NOVEL NEXT Chapter 532 Quite Humorous
The night gradually deepened.
In Jiangnan City, the Martial Arts Association headquarters was still brightly lit.
In the President's office, a few people were seated, and the atmosphere was very quiet.
"Creak."
The door made a light sound as a figure pushed it open and stepped inside. After glancing around the room, the person hastily said, "Sorry, sorry, President, I'm late..."
"It's fine, find a place to sit."
Shen Si, who was sitting in the office chair, nodded and smiled at him.
"Yes, President."
The man quickly found a seat and cast a questioning look at the companion closest to him, asking what was going on.
The latter shook his head, indicating that he also knew nothing.
Shen Si stood up from the chair, walked to the door, locked it, and then looked at everyone, saying:
"Everyone is here, so let's get down to business."
"Yes, President."
The few people responded in unison.
"Just yesterday, someone from the Song family came to see me."
As soon as the words "Song family" were mentioned, the few people in the office shuddered simultaneously.
They roughly guessed what issue the President had called them for.
"President, why did the Song family come looking for you? Could it be that they already know?" someone said nervously.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Someone interrupted him, saying, "If they really knew, how could we still be sitting here comfortably?"
"Exactly, they probably heard some rumors but aren't very clear, so they came here, right?"
"President, what did they say to you?"
Shen Si extended his hands, signaling everyone not to be too tense.
He smiled and said, "The reason they came to find me is simple. We were seen at the scene when the incident occurred."
"Oh, that's it."
The few people breathed a slight sigh of relief.
After the incident, they had been extremely cautious, trying to avoid everyone.
But before the incident, they had no idea.
If they had the ability to foresee the future, they would rather not have gone to the rainforest that day, and the subsequent series of events wouldn't have happened.
"So, President, how did you respond to them?"
"Of course, I played dumb," Shen Si laughed.
He was quite confident in his acting skills. While he couldn't say he completely fooled them, he was certain he didn't leave any loose ends.
"So they believed you? No more suspicions?" someone asked.
After all, this was no small matter and couldn't be taken lightly.
If the Song family found out, the entire Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association would be in trouble.
"That's why I called you all here so late."
Shen Si took a deep breath and said, "After they left yesterday, I also felt relieved, but today, I've had an uneasy feeling, as if something bad is going to happen."
"This..."
The few people on the sofa looked at each other, their faces growing heavy.
The Chairman's spiritual power far exceeded that of an ordinary Martial Artist. Plus, with the cultivation of the Emperor's Qi Observation Skill, his sixth sense was much stronger than others.
"You don't need to worry too much."
Shen Si reassured, "The reason for this feeling may not necessarily be the Song family. It could also be the Beast Tide. In just the past two or three days, the Beast Tide has swept across hundreds of kilometers. The small cities around have almost all fallen, and many medium-sized cities are on the verge of collapse. It might not be long before the Beast Tide arrives at the gates of Jiangnan City."
"So soon!"
Everyone was shocked.
Compared to Shen Si, they had spent most of their recent energy on personal cultivation and were not very aware of the actual situation outside.
Now, hearing Shen Si's description, they realized how severe the situation had become.
"By the way, President, I remember Brother Chen lives in Anshan City, right? Anshan City is also a small city, so has it already been overrun by the fierce beasts?"
"If that's the case, it's terrible! I wonder how Brother Chen is doing, if he's safe."
"I think there's no need to worry. The headquarters should have already moved Brother Chen here. He might be at the headquarters now."
Hearing this, Shen Si gave a wry smile.
He did hope so, but unfortunately, things were not like that.
According to the information he received, Anshan City was still there, but the situation was far from optimistic.
The surrounding cities had almost all fallen, with fierce beasts everywhere. Whether they could successfully reach Anshan City to support it was still uncertain.
He waved his hand and looked at everyone, saying, "I will contact Brother Chen, but everyone should also be cautious. In the next few days, don't leave Jiangnan City. It's best not to leave the headquarters either."
"Not leave the headquarters?" The few people were taken aback.
Not leaving Jiangnan City was understandable. Given the current turbulence outside, with countless people lining up outside the city every day wanting to get in, this made sense.
In such circumstances, even if they wanted to go out, they wouldn't.
But not leaving the headquarters...
"President, are you worried that the Song family still hasn't given up and is watching us from the shadows?"
"Exactly."
Shen Si nodded, "As the saying goes, better safe than sorry. I'm worried that if they can't get any useful information from me, they might turn their attention to you."
The few people immediately held their breath.
"Never underestimate the people from noble families."
Shen Si said sternly, "There isn't a single family that has survived through a thousand years that is easy to deal with, each of them is as cunning as foxes and extremely shrewd.
