After being reborn, who would still be brave enough to do what is right?
Chapter 192 When something goes wrong, there must be a monster
In the quiet atmosphere of the study, Wei Shijun's expression seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud. He said in a heavy and serious tone, "Old Sun and Old Zhou have already told me the purpose of your visit."
Shen Xin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. A hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Why, are you here to persuade me to stop?"
An indescribable bitterness crossed Wei Shijun's face, and he spoke slowly, "Alas! Old Zhou should have told you that the Liu family is no ordinary family. Their old man still holds a pivotal position in the officialdom and holds great power. As the deputy mayor, I am just an insignificant figure in the eyes of the Liu family. The Liu family's influence is complex and their foundation is extraordinary. If we can avoid getting entangled with them, it would be the best strategy..."
Before he could finish, Shen Xin waved his hand casually, interrupting him. "You and I are in different positions and standpoints, so it's understandable that you're wary of them. However, I'm just an ordinary citizen, without an official position, free and unfettered. No matter how powerful he is, he can't directly affect me. Besides, I've always been fearless, as the saying goes, 'the barefoot are not afraid of the shod.' To be frank, if this is truly the Liu family behind this, no matter how deep their roots or how vast their influence, I will do everything I can to expose their evil deeds and bring them to justice."
Wei Shijun was stunned when he heard this. After a moment, a helpless smile appeared on his face: "You kid, you are really a tough guy, with thorns all over your body.
To be honest, I came here today for two reasons: first, to remind you, and second, because I have some friendship with Liu Chunming's housekeeper, Chen You. Liu Chunming usually stays at home, and many things are handled by Chen You.
Communication between smart people is often concise and efficient. Shen Xin instantly understood what Wei Shijun meant. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he asked eagerly, "So, you made an appointment with him today?"
Wei Shijun picked up the teacup, took a sip, nodded slightly, and looked a little helpless: "I was also forced to do so. Speaking of which, I don't know what sin I committed in my previous life.
During this period, I introduced many young talents with prominent family backgrounds and outstanding talents to Xiaoyu, but that girl only has you in her heart.
I've also been through a lot in my youth, and I know you can't force relationships. It's just that you already have a lot of girls around you, and you don't know what will happen in the future. If then..."
Shen Xin stood up hurriedly, picked up the teapot with a smile, and refilled the tea for Wei Shijun.
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who will abandon you after having fun with you. As long as Xiaoyu is willing, I will definitely stay with her and treat her well for the rest of my life."
As a father, Wei Shijun naturally felt a little uncomfortable that his daughter, whom he had loved for many years, was "captured" by Shen Xin, but he also understood his daughter's intentions.
Moreover, if it weren't for Shen Xin, he might have been imprisoned long ago, and his wife and daughter would have been implicated. So, to some extent, Shen Xin was also his benefactor.
"Forget it, it's your business as a young man. As long as we're both willing, I won't say anything more. But there's one thing I absolutely won't allow Xiaoyu to be harmed."
Shen Xin smiled, revealing a row of neat teeth, and said, "Xiaoyu is so strong-willed, how could she be easily bullied? Besides, don't you still have me?
Let's discuss business first. Did you ask Chen You out to get something from him?
Wei Shijun glanced at him, looked at the time, and said, "There's still an hour left. Let's set off now."
An hour and a half later, in the No. 1 box of Guangfu Teahouse.
Chen You hurried over with an apologetic smile on his face and said, "I'm so sorry, I was delayed by something and came late."
Chen You walked in with a beaming face, holding two boxes of the finest tea.
Wei Shijun stood up to greet him, a faint smile on his face, and said, "It's okay, I just happened to be resting today, and there's nothing urgent."
After a few pleasantries, Wei Shijun got straight to the point and said, "Old Chen, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with today."
"Hey, Mayor Wei, what are you talking about? We have such a close relationship, so there's no need to talk about helping or not helping. It's my honor to be able to serve you."
"Haha, Old Chen, don't be so polite. The thing is, I have a niece who's been spoiled by her family since she was little, and she's very proud and arrogant. She's getting married soon, and she really wants to show off in front of her in-laws. So, she came to me. I heard the Liu family has a wonderful manor, and I'm wondering if I can borrow it for three days. I'll definitely pay a lot."
After hearing this, Chen You frowned slightly, looking embarrassed. He said, "This... Mayor Wei, with our relationship, it's awkward to talk about money. It's just that our master has recently moved to the manor, so I'm afraid it's not convenient."
Wei Shijun feigned surprise and asked, "Ah? Mr. Liu moved to the manor? Doesn't he usually live in East City? It's so inconvenient to travel back and forth to the suburbs. Old Chen, if it's inconvenient for you, just tell me directly. There's no need to make excuses like this."
Chen You smiled and explained, "Mayor Wei, I really didn't lie to you. Recently, our master has moved to the manor to entertain an important guest. He..."
Having said this, Chen You suddenly stopped, as if realizing that he had said too much.
As a veteran in the officialdom, Wei Shijun saw through Chen You's thoughts at a glance and laughed, "Hahaha, could it be that General Liu has a mistress hidden in his golden house? However, General Liu's health is not very good, so we still need to pay attention to this aspect."
Chen You smiled and shook his head, saying, "Mayor Wei, you misunderstood. The master of the family has abstained from sex for many years. Health is the most important thing. He moved to the manor this time to seek medical treatment."
Wei Shijun sighed and said, "Alas, back then, Mr. Liu was also a very charming man. I didn't expect that time would not spare him. His health has been getting worse and worse over the years."
Chen You smiled and said, "There is always a way out. Our master has found a treatment. It won't be long before he recovers and continues to lead the Liu family to glory."
Wei Shijun asked curiously, "Didn't they say there were no cures at home or abroad? Could there be some new treatment options abroad?"
Chen You smiled mysteriously and said, "None of those foreign devils' methods worked. Mayor Wei, please don't ask. The master of the family will be cured soon anyway."
Wei Shijun smiled and nodded, saying, "That's good, that's good."
The two chatted for a while, and then Chen You said he had something else to do and hurriedly left the box.
As soon as he left, Shen Xin walked in from the next room.
"Did you hear what I just said?"
"Yes, I heard it." Shen Xin nodded solemnly.
Wei Shijun stared at Shen Xin and asked, "Did you hear anything?"
Shen Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth with a meaningful arc, and said: "When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
Liu Chunming suddenly moved to the manor at this time, and his years of illness are almost cured. Combined with the information I got before, I can now be sure that Jia Jia must be in that manor. "
After Shen Xin returned to the hotel, Black Panther quickly arrived. Black Panther had extensive connections in Beijing and was familiar with the area, so it was more reliable to ask him for help.
Shen Xin hadn't previously told anyone what Zhou Hai had said. Now, he explained the whole story in detail in front of everyone. The Kang sisters were overjoyed and eager to join them in the rescue.
Shen Xin asked Miao Yuelan to go shopping, handed her a bank card, and said, "Spend as you like!"
After leaving the hotel, Shen Xin and the Kang sisters got into Black Panther's car together.
For safety reasons, Shen Xin asked Black Panther to send all his subordinates away.
He trusted Black Panther, but was not so sure about his men.
After all, they are facing the Liu family this time. If they are not careful, they might alert the enemy and make things more complicated.
Those younger brothers serve as support groups and are on standby at any time.
After leaving the teahouse, Chen You did not go anywhere else to do business, but went straight back to the manor.
He came to the door of the study, knocked gently, and said, "Master, I'm back."
Liu Chunming seemed to be in a particularly good mood and said with a smile, "Come in."
"Master, Wei Shijun really came to ask me about the manor today."
Liu Chunming raised the corner of his mouth slightly, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and said: "I have investigated Shen Xin. This kid is not simple. The last time he came to Beijing, he dealt with the two boys of the Zhu family. Not only did Zhu Chenglin not dare to say a word, he also lost his company."
Chen You smiled flatteringly and said, "How can the Zhu family compare with you? However, I don't think Shen Xin would dare to provoke us."
Liu Chunming closed his eyes, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table. He said, "Not necessarily! This kid is so audacious that he even dared to provoke Wei Shijun's daughter. Strengthen the security measures at the manor. If he dares to come, he will never return."
