Shen Jingyu stood up to greet him. Facing Shen Zhengxin, both men were tall and imposing, but Shen Jingyu appeared lighter and significantly taller and more robust than Shen Zhengxin. The aura emanating from the grandfather and grandson was surprisingly consistent.
"Grandfather, is my father still alive?" Shen Jingyu asked lightly. The seriousness on Shen Zhengxin's face seemed to crack.
He sat heavily on the sofa, remaining silent for a long time before finally looking up at Shen Jingyu. "He is dead. He was killed because of the Zhan family. Therefore, the Zhan clan is your enemy! You must drive them out of Hua Country! This is an order!"
"An order? My father is missing, and you define him as dead? Do you have another command prepared for me?"
"You! Unfilial child!" Shen Zhengxin was so enraged that his hands trembled. His aide and steward, Xi Xin, immediately came over to open a bottle of essential oil and held it under Shen Lao's nose.
"Calm down, Shen Lao!"
Shen Jingyu continued, "Do you know my father's whereabouts?" His tone was not a question but a statement of certainty. "Su Xing's relative sacrificed during the same mission as my father; you are hiding the truth about them. Now, I need to know the truth."
Shen Zhengxin had weathered many storms and was not about to be toppled by his own grandson's anger. He quickly adjusted his demeanor. "Hmph! You little brat, what makes you think you have the right to ask me that? As a grandson, with this attitude, I will not entertain you! As a subordinate, you have no right to question your superior about high-level mission information. If you want to know, climb up to my position and replace me; then the truth will be yours to uncover!"
Shen Jingyu understood that in Shen Zhengxin's eyes, Su Xing was like a thorn in his flesh, a nuisance. However, after returning, Shen Lao had not taken any action against Su Xing. In fact, he had even exerted considerable effort to search for Su Xing without holding it against him.
The information coming from He Xiaoqing confirmed that Su Xing was someone Shen Lao wanted to protect or benefit from! All of this stemmed from their kinship—Shen Huai Ming and Su Bokan.
Shen Jingyu knew that he could not force Shen Zhengxin to reveal what he did not want to say; if he wanted the truth, he would have to investigate it himself. Yet from Shen Zhengxin's earlier hesitation and his series of reactions, Shen Jingyu was inclined to believe that his relative had not truly died.
"Jing Yu," he said, "I’ve seen your uncle. When are you coming home for a meal together?"
I will wait for my dad to come back. Shen Jingyu thought defiantly.
"Unfilial! Unfilial indeed!" Shen Zhengxin gasped sharply. This little monkey was really going to drive him half mad!
Shen Jingyu pretended not to see it; this old man was merely putting on a show for himself. Back when he had deceived him into joining the National Security Organization's special training unit, his methods had been more than just a little emotional performance.
Shen Zhengxin had not emerged from his seclusion for a long time, and this visit was specifically to help Shen Jingyu secure his position as president. After making his opinions clear to the old fossils, he decided not to linger any longer.
But before leaving, Shen Lao said emphatically, "That kid from the Mu family, don’t let him have another chance to breathe!" Anyone who dared to harm the descendants of the Shen family would find that he didn’t mind personally reclaiming what belonged to his lineage!
Now was a suitable time; if Shen Jingyu wanted to progress, he needed to develop comprehensively. Although business battles were shallow, they were still a form of training for him.
Shen Jingyu did not respond.
Shen Zhengxin frowned slightly and then added, "Your grandmother wants to invite Su Xing for a meal. Take him back when you have time."
Shen Jingyu replied, "Are you saying I have no choice but to go?"
"Oh. You take care."
Shen Jingyu stood up early, watching him leave, but then Shen Lao mentioned Su Xing and gave a response.
Shen Zhengxin felt as if a heavy stone was pressing down on his heart! Unfilial! He muttered under his breath as he walked away from the Shen family.
Early in the morning, Shen Jingyu confirmed that he harbored too many suspicions in his heart; what he needed to do next had to be pushed forward more quickly.
Equally important at this moment was Su Xing.
Su Xing never imagined that one night of heavy drinking would bring her so many aftereffects.
In Mu Beiyao's villa, there were two bedrooms, one belonging to her and the other to Su Xing. One was upstairs and the other downstairs.
That morning, Mu Beiyao had barely slept for an hour when she was jolted awake by Su Xing's thunderous shout, covering her ears in distress.
She buried her head under the blanket and muttered, "Hmph! Go sulk by yourself!"
Su Xing truly wanted to sulk; how could she have done such a grand show of taking selfies? And then she went on a tirade against netizens? It wasn’t entirely innocent for her to be doxxed.
In a fit of frustration, Su Xing was pulled back to reality by the ringing of her phone.
"A Xing, it's Li Li. I'm back; shall we meet at Late Star River Bar?"
Su Xing had almost forgotten about their friendship. With so much news about her online, meeting an ambiguous old friend at this time was indeed a challenge for her heart.
"Ah, I'll be there at six."
Su Xing agreed to her request but continued to linger under the covers, reluctant to get up.
After a long day of work, Shen Jingyu finally managed to resolve the incident involving Sun Zhifei's attempted suicide. He fought hard to protect the reputation of Shen Group and, on a personal level, provided some financial compensation to the disabled child involved. However, he negotiated with the hospital and did not hand over the money directly to Liu Jia.
As a result, Liu Jia regained her senses and admitted her mistakes, even going so far as to give Shen Jingyu a positive endorsement, calling him a conscientious boss. The matter was handled discreetly and simply, with the only true victim being Mu Zhiyuan, who had orchestrated everything from behind the scenes. While Shen Jingyu was busy managing the fallout, he also set a trap for Mu Zhiyuan.
Mu Beiming helped his cousin Mu Zhiyuan through the crisis.
In the afternoon, Su Xing encountered the recently awakened Mu Beiyao in the same room. They exchanged silent glances.
"Cough, cough. Su Xing, guess what? Tang Feng is on duty today, and a well-known agent has come to offer you a script. They hope to collaborate with you for a supporting female role."
"Are you going to compete with Han Ruoxi?"
Mu Beiyao's words nearly made Su Xing choke on her drink.
"What did you say? They want me for a film?"
Not only that, but Su Xing was also receiving a call from her assistant Randy.
"Sister Xing, you've surpassed one million followers on Weibo and are now being called an idol! Several wealthy ladies from high society want to commission custom jewelry from you. There are even investors looking to support you into the entertainment industry! What are our plans moving forward, Sister Xing?"
Is she really about to become a big star? Those around Su Xing found it quite amusing.
On Su Xing's end of the call was a long silence as she processed everything.
Mu Beiyao encouraged her from the side, "Go for it! Opportunities like this are rare, and your stunning beauty won't last forever!"
Su Xing raised her head and looked at him incredulously, "Are you being polite?!"
