Chapter 528: Open Cards! Family Meeting
Qinyuan.
The atmosphere in the flower hall was extremely quiet.
Shen Yuan looked around and was the first to break the silence, "Dad? What happened? Where are big brother and A Ling?"
Shen Zhuang leaned back in his armchair, his expression calm. "Why rush? It will come when it's time."
Shen Yuan was a little embarrassed after hitting a snag, and lowered his head to serve tea to hide his expression.
After a while, Shen Qian and Mo Ran hurried into the flower hall.
"Dad." Shen Qian stepped forward to greet him, then turned around and sat down at the bottom of Shen Zhuang's seat.
Mo Ran looked around carefully and stood behind Shen Qian cautiously.
Shen Zhuang put down his crutches and said, "Everyone is here, Boss, please tell everyone."
Shen Qian rarely showed up in family meetings like this, so he pretended to be polite. "I know everyone must be curious about what happened in the backyard today. We're all family, so I'll be frank."
"Does everyone remember when Shanshan was sued for arms smuggling? The prosecutors already had our counter-indictment plan before the case even went to court. At that time, I had a vague feeling that there was a traitor in the Shen family. Today, I finally caught this traitor."
These words attracted everyone's attention, even Shen Lanxi looked at Shen Qian with curiosity.
Shen Qian's face was gloomy, his eyes wandering among the crowd, "Shen Zhi is the traitor."
"Butler Shen?"
The Shen family was stunned, and after they came to their senses, they all looked at Shen Zhuang at the same time.
In Shen Garden, Shen Zhi represents Shen Village. If such people are traitors, this is a terrifying thing to think about.
Shen Zhuang knew what everyone was thinking and nodded, "This matter has been thoroughly investigated, there can be no mistake."
The old man's words were absolutely fair in the Shen family, and everyone's faces changed when they heard them.
Shen Rang slapped his thigh and angrily scolded him, "What a traitor! The Shen family treated him well, how could he do such a thing? Is Shen Zhi dead? Where is he? Make him come out and explain himself!"
Shen Che nodded in agreement. "If it was really Shen Zhi who leaked the secrets of the court hearing, then there are probably other people involved. We must investigate thoroughly to prevent any future trouble."
Shen Jiao lowered her eyes and silently picked up the flower tea in front of her.
Shen Lanxi was still a little drowsy at first, but upon hearing the news, she sobered up immediately, her brows and eyes stern, "Grandpa, where is Shen Zhiren?"
Shen Qian, "He's dead."
died? !
Almost everyone's expression was one of shock and then another.
Shen Qingyu frowned, "How did he die?"
Shen Qian already had a plan in mind, so he took the opportunity to tell Shen Zhi about his conspiracy to murder Jiang Huashan.
"Yao Zilei stumbled into Qiu Garden and stumbled upon Shen Zhi's plot, and was also tied up by him. I had already suspected Shen Zhi during my previous secret investigation. Seeing his strange behavior today, I sent someone to keep an eye on him. I happened to see him trying to kill Yao Zilei. After a fight, Shen Zhi was mistakenly killed on the spot."
Hearing that Shen Zhi's target was still Jiang Huashan, Shen Qingyu and the others changed their expressions. Only Shen Lanxi frowned slightly and looked at Shen Qian with an uncertain expression.
This is not true, there are obvious loopholes in it.
Soon, the other members of the Shen family also reacted. Shen Qingyu looked at Shen Qian with suspicion, "Before in the Peony Garden, it was clearly Grandpa who left the table first. If it was really as you said, why did you and Uncle Yao leave together?"
Shen Zhuang raised his hand to pick up the teacup, took a sip and continued, "The boss did it secretly and didn't dare tell me that the person was dead. It was Zheng Song who noticed something was wrong and I found out what happened. It was my idea that the boss and Yao Li left the table. There is no need to question this matter."
Shen Qian raised his eyebrows unconsciously, feeling quite proud.
After all these years, when had the old man ever been so partial to him? It seemed that the old man was gradually discovering his shining points.
Shen Zhuang has absolute credibility in the Shen family. After this statement was made, no one dared to question Shen Qian's motives.
Except Shen Lanxi.
Although he had drunk quite a bit of wine during the meal and was already a little drowsy, Shen Zhi's attempt to murder Jiang Huashan instantly sobered him up. Although his eyes were still a little blurry, his mind was extremely clear.
There are still loopholes in Shen Qian's words.
Given his suspicious and cautious nature, he would never have shot Shen Zhi after discovering his betrayal. Firstly, he was afraid of becoming the culprit crying "Catch Thief!"; secondly, he would never miss such a good opportunity to play it safe and catch a big fish.
But the most suspicious thing is what grandpa just said.
Shen Lanxi raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Zhuang. Why did grandpa trust Shen Qian so much?
After thinking for a moment, he took the initiative to ask, "Uncle, how is Yao Zilei?"
Shen Qian said, "The left lung was injured, but fortunately his life is not in danger. Yao Li has already taken him back. However, this matter cannot be resolved with just an apology. Is the Yao family still waiting for an explanation from the Shen family?"
"An explanation?" Fu Suier asked subconsciously. Seeing everyone looking at him, he asked back, "Isn't Shen Zhi's death an explanation?"
Shen Qian was stunned. In the past, girls were not allowed to speak at family meetings, let alone even sit at the table. He glanced at Shen Zhuang silently, and seeing that the old man did not stop him, he was hesitating about how to respond when Shen Mianzhi whispered, "Uncle, you mean there is someone behind Shen Zhi, right? Only by revealing the person behind it can we truly have an explanation."
"..." Shen Qian glanced at Shen Zhuang again. Seeing that he still had no reaction, he nodded and sorted out his words, "That's right. I called everyone here today to tell you that we have found out that there is a traitor in our Shen family."
"This traitor not only reached out to the old man, but also attempted to kill the younger generation of the Shen family. The Shen family motto is that sharp knives should not be used internally. This person's plan is no longer worthy of being a member of the Shen family."
"I advise that person, since he has already revealed his true colors, he should just confess his crime. Otherwise, when I find out about him, the Shen family's rules will not let him off easily."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed and they looked at each other.
Shen Che frowned, somewhat disapprovingly, "Brother, we're all family. You can't say anything without evidence." He then turned to look at Shen Zhuang, "Dad, please say something."
Shen Zhuang stood up with the help of his cane. "What the boss means is what I mean. I'm going to make this clear today. I don't care who you are. If you touch my child, there will be no place for you in the Shen family from now on. Hide well, or you'll be dead if you're caught."
