CHAPTER 837: CHAPTER 834: THE END

"Alright, it’s nothing, you don’t need to worry."

Jiang Hongtu put down his phone and walked back inside to comfort Qi Huilan.

Since there was nothing special reported on TV news, he let Dou Dou watch cartoons.

This little thing was staring at the TV, grinning with concentration, looking like a little fool.

"Is there news?" Jiang Hongtu hurriedly asked.

"Yes, Yu Donghai, the third generation leader of the Four Seas Group, died this morning at Shengyuan Hotel. At that time, our city leader..."

Qi Huilan was shocked upon hearing this and quickly took out her phone to check her work group.

She also worked in a government department, so naturally she had her sources of information.

Then...

She not only saw the news of Yu Donghai’s death but also the news coming back from Yangcheng.

The Four Seas Group was completely finished. It was said that all the higher-ups were dead, and the entire Four Seas Group was in chaos.

Although the authorities wanted to cover up this news, the commotion was too big, and it wasn’t ordinary people who died, so although there was no public news report, it had already spread privately.

Of course, they weren’t discussing the deaths of the Four Seas Group higher-ups themselves, because their deaths didn’t have much to do with regular folks.

What they were discussing was the unusual and eerie manner in which these people died.

"I heard someone saw a ray of light descend from the sky, and then the people were gone..."

"Could it be that they committed too many sins, and heaven came to claim them..."

"I don’t think so, have you watched the news today..."

...

The group chat was filled with discussions, with a hint of schadenfreude between the lines. No one felt sad for the deaths of so many people from the Four Seas Group.

The world has little empathy; most people just watch coldly and feel schadenfreude.

Qi Huilan didn’t continue to watch but still couldn’t shake off that trace of worry in her heart.

Because if Xiao Shen was responsible for all this, then he really stirred up something too big; she worried the state would take action against Shen Siyuan.

"I asked Taozi. Don’t worry, what’s more concerning is not whether the higher-ups will find trouble with Xiao Shen, but whether Xiao Shen will find trouble with them. Our son-in-law is remarkable..." Jiang Hongtu said with much emotion.

"Is that so?"

"Of course, think about it. In just a short morning, he crossed over 600 kilometers from Bin Hai to Yangcheng, precisely killing off these top personnel of the Four Seas Group. Is that something an ordinary person can do? It’s something only an immortal could probably do."

"And this isn’t over. He should be headed to Xiajing; it’s unknown how much chaos he’ll stir up in Xiajing..."

Earlier, Jiang Hongtu checked his phone again and realized that the rainbow was heading towards Xiajing, prompting a suspicion in his mind.

Shen Siyuan didn’t cause much commotion in Xiajing, only attracting a small amount of attention. As long as there were no official reports, over time, it would be forgotten.

Shen Siyuan didn’t want things to get out of hand; he was hoping the functional departments could promote his charity efforts, which was the most important.

Moreover, he couldn’t distinguish who was good and who was bad, unless it was indiscriminate slaughter, which would certainly throw Xiajing into chaos, messing up the administrative hub. It would not be good for kin or foe.

Even if they were "bad guys," they couldn’t all be killed; it would just be replaced by another batch.

So as long as he achieves his goal, he doesn’t want to create a storm in the city.

"Can you answer me now?"

Seeing Wu Xing wiping sweat, Shen Siyuan didn’t let him off. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and casually asked again.

"If you don’t answer, I’ll assume this matter was orchestrated by your Special Affairs Bureau. Maybe I won’t do anything to you now, but later..."

"We suspect the Song Family." Wu Xing immediately said upon hearing.

He was cautious enough to only say they suspect it.

"Song Family? Which Song Family?"

Shen Siyuan didn’t know much about these forces, so he naturally had to ask clearly.

"It’s the Song Family you’re thinking of." Wu Xing said.

"Didn’t they go abroad?"

"They came back after the reform and opening up because they have money..."

Well, nothing more needs to be said; that was enough. After the reform and opening up, in pursuit of the economy, many places were lenient, as long as there was investment, as long as there was revenue, as long as it brought foreign exchange, it didn’t matter who you were.

During this period, countless Hong Kong businessmen and overseas Chinese came to invest in Xiajing.

Many people thus caught the wave of the times, growing more prosperous.

"We only suspect, not certain." Wu Xing reiterated.

"Alright, I’ll keep this matter in mind for now." Shen Siyuan didn’t immediately go looking for trouble with the Song Family.

Wu Xing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing.

He was really afraid Shen Siyuan would make a big deal of it; though Shen Siyuan could shirk responsibility, the top leadership couldn’t do anything to him. Wu Xing, as the head of the Special Affairs Bureau, couldn’t shirk his duty. His department was supposed to manage these extraordinaries, and such a big incident definitely was his negligence.

Seeing Shen Siyuan getting up to leave, Wu Xing quickly stood up and said, "I’ll arrange a private jet to send you."

Shen Siyuan waved his hand: "No need, I’ll go back by myself."

Wu Xing wanted to say, if you go back by yourself, it’ll cause too much commotion, but he was worried that Shen Siyuan might be upset and it would be bad to provoke him.

At this moment, there was a light knock at the door.

Wu Xing slightly frowned, then said, "Come in."

Then Song Meixian walked in from outside holding a scroll.

"Director, the leader wrote a piece for Mr. Shen. It was just delivered." Song Meixian said.

"Oh?" Shen Siyuan was a bit surprised to hear this.

It’s obvious who the leader of the Special Affairs Bureau is.

"Let me take a look." Shen Siyuan said curiously.

Accepting the scroll handed by Song Meixian, Shen Siyuan directly spread it out on the conference table.

"Every part of this body is from Yanhuang; why fear if distant as close neighbors."

This sentence was quite interesting.

Though they hadn’t met, this piece of calligraphy expressed goodwill.

Shen Siyuan lightly brushed his hand over the calligraphy, and it disappeared before their eyes.

The two didn’t seem too surprised; they were already numb.

"Thank your leaders on my behalf." Shen Siyuan said with a smile.

Then he directly stepped towards the door.

"Mr. Shen..."

Wu Xing hurriedly followed.

But before he could speak, Shen Siyuan had already turned into a beam of light and soared into the sky.

This time, because no massive destructive magnetic field was unleashed, the surrounding cameras weren’t damaged and clearly recorded it.

On the way back, Shen Siyuan didn’t fly across the sky with his sword but used the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to summon Duoduo back to Xiajing.

Her "reversing the universe" was even more magical and faster than Sword Flight.

So before lunch, Shen Siyuan was already back home.

No one could have imagined so much happened in just one morning.

Shen Siyuan also didn’t expect it to be resolved in just a morning.
