"About...that much?"
Director Su gestured.
"Even an elephant might not need that many, right?"
Xu Shi found it hard to tell whether this was unintentional or deliberate. "If you really turn her into an idiot, you'll be responsible for taking care of her for the rest of her life."
"I know I was wrong..."
Su Lin muttered something.
"...Is there any water? At least give my sister some water, okay?"
Upon seeing Xu Shi arrive, Shen He's reaction was unexpectedly calm. "For such a large conglomerate, is this your way of treating guests?"
"You don't consider yourself a guest, do you, Young Master Shen?"
Xu Shi clicked his tongue and shook his index finger. "Speaking of which, this isn't the first time we've met... Why do you seem even more childish than last time?"
Say what you want.
Shen He paused, avoiding the question, "Could you find a doctor for Xiao Qin? If you hadn't used her to blackmail me before, I wouldn't have failed so easily."
"Yes, yes, I will take good care of her."
Xu Shi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "But judging from what Young Master Shen is saying, you seem quite unconvinced?"
What does "if I hadn't been threatened" even mean? He didn't agree with that statement at all; it sounded like he was blaming all the failure on Shen Qin...
The fact is that even without Shen Qin, Shen He still wouldn't have changed anything—Xia Ke'an's prophecy, the double crushing of the virtual and real worlds, including arranging for Lin Yue to capture him, which one wasn't a better arrangement?
Or rather, given such a disparity in strength, unless one is the kind of exceptional individual depicted in the original story, it would be strange if Shen He succeeded. To be honest, Xu Shi's focus was no longer solely on his so-called opponent, but rather, as the old aunt had previously stated, to seize this opportunity to consolidate the chaos among all parties and gain substantial benefits. This was the more worthwhile thing to do.
This is a fact that anyone with eyes can see, and even Shen He himself is well aware of it... It's just that his pitiful self-esteem is causing him to stubbornly cling to this excuse.
Thinking about it this way, Xu Shi found it funny.
You can fool your buddies, but don't fool yourself too.
Besides, he came here today to show Chen He his true colors. If the other party were really like He Laosan, crying and begging for mercy right away, it would be much less fun, wouldn't it?
It was at this time that...
Hurried footsteps could be heard outside the cell.
Along with this came Xia Wuyou's call, "Xu Shi? Xu Shi, are you here?"
oh?
Xu Shi was taken aback, but his expression quickly became amused.
Looking at Shen He again, at first glance he seemed unchanged, but it was obvious that there was a hint of sinister intent in his eyes.
It seems that some things don't fade with time, but rather continue to ferment and escalate.
