"No, no." Ye Shaoheng breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt somewhat guilty saying it.
"Don't underestimate a weak enemy, and don't be afraid of a strong one. Don't wait until you have power to start burning with courage, or you'll never get ahead of everyone else." Shi Yin turned around: "You can go back now, this matter is settled."
"Does this postpone the apocalypse to six months?" Ye Shaoheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't think it's that simple. The apocalypse isn't just about low-level things like zombies. Even what you've seen are just the lowest-level zombies." Shi Yin waved her hand, ignoring Ye Shaoheng, and turned to Guan Nianshan: "Now it's our turn to have a proper talk."
“What’s the point of talking to him!” Ye Shaoheng immediately rushed over: “Am I not enough?”
Shi Yin: "...Be good."
Ye Shaoheng: "Oh..."
Guan Nianshan: "?"
Are you two really underestimating me?
Guan Nianshan suspected that Shi Yin did it on purpose, otherwise how could Shi Yin always manage to calm him down precisely whenever he impulsively wanted to teach her a lesson?
When Shi Yin first brought Ye Shaoheng here, Guan Nianshan received a message from his underlings saying that a young girl who didn't know the rules seemed to be there to cause trouble, and she went straight to the second floor, bypassing the front desk. At that time, Guan Nianshan wanted to teach Shi Yin a lesson.
Fortunately, Guan Nianshan's underlings were not blind; they recognized the clothes Ye Shaoheng was wearing. They couldn't possibly not recognize the clothes he had just worn back from the conference, in case he offended some important figure.
Even though this place isn't like the capital where you can get a scholar every three steps and a general every five, it's not much different.
Guan Nianshan calmed down and decided to see Shi Yin in person. However, halfway there, he heard from his underlings that Shi Yin had led a group of people into the private room to cause trouble.
Guan Nianshan was furious.
He was indeed very annoyed that someone was delaying him while secretly selling drugs.
Guan Nianshan didn't lie to Ye Shaoheng. Even if Ye Shaoheng hadn't come, he would still have made major reforms. How could someone do such a thing right under his nose?
He's been in such a good mood lately that even his dog is being disobedient.
But no matter what, this is his own business, and it's not up to an outsider to interfere.
At that moment, Guan Nianshan had just pushed open the door to the private room when he saw Shi Yin killing someone with a long spear.
Although Guan Nianshan deduced from their conversation that it seemed to be some kind of fantastical word like "zombie," he still felt that Shi Yin's killing of that person wasn't just for Ye Shaoheng's benefit, but also for him.
She was training Ye Shaoheng while simultaneously warning him.
That immediately calmed Guan Nianshan down.
Then came this time.
Arrogance breeds anger, and anger can dilute the fear and unease in people's hearts. However, before Guan Nianshan could do anything, Shi Yin killed another person.
He didn't even see clearly how Shi Yin moved; he only felt a black shadow flash in front of him, and Shi Yin had already nailed the strange person, head and all, to the wall.
Throughout the entire process, Guan Nianshan only heard a faint "ding" sound, and then everything was settled.
Oh dear, it seems like someone I really can't mess with has come today...
Although Ye Shaoheng appears to be the eldest son and makes many decisions for the Ye family, those in the industry know that the real power in the Ye family still rests with the old master Ye, and what Ye Shaoheng says is what the old master Ye means.
Ye Shaoheng is brainless, but his grandfather is. Although he is impulsive, he is at least obedient.
Now, Ye Shaoheng listens to Shi Yin's words and even lets Shi Yin kill people. Although he seems very angry, he doesn't hold Shi Yin accountable at all.
Such a serious matter clearly indicates the intentions of Ye Yuansong and the Ye family, and perhaps even those from higher levels.
Guan Nianshan felt his palms were slightly sweaty. It would be better to have someone from above check several times; that would be easier to deal with.
"Let's go, let them handle the rest." Shi Yin walked ahead, casually pushing open an empty private room with practiced ease.
Guan Nianshan quickly followed. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, at least the process had to be discussed. At this point, Guan Nianshan calmed down.
Guan Nianshan: "Um, regarding what you said before..."
"Don't use honorifics, just communicate normally." Shi Yin interrupted Guan Nianshan's respectful words: "I didn't mean to cause you any trouble."
Is it true or false?
Isn't that troublesome enough?
"Ahem!" Guan Nianshan cleared his throat awkwardly. "I don't quite understand why you want me to become your direct confidant. I'm a citizen of the country too."
Although he and Ye Shaoheng didn't get along, Guan Nianshan knew very well that they just had different ideas. He always regarded Ye Shaoheng, the pampered young master, as a child.
After all, he had been involved in the family company's affairs for a long time. The Guan family ancestors had connections in both the legal and illegal worlds, and all the children were precocious. He, whose father died early, was even more sensible at a young age, which was fundamentally different from Ye Shaoheng, who was a spoiled fool.
"Are you sure?" Shi Yin tapped her finger lightly on the table twice casually. "If all your secrets were exposed, do you think they would side with reason or with their relatives?"
How is this different from a threat?
“I think you’ve misunderstood. I’ve always worked for the country, I just played a small part in certain areas.” Guan Nianshan smiled somewhat reluctantly: “Miss Shi Yin, I can tell you’re not some clueless little girl. You should know that if you want to integrate into the underworld, you can’t remain untainted, otherwise you’ll never reach the core.”
“There are some things I had no choice but to do. I’ve never broken up anyone’s family. The people I’ve found are all orphans or something, which is why my business has always been bad.” Guan Nianshan tried to persuade Shi Yin to lessen his guilt: “Besides, I basically took the lion’s share of the profits.”
"I think Miss Shiyin should know this. At most, what I sell is a stimulant, and it's all fake sugar. At most, it might give them diabetes. Even if I have to pay compensation, I only need to compensate for the insulin, right?"
"As for the black market and stuff... the government also requires me to share intelligence." Guan Nianshan shrugged: "I'm basically a big undercover agent."
“I’m only sharing this inside information with you because we’re close. I won’t tell anyone else.” Guan Nianshan winked at Shi Yin in a low voice: “I’ve worked so hard, and they still dragged me out. This puts me in a difficult position. It’s disheartening for a loyal subject.”
Shi Yin raised an eyebrow and quietly watched Guan Nianshan perform.
We're already familiar enough to share inside information. We became familiar quite quickly, and my professional habits started to kick in as we talked.
You were just thinking of chopping her up and throwing her into the sea to feed the fish, weren't you?
"Reporting 20% and keeping 80% for yourself, is that also a difficult situation for you?" Shi Yin nodded as if suddenly realizing something: "A task that can be completed in one day takes three days to report, which does make you seem very hardworking."
Guan Nianshan: "..."
ah?
"Lord Guan is indeed incredibly powerful. With a flick of his wrist, he can keep the country teetering on the brink of danger. How many times have you planned those near-death experiences and close calls?" Shi Yin continued to ask.
Guan Nianshan: "..."
Guan Nianshan was truly drenched in sweat.
This is just talk; there's no real evidence. As long as he stubbornly denies it, no one can do anything to him.
But Shi Yin's calm and insightful remarks clearly indicated that she knew something, and Guan Nianshan immediately lost his confidence.
“…Ahem, I think Miss Shiyin has misunderstood something. I just didn’t understand the current situation.” Guan Nianshan changed the subject and poured Shiyin a cup of tea: “That strange person just now, including what you called the apocalypse…I’ve never heard of it. I didn’t mean to refuse.”
"Come on, sister, don't strain your back, put a pillow under it."
"This is top-quality white tea, not too strong and refreshing. I usually can't bear to drink it. Why don't you try it this time? Okay, I'll take more next time."
"We just exchanged so many sweet words, it seems we really are in cahoots... ah, no, we're kindred spirits. I suppose we can become even more perfect partners in the future, so why don't we... have a good chat?"
Shi Yin glanced at Guan Nianshan without making a sound.
Sometimes, Shi Yin really felt that Guan Nianshan and Ye Shaoheng were indeed mortal enemies; people who could become mortal enemies were more or less similar.
When they really get into a sycophantic mood, these two people are practically identical.
