Chapter 380: Chapter 0380: Equivalent Exchange (First Update)

Honda Sakura’s lips slowly curled into a satisfied smile, "Mr. Shen is indeed a decisive person. Actually, my condition isn’t high."

She paused deliberately, leaned in slightly, and said slowly and clearly: "I want the First-level Earth Ganoderma of the Shen Family."

Shen Xianming looked at her with surprise, almost subconsciously asking: "How do you know the Shen Family has First-level Earth Ganoderma?"

Honda Sakura shrugged her shoulders, "That’s not something you need to worry about. We just hope to get the Earth Ganoderma from the Shen Family, and as for what we can offer in exchange, we’ll help you get through this difficult time."

Shen Xianming became even more astonished, "What do you mean?"

He inexplicably felt that in front of Honda Sakura, he was completely transparent, feeling as if Honda Sakura saw him thoroughly.

"Of course, I mean exactly what I said. Mr. Shen, you don’t know that Old Mrs. Shen has already woken up?" Honda Sakura looked at Shen Xianming with contempt in her eyes.

If it weren’t for this man’s usefulness, she wouldn’t bother with such an idiot.

At this moment, Shen Xianming also felt something strange. He felt as though he had fallen into a trap that someone had willingly set.

Of course, Shen Xianming knew that Old Mrs. Shen had already woken up; otherwise, he wouldn’t have fled in such a panic.

Shen Xianming didn’t speak. Watching Honda Sakura’s confident demeanor, he seemed to understand something. "Could it be that my mother has been in a coma all these years because of you?"

Honda Sakura shook her head, "Although I was involved, sealing Old Mrs. Shen’s meridians isn’t something I can do."

At this time, Shen Xianming finally understood, which is why he always found Old Mrs. Shen’s collapse too inexplicable.

So they were the ones scheming!

Initially, he only resented Old Mrs. Shen for her sudden change of attitude towards him, but he never really wanted to take her life.

Moreover, what he did was just to drug Old Mrs. Shen. Those drugs would not be fatal, but they could still cause significant harm to the body.

Still, to this day, Shen Xianming believed that the reason why the lady had been bedridden for so long was because of him.

Now he realized that he had inadvertently done the groundwork for others.

"Do you really think I would agree to our cooperation?"

Shen Xianming sidestepped the discussion, looking at Honda Sakura with some disdain. She had used him as a pawn, and now she was trying to make him feel indebted to her for protection.

Shen Xianming silently looked to the heavens, wondering what kind of misfortune had befallen him to have been unknowingly used for so many years.

While feeling angry and indignant, Shen Xianming’s gaze at Honda Sakura became even more sinister.

"How did you use me?" He couldn’t believe that with Honda Sakura’s abilities alone, she could infiltrate the Shen Family and poison them without their knowledge.

Honda Sakura seemed to see through Shen Xianming’s thoughts, her lips curling into a mocking smile, "In half an hour, you’ll see a very exciting scene unfold, I’m sure it will excite you."

Seeing that she had no intention to explain, Shen Xianming’s anger became harder to suppress, but he was holding it back because he knew that as soon as Old Mrs. Shen woke up, his deeds would be exposed.

He had no reason or evidence to prove his innocence, so he was prepared to trust Honda Sakura this one time.

Half an hour; short for some, but for Shen Xianming, it was a prolonged agony.

Shen Xianming kept watching the time and as soon as it was up, he immediately asked: "Didn’t you say you had a surprise to show me? What surprise?"

Honda Sakura laughed softly, "Mr. Shen, don’t be in such a hurry, the show has just started."

Saying that, she turned on her phone’s video and put it in front of Shen Xianming, chuckling, "Take your time and enjoy, Mr. Shen."

The phone’s display showed the Tang Family mansion, but the normally bustling and splendid Tang residence looked lifeless now, creepy.

Shen Xianming didn’t understand what Honda Sakura wanted him to see, but out of curiosity, he quietly watched.

In a while, the Tang Family seemed to be enveloped by a black, lid-like gas. He could clearly see the trees in the courtyard wilting and decaying rapidly.

Shen Xianming’s eyes widened in shock as he stared unblinkingly at the screen, "What’s going on?"

Honda Sakura shrugged nonchalantly and smiled, "It is as you see. We have brought the Tang Family under control. So, now do you believe we have that ability?"

Shen Xianming looked at her doubtfully. Since he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes on-site, he was skeptical of what Honda Sakura said.

Honda Sakura’s expression was indifferent. Her eyes gestured for him to keep watching, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it. You can keep watching. If the video isn’t enough for you, we can go to the scene."

Go to the scene? To the Tang Family?

Shen Xianming’s lips curled in a cold sneer. He was already struggling to protect himself; why would he care about the fate of others?

Besides, the Tang Family had had a feud with the Shen Family, but for some reason, Shen Wei Qian, that old fool, suddenly made peace with them and even reached a consensus to cooperate for mutual benefit.

Being inherently suspicious, within just a few seconds, Shen Xianming had thought of countless possibilities, "Isn’t this video something you prepared in advance to fool me? And what can this bit of black gas even do to them?"

Shen Xianming was full of doubts about her words and had no intention of getting up and following her to the scene.

After all, what did the fate of the Tang Family have to do with him?

Honda Sakura, seeing his indifference to the serious damage inflicted on the Tang Family, was convinced that an agreement had been reached between the two families, so she must dissolve it.

"This bit of black gas might not do much, but it can keep a person in a coma for many years."

Honda Sakura’s one sentence made Shen Xianming fear retrospectively. Fortunately, he had not completely fallen out with Honda Sakura back then; otherwise, he would be the one lying in the hospital now.

But he still had questions, "Why did you target my mother?"

Honda Sakura chuckled, "Why else? Of course, it was to help you clear your greatest obstacle."

Honda Sakura raised her hand, her cool fingers gently covering his. "You abandoned me so heartlessly back then, but I still couldn’t bring myself to be cruel to you. I couldn’t bear to hurt you. Now seeing you in danger, I try to help in every way possible. But, as you know, these people are not within my control. What they need is an equal exchange."
