"..."
Old He was speechless; that one sentence said it all.
Actually, he wasn't entirely sure before whether Xu Shi really knew about the little tricks he and Shen He had pulled against him in the past, since the other party had always maintained an ambiguous attitude, yet seemed to have helped him every time he was asked to...
But given the current situation, it would be foolish not to figure it out.
"I won't lie to you, I was the one who sowed discord regarding the 'Sea Crane,' and after selling you the 'Twins,' I was the one who sent people to destroy your warehouse."
Xu Shi straightened him on the bed. "But compared to what you did to me, it shouldn't be too much, right? Don't you think so?"
"...Yes, yes, it's all my fault!"
He Yuqiang was naturally furious upon hearing this, but was now the time to lose his temper? What he should do was to apologize with a smile and try to get him to spare his life.
"Shark Tooth's business is so big, you need someone you know to help you manage it, right? Consider this my way of making amends? Old Xu, I'm begging you..."
"…Many people are familiar with 'Shark Tooth,' why would I specifically choose you?"
Xu Shi shook his head. "Putting everything else aside, your father is still alive and well... It's not your turn to be ranked by seniority."
"Or do you want to compete with him?"
He thought for a moment and then said, "Why don't you come yourself? The old man is in the next room. If you can shoot him dead, maybe I'll consider it."
As he spoke, he gestured to Su Lin, who understood and handed him a pistol.
"I……"
He Yuqiang stood there, gun in hand, at a loss. After a long while, as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth, got up, and walked towards the door.
Anyway, the old man doesn't have many days left to live, so perhaps...
Unfortunately, he hadn't taken more than two steps when Su Lin kicked him back, sending him sprawling to the ground.
"Damn it, you're really going?!"
Xu Shi asked incredulously, "You really wouldn't do that to your own father, would you? Have you no humanity left?"
"To tell you the truth, Uncle He passed away last night. We couldn't save him... It's a good thing he died sooner, otherwise it would have been even more painful for you to be so angry that you died of grief."
He only learned of this news at the meeting just now, and to be honest, he felt a bit of a sense of shared sorrow – He Jiayuan, this elder, had no conflict with him, the only problem was that he didn't discipline his son properly, and in the end, he ended up like this, which is quite regrettable.
"...Xu Shi! You fucking bastard!"
He Yuqiang was stunned for a long time before he realized that Xu Shi was playing a trick on him. This gave him a bit of courage from somewhere, and he roared as he got up and frantically pulled the trigger at Xu Shi.
Then came the awkward moment.
The gun was empty.
"There aren't many people as stupid as you, Qiangzi."
Xu Shi chuckled, "We're so close, how could I possibly give you a gun with bullets?"
"But you actually wanted to kill me, that really hurt me... How can I forgive you now?"
Su Lin rolled her eyes. The young master's perverse sense of humor was truly excessive. Even with an enemy, torturing and toying with them like this was going too far…
"No, no, no! No!"
He Yuqiang was already somewhat dazed. The seed of evil that had been planted in his body earlier was now amplifying his fear to the extreme. He begged for mercy incoherently, "Old Xu, I was just confused for a moment. We used to be friends, right? Can you give me another chance? We even had a party together just two weeks ago..."
"That reason isn't enough, let's find another one... hmm?"
Xu Shi was admiring his good brother's backbone when he realized something was wrong as he listened. "Who threw a party with you two weeks ago?"
The truth is, my buddy hasn't had a party in ages. Isn't his sister at home just as appealing?
But He Yuqiang's words clearly exposed a problem.
"You fucking opened iPart and didn't call me, huh?!"
Xu Shi displayed unprecedented anger, and before He Yuqiang could react, the snake's head was already pressed against his forehead.
"Now I have no choice but to kill you."
Bang--
"I remember some people saying they'd rather play by themselves than include him."
Su Lin couldn't help but complain, "Now you're saying they didn't call you 'you'... Are you the legendary double standard, young master?"
Whether I go or not is my business; whether he invites me or not is his problem.
Xu Shi smiled and said that, in the end, the reason for killing He Yuqiang was not that. The so-called anger was just an act. In reality, it was not that exaggerated.
It's all just for the sake of the show.
"But now that he mentioned it, I'm actually thinking of opening one... Could you help me make some arrangements?"
"There are already a lot of people in the house."
Su Lin said helplessly, "Young Master, are you serious?"
"Homegrown flowers never smell as sweet as wildflowers."
Xu Shi teased her a bit more before she stopped, "Alright, whether we open it or not, we still have to finish what we need to do right now... We've had enough of the appetizers, it's time for the main course."
The Shen siblings were indeed the main course, and Chairman Xu was even more meticulous in his preparation.
The cell door opened, revealing that both men were restrained by special shackles—specifically designed to prevent them from activating their abilities, and the effect was remarkable.
However, it seems a bit unnecessary... because Shen Qin, the main combatant, is still somewhat dazed, sitting there blankly without moving, which is obviously because the effects of the sedative have not completely dissipated.
"Good heavens, how much did you inject her with?"
Even Xu Shi himself was a little surprised when he saw it, and he frowned as he looked at Su Lin.
