"It's a showdown with 'them.'"

"Are you playing really?"

Staring at the expressionless Shi Chen, the corners of the eldest lady's mouth twitched slightly, and her expression was a little strange.

"What do you think?" Shi Chen asked rhetorically, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, "There are already people in the school who have secretly released rumors, 'As long as you kill Tosaka Shichen, you will be the student president!'" ’”

"Kill you? Just those five scum? The eldest lady still looked disapproving.

"Of course, those five scum can't hurt me, but you can't see what this represents, right?"

Although it was only a secret release, it was already very telling--when he was the first student vice president, even when he and Gui Daisy were at their most stormy, no one dared to spread such rumors--with the support of those directors, and those well-informed people naturally did not get dizzy and hit him on the head. He could even use the threat of not being the vice president to force the council to take a stand: Are you going to be on my side or on their side?

Under such a threat, the bigwigs who finally let him get into the cage naturally didn't want him to run out again to stir up the wind and rain and fight the rivers and lakes again, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it.

And now, perhaps it was Shi Chen's obedience that made the directors feel that he had lost his original unruly character, and his danger was greatly reduced; It may also be that the smooth implementation of the family's plan makes them feel that Shichen is about to do so, or that there is no longer much use value, so they just take advantage of the current situation to sell their family's favor; Or for some other reason, in short, the directors are no longer willing to be Tosaka's backing.

"So, you're ready to toss again?"

Squinting her eyes, the eldest lady squinted at him.

His relationship with the Council was not as harmonious as it seemed, and both the eldest lady and himself knew this very well - the two men, who were capable, actionable, and did not like to be accused, and who often walked alone, were simply two problem children to the Council (although they were in reality). Regardless of the eldest lady, in order to make Shi Chen obedient, the council simply tried its best: there was a big battle between the two sides, and except for the lack of death, all other moves were used. But not only did it fail to make him succumb, but it made him stronger and stronger, and finally adhered to the extremely realistic principle of 'the enemy who can't be defeated is a friend', and Shi Chen himself had no intention of fighting, and the two sides reached a settlement.

"It's not that I'm going to toss, it's that I have to." The sarcasm in Shi Chen's eyes was still the same, and even extended to the corners of his mouth, "You have also seen those things, if you don't toss, don't say anything else, are you going to make me your debt steward too?" ”

"What happened to my housekeeper?" For someone who seemed to look down on this promising career, the eldest lady asked unhappily, "It's better than eating tea and rice in order to pay off your debts in the future, right?" ”

"But we don't have to."

Choked by the eldest lady's words, Shi Chen was silent for a while, and said expressionlessly.

"In other words, you guy, do you have to turn everyone into your enemies according to your own ideas?"

“”

With a flash of light in his eyes, Shi Chen stared at the eldest lady whose face was still as plain as usual.

"If you pretend not to know, this time things will probably develop like this: your family and the Stuart family are back to normal, the disgusting Sawayue family has also been hit a little bit, and at the same time, your relationship with your family has been repaired, except that you can no longer take that money around, basically nothing will be lost; But if you follow your thoughts: except for the Stuart family and yourself, everyone will be dissatisfied - and even, the Sawayue family, which was hit hard by you, may do some bad things, just for their own whimsical willfulness, but make such an unwise choice, Tosaka Shichenjun, is this really, worth it? ”

Is it worth it?

Thinking about it carefully, there is no unending deep hatred between himself and the Zeyue family, at least not yet. Although there are some old grudges between the council and the family, it is only a matter of fighting for a breath, and there is still a lot of affection between the two sides - he has never been a cautious person, and there is no need to delve too deeply into the past.

Compared with the crazy acts he used to do for a certain obsession, what he is doing now is purely dispensable, not something that must be done. Even if he was cheated this time, the family did not dare to confiscate all his money without compensation without his conscience - it should be his, it was still his, but the right to use it no longer belonged to him.

But if he does this, will everyone really be happy as Sanqian said?

"What do you think will happen to a tiger whose fangs and claws have been pulled out?"

"What do you think of me now?"

The eldest lady did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Not bad." Shi Chen nodded, this kind of ordinary life supported by strong economic strength sometimes feels very comfortable, "But, that's different - you just restrain your own minions, not be pulled out." ”

"So, you're still going to do what you want?" Seeing that she couldn't move him, the eldest lady sighed and said.

"You haven't forgotten the incident at the airport last time I told you, have you?"

He's talking about being assassinated.

"So what? I've seen this kind of thing a lot. ”

"You've seen a lot, but I haven't seen it a few times." Shi Chen's voice was a little heavier, "Dare to do that now, if you really do what you say, do you think they won't get an inch?" ”

"At the end of the day, you still have to do it."

"Yes, I'm still going to do it." Shi Chen nodded, his face solemn, "I am different from you Sanqian, you have your old man, Sa and Miss Maria; But the only one I can rely on is myself, and there are many people who are relying on me, and once I give in, what will happen to them is what I don't want to see. Therefore, I can't back down in this matter -- for my own sake, I can forbear, I can negotiate terms, I can reason; But for the sake of those people, even if I don't talk about reason, I don't talk about conditions, I have to do it. ”

"At least not until we get enough of it."

After a pause, he continued.

"That is, after gaining what you think is enough, you can back down?"

His focus is on the front, but what the eldest lady cares about is in the back.

"Not bad." Shi Chen confirmed her guess, "If it goes well, it will be this time." ”

"Looks like you're going to do something big!" The eldest lady smiled helplessly, "Then I wish you success." But after all that, I still don't see what it has to do with you letting them come to me? ”
