Chapter 645: Chapter 645: Without Luck, You Are Nothing!

Shang Shaojing furrowed his brow and fished out two banknotes from his pocket, tossing them to the taxi driver.

"Keep the change."

The driver didn’t catch them and had to bend over to pick them up from the driver’s side, cursing under his breath, "What kind of manners are these, acting like some young master, all high and mighty in a taxi. If you’re so capable, why don’t you drive yourself!"

Shang Shaojing ignored him and walked into the police station alone.

Half an hour later, he saw his father.

Shang Zhenhe had aged a lot. Overnight, his temples had unexpectedly turned quite gray, giving him an appearance of someone in his twilight years.

Seeing this, it was hard for Shang Shaojing not to feel distressed.

"Dad, how did it end up like this?"

Shang Zhenhe started to sob and sniffle as he complained to him, and with Shang Shaojing already harboring fire in his heart, he grew even more agitated at this moment.

"Dad, I came here to discuss strategies with you, not to be educated by you!"

"Educated you?" Shang Zhenhe became displeased, "Do you think the situation would’ve gotten this bad if it weren’t for your stubbornness from the start? What’s wrong with me lecturing you a few words? If you were half as obedient as your brother, our family wouldn’t have become such a mess!"

While Shang Zhenhe kept on talking incessantly, Shang Shaojing had no more patience and stood up, walking to the window and looking outside.

It was the end of October in the Capital, and the weather was very cold. It didn’t feel like much on the island, but back here, it was like being placed in an ice cellar.

The clothes he was wearing weren’t thick, but he didn’t feel cold at all; his whole body seemed numb.

With Shang Zhenhe’s nagging in his ears, Shang Shaojing opened his mouth, his voice hoarse as he spoke again.

"The thing you asked me to find, I didn’t find it, it might not be on that island."

Shang Zhenhe was taken aback, but when he realized what he was talking about, he stood up excitedly, "How is that possible? When that immortal placed it with our family, he said its other half was on Dragon Ridge Island. As long as we made sure it was safe, the Shang Family would always thrive!"

Halfway through speaking, Shang Zhenhe looked horrified. "Could it be that the Gu Family has already discovered it?!"

Shang Shaojing thought of Gu Yu who had suddenly arrived on the island and felt that things might not be so simple.

"Dad, is that thing really so mystical?"

Shaojing was someone who least believed in superstitious nonsense, but a series of recent events forced him to consider that there might indeed be some mysterious force in this world.

The sudden change in Jiang Li might be a warning sign.

Shang Zhenhe grew very emotional, "Our Shang Group’s dominant position back then relied on the town object given by that old immortal! How could you not believe in it? Here’s what, go back home quickly, to the basement, take the key under my desk, open the last door with it. There’s a hidden compartment in there, and once you see what’s inside, you’ll understand!"

"If there’s still no solution, take that thing and find him! That person will certainly have a way!"

When Shang Shaojing left the police station, his mind was full of his father’s words.

He felt as if his entire worldview had been overturned.

Were all his business achievements and successes not earned through his own efforts?

But now, he truly had nowhere to turn.

The whole world had abandoned him. Apart from his family, he couldn’t contact anyone, let alone find someone to lend him a hand.

As the sky turned dark, Shang Shaojing walked to the side of the road and lit a cigarette, but before he could take a couple of puffs, a piercing car horn sounded in his ears.

He furrowed his brow and, pinching the cigarette, prepared to step aside, but the face that appeared inside the rolled-down car window was a familiar one.

"Dear little brother, long time no see."

At the sight of that still-radiant face, Shang Shaojing almost immediately understood everything.

As the newcomer stepped out of the car, Shang Shaojing viciously snuffed out his cigarette and then grabbed Shang Shaobai by the collar.

"It was you, wasn’t it?!"

The bodyguards behind him immediately rushed forward to restrain Shang Shaojing.

Despite having learned boxing before, due to the excessive toll taken on him during his time on the island, Shaojing hadn’t recovered and now completely lacked the strength to resist.

Shang Shaobai straightened his coat collar that Shang Shaojing had messed up and coldly looked at him.

"You should have foreseen your own end the moment your Shen Family forcibly took over and drove my mother to death."

"I was convinced that I could never beat you in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, Heaven took pity and gave me a ray of hope."

Shang Shaojing narrowed his eyes, gritting his teeth, "Is it the Gu Family? What benefit did Gu Yu give you?!"

Shang Shaobai let out a laugh, "Young Master Gu wouldn’t fancy folks like us. Speaking of which, this person happens to be an old acquaintance of yours, Shaojing."

Saying that, Shang Shaobai leaned in and whispered two words into his ear, "Jiang Li."

Shang Shaojing’s pupils constricted sharply.

That very Jiang Li whom he had once looked down upon and humiliated in every possible way?!

How could that be possible?!

How could she possibly have such means?!

Shang Shaobai took in his expression completely.

"Shang Shaojing, do you know where you lost?"

"Your overconfidence."

"You always think that whatever you want, you can have. It was indeed the case before. You’ve had smooth sailing all your life, getting whatever you wished for. Even if others tried to stop you, you would eventually reduce them to ashes."

"But the saying ’fortune turns’ isn’t just an idle phrase. Those without real ability, once their luck runs out, will quickly revert to their true selves."

"You’re that kind of person."

After these words, Shang Shaobai got into the car, leaving Shang Shaojing with four last words.

"Take care of yourself."

The limited-edition Rolls Royce Ghost drove off into the night, its headlights stretching Shang Shaojing’s figure long.

He knelt by the curb, his downcast eyes filled with blood.

Luck?

Ha, how could he possibly rely solely on luck?!

He couldn’t believe it!

This time, he was certainly going to turn the situation around with his own strength!

...

...

Wilderness Survival, Day 30.

The weather is clear.

The temperature is 18 degrees.

It was the last day on this island, and Jiang Yan had been too excited to sleep in the early half of the night.

Thinking about meeting sports cars, champagne, and beauties tomorrow, he cheerfully went over several return plans in his mind before blissfully falling asleep.

He had thought that since it was the last day and there were no other people on the island, Jiang Li would at least let them off the hook.

But unexpectedly, at six o’clock, that deadly whistle sounded once again.

Jiang Yan’s head nearly exploded, and soon Jiang Li’s lethal voice followed.

"Time to get up for exercise."

"Come on?!" Jiang Yan howled, "It’s the last day and you still won’t let us go?!"

However, the others seemed to be so used to it by now that they got up from their beds, even Zhao Lang and Pei Ye crawled out of their tents outside promptly for a visit.

Even Jiang Cheng, who had previously protested Jiang Li’s autocratic rule with him, was now sitting on the bed putting on his shoes, not forgetting to turn back and make a face at him.

"Brother, it’s just the last day, can’t you be a little more positive? Sister is doing this for our own good, you know."
