Seeing Lin Yue's quick agreement, Shen He was secretly pleased, but the unpleasant feeling in his heart had not completely subsided.
What pleased him was that, in his view, the fact that the other party agreed so easily meant that their past friendship had not been completely severed.
But this friendship can probably only go this far—not to mention Lin Yue, even he himself doesn't feel much like he did back in "Spark." Lei Song and Zhang Shinian are gone, and all that's left is him and Lin Yue. Shen He can't let go, and Lin Yue probably feels the same way.
So he didn't bring up anything else. He couldn't possibly rely on his former status as leader to ask her to hand over the Sixth District to him, could he? It was obviously unrealistic... Besides, he was already on a different track now, and the "Forsaken" were his new base.
"Shall we leave it at that for now?"
After briefly explaining the details of the plan to Lin Yue, he stood up to take his leave. "I'm very grateful that you're still standing with me. As for the rest... we can talk about it later when things are over?"
"……OK."
Lin Yue forced a smile, sent someone to see him off, and then sat in the same seat that Xu Shi had sat in that day, lost in thought.
When she came to her senses, she realized that there were many things she hadn't asked Chen He—what had he been through these past few days? How did he return after leaving? Including some details about his relationship with the "Forgotten Ones"...
Was it overlooked? Or...?
Upon reflection, she realized that, at some point, the matter of being sunk in the river seemed to have become insignificant in her heart.
On the contrary, it was her younger sister, along with that devil Xu Shi... Perhaps that's why she was able to make such a choice so easily? Thinking about it carefully, she even felt that using the sinking river as an exchange to ensure Lin Xing's safety was quite a bargain.
He abandoned himself first, didn't he?
well……
Thinking this way, Lin Yue felt much less guilty.
However, to be fair, there are actually quite a few details surrounding Shen He's return to the City of Night Sin.
After leaving District Six, he led his men back to District Five.
There were quite a few people waiting here—Shen Qin, Lin Wenhua, and Long Tianding's subordinates also sent several envoys, as well as capable henchmen like Li Tang from Shen Qin's faction, who also mingled in with him.
"Has an agreement been reached?"
Upon seeing him return, Lin Wenhua cleared his throat and asked.
"Yes, Lin Yue is willing to support our actions."
Shen He nodded, not particularly fond of the old man either.
The main reason is that he feels nauseous just hearing the word "snake ring," and even though Lin Wenhua is a traitor who stands on their side, his opinion of him isn't much better.
"My brother used to have quite a lot of influence."
Shen Qin pursed her lips, her tone revealing a hint of jealousy.
She harbored an equal hatred for every girl who had feelings for her brother, regardless of who they were.
"Mr. Shen is indeed a very good leader."
Li Tang smoothed things over for him, saying, "As for outside the city, our people and Zhao Yuan's side are all fine. We just need to give the order, and then we will launch an attack on Night Sin City."
Having spent these days with him, he had witnessed the abilities of his elder brother, the leader—in just a few months, he had secretly integrated all the "Forgotten Ones" outside the city, and they were all loyal followers of him.
He didn't deny that there was definitely help from capable people involved, but for "the forgotten" like them, the methods were not important; the result was what mattered.
The truth is that although Zhao Yuan is nominally the leader of the "Forgotten Ones" outside the city, he is actually in a state of being semi-powerful... There is no need to take him down now, but once the matter is settled, he should be out of office soon.
It's quite terrifying to think about, but fortunately, he's a big fan of the Shen siblings, so he doesn't feel any psychological burden.
"You don't need to worry about weapons or anything like that."
The person sent by Long Tianding continued, "The extra batch ordered by City Lord Long is already on its way and will be delivered directly to the Fifth District. You can distribute it yourselves."
However, he also gave a heads-up, "Apart from that, Lord Long will not help you with anything else. If you fail, please keep your promise and do not involve him in the matter."
"...We are already very grateful that Lord Long has been able to help us so much."
Shen He nodded in understanding, but he also knew that if they really failed, no matter how much they tried to pin it on him, Long Tianding could probably still remain neutral... Just because he provided the Fifth District's base and these weapons, they thought they could drag him down with them? He could easily absolve himself of all responsibility with a simple excuse of oversight and ignorance.
As for the envoy's pessimistic predictions... to be honest, they certainly weren't 100% certain either.
It can only be said that the people present were a loser's alliance. Who hadn't suffered at Xu Shi's hands? He was the first to suffer. To say that he was full of ambition would be self-deception.
But having concerns is not a reason not to do it. Otherwise, like a frog being slowly boiled in water, these people will still not have a good ending. They can only try to take a chance.
"In that case, I wish you all success."
Having said that, the envoy had no choice but to leave after giving a few instructions.
“I’ve gone back to make some preparations. I still have some people I can use, so that’s some kind of guarantee.”
Lin Wenhua didn't linger; after exchanging a few pleasantries, he also hurriedly got up.
"Brother, I..."
Having not seen each other for a long time, Shen Qin really wanted to spend some time with Shen He, so she dismissed Li Tang and his party and planned to spend some time alone with him.
