Chapter 1630: Huo Zhenteng is just a high-level puppet

Feisu Chinese.

Zihan's "painstaking efforts" did not yield the desired results; not only did he fail to win his brothers' sympathy, but he also invited their cold sarcasm.

"This is just him crying for us to see."

"Oh, first he tries to make Mother soften her heart, then he tries to use brotherly affection to move us. Not bad, killing two birds with one stone."

Zihan stopped crying and said angrily, "Do you two have any brotherly love at all? Can you not be like this?"

"Did we say something wrong?"

"Not at all."

"It's just as Mother said: you have to solve your own problems. We are just watching you grow!"

"Besides, you are already 18 years old; it's an age where you should take responsibility."

"Mom also said that if you can't solve this matter, you will have to cover your own tuition and living expenses from now on."

"Exactly, you have money anyway, so it's no problem."

Sheng Zihan:...

This blocked off all of Zihan's paths of retreat.

It was true that he had money, but he was very stingy and unwilling to spend his own.

The Sheng Family.

Shi Youxuan asked her husband, "Do you really have to do this? Others can cooperate with you, but how do you know Zihan will follow your plan?"

Sheng Hanyu was very certain: "Of course he will do that, because he is my son."

Shi Youxuan:...

This was also the part she couldn't understand at all. Since the mastermind's target was the Sheng Family, or even several major groups, why were the two of them letting go and letting Zihan solve it himself?

She reminded him, "Zihan is different from the others. Since he was a child, he has been glib and the best at being opportunistic..."

Her husband interrupted her, "That's why I'm doing this. Now is the best opportunity."

Both parents were clear about Zihan's abilities, which was to say, he had no real abilities.

And the mastermind behind the scenes should be a cunning person or a team. Letting Zihan go solve it still felt too casual to Shi Youxuan.

Sheng Hanyu said, "The other party knows us very well. They know my personality and your usual methods like the back of their hand. The only person here they don't understand is Zihan."

Sometimes when a layman handles an expert's affairs, it is easier to defeat a master with wild, chaotic punches; perhaps it will yield unexpected results.

"Can he do it?" Shi Youxuan was still worried, but she agreed.

And so, the heartless scene above took place.

Zihan was backed into a corner. He locked himself in his dormitory for a whole day to think, and he came up with a plan.

The three brothers gathered together again.

Zihan said very solemnly, "No matter what I do next, you must not forget that I am your brother. We share a deep bond of blood; we are connected even if our bones are broken. No matter what happens, you cannot abandon me..."

"Can you just get to the point of what you want to do?" Zirui interrupted him.

Zihan glared at him, "What do I want to do? Don't you have any idea in your heart?"

The two were twins; their personalities were incompatible, but their minds were in sync. Whatever one wanted to do, the other knew.

Zirui played dumb, "I have no idea, you tell me."

"I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to Big Brother."

He pulled his big brother aside and rambled on for a while. Zichen just listened to him ramble with a smile; it was all nonsense, not a single useful word.

It was all about worrying that they wouldn't be brothers anymore in the future; he was afraid his family would really abandon him.

This younger brother of his was actually quite cute and harmless; no wonder so many girls liked him.

The nonsense finally finished, and Zihan stated his idea: "I'm holding a press conference this afternoon to announce that I am severing all ties with you all, wuu wuu..."

After saying this, he started to cry, crying miserably.

Zichen:...

Zirui:...

Zihan held a press conference and announced that he was leaving the Sheng Family and was no longer a member of the Sheng Family; his affairs had nothing to do with the Sheng Family!

Just an hour ago, photos of the families having a barbecue together had spread through high society.

The families' stocks were saved. The business world wasn't interested in the love and hatred between young people; they were more interested in whether the relationships between the major groups were stable.

The timing of Zihan's press conference was just right. The crisis between the elders had just been resolved, and his press conference made everyone feel his sense of responsibility and resilience.

When encountering problems, he didn't look for excuses to absolve himself, but bravely stood up to sacrifice his small self for the sake of others.

He also stated that all the mistakes were caused by him and had nothing to do with the two girls; they were both good people, and it was all his own fault...

This move by Zihan actually achieved unexpected results.

The people originally paying attention to this matter were mostly university students, all young people, who found it easier to understand each other.

Many people originally supported Tian Yuanyuan, feeling that she dared to love and hate, and was clear about what she loved and what she hated.

There were also many people who envied Wang Qing, and Tian Yuanyuan was also scolded for being petty, with this one matter dragging on endlessly.

People's focus was pulled back, and they started a war surrounding the emotional entanglements of the three!

The young people were filled with righteous indignation, focusing only on the emotional issues. There were tens of thousands of comments online; the emotional entanglements of young people were so much fun, and since the "misunderstandings" of the older generation had already been resolved, they naturally lost their appeal.

In an ordinary house.

The room was decorated very simply; there were walls on all four sides, with no decorations at all.

The curtains were ordinary dark blue and were drawn tightly, so not a single bit of light from outside could penetrate.

There were no lights on in the room either. A man wearing a mask sat in a wheelchair, staring at the screen in front of him, his tone calm.

"Not bad, this Shi Youxuan really knows how to raise children; all the children in her family have turned out quite promising, even the one who seemed the most useless is actually very reliable."

Huo Zhenteng stood behind him.

Respectful yet looking puzzled: "Boss, isn't the Sheng Family your enemy? Why are you praising him?"

"I praise him because he is truly a talent."

"Don't let emotions dictate your actions; do I still need to teach you such a simple principle?"

Huo Zhenteng immediately stated his position: "You are right to teach me, I will remember it."

"Can he be used by us?"

The masked man: "No, he must be destroyed. You know how to do that, right?"

"Then Sheng Zichen..."

"Don't be impatient. You have to eat one bite at a time, and do things one by one. There is a saying in Jiangzhou: if you are too impatient, you can't eat hot tofu. I have the time and patience to play with them, and I will play them to death one by one!"

"Alright, then Boss, what should we do now?"

"No rush for now. Let me think. You go out first; let them think they have won so they will become complacent, and only when they are complacent can they lose their guard... Only when they let their guard down can we proceed with the next steps."

"Very well, Boss." Huo Zhenteng went out respectfully.

The door was closed gently; his boss did not like light and preferred the darkness, as he only felt safe in a dark environment.

He had known him for several months, yet he had never even seen his boss's true face.

But none of that mattered; as long as there was money, what did it matter what he looked like?

It didn't matter.
