No one knew what Shen Changchuan was thinking, and everyone ate in silence. In the past, they would chat from time to time at the dinner table, but not today.
Secretary Fang thought that Shen Qian's mission was basically complete, and Song Yan was also free of trouble.
Moreover, Shen Qian will arrive in Kyoto very soon.
Anyone who sees Wei Aiguo and knows Lao Shen will have guesses.
If Lao Shen can get Shen Qian's adoptive mother's consent, he can then acknowledge Shen Qian as his father.
Neither Secretary Fang nor Lao Shen believed that Shen Qian's adoptive mother would hinder the family reunion.
The Wei family has a grandson, so whether Shen Qian takes the surname Shen or not wouldn't matter much to his grandmother. As a way of repaying her for raising Shen Qian, Shen Changchuan would certainly provide protection within the limits of his power.
As long as Shen Changchuan is still alive when Wei An and Wei Ping are around twenty years old, it won't be difficult to arrange for them to settle down in Kyoto and find jobs.
Given Lao Shen's condition, there shouldn't be any problem waiting for Wei Ping and Wei An to turn twenty!
It's that woman in Lao Shen's family... who's probably going to cause a lot of trouble.
Song Yan is a responsible and kind-hearted person. But she is definitely not a weak person.
Look at her in Zhejiang Province; even with Old Shen around, Shen Hongxiang looked utterly defeated. Old Fang did help, but if she couldn't handle it herself, it would all be for nothing.
His performance in this operation was remarkable; he showed no mercy when retaliating against Sister Xia, and his sniping was incredibly accurate and efficient.
Song Yan can be said to become stronger when facing stronger opponents.
Even ten of Wen Shujuan's combined wouldn't be a match for her. But why would she bother with that scumbag?
Given Shen Qian's position, he might harbor resentment towards Wen Shujuan. If Wen Shujuan were to send him up to cause trouble again…
But there's Ruomei in the middle! No matter how bad Wen Shujuan is, she's still Ruomei's biological mother. If Ruomei gets involved...
There are some troublemakers in the Shen family. If Old Shen wants to deal with them, they'll have to behave. That shouldn't be a big problem.
But all things considered, the Shen family also has a lot of troubles, not to mention the matter of having Song Yan carry out the mission...
Shen Qian doesn't want to acknowledge the Shen family again!
Old Shen has connections and status.
However, Shen Qian has no shortage of connections.
His military achievements in the Zhejiang Provincial Military Region, the connections Song Yan helped him build, and the support of Elder Zeng all contributed to his success.
Don't let Old Zeng's current downfall fool you; so many people can't help him. But if Wei Aiguo needs help, just a word from Old Zeng and they'll definitely lend a hand.
In addition, he has made another contribution this time.
A young man like him is sought after by every military region; it's not easy for anyone to overshadow him.
So, in the eyes of others, especially Su Zhaohai, Shen Changchuan, whom he needed to win over and be respectful to, was probably just a military commander whom Shen Qian needed to respect!
At his age, he has already achieved more than enough. Even if his father were the emperor, there would be no need to provide him with any special privileges or support at this point. He should accumulate experience for a few years, and then his position will be far beyond the reach of his peers.
Shen Qian was seconded to this mission. The Zhejiang Provincial Military Region never released him.
Old Shen suggested that he withdraw early, and Shen Qian's current superior agreed. The Zhejiang provincial authorities are coming to demand his return immediately. "These are our people; you must return them to us as soon as you're done using them."
This is their attitude: We will not release this person.
Furthermore, arrangements will be made for Shen Qian to study at a military academy. It's the kind of academy where there are no exams, just the paperwork is completed directly. This also implies that he will at least receive a second-class merit this time.
Secretary Fang glanced at Song Yan, realizing that this one needed Shen Changchuan's support even less.
I heard that Master Han is coming back. All I need is for him to say, "This is my disciple."
Master Han had many students, but very few disciples.
Then Song Yan would have a bunch of people protecting her.
As long as Song Yan doesn't kill anyone with the medication, her future will be smooth sailing.
But with Song Yan's medical skills, could he possibly kill someone with his medicine? Absolutely not!
She made herself some pills, and after only a day and a half of taking them, she felt inexplicably lighter.
He has a bullet wound in his leg, and it used to ache and feel sore there if he walked too much.
I walked quite a bit today, but surprisingly, I didn't feel much of a difference. It must be the medicine.
Secretary Fang's thinking is not that Shen Qian and Song Yan are powerful figures who will disown you if they can't use you.
It's not that they don't need you emotionally, because they haven't known you existed for over twenty years.
If they don't need you in terms of material wealth and power, do they need your family's mess?
Commander Shen's pessimism has its reasons...
Shen Changchuan had a lot on his mind.
Shen Ruomei was not the child he had hoped for, but she was well-behaved and intelligent, and she was his own flesh and blood. How could Shen Changchuan not love her? Naturally, he didn't want to hurt her.
However, some things will become endless trouble if they are not resolved.
After the meal, before everyone at the table had left, Zhou Gang came in to report that Aunt Wen had arrived.
Shen Changchuan: "Let her in!"
When Zhou Gang mentioned Aunt Wen, Aunt Liu frowned noticeably.
"Song Yan, let's go back to the bedroom." Aunt Liu pulled Song Yan, intending to leave. She got up too quickly and spilled the water glass.
The staff had all left by then, so Song Yan quickly packed up.
As Song Yan finished tidying up and walked upstairs with Aunt Liu, Wen Shujuan rushed in.
"You went upstairs as soon as I arrived? What are you hiding from?" Wen Shujuan shouted.
Aunt Liu took a deep breath, otherwise she would have slapped Wen Shujuan across the face again.
Aunt Liu simply refused to go upstairs, saying, "Do you even have a place for me to hide?"
Wen Shujuan was furious and really wanted to yell back. But when she saw that Shen Changchuan's expression was unusually bad, she swallowed the words she was about to say.
