It was as if someone had foreseen that the United States would exercise long-arm jurisdiction over Alstom and then allow the Spencer Group to raise the acquisition price.
What on earth was he fighting against? Such thoughts undoubtedly went beyond Sigong Huangguang's logical thinking and he fell into deep confusion.
After a moment of silence, Shigong Huangguang said to Fujita Akira and Sayoko: "Wait here for a moment..."
Then he went down to the corridor alone and walked towards another brightly lit area in the Shigong Mansion.
When Sigong Huangguang arrived at his brother Shengshi's residence, the other party had already prepared dishes and sake.
Sigong Huangguang sat down silently, watching Shengshi pour wine for him. He drank it all in one gulp, then said, "Did you know that I would come to beg you?"
Sigong Shengshi didn't drink. He just placed the bottle in front of his elder brother, then put his hands in his sleeves and said, "Haha, elder brother, you must be confused. You have come to this point. Who else can help you? After all, they are still your old brothers. It's a pity that Yunying is gone."
Sigong Huangguang was drinking by himself, and asked in a somewhat cold voice: "Did you plan this?"
Even if you really have to lose, you have to lose clearly.
"No, I don't have the ability to predict the future and set a trap for you." Shengshi said calmly.
"Then help me, Shengshi. I can fall, but I can't fall in this way. This will hit the reputation of the entire Shigong family. Don't expect that they will listen to you after I fall and you take power. What's more, there is the Shijo family outside, eyeing you covetously..."
Shengshi smiled faintly, then turned on the TV, which happened to be broadcasting the news, and it happened to be news about the Shinomiya family.
[The fall of the ancient empire! The Shinomiya family is about to collapse. 】
"Look, big brother, our Shinomiya family is really unpopular. It's still far from collapse, but some people are already impatiently blowing the wind." Shengshi said.
A strand of white hair fell down from Sigong Huangguang, and then he tightly grasped his brother's hand and said: "This is the eye drops from the Shijo family, so Shengshi, you have to help me, help me get through this difficult time, I can give you the Niden Company, and I can let you be the full head of the family."
As a result, Shengshi gently pulled his hand away: "Even if I don't help you and just watch you die, can't I still get all this?"
“But by then, all you will get is a broken Sigong family. Even if this acquisition fails, I am not without the capital to turn it around.” Sigong Huangguang said coldly.
As a result, Sigong Shengshi clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile: "As expected of you, Brother Huang Guang, you always think of leaving a way out. You know, I did leave a loophole for you in the Niton Company, which was the safety issue of the previous nuclear power plant. Unfortunately, someone was soft-hearted and let you go, but killed you by surprise somewhere else. Unfortunately, it is not enough. This is not enough to push you into the abyss."
After saying that, Shengshi forwarded another piece of news, which was about a certain overseas real estate group that was exposed to be short of funds and unable to redeem commercial bills.
Instantly, Shigong Shengshi's head was confused. The Japanese Pension Fund...
As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. Even the yellow light in the four palaces has begun to feel unreal.
"Why, at this time?"
"I warned you back then that it's best not to buy the bonds of this real estate company. Not only is the debt ratio too high, but the flow of funds is also too suspicious. But you are anxious to seize control of the pension fund through profit margins. Brother, you are always so suspicious. Even though others are obviously giving you good advice, you are always afraid that they are out to harm you."
But Sigong Shengshi's smile became even brighter.
"You said that after you fell, I could only accept a ruined Shigong Family, but... so what? You still don't know what I want... Actually, Big Brother, you are a mediocre person. In fact, you have realized it yourself, your talent is not even as good as Yunying's, but the responsibilities and obligations of the eldest son have hidden your mediocrity. You can only become suspicious and arrogant, disguising your weaknesses. You don't have the ability to turn the tide, just like your short-lived son."
Shinomiya Huangguang didn't know when he came out. He just felt that he had lost everything and was dazed until he met Fujita Akira standing in front of him.
"Please, please don't give up, Mr. Huang Guang, you still have me and our child..."
This sentence ignited a glimmer of light in Shigong Huangguang, and he almost forgot that he still had an heir. At this moment, even a man as hard-hearted as him felt surprised and other strange emotions towards Fujita Akira.
"Xiao Jing, you..."
Fujita Akira took the initiative to hug Shigong Huangguang.
"We will be fine, and the child will be fine, but the child must have a father after he is born."
Sigong Huangguang showed a bitter smile, but it contained a glimmer of hope for life.
Far away, Sayoko was watching this heartwarming scene calmly and smiled.
Chapter 30 Chapter
Late at night, Shigong Huangguang had a rare nightmare. He dreamed of his poor child Shigong Masamune. His body was stiff, and he seemed to want to say something to him, but Shigong Huangguang couldn't hear it clearly. Then, he saw Fujita Akira dragging a bloody piece of meat and told him that this was his child.
After looking at the piece of meat, Sigong Huangguang suddenly opened his eyes and breathed violently as if he was short of oxygen. His forehead was covered with sweat. When he had the strength to look around, he found that this was his room, and he immediately felt a sense of relief.
But while thinking about the dream just now, I realized that something was wrong.
"Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing... where are you?"
Now that he had suffered a major setback in life, Sigong Huangguang ridiculously felt at ease in the arms of a woman.
Reality smashed him to pieces, and his last bit of pride was shattered by the Four Palaces Sacred Stone. He had lost everything.
He even felt that it might be better if he could live a simple life with this woman and his children. This is probably the portrayal of many failures in life.
But after the initial excitement, Shinomiya Huangguang began to accept this fact, but Fujita Akira, who was supposed to sleep next to him, disappeared for some reason.
After he got up, he shouted a few more times, but there was no response. He couldn't help but frowned until he found a white note on the table.
The words on the note were printed and it was impossible to tell whose handwriting it was. There was just a simple line of words written on it.
[I want to kill Fujita Akira and your child. I came to the abandoned warehouse on Hiromu Street in Nerima District alone. If you call the police or bring someone here...]
A chill and anger filled Sigong Huangguang's heart. He had given up everything and just wanted a peaceful life, but why was there always someone who refused to let him go?
He quickly picked up his phone and left the room, sitting alone in the car. Then his face began to become more gloomy, and his fingers couldn't help but press on the phone.
"Hello......."
About half an hour later, Sigong Huangguang arrived at the abandoned warehouse as scheduled, parked the car aside, and then entered the warehouse, where he saw Fujita Akira tied to a chair.
Something flashing on his body made him feel a bad aura. He rushed over and took away the cloth stuffed in Fujita Jing's mouth, and then said, "Xiao Jing, are you okay?"
"Mr. Huang Guang, please leave quickly. This is a bomb."
Suddenly, Shigong Huangguang saw the bomb on Fujita Akira's body, and the flashing light he saw just now was the timer.
The timer keeps jumping seconds, and the countdown will end when there are three minutes left.
"Good evening, Mr. Shigong Huangguang. Do you like this gift I gave to your little lover and unborn child?"
A hoarse voice came over, Sigong Huangguang turned around and saw a guy in black clothes and a clown mask standing there. The voice was produced through a voice changer, and his clothes were too loose to tell his gender.
"Who are you?" Sigong Huangguang stood up and asked.
"A poor man framed by you, just an avenger." The voice said with a laugh.
Sigong looked at him with yellow eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
"Haha, Mr. Huang Guang, I think you'd better not waste your energy figuring out who I am. Every year you frame countless people whose families are broken up. It could be just a driver or an accountant. After all, even you don't know how many people you have harmed. The Shinomiya family is a family that prospered in these piles of flesh and blood." said the clown.
"This world is a place where the strong prey on the weak. What's there to say about that?" Huang Guang snorted coldly and said disdainfully.
The clown clapped his hands loudly: "That's right, the world is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Now that you are the prey and I am the butcher, you should not hate me, right? After all, this is the world where the strong prey on the weak."
Huang Guang snorted, and the clown laughed: "So you people in the Shigong family are no good. You talk about the survival of the fittest, but you just take it for granted when you are in an advantageous position. When you lose your position, you just want to write off the past, like a woman."
"There's no point in talking any more. What do you want?"
"Nothing serious, I just want to play a game with you. There are two minutes left before the bomb explodes. I'll give you two choices. There are props next to you. You can try to dismantle the time bomb. The second choice is to tie the unactivated bomb next to you to yourself and activate it. When that bomb is activated, the timer of your lover's bomb will stop."
Huang Guang suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist and said, "I can kill you first."
But the Joker laughed darkly: "You don't want to know what will happen if you kill me. But you can try. I don't have a gun."
Huang Guang held the trigger suspiciously but didn't pull it, which made the clown laugh at him again.
"See, your brother Shengshi said that you are absolutely right. You are full of plans but lack decision-making. You dare not gamble on the consequences after I die. It doesn't matter. I will tell you directly. If I die, the bomb will explode immediately. Now, there is only one and a half minutes left."
"Either you die, or you watch your lover and children die. So, make your choice." The clown shouted with a crazy laugh.
Sigong Huangguang couldn't help but frown. Although he had learned knowledge related to bomb dismantling, it was definitely impossible in such a short time. This could not be considered as an option at all.
Then all that's left is to bring the bomb yourself.
"Mr. Huang Guang, please leave quickly. This man is really a lunatic. Don't bother me anymore." Fujita Akira said.
Sigong Huangguang picked up the bomb with some trembling and put it on himself. There was a white button on it.
"Xiao Jing, I said I would give you and your child a stable home, don't worry."
After securing the bomb on his body, Sigong Huangguang rushed out and ran out of the warehouse.
"Mr. Huang Guang..." The shout from behind sounded a little more complicated, as if there was a hint of emotion.
Shinomiya Huangguang was standing next to the car. As long as he pressed the white button, Fujita Akira and her son would be safe. At this time, he was far enough away from them.
The clown clapped his hands gently and said with a smile, "Not bad, Mr. Huang Guang, I have a new respect for you. Then, please press the button, and Fujita Akira and your child will be safe."
As a result, Sigong Huangguang stopped there and said, "If you are lying, I will only activate my bomb when I press the button. Xiaojing's bomb will not stop at all. This is what you want, right?"
The clown was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You know, Mr. Huang Guang, today is the happiest day of my life. I can really see the guy who talks about morality and justice but does another thing."
"I just don't want any unnecessary sacrifices. If I can't confirm that Xiaojing's bomb will stop, I won't press the button." Huang Guang said calmly.
"Mr. Huang Guang...please leave quickly. This is just acting. My bomb will not explode, but your bomb is real. Please leave quickly." Fujita Akira inside kept shouting.
"Did you hear that? Your little lover is thinking about you. Now she is still thinking about sacrificing herself to save you. Money can actually buy true love. What an interesting person." The clown's voice was hoarse like sand scraping across the glass window.
"In thirty seconds, you will say goodbye to your unborn child forever."
Sigong Huangguang's heart was broken. He calculated the time second by second, but his finger finally did not press the white button.
"You said those words just to reassure Fujita Akira."
"You ran out just to avoid facing Fujita Akira's surprised expression because of your lie."
"You are really a mean, selfish and face-conscious person, Mr. Huang Guang."
"The time has come." The clown said coldly.
Bang...There was a sound of explosion in the warehouse.
"Hahaha, Mr. Huang Guang, your children and women have turned into pieces of minced meat."
Huang Guang raised his gun like crazy and fired all the bullets.
The Joker seemed to have realized it in advance and hid in the warehouse that had just exploded.
"Don't be so anxious, Mr. Huang Guang. This is just an appetizer. We still have a long evening ahead of us."
As he was speaking, there was the sound of a wheelchair being pushed, and the clown slowly walked out, pushing someone.
It was Fujita Akira who was supposed to die, and there was a look of surprise on her face.
"Okay, Ms. Fujita Akira, please keep an eye on this man. He just said he took the bomb to save you, but from the beginning to the end he was only thinking about his own face and life, and he had no intention of detonating the bomb at all."
It was as if Sigong Huangguang's long-standing pride was shattered by this clown, and his deepest ugliness was exposed to everyone.
The clown watched all this coldly: "Don't worry, Mr. Huang Guang, this evening is still very long."
Chapter 31 Chapter
Fujita Akira's eyes made Shinomiya Huangguang feel a little painful. As a person who has always been driven by vanity and omnipotent power, this kind of look is the most unacceptable.
"What exactly do you want?" Sigong Huangguang's voice also became a little hoarse.
The Joker slowly pressed the white button on the bomb on Fujita Akira's waist, and the bomb started counting down again.
It smiled and said, "The explosion just now was just an appetizer. Now the main course is here."
As it said that, it threw a machete in front of Sigong Huangguang and said, "I know that if someone wants to kill you directly, you will definitely choose yourself instead of someone close to you in order to protect yourself. So what if it's just an arm? I'm curious, between your lover, your unborn child, and your own arm, what would you choose?"
The clown seemed to treat everything as a fun game, but his unbridled smile concealed deep hatred.
Fujita Jing started crying. She said, "That's enough. Don't do this anymore. Mr. Huang Guang, please go. I have been very grateful to you during this period. I don't have parents, so I have never experienced the feeling of security. Your chest is really comfortable, and that's enough."
She didn't even care about the fact that he was full of righteousness but still didn't save her.
As if deeply stimulated by Fujita Jing's words, Shigong Huangguang asked the clown: "If I am willing to cut off one of my arms, can you really let Xiao Jing go?"
"Another suspicious question. Although I am an Avenger, I am trustworthy. After all, you have no choice but to trust me. Or do you want to shift the blame onto me like you did just now?"
Human nature cannot be tested, but the clown wants to test human nature tonight.
Sigong Huangguang picked up the sharp and heavy machete and looked at it for a long time, wondering why he had fallen to this point.
Maybe it’s because he has someone he cares about. Before, it was his son Shinomiya Masamune, and now it is Fujita Akira and the baby in his belly.
Even though the Holy Stone belittled him to the point of being worthless, Sigong Huangguang was, after all, the eldest son of the Sigong family and naturally had some courage.
Perhaps it was more because when he came out just now, Fujita Akira's seemingly unbelievable eyes hurt him deeply.
A man's dignity is also the most sensitive, especially for the eldest son of the Shinomiya family.
There was a flash of silver light, and Sigong Huangguang cut deeply at the joint between the palm and wrist. Then he let out a scream, and a lot of sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, his face turned pale, and was stained with red blood.
Fujita Akira couldn't bear to watch any more.
The clown showed a cruel smile and said, "It's not broken yet."
