Chapter 2333 - 2334: What Do You Want Me to Do
Qin Shujie’s face appeared extremely ferocious at this moment, with eyes brimming with malice, as if he were a vengeful ghost.
Within the Qin family, Qin Shujie’s heart was already filled with an unspeakable rage.
After all, he had been slapped by Ye Xunhuan, and that too in front of everyone. This was something hard for anyone to accept.
What’s more, Qin Pojun was clearly siding with Ye Xunhuan, which only made Qin Shujie’s anger surge even more.
Because of Qin Pojun, Qin Shujie didn’t dare act recklessly, but once he returned, his anger erupted instantly.
Every time he recalled Ye Xunhuan’s throat-slitting gesture, Qin Shujie’s anger became irrepressible, like a breached dam, and he wished he could kill Ye Xunhuan immediately.
Even though Qin Shujie desperately wanted to kill Ye Xunhuan, he knew deep down that he couldn’t do it.
Ye Xunhuan was simply too powerful. If Qin Shujie were capable of killing him, he wouldn’t be sitting here.
"Old fool, you gave him the Qin family. Do you think you can come back? Sooner or later, this Qin family will change its surname to Ye!" Qin Shujie said grimly, "Old senile fool..."
At this moment, Qin Shujie was utterly fed up with his father, Qin Pojun.
"Qin Shuheng, and you, bastard, how could you be so cowardly and simply agree like that!"
All along, both Qin Shujie and Qin Shuheng wanted the position of the head of the Qin family, and their conflicts were not few. However, regarding Ye Xunhuan, their views were almost unanimous. But who would have thought that today Qin Shuheng would behave unusually and say nothing?
Qin Shujie didn’t know the real situation then, leading him to instinctively believe Qin Shuheng was backing down!
"Ye Xunhuan, just you wait. I will definitely drag you down. That position belongs to me, mine!" Qin Shujie roared like an angry beast.
While Qin Shujie was growling and roaring, a dark figure suddenly appeared at the doorway like a phantom.
In his fiery state, Qin Shujie didn’t even notice someone had arrived silently.
"Ye Xunhuan, I must make sure you die, only then will everything be peaceful..."
At this moment, a slightly cold voice suddenly sounded in Qin Shujie’s ear: "Do you really want him dead that badly?"
Startled by the abrupt voice, Qin Shujie shivered uncontrollably and instinctively turned towards the source.
Next moment, Qin Shujie saw a tall figure standing at the doorway.
"You... who are you?" Qin Shujie squinted his eyes with full vigilance.
"Who I am is not important. What’s important is that I can help you achieve your goal."
"You heard everything I just said..."
"No need to be nervous, I have no ill intentions towards you. Moreover, if I did, do you think you’d still be alive now?" the other party said calmly, "Killing you wouldn’t be hard for me!"
"Who are you exactly?"
"Rest assured, we are not enemies. On the contrary, we have a common adversary, so we should be allies."
"If we’re friends, why don’t you come in?" Qin Shujie said coldly.
Right now, Qin Shujie didn’t argue with the other person, as arguing was pointless. The other party had heard everything, and denying it would be useless.
"I enjoy the wide view outside!" the other person said calmly, "But we can still talk now."
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Whatever you want to talk about, we’ll discuss it!"
Qin Shujie’s heart tightened: "Why should I believe you?"
"Because I want to kill the Marshal."
The man seemed to realize something, then corrected himself: "I mean, the Ye Xunhuan you mentioned!"
"How do I know if you’re telling the truth?"
"In that case, there’s nothing to discuss. I’ll leave," the other person said indifferently, "But if you miss this chance, you’ll truly have none!"
"With just yourself, wanting to kill your nephew, you’ll never achieve it in this lifetime."
With these words, the other person turned to leave.
Seeing this, Qin Shujie hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute!"
"What else?"
"Can you really kill him?"
"I can’t guarantee I can kill him, but I can tell you that once I rescued someone from his grasp," the other person said softly, "I brought the person out completely unharmed. What do you think of my abilities?"
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light shot from Qin Shujie’s eyes: "Really?"
"What good would deceiving you do for me?"
"Then why did you come to find me?"
"To be honest, you weren’t my top pick. My preferred candidate was actually your brother, Qin Shuheng!" The other person didn’t fear upsetting Qin Shujie and spoke candidly, "Compared to him, there is a gap between you and your brother!"
"But now your brother is very calm, and I have tried reaching out to him, but to no avail!"
"So, I’m your backup choice?"
"Correct," the other person said openly, "Although you may not want to hear this, I feel it’s necessary to say!"
"The gap between you and your brother isn’t a small one."
"You..."
"Is it harsh?" The other person seemed to predict what Qin Shujie wanted to say and interrupted, "But it’s the truth!"
"Don’t you think talking like this in a partnership could easily break down discussions?"
"Doesn’t matter, it’s not like you intend to anyway," the other party said calmly, "Alright, I’m leaving. Take care of yourself!"
"Wait!" Qin Shujie said again.
"What else is there?"
"Did I say I wouldn’t cooperate with you?" Qin Shujie stated emphatically, "But you won’t even come inside, how can we talk?"
"Can’t we talk this way?"
"How we talk isn’t important, the result is what matters, right?" the other said softly.
"Since you put it that way, I’ll follow your lead," Qin Shujie took a deep breath and said, "You’re cooperating with me because you want me to do something, right? Just say it!"
At this moment, Qin Shujie was completely consumed by the allure of power, agreeing directly without caring who the other party was.
Although consumed by ambition, it didn’t mean Qin Shujie was devoid of the ability to think!
