Chapter 115
At this moment in the capital, in this private hospital, the farce is coming to an end.
Shen Anlin came here today in high spirits. He felt that the days of depression he had been experiencing had finally come to an end, but his plan fell apart so quickly, as if it had all gone to waste.
He has been deceived by Shen Mingzheng.
This man had no weaknesses. Now when he thought back, he couldn't even figure out when this scheme had been set up. Moreover, soon the people he had planted near Haicheng to kidnap the man suddenly could not be contacted.
I originally wanted to do something real to Su Ning and then see Shen Mingzheng's reaction, but I no longer have this opportunity.
What made him even more depressed was that at this moment, Shen Antang, who was lying on the hospital bed, began to laugh. He laughed and coughed, then waved his hand, and someone around him removed most of the messy instruments on him.
He did have some health problems, but they were not serious. He was then helped to sit up. He only said one sentence: "This is enough. Go and ask someone to collect it."
So at this moment, Shen Anlin heard a lot of footsteps, which were the sounds of someone coming.
Soon, a group of well-trained men in black surrounded them and pinned Shen Anlin's men to the ground. The action was so quick that the whole process took only ten minutes.
Then, the door of the ward that he couldn't open opened at this time. There was never any crisis. Shen Antang had always been in control of this place. He just let him in and fiddled with him like a tool.
He lived like this all his life, and there was no way he could turn things around until the end.
It was only at this time that Shen Anlin finally realized what was going on.
He was not tricked by Shen Mingzheng, but by these two people.
Shen Antang was unmoved by the sight of his own brother bursting into laughter after crying. He shook his head with a look of disappointment on his face.
"You are disobedient," Shen Antang said, looking down at him as if he were looking at a dog, "You can't blame me for that."
Shen Mingzheng looked much calmer than Shen Anlin at this time. He was just surprised for a moment and then said nothing more.
However, his surprise at this moment was also pretended. He and Su Ning had expected this.
When Shen Mingzheng came here with Su Ning for the first time, he felt that there was something wrong with this old man.
The so-called succession was more like a provocation, or a test. From the moment he returned to the Shen family, Shen Antang never stopped testing him at every step on the road to becoming the heir, whether he was willing or not.
Haicheng is gradually growing stronger, and these achievements are enough to prove his ability. It seems that this test is over, but in fact it is not.
While he and Shen Anlin were arguing, the old man didn't say a word. This was a catalyst. Until now, the situation has finally reached what Shen Antang wanted.
He was so cautious in selecting an heir. Although there were some excellent descendants of the Shen family before, they all had some unsatisfactory aspects. Fortunately, he waited for Shen Mingzheng.
Judging from the past few years, Shen Mingzheng is indeed the perfect heir. With his bloodline, abilities and character, not only the Shen family but also countless partners he knows have told him that the Shen family will continue to prosper if he inherits it. However, among all these praises, Su Ning is always indispensable.
If it weren't for Su Ning, Shen Mingzheng would never have reached this point so easily. Su Ning's contribution accounts for at least half of his current achievements.
At that time, choosing to marry Su Ning, who had made a comeback, was such a wise choice that no matter how many people envied her, they could not envy her.
Personally, Shen Antang also admired this young man, but the two of them were too deeply tied together, which was not a good thing for the head of the Shen family.
Of course people can have partners, but only one person can sit in the position of head of the household, not two.
The most important thing is that Shen Mingzheng cares too much about Su Ning, which cannot be concealed. It has become his only shortcoming - at least in Shen Antang's eyes.
He said at the beginning that in this position, one must clearly distinguish what is the most important thing.
Shen Anlin has never been the focus. After Zhu Lan made his choice, he was out of the game. All plans could not escape the eyes of the old man of the Shen family, but he did not stop it.
At this time, Shen Antang happened to use it to distinguish the relationship between the two people and Shen Mingzheng's choice.
In this final exam for the successor, Shen Mingzheng's performance was exactly as he expected.
He was calm, not impulsive, and even prepared, knowing that the other party was at the end of his rope. He knew exactly what was most important, without the slightest hesitation. This was a qualified family head.
So when he faced Shen Mingzheng now, he looked kind and gentle, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Shen Mingzheng shook his head.
Shen Antang asked him again: "Is Su Ning okay?"
"He will be fine. I have left some people in Haicheng. It's over here, and someone will clean up over there," Shen Mingzheng said in a light tone. "If he gets hurt, it's just a necessary sacrifice. I will explain it to him after I return to Haicheng."
When Shen Antang heard this, he felt more satisfied and said, "You still have to apologize to him. He has always been very kind to you. This time he suffered because of the Shen family's affairs. You can give him some compensation. Our Shen family can afford it."
He was really hypocritical in saying this.
Shen Mingzheng didn't want to listen anymore and waved his hand: "Su Ning will know it in his heart. He is a smart man. For my sake, he won't say anything."
"Yes," Shen Antang's smile grew even bigger, "something has to be sacrificed, right?"
Shen Antang still thinks that he was helpless.
Although it was not as serious as it appeared, he did need to rest according to the doctor's advice, and some important things needed to be handed over. He still cherished his life very much.
It has come to this point, so Shen Mingzheng naturally played it to the end, nodded, and said: "Yes."
Shen Antang's plan, and even his current reaction, were exactly the same as what he and Su Ning had guessed at the beginning.
In his previous life, Shen Mingzheng had too many dealings with the Shen family, and he knew too well that this family was not that simple, so the two of them came up with this response plan.
Although Su Ning had no experience in dealing with the Shen family, he had seen many faces of this kind of people - they knew exactly what kind of head of the family Shen Antang wanted, so they created one for him.
Everyone is acting, it just depends on who can outperform whom.
Haicheng is not under the control of Shen Antang. Su Ning has not shown up until now, and has been continuing this drama. Until now, Shen Antang still thought that Su Ning was really taken away and was just rescued by Shen Mingzheng's people.
In fact, Su'ning has always been safe, and Haicheng has long returned to peace after experiencing turbulence.
Even though Shen Anlin cut off the signal here when he came, he could still receive the message.
Looking out from this ward, through the glass, one can see a special light on the distant hilltop. It was already evening when the other party attacked, and that light meant that Su Ning was fine, so he was very calm.
When going out in the morning, Su Ning asked if he wanted to go with him, but in fact she was worried about him.
Compared to staying in Su Ning, his base camp, it was much more dangerous for Shen Mingzheng to go to the capital alone.
If Shen Mingzheng had to face them head-on, there was no way he could find a well-trained bodyguard to replace them.
Even though they were well prepared, they only came to the conclusion about Shen Antang's arrangement based on some clues and conjectures. Before setting off, everything was uncertain. If there was any omission, Shen Mingzheng might lose his life.
So Su Ning was very worried. He asked this question to see if he could just not take the risk. There were other ways to deal with the Shen family. But Shen Mingzheng still went.
He knew in his heart that the longer this matter was delayed, the more dangerous the two of them would be. Besides, facing Shen Antang would happen sooner or later, and they couldn't go on like this.
Although there were some uncontrollable parts in the process, overall it was developing according to their plan.
However, Shen Anlin, who has now collapsed, and Shen Antang, who thinks he has everything under control, don’t know that part of Shen Mingzheng’s calmness is really pretended.
Just before the signal was cut off, he received the news that the artist had been kidnapped. Because of this accident, the scheduled signal came on a little later, and he was really panicked at that time.
Shen Mingzheng kept thinking about the layout of Haicheng in his mind, and repeatedly confirmed that it should be the safest place and nothing would go wrong. What would he do if something went wrong?
He thought that if something really happened to Su Ning, he would rush up and kill the two brothers Shen An and Tang. The future of the Shen family was not something he really considered.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong in Su Ning.
So when Shen Anlin showed him the kidnapping video, he was really calm. At that time, Haicheng was already in control, so he no longer had any fear.
Only now is it completely over.
Shen Antang said seriously: "Mingzheng, you are very good and have lived up to my expectations of you. This matter is just to pave the way for you. Don't worry, I will gradually hand over the affairs of the Shen family to you in the future."
In his eyes, he had cultivated for so long and finally produced a winner who fought in the Gu field. In fact, now he had no one else to choose except Shen Mingzheng, and there was no obstacle in front of Shen Mingzheng.
Shen Anlin fell, and it would take some time to clean up the mess.
Such a big thing happened to the Shen family, but there was no news outside. Only some people in the circle gradually received the news, but they did not dare to tell others.
Even the kidnapping case in Haicheng was successfully resolved because all the criminals were arrested and no one was injured. And because the identities of artists are sensitive, in order to avoid public suspicion and panic, the police also respected the wishes of the parties involved and did not make it public.
But Shen Mingzheng, who has now been confirmed to be the true heir, has been staying in the capital and has not returned since then, and it has been almost a month.
For the heir, it is normal to keep such a large family business for several years.
However, what really made those in the industry who knew the situation talk about it and speculate secretly was that Shen Mingzheng and Su Ning broke up!
It is said that in the kidnapping case, Shen Mingzheng prioritized the Shen family and ignored Su Ning. Fortunately, Mr. Su was lucky enough and nothing happened. Although it is difficult to have both, there is probably no one in the world who does not care about the power of the Shen family, but it would be heartbreaking if such a thing happened to anyone.
Therefore, people who are in the know sighed when they talked about this matter. Although no one dared to mention the power struggle, they couldn't help gossiping about the relationship. After a long time, some things were leaked, and people kept talking about this and that, and then more and more messy versions of the rumors spread. Su Ning even saw some people's mysterious revelations on the Internet.
——Love is a cover! The truth about the double S couple is fake after all! It’s just a substitute for power [crying.jpg]
He understood that the double S referred to the initials of his and Shen Mingzheng's names, but he did not quite understand the rather messy and melodramatic stories about the abuse of wealthy families in the post.
He came across it accidentally. The big data of the social network sometimes pushes some inexplicable things to him.
Although it was very puzzling, he still read it patiently because it was related to himself, and finally came to the conclusion that the imagination of netizens is truly amazing.
This is obviously a dark and heart-wrenching literature in which "Shen Mingzheng" has been using "Su Ning" as a shield for the sake of power. Everything is an exploit. It is currently being serialized to the stage where he regrets and wants to get his wife back after he has gained power, but "Su Ning" is already heartbroken.
Su Ning: ...
He has always respected everyone's creations, but this time he really doesn't understand.
