At this time, in the super luxurious VIP room of Jiayuan Club, Si Yiyan slowly looked up at the clock on the wall ticking to twelve o'clock. The slender second hand, the slightly thick minute hand, and the short hour hand slowly overlapped and then suddenly separated.
His slender figure, with distinct joints, gently stroked the second cufflink on his cuff. The intricate and beautiful patterns on the golden cufflink seemed to carry some kind of mysterious and obscure meaning. Only the fancy letters "Rexi" in the middle of the cufflink remained the same as before.
Gu Yuehan slowly pushed the door open and walked in, his expression becoming increasingly cold and murderous.
Before Gu Yuehan could speak, Si Yiyan asked in a low voice, "How did the matter go?"
Gu Yuehan was shocked by his impatience, but still replied: "Don't worry, Jiu Shao, this matter is completely in accordance with your request. No innocent people were hurt, and no one was killed. Of course... except Huo Zhendong, the rest are handed over to Superintendent Zhang. Black Sunday will become a part of Beijing's history tomorrow, and there will be no historical remnants that affect us."
Si Yiyan nodded. Xia Si was still a businessman after all. It was not good to get too deeply involved with these forces. It would be best to hand it over to the police. It would give the police face and eradicate Black Sunday at the same time. What's the harm in doing so? Besides... this matter involved Xinya to some extent. He believed in the so-called cause and effect in Buddhism, so he didn't want to be stained with any blood.
Si Yiyan said calmly, "Notify Superintendent Zhang later that Huo Qiuzhen will be handed over to me for personal disposal."
The tone was indifferent, but the rebuttal was cold and unquestionable.
Gu Yuehan was surprised: "Don't worry, Master Jiu, I will take care of this matter myself."
It was beyond his expectation that the Nine Young Master would personally deal with Huo Qiu Zhen. It seemed that the position of the eldest lady of the Wen family in the Nine Young Master's heart had reached a level that he could not imagine.
Si Yiyan's voice was chilling: "Have you found out which foreign forces were involved in Black Sunday?"
Although the information they found out was that Huo Qiuzhen was avenging Xinya for his brother Huo Zhendong, the complicated forces behind Black Sunday still left him with doubts. He would not be careless when it came to anything involving Xinya.
Gu Yuehan said solemnly, "We have found out part of it. My brother has already started to deal with it. Please rest assured, Jiu Shao."
When it comes to some foreign forces, one has to be cautious. If one is not careful, it will cause a diplomatic crisis. More importantly... Jiu Shao does not want to use the identity of the person in charge of Xia Si family and Lucifer's Rex to deal with this matter, which seems a bit constrained.
He understood that Jiu Shao did not want to involve these identities, mainly because he was afraid of involving Miss Wen. A mysterious identity would make people speculate and fear, which would be the best protection for Miss Wen.
Si Yiyan said calmly: "Tell Gu Yuexi to eradicate the roots at all costs."
They were obviously bland words, but the last four words, with the hook and lift of the tongue, the curl and flatten, actually carried a shocking fierceness.
Gu Yuehan hesitated and said, "Jiu Shao, this matter is too serious and will have a huge impact on Xia Sishi and Lucifer. Would you like to reconsider it carefully?"
Since Jiu Shao took over the Xia Si family, his reputation outside has not been very good. Domineering, treacherous and cruel have become his bywords, and even the style of Xia Si family has been criticized. This is not a good thing for Jiu Shao, so it is not easy to handle this matter in a too domineering way.
More importantly, although Xia Sishi has the protection of forces like Lucifer, it has already been cleansed. If the relationship is too deep, I am afraid that Xia Sishi will be deeply trapped and unable to extricate itself.
Si Yiyan glanced at Gu Yuehan calmly, his dark and deep eyes flashing with an unquestionable light: "Gu Yuehan, do you still remember what happened when we were in Country E?"
What did Jiu Shao mean by talking about the past? Gu Yuehan didn't dare to speculate, so he just nodded and said, "I remember!"
Si Yiyan said calmly: "At that time, the new mayor of the capital of E country came to power, and the Ivanov family he relied on behind the scenes tried to suppress Lucifer everywhere. At that time, I went to E country alone, holding the token my father left for me to represent Lucifer in power, and asked them: Do you dare to entrust your life to an underage child?"
Gu Yuehan lowered his head and said, "At that time, everyone answered [yes]!"
When Jiu Shao first went to Country E, some of Lucifer's elders did not agree with him due to his age. Jiu Shao went through untold hardships and proved his ability to control Lucifer. Finally, three years later, he was qualified to stand on the stage of Lucifer's leader, overlooking all of Lucifer and asking that question. He will never forget the situation at that time.
Si Yiyan said calmly, "Gu Yuehan, from the moment those people said "yes" to me in a resounding voice, I took on the responsibility of their life and death, honor and disgrace. So from that moment on, any decision I made was made after careful consideration. You don't need to doubt this."
Gu Yuehan lowered his head, no longer able to speak.
He shouldn't have doubted Jiu Shao and ignored the interests of Xia Si and Lucifer for the sake of love. Jiu Shao is still the Jiu Shao who stood on the stage of Lucifer's power and swore loyalty to everyone! He has never changed.
Gu Yuehan said in a calm tone, "My brother called me just now. Huo Qiuzhen called you to seek asylum, but he sent me away."
Before, they eliminated so many forces of Huo Qiu Zhen, but Huo Qiu Zhen could remain calm in the face of such a difficult situation. He was just relying on Jiu Shao to be fearless. Jiu Shao has destroyed all his hopes. I wonder if he will collapse.
Si Yiyan's fingers gently tapped the glass on the table in front of him, and the dull sound carried a certain murderous tone: "If Huo Qiuzhen knew that the person he sought rescue and shelter from was the one who wanted to take his life, I wonder what his expression would be, but... I can imagine that it would be very interesting."
Gu Yuehan said: "However, he may never know until his death that the person who wants to take his life is you, Jiu Shao."
Si Yiyan suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Yuehan: "It is very cruel to let a person die without knowing how he died or at whose hands. Do you think I would be such a cruel person?"
Gu Yuehan's heart was shocked, and for a moment he didn't understand the meaning of his words.
Si Yiyan's hand that was tapping on the glass table suddenly withdrew, and the murderous intent on his body disappeared without a trace: "The dead... have the right to know everything."
Gu Yuehan felt a little cold in his heart, but did not dare to say anything.
Si Yiyan's fingers gently stroked the second cufflink on his sleeves twice. He didn't want to reveal his identity, but he still had doubts about Huo Qiuzhen's revenge on Xinya, and he had to find out for himself before he could feel at ease.
