It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Or maybe it's because the Qi family father and son also know some inside information, so they take advantage of every opportunity to show their loyalty to the "Snake Ring"?

"Well, my two nephews."

Qi Kang said leisurely, "It is indeed offensive for us to come and disturb you, but I would like to trouble you to invite Brother He out as well, and then come with me?"

"Well, my father is ill and is recuperating at home..."

He Yuzhao gritted his teeth and struggled.

"It's okay, you can raise them the same way as mine."

Qi Kang acted like a caring elder, but the troops behind him loaded their guns in unison.

"……walk slowly."

He Yuqiang curled his lips. The fact was that they could only be slaughtered by others now.

It looks like something bad will happen if I try to hold on... So instead of getting beaten to a pulp, it's no problem to give my father some help.

So in a short while, with the help of the servants, the emaciated He Jiayuan was pushed out lying on the bed.

It's interesting to say that Mr. He was already terminally ill. After he forced himself to attend the last meeting, his condition worsened. He has been half-conscious and has no idea what has happened outside during this period of time.

However, perhaps he was aware of something instinctively, and he opened his eyes dazedly when he was pushed out.

"...Qi Kang?"

When he saw the person coming, he was very surprised and asked weakly - it can be seen that the chief director of the "Imaginary Number" family has indeed disappeared for a long time.

"Ah, Brother He."

Qi Kang smiled apologetically and shook his head helplessly, "Come to my place and talk. I'll tell you the rest slowly."

In fact, he didn't need to explain it. When Mr. He saw the situation around him and the two cubs who were also controlled and hung their heads like quails, he had a rough idea in his mind.

He didn't seem surprised, perhaps he had expected it.

So he just sighed intermittently and closed his eyes again.

They said they were inviting people, but in reality the nature of the Qi family's father and son coming here was almost the same as confiscating a person's property.

Seeing the entire He family packed up and loaded into the car, Qi Maoyang couldn't help but ask one more question.

"Dad, what do you say now?"

"What else can I say?"

Qi Kang turned his neck and gestured to him.

The only difference is that the direction is not their own territory, but the "Snake Ring".

"Hmm? Just... hand them over to Xu Shi directly?"

Qi Maoyang blinked.

In fact, the situation of "imaginary numbers" is the latter mentioned just now - Xu Shi didn't say hello to them from beginning to end, let alone instruct them to do so.

However, they have always remained sensitive and vigilant about this, so as early as when the riot outside the city began, Qi Maoyang had already realized the seriousness of the matter, and had been waiting for the opportunity to do something.

There's no better time than now.

Obviously, he had his own thoughts when he asked such a question... It was better to control the people of "Shark Tooth" first than to just watch from the sidelines, but it would not be good to just send them to Xu Shi like this? In fact, he could take this opportunity to discuss the conditions. As long as it was not too excessive, it would be a good thing for "Imaginary Number".

Otherwise wouldn't you really become someone else's trouble?

"if not?"

Facing Haodaer's question, Qi Kang just smiled and said, "Let me ask you, which side do you stand on in the current situation? Are you still on the opposite side of Xu Shi? Or are you staying neutral?"

"…That must be Xu Shi's side."

There was nothing much to think about this question, and Qi Maoyang gave an answer immediately.

"In that case, what's the problem with giving him who he wants?"

Qi Kang continued, "Or do you want to use this little bargaining chip to compete with him?"

"I……"

Qi Maoyang couldn't answer.

"Since you don't have this idea, then don't make things complicated, understand?"

Qi Kang patted his son on the shoulder and said, "It's enough for us to do this. We can just ignore the rest."

"As for the benefits... We have already done this, are you still afraid that he will lose ours? If you ask for it, it will make people hate you... I have raised you up, but I don't see any ambition to unify the Night Sin City, right?"

Qi Maoyang nodded and shook his head. He really didn't have such an idea.

"That's fine, just enough is enough."

Qi Kang was not angry when he heard this. On the contrary, he seemed very pleased. "Your father is the same as me. I don't have big ambitions... If you don't have such big ambitions, don't let others think you have them."

"I remember you told me before that following Xu Shi would bring many benefits, right? Why are you being so stupid at this critical moment?"

"…Father taught me that."

Qi Maoyang also understood and nodded in agreement.

“I still need to practice.”

Qi Kang patted his shoulder again, "You're still a little short of maturity."

"Yes."

"Okay, why are you so restrained? Don't worry about what happens next. I will go and negotiate with Xu Shi in person."

Qi Kang smiled and said, "Don't just stand there like an idiot. Go take inventory of this place again."

"it is good."

Qi Maoyang responded hurriedly, but before he could move, he saw someone walking towards him.

You can tell he is a "snake ring" person by looking at his appearance.

"Mr. Qi, little Mr. Qi."

The visitor greeted them politely.

"you are?"

Qi Maoyang didn't have much impression of him.

"My name is Xue Zhao, and I'm the team leader of the Snake Ring Field Team 1."

The man cupped his hands and said, "Boss Xu sent me to keep an eye on Shark Tooth. He also told me that if someone from Imaginary Number comes, let them handle the matter."

"But Mr. Xu also said that we should make appropriate inquiries, such as handing the person over to us directly? I think so too. This kind of dirty and tiring work is not suitable for you two to do in person. It's better for us to do it."

"...That's great. I'll leave it to you, Team Leader Xue."

Qi Kang came back to his senses first and responded politely without looking down on Xue Zhao because of his status.

Qi Maoyang on the side was a little scared - Oh my god, it turns out Xu Shi’s people have been there all the time!

And the other party's words also explained a lot.

For example, the people from the "Snake Ring" arrived earlier than them.

And what does this secret observation mean? Actually, I just want to see what role I will play in this turmoil, right?

If we really do it according to our own ideas, then the nature of the so-called "help from friendly companies" will change...

The fact is that it is not easy to compete with the "Snake Ring" with the strength of "Imaginary Number". Even though they have a good relationship on the surface now, who knows what Xu Shi is thinking?

I have fired an employee before because he walked in with his left foot first. Some things are better not done, but once you want to make something of them, everything becomes an excuse.

Thinking of this, he even felt that his previous plan was childish and stupid.

"Why is Mr. Qi so nervous?"

Xue Zhao just smiled when he saw this, "Boss Xu has already said that you and he are friends. If you really did anything for him, it's too late to thank you."

"But if it's really convenient, I wonder if you two have time to go back with me?"

"What to do?"

Qi Maoyang just felt his mind was in a mess.

"Director Xu didn't tell me the details, and he also said it's okay if you two don't go."

Xue Zhao said respectfully.

"He just said there's still a good show to watch."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 171: Since ancient times, the left side loses in the game!

"Oh, welcome, welcome."

Not long after, seeing Qi Maoyang brought to the office by Xue Zhao, Xu Shi gestured enthusiastically, "Old Qi, come and sit down."

"Haha, Mr. Xu is really sitting on the Diaoyutai."

Qi Maoyang laughed awkwardly twice and sat down opposite him tremblingly.

That's right, I was trembling with fear.

It can only be said that he was still in fear of Xu Shi’s previous arrangements, and now that he was "invited" here, he would naturally feel nervous.

"No, it's far from stable."

Xu Shi asked someone to show him the tea, rubbed his temple tiredly, and then asked with a little regret, "Where is Uncle Qi? Didn't he come with you?"

"Ah... my father has some things to deal with, so it's just me and Team Leader Xue who are here."

Qi Maoyang paused and thought, do you really want to have a roll-up party?

How dare we come together as a couple?

Although the role played by "imaginary numbers" in this turmoil is relatively subtle, it has not really stood in opposition to the "snake ring".

But some things cannot be taken for granted. God knows what Xu Shi thinks of them?

The word "please" has always been worthy of scrutiny. What if it was a Hongmen Banquet?

But you can't just not come if someone asks you to, that would still be a problem... So after discussing it, the father and son decided to let Qi Maoyang come - he had dealt with Xu Shi a lot before, and they were relatively familiar with each other, but old man Qi Kang had never had any interaction with him at all.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Xu Shi felt even more regretful after hearing this, "I have never visited Uncle Qi. Forget it, I will visit him in person later."

He really felt regretful, because from his perspective, the Qi father and son were very interesting figures in the consortium, at least Qi Maoyang was.

So he also wanted to get to know this father whom he had never met before and see what kind of person he was.

In particular, he wanted to ask, did you and your son really go through the cave at the same time? Very curious!

But he also knew why Xiao Qi was so nervous. He was very good at reading people's expressions... So he walked up to Qi Maoyang and comforted him with a smile, "Why are you so reserved? We are good brothers."

Qi Maoyang thought to himself, please don’t do that. Everyone has seen what happened to the last person you called brother. This is not a nice word.

"look at you."

Xu Shi seemed to know what he was thinking, "I'm telling the truth. Do you still think I called you here to trick you into killing me?"

"I'm not that cruel... Even if you really want to use Qiangzi to negotiate with me, it doesn't matter. Besides, you don't have it, right?"

If he were to be honest with himself, he really had no intention of doing anything with "imaginary numbers".

Admittedly, he had not informed or asked the Qi family father and son to do anything before, indeed, he wanted to see what their attitude was... and now after seeing it, he was quite satisfied with it.

Maybe because he has always been at a relatively low position in the food chain, "Imaginary Number" has always been cautious in doing things. As he said, whether it is to show loyalty or to gain some benefits from "Shark Tooth", it is all within the acceptable range for him. It is not worth it to stir up extra blood and rain for this.

The fact is that he does want to take the opportunity to further enhance his control over Night Crime City, but he does not want to completely reshuffle the ruling class, he still has to leave a part of it... How can he, Xu Shi, do everything by himself?

In addition to the previous collaborations with "Imaginary Number" and the fact that he had tricked the other person without saying a word at the beginning, he still feels guilty now.

Don’t scream. Mr. Xu is a very kind person, but he also suffers from guilty conscience from time to time.

"...Old Xu, you are too kind. I have simply never experienced such a big scene before. I am just a little tired."

Qi Maoyang smiled when he heard that, but he felt relieved in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
