Chapter 139: Conspiracy

In the dead of night, in the Shi family villa, Shi Xi's phone buzzed "buzz, buzz, buzz."

"That woman has already moved out of the Qin family."

Shi Xi answered the phone, and a low, hoarse male voice came from the other side.

A sinister smile appeared on Shi Xi's face: "Heh, moving so fast, keep a close eye on her for me."

"Understood."

Shi Xi was about to hang up the phone when a hesitant voice from the man suddenly came from the other side:

"Wait."

"Is there anything else?"

"Xi'er... when can we meet? I... I miss you very much."

The man's voice suppressed intense emotion.

Shi Xi sneered in her heart; that fool Gu Fei actually took it seriously, actually thinking she liked him.

"A-Fei, we can't meet right now, and we can't let anyone know about our relationship. But don't be anxious, once we completely deal with this woman, we can be together openly."

The man on the other side was silent for a while, and finally said "Mm."

"I understand, take care of yourself."

"Alright, hang up."

The night flowed quietly, and Shi Xi stood by the window with her arms crossed, looking out at the dark night sky through the curtains.

Shi Yi had moved out of the Qin family and was living alone. This meant that she must have had an irreconcilable conflict with either the Qin family or Brother Hao Bei.

Heh, this time, she would definitely not let go of this opportunity to take back everything that should have belonged to her.

"Bang, bang, bang."

A knock sounded on the door of the president's office at the Shi Group headquarters.

"Xiao Sun, what is it?"

"President Shi, the Third Miss is here."

Shi Heng's brow furrowed deeply: "Third Miss, Xi'er?"

"It is indeed Miss Shi Xi."

Shi Heng thought to himself, Shi Xi had never been interested in the family business and had never come to the group building, so why would she come here today?

"Let her in."

After a while, Shi Xi pushed the door open and walked in. Unlike her usual luxurious and gorgeous attire, she was dressed very plainly today and wasn't wearing much makeup.

"Brother, sorry to bother you." Shi Xi's tone was polite and courteous.

"What are you here for?"

"Brother's time is precious, so I won't beat around the bush. I heard... the Shi Group is launching a new big data product next week. Can I... participate in the press conference?"

"Press conference?"

Shi Heng never expected Shi Xi to make such a request.

"The press conference probably isn't fun, and it's all professional introductions, you wouldn't understand." Shi Heng said coldly.

"Brother, precisely because I don't understand, I want to learn! I know that for these years, I have been indulging in my own dance, my personality has been willful and indulgent, and I have caused a lot of trouble for the family... But now, I have grown up, and I realize my mistakes! I also want to share some responsibilities for you, and I also want to become the pride of the family!"

Shi Xi's expression was serious, her eyes particularly firm, and Shi Heng's heart trembled slightly.

At this moment, he felt that what Shi Xi said might be her true thoughts.

This time, she had truly matured and become sensible.

"Do you really want to go to the press conference? Do you know..."

Shi Heng said with a cold face: "This time, the car-mounted big model system being released is named... Xingyi."

This product had taken three years to complete and was a product Shi Heng had originally developed to commemorate the "dead" Shi Yi, originally named Lingyi. Later, upon learning that Xiao Yi was still alive and living under the identity of "Shen Xingyao," Shi Heng changed the product's name to "Xingyi."

"I know." Shi Xi lowered her head and said softly: "I also know that this product was developed to commemorate my sister... and me."

As she said this, she raised her head and looked at Shi Heng with burning eyes:

"So, I want to participate even more! I know that for these years, I have let my sister down... She won't forgive me so quickly, so I... also want to express my apology and guilt in this way."

Shi Heng sighed long and hard.

"Since you really think so, come to the Lanwan Conference Center at 3:00 PM next weekend, and I will reserve a seat for you."

Shi Xi's eyes lit up.

"Thank you, Brother!"

On the afternoon of the weekend, the Lanwan Conference Center was bustling with people, and the atmosphere was grand.

The Shi Group's product launch was held as scheduled.

The attendees were business elites, corporate leaders, government officials, and media from all walks of life.

Shi Xi was wearing a low-key professional suit today, found her seat in the venue and sat down, but she still saw a familiar figure in the bustling crowd at a glance—Qin Hao Bei.

Heh, he really came.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shi Xi's mouth.

"Respected guests, partners, and media friends, hello everyone."

Shi Heng walked to the center of the podium with a domineering stride.

"Thank you all for coming to this product launch in your busy schedules. Today, we gather here with anticipation and enthusiasm to present to you the brand-new product that our team has poured countless efforts into, Xingyi. This product condenses cutting-edge technology and innovative concepts, and we hope to bring you a brand-new experience and value. Next, let us unveil its mysterious veil together..."

Shi Heng spoke eloquently, introducing the product calmly and methodically.

The press conference lasted for more than two hours, with countless media setting up long guns and short cannons at the scene, conducting a live broadcast simultaneously.

Shi Xi sat in the first row of guests, her expression serious, and she had been taking notes attentively.

"Next is the final segment, let's invite the volunteers to come on stage to experience our Xingyi system personally."

Before long, four or five men and women walked onto the stage. Qin Hao Bei was also among them. These volunteers were not chosen temporarily, but were recruited by the Shi Group in advance.

Qin Hao Bei's spot had been specially reserved by Shi Heng.

The last hacker incident made him realize that the true strength of the Qin family was definitely not something the Shi family could afford to provoke, so this time, he chose to take the initiative to show goodwill to Qin Hao Bei.

Moreover, this product was originally developed to commemorate Xiao Yi, and it also represented his sincere apology to Xiao Yi.

The lights gathered, and a handsome figure walked slowly to the very center of the stage.

Qin Hao Bei hadn't wanted to attract too much attention, but his temperament was too outstanding, and his appearance drew countless gazes.

"Isn't that the young master of the Qin family?"

"Yes, I heard he has been training in the military and doesn't come out much, I didn't expect him to come to the press conference today!"

"I remember a few years ago, there were rumors that the Shi family and the Qin family wanted to marry, and looking at it today, I'm afraid this matter is not groundless!"

"Yes, look at the one sitting in front, it seems to be the daughter of the Shi family, I think... the Qin family young master came because of this!"

A burst of whispering discussion sounded from the audience, making Qin Hao Bei feel annoyed.

"Please find your corresponding tablet computer and start experiencing..."

However, before the words behind could be finished, a loud "bang" sounded!

Immediately after, the stage lighting frame suddenly loosened, the lights flickered on and off, and the huge light frame crashed toward Qin Hao Bei, who was in the center of the stage!

At the critical moment, a thin female figure "quick-eyed and fast-handed" pushed Qin Hao Bei away.

"Mmph!"

The light frame crashed heavily onto the woman, and the woman let out a muffled groan, bright red blood spilling from the corners of her mouth. ===== CHAPTER 140 =====
