Chapter 656: I Want to See Whether Tonight’s Storm Can Wash Away the Blood and Flesh Covering the City!

"Boom!"

In the night in Shencheng City, the wind raged, the storm poured, and lightning flashed.

Yet, in the conference room on the 19th floor of the Li Hai Building, dozens of people were seated.

Qi Wei sat in the chief seat, her eyes downcast, her fingers playing with the ring on her finger.

"Kada!"

A bolt of lightning once again flashed in the distance, unsettling everyone.

The originally noisy conference room suddenly fell silent.

Sensing the shift in atmosphere, Qi Wei finally lifted her head, her gaze falling upon Guo Qing, who was restlessly smoking:

"Alright, we’ve been having this meeting for quite a while today, everyone is tired and weary, let’s make the final decision. Remember, we have time to meet here, but the competition for the new land cannot wait for us."

"Those who support my earlier proposal, please raise your hand."

Qi Wei was the first to express her stance, slowly raising her hand.

Guo Qing also looked at her, but his body remained motionless.

In previous meetings, Qi Wei had argued that Li Hai was weak and decided to cooperate with two other companies.

One was under the Qi Family, while the other was a relatively well-known real estate company in Shencheng City.

As soon as that real estate company joined in, Guo Qing knew what ’color’ lay behind it.

So he immediately opposed, but no one expected Qi Li, who had long reached an agreement with Chen Xiao, to support the cooperation with that company at this time.

With them joining, Dragon Cauldron was naturally left out.

Although Qi Wei continued to say that Dragon Cauldron was Li Hai, and Li Hai was Dragon Cauldron, etc.

But without Dragon Cauldron’s name, is it the same?

So Guo Qing expressed his opposition again, and as a result, the company’s dozens of executives spent nearly the whole day discussing whom to support.

Originally, Guo Qing was able to compete against them, but with the opponent’s stakes increasing and Qi Li personally attending, Guo Qing immediately fell back.

Seeing Qi Li raise his hand, Guo Qing stood up with a smile:

"Everyone here is a businessman, so I understand the decisions of both Presidents Qi very well. For you, this may be a huge opportunity."

"Of course, it certainly is a huge opportunity. But opportunities have always been a double-edged sword. When you can handle it, you’re unbeatable, but if you can’t, it becomes a sharp blade cutting into yourself."

"Both of you, be good to yourselves!"

Guo Qing didn’t say much more, leaving after throwing these words.

Qi Wei frowned and called out: "President Guo, it’s not to that extent."

"Qi Wei, to be honest, I quite admire you, woman; you’re bold in action and decisive. But your traits are just like your emotions, wavering when you say to waver, devoted when you say to devote."

Guo Qing said with a smile, causing Qi Wei’s face to immediately darken.

Qi Li signaled with his eyes: "Since President Guo has no intention of staying, it means he agrees with our decision, so... President Qi Wei’s proposal is unanimously passed."

Guo Qing didn’t listen to the following words and left with his people.

Once outside the conference room, Guo Qing looked at the pouring rain outside and took out another cigarette.

Seeing this, his subordinate immediately helped light it, and asked worriedly:

"President Guo, are we just going to concede like this?"

"Yes, President Guo, it was hard for us to enter Li Hai, and isn’t all our previous effort wasted now?"

Guo Qing sneered: "Wasted? Overconfident people often struggle to discern that what they believe is the best choice is often striking a deal with the devil."

"Let them proceed, perhaps Chen Xiao and the others also understand that some people will always be mud that cannot be supported."

Saying this, Guo Qing couldn’t help but look at the rain outside:

"Chen Xiao should be here soon, this storm is really heavy, I just hope it doesn’t delay his flight."

"Boom!"

As if responding to Guo Qing, thunder and lightning cracked again outside the window.

At the same time, in a villa somewhere in Shencheng City, someone else was also looking at the thunder and lightning outside the window.

"When are you planning to make a move?"

"Planning? I don’t need to plan anything; I’m just thinking about how to make it more exciting."

"Are you crazy? If you want to stay safe, you should make it quick."

The person by the window sneered and shook his head:

"No way, what’s the point of throwing out a few body parts? Cold and desolate, not exciting at all."

Ignoring the others behind him, the person pointed to the thunder and lightning outside and said:

"Do you see it? Even God is telling me, tonight you either don’t do it or make it spectacular, so I’m thinking..."

"Lingchi!"

"Lingchi?!"

"It’s just a beheading; if someone must die, why choose such a cruel way!"

"Think about it, if we cut her into thousands of pieces and then let her flesh be seen all over Shencheng City, wouldn’t that be sensational? And the head... yes, the head, throw it at the airport as a welcoming gift for Chen Xiao!"

"But they have people watching; why do you think you can escape?"

"Because you’re my shadow, they’ll only watch you, never me!"

The person by the window sneered, making the person behind him turn grim.

"After this, can you put down the butcher knife? You know, if you keep going like this, something big is bound to happen sooner or later!"

"Really? I don’t believe it. Besides, you never believe me; I promised you countless times, but you never wanted to believe me."

The person behind clenched his jaw: "It’s my fault, so I’m willing to do these things for you. But I only have one request, after this, I hope you can live a dignified life!"

"Alright!"

Hearing the resolute answer from the person by the window, the one behind could only sigh and walk out.

After he left, the person by the window remained motionless. After standing there for a long while, he finally spread his arms and closed his eyes.

But when he reopened them, his eyes showed endless resentment.

"Let the storm come even fiercer!"

"I want to see if tonight’s storm can wash away all the blood in this city!"

As he spoke, his hand involuntarily pulled out a pendant from his collar.

The pendant was intricate, seemingly made of numerous small figures.

Looking at the pendant, the man’s brows furrowed deeply, muttering:

"So-called curses are just legends, nonsense like ending with no descendants, what a joke!"

After whispering, he hid the pendant again, gazing at the storm outside in silence.

Soon, he glanced at the time and softly said:

"Chen Xiao, welcome back to Shencheng City!"
