Honestly, I should have realized that his trip to Sin City with Ye Shanshan was just for my benefit, and I was still foolish enough to walk right into the trap... That scoundrel is probably laughing at me now.
Thinking this, Xie Qingyan cursed Xu Shi inwardly.
You're such a big idiot!
But then again, she wasn't entirely upset about what happened.
Overall, she found her feelings for Xu Shi to be somewhat complicated.
Being manipulated by Xu Shi is certainly not a good thing, but the skill he has recently displayed has made her admire him more and more.
I feel like the feelings I had when I was young have been rekindled a little.
Even Xu Shi's ruthless attitude towards the "Forgotten Ones" just now actually made her feel a little happy. It was much more comfortable than him actually bringing a little devil to her and making a scene.
In fact, if she had to choose between the past and the present, she would rather choose the present.
He's still her fiancé, after all. If he acts like he used to be so irresponsible, she won't look good.
Of course, while she was tempted, her competitive spirit didn't diminish.
No matter what, she had been tricked by him again, and it wasn't her style to always suffer injustice without fighting back.
No matter what... I have to ride it at least once!
Just wait, your time to meow will come sooner or later!
Xie Qingyan was lost in thought, her mind in turmoil.
...
There are two sides to the story.
Shen Qin, upon returning to her post, was plagued by a headache.
The demands made by the City of Nightsin far exceeded her expectations, which was definitely not good for the Forsaken.
The problem is that, apart from agreeing to those extremely unequal demands, she really can't think of any other way.
Even now, when she recalls the scene of her confrontation with Xu Shi at the previous meeting, Shen Qin still feels a sense of oppression.
He was much more difficult to deal with than I had imagined.
"Xiaoqin, you're back?"
Just then, Shen He came over and walked to her side, asking with concern, "How did your negotiations go?"
After resting at his sister's place for a while, he regained some of his energy and spirit, and was much better than before when he was in a state of dejection.
However, he couldn't go to the meeting with Shen Qin, but he still cared about what was happening outside.
"elder brother."
Shen Qin forced a smile. "It's alright. The situation isn't as optimistic as I thought, but it's not too bad either."
In front of her brother, she naturally did not want to mention the time when she was severely humiliated by Xu Shi.
"That's good."
Shen He breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "But we still need to be more careful, especially with Xu Shi. He's too cunning. I was too careless with him before, which is why I suffered several losses in a row."
"Yes, I understand."
Shen Qin nodded, but she also felt a little emotional.
She was still stronger than her brother's "Spark," but even so, she was still overwhelmed by Xu Shi.
Thinking about it this way, Shenhe's decision to provoke Xu Shi, especially repeatedly, was really too impulsive.
It's a stroke of luck that he's still alive.
Seeing his sister's expression, Shen He could roughly guess what she was thinking, and he felt a little embarrassed.
He admitted that he had been a bit impulsive before, otherwise the situation would have been much better.
Assuming he still possesses "Disgae" or even "Spark," if they cooperate from the inside and outside, at least he and his sister can look out for each other.
But right now, the help he can offer is very limited.
"In short, let's first establish a connection between the Forsaken and the City of Nightsin."
After thinking for a moment, he suggested, "We can take things slowly. The six major conglomerates are not a monolithic entity, so we still have a chance."
"I will do everything I can to help you then, Xiao Qin."
"good."
Shen Qin returned the smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Tang, who was standing to the side, was somewhat disdainful.
His opinion of Shen He has never changed; he is just a loser who was defeated by Xu Shi.
Especially after personally experiencing Xu Shi's aura, he felt even more that the guy's behavior was incredibly foolish.
He was even indignant at the bottom of his heart against Shen Qin taking in Shen He, believing that keeping him around was definitely not a good thing.
For example, in the previous meeting, if it weren't for his influence, the leader probably wouldn't have done something like directly confronting Xu Shi.
He even wondered if handing over the sinking river to Xu Shi might actually bring them some hope.
But that's just wishful thinking. He's seen how the leader treats his older brother, and he won't make the same mistake twice.
And to be honest, the gap between the two is not small, and Xu Shi may not really value Shen He that much.
I'm afraid that even if we did that, it would be a drop in the ocean and wouldn't solve the problem.
So he didn't say much, only his face still held a hint of contempt.
All of this did not escape Shenhe's notice.
He glanced at Li Tang a few times, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and his expression became more serious.
...
One day later.
The Forsaken ultimately accepted the Night City's conditions and began a second round of negotiations.
Just as Xu Shi thought, this kind of thing cannot be solved by dragging it out. On the contrary, the longer it is dragged out, the more passive the "forgotten ones" will become. It is better to agree sooner and get it over with sooner.
The six major conglomerates and the city hall also presented their agreed-upon demands.
Accepting the "forgotten" is not a problem, but with hundreds of thousands of people, it's impossible to accept them all at once.
