Chapter 149: Chapter 149: The Shen Family’s Worries

Shen Ming drove the car, charging through red lights all the way home.

In the Shen Family Hall, Shen Hua wept on the sofa as her mother Xie Kailin comforted her, while her father Shen Yuan slammed the table and burst into a thunderous rage!

"That Shen Cheng! I was actually considering sparing her life, yet she’s practically begging for death!"

A pair of weather-beaten eyes brimmed with murderous intent.

Shen Ming sat beside them, remaining silent as if deep in thought.

"Does that woman not own a mirror to see what lowly stock she comes from? Just a daughter of country folk; how could she ever compare to our Xiao Hua?"

Xie Kailin was furious. In her eyes, her daughter was a treasure, whom she longed to cherish and adore in the palm of her hand, unwilling to let her suffer such disgrace.

"Dad, Mom, please hear me out first," Shen Ming lifted his head, signaling for the servants in the hall to leave, before speaking, "Today’s incident might not be as simple as you imagine. Shen Cheng’s return isn’t just to see Shen Mu. She might return to the Shen Family for revenge."

"Son, we are a prominent family now, we don’t fear a Shen Chengzi. Even if she seeks revenge, she needs the ability to carry it out! As the saying goes, ’You have to have the feet to fit the shoes.’ I refuse to believe she has the power to turn the heavens on her own!"

Let alone now, even ten or twenty years later, it’s unlikely that she could threaten the Shen Family’s position in Jiang City.

"Mom, Shen Chengzi is formidable now... you have no idea..." Shen Hua held an ice pack against her swollen face, tears swirling in her eyes.

"Xiao Hua, as the young lady of the Shen family, those people of status respect you out of regard for your dad. Why fear her? She’s just a brute, skilled only in arguing and fighting; what else is she good at?"

"Her backing is formidable." These words came from Shen Ming’s mouth.

Shen Yuan had never seen his son so stern; he calmed down and asked, "What backing?"

Shen Ming let out a sigh, weighted with gravity, "Dad, you should know about the Shi Mansion."

Shen Yuan nodded, "I’m aware of it; I’ve heard the master of the Shi Mansion is a person of significant influence."

Shen Ming fell silent for a moment before speaking, "The master of Shi Mansion is named Shi Yu. Despite his young age, he owns hundreds of luxurious estates and has a net worth of hundreds of billions. From what I’ve investigated, he’s not as simple as an ordinary merchant. He’s involved in finance, the black society, and even arms trading."

As he spoke, his gaze grew dim, "He can no longer be described as just influential, for in the whole Jiang City, no one dares to oppose him."

Hearing this, Shen Yuan’s expression subtly shifted, he asked with uncertainty, "You mean, Shen Cheng’s backing is him?"

Shen Ming nodded, giving a tacit confirmation.

Shen Yuan fell silent, taking his place at the head of the table, his demeanor turning solemn.

Xie Kailin then realized this was not as simple as she thought. The person they mentioned, she had heard of on more than one occasion—a formidable figure who could neither be offended nor could afford to be offended!

The Shi Mansion, such a luxurious estate comparable to the Imperial Palace, was indeed an unattainable place for ordinary people.

Shen Hua wept even harder, her mother could no longer speak words of comfort and could only coax her with gentle, soft words.

For a while, the hall was exceptionally quiet.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Yuan stood up, his voice stern with instructions, "Do not take any rash actions for now. Wait for more details once your siblings return!"

Having said his piece, he grabbed his coat, put it on, and strode out the door.
