Chapter 99: Any means necessary

Shang Xiaomin paced back and forth in the study room excitedly.

He suddenly shook his head.

"no."

Having smallpox is not necessarily a death sentence, and many people can survive it.

There was someone around him...

"If I let my spies give me a push now..."

Hearing his words, Cheng Shengxuan widened his eyes in disbelief, but only for a moment, and his expression quickly returned to normal.

He sneered in his heart.

He really is unscrupulous!

"Your Highness, you can't do that!"

Shang Xiaomin turned his head and looked at him, his eyes filled with confusion and scrutiny.

"Why?"

Why?!

Is there any need to ask this?

This is simply insane!

"The king is already wary of Your Highness, so it is better to avoid trouble than to cause any trouble at this time."

"The most urgent task is to make things difficult for the Second Prince in his mission and to change the King's opinion of Your Highness as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Shang Xiaomin nodded.

"Brother Shengxuan is right. The winter hunt in five days will proceed according to our previous plan."

"I'd like to trouble Brother Shengxuan to take care of this matter."

Cheng Shengxuan bowed slightly to him.

"Then I will take my leave first."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

After Cheng Shengxuan left, Shang Xiaomin returned to his desk and sat down.

The personal guard Aoki walked in.

"Your Highness, this is the news sent back by our people."

Shang Xiaomin took it and was about to open it when he suddenly noticed the guard still kneeling on the ground.

"What else do you want to say?"

The guard looked at him cautiously.

"Your Highness just said that you can tell Master Cheng about future news..."

Aoki interrupted him.

"You will do whatever His Highness orders you to do, but as a guard of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, you must always remember your status and be careful!"

So, should I tell you or not?!

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Although he still didn't understand, the guard didn't have the courage to continue asking. He nodded repeatedly, got up from the ground and walked out.

"It would be great if everyone in this mansion could be as smart as you."

Shang Xiaomin sighed and gave Qingmu a look.

Aoki nodded in understanding.

It seems that the guard cannot be kept.

After reading the letter, Shang Xiaomin lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, then handed the letter to Qingmu.

Aoki's face turned ugly.

"Your Highness, Chen Ying hasn't contacted us during this period of time, and we asked him to secretly control the women of the Cheng family, but he hasn't responded. Could it be that he has changed his mind?"

"snort!"

Shang Xiaomin sneered.

"How can he get on my ship whenever he wants or get off whenever I want?"

Thinking of what happened just now, a cold look appeared in his eyes.

Cheng Shengxuan is indeed a capable person, but many of his ideas run counter to his own. He is too principled.

If such a person keeps around, there will be too many uncertainties. He can only feel at ease if the Cheng family is under his control.

After thinking about it, Shang Xiaomin said coldly.

"Then let's show our sincerity again."

As he said this, he waved at Aoki, motioning him to come closer.

"Go contact the spy in the Second Brother's mansion and ask him to do something..."

…

Cheng Shengxuan returned to the room, checked around, and after finding no one else, he took out the jade pendant.

He pointed at the small transparent cube in the air.

If someone broke in at this moment, they would definitely be scared by his strange actions.

Cheng Shengxuan's brows were furrowed and his expression was serious. If you didn't know him well, you would think he was thinking about some huge problem.

In fact, he was deleting and subtracting in the dialog box, writing a sentence and then deleting a sentence and a half.

Finally, he wrote down two words solemnly and clicked send.

…

On the other side, Anluo was having a video conference with the foundation's staff when he suddenly heard his cell phone vibrate.

I picked it up and saw that it was a message from Cheng Shengxuan.

"Wait a moment, I'll send you a message."

On the other end of the video, several people in the conference room looked at each other.

What's the important news?

Is it worth the boss interrupting the meeting?

Linlin gave a few people a meaningful look.

It doesn't matter what the message is; what matters to me is the person who sends the message.

Afterwards, they saw Anluo taking a deep breath, as if he was suppressing his anger.

Everyone: "???"

What happened?

Anluo thought something important had happened, so he clicked on it and saw:

Are you there?

No, brother, if you have something to say, just say it!

I interrupted my speech at the meeting, thinking it was some urgent matter related to my baby.

You ended up sending a 'Are you there?'

She typed a few words in frustration.

Then he put the phone heavily on the desk.

Said to several people in the video.

"Let's continue with the funding project from last month..."

This side of Dayin.

Hearing a ding-dong sound, Cheng Shengxuan quickly clicked to check.

An Luo: Cheng Sitao is out with Yu An on some business and is not here right now. If you have any urgent matters, please leave a message and I will pass it on later.

Such a businesslike tone?

"Why do you sound angry?"

He wrote another long paragraph, talking about what had happened in the capital in the past few days, and also talked about the cruelty of Shang Xiaomin and the plan for winter hunting in five days.

Then I waited expectantly for a reply.

But this time, I had to wait until midnight.

In fact, it was not that Anluo deliberately replied so late, it was just that Cheng Sitao was busy and did not come home until midnight.

On the other side, Cheng Shengxuan was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, waiting for news.

Why haven't you replied to me yet?

Didn't you see it?

Or did he forget?

Or should he send another one?

But it was already late, would it disturb her rest?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a notification sound. Almost at the same time, he sat up suddenly and clicked on the message.

Anluo: Cheng Sitao said your plan is very good, remember to be safe.

be safe.

She told me to be careful.

Is she concerned about me?

Cheng Shengxuan's face flushed red, and his earlobes were so red that they seemed to be dripping with blood.

He touched his chest, which was beating violently.

He tried hard to calm his breathing and heartbeat, and finally lay down again.

Just as I was about to close my eyes, another message came.

An Luo: Winter hunting? It sounds like fun. Let's have a video chat on that day. I also want to see the excitement. Is that convenient?

Video!

I can see her again.

Cheng Shengxuan covered his heart which was beating wildly. The temperature on his face, which had just subsided, instantly rose again, and his face was even redder than before.

He stretched out his hand and wrote a word, pausing each stroke, feeling his fingertips getting hot.

"good."

"What's good?"

A voice suddenly sounded in his ear, startling Cheng Shengxuan.

When he turned around, he saw Chu Yuan staring at him suspiciously.

"What are you doing?!"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? Why are you standing here, awake so late at night?"

Cheng Shengxuan's heart skipped a beat.

"You, saw everything?"

Chu Yuan nodded.

"When I came in, I saw you sitting here, gesticulating with your hands and saying something like 'OK'."

Chu Yuan sat over and bumped into his shoulder.

"What's going on?"

It seemed that he didn't see anything either.

Cheng Shengxuan patted the place he had just touched in annoyance.

"I'm swatting mosquitoes!"

Then he shook the quilt twice, fanned Chu Yuan away, and lay down with his head down.

"I'm sleepy, don't disturb me!"

"No, then what should I do?"

Cheng Shengxuan turned his head towards him.

"Either sleep on the floor or get out!"

Chu Yuan took a deep breath and waved his fist at him.

Then he resigned himself to his fate and walked towards the desk, ready to make do with the chair.

After taking just two steps, he stopped and scratched the back of his head.

"That's not right. Where do the mosquitoes come from in the middle of winter?"
