Xue Shaoguang remained silent for two seconds, then suddenly raised his eyebrows playfully like a child: "When a person is about to die, his words are kind. In the same vein, I'm about to leave Shengshi, so take it as my goodwill. I hope you and the chairman can turn hostility into friendship, allowing the chairman to enjoy his later years in peace. After all, he has looked after me for twelve years."
Bai Cheng'an knew well that Xue Shaoguang couldn't be so kind-hearted, yet he couldn't think of the reason behind his actions, so he replied in a lukewarm tone, "In that case, I thank you!"
Xue Shaoguang also knew that Bai Cheng'an wasn't sincerely expressing gratitude. He originally came just to remind Bai Cheng'an and sound an alarm, and seeing that his purpose was achieved, he was satisfied.
Conversations between two smart people often end when the point is made.
Xue Shaoguang did agree to an alliance with Mu Qiubai to take over Shengshi, but he had his own considerations.
