Chapter 1493: Disappointed
“Fortunately, Nangong Nuannuan hasn’t told the Nangong family about this. This also gives us some leeway so that the Nangong family won’t have a fallout with us starting now. ”
Hearing that, Old Master Shi snorted. “Hmph, at least she knows what’s good for her. Even so, Yalin merely sent killers after her. Since she has experts protecting her, she should be content when she killed everyone we sent. Yet, she went so far as to destroy five people from the Shi family. This is simply…”
“Dad! You should be glad that she only dealt with five people from the Shi family when she can do so much more. The Shi family has deep roots, and who wouldn’t have something against us? If she had chosen to destroy Brother-in-law today and removed him from his position as the Commander-in-chief of the military base’s south-eastern division, what should we do?”
Old Master Shi immediately fell silent.
“So listen to me and stop pursuing this matter. Regarding Nangong Nuannuan, if possible, I hope you can let Yalin step forward and sincerely apologize to her, with compensation.”
“It’s not like you don’t know Yalin’s personality. She mightn’t be able to apologize to Nangong Nuannuan. Also, although the assassins that Yalin sent out this time were not of a high rank, they were all chosen from among suicidal warriors. They were absolutely loyal to the Shi family. Even if Nangong Nuannuan were to suspect the Shi family, she’d have no evidence to prove that the Shi family is behind this. So, this matter…”
Old Master Shi was still talking when Shi Maowen hung up.
Shi Maowen, who had hung up the phone, slowly walked down the steps and blended into the crowd that had yet to completely disperse. He pretended to be friendly with the people inside and tried his best to win over the people who were not on his side yet.
The old master’s reaction really disappointed him.
In the past, his father was inches away from being the president. However, due to his carelessness and stubbornness, not only did he miss out on that position, but he was also forced out of the power center where decisions were made.
Thankfully, the Shi family had a large family business, which allowed them to make a comeback in a few decades.
Strangely, this father of his could maintain the attitude of a superior when facing anyone or any organization. However, when it came to the Nangong family, everything could stir up memories from the past that he painstakingly sealed away and the embarrassment that the incident brought him.
Therefore, all these years, he did everything he could to step all over the Nangong family.
However, he was just not smart enough. No matter how strong the Shi family was, the Nangong family kept growing stronger. To look down on the opponent was the greatest cruelty to oneself.
However, Shi Maowen knew his father’s temper very well. Once he decided on something, not even ten bulls pulling him could stop him.
On the surface, the members of the Shi family seemed to be in cahoots, but in reality, everyone was in it for personal gains.
At this moment, Shi Maowen had only despair for the Shi family.
Perhaps the Shi family would only be enlightened if they really hit the southern wall!
He only hoped that the Shi family would be able to make a comeback after crashing into the southern wall. Otherwise, the chances on his side would be slim.
While Shi Maowen was still wondering whether the Shi family could make a comeback after hitting the wall, something happened to the Shi family that could easily make them vomit blood.
Today, there was a land auction in South City. This land area was the largest land auctioned in Emperor District in the past five years.
The Shi family had long set their eyes on this piece of land and had already made private arrangements with the people in charge. This piece of land was a must-have for Fortune Group.
In another month, there would be another work meeting at the executive hall. Next to that piece of land would be the new address for the administrative office in South City..
