence in order to convince everyone here. Now, because Shen Lang thought his plan was perfect, he only needed to hold on to the Shen family.
Compared with the virus information, the calculations, conspiracies, and traps between Shen Lang and Jiang Ran became unimportant things like children playing house.
Didn’t that person say that Miss Jiang opened the North Gate because she was hypnotized by him? He also said that Shen Shuai had been searching for the information left by Jiang Yize and might have found it.
As for the former, no one has the time to delve into it, as long as there is a result.
But for the latter, there must be an answer, even if you have to chase and bite off a few pieces of meat.
Comparing the two, who would choose to pursue Jiang Ran?
Not only will they not pursue the matter, they will also naturally believe the words of the "witness" and may even sympathize with Jiang Ran for being schemed against by his closest relatives.
Just like that, Si Xu's goal was achieved.
It just so happened that he and Si Xu had the same goal, so he was happy to sit here and act like a fool.
"Chen Lang, I have very little patience. Most of the time, it depends on the person." Si Xu was still swearing, "Do you want to try?"
"I don't know any information. Even if you kill me here today, it will be useless." Shen Lang is not stupid. He admitted it at this moment. The Shen family became a thorn in the eyes and flesh of everyone.
He can die, but he must not push the Shen family into a dead end.
"If I kill you, won't I never get the information again?" Si Xu sneered, "Shen Lang, you are so unscrupulous, could it be that... your Shen family's laboratory has produced some results in virus research?"
After Si Xu finished speaking, those people looked at Shen Lang with sharper eyes.
Yes, that confidant of General Shen also mentioned the Shen family's laboratory - that is a force independent of the base laboratory and belongs only to the Shen family.
If Shen Shuai really wanted to get the virus information, he didn't need to hand it over to the base. What's more, he and Si Xu had a delicate relationship and there was no trust at all.
Everyone present was used to being in high positions, and what people in high positions loved to do most was to be suspicious of each other.
Seeing that the effect he wanted was achieved, Si Xu sighed, "However, these are not what I care about - the video is here, and I have said everything I need to say. These alone cannot clear Jiang Ran of suspicion, so I have decided to take Jiang Ran away from Xiling Base."
"What?!"
In the past, everyone hoped that Si Xu would disappear from Xiling Base, but now that he really said he was leaving, everyone panicked.
"Professor Si, there must be a misunderstanding here. We don't doubt Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang has absolutely no reason to do this." Someone stood up urgently to express his attitude.
"Yes, we naturally believe in Miss Jiang's innocence."
"That's right, Miss Jiang had no reason to do that. Besides, didn't that guy admit that he hypnotized Miss Jiang and forced her mother to death?"
Those people were talking at once, and almost knelt down to beg Si Xu to take back his words.
Xiling Base had just experienced a zombie tide. Everyone had witnessed the horror of the zombie tide and also understood that Si Xu played a key role in that battle.
With Si Xu's level of supernatural powers, he can still live a carefree life after leaving the base. Without him, the base may not be able to survive the next zombie wave.
Furthermore, they thought that compared with Si Xu, the Shen family was more reliable, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
With Si Xu gone, the Shen family will have no one to control them, and the base will one day develop into a dominant force.
This is not the result they want to see.
Finally, after those people tried their best to persuade him, Si Xu just said "Let's talk about it tomorrow" and went back.
Before leaving, he did not forget to instruct Gu Yunqing to "throw that fat man into the dungeon."
Who was the fat guy? Of course, it was the hypnotist who suddenly changed his mind and stood up to bite Si Xu.
It was not until he was dragged away by Gu Yunqing's men that he realized what a stupid thing he had done.
This time, the man really cried and begged Shen Lang for help: "Shen Shuai! Please save me! Please save me! Considering that I have been with you for so many years and have risked my life for you! Shen Shuai! Shen Shuai!"
Chen Lang didn't move or respond.
Someone tutted his tongue: "Stealing a chicken but losing the rice is what we call this kind of idiot."
Someone else echoed: "This tells us how important it is to follow the right master, haha."
The people in the conference room finally dispersed, leaving only three members of the Shen family.
"It's over?" Shen Yang stood up and tugged at his collar. "It's finally over. I'm tired after all this time. Let's go home and rest."
He turned and left.
Staring at the young man's back as he left, the old man swayed, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight back.
"Old man!"
Shen Yang paused.
…
The next day, the news that Shen Shuai was so angry that he vomited blood during a meeting spread throughout the base.
Jiang Ran sat in the office, sorting documents and listening to gossip.
“Tell me, what did Professor Si do to make Shen Shuai vomit blood?”
"Professor Si and Shen Shuai, you know, they dislike each other in every way. I wouldn't be surprised if they started fighting one day."
"If you're really curious, ask Ranran—she's sure to know."
Several pairs of eyes looked at her.
Jiang Ran picked up a thick document bag and covered half of her face, leaving only her eyes exposed. She replied in a muffled voice, "I don't know—I went home and fell asleep yesterday. When I woke up this morning, Si Xu was not home. I'm more curious than you are."
"Ranran, Chen Shuai is your grandpa after all. Do you want to go see him after get off work?"
Someone whispered a reminder to Jiang Ran.
Colleagues knew that she was not close to the Shen family.
Jiang Ran nodded: "Go - everyone said that Si Xu made the old man angry, so I have to go visit him."
Of course I have to go. How can I laugh at the joke if I don’t go?
"By the way, Ranran, I heard that Professor Si said he wanted to take you away from Xiling Base?"
Jiang Ran was confused: “?” She suddenly remembered the group of people who crowded at her doorstep early in the morning waiting for Si Xu, and followed him to work step by step - so that's how it was.
Jiang Ran: "Oh, he said so."
The colleague who asked the question hesitated, "Ranran, things are not peaceful outside the base right now. You should persuade Professor Si not to go out."
Jiang Ran smiled: "I thought he just mentioned it casually, he wouldn't really leave the base - Si Xu has a very good temper, unless someone really does something excessive, he will be so angry that he runs away from home."
Colleague: "..." Professor Si has a good temper? Are they the same Professor Si?
