basement.
Shu Yunpeng took a deep breath from the cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke from his lungs, stared blankly at the half-glass of whiskey on the table, and finally used his will to force out the cigarette in his hand.
He is waiting.
He has already arranged the next steps, how to get his daughter and wife out of here, how to deal with his father's upcoming questioning, and then trying hard to keep his position.
Although it was difficult to escape unscathed, Shu Yunpeng decided to stay here to face other family members. In any case, he was one of the six members of the Shu family and would not be dealt with at will.
As long as he handles it well, his end may not be tragic, and after all, these benefits are brought to the Shu family by his daughter. Without him, they would not even get half a longevity pill.
…
No matter how he comforted himself, he couldn't dispel the haze in his heart. Even if Shu Yunpeng never faced it again, he still vaguely realized that his ending would not be much better, and he even felt a little regret in his heart.
Is it really worth it? No matter what she did, Shu Yun couldn't come back to life.
He closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, and immediately got the answer in his heart.
Ding.
With a crisp sound, the holographic projection system in the basement came into operation, and the young man who had signed a contract with him not long ago also appeared again. Shu Yunpeng also raised his head and looked at him.
He could already predict what he would hear.
But the other party's expression was very bad, and it was beyond his expectations.
"Sorry." The young man said apologetically, "We have completed the fatal pursuit process as you requested, but unfortunately according to the feedback from our staff...
"He only had time to inflict minor injuries on Marne."
Shu Yunpeng's eyes widened and he looked at the other party in shock:
"What are you talking about? I have invested almost everything in myself. Are you sure you are not joking?"
The young man shook his head slightly:
"I understand your feelings very well, but we really failed to kill Ma En."
Shu Yunpeng said angrily:
"You took my money and told me he was still alive. This is a fraud! You definitely didn't..."
The young man watched with sympathy as he vented his anger and then said:
"Originally, the effect of this series of agreements is limited. If you want to kill a Level V ability user, you should go to my superiors for detailed discussions."
Shu Yunpeng was stunned:
"Level V."
The young man nodded slightly:
"I'm sorry, but this is information provided by our staff. If you need it, you can contact your superiors through me at any time. However, such cooperation may take a long time to discuss."
And they all knew that Shu Yunpeng would never be able to pay this money.
Shu Yunpeng could even see some pity in the young man's eyes, because in his opinion, Shu Yunpeng, who had offended a V-level ability user, might not have a few days left to live.
"Get out!" He suddenly grabbed the glass in front of him and threw it towards the holographic device in front of him.
The projection of the young man who kept a polite smile flickered a few times, and then the room fell into darkness again.
He sat back down heavily, then groped with his hands several times before he found the cigarette case in a hurry, and then immediately lit a cigarette.
It's over, this was the only thought in his mind.
He smiled bitterly, and then he collapsed on the sofa as if his whole body had collapsed. He looked at the smashed projection device in front of him with blurred eyes, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
It wasn't until the cigarette butt almost burned his beard that a new thought came to his mind.
It's time to run for your life.
But he immediately put an end to this new idea. He didn't think he could escape anywhere, and as a middle-aged man with a wife and daughter, it was difficult for him to hide with them for a long time.
Then, it seemed that it was time for him to die.
This was also the reason why he didn't tell Xiaoluan and Jinghong about it. If something really happened, he could die alone to appease Ma En's anger, while Xiaoluan and Jinghong should still survive.
Ma En is a good person and will not anger his family members casually. Moreover, he has a very good relationship with Xiao Luan, and it is impossible to kill her and Jing Hong. As long as he dies, the matter will basically end smoothly.
Moreover, the Shu family will also mediate in it. They will be happy to hand over themselves and tell Xiaoluan and Jinghong a seemingly reasonable excuse, so that Ma En has no reason to kill them.
Thinking of this, he slowly calmed down and threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray.
After accepting the outcome of his own death, many new thoughts came to Shu Yunpeng's mind. He indeed had to die, but his daughter's affairs were about to end.
Could it be that all his revenge during this period was seeking his own death, and that the devil would never be judged?
No, it definitely can't end like this.
Maybe I couldn't kill him, or even hurt half of his hair, but I didn't have any way to hurt Ma En. In fact, the weapon that could really stab him was always in my hand.
That is the secret that Marne violated the armistice contract, and now he has one more...
Ma En is a level V ability user.
This news actually means a lot of things. Ma En has concealed his true strength from the federation, and it is even possible that he was a level V ability user when he rescued Qin Lan.
He is a Level V ability user sent by Shenxiao, yes, and this means that they may have made some mistakes in their judgment of Shenxiao, and Ma En is probably her back-up man.
If he is lucky, he is likely to be Shenxiao's most important back-up man, and it seems that his joining the Federation has a completely different explanation, and some of his strangeness can be better understood.
He did not compromise with the Federation at all. The armistice agreement was a bargaining chip that he and Shenxiao handed over together, in order to allow this dangerous Level V ability user to sneak into the Federation.
Ma En is an undercover agent, and Shu Yunpeng can tell his purpose without even thinking about it - of course he does this for Shenxiao Walker, and most likely to save Shenxiao.
Unexpectedly, he just wanted to avenge his daughter and found such a big fish.
And since Ma En is no longer a person with abnormal abilities that the Federation wants to win over, but a poisonous snake with terrifying and destructive power that has infiltrated the Federation, then finding him can be regarded as a meritorious service.
It is even possible that the federation will provide itself with strong enough protection measures, so that not only will its family be able to live safely, but even I will not have to die, and the murderer will also be given the punishment he deserves.
He was as fragile as an insect in front of Ma En, but the same was true in front of the Federation.
Even if the Federation couldn't kill him, it could at least prevent him from achieving what he wanted.
Shu Yunpeng smiled. This was no longer a matter of life and death for him. If this matter was handled smoothly enough, he might become the real controller of the Shu family in a few months.
He paused when he thought of this, and then temporarily gave up his greedy thoughts.
This matter is not something he can solve alone. Now that Ma En has noticed something strange, he doesn't know how long it will take before he will find out that the person who sent the company is him, and if he wants to spread the news, he has to go through layers of investigations.
The person who really has the connections in the family is Shu Shengyuan, his father who died long ago.
Only by relying on him can he get all these things done in a short time, and he really needs the power and intelligence network of the entire Shu family. He is not qualified to enjoy this credit alone.
After understanding this, he suppressed his dream of making a contribution, picked up his mobile phone, and prepared to inform other members of the family of this big news, and let them spread it quickly within the federation, and send out Level V abilities. to ensure their own personal safety.
But as soon as he pressed two numbers, the basement door was pushed open.
Shu Yunpeng looked at the stairs in surprise. Logically speaking, no one could get in here.
But when he saw the face of the intruder, he understood why the other party was able to forcefully open the door, because the one who was walking down the stairs was Shu Shengyuan, the real controller of the family.
Of course he can open this door, everything is firmly in his palm.
Shu Yunpeng had already thought about why his father came here. If he didn't find anything, he should beg for forgiveness in front of this old man now, but the situation is different now.
"I know why you are here." Shu Yunpeng looked at his father walking towards him and said, "But listen to me first, I have discovered Ma En's important secret..."
Snapped!
The old man who walked up to his son gave him a loud slap in the face. Shu Yunpeng didn't even realize that his father was slapping him, which made him fall into deep confusion and confusion.
Because slapping his father was not something he would do, Shu Shengyuan would only order someone to be dealt with secretly, and would never hit someone with his own hands even if he faced the guy he hated the most.
"You disappoint me so much." Shu Shengyuan said in a gloomy tone, "Why, after giving you some power, you feel that your wings have become stronger and you can spare me to do things. Who do you think you are?
"If you didn't have my blood in your body, do you think you would be where you are today?"
Shu Yunpeng looked at his father coldly and said:
"I'm so glad that it's not your blood that's bleeding on me.
"I will not remain indifferent to the enemy who killed my child."
Snapped.
Shu Shengyuan raised his hand to fan Shu Yunpeng again, but this time he also raised his hand to stop it, and cast an extremely cold look at his father:
"Don't expect me to be you. No matter what I become, I will never be a devil like you."
Shu Shengyuan looked at him with eyes full of disappointment and contempt:
"Really, is this the reason why you betrayed the interests of the family? It's just that one daughter died. You can have as many more as you want, but you only have one father.
"Do you think your dead daughter's hatred is more important than your still alive father's future lifespan?"
After hearing this, Shu Yunpeng no longer cared about telling Ma En's secret. He gritted his teeth and stared at Shu Shengyuan, looking like he wanted to chew this old thing up and swallow it.
"I know you will not give me a chance to take revenge." Shu Yunpeng lowered his voice and said angrily, "You will never be satisfied with a few longevity pills, and you will never destroy your cooperation with Ma En for Shu Yun.
"You're going to squeeze as much value out of him as possible."
Shu Shengyuan shook his head slightly:
"We have made an agreement with Ma En to be honest."
Shu Yunpeng laughed angrily at this sentence, but just when he was about to do something, Shu Shengyuan took the lead and turned around in the direction he came from, then bent down deeply and spoke in a low voice. said:
"I'm sorry. It's because of my inability to educate my son and my old age that I have caused you so much trouble. Our Shu family will do our best to make up for your losses. Quanzi and I are here to apologize to you now.
"If you want to kill or punish, please feel free to do so."
At this point, Shu Shengyuan knelt down directly in that direction and kowtowed heavily.
Shu Yunpeng was stunned. He had never seen his father be so groveling in his life.
The sound that came next made him freeze on the spot.
"It's okay." Ma En slowly walked out of the shadows and helped the old man with a smile, "Strong cooperation will always encounter small twists and turns, and this is beyond your control.
"You've all apologized, so I'll take back the two longevity pills as compensation."
Shu Shengyuan's body trembled slightly at this time, but he didn't say anything.
Ma En knew very well that besides fear, what really made the old man kneel was greed.
But he just smiled and said:
"But for the sake of our future cooperation, I will give two longevity pills to the Shu family myself.
"Of course, remember to tell me in time next time something like this happens. Look, you didn't tell me that you got the news this time, and that's why it turned out like this."
As he spoke, Ma En reached out and patted the dust on the old man's body.
Shu Yunpeng stared blankly at Ma En, who was supporting his father, and then he realized belatedly that his father had deliberately angered him because he didn't want him to tell "Ma En's secret."
Those things just now were also shown to the terrifying man in front of me.
Shu Shengyuan looked like he had just reached middle age. He stood humbly behind Ma En, staring at him sternly, like a father scolding his children.
But it's also more like a wild dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.
Ma En also smiled at Shu Yunpeng:
"You actually have no problem thinking about it. If you had changed your opponent, you might have succeeded.
"But unfortunately, I will not leave this opportunity to my opponent."
Ma En was referring to the thoughts in Shu Yunpeng's mind just now.
These words made Shu Yunpeng feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Only then did he realize how ridiculous he had just been. He was still thinking about how to use the Federation to deal with him, but he completely forgot how terrifying Ma En was.
Yes, they found the treasure, but they didn't realize that the dragon was sleeping under the golden mountain.
His rash actions dragged the entire family into the abyss.
Now, the dragon is targeting them.
Shu Yunpeng smiled sadly, trying to muster up the courage to face death, but he heard his own voice trembling:
"Let's do it."
Ma En asked doubtfully:
"What action?"
Shu Yunpeng closed his eyes, not daring to look directly at the figure who was so tall compared to his father:
"Just kill me."
"Is this what you mean?" Ma En explained in a gentle voice, "You may have misunderstood. I don't kill my partners casually. Of course, I certainly won't let you leave like this.
"I will erase the most important secrets in your hearts, but you will still remember what happened today, but you won't know exactly what the thing you learned was. After all, I think you definitely don't want to have it in your hands. My handle, if that's the case..."
Shu Yunpeng knew the answer - then Ma En could only kill those who knew about it and silence them.
Now that his enemy was standing in front of him, Shu Yunpeng no longer had any thoughts of revenge. He was still replaying his father's attempt to please him in his mind, and then he understood...
I will never have the courage to resist Ma En in this life.
Looking at his gloomy eyes, Ma En smiled and stretched out his hand:
"Wish us happy cooperation."
