Chapter 882: Chapter 649: Return of the King (Part 1)
Day after day, year after year, he just became a businessman.
An outstanding young businessman who amazed foreigners and made his countrymen proud.
"Shixiu, you really are greedy, taking on project after project like you’re not tired at all. You’re still so young, what’s the hurry? With your brains, in this city of Beijing, are you really afraid of losing power in the future?"
Years ago, Wu Rong watched the Yin Family continuously expand under Yin Shixiu’s leadership.
During a heart-to-heart conversation, he said this.
Yin Shixiu smiled,
"I like it. Just like Brother Wu, you like politics."
What he talked about was passion.
"Wu Rong, back when you wanted to become the Chief of Police, you didn’t talk about interests.
"I still remember many years ago, when he eloquently talked about his political ambitions!"
"Fuming at the injustice and grievances in society. Not like now, where the coldest word on your lips is ’interests.’"
That day, Yin Shixiu said this to him, eyes full of doubt.
But he responded honestly,
"Yes... The current me can’t compare to the me back then."
Wu Rong thought, at that moment, his honesty must have rendered Yin Shixiu speechless, perhaps even... completely disappointed, right?
Different paths ultimately lead to different destinations.
Yin Shixiu grew stronger on the path he loved, cherished, and persisted in, ultimately becoming a young king in the business world.
As for him...
Crawled and calculated meticulously, advancing with caution, greedy for power and profit, yet in the end it was all in vain.
He had originally thought about how to struggle for a way out, but now, he felt tired.
No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t live freely, with dignity, or like Yin Shixiu—where just his presence was a force to reckon with.
The strength of Yin Shixiu overwhelmed Wu Rong until he couldn’t breathe.
"I lost."
After a long silence and quiet, Wu Rong said softly.
Only Su Xiaomeng knew that, when she heard Wu Rong say lightly "I lost," her heart felt a deep sorrow.
Doing so many illegal and immoral things, risking so many lives, in the end, was it all just for ’winning or losing’?
She didn’t understand...
Yin Shixiu could feel the person behind him becoming unstable.
At that moment, Xiao Meng’s heart was filled with sorrow, just as Yin Shixiu was.
Winning or losing...
To him, it was on the negotiation table of the business world, in the competition of tenders...
Someone like Wu Rong, who spent his life purely to surpass others, to win over others, ultimately losing himself, was inevitably tragic.
Su Xiaomeng pushed Yin Shixiu out of the detention center, leaving the remaining matters to her uncle.
Xiao Meng believed her uncle would handle it well.
Bai Sidong assisted Su Xiaomeng in helping Yin Shixiu into the car.
As the car door closed, Su Xiaomeng was about to go around to the other side to get in, when Bai Sidong, who had been silent all along, couldn’t hold back and called out to her,
"Meng Meng!"
"Huh?"
Bai Sidong’s frown relaxed, then tightened again, making his expression quite colorful for a moment.
He hadn’t expected Su Xiaomeng would explain everything and just leave...
After pursing his lips for a long time, he walked over to Su Xiaomeng, filled with countless questions, but in the end, he only asked one,
"When did you find out Shixiu was still alive?"
"Um..."
Su Xiaomeng froze, meeting Bai Sidong’s gaze, she suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy.
"Honestly..."
Bai Sidong saw her hesitating, but still patiently asked.
Su Xiaomeng touched her head, "Well... probably when Rong Jing was making a fuss about marrying me..."
Bai Sidong quickly calculated the time, then, without hesitation, raised his hand and gave Su Xiaomeng a solid flick on the forehead!
"Ah!"
Su Xiaomeng really felt the pain!
Bai Sidong glared at her fiercely before turning back to the detention center.
"Uncle, a gentleman uses words, not fists!"
"You started it first!"
Bai Sidong replied, hands in the pockets of his straight police trousers, then turned with a full smile and walked back into the police station.
No matter how it turns out...
Yin Shixiu has returned.
This is the best, the most fortunate thing...
He believed the ’flick’ Su Xiaomeng received wouldn’t be the last one.
That little girl really seemed to grow bolder and bolder!
Without realizing it, Bai Sidong started to hum a tune, the shock of Yin Shixiu’s resurrection, and the annoyance at Su Xiaomeng’s secrecy all faded away, with no emotion as gratifying as the joy at the moment.
The king returns.
Next, he, as the uncle, would have many things to keep busy with.
