This private hospital in the 16th arrondissement is a property under the "Prism" organization.
The portraits displayed in the lobby are, of course, those of the group's contemporary leaders.
Xie Qingyan.
The moment he grasped this information, Xu Shi suddenly understood.
She's the one who did it!
This is not a baseless speculation, but a well-founded conclusion.
Although the story of "He Yuqiang turning into one-eared" did not appear in the original work, the situation of "Shark Tooth" itself was quite chaotic.
The current head of "Shark Tooth," Ho Chia-yuan, has three children.
He Yuqiang is the youngest of the family; he has an older brother, He Yuzhao, and an older sister, He Yuxia.
In the storyline he knew, He Yuxia was devoted to art and had little interest in inheriting the conglomerate, but He Yuzhao and He Yuqiang both coveted the position of the group's leader.
If even an only son like himself has to be restrained by old men like Lin Wenhua, one can imagine how much more serious the struggle between the two brothers must be.
With He Jiayuan now nearing the end of his life, the chaos within "Shark Tooth" is likely to escalate further.
Under these circumstances, He Yuzhao and He Yuqiang naturally had their own thoughts.
He Laosan, a good friend, sought cooperation with Shenhe's "Spark," while He Yuzhao's chosen partner was his fiancée, Xie Qingyan, the person in charge of "Prism."
Compared to him, the difference in their abilities seems obvious... However, this is only because He Yu is stronger than Xie Qingyan, who looks down on him.
The result was naturally quite dramatic—under the influence of Shen He's protagonist aura, He Yuzhao and Xie Qingyan, despite joining forces, were unable to subdue He Yuqiang and instead suffered repeated losses and retreats.
In the end, He Yuqiang successfully turned the tables on his elder brother and inherited "Shark Tooth".
Although this did not affect the fact that He Laosan ultimately met a similar fate to himself, the grudge between Xie Qingyan and Shen He was gradually built up during this process.
Once you think about it this way, everything makes sense.
He Yuzhao and Xie Qingyan were definitely keeping a close eye on He Yuqiang's every move, and they didn't want to see him and "Xinghuo" get back together, which is why they did this.
As for why Xu Shi was certain that Xie Qingyan was the mastermind and not He Yuzhao... Nonsense, if it were He Yuzhao, then He Yuqiang would have lost not just an ear, but his life.
On the contrary, Xie Qingyan, although she has a cooperative relationship with He Yuzhao, may not be happy to see He Yuzhao dominate the market.
The most advantageous situation for her would be if the two brothers fought to the death.
She even has room to maneuver when the time is right.
Well, you're something else, you're definitely a bad woman!
Having figured everything out, Xu Shi couldn't help but feel a little emotional, while also feeling somewhat annoyed with his long-unseen fiancée.
Because their ideas, to some extent, coincided.
Although he was trying to exacerbate the conflict between He Yuqiang and Shen He, Xu Shi himself did not want anything to happen to his good brother. At least not now, and if anything did happen, it shouldn't be to someone else.
On the one hand, he wanted him to pay off his debts; on the other hand, he also hoped that, while keeping He Yuqiang under control, he could help him smoothly inherit the conglomerate.
In this way, before his strength reaches the required level, the unstable factors of "Shark Tooth" will be eliminated as much as possible, and once he is strong enough, it will be easier and more natural for him to swallow it up.
Yes, this bastard has big ambitions.
One military industrial park is enough for Night City; why have two more?
But the situation is now a bit tricky—He Yuqiang's injuries are not serious, and Xie Qingyan's actions seem more like a warning.
The problem is that his good friend is disfigured... The conglomerate will not allow someone with a damaged image to be their head, which undoubtedly reduces his competitiveness.
Furthermore, He Jiayuan himself is a conservative who advocates for a singular focus on military development rather than a combination of mechanical advancements. This means that if his good friend tries to use bionic organs to deceive him, the situation will only get worse.
This is why he ignored He Yuqiang after his accident; the old man had already abandoned his youngest son... At least until his death, this situation was unlikely to change.
If he were to die, He Yuzhao's position would already be secure, and He Yuqiang would have little chance of turning the tables.
This made it hard for Xu Shi not to suspect that his fiancée did such a thing based on this calculation.
It can only be said that when two ambitious people collide, the situation always becomes more complicated.
Compared to this, the whereabouts of the drowning can be postponed a little.
After all, although He Yuqiang had been trying to cover things up, Xu Shi was still clear that he did not have the real strength to kill Shen He.
Because Shenhe has something in his possession.
"Beacon"
That was his father Shen Tianhong's ascension ability—a special item created at the cost of his own lifespan, which could be activated when needed to teleport to a pre-set anchor point regardless of distance.
In the background, Shen Tianhong used the "beacon" to create a chance for Shen He and his sister to live when his family was being wiped out, while he himself gave up the opportunity and died a heroic death.
In the early part of the story, it was precisely because of the "beacon" that Shenhe was able to turn danger into safety on many occasions.
This time will certainly be no exception, otherwise he would probably find it very difficult to escape from He Yuqiang's encirclement alone.
If I remember correctly, this item can be used three times at the beginning of the story, which means that Shenhe has two more chances like this.
Xu couldn't help but think to himself, "Hey, are you the boss or am I the boss?"
