Chapter 924: Chapter 663: How Much Do You Know About Zhuge Ming
Su Xiaomeng’s heart tightened,
"No way... They are still thinking of using these despicable means? Rong Jing has already been caught. Doesn’t Rong Si want Rong Jing to be released?"
Yin Shixiu picked up some food with his chopsticks and placed it in Su Xiaomeng’s bowl, explaining lightly,
"I have my reasons for guessing this way."
"What’s the reason?"
"Not long ago, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection took down a big ’tiger.’ Dad and Mom should be familiar with this, right?"
Yin Shaohui nodded.
"After this ’tiger’ fell from grace, there’s been a vacancy in this not too high, not too low position. At this sensitive time, there aren’t many candidates who can take over, and Yin Shiqing happens to be one of them."
"..."
Su Xiaomeng didn’t understand the political power struggles, let alone that this struggle had to be integrated with current events.
"At Yin Shiqing’s age, it’s quite awkward to climb any higher, but coincidentally, this opportunity has fallen right in front of him. He will surely fight to the bitter end to rise up."
Yin Shixiu said, putting down his chopsticks, resting both hands on his wheelchair, his gaze falling on Su Chengji and Bai Sixian,
"Yin Shiqing’s current situation is like sailing against the current: if you don’t advance, you retreat."
"The Rong Family father and son are now implicated by Wu Rong. Can Yin Shiqing ignore this? It seems he can, but he won’t. He is someone with a very clear view of the big picture. The Shi Family has already fallen, and his power has been cut in half. With Wu Rong arrested, if the Rong Family also collapses, then the resources and connections he can utilize will be very limited."
"If he ignores the Rong Family father and son now, he can spare himself. The Tianjin Port kidnapping case originally has nothing to do with Yin Shiqing."
"But if he ignores it now, in the future, he will be isolated and weak."
After Yin Shixiu said this, Su Xiaomeng very much agreed. Thinking about Yin Shiqing’s way of handling things, it was indeed so.
"And as for Yin Shiqing as a person, he is very cautious. He wants to help the Rong Family, but he also cannot threaten his own interests during this sensitive time."
"If he wants nothing to happen to Rong Jing, then he has to start with me. But the Yin Family and Bai Family are two prestigious families in Beijing; he doesn’t dare to offend them rashly. If he makes too much noise, it will be detrimental to him."
"So what I can think of... is still the direction of my father-in-law."
"If Yin Shiqing and Rong Si want to threaten us, they will surely start with Su Family Village. Relatives in Su Family Village ultimately do not have any significant power or background."
Su Chengji’s face turned pale and then red as he listened.
Su Xiaomeng’s heart also raced, and she involuntarily swallowed,
"Then... what should we do?"
Su Family Village... there are many people there, from the elderly to the young... If Rong Si really sends unsavory people, they really wouldn’t be able to protect them.
"That’s why I need to call Grandpa Su. Grandpa Su is a sensible person."
Yin Shixiu said.
Su Chengji nodded,
"Alright, I will call Dad right away."
"Will it work?"
"Giving Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle, and Uncle a heads-up beforehand is better than leaving them clueless."
Su Xiaomeng agreed.
"If Grandpa and Grandma keep an eye out, I will take care of the rest."
Yin Shixiu said.
"Uncle, you shouldn’t arrange everything yourself. Can your body handle it? If you have any plans, just let me handle them."
Shan Mingxu said.
"Ming Xu, you’re a soldier. Even if you use retired soldiers as informants, you’re still misusing your ’soldier’ identity."
"..."
Shan Mingxu pressed his lips together, lowered his head, and did not say anything further.
"As for Su Family Village, it’s settled like this. As for us... second sister, third sister, Yin Shiqing can’t be considered a member of the Yin Family anymore, and it’s not worth it for us to call him big brother."
"..."
"He won’t be mindful of the brotherly friendship we’ve had over the years. If he is pressed, he can do anything, so..."
"Ha! If he dares to target us, I’d be angry enough to do anything too!"
Yin Shilan said resentfully.
Yin Shixiu’s lips curved up slightly.
These matters were rather heavy, making the atmosphere in the hall oppressive.
Yin Shilan’s words weren’t wrong. If pressed, anything could be done.
"Alright, everyone, hurry and eat. We’ll talk more after we finish eating. I cooked a whole table of dishes; if we don’t eat now, it really will all be wasted."
Bai Sixian called everyone.
"Yes, my mother’s cooking is impeccable. By the way, should we open a bottle of wine to celebrate?"
Su Xiaomeng suggested with a smile,
"I remember there’s still a bottle of Lafite in the wine cabinet."
With that, she already got up to fetch the wine from the wine cabinet.
