Shen Nanxing looked at the two staring at each other, but offered no explanation. He simply said calmly, "It's getting late. If there's nothing else, we'll go back and rest."
"Wait a minute," the old man reached out to stop Shen Nanxing, "Nanxing, that mutated octopus..."
"An'an and I will go to the beach after dawn."
Shen Nanxing understood the old man's implication: "But success cannot be guaranteed. Retreating, while not the best option, is the last resort."
"Yes, I know, I'll be prepared with a backup plan."
The old man's eyes flickered slightly, his expression somewhat obscure in the candlelight.
If Hua Guo is the general, then the Shen family is the sword in the general's hand. They coexist and protect each other, but only he and the Shen family know this.
The situation in Beijing has just stabilized and cannot withstand any more panic in the short term, so the problem on the sea can only be entrusted to the Shen family.
Only after the problem in the sea area is resolved can he allocate manpower to stabilize the situation in other places.
"I will continue to send people to assist you in investigating the Bi family."
After a pause, the old man spoke again.
The head of the six families must be the Shen family, and only the Shen family. He cannot trust any other family.
"I won't stand on ceremony with you, there really is something I need your help with."
Shen Nanxing took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket and gently pushed it in front of the old man. "Grandpa Long, please send someone to investigate this address secretly."
The old man took the paper but didn't look at it. He simply put it solemnly into his pocket and nodded, "Don't worry."
Seeing that the old man had agreed, Shen Nanxing did not linger any longer, and got up to leave with his arm around Jiang Nian'an's shoulder.
"Wait for me!" Shen Su quickly chased after him.
When they came out, they only saw the car that had already driven away.
Shen Su: "..." There was no need to walk so fast~
"gentlemen."
Standing heavily at the alley entrance, he called out dejectedly, "If you don't leave now, you'll set a record for the first time you've stayed out all night since you got married."
"What?"
Shen Su was stunned. He quickly glanced at the time; it was already past four in the morning. "Damn it, let's go!"
Under Shen Su's relentless urging, the journey to the Shen family, which should have taken an hour, was shortened to a mere half hour.
As soon as he parked the car, Shen Su rushed into the main house at top speed, taking three steps at a time to get back to where he and Lin Qiuning lived.
The room was dimly lit. Lin Qiuning was curled up on the chaise longue, covered with a thin blanket, her brows furrowed, sleeping very restlessly.
Shen Su felt a pang of pain in his heart. He strode over to Lin Qiuning, knelt down beside her, and pulled her into his arms, his voice as gentle as a feather, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here~"
Hearing a familiar voice in a familiar embrace, Lin Qiuning's brows gradually relaxed, and she finally fell asleep peacefully.
Shen Su then picked her up, walked to the bedside and put her down, then lowered his head and kissed Lin Qiuning's forehead. "Wife, I'm going to wash up and I'll be right back."
Lin Qiuning unconsciously hummed in her sleep.
Shen Su then hurriedly entered the bathroom.
Under the moonlight, two small heads peeked out from the windowsill, peering curiously through the gap in the curtains.
'Hiss'
'Waaah'
After a brief exchange, Little Silver and Little Blood Fox shook their heads at the same time and silently crawled back.
Oops, my mistake! On my first visit to the Shen family home, I intended to familiarize myself with the area, but I accidentally stumbled into the residence of the male head of the household's parents.
The two little ones soon joined up with the king, who was keeping watch below, and told him everything they had just seen.
The king blinked and silently made a mental note of it.
Soon, the three little ones had climbed far away.
Shen Nanxing had already informed the Shen family's bodyguards of their identities, so when the patrol team saw the three kings swaggering around, they simply pretended not to see them.
On the other side, Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an were sitting together eating.
"There's so much going on in wealthy and powerful families!"
Jiang Nian'an munched on roasted corn while reminiscing with Shen Nanxing.
Shen Nanxing paused in peeling the lychee for her, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes. An'an hated trouble the most.
He swallowed, about to speak, when he heard Jiang Nian'an say, "It's one thing to cause trouble, but you even got hurt, Brother Chen..."
Jiang Nian'an took a big bite of corn. "Don't let me catch you! If I do, I'll throw them all into the sea to feed the fish!"
"An'an..."
"I don't like trouble, but if that trouble is about you..."
Jiang Nian'an raised her hand and gently stroked Shen Nanxing's face, interrupting him, and said in the gentlest voice, "I just want them to die without a burial place."
"An'an~"
Shen Nanxing felt as if a flower had burst open in his heart, radiant and warm, as if it were forcing out all the bitterness he had felt over the years.
I can't help it, and I don't want to.
Shen Nanxing lowered his head and placed a heavy kiss on Jiang Nian'an's lips, his domineering yet tender and gentle manner showing both eagerness and fear of hurting her.
Only when the two of them fell onto the sofa, and Jiang Nian'an's eyes were tinged with red, did Shen Nanxing reluctantly stop.
'Chirp—'
In the corner, Little Purple nestled on a penguin pillow, watching the two being affectionate, and angrily banged her head on the ground.
That scoundrel is trying to steal his owner again with his lewd behavior!
It's just a shame that it's a vine and can't become a person, otherwise, how could it be that it and its master are the best in the world!
snort!
Wait a minute—Angry Little Purple suddenly remembered something.
