Shen Jingyu watched as the Certain Official became increasingly agitated. Finally, he graciously poured a cup of warm tea for him.
He said, "No worries. If that day comes, Jinghui will call me to help."
Shen Huai Min was shocked and rubbed his ears. "What did you say? When did you meet Jinghui? You even know him?"
"When I was in the army, Gu Bai often dragged me along to eat with them."
Gu Bai was the eldest son of Shen Huairou, the youngest daughter of Shen Lao. That family of four was frequently stationed in the army as well. Shen Jingyu had maintained contact with them, which surprised Shen Huai Min.
Noticing that Shen Huai Min seemed a bit jealous, Shen Jingyu kindly added, "Gu Bai only invites our generation to gather. Aunts and uncles are too busy, so we don't see them often."
Shen Huai Min replied, "So it’s just us old folks left out, especially me. Have I been cut off from you?"
But something felt off. "You little rascal, who are you cursing to death?!"
Shen Jingyu remained unfazed. "Isn't that what you said yourself?"
If it weren't for Shen Jingyu's extensive connections in the political world, Shen Huai Min would have been furious at that moment!
Shen Jingyu's indifferent demeanor made Shen Huai Min uncomfortable. This child had been so lively and optimistic when he was younger; now he seemed shrouded in gloom.
If he didn't know that Shen Jingyu was working under his father, he might have suspected that the boy was destined to become a villain, living a life without hope.
If that were true, Shen Huai Min would be overwhelmed with guilt and would never be able to face his elder brother again!
However, since he could still connect with the Shen family, he would find a way to protect him with all his might!
Shen Huai Min's mind was filled with thoughts of how to properly guide his elder brother's child. Little did he know that the child had already grown into an adult and had even reached heights beyond his own.
Finally, Shen Huai Min spoke up again: "This situation is being manipulated from behind; you don’t know who it is yet?"
"I don’t know," Shen Jingyu replied casually, as if discussing the weather.
Shen Huai Min felt that this kid was deliberately trying to provoke him! One sentence nearly left him stumbling over his own words.
Shen Jingyu said, "Uncle, if you could give Du Gang a few more words of advice in the future, that would be a great help to me. As for Shen's situation this time, you shouldn't interfere. My people will resolve it quickly."
Shen Huai Min understood that this matter was not simple, but seeing his nephew so confident, he felt it was inappropriate to delve deeper. What he said made sense; his tree was too big and attracted too much wind, which was indeed not good.
"Cough, I heard you've become relatives with Du Gang?" Shen Huai Min teased. "You can’t just talk business; can’t I speak personally as your uncle?"
"Well, Uncle can distinguish right from wrong, but don’t let him take advantage of you. I won’t clean up after you," he added with a smirk.
"Why must you always throw jabs at your uncle?" Shen Jingyu remained unfazed, though he did have questions for his uncle.
Noticing the unusual expression on Shen Jingyu's face, Shen Huai Min interrupted him with a look: "We can’t always occupy Yu Ju's office. Come with me!"
In a place that wasn't their own territory, it was better not to mention some sensitive issues. Shen Jingyu felt that his uncle might know something, but there was no need to rush; he would eventually uncover the truth about his family.
"I'm still under investigation; it's not appropriate for me to leave now." Shen Jingyu leaned back slightly in his chair, crossing his legs.
Shen Huai Min asserted his authority: "You little rascal! You're under my supervision! Is my power not greater than that of Yu Ju?"
Shen Jingyu pursed his lips at him; what he had just said about avoiding suspicion seemed pointless now.
As the hours passed, it quickly became seven in the evening. The night shift staff arrived, yet neither of them showed any intention of leaving. Yu Ju had no choice but to stay and work overtime alongside them, even personally bringing two boxes of meals from the cafeteria.
Eventually, Shen Huai Min shooed Yu Yiqing off to the conference room to work overtime as well. He rejected calls from home urging him to return, choosing instead to stay with Shen Jingyu.
As night fell, Shen Jingyu's phone began buzzing with messages—many updates had come through regarding the investigations. Not only did he need to plan the next steps and assign tasks, but he also had to spend time drinking tea and playing chess with his uncle.
"Uncle, if you can't hold on any longer, just go home. I'll visit you when I have the chance," he suggested.
At one o'clock in the morning, after a series of yawns and cups of strong tea consumed by Shen Huai Min, Shen Jingyu finally couldn’t help but urge him to rest.
"Do you really expect me to believe you?"
"I'm leaving tomorrow, and you won't be able to reach me!"
Shen Jingyu, in his fifties, was still arguing with himself. However, he knew he had been brought in for questioning; while the conditions were somewhat lenient, it was still a form of detention. Shen Huai Min was taking advantage of his position to keep him company through the long night.
Shen Jingyu was a man whose emotional intelligence fell far below his intellectual capacity, but under Shen Huai Min's relentless familial pressure, he ended up playing chess and chatting with him until the early hours of the morning.
By the next day, public opinion had escalated dramatically, pulling Su Xing into the fray as well. The stock prices of Shen's company plummeted, while Mu Beiming quietly guided Luo Hao in addressing business issues. However, the media frenzy had reached an uncontrollable level.
Su Xing had a restless night; any slight noise outside made her sit up, hoping it was Shen Jingyu coming back. Eventually, she began to feel a bit paranoid about it. She didn't remember when she finally fell asleep, but by six in the morning, she opened her eyes again.
Checking her phone, there were still no messages from Shen Jingyu. Instead, she saw a notification: "CEO of Shen Shi Yan Tuan accused by the deceased; taken to the police station for questioning last night."
Su Xing jolted awake. That man still had injuries on him; he had left in such a hurry last night that he hadn't even changed his bandages. She had promised Qin Yi that she would find him!
Su Xing was merely finding a valid reason for herself to go after Shen Jingyu. She quickly got ready and set off to find him. The crime scene had already been cordoned off by the time she arrived.
When Su Xing got there, the body had been taken away, and people were being interviewed by reporters outside. Their comments were pointedly accusatory—not just against Shen Shi Yan Tuan but also against Shen Jingyu personally.
After leaving the scene, she called her other assistant, Randy. He was her business assistant and knew more about the situation at Shen Shi Yan Tuan than she did. Usually, Su Xing focused solely on her design work; many of her company's dealings and even personal investment accounts were handled by Randy. Thankfully, despite her limited experience, there had never been any mistakes.
When Mu Beiyao learned that Su Xing had taken her special assistant with her to run around for Shen Jingyu, she immediately called to check in (and gossip): "Are you two going through tough times together or what?"
"He's still my boyfriend," Su Xing replied seriously.
Mu Beiyao raised an eyebrow on the other end of the line: "If you need more help, you can reach out to Tang Feng; my assistant is a double agent from my brother's side—you know how to make use of that!"
"Thanks!" Su Xing responded without hesitation because if she wanted to see Shen Jingyu now, she indeed needed some connections.
