Coming out of the space, Meng Tao looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was only a little past three o'clock. She put on canvas gloves and went to the yard to tidy up the small flower bed. She first pulled out the weeds, loosened the soil with a small hoe, and poured out the soil from several dead flower pots and crushed them up, leaving them in the sun for a while. She would plant some flowers and plants tomorrow. Usually, seedlings are planted in the morning so they are more likely to survive.
At this time, two young men with extraordinary looks and demeanor walked into Shen Yu's office. One of them was Meng Zhe Hanlin, and the other one's facial features and demeanor were somewhat similar to Shen Yu, and even their heights were similar.
Shen Yu was sitting at his desk reading documents. He looked up at them, with no surprise on his face. He just greeted the young man who looked a bit like him, "Are you here?"
The young man nodded, and sat down on the sofa with Meng Zhehan. They leaned back in unison, closed their eyes and let out a breath, their fatigue evident.
This man is Xu Hengkai, Shen Yu’s older cousin, who works for the national security department.
Shen Yu stood up, went to get the kettle and made them each a cup of tea.
He had just called Meng Zhehan's unit, and the person on the other end answered that he was out for something. But now he came straight to his office, accompanied by his cousin. Needless to say, he must have encountered some big task, and the two of them were working together to do something.
Meng Zhehan took a sip from the cup, squinted his eyes, and drank it one sip after another without caring about the burn. Seeing this, Xu Hengkai also quickly picked up the cup to taste it, and couldn't stop. After drinking it, he refilled the water himself and looked at Shen Yu and said, "I drank two cups of this tea at grandpa's place. Did you send it? Can you share some with me?"
Shen Yu: "I sent ten kilograms. Don't you have any share?"
Xu Hengkai was also a cold and expressionless person. He shook his head and said, "The good things in the house can be taken as much as the second brother wants. I can't. I'm not qualified."
Shen Yu was silent. In this generation of the Xu family, four cousins did not marry and one cousin did not marry, and they were all over 30 years old. Grandpa and grandma were very troubled by this. Arranged marriages were not allowed these days, and the two elders often frowned at their grandchildren who were unwilling to find a partner and get married. They were just short of scolding and beating the chickens and dogs, thinking of ways to put pressure on them, and deliberately withholding benefits, intending to force them to get married quickly.
As for her married second cousin, she doted on him and granted his every request.
Shen Yu was the grandson, so his grandparents didn't demand too much from him, but he was lucky enough to meet his other half and unexpectedly got married before his eldest cousin.
At this time, I can't help but sympathize with my cousin.
"I left half a pound in my office. You can take it later."
"Thank you, brother. But I won't leave for now. It's a rare trip for me. Now that I've finished my business, I have to go visit my uncle."
"Done? Great, we'll go back after get off work."
Shen Yu glanced at Meng Zhehan who was resting with his eyes closed on the sofa: "My wife asked me to notify someone to come over for dinner."
"Oh, my sister!" Meng Zhehan suddenly opened his eyes: "Have you two registered?"
"certainly."
Meng Zhehan: “…”
He looked at Shen Yu's desk and asked, "Have you finished your work?"
Seeing him like this, Shen Yu knew he had something to say, so he walked over to get his water cup and sat down on another sofa: "What's the matter?"
Meng Zhehan used his spiritual sense to scan and found that no one nearby could hear their conversation, so he said:
"This time, Brother Heng Kai tracked us all the way, and the leader of the underworld that our superiors ordered us to help capture was Rong Jie."
Shen Yu was a little surprised: "That gangster Rong Jie who always wears a half-gold mask and is nicknamed 'South China Sea Golden Shark'? He is so rampant that he dares to come to the inland. Have you caught him?"
Xu Hengkai drank the tea in the cup in one gulp: "He was caught, but it's a pity that he was just a substitute."
Xu Hengkai's originally wooden expression turned fierce, his eyes were cold and sharp: "No matter how difficult it is, I must catch him! He has done so many evil things, and his hands are stained with the blood of so many of my comrades. I wish I could just shoot him to death!"
Meng Zhehan paused and looked at Shen Yu: "Remember Murong Shengjie I told you about?"
Shen Yu nodded.
You don't know about Murong Shengjie until you mention him. Once he is mentioned, many relationships are involved. He is not only the biological father of Wen Lan and Wen Xin, but also the childhood playmate and classmate of Director Shen.
"Then I will tell you now, Murong Shengjie is the 'South China Sea Great Golden Shark' Rong Jie."
Shen Yu was stunned: "Are you sure?"
"I am 100% sure that Rong Jie is Murong Shengjie. This is only confirmed because of you."
Shen Yu understood instantly: "Murong Shengjie met Wen Lan in Jinzhai? He knew Wen Lan was his biological daughter so quickly?"
"Murong Shengjie naturally didn't know, but Wen Lan already knew her own life experience. When she learned that Murong Shengjie was in Jinzhai and that he was the tyrant of Jinzhai, wouldn't she try her best to find him?"
"Rong Jie is so cunning and suspicious, how can he believe Wen Lan just because she said she was his daughter?"
"We thought it was hasty, but they recognized each other - maybe there is some inheritance in the blood of their Murong family, which can be judged by the naked eye?"
"How do we recognize each other?"
"The informant brought me news, and there was a photo of Wen Lan published in a Hong Kong newspaper, saying something like 'Celebration of the Birthday of Mu Wen Lan, the daughter of the Mu family.' They changed her surname but not her given name, and publicized it widely, as if they were afraid that everyone in the world would not know about it."
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows: "Mu Wenlan? Why not Murong Wenlan? She was seriously injured in Province Y, how can she be healed now?"
"The photo shows him in a wheelchair."
Meng Zhehan waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this anymore, it's disgusting. What I want to discuss with you now is that Taotao needs someone to follow her. We have to be on guard against Murong Shengjie's revenge."
"With me here, she doesn't need it." Shen Yu said.
"You are working here now, and Taotao is alone at home! You can't follow her 24 hours a day, so don't be careless! You don't know Murong Shengjie, but you should know the 'Golden Shark'! Ask your cousin and see who is the truly ruthless and cruel one!"
Xu Hengkai nodded: "That's true, we'd better be careful and on guard."
"I understand. Taotao is my wife, my beloved, and someone who is more important than my life. How can I not care about her safety? Don't worry, I will protect her."
Meng Zhehan wanted to say something, but Shen Yu pointed at his watch and said, "It's time to go home. Taotao is waiting at home. Let's go."
Meng Zhehan had no choice but to stand up and planned to persuade Taotao again by saying something terrifying and scary. As long as Taotao agreed to let the security personnel follow, that would be fine.
He and Shen Yu have been good friends since childhood, and he is willing to trust Shen Yu, but nothing is absolute and emergencies are always unexpected. What if the sister he has finally found disappears? Will it be too late to regret?
