Chapter 348 Unworthy

Sheng Huaian noticed Gu Zhaoye's motives.

He found Gu Zhaoye, who was in disguise, on the train and handed him over to Mrs. Gu with the following words: after the matter was over, she should send Gu Zhaoye abroad to study under Gu's father.

Gu Zhaoye was of course unwilling to do so. His depression became even worse when he was not at home. He had to wait until he saw Jiang Zhiyue to get better.

But Mrs. Gu had a vague feeling...

Gu Zhaoye was afraid that he would never see Jiang Zhiyue again.

The girl was smart since she was young, but she was involved in the dispute of the Sheng family...

Just from what Mrs. Gu had heard, the large amount of property left by the original wife of the Sheng family to their eldest daughter had already been divided up by the side branches, and now Jiang Wanrou had returned.

With tens of billions of assets, there is no guarantee that someone won't have... murderous intentions.

The oath sounded on the high platform. Sheng Hui, the successor of the Sheng family, stood under the distinctive golden dragon totem, faced the flag, raised his right hand and took the oath.

The process has entered the penultimate stage of the celebration ceremony. There is a flashing white light below, and the flash is madly focused on the man, wanting to capture every detail of his face in detail.

With an extremely dignified expression, he spoke the oath in a leisurely manner.

Old Mrs. Sheng looked at this scene with satisfaction, trying hard to suppress the uncontrollable emotions in her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly. All the past events would come to an end when her youngest son wore the medal of honor.

She has waited too long for this day...

Xiao Jingrun stood there silently. Everything went too smoothly without any abnormality. This was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"You should believe her." At this time, a voice came from my ear. Sheng Huaian and Xiao Jingrun were standing close to each other. They were two young men of similar height and dressed very differently. They were standing behind the elders of their respective families.

The gold-rimmed glasses on Xiao Jingrun's nose emitted a dark warm light from the lenses. The lines of his profile were so handsome that one could never tell what he was thinking.

"You almost killed her several times." Sheng Huaian spoke again, and the oath entered its final stage. The surrounding lights dimmed and all gathered in the center of the platform.

As the true heir of the Sheng family, Sheng Hui had already received a full review. Even the President could not help but nod his approval at his work reports over the years and his governance philosophy for the three major states in the future.

The golden light of the Medal of Honor in his hand became even more dazzling under the light. Sheng Huaian stared at the medal as he spoke.

Each heir has a specific medal. The issuance of a new medal of honor means that the old one has lost its former glory and value, until it is forgotten.

"I should have come to see you a long time ago, but I think now is a good time." Sheng Huaian continued, taking two steps back, and his words reached Xiao Jingrun's ears accurately.

"Just last night, I learned some very interesting news. Although you, Xiao Jingrun, are the descendant of a powerful family, you always disagree with our ideas."

"Mrs. Xiao lost to a commoner woman in Mr. Xiao's heart. Your elder brother, who is always against you, is the descendant of that commoner woman."

"I think the person who hates civilians the most in the world must be you, Xiao Jingrun. But you always want to change something."

"So you...like Zhiyue, have also fallen into such a miserable situation."

The words were spoken steadily and quickly. There were people around, but only Xiao Jingrun heard every word.

His expression was as warm as the wind. He gently adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "We are running out of time."

The celebration ceremony officially entered the final stage. Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Sheng both stood on the stage. Sheng Hui finished swearing in front of them and was about to receive the honor.

Once the investiture is completed, it is impossible to change the inheritance rights unless the person in power has health problems or is overthrown by riot.

It can be said that once Sheng Hui becomes the master of the three major states of the Sheng family, no one will be able to overthrow him, at least in the next few decades.

The possibility of Sheng Huaian's lineage making a comeback has been completely ended.

The powerful and wealthy are all opportunists. At such a high-profile moment, who would remember Mrs. Sheng’s disgraceful past?

Sheng Huaian stared at the medal with a more threatening look. Two standard-bearers in white uniforms followed the President, and accompanied by the Speaker, they slowly walked towards the Sheng family.

The Sheng family members are all on the stage.

Only Sheng Huaian had fallen into darkness, still motionless.

"Fifteen years ago, you were kidnapped. The kidnappers didn't hurt you. They were just very poor, desperate and in need of a lot of money."

"Mr. Xiao is unwilling to pay the ransom." The last sentence was almost silent.

Sheng Huaian's eyes did not change at all, still staring straight at the stage, but Xiao Jingrun suddenly turned his head and looked directly at that unruly and frivolous profile.

He was very calm, "I didn't expect you to understand it so clearly. A man with a sister is indeed extraordinary."

Sheng Huaian's voice tightened a little, "Xiao Jingrun, you damn thing, for your little calculations in your mind, you have repeatedly put Zhiyue in trouble. If it weren't for Zhiyue's cleverness and alertness, she might have lost her life before we even recognized each other."

"I really wanted to beat you up, but Zhiyue persuaded me and told me that she understood your thoughts."

"So, if you're curious about how I know that much about you, you'd better stay here and protect Zhiyue no matter what happens."

Jiang Zhiyue will definitely come!

No matter how many people try to stop her on the road, she will definitely not miss the celebration ceremony tonight!

This is the last chance for all of them, as they watch as the medal, a symbol of supreme glory and power, is about to be worn on the chest of the recipient.

Sheng Huaian's eyes couldn't help but change slightly.

He believed in Jiang Zhiyue.

Jiang Zhiyue told him that the best way to trust someone is to not care and not ask questions, and his only task is to take good care of Jiang Wanrou.

But as the ceremony was about to end, the girl still hadn't appeared, and on the stage, Mrs. Sheng could hardly hide her smug smile in her eyes.

At this moment, Sheng Huaian remembered a lot of things.

Jiang Wanrou, who is still unaware of the truth, and her father, who is dying in the hospital...

He clearly felt that the only person in this world who could depend on him and work hand in hand with him was Jiang Zhiyue.

My mind is full of images of girls.

He couldn't help but rush onto the stage to do something, Jiang Zhiyue's warning still ringing in his ears.

Sheng Huaian even counted down to three silently in his heart, and just as the last syllable fell, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.

Behind him, a large number of security guards were chasing a figure, but the girl's voice was clear and unmistakable, resounding powerfully in the hall.

The target was directly aimed at the people on the stage.

"The son of an executioner is not worthy of ruling the three states. The murderer who slaughtered innocent lives is not worthy of standing on the high platform!"
