570: The overall situation? I am the overall situation!

Shen Bei rushed directly to Xu Sheng's house, but was stopped halfway by Bi Kun.

"You can't show your Face," Bi Kun said, stopping Shen Bei.

"Xu Sheng is my man, I can't leave him," Shen Bei replied to Bi Kun, about to bypass him.

Don't mess things up!

Why are you, an outsider, bothering with activating the panel?

Are you crazy?

Bi Kun said, "You've brought out the imperial ancestor's edict, and we Night Watchers have become targets.

At this moment, who knows how many people are plotting against us, we are treading on thin ice.

Unless we understand their purpose, we absolutely cannot show our Face easily."

Shen Bei replied, "What other purpose could there be? Either they're targeting me, or they're targeting the Night Watchers."

Bi Kun said, "Since you know, then you absolutely cannot go.

At this time, we should be even more cautious and not act impulsively.

Because if we make one wrong step, we Night Watchers might suffer a huge setback."

Bi Kun's expression was solemn, blocking Shen Bei's path and trying to dissuade him from going.

From the moment Shen Bei brought out the ancient texts from the bottom of the box, every move of the Night Watchers had been under a magnifying glass.

This matter with Xu Sheng was clearly a trap; how could Shen Bei rush into it so recklessly?

"So, we just watch Xu Sheng and do nothing? Let his mother be implicated because of this?" Shen Bei retorted.

Bi Kun said, "Let's consider the long-term!"

"I can consider the long-term, and you can consider the long-term.

But Xu Sheng's mother might not be able to consider the long-term," Shen Bei said, looking at Bi Kun.

"I understand what you mean; we can't directly step into a pit dug by others.

But if we don't step in, Xu Sheng's entire family will have to fill the pit.

Xu Sheng is my man; if he falls into a pit, I can't stand idly by and not pull him out!"

"But if you go, you might also get buried, and even the Night Watchers might get buried because of it," Bi Kun said, exasperated.

"Impulsiveness solves nothing.

Don't you care about the bigger picture at all?"

The Night Watchers who were originally following Shen Bei, ready to rescue someone, also wavered at this moment; people always weigh the pros and cons.

They naturally wanted Xu Sheng to be safe, but what Bi Kun said was also true: knowing it was someone else's scheme, was it necessary to step into it?

At this moment, Shen Bei said, "The bigger picture? The bigger picture is that if I don't act today, then tomorrow Zhao Sheng, Liu Sheng, and Wang Sheng will be trapped in pits.

Can you watch Xu Sheng get buried, can you watch Zhao Sheng get buried?

Then can you still watch Liu Sheng and Wang Sheng get buried?

Since I am a Night Watcher, I cannot abandon my own people."

Bi Kun was furious; this kid was shameless, making it sound like he was heartless.

Damn it, you're the good guy, right? He couldn't help but scold, "I'm not saying we do nothing.

Who doesn't care about their own people?

Ask the Night Watchers if I'm protective or not, but caring is one thing, being blind is another.

We need to find the best way to save people, we need to consider the long-term, at least figure out what their scheme is!"

"But can Xu Sheng's family wait? What if they can't? Let them die?" Shen Bei asked.

"But is it right for you to rush in so recklessly?" Bi Kun said.

Watching the two Team Leaders confront each other, they all looked at each other.

They wanted Shen Bei to save the person, but what Bi Kun said also made sense.

Ren Chuan was about to step forward to persuade Shen Bei when he heard Shen Bei say, "Team Leader Bi, what you said makes sense.

But this is not my, Shen Bei's, way of doing things."

"Considering the long-term is certainly good, but will they give us time to consider the long-term?" Shen Bei asked Bi Kun.

"I refuse to believe they truly dare to kill our Night Watchers without fear."

"What if you're wrong?" Shen Bei asked, looking at Bi Kun.

Before Bi Kun could answer, Shen Bei added, "I will not gamble with the lives of Xu Sheng's family.

Since they are coming for me, if there's a gamble, it should rightfully be me who takes it."

Bi Kun looked at Shen Bei's young Face, his expression complex.

He had originally thought Shen Bei was impulsive, but he hadn't expected Shen Bei to have such courage.

"Besides, if I retreat today, they will think the Night Watchers are afraid of them, and they will swarm to target the Night Watchers.

Since that's the case, it's better to accept their trap and tell them directly that if they have something, they should come at me directly, without resorting to such low-level tactics."

Bi Kun ultimately failed to dissuade Shen Bei, and the Night Watchers also saw Shen Bei's courage and responsibility.

Shen Bei's position in their hearts rose again; who wouldn't love a leader willing to risk for his subordinates?

...

Xu Sheng's home was on Qingyuan Street.

When Shen Bei arrived at Xu Sheng's house, he didn't see Xu Sheng's mother, only Xu Sheng, bruised and swollen, begging a young man to release his mother.

This young man was none other than Feng Yuan.

However, Feng Yuan ignored his pleas, only playing with two heavy lead balls in his hands.

Only when he saw Shen Bei's figure appear at the street corner did a smile appear on his Face.

He kicked Xu Sheng away and walked towards Shen Bei, saying, "Team Leader Shen, long time no see!"

Xu Sheng also saw Shen Bei at this moment.

He ran to Shen Bei, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said, "My lord, save my mother!"

Shen Bei glanced at Xu Sheng, nodded, and said, "You stand aside first!"

Xu Sheng was helped aside by Ren Chuan, and Feng Yuan didn't stop him, but instead said, "Team Leader Shen, isn't it natural to pay your debts?

Of course, if you Night Watchers want to use your authority to oppress people, I can also let him go."

Shen Bei replied, "Don't talk nonsense.

You dare to treat a Night Watcher like this, aren't you just banking on us Night Watchers following the rules?

We Night Watchers are half Jianghu people.

Jianghu matters are settled in the Jianghu.

Tell me, how do you want to solve this problem?"

"Good! As expected of the Night Watchers! You really follow the rules!

Since Team Leader Shen, you are prepared to accept this, then I'll be direct.

He owes me 100,000 coins.

I'll waive the interest out of respect for your Face.

Return my 100,000 coins, and this matter will be settled."

Shen Bei naturally didn't have that much money.

He directly said, "I don't have the money, and don't talk about useless things.

Besides this, what else can resolve this matter?"

Feng Yuan said, "It's also simple.

Didn't you seize a lot of Heart Blood?

Give it to me as payment, and then these 100,000 coins will be settled!"

Shen Bei narrowed his eyes, looking at Feng Yuan.

Shen Bei laughed, "What? Do you want to cultivate Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques?"

Feng Yuan said, "What Demonic Path Cultivation Technique? My Feng Family doesn't have any.

Team Leader Shen, please don't speak carelessly.

Oh, and the matter of you slandering my Feng Family last time, my Feng Family hasn't settled with you yet!"

Shen Bei laughed after hearing that, looking at Feng Yuan, he said, "How do you want to settle it?

Also, I'm telling you directly, this Heart Blood is not mine, and I cannot give it to you."

Although the Heart Blood was in his hands, Shen Bei couldn't possibly give it to someone for cultivation.

Putting aside everything else, if he dared to do that, the families of the victims would curse the Night Watchers to death.

Feng Yuan said, "This is the simplest way to resolve this matter, Team Leader Shen, it's better if you agree."

Shen Bei continued, "Sorry! I can't agree.

I think you should have a third condition to resolve this matter, right?"
