The truth is, she couldn't stay long either. Theoretically, today was a workday... Thinking about it, she felt quite annoyed. One minute they were discussing how to deal with Xu Shi, and the next she had to continue working for him temporarily to avoid arousing suspicion.
However, Shen He's first words made her somewhat unhappy.
"Xiao Qin, promise me something."
Shen He said seriously, "During the riot, we sent some of our men to protect one person."
"Huh? Who is it?"
Shen Qin asked curiously.
"He Yuxia, the second daughter of the 'Shark Tooth' Consortium."
"...Why her?!"
Shen Qin frowned upon hearing this, "What's so special about her?"
She had no idea what had happened between Shen He and He Yuxia, and when she heard that it was a girl, she immediately became wary.
"To be honest, she is indeed quite special."
Shen He patiently explained, "If it weren't for her help, I probably wouldn't have been able to return to the city so easily."
When He Yuxia initially made the promise, he didn't really take it to heart. In his view, it was just going back to the city, why would he need someone else to help him with something like that?
He then discovered that the matter was indeed difficult to handle—with the six major conglomerates and the city hall working together, the approval process for the "Forgotten Ones" to enter the city had become extremely strict. His original plan to impersonate someone else was completely unworkable, and he almost got caught.
So in the end, he had no choice but to contact Miss He Er, hoping to get some help from her.
The other party readily agreed and changed the list of "Forgotten Ones" who were originally going to move into "Shark Tooth," which allowed them to enter the city without any major incidents.
For her, who is returning to her family and gradually repairing her relationship with them, this is not a difficult task.
"In the end, I owe them a favor."
Speaking of the sinking in the river, he still felt a pang of regret. "Besides," he said, "in my plans, the 'Shark Tooth' project still can't be ignored."
"Does brother have other plans?"
This was the first time Shen Qin had heard him mention this, so she quickly asked out of curiosity.
"yes."
Shen He nodded. "Long Tianding's people are wavering, and Lin Wenhua only has a handful of men under his command... To put it bluntly, once the operation begins, the main force will still be us, the 'Forgotten Ones.'"
"In this situation, it's best to try and get as much as possible, and right now, the only thing we can probably get is 'Shark Tooth'."
"But I remember, brother, you seemed to have some kind of conflict with 'Shark Tooth' before?"
Shen Qin frowned, "Our relationship with them may not be pleasant, this..."
"So it would be more appropriate for you to go first? If that doesn't work, I'll step in."
Shen He smiled and said, "They are not a monolithic entity, so He Yuzhao and He Yuqiang need to contact each other separately, but they should not know that the other side is also our ally."
This was actually a risky move, after all, he had worked with He Yuqiang a lot in the past, so he knew a lot about "Shark Tooth" - He Yuzhao was "Prism's" dog, and now He Yuqiang himself was also completely controlled by Xu Shi.
If either of them disagrees, they could very well turn around and sell them out... However, he knew what kind of people these two brothers were, which is why he made this arrangement.
Whether it's the eldest or the third son of the He family, frankly speaking, they are both young directors of conglomerates. Who would be willing to be slowly devoured by others? Now that an opportunity is presented to them, the worst-case scenario is that they will bet on both sides like Long Tianding.
Besides, these two aren't as skilled as that old fox Long Tianding, and their "Ascension" abilities aren't very strong either. He could influence He Yuqiang with his abilities before, and he certainly can still do it now.
Shen Qin understood. Was this another backup plan for their side? In this way, they could use Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenhua's forces as shields to weaken them to some extent, which felt like reaping the benefits without lifting a finger...
Thinking about it, she found it funny—to be honest, if they regarded Xu Shi as the big boss, as the ultimate goal, then they should have united as one.
Unfortunately, no one can do that. It's easier to deal with Zhao Yuan, but Lin Wenhua definitely has his own agenda, and Long Tianding, like everyone else, has his own ambitions...
It can only be said that they were never a united front from the beginning; they only temporarily came together for their own interests.
"Of course, that's not all."
Shen He continued leisurely, "That Miss He also gave me another inspiration."
He whispered a few words to Shen Qin, whose eyes lit up upon hearing them.
"Brother, your abilities... can be used like this?"
"I never thought of that before."
Shen He smiled and sighed, "I was reminded of that. I've been trying outside the city these past few days, and now I've not only recovered to my normal level, but I'm even stronger than before."
As he spoke, he turned on his communication bracelet and pointed to one of the icons, saying, "Because I've found a very good channel."
Shen Qin wasn't stupid; she quickly realized the feasibility of her brother's plan.
"So, I'm too grateful to Miss He, and naturally I don't want her to be affected in any way."
"Tch, always calling her Miss He, brother, you wouldn't happen to have...
Shen Qin pouted and muttered something in an attempt not to spoil the mood.
Shen He didn't speak, but his smile widened.
The fact is that he and He Yuxia have been communicating quite a bit during this period of time. Their relationship has gradually evolved from that of a simple rescuer and rescued person to something more than just friends.
