Shu Yunpeng dragged his tired body open the door, walked to the middle of the living room with his eyes downcast, relying on his memory, closed his eyes and sat directly on the sofa, and then took a deep breath.
In the past few days, he has been busy working on Ma En and Xiaoyao's affairs. To say that he is the leader of the younger generation of the Shu family is better to say that he is the most capable coolie of the Shu family. Those old immortals always give him the hardest work. Come and do it.
In the past, he could paralyze himself with the excuse that he would be successful in a few years, but now those old guys don't know how long they can live after receiving longevity pills. Maybe they will still be energetic when they are about to die.
This also made him feel more depressed these days. When he saw Ma En taking out the longevity pill, he almost pointed at Ma En's nose and cursed him, but he was immediately distracted by the affairs of his daughter and family. attention.
But after the incident passed, his mood became heavier. In this situation where he could not see any hope, he could not suppress his anxiety and boredom at all, and could only temporarily numb himself with tiring work.
But when he sat down, he immediately thought that he was doing nothing for Ma En and the three old immortals in the family, personally delaying the time for him to become the head of the Shu family, which made him very angry. Come.
"call……"
Shu Yunpeng exhaled the air from his lungs heavily, but suppressed these messy thoughts in his heart. Living in a family of politicians, he had no other choice but to accept this result.
Moreover, the reason why he is so resistant to longevity pills is because he is not old yet. If he were to be replaced by those who are old and immortal, he would definitely make the same choice. In the final analysis, the problem is that he is not the one who benefits.
These thoughts will only affect his judgment, and he can only handle this matter perfectly. After all, his father and the others will definitely be able to get the longevity pill. Now he can only hope that he can also get the pill.
These three pills definitely don't belong to him, neither in terms of status nor age.
But what happens in the future may not be his. After all, their cooperative relationship with Ma En does not end here after doing this. Now his daughter has a particularly good relationship with him.
It might even be so good that it was not in the interests of the family, but he didn't particularly care.
First is the individual, then the family, and finally the entire family. It is not a bad thing for them if their daughter can benefit, and it doesn't matter even if there is no benefit to him and his wife.
After all, she is her own daughter.
He is not as cold-blooded as his father. When Tang Xueluan wanted to leave the family, it was he and his wife who stopped the family's pressure. After all, he was not like his father.
Maybe it was because of the kind of guy his father was that he didn't want to be the same person as him.
Thinking of this, he felt a little better. Regardless of whether it was self-comfort or not, he calmed down. He could at least tell himself from the bottom of his heart that the person who benefited the most from this matter was probably his daughter.
After meeting Ma En, he also completely changed his view of him, dispelling his doubts about Ma En, and firmly felt that he would be a great success in the Federation, and Xiaoluan would definitely be able to rise with such a person. , and her relationship with Ma En seems to be really good.
He could detect something unusual in the way his daughter looked at Ma En.
In this way, she might be able to get longevity pills for them soon, and then she might be able to get other benefits in exchange for Ma En's extremely special identity and status, and there might even be other changes in the future.
And in the worst case, Tang Xueluan can definitely get himself a longevity pill. If that doesn't work, he can still forcefully kill all those guys. Don't they want to die? Let's see who lives longer. Long.
But just when he comforted himself and wanted to just rest, he heard a particularly harsh sound.
His cell phone rang.
Shu Yunpeng took out his cell phone with a bit of impatience, but after just a few glances, he showed a serious expression. The family actually wanted to hold an emergency meeting at this time. Is there some new change in Xiaoyao and Ma En's affairs?
Without saying anything else, he immediately stood up and walked into the study, closed the doors and windows tightly, sat upright on the chair, and pressed a special panel on the wall.
The whole study suddenly went dark for a moment, and then lit up again.
And five other members of the family appeared in front of him.
The person sitting in the first place is naturally his father, who is colder than a lizard, and on his left and right are the other two elders of the family who are already old, and then there is his position.
His two brothers are sitting behind him, which also vaguely reflects the current structure of the family.
Shu Shengyuan looked around at the six congressmen present, and then spoke slowly and seriously:
"Wait here for a moment. We need to spend more time this time to check the situation."
This sentence has set the tone for the entire meeting. It is obvious that he is not holding the meeting for trivial matters, and it may be more serious than he initially expected.
After they were silent for more than ten minutes, Shu Shengyuan spoke again:
"Okay, let me tell you about our meeting.
"This matter is related to longevity pills, and the information must not be leaked outside the meeting. I know that some of you have not kept your mouth shut to your confidants, but the seriousness of this matter does not allow you to make any mistakes.
"Understand?"
Several other people nodded seriously.
After making sure that none of them ignored these words, Shu Shengyuan continued:
"I got a very important piece of news. Although it sounds extremely exaggerated, I have repeatedly confirmed that the news is indeed true, and we also have very important evidence."
"That means that Marne has broken the truce agreement with the Federation and lost the protection of the Federation."
Silence instantly enveloped the conference room. The other five members looked at each other a few times. They could see the emotions pouring out of each other's eyes, such as surprise, confusion, curiosity...
and greed.
The elderly woman sitting on the left side of Shu Shengyuan asked:
"Are you sure? Who gave you this news."
Shu Shengyuan said:
“I don’t know, the person who handed the thing to me left no traces, and the method was quite sophisticated, but I think it was probably given to us by enemies of Marn, or someone with ulterior motives.
"No matter what, this thing is in our hands."
Shu Yunpeng also asked curiously:
"How did he violate the Federation's contract?"
Shu Shengyuan paused and then said:
"That's not important at all. What we have to consider now is how to deal with this news."
This answer made Shu Yunpeng a little confused, but he didn't think about it further.
Half a minute later, a congressman of the same generation as Shu Yunpeng said:
"I think this is our weapon, which can be used to get Ma En to hand over many things, and it is also our confidence to overturn the table in this transaction. Now we can completely suppress Ma En's conditions."
Shu Yunpeng immediately raised objections:
“But if we want to do this, it means telling Ma En that we have this information, and this kind of thing cannot be said easily, it must be said at the best time.
"We can't let him know what we've got unless we're going to nail it down."
Shu Shengyuan nodded:
"Yes, I think so too. This information can indeed bring a lot of benefits and help us deal with and control Ma En at the critical moment, but I feel that it is far from the critical moment yet.
"My opinion is that before completing this transaction with Ma En, Ma En must not be aware of any abnormalities. I even doubt who wants to use this to influence this transaction. Variables are risks for us.
"We cannot accept any risk."
After he said this, the two elderly congressmen beside him nodded in agreement, their movements skillful as if they had rehearsed dozens of times. It was obvious that they had secretly finalized the result.
The other two congressmen seemed to have some objections, but Shu Shengyuan immediately said:
"This matter is very bizarre. Although the benefits are obvious to us, it may also bring new variables to our current cooperation with Max, so now is not the best time.
"But I don't think this thing will be blocked in our hands. Ma En and Xiaoyao have extremely high value waiting for us to slowly extract it. I think this is an opportunity that cannot be missed for the Shu family.
"As long as we use it well, we can control Ma En and use him to get countless benefits from Xiaoyao.
"But before that, you all have to keep this secret,"
This incident is overall a good thing for the Shu family, but Shu Yunpeng is actually not that happy, because after this incident happens, his daughter's usefulness to the family will be reduced a lot.
But for their family, this matter still has more advantages than disadvantages.
Just as he was thinking about the pros and cons, Shu Shengyuan gave a few more words to the others, then slowly turned his attention to him, and said:
"Others can leave, but Yunpeng, you wait here for me."
Shu Yunpeng glanced at his father in surprise, but didn't say anything. He just sat there and watched the figures of the other people slowly dimming, and then Shu Shengyuan's expression became a little strange.
It's a bit like grief, a bit like sympathy, and a bit hypocritical.
"Yunpeng." Shu Shengyuan continued, "Didn't you just ask me what Ma En did?"
Shu Yunpeng looked at him with some confusion:
"Yes, but you didn't say it just now."
Shu Shengyuan nodded:
"It was not convenient to say it just now, but I think I can tell you now.
"But you have to be mentally prepared."
Shu Yunpeng had an ominous premonition when he heard these words, and then he nodded:
"Of course, you tell me."
Shu Shengyuan said word by word:
"He killed Shu Yun."
Shu Yunpeng was stunned.
It took him about half a minute to slowly realize what his father meant, and then intense anger immediately took over his entire face, and slowly turned into deep hatred in the silence.
"I want to see the evidence." Shu Yunpeng said in a hoarse voice.
Shu Shengyuan shook his head slightly:
"I knew it would be like this, so I don't even want to tell you how old you are. Why do you still lose control of your emotions so easily when things happen to you? I..."
Shu Yunpeng interrupted:
"I want to see the evidence, see it with my own eyes."
Shu Shengyuan sighed. In fact, when he first learned the news, he had no intention of telling his stupid son about it, but he soon realized that it could not be hidden.
If he didn't tell Shu Yunpeng about this, the mastermind behind the scenes would have a high chance of secretly handing the thing to his useless son, and then it would be too late for him to stop it.
"I'll show you." Shu Shengyuan emphasized his tone and scolded with a bit of anger, "What have you learned over the years? Why can't you keep calm when something happens? I know you very angry……
"But now is not the time for your revenge."
Shu Yunpeng looked at his father with cold eyes. He thought he was already familiar with this man, but when he said these words, Shu Yunpeng felt that he still underestimated his father.
Even if it was himself or his wife who died, this man would not have any emotional fluctuations at all.
"He killed my daughter." Shu Yunpeng said through gritted teeth, "You want me to calm down? Now he is next to my other daughter. You want me to slowly listen to the nonsense you said."
"Hmph!" Shu Shengyuan snorted with anger, making Shu Yunpeng's voice stiffen. "Is it possible that you want to make us miss the opportunity to extend our lives because of this? Your daughter's life is life, but your father's is not. ?
"And this is a rare opportunity for the Shu family. He killed your daughter. You can let him pay for it slowly. We can also use this as a reason to blackmail and manipulate him. Isn't it too easy for him to let him die like this?
"The Shu family has made a decision. Do you want to disobey the entire family?"
Shu Yunpeng still gritted his teeth and said:
"I must kill him, but he killed Shu Yun..."
"Shut up!" the old man suddenly roared, staring at him with stern eyes.
Although he was already decades old, Shu Yunpeng's whole body went cold instinctively when he heard the roar. Then he calmed down completely as if he had been poured cold blood on him, and stood stiffly motionless.
The old man's tone became a little softer:
"I know you want revenge, but now is not the time. We will kill him sooner or later, and I promise to let you achieve real revenge by then, and perform the cruelest torture on him, making him cry for Confession for your daughter's death.
"But we must get the Longevity Pill and successfully complete the deal with him and Xiaoyao. Revenge against him will happen after that. If you insist on having your own way, we won't just watch.
“We can get you to where you are and we can get you down.
"Do you understand it?"
Shu Yunpeng lowered his head and said in an almost inaudible hoarse voice:
"Understood."
