Faced with Young Master Shen's sudden move of passing the buck, Lin Chuyin once again refreshed her perception of this young master's despicable and shameless nature.
Is this something a human would do
Shen Yingnian, however, didn't care at all. The organization was so terrible, why should he bother with personnel matters
In order to be able to rest easy, he didn't mind using Huo Mingyu as a scapegoat.
What's more, the grandfather and grandson of the Huo family helped Xiao Chen with the intention of harming him, so Shen Yingnian naturally had to settle the account with interest!
And his reasons were very reasonable, so Lin Chuyin and the others couldn't refute it...
"Think about it, there are so many rich people in Yunzhou, and I am just a bit high-profile, which is why I might attract the attention of the kidnappers. But if the kidnappers do not take the usual route and choose to kidnap other ordinary rich people, then you will not be able to catch any big fish no matter how long you put out the bait."
"The reason why I recommend using Huo Mingyu as bait is that, firstly, he is the pillar of the Huo family. If I were a kidnapper, I would definitely choose the hostage who has the best chance of getting a huge ransom. Secondly, Huo Mingyu's original protector Xiao Chen has been arrested. At this time, Huo Mingyu's security is bound to be empty, and the kidnappers will definitely be happy to take advantage of it!"
Lin Chuyin was furious when she saw how he was shirking responsibility so elegantly. "Then are you sure you can convince Huo Mingyu to cooperate with our plan and act as bait?"
"We are all serving the interests of the country and the people. I believe Huo Mingyu will have the awareness to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens. I will try to convince him." Shen Yingnian said confidently, "Lu Xun said that revolutionary work must adhere to the mass line. Now is the time to let these enthusiastic people contribute their strength."
Lin Chuyin didn't know whether Lu Xun had said this, but she knew that this action plan was unreliable: "Even if Huo Mingyu agrees to cooperate with our action, there are still problems. For example, how can you be sure that the kidnappers will choose him?"
"This is very simple. If one bait doesn't work, then we can put a few more baits. It will be hard for the fish not to take the bait!" Shen Yingnian smiled cunningly.
He was ready to sharpen his knife and attack the Huo family.
…
If Huo Mingyu knew that Shen Yingnian had put such a heavy blame on him, he would definitely thank the Shen family's ancestors for eighty generations.
However, at this moment, Huo Mingyu's resentment towards Shen Yingnian was also quite strong.
A night passed and dawn broke.
Nine o'clock in the morning, Huo's compound.
Huo Mingyu called Xiao Chen's cell phone for the third time. Seeing that still no one answered, his heart sank completely.
"Still didn't answer?"
At this time, Mr. Huo came over with a cane.
Huo Mingyu shook his head and said with regret: "I'm afraid it's more dangerous than good..."
"Alas." Mr. Huo also sighed and sat down dejectedly. "The thing I was most worried about has really happened. I'm afraid we will hardly see Xiao Chen again in the future."
"Grandpa, did you foresee that Xiao Chen would embark on a path of no return?" Huo Mingyu couldn't help feeling sad. After all, he once regarded Xiao Chen as a mentor and helpful friend. Now Xiao Chen ran away for revenge and didn't return for a night without any news. He knew that Xiao Chen had fallen into the trap dug by Shen Yingnian!
"When Xiao Chen's mind became paranoid and bloodthirsty, he was on the road of no return." Old Master Huo frowned and said, "Perhaps you think we can persuade him again to prevent him from making a big mistake, but unfortunately his obsession is too deep, he has gone crazy, and no one can pull him back!"
"At the very least, I should have gone with him..." Huo Mingyu felt guilty.
"Silly child, if you follow him, you will be buried with him!" Old Master Huo tried to enlighten him: "Xiao Chen has done us a favor, and we have helped him as much as we should. But if we help him as well, we will also lose ourselves. The gain will not make up for the loss!"
"This is the path Xiao Chen chose himself. As an adult, you should bear the consequences of your choices. You don't have to feel too guilty. You still have to look forward. It's a pity to lose Xiao Chen, but our family can't rely on him forever."
Huo Mingyu nodded, and then he thought of something, and said in a deep voice: "But the only thing I can't figure out is how that loser Shen Yingnian became so powerful all of a sudden. We have already eliminated his followers and backers. We thought Xiao Chen had a sure win, but in the end..."
Not to mention Huo Mingyu, even Old Master Huo couldn't figure this out.
The grandfather and grandson went to great lengths to assist Xiao Chen in his revenge plan.
Seeing that they couldn't persuade Xiao Chen, they simply took advantage of the situation and lured Yi Wude, the master behind Shen Yingnian, over to let Xiao Chen clip Shen Yingnian's wings first!
In this way, when Xiao Chen goes back to settle accounts with Shen Yingnian, it will be absolutely safe.
However, Young Master Shen gave them a huge surprise... No, it was a shock!
"We thought we were being tricked, but now we think that maybe we were tricked by Shen Yingnian!" Old Master Huo pondered, "This Yi Wude might just be a shield to confuse Xiao Chen and us, making us think that Yi Wude was the backer behind him. In fact, sacrificing Yi Wude was already in his plan, in order to paralyze Xiao Chen's vigilance and lure him into the pit he dug..."
Mr. Huo is indeed a shrewd man who can unravel numerous mysteries and discern the truth!
Huo Mingyu felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
It’s terrifying when you think about it!
But he really couldn't imagine that Young Master Shen could come up with such an ingenious and profound conspiracy, and wondered, "Could it be that behind Shen Yingnian, there is actually a master who is more powerful than Yi Wude giving him advice?"
"It's hard to say. In short, the young master of the Shen family is no longer the drunkard he used to be. He is too cunning. You must never be contemptuous of him again." Old Master Huo warned: "And I am still worried that after Shen Yingnian has dealt with Xiao Chen, he will come to settle old scores with us."
"He dares?!" Huo Mingyu's face turned stern, and he snorted coldly: "Xiao Chen is reckless and careless, we can't control him, but if Shen Yingnian thinks we are fish on the chopping board, then he can give it a try to see whether his Shen family's kitchen knife is harder or our Huo family's iron plate is thicker!"
But although he spoke confidently, Huo Mingyu still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
If Shen Yingnian came alone, he could still muster up the courage.
But based on the current clues, Shen Yingnian definitely has powerful supporters around him.
Now that the Huo family has lost Xiao Chen's protection, they are hard to defend against some extraordinary attacks.
"I told you before that there are some special practitioners hidden in this world. I am now worried that Shen Yingnian has secretly brought in a skilled practitioner. When he sets up a magic array, it will be enough to make our family burn!" Old Master Huo said dimly, "Fortunately, I was prepared and invited people to help."
Huo Mingyu's eyes lit up: "Who is it?"
"Xiao Chen's fellow disciple!"
