Source Of Calamity - Ch 7

Shen Zhen thought about it a lot. From the moment he walked into this room, he was wondering, where did Qin Xing get the news?

When he was talking to the Shen family, the only maid in the room was sent away by him, and he didn’t think that Shen Fu would turn around and sell him out to Qin Xing. Shen Fu didn’t have the courage, and he also had no other path to take.

If they listened to him, the Shen family probably still had a chance of survival. If they didn’t listen to him, and instead used him to show loyalty to Qin Xing, that would be really stupid. Wasn’t that forcing Qin Xing to bypass him and directly take over the Shen family?

It was impossible for Shen Fu to become the head of the Shen family if he didn’t even have these smarts. He had given Shen Fu only one way, one choice, and other than that, all passages have been blocked.

Wait, if not thinking about the process and only thinking about the result, then Qin Xing probably didn’t intend to interfere in the Shen family’s affairs, and at the same time also take the chance to test his nephew.

Shen Zhen understood, his head drooped slightly, looking docile and obedient, and smiled slightly as he said, “Uncle can give me everything, but I have nothing to repay Uncle.”

“Xiao Zhen.” Qin Xing’s tone was full of temptation. His voice was hoarse and charming. Anyone who knew him and also liked the male sex would be willing to spend even just a night with him. This male charm could be raised to the extreme with just a simple gesture or suggestive remark, “Don’t meddle in Ah Yue’s affairs.”

Shen Zhen nodded. He also had no power not to: “What Uncle says, I will do.”

He desperately needed Qin Xing’s support, and for this reason, he did not resist playing the good baby for a while.

How much he sacrificed now would be compensated doubly in the future.

Qin Xing’s tone didn’t change: “You want to see what Ah Yue will do when he has power then Uncle will give you this opportunity. You want to see Ah Yue and Ah Li shed all pretense of cordiality, Uncle will not stop it either. You want the Shen family to be consigned to eternal damnation, Uncle eill be glad to see it happen.”

“But Xiao Zhen, don’t treat everyone as a fool.”

“The faster you move, the more flaws there will be. Even if they are still blinded by your previous image, they will soon see that something is wrong.” Qin Xing, “Smart children will make mistakes, but compared with stupid ones, smart children are more reluctant to admit their mistakes.”

Shen Zhen’s hands and feet were cold, he raised his head, then stood up suddenly, and bowed respectfully to Qin Xing.

His eyes were calm, but the corners of his mouth were trembling, and there was a trace of fear and excitement in his tone that he didn’t even notice.

Fear kept his mind calm, excitement made his blood boil.

“Uncle, teach me!”

Qin Xing didn’t like to teach people, but everyone he taught was outstanding, whether it was the current leading Internet entrepreneur, the food tycoon, or the future head of the Qin family, Qin Yue, every student he taught proved his unique vision and ability.

And now, Qin Xing was teaching him.

It was as if he had always been an average passing student, and no one believed that he had the ability to get full marks.

But suddenly the most powerful boss in the industry said his papers were the best.

This was more than any compliment that could make Shen Zhen’s heart swell!

“You made a good move.” Qin Xing didn’t tell him to sit down, “the Shen family can only choose to rely on Qin Yue, and when Qin Yue takes over the Shen family, naturally he will have to guarantee their interests in front of me, but why do you think that Uncle won’t even have this bit of magnanimity?”

“That’s my nephew, the successor I trained, so don’t mention a Shen family, even if there were a few more, compared to Qin Yue, they are all insignificant.”

“Just like you know that in front of you, those small families are not important, so why do you think the Shen family is important?”

Shen Zhen clenched his fists.

He was just certain that Qin Xing didn’t like the feeling of having his authority being overstepped by a junior.

He was actually…..just making a gamble.

“Do you think Qin Yue does not also understand?” Qin Xing said with a smile, “You think he is so stupid? If he can’t even see through such a simple trap, why would he become the successor of the Qin family? Are you doubting my vision?”

“Uncle.” Shen Zhen gritted his teeth and said, “I can only give it a try.”

Qin Xing shook his head: “Wrong, your first step was wrong. Since you have decided to hand over the Shen family to Ah Yue, why not do so from the beginning?”

“You should have let Ah Yue directly make contact himself.” Qin Xing, “You have been staying with the Qin family and haven’t been in contact with the Shen family over these years, so Ah Yue should be at ease with you. You only need to express slightly that you don’t know how to deal with the Shen family and, Ah Yue will naturally take over.”

“Only what you take yourself is yours.”

Shen Zhen digested the lesson.

He indeed…..took the wrong step.

“I know I’m wrong.” Shen Zhen put his position at the lowest level, “but I still have a chance to rectify the mistake. I’ll let the Shen family send a press release now, cut off all ties with me, and I’ll also indirectly disclose the news to the people close to Qin Li’s fiancee, and this first step can be saved.”

“Xiao Zhen, look at me.” Qin Xing’s words were full of the oppressiveness from a superior, an order that was unable to be resisted.

Shen Zhen raised his head, and saw Qin Xing’s eyes.

Like a deep well of calm water, but there was an astonishing ambition hidden within its depths.

Qin Xing: “What made you change?”

Shen Zhen didn’t lie: “Uncle, I have to grab something, grab what belongs to me, I have to stand on my own.”

He didn’t want to be a vassal, a vassal of the Shen family, a vassal of the Qin family, he wanted to be an independent person with dignity and a future.

He also had to admit that his thinking on everything was too simple.

Qin Xing suddenly smiled: “I thought it was my credit.”

Shen Zhen flattered naturally: “It’s thanks to Uncle who is willing to teach me.”

“Xiao Zhen, don’t worry.” Qin Xing said, “Take your time.”

Shen Zhen pursed his lips: “Uncle, I don’t understand.” He didn’t understand why he was on his side.

Qin Xing just smiled and said, “You will understand.”

When he left Qin Xing’s room, Shen Zhen felt like he was drunk. He was extremely excited and nervous. He felt that he was like the mermaid dancing on the tip of a knife. Every step was so painful, yet so thrilling, so free and unrestrained!

He felt as if a door that had never been opened to him, finally opened up.

“Your smile is so lewd.” Qin Meng was taken aback by Shen Zhen’s expression, and then said with fright, “Could it be that Uncle made you…..”

“Impossible! Isn’t Uncle an asexual?!”

Shen Zhen had yet to return to his senses, but just repeated Qin Meng’s words: “Asexual…..”

Qin Meng thought that Shen Zhen didn’t know, and explained: “Refers to those who don’t have sexual impulses for men or women! I actually heard about it from my friends. I think that Uncle is such a person.”

Shen Zhen glanced at Qin Meng. This kid at least knew to put it from another angle, and didn’t just holler that Qin Xing might be impotent.

Qin Meng elbowed Shen Zhen with his arm, winked and said, “I’m really not just saying, people who want to sleep with Uncle can fill a company. I heard that when Uncle was studying abroad, he attracted both men and women, and those people willingly volunteered to do things for Uncle, and I heard that there was even a wealthy young master who ruined his own family business in the process.”

Shen Zhen really had a headache for Qin Meng’s EQ and IQ.

How could he actually believe this!

Qin Xing was such a proud person. He probably used brutal means to make those people have no choice but to obey him, and even made them fall out with their own family.

Just when Shen Zhen was thinking about whether to go back to his room as soon as possible to get escape Qin Meng’s nagging, Qin Yue came over. And for once there was no shadow of Su Shiqing beside him.

Qin Li also came over.

It was normal for Qin Li to hate Qin Yue. Without Qin Yue, he would have been the eldest young master of the Qin family, then his stupidity would become innocence, his viciousness would become knowing how to make the right choice, and all his shortcomings would become advantages.

But the appearance of Qin Yue contrasted him into a bland and mediocre person without any shining point.

Putting himself in the other’s shoes, Shen Zhen felt that if he was Qin Li, he would definitely hate Qin Yue down to the bone.

It was just that unlike Qin Li, he would not swallow his anger. Before Qin Yue had the chance to become an adult, he would definitely get rid of Qin Yue, even if he was discovered.

When Qin Yue was dead, even if Qin Li was discovered, Qin Xing would not scold him, and would probably praise him for his opportunism.

But Qin Li only dared to make small moves behind his back, or make sarcastic and jeering remarks to Qin Yue’s face, but he didn’t dare to think of killing Qin Yue at all.

From the moment Qin Yue became an adult, Qin Li had already completely lost.

When Shen Zhen looked at Qin Li it was even with sympathy in his eyes.

An unintelligent person might not live very badly. In a different environment, Qin Li could probably become an ordinary office worker with an ordinary family. There might be some minor friction among family members, but he could live out his days in peace.

His shortcomings might be harmless in another environment, but here, in the Qin family, it was fatal.

Qin Meng might be very afraid of Qin Xing, but he had no fear of his two older brothers. He saw the two of them coming over and said in Shen Zhen’s ear: “Watch, Second Brother is going to humiliate himself again.”

The Qin family regarded Qin Li’s provocation towards Qin Yue as an amusing show to be watched.

“Xiao Zhen.” Qin Yue walked over first, “Ah Meng.”

Qin Meng was still very respectful: “Eldest Brother.”

Shen Zhen: “Eldest Brother is sweating, was it tiring today?”

Shen Zhen never cared about Qin Yue like this before, he would not express his care like this, and would only help Qin Yue to do things silently.

Since there was no benefit to doing real and practical things, then it was just enough to say a few bland words.

Qin Yue’s expression softened a lot: “Not tiring, Xiaozl Zhen went to see Uncle?”

Shen Zhen patted the seat beside him and motioned for Qin Yue to come and sit: “Yeah, Uncle asked me about going to the Shen family’s house today.”

After all, there was another Qin Meng by his side, so it was normal for Shen Zhen not to continue.

Qin Yue nodded.

“How rare, the extremely busy person actually comes back for once.” Qin Li, as always, used his straightforward and simple brain to provoke Qin Yue, “How come I hear that the extremely busy person hit a hard nail today? After taking so many shortcuts using the name of the Qin family, you finally know that it’s not easy to do things by yourself?”

“Don’t think that because of Uncle’s preference, everyone will give you face.”

Qin Yue didn’t say anything yet, but Shen Zhen spoke first: “This doesn’t need to bother Second Brother, even if Eldest Brother hits a nail, it is an experience, unlike someone, who doesn’t even have the chance to hit a nail.”

With Qin Li’s brain, it was not easy for him to be coaxed, but it was easy for him to be provoked. He rolled up his sleeves and strode over in two to three large steps: “Shen Zhen, don’t think I dare not touch you, who do you think you are? In the Qin family, you are just a plaything, giving you three points of face, and you really believe that you are actually an important character!”

Shen Zhen didn’t move, but replied naturally: “Yeah, I’m just a plaything, but you just happen to be unable to touch this plaything.”

Qin Li was infuriated and rushed over to start a brawl.

Qin Yue grabbed Qin Li’s arm and threw him over his shoulder. Qin Yue was then pressed to the ground by Qin Yue.

His arm was bent and suppressed by Qin Yue, and the bones seemed to be about to be broken, but Qin Li didn’t dare to scream, his eyes bulged and he could only keep struggling.

Qin Yue was expressionless and said calmly, “Second Brother, Xiao Zhen is right. You can mess with me, but you can’t mess with him.”

Qin Li growled unwillingly: “Lunatic! You are all lunatics!”

Qin Yue looked back at Shen Zhen, who was looking at Qin Li’s face angrily.

Qin Yue’s eyes squinted slightly.

He didn’t expect that Shen Zhen would be this protective of him, perhaps…..Shen Zhen’s sincerity should have some weight.

This weight was not necessarily lighter than Su Shiqing’s.

AN: Shen Zhen: “Don’t, it’s much lighter. He is a 300-pound pig. I’m a hydrogen balloon that you can’t keep hold of.”
