"At this point, you’re still being stubborn with me."

"Grandpa, I really don’t know."

"I think you won’t cry until you see the coffin." Old Leader Shen looked at him coldly, "Rather than saying Shen Yu dragged our Shen Family into the abyss, it’s more accurate to say it was you. You better never let others find out, or even a thousand cuts won’t relieve the hatred in my heart."

Looking at his grandson before him, Old Leader Shen really felt like strangling him right then and there.

He had spent his life navigating society, experienced all kinds of storms, and in the end, he was outmaneuvered by a grandson he had never paid attention to. And he was plotted against to such a disgraceful extent.

Yet now he could do nothing, couldn’t strangle him with his own hands, couldn’t quench the hatred in his heart. Because his eldest grandson was gone, now the Shen Family could only rely on him.

But how could he possibly be content.

"Grandpa..." Shen Ming was so frightened he kowtowed to the ground, his forehead continuously hitting the floor, making a thumping sound. But he acted as if he didn’t feel the pain, each time hitting harder than the last.

"Forget it!" Old Leader Shen sighed, "Get up! The matter has already passed, after all, you’re my grandson, what can I do about you."

"Thank you, thank you!" Shen Ming secretly sighed with relief, standing up cautiously.

"Sit down."

"Yes!"

Old Leader Shen gave him a lukewarm look, "What did you come for? Speak!"

Originally, Shen Ming had a lot to say; he had it all planned out in his mind. He wanted to move him with emotion and reason to make Grandpa agree to let him continue in the rescue world or enter politics. But now, how could he dare!

"Afraid to speak?"

"No... it’s not that, Grandpa... I just wanted to..."

Old Leader Shen sneered. Such shameless words, he actually knew he couldn’t say them aloud! Truly ridiculous.

"Want to continue in the rescue world?"

Shen Ming was terrified, suddenly widening his eyes at Old Leader Shen, not expecting that none of his plans or intentions could be hidden from him. It was really too frightening. It was all for nothing that he prided himself on being smart, having toyed with Shen Yu.

"Grandpa..." Shen Ming took a deep breath, gathered his courage, and said, "Grandpa, we can’t keep being so passive. Xu Qigang is now the head of the Special Rescue Team, and one day when you’re gone, he will certainly seize the opportunity to take revenge."

"So what?"

"Let me enter the rescue world! You have dedicated so much to the rescue world your whole life; we can’t just exit the historical stage like this."

"And then? Relying on just this won’t convince people. And with just this, whether you go to the rescue world or into politics, it will be hard to excel."

Shen Ming hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth: "Grandpa, I know you’re unwilling too, right? You’ve always been high-spirited; how can you allow your descendants to live like mice, repressed and bullied by others?"

"Even if what you say is right, what difference does it make? With insufficient resources and capabilities, we can only resign ourselves to fate."

"Grandpa, I will succeed. The shame our Shen Family has suffered, I will make our enemies repay." Strong ambition and a light of hatred gleamed in Shen Ming’s eyes. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"You still haven’t grasped the situation." Old Leader Shen shook his head in disappointment, "I thought I was smart all my life, but never expected my son and grandson to be one stupider than the other, so stupid there’s no cure."

"Grandpa..." Shen Ming, though skilled at enduring humiliation, couldn’t stand his grandpa calling him stupid to his face.

"I know your plan. Now the Shen Family’s dormancy is for the sake of self-preservation, right? You didn’t kill me because I’m still useful, and my role is to revive the Shen Family, right?"
