Chapter 759 Entrusted with important tasks
S country.
The conference room, which had been filled with laughter and success just minutes ago, was now filled with only roars and curses. The floor was a mess, and shattered glass reflected faces twisted in shock and anger.
"okay."
The old man sitting in the center of the conference room tapped the table lightly, and everyone immediately fell silent. The atmosphere was so quiet that it was a little weird.
The old man, leaning on a Qilin-shaped cane, slowly stood up from his chair. The young man beside him immediately stepped forward to support him. The old man waved his hand and turned to look at everyone.
"Yu Siwen's move is a failure. Instead of wasting time here chatting, why don't you go back and see if you can clear yourself of any connection!"
Everyone looked at each other, put their hands together and bowed, then left one after another.
In the blink of an eye, most of the people in the seats had left.
The old man glanced around and walked out of the conference room with his cane. The others didn't dare to ask any more questions and stood up and followed him out.
Shen Nian glanced at Shen Guiling sideways and moved his neck, "Let's go."
Shen Guiling cooperated and stood up to follow the crowd.
There are both men and women in this group. The youngest looks to be in his forties, and there is also an old acquaintance among them.
Shen Che saw Shen Guiling the moment he entered the conference room, and his eyes were so shocked that they almost popped out of his head.
The old man walked straight to the main seat in the main hall, supporting himself with his cane, and said, "Sit down."
This person was none other than Li Ru, the head of the Li family. Li Ru was over seventy years old, two years older than Shen Zhuang. According to the customs of Country A, he was considered Shen Zhuang's brother-in-law.
Everyone found their seats and sat down with their heads down.
Li Ru's expression was indifferent. "Originally, we dragged Shen Qian into this to make way for Yu Siwen, but judging by the current situation, Yu Siwen can no longer be saved. I didn't expect that after all the calculations, the Guan family would benefit in the end. What do you think about this?"
"Grandpa, I see..."
The young man next to Li Ru just started to speak when the old man interrupted him calmly, "I'm not asking you, I'm asking everyone in the Shen family."
The expressions of those named changed slightly. They looked at each other, and one of the middle-aged men spoke first, "We just received news from Yunxiang that someone from above is investigating, and then Yu Siwen got into trouble. This matter is definitely not that simple."
Seeing Li Ru calmly closing his eyes to rest, the man continued, "The only ones who could stir up such a big disturbance in Country A are none other than those few. The Su family always likes to stay out of it. We are wary of the Zhou and Guan families. Now the only one left is the Shen family."
"That's right!" The others echoed. "Besides Shen Zhuang, who else in Country A has the guts to launch a surprise attack right under the noses of the President's guards? This must be Shen Zhuang behind this."
These angry people are all members of the Shen family. They were driven out of Country A by Shen Zhuang decades ago. They had no home to return to, so they gathered together in secret and attached themselves to the Li family.
Shen Guiling looked at the ferocious faces in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but darken.
Li Ru was clearly deliberately pointing the finger at the old man. If it was really the old man, if he found the hidden clues of Yu Siwen's crime, he would most likely follow the clues and wipe out everyone in the Shen family. Given the gambling nature of these people, they would never allow such a dangerous thing to happen.
As expected, just as the thought occurred to him, Li Ru slowly raised his eyes, looking worried. "If it's really Shen Zhuang, I'm afraid we're in trouble. Yu Sheng mentioned foreign forces in the live broadcast. If Shen Zhuang really finds us, I'm afraid the conflict between the two countries will erupt. If that happens, even I won't be able to cover it up. As for you! Each and every one of you will be accused of treason. Forget about wanting to return to your roots in this life. Even staying in Country S won't be possible."
His words were like a drop of cold water dropped into boiling oil, which instantly caused the oil to explode. The faces of those members of the Shen family instantly sank to the bottom, with fear and anger intertwined in their eyes.
"It's all because of Shen Zhuang! If he hadn't cruelly expelled us from the country, we wouldn't be in this situation!"
"He has long since lost sight of us, his clansmen, and now he wants to kill us all!"
"We can't just sit there and wait for death! We have to strike first!"
Amidst the indignation, a sinister-looking middle-aged man slammed his hand on the table, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. "Since he's unkind, don't blame us for being unjust! In that case... we must advance our plans and make him disappear completely!"
Plan ahead?
Shen Guiling looked at the man who was speaking calmly. These people had been overwhelmed by the resentment of long-term exile and the fear of the future. They were completely pawns of the Li family, but they were once the old man's closest relatives. If they really killed them, it would be hard to defend against them.
"Calm down." Li Ru paused for a moment, holding the Qilin cane in his hand, and sighed deeply. "Everyone, calm down! Assassinating a powerful figure in a country is no joke. This plan is too dangerous. If it is exposed, there will be no way back. After all, Shenzhuang was once connected to you by blood. Why would it have come to this? Perhaps... perhaps there is still room for recovery."
His words seemed to be a dissuasion, but in fact, every word he said was hinting to everyone that Shen Zhuang could not stay.
"Mr. Li, you are too kind! Has Mr. Shen ever mentioned blood ties to us?"
"If he doesn't die, we will die! We have no way out!"
"That's right! He must die!"
Li Ru was silent for a moment, his eyes slowly sweeping over every face present that was distorted by hatred and fear. Finally, he seemed extremely helpless and forced to make a difficult decision, and closed his eyes heavily.
Just as Shen Guiling was waiting to see what tricks he was going to play, Li Ru suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the corner.
"In that case, Aling, I'll leave this matter to you."
Shen Guiling, "..."
