Chapter 1915: You Are Just an Ant
"He came here, of course, to stabilize me." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "The Shilaike Family is smarter than I imagined, because they know how to adapt to the times."
"I... don't understand what you mean." Moli was startled.
"It's better if you don't understand. The less you know here, the better it is for you." Chen Yu smiled.
"Mr. Chen..." Just then, Qiongsi hurried over.
"Young Master Qiongsi." Moli bowed slightly.
"You may leave. You are not allowed to enter without my orders." Qiongsi waved his hand.
"Yes." Moli looked at Qiongsi in confusion, then turned and walked out.
"Mr. Chen, I am truly sorry about what happened just now..." Qiongsi bowed slightly: "The Second Elder was truly too offensive toward you..."
"So, I sent him on his way." Chen Yu said indifferently: "You should be preparing his funeral arrangements now, right?"
"This..." Qiongsi paused, then smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, Mr. Chen, we are currently preparing the funeral for the Second Elder."
"It's just that... his body is already shattered, so..."
"It doesn't matter, it was just a life." Chen Yu took a sip of tea: "In my eyes, his death is no different from a group of ants."
"Yes... Mr. Chen, my grandfather and the others are already holding a meeting. The Shilaike Family has always relied on the strong, and the strength you have displayed is far beyond that of the God Lord."
"So they are currently discussing how to turn to you." Qiongsi said.
"There is nothing to discuss. They know exactly what I want." Chen Yu smiled and said: "I also believe they will definitely give me what I want; it's just that they are still weighing the pros and cons."
"The Shilaike Family is too vast, so it is normal for the decision-makers to be cautious." Qiongsi said with a bitter smile: "Please forgive them, Mr. Chen."
"There is nothing to forgive or not forgive. I can receive every word and action of theirs." Chen Yu said indifferently: "So it is best not to come up with a result that I am dissatisfied with, otherwise, they will die."
As Chen Yu spoke, he waved his right hand, and four mysterious symbols appeared in the void beneath his palm; these represented Lao Shilaike and the remaining Elders.
"Eliminating them is just a matter of a flick of a finger. Do you think it is very difficult to wave a hand?"
A string of ellipses appeared in Qiongsi's mind; he was truly frightened by this move of Chen Yu's.
"Can everyone... do this?" Qiongsi couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, but I need to place a Forbidden Curse on them first. And if the opponent's strength is too great, it won't work. But for ordinary people, it is just like wiping away a group of ants with a casual gesture." Chen Yu said indifferently.
"Mr. Chen, please show mercy." Looking at the five symbols floating in mid-air, Qiongsi turned pale with fright. He was truly afraid that Chen Yu would accidentally wipe these symbols away from mid-air.
"You are quite nervous?" Chen Yu glanced at Qiongsi, then smiled slightly and put away the symbols.
"Nervous..." Qiongsi nodded.
"You were very resistant to the Shilaike Family's Eternal Life Project in the past. If these old things died, you would be able to break free from your shackles. Isn't that a good thing?" Chen Yu glanced at him: "Have your thoughts changed now?"
"Because that was my past thinking, and it is already different from my current thinking." Qiongsi shook his head slightly, and he sighed: "The reason the Shilaike Family has been able to reach today..."
"Does not rely solely on individuals. We judge the times and make decisions based on the reality of the situation. The things decided by the Elder Council are all suited to the current circumstances."
"So that's how it is." Chen Yu nodded slightly: "There is a certain logic to your Shilaike Family remaining prosperous for so long."
"Yes, the family, we rise and fall together." Qiongsi bowed deeply: "I hope Mr. Chen will give us this opportunity. Through today's events, I think they already understand how to proceed from here."
"Opportunities are not given by people; they are grasped by oneself." Chen Yu poured a cup of tea and said: "If I am not satisfied with the result of their discussion, then I can only send them on their way."
Qiongsi was unable to speak for a long time. After a while, he sighed and silently prayed that his family's council would go smoothly, as this concerned the future of the Shilaike Family.
After Qiongsi left, Moli flashed in again like a ghost.
"Heard it all?" Chen Yu raised his cup and said indifferently.
"Yes, I heard it all." Moli did not shy away at all, and she said: "You already possess the means to control the Shilaike Family?"
"Controlling a few key figures, doesn't that mean controlling them all?" Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Is this considered a difficult task?"
"It is not considered a difficult task." Moli shook her head slightly, and she said: "I really did not expect that you could achieve this."
"That is how the strong live." Chen Yu laughed: "Are you planning to reveal something to Ximeng?"
Moli did not speak; she remained silent. After a long time, she said: "The Roy Family is different from the Shilaike Family. They possess armed forces, and..."
"And they have the most intimidating weapons, right?" Chen Yu glanced at Moli; he knew that the girl before him was not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
"What I know, you must know even more clearly than I do." Moli nodded.
"Who exactly are you?" Chen Yu glanced at her: "You say you are the daughter of a bankrupt boss, but I don't quite believe that."
"Then what does Mr. Chen think I am like?" Moli asked.
"I can't say." Chen Yu shook his head.
"Then you can at least tell whether I am a bad person, right?" Moli smiled.
"Although Appearance is born from the heart, people who hide too deeply cannot be seen from the surface." Chen Yu said: "You belong to the type of person who hides extremely deeply, so I cannot tell who you really are."
"Haha, I am just an ordinary girl, Mr. Chen must not overthink it." Moli said with a laugh.
"A girl from an ordinary family cannot enter the Shilaike Family." Chen Yu said: "Ximeng gave you quite a few benefits, and she even revealed the secrets of her own family to you. It seems the agreement between you two is not a simple matter."
"It is not as simple as Mr. Chen says; it is nothing more than interests." Moli smiled indifferently: "To put it bluntly, this is a game within the Shilaike Family itself."
"So as an outsider, why do you want to intervene? Perhaps, the benefits Ximeng gave you moved you, but that is not a reason for you to intervene between two great families." Chen Yu said: "These two behemoths are like two large machines; if you are in the middle, you will be crushed to pieces sooner or later."
