“…Let them in.”
Lin Yue paused, nodded, and gave the order.
In a short while, several people in black cloaks were seen being led in.
The leading man took off his hood and it was Shen He.
"Shen Shou... Shen He?"
Lin Yue's heart tightened and said.
Is it really him? Although she had expected this, Lin Yue still felt a little emotional when she saw the real person appear in front of her - of course, it was more because Xu Shi had planned everything out, and how things would turn out was exactly as he had said.
"It's me, long time no see, Lin Yue."
After not seeing him for a long time, Shen He looked much more vicissitudes of life. Although he did not look decadent, he had long lost his former youthful vigor.
Seeing Lin Yue sitting in the upper seat, he actually felt a little sad - he had always heard about her being this and that before, but he was a little bit unconvinced. After all, that did not match the Lin Yue he knew.
But now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he had to admit that after him, the new leader of District 6 had long lost his former immaturity, and was replaced by the aura of a leader.
"...Where have you been all this time? Why can't I find you?"
Lin Yue showed him a seat, but couldn't help asking a few questions.
"It's like a lingering death."
Shen He smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling a little uncomfortable for some reason.
Last time, she left the organization in anger because she couldn't stand staying in District 6.
But I didn't expect that after a few months, she became the leader here and came to him to ask for help.
"So...what do you want from me?"
Lin Yue did not ask any more questions. She didn't know what was going on, but she suddenly found that there seemed to be some unspeakable gap between her and Shen He. Not only had the admiration she once had disappeared, but even when they met again after a long separation, she felt no waves in her heart.
Even the communication was a bit awkward, as if we were strangers.
"I... came to seek your help."
Shen He also felt this subtle atmosphere and felt a little embarrassed for a moment, so he just smiled and got straight to the point.
"You know, I am what I am now entirely thanks to Xu Shi."
He continued, "Fortunately, I have finally found an opportunity... Are you still willing to be with me, Lin Yue?"
"Tell me about your plan."
Lin Yue did not agree immediately, but continued to ask.
The first generation of "Starfire" was defeated in front, and Lin Xing was captured later. She was really hesitant now, and she also vaguely knew that Xu Shi was not so easy to deal with.
But Shen He seemed very confident... That's why Xu Shi came to see him in advance, right? With that guy's character, he would not miss any details when faced with such a situation.
Besides, it must be annoying to be stared at like this all the time, right?
hiss!
She was shocked when she realized what was going on in her mind.
It would be fine if she had to bow her head because of being forced by Xu Shi, but why was she considering the issue from his perspective?
"I am not fighting alone, Lin Yue."
Shen He didn't pay much attention to her embarrassment and just continued talking.
From him, Lin Yue also learned about his plan.
There are quite a lot of people in Shen He's camp - himself, Lin Wenhua from the "Snake Ring", and Long Tianding who turned a blind eye. But what she didn't expect was that among the three leaders of the "Forgotten", one of them is actually his sister?
She knew that her former leader had a younger sister, but this was the first time she heard of who she was.
Their plan was very simple. They would take advantage of the riot to attack Xu Shi from both inside and outside, and thus launch a decapitation operation against Xu Shi... According to Shen He, the "Forgotten" entrenched outside the city, including some inside the city, were also willing to participate.
This is actually similar to the way Luo Zhikang was rescued at that time - in fact, when outnumbered, only this method of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west is the most effective.
The important thing is that Shen He’s strength is no weaker than before, and is even stronger. Logically speaking, he is more confident.
"A city-wide riot... Then what do you need me to do?"
Lin Yue couldn't help but marvel at the boldness of Shen He's plan, but at the same time she was a little disappointed.
The beginning of the rift between the two was because Shen He was committed to Zhang Shijun at that time - that was completely contrary to what she had imagined.
And now, would he go to this extent for revenge?
She knew without even thinking about it what kind of impact a city-wide riot would bring. In the past, everyone was discussing how to overthrow the rule of the consortium and allow the people of Night Crime City to live a better life... Now she couldn't hear any such meaning.
I have to say, the man in front of me has really changed a lot.
Lin Yue even found it a little hard to accept it for a moment, but after thinking about it, she actually felt a little empathy - she always felt that his mentality was damaged by Xu Shi's torture. In fact, let alone him, she was almost the same, wasn't she?
"It's easy, just join us."
Shen He looked at her and said, "More strength means more confidence. I don't trust Long Tianding, so I need your strength."
Being looked at like this by him, Lin Yue's heart was shaken for a moment.
But she quickly came to her senses and let out a long sigh.
Xu Shi said, "You know what to do," and she certainly knew that the other party did not mean for her to refuse outright.
Instead.
"...Okay, I agree."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 159 What a good dog, Miss Lin Yue
Seeing Lin Yue agree so readily, Shen He was secretly happy, but the unpleasant feeling in his heart did not completely disappear.
He was naturally happy because the other party agreed so easily, which meant that their old friendship was not completely severed.
But this kind of friendship is probably only going to stay here - let alone Lin Yue, even he himself doesn't have much of the feeling he had before in "Starfire". Lei Song and Zhang Shinian are gone, and only he and Lin Yue are left. Shen He can't let it go, and I think Lin Yue is the same.
So he didn't say anything else. He couldn't rely on her previous status as leader to ask her to hand over the Sixth District to him, right? Just thinking about it, it was unrealistic... and he was already on another track. The "Forgotten" was his new base.
"So that's it for now?"
After telling Lin Yue about the specific details of the plan, he stood up and prepared to leave. "I am very grateful that you are still standing with me. As for the rest... when things are over, we can talk slowly?"
"……OK."
Lin Yue forced a smile and sent someone to see him off, then she sat in the seat that Xu Shi had sat that day, in a daze.
When she came to her senses, she remembered that there seemed to be many things she hadn't asked Shen He - what had he been through these days? How did he come back after leaving? Including some details about his relationship with the "Forgotten"...
Did I ignore it? Or...
When she asked herself, she realized that at some point, matters concerning Shen He seemed to have become insignificant in her heart.
On the contrary, it was her sister, and the devil Xu Shi... Maybe this was why she could make the choice so easily? Even thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was a good deal to use Shen He as an exchange to ensure Lin Xing's safety.
He was the one who abandoned me first, wasn't he?
Ugh……
Thinking of this, Lin Yue no longer felt much guilty.
But then again, there are actually quite a few details in Shen He’s return to the City of Night Sin this time.
After leaving the sixth district, he led his men back to the fifth district.
There were quite a few people waiting here - Shen Qin, Lin Wenhua, and Long Tianding's subordinates also sent several envoys as representatives, as well as Shen Qin's capable men like Li Tang, who also followed him in.
"Is it settled?"
Seeing him come back, Lin Wenhua cleared his throat and asked.
"Well, Lin Yue is willing to support our actions."
Shen He nodded, and he wasn't very fond of this old guy.
The main reason was that he felt sick just hearing the word "snake ring". Even though Lin Wenhua was a traitor standing on their side, his impression of him didn't improve much.
"My brother used to have quite a great influence."
Shen Qin curled her lips, and there was a hint of jealousy in her tone.
She hates every girl who has a crush on her brother equally, no matter who you are.
"Mr. Shen is indeed a very good leader."
Li Tang smoothed things over for him, "Outside the city, there will be no problem with our people and Zhao Yuan. We will just wait for the order to launch an attack on Night Sin City."
After spending these days together, he had witnessed the ability of his elder brother, the leader - in just a few months, he had secretly integrated all the "Forgotten" outside the city, and everyone was basically following him wholeheartedly.
He did not deny that there was definitely help from those with abilities involved, but for the "Forgotten" like them, the way and method were not important, only the result was important.
The fact is that although Zhao Yuan is nominally the leader of the "Forgotten" outside the city, he is actually in a semi-empty state... There is no rush to take him down now because there is no need, but once it is done, he will almost be out of office.
It’s scary to think about it, but luckily he is a fan of the Shen brothers and sisters, so he doesn’t have any psychological burden.
"Don't worry about weapons or anything."
The person sent by Long Tianding continued, "The additional batch ordered by City Lord Long is already on the way. It will be shipped directly to District 5. You can distribute it among yourselves."
However, he also gave a warning in advance, "But other than that, City Lord Long will not help you with anything else. If you fail, please abide by the agreement and don't link the matter to him."
"... Lord Long can help us so much, we are already very grateful."
Shen He nodded to show his understanding, but in fact he also knew that if they really failed, no matter how much they tried to complain, Long Tianding would probably just sit there and watch... Just by providing the base in District 5 and these weapons, they wanted to drag him into the water? He could get himself clean with just one sentence of negligence.
As for the envoy's pessimistic words...to be honest, they were certainly not 100% sure.
It can only be said that the people present are a league of losers. Who hasn't suffered at the hands of Xu Shi? He was the first to bear the brunt of it. If he said that he was full of confidence, he would be deceiving himself.
But having concerns is not a reason not to do it, otherwise they will be like a frog in boiling water and will not have a good ending. They can only try their best.
"In that case, I wish you all success."
Having said that, the messenger didn't know what to say anymore. After giving a few instructions, he left.
