Xia Sheng squatted down next to Guo Tianqu's corpse and reached out to probe his carotid artery without giving up.

Nothing can be detected.

Xia Sheng closed his eyes in a dejected manner.

Cian withdrew his gun and stood respectfully aside, his gaze falling on the young young master with a faint worry in his eyes.

"You think you're willing to let me stay and be your puppet by doing this?" Xia Sheng opened his eyes again, turned his head and looked coldly at the old man with a gloomy and ruthless face.

"I must correct your misconception that the Donasius family never needed a puppet heir." The old man stroked the carved dragon pattern on the armrest, and said word by word in a deep voice.

Xia Sheng stood up, and for a moment, he felt that he was standing alone, and everything that originally belonged to him was far away. He couldn't keep them, he could only watch them fade like a tide, hulala.

Guo Tianqu's hypnotism has been taught by him, which is different from ordinary hypnosis, as if he has been under a spell, and he will really enter another spiritual world according to the hints he gave, and he can't get out.

When the caster dies, no one will be able to solve the hints he has cast.

Hua Tao has spent all her life thinking that the person who knows and loves her is the one who impersonates him.

Xia Sheng felt unprecedented despair.

He glanced at the two people in the room, his green eyes were as calm as water, and there was no longer the slightest wave.

"Don't be a puppet, that's about cooperation." Xia Sheng said expressionlessly, "Make conditions." ”

The old man laughed.

He was usually gloomy and cold, and rarely smiled so heartily that even Cian turned his head to look at him more.

"My conditions, you should already be very clear. I don't have a son, and my only daughter has only given birth to a child who is capable of inheriting the family business, and I am old, and the Donaxiu family is a giant ship that sails on the seas, and it needs a more capable helmsman. That's my condition. ”

Xia Sheng nodded.

It's for such a boring family expectation that he and Hua Tao's past and future are connected.

He was more reverent than ever, and he hoped in his heart that the great ship would be lost in the whirlpool of the sea.

Never turn over.

Xia Sheng said: "I know your conditions, so let's talk about my conditions now." ”

Guo Tianqu is dead, and it is impossible for Hua Tao to recover, but he will not give up like this, no matter what kind of obstacles and tribulations it is, don't want them to be separated easily.

People who love each other always try their best to overcome all difficulties and stay together, and the people he identifies will not let go.

Even if the other party lets go, he is still persistent.

The old man stared at him for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, identical twins have almost no difference in appearance, but just by looking at those green eyes, you can see the difference.

One is sensitive and cowardly, the other is calm and firm.

If it weren't for the obvious and strong difference between the two people, he wouldn't have spared no effort to keep this one.

If you want to pick the best, pick the best.

The old man motioned with his eyes to Cian and the other two men in black to carry Guo Tianqu's body away, the blood on the ground had not dried yet, and Cian wanted to order his subordinates to clean up, but was stopped by the old man.

"So be it." He raised his hand and waved, motioning for Cian to step back as well.

The door to the room closed, leaving them alone in the room.

The old man opened the drawer and took out a delicate tin box with three cigars lying inside.

Xia Sheng walked to the old man and sat down, not in a hurry to speak, quietly watching the other party light the cigar slowly and methodically.

In a few moments, the smell of cigars filled the room.

"Aren't you going to make your terms, why don't you speak?" The old man narrowed his eyes slightly in a faint cloud of smoke and spoke slowly.

Xia Sheng stared at him for a moment in the smoke before he said, "Before I make a condition, I have to confirm whether you are the one who can make a decision on this transaction." ”

The old man raised his eyebrows, and his eyes suddenly sank.

"What do you mean?"

Xia Sheng curled the corners of his lips and revealed a sneer.

"You're not Roy Donasius." He's very adamant.

Roy Donashaw is the name of the current ruler of the Donashaw family.

The old man bit his cigar gently, calmly met Xia Sheng's sharp gaze, and said calmly: "I am." ”

Xia Sheng nodded and said, "If you are, then the one I saw in the hospital is not." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

He felt like he had laughed more in one day than he had in a whole year combined.

This grandson really made him very satisfied.

"How do you see that?" The old man leaned back and adjusted to a more comfortable position.

Xia Sheng said: "It's you who are too undisguised in front of me. Conroy told me on the phone, you have a stroke, it's so bad that you can't speak, and you have to have a second operation. But before that, you have to meet me first. ”

The old man nodded.

Xia Sheng said: "But your current health is surprisingly good, don't tell me it's the credit of the operation." Even if you are a healthy and strong old man, it is impossible for you to recover so quickly, and once you have surgery, you can be like no one else. ”

The old man smiled and remained silent.

"Actually, I would think about it like this, or the hint you gave, if I hadn't met my brother and witnessed a person who looked exactly like me, I really wouldn't dare to make this guess." After Xia Sheng finished speaking, he leaned back on the back of the chair and stopped talking.

It would be too insulting for him not to see such an obvious thing, and Roy Donasee didn't intend to hide it from him, but he didn't take the initiative to explain it, as if he wanted to see if the heir to the family he fancied was an idiot.

The old man smoked his cigar with half-squinted eyes, and waited until Xia Sheng finished speaking, then he smiled and said slowly: "Yes, your conjecture is reasonable, and in fact, it is true." ”

"And ...... the one in the hospital?" Xia Sheng was quite surprised, but he didn't expect that his grandparents also had a pair of twins.

The old man said slowly with a cigar in his mouth: "It's my brother, and we two brothers, one in the light and the other in the dark, work together to run the business of the Donnaxiu family. ”

Xia Sheng raised his eyebrows, feeling new to such an approach.

"Do you know how old the average life expectancy of successive heirs is?" The old man took a puff of smoke, and his eyes became gloomy.

Xia Sheng actually didn't have much interest in knowing.

The old man didn't really want him to answer, so he paused, and continued to himself: "The average is not more than forty years old, and he either dies from shooting or poisoning. The tree is a big move, and there are many opponents of the Donnaxiu family, and each of them is not good. ”

Xia Sheng smiled mockingly: "That's really a high-risk occupation." ”

The old man said: "So when our parents gave birth to us, they whimsically decided to carry out this plan of ruling together in the light and in the dark. The only people who know this secret now are me, Cian, and you. ”

Xia Sheng was stunned for a moment and looked at him suspiciously.

For the first time, a bitter smile appeared on the old man's face.

"Yes, only the three of us know about it, the one from the hospital...... The operation failed, and he is no longer alive. I'm really coming from behind the scenes to the front of the stage now. ”

Xia Sheng was silent and did not speak.

He didn't have too deep contact with these two grandfathers, and when he first heard that he was beating the mandarin duck with a tough stick and forcing his parents to be separated forever, he didn't have a good impression of this old man.

It's just the fact that the bloodline can't be changed, and when he heard that the one in the hospital had passed away, Xia Sheng inevitably felt a heaviness in his heart.

has nothing to do with joy and sorrow, just because in this world, there is one less person who is related to him by blood.

"Those who achieve great things must not be soft-hearted." The old man stared at him meaningfully and said, "The more emotional people are, the more likely they are to have weaknesses, and it is too dangerous." ”

Xia Sheng sneered: "Then you really shouldn't leave me behind, I am amorous and romantic, merciful everywhere, and I grasp a lot of weaknesses." ”

The old man smiled: "I know, that's why there is such an arrangement now." Women are just the embellishments of life, and you must not let them become the focus of your life. ”

Xia Sheng clenched his hands into fists and stared at the old man coldly, really not speculating for more than half a sentence.

He has no such ambition, and he doesn't want to let his fate be related to the honor and disgrace of his family, he just wants to live the life he likes, whether he has no ambitions or plays in the world, that's his choice.

"Whether the love of children is a drag or not is just a matter of opinion, Mr. Donnahew, you must not have really loved." Xia Sheng said coldly.

The old man said: "Since you said that you are a matter of opinion, then there is no need for us to use our own standards to measure the gains and losses of the other party." I think you should know by now whether I am qualified to negotiate a deal with you, and what your conditions are, so let's open it. ”

Xia Sheng nodded, it was indeed time to get down to business and prescribe the conditions he wanted.

"First, I want to monitor my brother's every move over there, no matter what he does, no matter how insignificant, I also need to know it clearly." Xia Sheng couldn't let anything out of his control, especially his relatives and friends, and most importantly, his wife.

The old man seemed to have expected that he would offer this condition, and nodded his head without hesitation.

"Why do you think I'm sending Cian with them?" An unfathomable smile appeared on the old man's face, "Miss Hua is pregnant with the future successor of our family in her belly, don't say that you are not at ease, and I am even more worried as an elder." ”

Xia Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "My second condition is that the child Hua Tao is pregnant with cannot have anything to do with the Donnaxiu family. ”

"It can't be!" The old man said sharply, "Unless it's a girl, it's the future heir of the family." ”

Xia Sheng sneered: "Since you don't agree, then I don't think we need to talk about it anymore." ”

The old man also let out a sneer: "Don't forget, Senan also has the blood of my Donnaxiu family flowing in his body, if you don't promise that this child can be used by my family in the future, then let Senan and Miss Hua have another one." ”
