"We're here to pick her up and take her back. There's something important we need her to do."
Xu Shi nodded, returning to the main topic, "Something's happened at the company, and the situation at 'Dragon City' might also change."
"Um?"
Wen Shengkui could ignore the former, saying he could handle it himself, but he couldn't afford to be indifferent to the latter. "What exactly happened?"
Xu Shi saw no need to hide anything from him and told him roughly what had happened.
"……I see."
After hearing his explanation, Wen Shengkui instantly understood the whole story. "So it seems that old man Long Tianding isn't on our side either. What are your thoughts?"
He wasn't surprised by this. Although Long Tianding had previously approached him to discuss the development of Sin City, the old man knew that what Long Tianding cared about was definitely not the common people of Sin City; it was merely a temporary measure to stabilize the relationship.
For example, if there were an opportunity now to gain more profit at the cost of slaughtering most of the residents of Sin City, Long Tianding might very well consider it.
This displeased Wen Shengkui, so when he asked Xu Shi for his opinion, there was an additional subtext—did he have any ideas about dealing with him now? In this matter, "Feather Pen" was still very willing to reach a further cooperation with "Snake Ring".
"My idea is not to rush."
Xu Shi shook his head. "There are restless people within the 'Snake Ring' just as well. Now we're just waiting for them to gather together. It's always better to catch them all in one fell swoop than to alert them."
That was his original plan. Otherwise, why would he limit Shen Qin and Lin Wenhua's escape route to only "Dragon City"? Not to mention Shenhe outside the city, which he had to consider. Rather than letting them act separately and deal with them one by one, it would be better to gather them together and make a sweeping deal.
As for testing Long Tianding... I'm sorry, but I don't think he passed. To be honest, Chairman Xu's requirements in this regard are not very high. If the other party could tie up Lin Wenhua and Shen Qin after meeting them and send them to me, then we can naturally continue to chat and laugh together in the future.
Or at least tell me? You don't think I can't see through your little tricks, do you? I'm the one who drew the lines for you, okay... But the fact is, even now, Long Tianding hasn't made any move. It's obvious they're going to bet on both sides.
Xu Shi could not accept this behavior, so there was another problem to solve. As for what the other party thought, that was not within his consideration.
"Too."
Wen Shengkui expressed his understanding, and his mood eased somewhat.
"...I support it."
Gu Yi paused for a moment, then weakly offered her opinion.
However, she wasn't targeting anyone else, but specifically Lin Wenhua—don't forget that this old guy had once sent someone to assassinate her. Although he failed, she had seen everything, and naturally wished that old man would die sooner.
Miss Black Rabbit is also very vengeful!
However, since she couldn't quite figure out the more profound things, she wisely refrained from offering her opinions and decided that it would be best for Xu the scoundrel to do it. If there was anything she could do, she would be happy to do her best.
"Don't worry, if anything happens in 'Dragon City,' I won't stand idly by."
Grandpa Wen immediately expressed his opinion. He also knew what Xu Shi meant. One reason was how much the "feather pen" could contribute to this matter. The other reason was that Long Tianding himself was a difficult "upgraded one". He had reached the level many years ago. No one knew whether he had made further breakthroughs. In short, he was difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, he was happy to help his eldest grandson solve this problem, so he readily agreed.
"Then thank you very much, Grandpa."
Xu Shi smiled; this promise was better than anything else.
"Heh, now's not the time for you to put on a sour face when you see me playing games with Xiao Gu Yi?"
Wen Shengkui snorted, "Let me tell you, if you dare to bully her when we get back, I won't let you off the hook."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yi instantly gained confidence, revealing a faint, enigmatic smile, and even pointed a finger at Xu Shi.
Play "God's Descent" for me.
"How could that be?"
Xu Shi chuckled. What's the big deal about this? But little black rabbit, don't get too arrogant. Just because my grandpa is backing you up, you think you can take advantage of me? You're underestimating your boss, Mr. Xu. I'll definitely teach him a lesson when we get back. I don't believe Gu Yi would dare to complain. Otherwise, he'll bully her even more.
Don't underestimate Chairman Xu's 80s, you bastard!
"By the way, haven't I seen Miss He Er?"
Before leaving, remembering that the studio he had just passed by was empty, Xu Shi casually asked about it.
“She hasn’t been coming much lately, and she doesn’t stay here much either.”
Wen Shengkui sighed, "That old bastard He Jiayuan came to talk to me personally. Now he knows that she is his daughter? He said he's afraid that someone with ulterior motives will make trouble for him again."
That's true. Who knew He Yuxia would cause such a huge mess? Luckily nothing bad happened, so everything is fine. Otherwise, it would indeed be a big problem.
Since that's the case, he naturally couldn't stop her. Anyway, He Yuxia wasn't confined to her home, which he thought was actually a good thing—he didn't expect the He family to change their minds and treat her any differently, but at least they were paying attention to her and treating her well, which wasn't bad at all.
"To be honest, both Yuxia and Xiao Guyi are good kids in my eyes."
Speaking of this, Grandpa Wen was also quite emotional, "The main thing is, young man, you know? They all actually look a bit like your mother."
