Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 675 - 521: Certainty (5000+, Happy New Year!)
"Am I right, Minister Wu?"
Yin Shixiu asked with a light smile.
In his eyes was a calm resignation, unafraid of anything, which made Wu Rong feel a little uneasy.
"Yes."
Wu Rong responded.
"As long as you’re willing to take the blame, I guarantee your family will be safe. I said before, I never had any intention of harming you or your family."
"It’s just unfortunate that the fire you intended for the Shi Family has now caught me."
"Even animals have the ability to protect themselves, let alone humans."
Yin Shixiu sneered,
"Self-preservation... Wu Rong, Shi Shengde, you look down on people who follow the righteous path. In your eyes, they are hypocrites, feigning dignity and respect..."
"In truth, the ones who always speak of dignity and respect are you."
There was a bruise at the corner of Yin Shixiu’s mouth, and the parts of his body that had been beaten before still ached vaguely.
"At this point, Shixiu, don’t be stubborn. You’re just a businessman."
Wu Rong, seeing that Yin Shixiu’s expression hadn’t softened in the slightest, grew more anxious and impatient,
"You’re an outstanding businessman. How can you maximize your rights and minimize your losses? Surely, you don’t need me to teach you that!"
"..."
"Cooperate with me, and I can assure you that Bai Sidong and all your family won’t—"
"Do you really think I’ll still believe what you say?"
"Do you want Bai Sidong to die because of your stubbornness?!"
"I, Yin Shixiu, am a man, not a god; I can’t save anyone’s life."
"..."
"If Bai Sidong dies, it’s at the hands of you and Shi Shengde, on his post at work, not because of my stubbornness."
Yin Shixiu said calmly.
Wu Rong wanted to put psychological pressure on Yin Shixiu, to make him feel guilty, to make him cooperate righteously and bear the blame.
However, Yin Shixiu truly saw everything clearly, including the severe consequences that might follow.
"It’s really flattering how highly you regard me, Yin Shixiu, by placing such a huge burden on me."
"What about Su Chengji? Since you can’t save anyone’s life, why are you here for Su Chengji?"
Wu Rong slammed the table!
Yin Shixiu gently shook his head and sighed,
"Do you think... I saved Su Chengji’s life?"
"..."
Those present were momentarily stunned by these words.
Yin Shixiu’s eyes grew cold,
"I didn’t save Su Chengji’s life. I merely exchanged my own life for Su Chengji’s life, transferring the risk of death Su Chengji might have borne onto myself."
"..." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"But Yin Shixiu only has one life, and neither you nor Shi Shengde are benevolent enough to let me exchange my life for both Su Chengji and Bai Sidong’s lives out of good will."
"..."
"I am a businessman. I understand the principle of equivalent exchange better than anyone."
Yin Shixiu’s words made Wu Rong nearly grit his teeth in anger.
At this point, he vaguely understood why Shi Shengde’s expression looked so unpleasant when he first entered.
Clearly, things should have been proceeding as planned, so why did he feel so frustrated?
Wu Rong now personally felt the oppressive sensation Shi Shengde had experienced earlier.
Wu Rong’s eyes hardened, instantly filled with a bloodthirsty light,
"Yin Shixiu, don’t be ungrateful! I’ve said all the good things! I haven’t left you without options!"
"It was I who helped you climb to the position of head of the Public Security Bureau. If you can betray even me, I don’t see how Minister Wu can prove that your words are credible..."
"It’s either you die or I perish! You’ve driven things to this point!"
Wu Rong stood up furiously!
He pointed at Yin Shixiu, angrily saying,
"I told you, as long as you take the blame, things won’t implicate me. Since they won’t implicate me, why would I continue to harm you and your family?"
"I’ve also told you, I don’t believe it."
"Fine! You want Bai Sidong to die! Fine, fine, fine! Yin Shixiu, you won’t regret it!"
Wu Rong’s eyes were red as he immediately made a phone call.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yin Shixiu, whose expression remained calm, eyes still unperturbed.
Wu Rong could never have guessed...
Yin Shixiu was already certain in his heart that Bai Sidong was never in their hands.
