Chapter 465 The Brothers' Last Struggle
Chapter 465 The Brothers' Last Struggle
Chen Shou felt that Chen Shao should have prepared a backup plan, but he did not dare to pin all his hopes on Chen Shao.
So he thought about it carefully and decided to expose the other party's conspiracy first!
The other party deliberately left those words, clearly wanting to make him and Chen Shao the target of public criticism.
If the other party's conspiracy succeeds, he and Chen Shao will probably be killed without a burial place!
So Chen Shou continued to expose the truth, saying, "With so many ships, there's no way they could have disappeared without a sound. But if anyone on the island had sailed out to sea, we'd know about it with a simple investigation.
So you're colluding with outsiders, right? You're letting them take the boat away, waiting for chaos on the island so they can come and kill everyone by surprise!
"You are truly vicious. How has Langhuan Island wronged you? You are actually willing to kill everyone on the island for your own selfish gain?"
Chen Shou doesn't want to become the target of public criticism and be treated as a pawn by these idiots!
So he deliberately exaggerated the situation to make these people lose their composure and become suspicious of each other!
Even if there really is someone secretly colluding on the island, it is impossible for the other party to collude with everyone.
As long as other people don't want to die, they will feel insecure after hearing his speculation!
As expected, as soon as he said this, everyone started looking at each other and became wary of each other.
The entire meeting room fell into silence in an instant.
Chen Shou watched everyone's reactions calmly. Seeing this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and was very satisfied with the result.
He was just about to make further efforts to instigate the issue, when someone suddenly asked in a deep voice:
"That boy is missing! Was he the cause of this trouble?
I heard that he and Luo Zheng are very similar, are they related? "
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who was originally suspicious of each other looked at Chen Shao again with dissatisfied eyes.
In the past, Chen Shao had a bad reputation, so even if they were dissatisfied with him, they did not dare to express it easily.
Today it is different.
Chen Shao became extremely weak, like a sick tiger with its claws pulled out.
Those who were once afraid of him are now eager to tear him to pieces and completely eliminate the trouble!
How could Chen Shou let it go by just a few words?
Many people looked at Chen Shao with murderous eyes.
Chen Shao had long been filled with hatred, but he was now so weak that he did not dare to break off relations with these people.
The other party has already made up their minds to kill, but they just lack a suitable excuse. He must not give them this excuse!
Chen Shao said coldly: "I know what you are worried about. Unfortunately, that young man has an ordinary background and only bears a few similarities with Luo Zheng. There is no way he can bring a strong enemy to Langhuan Island!"
"How does the island owner explain this? He's only been on the island for a short time, and something so serious has already happened? And now he's gone missing!
It's impossible for a living person to disappear out of thin air. I looked carefully and there were no signs of his shackles being forcibly opened. They must have been locked with a key.
So this is strange. Since he is just a young man from an ordinary family, how could a master come all the way to rescue him?
The other party deliberately left such a message and even took away all our ships!
There are so many boats, it’s impossible for one person to take them all away!
A large number of experts must have secretly arrived on the island last night! Apart from the elite Black Qilin Guards, I can't think of any other force capable of sending out so many experts!
Furthermore, if people from other forces came to the island, they would definitely attack us, just to rescue a young boy!"
After this man finished speaking, many people couldn't help but nod in agreement, thinking that what he said made sense.
Seeing the situation getting worse, Chen Shou quickly said, "You're wrong. I'm a wanted criminal of the imperial court. If the elite Black Kirin Guards really come to the island, they will definitely capture me and the island owner!"
So in my opinion, the person on the island is more suspicious. This person knows everything about the island very well, and has many confidants on the island, so he can do all this quietly.
I'm afraid he hid those ships somewhere else, and as for that missing boy..."
Chen Shou sneered disdainfully. It might not be so easy to hide someone on the island, but if the person was caught on a boat and then sunk into the sea after going out to sea, who could find the person in this vast ocean?
This man is quite cunning. Knowing that the young man looks like Luo Zheng, he deliberately devised such a vicious plan, wanting to get rid of us brothers and become the new master of Langhuan Island.
If you fall into this man's trap and help him get rid of us brothers, I'm afraid you will soon follow in our brothers' footsteps and die at his hands.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but become suspicious again, and almost everyone felt insecure.
Chen Shao guessed Chen Shou's plan and said cooperatively, "The most urgent task right now is to search the entire Langhuan Island to prevent the other party from having other conspiracies!
We brothers have become like this anyway. Now we are just fish on your chopping board and have nowhere to escape.
Instead of questioning us here, you might as well try to find some clues and build a few ships as soon as possible.
Langhuan Island is just a small island with limited resources. Now that we have no boats, do you all want to be trapped to death on this island?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but think that what he said made a lot of sense.
Some people even couldn't wait to stand up and go out to look for clues.
But then a scoundrel voice said, "The island owner is right. We really can't just sit here and waste time. We should find a way to find clues and build a ship.
However... it is not impossible that the two of them offended a powerful enemy, lured the enemy to the island, and did all this.
So in my opinion, we need to find the clues and build the boat, but someone must also guard here.
You are of extraordinary status and must know a lot of things that we, a bunch of unsophisticated people, don't know.
Now that you've been poisoned, you don't know how long you can live. If you suddenly die with this secret, what a pity that would be!
So for the sake of us brothers, shouldn't you also tell us those secrets?
We have been with the island master for so long, and have made contributions and worked hard. Could it be that the island master has never treated us as brothers and is unwilling to help us with even such a small favor?"
Chen Shou and Chen Shao's expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.
Although the two men became extremely weak, they were unwilling to die. They just wanted to survive this disaster safely and continue to live for a long time.
What the other party said was tantamount to cursing them to death. How could the two of them feel good?
The leaders present all thought that what he said was very reasonable, so they sent their men to look for clues and build ships, but none of them were willing to leave.
Soon, only the Chen brothers and a dozen leaders were left in the conference room.
At this moment, they looked at the Chen brothers with greedy and explicit eyes, as if they wanted to eat them alive.
Chen Shou and Chen Shao saw through these people's thoughts at a glance, and their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.
The two sides looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly tense.
