“Think quick. Other than offending the Nangong family, who else has our Shi family offended recently?”
“Other than the Nangong family, who else dares to challenge us like this?” Shi Gen snorted coldly. “This matter is most likely done by the Nangong family. A few days ago, Yalin sent someone to assassinate Nangong Nuannuan, but all the people we sent died. Not only were their wrists sliced off by sharp weapons, but their lives also ended in a single shot. I wonder who they hired to protect their granddaughter. The most hateful thing is that the person who killed us did not even dispose of the corpses. So many cars and corpses were left on the mountain road like that, and exposed to so many people. I had to pay a huge price to clean up the aftermath. It’s absolutely despicable!”
“What?” Shi Maowen was shocked. “Dad, how could you agree to let Yalin do such a thing? I’ve already told you, it’s not the time for us to fight the Nangong family to the death yet. You can’t force the Nangong family into a corner. Yet, you… You clearly know that Nangong Nuannuan is very important to the Nangong family, but you allowed Yalin to do such a thing anyway!”
“I was too angry, alright? Do you know how difficult it is to deal with that Nangong Nuannuan? I merely sent someone to Tianheng Holdings to mess with her—they examined her fire safety, and then, mess with Tianheng Holdings’ taxes. In the end, she sent tens of thousands of rats into Fortune Group’s headquarters. We used a whole month just to catch rats in such an impressive corporation because of her. Most of the thirty thousand rats even burrowed into the ceiling and floor crevices, with many still hiding inside. It nearly angered your eldest brother to his death. Coupled with the humiliation that Yalin and I suffered at the Chi residence previously, even I can’t take this lying down, what more Yalin.”
Shi Maowen had never wanted to lash out at Shi Gen so badly. He took a few deep breaths before huffing, “Dad, do you know how serious the blow to our Shi family is because you can’t swallow your anger? We have fewer people than the Nangong family who we can use in the military base and the executive hall already. This time, however, we lost a corps commander and two senior assistants in the executive hall. One of them even has a good relationship with Dong Zhao. This affects me too much.
“Dad, you know that I’m treading on thin ice in the bureaucracy right now. Although the president has always been amicable toward me, his attitude shows that he’s more inclined to side with the Nangong family. When he talks to Dong Zhao, he’s even more amiable to Dong Zhao than when he talks to me.
“Dad, you’ve failed once a few decades ago. Have you already forgotten that painful lesson? You had all the advantages on your side, but you lost to the Nangong family in the end. Why? That’s because you’re always grumpier than Nangong Renyi. It’s easier to make mistakes when you have the upper hand.”
After being reprimanded by his son, Old Master Shi felt a little embarrassed. He grumbled angrily, “I agreed to let Yalin send people to kill people because of you, okay? When I came back from the Chi residence previously, I told you that Chi Yang has been bewitched by that little girl from the Nangong family. The entire Chi family is on the Nangong family’s side now. If we don’t get rid of Nangong Nuannuan, Chi Yang will never stand on our side. When that time comes, you can kiss your presidential dreams goodbye!”
“Dad, do you think that without Nangong Nuannuan, Chi Yang would be on our side? Old Master Chi and Old Master Nangong are friends that have gone through life and death together. Is your relationship with the Chi family comparable to the Nangong family?”
