Chapter 1922: You Are Mistaken

"He is a fool, that's true, but the people of the Shilaike Family are famous for turning black into white," Qiongsi shook his head and said, "So my worry is still very necessary."

"They want to support someone to take the position of power; even if that person is a pig, they can still succeed."

"Ha, then you are underestimating the strength of your Shilaike Family too much," Chen Yu laughed loudly, "Lao Shilaike and the Elder Council are not people to be trifled with."

"Although the Roy Family is strong, they certainly won't risk both sides suffering to tear things apart with you. In all matters, there will always be room for concessions."

"What's more, if your grandfather really hands the position of Head of Family to that fool, then he will have no face to see the ancestors of your Shilaike Family in the future."

"But Ximeng could take my Life at any time," Qiongsi sighed, "I still have to thank Mr. Chen for everything you have done for me."

"She may never be able to be your enemy again in the future," Chen Yu said leisurely.

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean?" Qiongsi was slightly stunned.

"I chatted with her for a few moments today," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"You... made a move against her?" Qiongsi was startled.

"No, don't talk nonsense," Chen Yu flatly denied, "I just talked to her. When we talked about her son, she appeared very heartbroken."

"In our Traditional Chinese Medicine, sorrow can affect the five internal organs. Added to her old illness, she will contract a cold, and this cold will damage her five Qi, at which point she will be bedridden."

"I understand," Qiongsi suddenly realized. Killing without drawing blood—that is exactly the kind of method Chen Yu uses.

"The Roy Family still has to be reasonable, don't they?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"They... seem to never be reasonable," Qiongsi's expression was somewhat bitter.

Yes, as the most powerful family in the Western World, few people in the Roy Family are reasonable with others.

"You are not entirely correct. It is not that they are not reasonable, but that they rarely reason with people," Chen Yu laughed, "When they encounter people they cannot afford to offend, they will also sit down and reason earnestly."

"Of course, when encountering someone like Mr. Chen, they have no choice but to be reasonable," Qiongsi was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.

"Ximeng won't live long, but that has nothing to do with me. As long as she dies, the hand the Roy Family has reached into your Shilaike Family will be completely severed. Isn't that a very good thing?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"It is indeed... a very good thing," Qiongsi finally realized that Chen Yu was removing the Roy influence in the Shilaike Family for him.

"But..." Qiongsi sighed, "If Ximeng dies, the Roy Family won't just let it go, will they?"

"She died of natural causes; who can be blamed for that? They won't be able to find the cause of death," Chen Yu smiled slightly, "And to the Roy Family, she is nothing more than a tool that can be sacrificed."

"Although this tool is very important to them and is used to keep them in check, they won't fight you to the point of mutual destruction just because one Ximeng dies."

"I understand," Qiongsi nodded, "Then Mr. Chen, how much time does she have left?"

"Half a month," Chen Yu said, "This woman is not to be trifled with. Her hands are stained with the Life of many people. Also, that housekeeper you arranged for me... has gone missing."

"I will send someone to inquire for news," Qiongsi was slightly stunned.

"No need to inquire. She was bought off by your stepmother long ago. She provided some information to your stepmother; I saw through it long ago," Chen Yu said.

"That traitor..." Qiongsi was extremely angry.

The person arranged by Chen Yu's side, while not necessarily a trusted aide, had been investigated through many channels and was considered trustworthy.

But this woman took his money and turned around to defect to Ximeng, which made Qiongsi extremely angry.

"However, she should have no more utility value to Ximeng after this. I think Ximeng is a complete merchant," Chen Yu said, "To her, once there is no utility value, it is not worth continuing to cultivate."

"So she was most likely dealt with secretly by Ximeng, but Ximeng will squeeze out her last drop of blood. This woman is the true capitalist."

"Half a month, I am looking forward to it. This woman has harmed many people; such a way to die is really too easy on her," Qiongsi rubbed his hands.

He was indeed a little excited. It was not that he hadn't thought about how to get rid of this woman before.

But he only thought about it; sometimes he didn't even dare to think about it. After all, that was Ximeng; the women of the Roy Family were all very formidable.

Yet the problem he felt he could never solve in his lifetime, Chen Yu had actually done quietly.

This made him truly excited; after all, his biggest stumbling block in the Shilaike Family was Ximeng.

She was ruthless and vicious. If she were still there, even if he sat in the position of Head of Family, she would most likely still set obstacles for him.

But now there is no need to worry, because this woman... is already about to cease to exist.

"It's just one Ximeng, is she worth you being this excited?" Chen Yu looked at Qiongsi with some confusion.

"Mr. Chen, you are a master; you simply don't understand my current situation," Qiongsi shook his head, "To me, this matter is nothing more than a trivial affair."

"But to me, this is a matter I could not achieve in my entire life."

"I won't interfere in your family's affairs in the future. I think Lao Shilaike certainly wouldn't want me to intervene too much in your affairs," Chen Yu smiled slightly, "Of course, if you have matters you cannot solve, you can come to me at any time."

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Chen," Qiongsi nodded hurriedly.

"By the way, how much do you know about your mentally challenged younger brother?" Chen Yu asked.

"I don't know much. In my impression, he is just a fool who cannot even speak a full sentence," Qiongsi shook his head, "And the fluid in his brain cannot be completely cleared, so his head appears extremely large."

"Is he really a fool?" Chen Yu asked.

"It's true, isn't it?" Qiongsi was stunned, his tone becoming somewhat uncertain, "Since he was born... he has been a fool."

"In all things, one cannot speak too absolutely," Chen Yu smiled slightly, "Before I came, he was your biggest enemy. Didn't you spend any time... getting to know him better?"

"This..." Qiongsi did not know how to answer.

Truthfully, he really hadn't thought about it, but with Chen Yu mentioning it like this, he seemed to have thought of something.

"Hehe, I have no other meaning, don't think too much," Chen Yu laughed, "But the road you have to walk is truly still very long."

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Chen. I will definitely grow well in the future."
