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

"I'll pass that on for you."

Ning Wei nodded. "But please be prepared to be rejected by Director Wen. As for the reason... I think your father should have told you?"

"…You always have to say thank you."

Xu Shi paused, then brushed off the topic, "Then I won't keep Secretary Ning, and let Su Lin see you off?"

"No need to trouble Director Su. I will take my leave now."

Ning Wei shook his head, bowed, and strode out.

To be honest, although this was the first time he met him in person, he still admired Xu Shi from the bottom of his heart.

This was completely different from what he had investigated before. In his opinion, Xu Shi was clearly a very capable and scheming person.

Not to mention that he dared to use external forces to eliminate dissidents - to be honest, this kind of operation is rare in the consortium. Most of the time, they still prefer to do things behind closed doors and don't want any similar scandals to leak out, for fear of being caught by someone.

What a pity... Thinking of the friction between the two consortiums, he sighed with regret.

Watching Ning Wei go away, Xu Shi actually felt a little regretful.

It can be seen that the person in charge of the "Feather Pen", Mr. Wen Shengkui, does not seem to like himself very much.

But this dislike was not directed at anyone personally like "Prism" Xie Qingyan. To be honest, the two had never even met each other.

But this doesn't mean that there is no relationship between them - in fact, they are even related by blood.

Because Xu Shi's mother is Wen Shengkui's only daughter.

In other words, Mr. Wen is his grandfather.

But this was not a friendly marriage like that of "Snake Ring" and "Prism". On the contrary, it was because the mother was against arranged marriages and insisted on marrying the father that a rift arose between the two families.

At the worst time, Mr. Wen even personally said that he would sever ties with his daughter, not to mention her relationship with her father.

In such a situation, one would naturally be hated by everyone...the so-called bad conduct and being a playboy would be ranked second.

So, when he first took this step, Xu Shi was actually a little worried. If "Feather Pen" had not shown up today, things would never have gone so smoothly.

Although he did have other preparations, other methods were much more troublesome than this one.

Fortunately, someone finally came and I successfully solved the problem.

That’s still okay, as for the relationship between grandfather and grandson... take your time, it’s not something that can be achieved overnight.

Su Lin standing by was obviously aware of this, and she felt uncomfortable seeing the young master frowning.

But she was more concerned about something else.

"Jiang Fengshan has been dealt with, but in this way, the relevant information will be leaked out anyway."

She had the same worry as Ning Wei, "By then, I'm afraid the reputation of the group..."

"What does it matter?"

Xu Shi didn't care. "My reputation isn't that good anyway... But it's just right. You can find someone from "Imaginary Numbers" and arrange some interviews for me."

Since Ning Wei said that he was "killing his own relatives for the greater good", he might as well use this method to silence the gossips.

There has to be something that everyone wants to see, and it can also help improve my image.

However, he was not in a hurry about these things. The most important thing was to squeeze out the only remaining and most useful value from the old man Jiang Fengshan.

-

District 14, public prison.

Jiang Fengshan sat on the bed with a dejected look on his face, completely losing his former confidence.

With the special care of the "Feather Pen", it took less than three days from prosecution to trial to imprisonment.

Defeated, completely defeated.

It’s not Lin Wenhua’s fault for not saving him. Damn it, he couldn’t save him... He couldn’t change his forty years of imprisonment. The only thing he could do was to arrange a relatively comfortable single cell for himself.

I can only blame myself for being too careless and leaving such a fatal handle.

But this is also a good signal - Lin Wenhua has not given up on himself.

As long as you save your life, there is still a chance of turning the situation around.

If he can really make a comeback... Xu Shi! And that little bitch! He will not let any of them go!

Just then, the sound of batons hitting each other was heard, "Prisoner 4396, someone wants to see you."

The door opened, and the people who came to visit were Xu Shi and Jiang Chengcheng.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

"...Why are you guys here?"

Jiang Fengshan got angry when he saw them, and there was no point in pretending at this time.

"What else? You don't think it's Lin Wenhua, do you?"

Xu Shi sneered, "He doesn't dare to come to see you recently. Instead, I am the one who is willing to come and care about you. I used to be a key figure in the group."

"Stop pretending."

Jiang Fengshan gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I really didn't realize that you hid so deeply, Xu Shi. I misjudged it."

"And you! Jiang Chengcheng! I really raised a good daughter, huh? How dare you bite me back?"

He really didn't expect that after playing with eagles all his life, he would end up getting his eyes pecked by an eagle.

The other party's academic achievements far exceeded his own, which made him and Luo Zhikang feel extremely frustrated.

"Get out, I don't want to see you!"

He roared uncontrollably, like a powerless and furious beast.

Faced with all this, Xu Shi simply raised the gun in his hand indifferently and pulled the trigger at his thigh.

“…Aaaaaaaaaaah!!! Xu Shi, you *-use civilized language-*! I *-use civilized language-*!”

Jiang Fengshan wailed in pain, lost his balance and fell to the ground, covering his thigh and cursing.

"You don't even want to call me Mr. Xu, which really makes me sad."

Xu Shi walked up to him, leaned over and grabbed his hair, forcing him to look at her, "To be honest, I wanted to give you a chance, but you didn't accept it."

"When you stood me up, I'm afraid you never thought that this would be the outcome, right?"

"Don't expect Lin Wenhua to come and save you. The only thing you should be thankful for is that he will surely die a more miserable death than you."

"So, just be a good gold coin maker, old man."

After saying that, Xu Shi stood up and handed the pistol to Jiang Chengcheng.

"Do you like the surprise I prepared, Miss Jiang?"

"Get your gun and kill him."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 42 Congratulations, your new life

!

Looking at the gun that Xu Shi forced into his hands, Jiang Chengcheng seemed a little at a loss for a moment.

There was even a hint of panic in his eyes.

Xu Shi was not surprised to see her reaction.

When he publicly attacked Jiang Fengshan before, he did not let Jiang Chengcheng confront her adoptive father in person, but asked her to watch the live broadcast in the next room.

Including the subsequent public prosecution trial, she was not allowed to appear if possible.

On the one hand, it was to take care of her feelings - making the evidence public would inevitably expose her scars, and if it were exposed to the public again... it would also be a trial for her.

Secondly, he also knew that Jiang Chengcheng's fear of Jiang Fengshan was already ingrained in her bones.

Just like Pavlov's dog, even though she knew the other person was at the end of his rope and could be slaughtered at will, when faced with all this, memories of the past would still make her subconsciously shrink back.

Just like it is now.

"You... Jiang Chengcheng, do you dare?!"

Seeing Xu Shi handing the gun to her, Jiang Fengshan suddenly panicked.

Although he had a premonition that the other party came here just to execute him, when the moment really came, he still couldn't help but feel fear.

His hoarse roar, which looked fierce but was actually weak, did frighten Jiang Chengcheng. The hand holding the gun began to tremble, and he stepped back in fear.

"I……"

"Don't be afraid."

At this moment, Xu Shi supported her from behind and whispered in her ear, "Think carefully about what he has done to you."

"With your ability, you should have become the brightest rising star in Night Sin City after leaving the academy."

“People will go crazy about your scientific achievements, and you will wear the most luxurious dress, put on the most exquisite makeup, and stand under the spotlight that represents glory.”

"The moment you show up, they all raise their glasses and cheer for you."

As he narrated slowly, Jiang Chengcheng's eyes gradually became empty, as if he was imagining such a scene, and an unconscious smile appeared on his face.

"But what is the truth?"

Just when she was experiencing the false beauty created by words, Xu Shi suddenly changed the subject and shattered it all with a casual tone.

The red light in his eyes flickered intermittently, "All your glory has been stolen by Jiang Fengshan, and you have become a pathetic tool in his hands."

"If I wasn't careful, I would be beaten and scolded. I gradually became afraid to communicate with outsiders. I wrapped myself tightly in awkward and rough clothes, and gradually sank into the dust."

"All the ambitions you once had in your heart have vanished into thin air, and you can't even find the meaning of your life anymore."

"If I hadn't discovered all this, this secret would have remained until the moment Jiang Fengshan entered the grave. Of course, by that time, you still wouldn't be able to escape. I believe he wouldn't allow anyone to know all this."

"To be honest, I feel sorry and regretful about this, but at the same time, I am also... disappointed in you."

"disappointment?"
