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

"…If I lose, I lose. I accept my fate."

Lin Wenhua paused, and finally spoke, "The only thing I regret is that I didn't kick you, the little bastard, away earlier and do it myself."

"Is your obsession so deep?"

Xu Shi didn't care how he addressed him and just smiled faintly.

"Of course, I don't accept it!"

Lin Wenhua's voice rose eight octaves. "You have no idea how bad the Snake Ring was during your grandfather's generation... It's not an exaggeration to say that your father and I turned the Snake Ring from a small stall back to a second-tier one or even one of the six major conglomerates! It's not an exaggeration!"

"My whole life, my whole life! I've given it all to this place! I have no objection to your father being the director, but why is it that after his death, you Xu are still in charge of this place?! Why…"

boom.

Before he could finish his words, the snake head of the staff began to spit out flames.

Right in the middle of the eyebrows, the whole room applauded.

"You can only ask my father about this question in person after you go down."

Xu Shi wiped his hands, without any emotion in his eyes.

What's so moving about that? It's not that whoever speaks louder has the right... The old man was promised all the wealth and glory, so he can only blame himself for being too greedy.

Some things are supported by a red line. No matter how you act within the line, it’s okay. But once you cross the line, even by just one or half a step, the nature of the matter will be completely different.

"Let's go, next one."

After kicking Lin Wenhua's body away, Xu Shi waved his hand, turned around and left, going to the next room.

The person imprisoned here is He Yuqiang.

The pampered young master couldn't stand the hardship here. He Laosan was obviously much thinner than the last time they met.

Xu Shi couldn't help but sigh, "Good fellow, you were already weak, didn't you know that? Now you're even less human...

"Lao Xu, Lao Xu, Lao Xu!"

Seeing that it was him, He Yuqiang thought about it and felt like he had found a life-saving straw. He used his hands and feet to crawl in front of him, raised his head and begged, "You, you, you...you are kidding me, right? How can you really arrest me, right..."

"Qiangzi, let me ask you a question."

Xu Shi helped him up with a smile, pointed at himself and asked, "What is this?"

"This……"

He Yuqiang was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he wanted to express.

"These are my eyes, and they are not blind."

Xu Shi said seriously, "Do you need me to tell you what you did behind my back? Use your conscience, which you may not have, to think about who was the first to let down your brother, okay?"

To be honest, it was enough to make him angry once, but this bastard could actually score twice with Shen He? After the incident, he still had the audacity to call him a brother. Could it be that he had awakened some supernatural power that made him thicker-skinned?

"..."

He Laosan was speechless. This one sentence said it all.

In fact, he couldn't be completely sure before whether Xu Shi really knew about the little tricks he and Shen He had teamed up to do to him. After all, the other party had always been ambiguous and seemed to have never failed to help him once...

But given the current situation, you’d be a fool not to figure it out.

"I won't hide it from you. I was the one who instigated the "Sea Crane" incident. After I sold you the "Twins", I was also the one who sent people to destroy your warehouse."

Xu Shi put him on the bed, "But compared to what you did to me, it shouldn't be excessive, right? Don't you think so?"

"...Yes, yes, this is what I deserve!"

He Yuqiang was naturally furious when he heard this, but was this the right time to lose his temper? What he should do was to admit his mistake with a smile and try to get him to spare his life.

"Shark Tooth is such a big business, you need someone familiar to help you take care of it, right? Is this to make amends? Lao Xu, please..."

"...There are many people who are familiar with "Shark Tooth", why should I look for you?"

Xu Shi shook his head. "Besides anything else, your father is still alive...it's not your turn based on seniority."

"Or do you want to compete with him?"

He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you come in person? The old man is in the next room. If you can kill him with one shot, maybe I can consider it."

As he spoke, he gestured to Su Lin, who understood and handed him a pistol.

"I……"

He Yuqiang was holding the gun, at a loss. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth, stood up and walked out the door.

Anyway, the old man doesn't have many days left to live, so why not...

Unfortunately, he hadn't taken two steps when Su Lin kicked him back, causing him to fall to the ground.

"WDNMD, are you really going?!"

Xu Shi said in disbelief, "You can't really kill your own father? Do you have any humanity left, huh?"

"To tell you the truth, Uncle He passed away last night. He couldn't be saved... It's a good thing he died early, otherwise wouldn't it be even more painful to let you die of anger?"

He just learned the news at the meeting. To be honest, he felt a little sad - He had no conflicts with He Jiayuan as an elder. The only problem was that he did not educate his children well. In the end, he ended up with such an ending, which was enough to make people sigh.

"...Xu Shi! You fucking bastard!"

He Yuqiang was stunned for a long while before he realized that Xu Shi was playing a joke on him. This made him find some courage from somewhere. He stood up with a roar and pulled the trigger at him frantically.

Then came the embarrassment.

There are no bullets in the gun.

"There aren't many people who are as stupid as you, Qiangzi."

Xu Shi laughed in silence, "We are so close, how can I give you a gun with bullets?"

"But you actually wanted to kill me. This makes me so sad... How can I forgive you after this?"

Su Lin on the side rolled her eyes. Should I say that the young master's bad taste is really too much? Even if it is an enemy, to torture and tease him like this is a bit too much...

"No, no, no! No!"

He Yuqiang was already a little dazed. The evil thought that had been in his body earlier amplified the fear in his heart to the extreme. He begged for mercy incoherently, "Lao Xu, I was confused for a moment. After all, we were friends before, right? Can you give me another chance? We had a party together half a month ago..."

"That's not enough reason. Change it... huh?"

Xu Shi was just admiring his good brother's backbone, but as he listened, he realized something was wrong, "Who had a party with you half a month ago?"

The fact is that I haven’t had a party for a long time. Isn’t my sister at home nice?

But He Yuqiang's words clearly exposed a problem.

"You're not calling me when you're fucking driving Impart, are you?!"

Xu Shi showed unprecedented anger, and before He Yuqiang could react, the snake's head had already touched his forehead.

"I have no choice but to kill you now."

boom--

"I remember some people once said that they would rather play by themselves than bring him along."

Su Lin couldn't help but complain, "Now you're saying that people don't call you... Are you the legendary double standard, Master?"

"Whether I go or not is my business, but whether I am called or not is his problem."

Xu Shi smiled. After all, this was certainly not the reason for killing He Yuqiang. The so-called anger was also pretended. How could it be so exaggerated in reality?

It's just for the show effect.

"But now that he mentioned that, I really want to open one... Can you help me arrange it?"

“There are already many people at home.”

Su Lin said helplessly, "Master, are you serious?"

"How can domestic flowers be as fragrant as wild flowers?"

Xu Shi teased her again before giving up, "Forget it, whether it's open or not, we have to finish the things in front of us... We've almost finished the appetizers, it's time for the main course."

The Shen brothers and sisters are indeed the main dish, and even in terms of the level of care, Director Xu is more serious.

When the cell door opened, they saw that both men were restricted in their movements by special shackles - these were designed specifically to prevent them from activating their abilities, and the effect was remarkable.

But it seems a bit unnecessary... because Shen Qin, who is responsible for the combat power, is still a little dazed, sitting there blankly without moving. It is obvious that the effect of the sedative has not completely dissipated.

"Good man, how much did you inject her with?"

Even Xu Shi himself was a little surprised when he saw it, and looked at Su Lin with a frown.

"About... this much?"

Director Su Da gestured.

“Even elephants may not need so much, right?”

It was hard to tell whether she did it on purpose or not. "If you really make her a fool, you will be responsible for supporting her for the rest of her life."

"I know I was wrong..."

Sulin muttered.

"…Is there any water? Can you at least give my sister some water?"

Seeing Xu Shi coming, Shen He's reaction was unexpectedly calm, "After all, this is your way of entertaining guests from such a large consortium?"

"You don't think you're a guest, do you, Mr. Shen?"

Xu Shi smacked his lips and shook his index finger. "This isn't the first time we've met... Why do I feel like you're even more childish than last time?"

"Whatever you say."

Shen He paused and avoided the question. "Can you find a doctor for Xiao Qin? If you hadn't threatened me with her before, I wouldn't have failed so easily."

"Okay, okay, I will take good care of her."

Xu Shi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "But from what Master Shen said, you seem very unconvinced?"

What does "if I hadn't been threatened" mean? He didn't agree with this sentence from the bottom of his heart. It was as if he was blaming Shen Qin for the failure...

The fact is that even if Shen Qin was not there, Shen He still couldn't change anything - Xia Ke'an's prophecy, the double crushing of the virtual and real worlds, including arranging Lin Yue to catch him, which one is not a better arrangement?

In other words, with such a huge disparity in strength, as long as he is not the top-notch one in the original novel, it would be strange for Shen He to succeed - to be honest, Xu Shi's focus is no longer just on his so-called opponent, but as the old aunt said before, he wants to take this opportunity to integrate the chaos of all parties and gain huge benefits, which is a more worthwhile thing to do.

This is actually a fact that anyone with a discerning eye can see, and even Shen He himself knows it very well...it's just that his pitiful self-esteem is at work, so he uses such an excuse to hold on.

Thinking about it this way, Xu Shi found it funny instead.

You can fool your buddies, but don’t fool yourself.

Besides, he came here today to show his face to Shen He. If the other party was really like He Laosan, crying and begging for mercy as soon as he came up, it would be a lot less fun, wouldn't it?

That's when.

There were hurried footsteps outside the cell.

Along with it came Xia Wuyou's call, "Xu Shi? Xu Shi, are you here?"

Oh?

Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, but his expression soon turned into one of playfulness.

Looking at Shen He again, at first glance there seemed to be no change, but it was obvious that there was a hint of gloom in his brows.

It seems that some things will not be diluted with time, but will continue to ferment and intensify.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 177 Only One of You Can Survive

If I can't have red eyes when we meet again, can I still have a red face?

Xu Shi had always been curious about this question, so he pinched Xia Wuyou's face and asked with interest, "Why are you here?"

"I……"

Xia Wuyou looked at him strangely when he heard this.

Didn't you ask me to come?
