Chapter 57 The Great Secret Hidden in the Study

Shen Muyun frowned, bit his lips tightly, and breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the doctor. His words were like needles, piercing his heart one by one. Although there was no bleeding, the power was huge, as if something wanted to rush out of his throat directly.

Shen Muyun turned around and wanted to leave the doctor's office. The feeling of suffocation and drowning discomfort happened to meet Shen Liuyun's cold eyes, which made him feel an inexplicable chill in his heart. He did not desert, but stood numbly farther away.

I listened to the doctor's words in silence, and the sky had already darkened.

"Chen Muyun, I don't care what your relationship with Lu Huainan is. You are the culprit for your father's condition. You two are not suitable for each other. Break up. It doesn't matter to anyone. Besides, there are many famous families in Jiangcheng. You can choose a daughter from a family you like. I can also help you make a connection."

Shen Liuyun said this inexplicably, and Shen Muyun was stunned on the spot, unable to say anything for a long time. Is there really something going on between him and Lu Huainan?

"Brother, whether Huainan and I are in love or not, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with our family. Besides, we're just friends. He's just too worried about me, worried about my safety, and worried that I'll be scared. There's nothing else to it."

Shen Liuyun stood in front of the ward, looking through the small window at Shen Wenjin lying on the bed, and said coldly, "That's the truth, Shen Muyun. I used to think that you were willing to return to China and come to work in the company to change your ways. It seems that I still overlooked the fact that nature is hard to change. For the sake of the Shen family, you should grow up. I am your brother, and a brother is like a father. Now that you are like this, it is my fault."

Shen Muyun was stunned for a moment, and immediately couldn't stop laughing. It turned out that this was what Shen Liuyun thought. He turned over a new leaf and really thought that he could ascend to heaven by getting the male lead's script. It was all an illusion.

"Muyun, you stay here and look after father. I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon. Remember not to provoke him."

Shen Muyun nodded and looked into the ward. The tubes on Shen Wenjin's body were connected to the monitor beside him, making a dripping sound. His head felt an inexplicable pain as if it was being torn apart. Scattered fragments of memory flooded into his mind bit by bit. It seemed to be Lu Huainan's back. Where was he going?

Shen Muyun raised his hand to catch the person in front of him, but he couldn't touch him. He jogged a few steps, but couldn't catch up with that person. In the end, was it Lu Huainan?

“Ding ding ding…”

A ringing sound pulled him back from his thoughts. Was it a daydream? How could it be so real? Shen Muyun frowned and gently pressed his solar plexus. He must have been too tired recently, so he had hysterics.

Looking at the pinned message, it was Lu Huainan.

"Brother Yun, Brother Yun, I'm off work. Do you want to go out for dinner together?"

"Brother Yun, are you busy? Why haven't you replied to the message for so long?"

"Brother Yun, where have you been? If you don't reply to me, I'm going to look for you."

Shen Muyun looked at Lu Huainan's series of messages, not knowing how to reply. He looked at Shen Wenjin on the hospital bed, and then thought about what Shen Liuyun had said just now. Before he figured it out, he was a little distressed. He didn't know how to handle the relationship between the two people in the best way, so he could only remain silent and ignore it.

Chen Muyun looked at the WeChat messages and scrolled up. It was about his previous visit to Baitou Village. At that time, they also hung a small sign. He didn't know if the sign could really bless anything. Now it seemed that the wish at that time was a joke. He would go there again one day and see if he could take down the small sign to prevent the gods from seeing it and laughing at him.

Lu Huainan's phone call came in again. Shen Muyun looked at the number on Nan Feng's phone, thought for a while, and directly clicked three times in a row to block it.

Shen Liuyun gently opened the door of the ward, still holding dinner in his hand, and seeing that Shen Wenjin showed no signs of waking up, he motioned for Shen Muyun to come out.

"Muyun, I just talked to the doctor. According to my father's current condition, he probably only has a few months left. In fact, as you know, I have been managing the operations of Shen's in recent years. According to what my father said before, he hopes that I will take over Shen's."

Shen Muyun smiled coldly. This was good. Shen Wenjin was not dead yet, but Shen Liuyun was thinking about the Shen family. But that was also true. Who made him suddenly appear out of thin air and then change his nature? Wasn't he the biggest competitor for the Shen family's property? It was funny. It turned out that Shen Liuyun's favorability was negative before, and it couldn't even go up. Now there is a reasonable explanation. It's really interesting.

"Brother, you know I'm the type who only responds to soft words and not hard ones. Before, I was thinking about just being an idler, drinking tea, playing cards, etc. But now my mind has changed. I'm still interested in some of Shen's projects. How about redistributing the equity?"

Shen Liuyun's face obviously darkened a bit, but he still maintained his usual smile, "Muyun, my father is not dead yet, so since you said so, the capable get more, this is the basic principle of businessmen, you should understand, when the time comes to compete, let's give it a try."

Shen Liuyun opened the door of the ward and walked directly into the room. The sound of ticking machines kept ringing in the ward, and the numbers on the instrument fluctuated up and down, red and green, which made people nervous.

Shen Muyun felt uncomfortable listening to this sound, which was very similar to the sound he heard when he traveled through time before. The sound of discomfort, sadness, and crying out loud instantly occupied his mind. Forget it, it was better to leave in this situation.

"Brother, I remembered that there are still some documents for the demolition households over there that have not been processed. You are here, and I will go and finish them over there."

Shen Liuyun acquiesced to Shen Muyun’s words, gave a few instructions, and ignored him, and Shen Muyun went straight home.

I turned on the car radio and didn't know where the news came from, but all the major media outlets started reporting Shen Wenjin's news directly. She had originally gone to a private hospital, but the ups and downs of the matter were exposed. They were really a group of incomprehensible people.

When he got home, today's events were really a mess. He wanted to go back to his room, have a good rest, and think about Lu Huainan. Suddenly, a strange idea popped into his mind, and he decided to go to Shen Wenjin's study to take a look.

In his memory, the original owner had no permission to enter the study, and he used to be happy and comfortable as long as he had money. However, shouldn't the cool novel routine be the most favored by the youngest son? Why not this book? He wanted to see if there was any hidden secret.

Shen Muyun slipped directly into Shen Wenjin’s study, and looking at the layout around him, there didn’t seem to be any locked places. He walked to the desk, where was the planning document for the Chengbei project, and a stack of investigation reports beside it, probably what Shen Liuyun reported to him that day, there was nothing interesting to see.

There was a small partition under the desk. Shen Muyun reached out and touched it. There seemed to be a small lock inside. Forget it, it couldn't be opened, so it wasn't worth the effort.

He looked around again and found that the bookshelf behind him was filled with books about Western economics. He then remembered that he had taken quite a few books before. He had wanted to take some time to read them, but he never had the time and always forgot about them. Occasionally he would open a few pages, but they would make him sleepy.

There was nothing worth seeing in the study. The safe in the corner looked difficult to crack. It might contain some inheritance distribution documents or gold or something, but it had nothing to do with him.

Shen Muyun sat on the chair, casually flipping through the contracts, which were things he had read several times. Flipping through them again, he suddenly saw an adoption agreement and instantly became alert.

Among so many documents, this one is the most interesting. There seems to be something wrong with it, and this location seems to be deliberately placed so that he can check it.

Records of Family Grudges, who was the adopted one? Shen Muyun made a rough guess and thought it should be him, otherwise Shen Wenjin would have ignored him for so many years.

Shen Muyun carefully counted the pages of the document to ensure that the position would not change when it was inserted later.

He pulled out the adoption agreement, but the name on it startled him. It was Shen Liuyun, the young photo, and the Tongxin Orphanage on it were particularly eye-catching. Orphanage, Shen Liuyun, how could they go together?

Shen Muyun froze in place for a moment. When he heard footsteps, he immediately hid under the desk.

The housekeeper simply opened the door, looked around, walked in, closed the window, and went out again.

There was no movement for a long time, and Shen Muyun finally came out. Looking at the information in his hand, how could it be that Shen Liuyun was clearly the pride of the Shen family, and had always been the one who was adored by everyone. When he was adopted, Shen Liuyun was only two years old.

Shen Wenjin talked to him for so long that day, could it be that he really talked to him about this matter? A lot of speculation and confusion instantly flooded into Shen Muyun's brain.

"System, system, are you there?"

The system transformed into a humanoid form and leaned against a desk nearby. "Dear host, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Shen Muyun directly threw the adoption agreement next to the system, "What is this?"

The system yawned, glanced at the agreement, and tapped the words on it with its fingertips. "It's very simple, host. Isn't this just an adoption agreement?"

“So, you know that Shen Liuyun was adopted?”

"Of course, Master Host, I am your golden finger, your God's perspective. How could I not know about this kind of thing?"

"Then why didn't you tell me before?"

"You haven't asked, Master Host. How do you like this plot? However, Shen Wenjin, the system program shows that he really doesn't have much time left. The Shen family's struggle for power and profit has officially begun. Master Host, this line, to be honest, is a very critical quest line. How about you do it while you're at it?"

Shen Muyun stroked his forehead and rested his arms on the table. If Shen Liuyun was an adopted son, then his chances of winning would be a little greater. However, according to the original owner's personality, this matter would not be so smooth.

“System, do you have any information about Shen Liuyun’s previous stay at the Tongxin Orphanage?”

The system clasped its hands together, and an electronic screen appeared before its eyes. "Here, the information is right here."

Shen Muyun marveled at the system's sophistication, looking directly at the display on the screen. Shen Liuyun had been abandoned at the door of an orphanage, frail and suffering from pneumonia. His information card only contained his date of birth and the fact that his parents had both passed away. The Shen couple, childless for years, adopted Shen Liuyun, but three years later, they had no idea he would...

"System, how many people know about this?"

The system scratched its head and looked at Shen Muyun in front of it. "How should I put it? The only people who know about this are the Shen couple. Mrs. Shen died of illness a few years ago. Theoretically, only Shen Wenjin can see it. But now this thing is placed so naked on the desk, and the housekeeper will come to clean it regularly. However, every wealthy family has some secrets. This is not shocking news."

Shen Muyun nodded, "Then the system, since I am the only child of the Shen family, then the inheritance rights of the company..."

The system lowered its head, its eyes raised as it looked at Shen Muyun, sending chills down its spine. "Master Host, things are not as simple as you think. Shen Liuyun's position in the company is unshakable. As for your father, his previous intention was to let him inherit the company, but because you are his true blood, he also designated you as the heir. However, those shareholders are old guys, so they will probably have objections to this."

"System, if you say so, then I can't give up even if I want to, right?"

"Ding Dong, respected host, you are really smart. So, there is another task in your task bar, which is to compete with Shen Liuyun for the family property. However, this is the Welfare Bureau. Don't worry, even if the task goes wrong, you will not disappear."

Nonsense, absolute nonsense. If he fails, what status will he have in the Shen family? It will be fine if he just fends for himself.

"System, do you think there's anything suitable for me in that mall?"

The system shook its head. "No, there haven't been any new updates recently. Also, the guy from the Spacetime Administration hasn't been doing any system maintenance. I don't know what he's been busy with. He's been missing for about half a month."

Shen Muyun pursed his lips, "System, if there is no Space-Time Administration, will this world collapse?"

The system shook its head. "Not really, but you will be trapped in disorder forever."
