Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

Shen Zhixiao took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and looked up at Lin Shi, asking calmly:

"What do you plan to do with these people?"

The moment the words left his mouth, all the female bodyguards in the room simultaneously drew their weapons, their eyes fixed menacingly on the Lin family members. It was as if, at Lin Shi's command, blood would splatter across the entire scene.

Seeing their display of force, Lin Shi quickly waved his hand in refusal:

"It's alright, it's alright, let them continue working for the Lin family. Besides, what does Lin's father's suicide have to do with me?"

Upon hearing Lin Shi's words, Lin Tingquan immediately stood up from his father.

She even gently moved her father's sleeping position slightly with her foot because his sleeping position was blocking her space.

"That's right, I saw it clearly, my father committed suicide."

"Yes, I saw it clearly too, it was suicide!"

Lin Qingyao and Lin Wanrou also spoke at the same time, explaining the situation to everyone.

In the crowd, a nanny caught sight of Lin's mother's angry yet hesitant expression. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to speak:

"Yes, there is the word 'kill' in it, but..."

Before she could finish speaking, the bodyguard behind her swiftly stepped forward, covered her mouth, and dragged her behind him.

Lin Shi felt a pang in his heart as he read this, once again shocked by the world of the novel:

Are you out of your mind? With things like this, why are you still jumping out?

Lin's father, all three children say he committed suicide, what makes you think you can come out and prove anything?

Shen Zhixiao looked at Lin Shi with a faint smile, the meaning in his eyes self-evident:

"Now, how do you say it?"

Lin Shi sighed and waved his hand:

"It's up to you now, you do it, I don't care anymore."

Shen Zhixiao's smile deepened, and he slightly raised his chin.

The bodyguards immediately moved in and brought all the Lin family members into the house.

She was not a bloodthirsty person, and besides, Lin Shi's relationship with the younger generation of the Lin family was relatively peaceful. As long as these people could keep their mouths shut and remain calm, there was no need to kill them all.

If the Lin family holds a press conference tomorrow and Lin Tingquan goes on stage to explain things clearly in public, this matter will be definitively settled and can never be overturned.

With the storm temporarily subsided, Shen Zhixiao looked at Lin Shi beside him, and then glanced at Ye Cheng and Su Xin standing at the door.

Since they were originally Lin Shi's people, they were not taken into the room, but remained at the villa entrance.

Shen Zhixiao spoke up:

"Lin Shi, want to chat for a bit?"

"I will send someone to take them back."

Lin Shi listened to Shen Zhixiao's voice, glanced at Ye Cheng and the other person, and nodded.

No matter what, Shen Zhixiao was his first boss, someone who taught him a lot, and had just helped him so much.

It would be really bad to reject this proposal.

Seeing this, Shen Zhixiao turned around and walked towards the sidewalk outside the villa, while signaling Lin Shi to follow.

Lin Shi quickly ran up to her and followed her.

The two walked side by side, their shadows merging together under the streetlights.

"Lin Shi".

Shen Zhixiao spoke first, and compared to before, he seemed less aloof.

How have you been lately?

Upon hearing this, a recent scene flashed through Lin Shi's mind:

Racing cars with Xia Ye, competing with Ye Cheng, the Su family's treacherous banquet, and going to school to see the young master confess his love.

My desire to share made me want him to explain everything in detail, but my intuition told me otherwise:

"Don't meddle. His boss is just asking politely. If you start talking about it, he won't want to listen."

In summary:

"Not bad, life is quite interesting."

"Is it interesting?"

Shen Zhixiao continued walking forward, but his pace slowed slightly, as if he were deep in thought. His voice drifted out softly:

"I've been having a bit of a tiring time lately."

"The company is currently undergoing a transformation, and there's just too much to do. Apart from necessary rest time, I have no other time to myself."

As she spoke, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lin Shi, a hint of expectation in her eyes:

"Can you come back and help me?"

Lin Shi stopped when he heard Shen Zhixiao's voice and turned to look at her.

He still had that extremely noble face, always exuding an aura of superiority, but a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.

Suddenly I felt a little sorry for Shen Zhixiao.

From a certain perspective, he could be said to be truly alone, with no family or many friends around him.

Lin Shi was lost in thought when a voice suddenly rang out.

"Brother Lin!"

(Don't curse, don't curse. If Shen Zhixiao gets the first piece of the pie, the others are really out of luck. They'll just have to play it safe. [kowtows])

Following the sound, they saw Ye Cheng "sitting" in the car, leaning out and waving to Lin Shi in greeting.

"Our men are taking us back. See you tomorrow!"

Lin Shi's eyes narrowed, but he didn't make any big movements. He simply nodded in response to Ye Cheng, then turned his gaze back to Shen Zhixiao, speaking in a deliberately lighthearted tone:

"What's this talk about going back or not? I'm working under President Shen now, aren't I?"

"Yorozuya, dedicated to serving you!"

Shen Zhixiao paused for a moment upon hearing Lin Shi's words, took a deep breath, and nodded.

"That's true. Remember not to refuse any requests you make in the future."

After saying that, she waved to Lin Shi:

"You go back first, I'll continue walking."

Lin Shi watched Shen Zhixiao's somewhat sad expression without moving, a hint of worry showing in his eyes.

Shen Zhixiao smiled gently as he watched his actions.

"It's really nothing." Then he turned to the group of bodyguards and called out, "Thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhixiao's psychologist quickly darted out from the crowd and ran to the two of them.

Because of Shen Zhixiao's high-value compensation, she almost became his personal assistant.

Shen Zhixiao looked at Xing Li and said to Lin Shi:

"Next up is a conversation between two girls. Lin Shi, you don't want to hear it, do you?"

Lin Shi shook his head, glanced at the two of them again, and walked towards the Lin family home.

As soon as Lin Shi left, the gentleness on Shen Zhixiao's face vanished instantly, and he switched back to his domineering CEO mode. He continued walking forward and asked in a cold tone:

"What preparations have the strategy team made?"

"It's almost done."

"Three senior human psychologists, two child psychoanalysts, plus two behavior pattern analysts and one emotional strategy consultant."

"The analysis of Mr. Lin will officially begin tomorrow."

Shen Zhixiao listened, nodded, and didn't say anything more. Then he stood by the roadside and waved.

The driver immediately drove the Rolls-Royce to their side.

Shen Zhixiao got into the car and headed home.

Xing Li watched as Shen Zhixiao was about to leave, and after thinking for a moment, she spoke up:

"Mr. Shen, your fetish..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Zhixiao shot him a cold, piercing gaze.

Xing Li felt a chill in her heart and quickly changed her words:

"Excellent! This treatment method is outstanding! Please continue!"
