Chapter 1684 1687: Even a Tiger May Eat Its Cubs
Alger asked again, "But your son was beaten like that by Xu Hao, don't you want revenge?"
"Revenge? Of course, I want revenge, but I know I can't, at least not now, because that would put our Shi Family in great danger. The Lü Family is a precedent, and I can't let the hard-earned ancestral foundation be destroyed in my hands!
Besides, Shi Changdong doesn't understand the ancestral teachings enough. If the Shi Family were in his hands, something would go wrong sooner or later. Now, the candidate for the next family head of the Shi Family has already changed." Shi Ran said these words with a calm expression.
Tu Yilong snorted coldly, "It seems you don't care about your eldest son's life or death, you're really cold-blooded!"
"Those who achieve great things can't be bothered with trivial matters. Sacrificing the small family to protect the ancestral foundation is a common occurrence." Shi Ran once again said calmly.
But was he really willing in his heart?
Of course not!
But what he knows even more is that as the Patriarch of the Shi Family, he must make a choice.
Shi Changdong's temperament can't change, it's in his bones.
No matter how good the family teachings are, or how strict the family discipline is, for someone who doesn't know caution in their bones, it's all useless.
He might disguise well on regular days, but when things happen, his nature is exposed.
Upon hearing Shi Ran's explanation, Lion King Barney and others fell silent, and Tu Yilong was left speechless.
Isn't Shi Ran ruthless?
No, he is very ruthless!
As the saying goes, 'Even a tiger won't eat its cubs,' but Shi Ran is now pushing his own son into the Abyss of death.
However, what he said was not wrong.
Because if a family or a force wants to develop long-term, it must eliminate all unfavorable factors and remove everyone who negatively impacts its development.
A thousand-mile dyke can be destroyed by an ant's nest, and Shi Changdong is now an ant's nest for the Shi Family.
As the Patriarch of the Shi Family, Shi Ran must always be vigilant and, at critical times, know how to sacrifice pawns to save the queen.
Tu Yilong sighed slightly and said, "Ruthless, truly ruthless! As expected of the Patriarch of the Shi Family. I always knew the Shi Family people were very cautious, so I thought working with you would be worry-free, but I didn't expect you to be cautious enough to ally with your enemies against your allies! Blame me, blame me for being too naïve!"
Shi Ran shook his head slightly and said, "There's no choice. If we could, who would want to do these things? It's all just to survive, Third Young Master Tu, I'm sorry for today."
Zhou Shuran was already stunned.
Her young mind was deeply shocked at this moment.
She never expected such things to happen.
Just now Shi Ran was shouting to attack and kill Xu Hao, and now he is fighting alongside Xu Hao.
Is this...not a dream?
To confirm whether it was a dream, she pinched Xu Hao's waist, where the Formation was rearranged.
Xu Hao immediately grabbed her small hand and said, "Miss Zhou, what do you want to do? You're harassing me."
No matter how Zhou Shuran struggled, she couldn't break free, so she simply stopped struggling and said, "I just feel what's happening now is too ridiculous, it feels like a dream, so I thought of pinching you to confirm."
"Then why don't you pinch yourself?" Xu Hao asked.
"Do you think I'm stupid? Pinching myself hurts, pinching you doesn't make me feel the pain." Zhou Shuran replied matter-of-factly.
"Oh? It seems Miss Zhou is asking for trouble. To truly let you feel whether this is a dream, I think I should give you a little stimulus..."
Xu Hao raised his eyebrow slightly and glanced sideways at Zhou Shuran.
Zhou Shuran immediately shouted "No" and struggled hard, still shouting, "Big bad guy Xu, if you dare spank me here, I'll never be done with you... ah!"
Xu Hao released his hand, pinned Zhou Shuran on his lap, and raised his hand to slap down, causing Zhou Shuran to cry out immediately.
But she suddenly felt that shouting like this was inappropriate, quickly covering her mouth.
But even so, everyone still heard her cries.
The people of Xuanmen were momentarily speechless. This was their current senior sister!
But in front of Xu Hao, she had no power to resist and was subdued in minutes.
Was the gap between the two of them too large?
And wasn't her current cry somewhat shameful?
After Xu Hao let go of Zhou Shuran, Zhou Shuran looked at Xu Hao with a face full of resentment, weakly saying, "Now... now only seven are left, right?"
"No, there are still eight." Xu Hao smiled slightly.
"But... but I remember there were only seven left?" Zhou Shuran immediately retorted.
"I said there are still eight, so there are eight. What? Do you want to go again, so there's only seven left?" Xu Hao glanced sideways at Zhou Shuran, not forgetting to rub his hands expectantly.
