I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 412 Suspicion

Somehow, the moment their eyes met, four words suddenly popped up in her mind.

——I’ll give it to you to play with.

The corners of Jiang Huashan's mouth twitched, and he turned his gaze away expressionlessly, which accidentally fell back on Shen Lanxi's face.

Shen Lanxi's gaze had been following her, and when they met again, the light in his eyes had dimmed.

Jiang Huashan's eyelids twitched, and she deliberately twisted her neck around, then looked at Shen Zhuang with a smile, "Grandpa, how is Shen Qingyu?"

Speaking of Shen Qingyu, the smile on Shen Zhuang's face faded a little. "Although there are no vital injuries, he will have to stay in the hospital for a month."

Jiang Huashan, "He really is a worry."

Shen Lanxi stared at Jiang Huashan's eyes, and after confirming that she would not turn around again, she looked at Shen Guiling with an indifferent expression.

Shen Guiling noticed something and looked over.

"..."

The moment their eyes met, one was smiling, the other was indifferent and distant.

"Okay. Now that everyone is here, let's eat first."

Shen Zhuang didn't want to say more and told his aunt to set the table.

Everyone looked at each other and followed Shen Zhuang to the table.

Shen Guiling and Shen Lanxi sat on both sides of Shen Zhuang respectively. Jiang Huashan was in a wheelchair and had difficulty moving, so Shen Zhuang had someone set up a separate table next to her, and Zhang Ru was responsible for feeding her.

At the dinner table, the younger generations hardly spoke a word, and the people from the third room occasionally exchanged a few words. Shen Yuan was absent, and Shen Qian was obviously excluded.

In the past, for the sake of family harmony, Shen Zhuang would definitely speak up to ease the atmosphere, but this time he saw it but did not say anything, just concentrated on eating.

Jiang Huashan and Zhang Ru sat at the small table next to her. From this position, she could observe everyone's reactions as an outsider.

After saying a few words, the third room realized that the atmosphere at the table was not right. They looked at each other and then fell silent. Suddenly, the atmosphere at the table became eerily quiet.

Shen Jiao noticed that Shen Zhuang was very different from usual. After hesitating for a moment, she smiled and said, "Dad..."

Shen Zhuang interrupted directly, "Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping. If you have anything to say, let's talk after dinner."

Shen Jiao's expression changed and she looked at Shen Rang silently. Shen Rang shook his head, and Shen Jiao smiled and nodded in agreement.

After taking just two bites, Shen Zhuang waved his hand, signaling Shen Zhi that there was no need to serve more dishes.

Shen Zhi couldn't help but take another look at the table, put down his chopsticks and stepped aside.

As he gets older, the old man basically eats very little for this dinner. In the past, in order to take care of the younger generations, he would deliberately eat a little more, and it was rare for him to put down his chopsticks as early as today.

Seeing this, everyone stopped eating.

Shen Zhuang picked up the silk scarf on the table and wiped his mouth. "Are you all full?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Shen Zhuang stood up. "Now that you're full, let's move to the main hall and talk business."

Zhang Ru was about to put down her chopsticks when Shen Zhuang waved her hand, "Don't worry, come back when you're full."

Everyone's expression changed slightly, and they couldn't help but look at Jiang Huashan a little more. They knew that the old man was partial to Jiang Huashan before, but today's performance was too obvious.

Jiang Huashan didn't care and pointed at the braised lion's head on the plate, "Auntie Zhang, one more."

Zhang Ru was extremely anxious. Although the old man had spoken, she couldn't really take advantage of the favor and become arrogant in front of everyone, as this would incur public anger.

But Jiang Huashan's eyes were firm, so Zhang Ru could only pick the biggest one and continue feeding it.

There is a Twelve Flower God Gate between the restaurant and the main hall. The aunts pushed the partition to both sides, and the restaurant and the main hall immediately became a horizontal hall with a span of twelve meters.

Shen Zhuang sat in the main seat, and the members of the three rooms each stood at one end. Shen Zhi pushed the tea cart and served tea to everyone one by one. After everything was arranged, Shen Zhi led all the aunts in the hall out of the entrance hall.

Seeing this, Zhang Ru hesitated for a moment and was about to follow him out, but the door of the hall was closed firmly from the outside.

Jiang Huashan patted her hands, and Zhang Ru immediately retreated behind Jiang Huashan.

Main hall.

Shen Zhuang raised his hand and picked up the teacup. His eyes wandered among the crowd. He shook his head, blew on the tea, took a sip, and then spoke slowly, "I'm sure you all know what happened at the villa the night before. Tell me, what are your thoughts?"

Shen Qian covered his painful arm and spoke after a moment's deliberation. "The information sent back by the police station confirms that those pirates are the same group as the pirates involved in the Nanwan kidnapping case. Father, this is clearly a deliberate revenge scheme."

Shen Rang said, "These pirates must have landed illegally. The Dark Hall has been investigating for two days and only found the hotel where they stayed in Whale Harbor. Their whereabouts were wiped out so cleanly. The person behind this must be extraordinary."

Shen Che, "This matter was initiated by the Gu family. Could it be that the Gu family planned it deliberately?"

Shen Jiao frowned, her expression serious. "Dad, I asked Shanshan and Suier, and they were injured by two other groups of people."

Shen Rang was stunned for a moment, "What two groups of people?"

"On the night the incident happened at the villa, someone kidnapped Sui'er, and someone else has been chasing Shanshan. It doesn't seem like they're targeting the Shen family, but rather me, Shen Jiao."

As she spoke, Shen Jiao pointedly looked at Shen Qian across from her, "I don't know who I, a woman, had blocked to make someone attack my two daughters."

Shen Rang didn't expect there was such a hidden secret, and looked at Shen Mianzhi with a serious expression.

Shen Mianzhi nodded with her eyelids drooping.

Shen Rang raised his brows and looked at Shen Qian with a cold gaze, "When did the defense line of the South China Sea coast become so lax? If I remember correctly, the commander of the ten ships in the South Bay has a close relationship with Big Brother, right?"

Shen Qian naturally heard the hidden meaning between the two people. He smiled coldly and picked up the teacup without changing his expression.

At his current level, he is not stupid enough to jump into the trap of self-proof just because of someone else's doubt.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Shen Che turned the topic back to Shen Zhuang.

"Dad, the news about the villa has been blocked by the North District Army. Do you know anything?"

Everyone knew that it was Shen Zhuang who ordered the mountain to be closed.

Shen Zhuang put down his teacup and said, "There were four groups of assassins lurking in the villa the night before last."

When they heard that there were four teams, everyone except the person involved that night changed their expressions.

Shen Zhuang seemed unaware and continued, "One group is pirates, they're going after A Ling, one group is snipers, they're going after Xiao Huaer, and there's another group of kidnappers, they're also going after Xiao Huaer."

Upon hearing this, a dark light flashed in the eyes of Shen Guiling and Shen Lanxi.

They neglected this point and almost made an irreparable mistake.

Shen Che was greatly surprised. "Then, what about the other team?"

Shen Zhuang, "There's another group from Xiangying five years ago. They're going after Lan Xi."

"boom--"

Shen Rang was immediately furious and slammed the table, overturning the teacup. "How unreasonable! This is clearly aimed at our Shen family."

Shen Jiao looked at the overturned tea, and a hint of undercurrent appeared in her charming eyes.

Five years ago, Suier was on the verge of death, and it was Shanshan who saved her from the brink of death. Three years later, Suier took a bullet for Shanshan, repaying the life she owed him. After so much effort, the two children finally grew up, and last night they almost died together. Every time Shen Jiao thought about it, she felt like a stone was pressing on her heart, making it hard to breathe.

The child's life is hanging on a tightrope, which is tantamount to slow slicing torture for a mother.

In five years, Shen Jiao had narrowly escaped death three times. Even if she was slow-witted, she had already sensed something was wrong.

She forced herself to suppress the emotions in her eyes, "Dad, have you found out who did it?"
