In the hospital, Shen Celiang, who had been unconscious, had just woken up. He subconsciously clenched his fist, but grasped nothing. He paused for a moment, as memories of the time before he fell into a coma returned to his mind.

At the same time, Assistant Wang, who had been keeping watch, noticed that Shen Celiang had woken up. He excitedly stood up and said, "President Shen, you're finally awake! I'll have Dr. Lan come over and examine you again..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Celiang interrupted him, his voice a little hoarse: "Where is she?"

Assistant Wang realized almost instantly who Shen Celiang was asking about. He cautiously replied, "That lady said she had an emergency and left first... However, she left her contact information."

As he spoke, Assistant Wang took the slip of paper with his contact information from his suit pocket and handed it to Shen Celiang.

Shen Celiang took it, and looked down at the string of numbers on it. His eyes were as deep as an abyss, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

After a while, Shen Celiang pressed the note into his palm. He looked up and returned to the calm and composed demeanor that Assistant Wang was familiar with.

"The Fan family's ambitions have grown rather large lately. I remember they were trying to seize that piece of land in the west of the city, right..."

"Yes, Mr. Shen."

While Shen Celiang was still unconscious, Assistant Wang managed to obtain the surveillance footage from the banquet, thus distancing himself from Yan Qing's involvement in the matter and focusing his attention on the young lady from the Fan family. He was just waiting to see how to handle the situation after Shen Celiang woke up. Now it seems that the Fan family's fate will not be good.

Shen Celiang said coldly, "Find someone to set a trap, help the Fan family take over that land, and then..."

After hearing Shen Celiang's entire plan, Assistant Wang looked up in surprise. It seemed that President Shen was going to bankrupt the Fan family.

The Fan family has ambition but lacks the ability to match it. Even if they acquire the land in the west of the city, they cannot digest it immediately. In addition, Shen Celiang sent people to interfere, so the land in the west of the city is no longer a coveted prize, but a hidden dagger that will cut down the Fan family when the time comes.

However, the Fan family deserved what they got for their crimes.

Therefore, Assistant Wang simply replied, "Okay, Mr. Shen, I'll arrange it right away."

Shen Celiang nodded slightly. After explaining these matters, he asked Dr. Lan to come and examine him.

After confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong and that he could be discharged the next day, Dr. Lan left the ward.

For a moment, Shen Celiang was the only one left in the ward. He stared at the note in his palm in silence for a while, as if he had memorized the number. Finally, he took out his phone and dialed the number.

The phone rang several times before being answered.

Shen Celiang had already seen the information about Yan Qing that Assistant Wang had found. He originally wanted to thank him first and then see if the other party needed help. Although he had not yet completely taken control of the Shen Group and was still under Shen's father's observation period, he could still control many of the Shen family's resources.

However, Shen Celiang did not expect that his words would be rejected one by one as soon as they were spoken.

The woman's voice on the other end said coldly, "Mr. Shen, I was just passing by. I've accepted your thanks, but that's all. I don't want to get involved in your power struggle..."

Hearing these distant rejections, Shen Celiang tightened his grip on his phone. Indeed, there were many things he hadn't expected.

Putting everything else aside, at this critical juncture, he, as the next heir of the Shen family, cannot have any weaknesses. Otherwise, without anyone else's help, Shen's father would take action to eliminate that weakness first.

If you really have a weakness, you need to hide it and not let anyone discover it.

The best outcome is to stay away...

A dark look flashed across Shen Celiang's face, a complex mix of emotions converging into an even deeper, more somber mood.

His phone screen was already black, and the call was ended by Yan Qing after she finished speaking. He sat quietly on the hospital bed for a long time before putting his phone away.

He chose to secretly lend a helping hand whenever Yan Qing encountered any trouble; that was all he could do now.

However, Shen Celiang did not expect that he would meet Yan Qing again so soon.

Even more unexpectedly, Yan Qing became an artist under Shen Xichao.

Just as Shen Celiang finished discussing the cooperation and was about to leave, he encountered Yan Qing, who was being harassed at the banquet.

When Shen Celiang realized what was happening, he was already standing in front of Yan Qing, shielding her from the red wine that was being splashed at her.

Having already moved a few steps to the side thanks to 012's precise calculations, Yan Qing, who knew that even if red wine were spilled, not a single drop would get on her clothes: "..."

012 was furious. Where did this person even come from?! His calculations were flawless, but now, blocked by this person, a drop of red wine splashed onto Yan Yan's skirt. Although the location was hidden, it still splashed!

This is an insult to his professional competence!

Sensing 012's emotional fluctuations, Yan Qing gently comforted 012 in her heart for a while before successfully smoothing things over.

012 grumbled, "Yan Yan, let's stay away from him."

Yan Qing replied gently, "Okay."

Her current identity is not suitable for her to have any connection with Shen Celiang; having more contact with him would be a bad thing.

After Yan Qing finished soothing 012, Shen Celiang also dealt with the chaos that had ensued outside.

The banquet organizers even came over in person to apologize as a sign of sincerity, and Shen Celiang went upstairs to change his clothes.

Yan Qing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not leave. Although Shen Celiang had done more harm than good to 012 earlier, he was still trying to help her in the end, so she should thank him.

Moreover, Yan Qing also wanted to clarify things this time. She had naturally noticed Shen Celiang's secret help, which might be a good thing for others, but for her, it would ruin some of her plans.

Just as Yan Qing was thinking about what to say, Shen Celiang, who had changed his clothes, came out.

Yan Qing looked up and glanced at him. He had always been dressed in a sharp suit when they met before, but now that he had taken off his suit and was only wearing a white shirt, Yan Qing felt a little uncomfortable.

Shen Celiang slowly rolled up his sleeves above his wrists, revealing a section of his forearm with cold, hard lines, exuding a strong sense of power.

When Shen Celiang saw Yan Qing, his gaze paused for a moment. Suddenly, he didn't know what to say. He seemed... a little nervous.

This is an emotion I've never experienced before.

Usually, only bystanders saw him get nervous.

That's rather unusual.
