Shen Hong, Shen Qiu and Shen Yu were not stupid. They knew something was wrong from Shen Qi's tone, especially Shen Yu. She didn't dare to make any jokes and told him everything about where she went and what she did in the afternoon.
In fact, they didn't go anywhere. Shen Yu's main task was to check the entertainment venues under the name of the Shen family to see if there were any shameful things, such as bars, KTVs, game cities, etc.
These are all Shen family businesses and generally won't cause any problems.
At around 3:30 in the afternoon, she and Zhao Xiaowan had afternoon tea together, and nothing special happened during that time.
At least in the eyes of Shen Yu and Zhao Xiaowan, nothing special happened during afternoon tea.
After afternoon tea, Chen Yu went shopping casually and came back at about half past six. Nothing special happened during that time.
After Shen Yu finished speaking, he looked at Shen Qi and said, "Second Grandpa, what happened?"
Shen Qi flicked his right hand lightly, and a barely detectable white mist appeared around Shen Yu.
The mist condensed in the air and turned into a water droplet, floating in the air.
"This stuff is extremely poisonous. One drop is enough to kill you. If you only had afternoon tea outside this afternoon, someone must have tampered with your afternoon tea. Fortunately, you were wearing the jade pendant I gave you, otherwise you would have died!"
When Chen Yu heard this, he immediately showed a look of fear.
She absolutely believed what Shen Qi said.
"But I really didn't notice anything wrong."
Shen Qi said: "The person who attacked you is a very professional killer and will not easily reveal his flaws. Moreover, I suspect that the person who attacked you is the same person who attacked Shen Qiu."
"What? Second Uncle, are you saying that someone attempted to assassinate Qiu'er and Xiaoyu these past two days? How come I didn't know anything about it?"
Shen Hong's face instantly changed color, and most of his drunkenness dissipated.
Judging from what Shen Qi said, the person who attacked Shen Qiu and Shen Yu must be a very professional killer. If Shen Qi had not given them the means to save their lives, his children would probably have died.
Shen Qi glanced at Shen Hong and said, "Don't worry, if the killer can't kill Shen Qiu and Shen Yu, he will do it to you sooner or later."
Chen Qiu also said: "Father, I also think this problem is a bit serious. This is definitely Cheng Xishan's trick in the dark. We can't tolerate it anymore. We must fight back as soon as possible!"
Shen Hong pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Do you have any evidence that can bring down the Cheng family? If not, we can only take it slowly."
"I also know that it was Cheng Xishan who was behind this. He can use such despicable means, but we can't, because our Shen family still wants to develop in Jincheng, and we can't let him be easily caught."
Shen Qi laughed, "You're just worrying too much. Shen Qiu and Shen Yu were both assassinated. Even if there's no evidence, so what? Can't we just kill Cheng Xishan directly? Do we have to wait until there's sufficient evidence before taking action?"
More than a hundred years ago, Shen Qi would not think like Shen Hong. He never cared whether there was evidence or not. As long as he had doubts, he would take action directly. Anyway, with his methods, there was nothing that could not be investigated clearly after he took action.
But it’s no use now. After all, he just came out of seclusion a few days ago and doesn’t know much about today’s society. He won’t kill people easily.
Another reason is that Shen Hong is the head of the Shen family. How the Shen family develops is decided by Shen Hong. The most he can do is to help at the appropriate time, rather than making decisions on behalf of Shen Hong.
If Shen Hong develops a dependent mentality towards him, once he enters seclusion again, it will be difficult for the Shen family to develop.
Shen Hong thought about it and shook his head. "No, if Cheng Xishan dies at this time, even if there is no evidence pointing to our Shen family, it will arouse everyone's suspicion. For the future development of the Shen family, I would rather use legitimate means to wipe out the Cheng family step by step! If Cheng Xishan reveals a flaw in this process, then I don't mind using some means to send him into the abyss!"
Seeing Shen Hong's firm attitude, Shen Qi didn't say anything. Anyway, the three of them had life-saving items he gave them. No matter how powerful the killer was, he couldn't hurt Shen Hong and the other two. The fact that Shen Yu was able to return safely today was the best proof.
Shen Hong suppressed his dissatisfaction and looked at Shen Qiu again.
"Qiu'er, how's the situation at the financial company?"
Speaking of financial companies, Chen Qiu immediately became excited.
"Father, you don't know that Wei Yingrong, sent by the Wei family from Magic City, is truly amazing. She spent the entire afternoon sorting out the entire financial company's structure. She also discovered many detailed issues based on the records from the day of the incident. However, we haven't yet compiled these details. Wei Yingrong said she'll give me an accurate conclusion tomorrow morning."
Shen Hong nodded. "Yes, the reputation of the Magic City Wei family in the financial world is obvious to all. The people they send out are definitely elite soldiers and generals! With the help of the Wei family, our financial company will be able to recover quickly!"
Shen Qi coughed twice, “Shen Hong, you don’t want to always rely on the Wei family’s help, right?”
Shen Hong hurriedly shook his head, "Of course not! What I mean is, let the Wei family help to sort out our company's affairs. Shen Qiu will stay with Wei Yingrong during this period and study financial management. From now on, this financial company will be handed over to Shen Qiu to manage."
"The financial company is very important to our Shen family and must not be handed over to outsiders!"
Shen Qi nodded, "I'm glad you understand. Okay, let's all go."
