C1337 The People of the Shen Family Had Gathered
Moreover, many powers were in Fengxiang City. Xue Chen knew this very well.
But now that Lingnan had encountered a sudden change, who could possibly sit behind all of this?
The people of Shen Family colluded with other forces?
For a moment, Xue Chen felt as if he was trapped in a swamp, unable to walk out of it.
When Kong Xun called the people of Shen Family, he told them that Xue Chen had come and that he was going to hold a family meeting, which made the people of Shen Family come very quickly.
Especially Shen Jiahuan.
One should know that he, Shen Jiahuan, was only the acting patriarch of Shen Family. Xue Chen was the true patriarch, and Old Master Shen had resigned himself to his fate.
Everyone in the Shen Family knew about this, and also knew about Xue Chen's means.
Shen Jiahuan wanted to secure Master of the Shen Family's position. The first thing he needed to do was to deal with Xue Chen. No matter what method he used, no matter what he did in secret, on the surface, he still had to respect Xue Chen as the patriarch of the Shen Family and listen to Xue Chen's orders.
Otherwise, Xue Chen would have enough reason to cripple him, the acting patriarch, and then establish a new family!
Shen Jiahuan didn't want to be crippled by Xue Chen at this time. He had no choice but to rope in the other members of the Shen Family, and the effect was very good.
Right now, almost no one in the Shen Family was dissatisfied with him.
At least on the surface, he didn't show any dissatisfaction.
However, this was enough for Shen Jiahuan. All he needed was to stabilize his position.
Shen Jiahuan was the first person to come to the Shen Family. Naturally, he was also the first person to see Xue Chen.
"Xue Chen, when did you come? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I can send someone to pick you up!" Shen Jiahuan looked at Xue Chen with a smile. "Where's Xuening? Why didn't I see her?"
Xue Chen looked at the smiling Shen Jiahuan and said softly, "I came alone."
"No wonder I didn't see Xuening." Shen Jiahuan's face showed a look of understanding. "By the way, why did you gather everyone here?"
Shen Jiahuan was not very curious about Xue Chen's sudden visit to Lingnan. After all, Xue Chen was the patriarch of the Shen Family, so it was normal for him to come here. However, when Xue Chen suddenly called everyone from the Shen Family back, something was not right.
One should know that there were a lot of people in these big families. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for them to gather all of them together. After all, each of them had their own things to do.
Unless something big happened, all of them would gather together to discuss.
After hearing Shen Jiahuan's question, Xue Chen pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Third Uncle, have you seen my father-in-law recently?"
"Baichuan?" Shen Jiahuan frowned slightly. "I saw him the day before yesterday. What happened?"
"When did you see him the day before yesterday?"
"At four or five in the afternoon!" "What happened to Baichuan?" Shen Jiahuan asked.
"Disappeared." Xue Chen said heavily.
Xue Chen did not tell Shen Jiahuan that Shen Baichuan was in danger and asked for help.
He couldn't trust Shen Jiahuan. At the same time, he wanted to see how Shen Jiahuan would react.
"What?" Shen Jiahuan's eyes widened, and his face was filled with disbelief.
Shen Jiahuan said, "How is that possible? I saw him the day before yesterday. He is still at home. How could he suddenly disappear?"
"Could it be that he went out for something?"
Xue Chen shook his head. "Absolutely not."
"Do you mean Baichuan is in danger?"
"Don't you think so?"
Shen Jiahuan shook his head. "Xue Chen, I don't want to admit it, but I have to admit that Baichuan is the smartest among us."
"Although he has been throwing himself away all these years and getting drunk every day, he still has his martial arts skills. Moreover, he is not drunk. Who can threaten him?" Shen Jiahuan said seriously, "Especially in Lingnan."
"Even if Baichuan is in danger, with his intelligence and skills, even if he is no match for him, he must have a way to escape."
Shen Jiahuan and Shen Baichuan were brothers. Although they did not have a good relationship before, even now they did not know each other.
However, they knew each other well.
Therefore, Shen Jiahuan didn't believe that Shen Baichuan would encounter any danger.
Shen Jiahuan's analysis rang in his ears. Xue Chen frowned slightly. "That doesn't exclude the possibility that he will encounter danger."
As he spoke, Xue Chen kept glancing at Shen Jiahuan. It was as if he wanted to see through Shen Jiahuan's true thoughts.
"I won't deny what you said, but I still don't believe that Baichuan will be in danger!" Shen Jiahuan said heavily.
Suddenly, Shen Jiahuan seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Xue Chen and said, "Xue Chen, don't tell me you suspect what I did to Baichuan?"
"Third Uncle, what do you think?" Xue Chen asked back.
"Xue Chen, I can tell you clearly. I, Shen Jiahuan, didn't attack Baichuan, even though I was jealous of him. " I admit that I am not a good person. But I won't do anything to my own brother. I'm not that vicious! " Shen Jiahuan said confidently, "I know you do not believe me now. I can't explain anything, but time will prove everything. Time will give you an explanation. "
Looking at the slightly excited Shen Jiahuan, Xue Chen's words were not sincere. "Third Uncle, I didn't say I didn't believe you. You don't have to be so nervous."
"I won't say anything to you. Can't you contact Baichuan now?"
"I can't contact him!"
"Did you go to his house to ask?" Wang Yao asked.
Xue Chen remembered that he had been looking for Kong Xun and had forgotten to visit Shen Baichuan's house. Maybe Shen Mannni's mother would know something.
As soon as Shen Jiahuan finished speaking, Kong Xun said, "Young Master, I will go and ask for you."
Xue Chen thought for a moment and nodded.
Although he wanted to go as well, everyone from the Shen Family would be able to arrive as soon as they said so. If they came and he was not around, he would inevitably wait for a while.
Xue Chen didn't care about this little bit of time, but there was a way to save trouble, so why didn't he use it?
Seeing Xue Chen nod his head, Kong Xun immediately left the place.
After Kong Xun left, Xue Chen asked Shen Jiahuan, "Third Uncle, do you know if anyone has come to Lingnan recently?"
"Are you talking about someone from some major power?"
Xue Chen nodded.
"I have never paid attention to that. I am not sure." Shen Jiahuan answered seriously, "You can ask Yang about it later. He should know."
The Big Brother Shen Jiahuan was talking about was Shen Zhenye. Xue Chen knew this very well. He could trust Shen Zhenye, so he didn't ask Shen Jiahuan anything else.
Time passed quietly. After an unknown amount of time, everyone from the Shen Family came to the Shen Family.
Xue Chen and Shen Jiahuan also went to the front yard of the Shen Family.
In the inner hall, Xue Chen and Shen Jiahuan sat on the left and right respectively. Below them were the people from the Shen Family, and they sat in an orderly manner.
Seeing that everyone from the Shen Family had arrived, Shen Jiahuan glanced at Xue Chen. After seeing Xue Chen nod his head, Shen Jiahuan stood up and said, "I brought everyone in today because I want to ask everyone something."
"What is it?"
"Have any of you seen Baichuan recently?" Shen Jiahuan asked.
After hearing what Shen Jiahuan said, everyone was stunned. Then, they began to discuss passionately.
None of them were idiots. Since Shen Jiahuan asked this question and Xue Chen was sitting there, it was highly likely that something had happened to Shen Baichuan.
Otherwise, Shen Jiahuan wouldn't have had any reason to ask this question.
"Mo, what happened to Baichuan?" Shen Zhenye's originally expressionless face changed slightly at this moment. His brows were tightly knit together.
"Baichuan has gone missing. There is no way to contact him. There is no way to find out what method he is currently using." Shen Jiahuan directly replied, "I wonder which of you has seen Baichuan recently?"
"Mo, this cold joke of yours is meaningless. How could Baichuan be missing? I saw him at noon yesterday!" Shen Zhenye said softly, "We still have lunch together."
As soon as Shen Zhenye finished speaking, Xue Chen's face showed excitement. He hurriedly asked, "Uncle, have you seen my father-in-law?"
Shen Zhenye nodded. "Yes, I went to Baichuan's place yesterday. I stayed there for lunch at noon. At that time, we brothers had two cups of wine!"
Shen Zhenye could not help but feel puzzled when he said this.
If Shen Jiahuan had mentioned Shen Baichuan's disappearance before, he would have had doubts. But now that Xue Chen asked this question, Shen Zhenye had to take it seriously.
"Xue Chen, could it be that Baichuan really went missing?"
Xue Chen nodded helplessly. "Yes, we can't contact him now."
"Maybe he went out. I saw him yesterday..."
"No!" Xue Chen interrupted Shen Zhenye. "I got a call from him this morning. He asked me to save him."
At this moment, Xue Chen did not hide the fact that Shen Baichuan had called him.
It was not that he did not want to keep it a secret, but that the matter had reached this stage. It was impossible for him to hide anything anymore. Otherwise, no one would believe that Shen Baichuan had gone missing.
As soon as Xue Chen's voice faded, Shen Zhenye's facial expression changed drastically. At the same time, all the people of Shen Family in the inner hall started whispering to each other.
