Beauty's Evil Bodyguard

In the Shen Family, Xue Chen was sitting at the head of the inner hall, frowning.    

Today, the people of the Shen Family were all looking for Shen Baichuan. They were all checking if any other forces had entered Lingnan, but there was still no news.    

No one had seen Shen Baichuan, and no one had found out if any foreign forces had come.    

The entire Lingnan was the same as before. It was exceptionally quiet, but there was a strange atmosphere in it.    

Shen Jiahuan and Shen Zhenye sat together with Xue Chen in the inner hall. The three of them were surprisingly silent. None of them had any intention of speaking.    

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Jiahuan could not help but sigh. He slowly said, "Xue Chen, I think that since they do not want us to find them, no matter what method we use, it will be very difficult to find them."    

"Moreover, if they want to deal with you, they will naturally take the initiative to contact us. I think we can only wait now!"    

Xue Chen slowly raised his head and looked at Shen Jiahuan. "Third Uncle, I know what you said, but they haven't contacted me yet. Don't you feel that something is wrong?"    

"Something is wrong, but I can't say for sure. He just wants to hang you."    

Xue Chen fell silent when he heard what Shen Jiahuan said.    

It was not that there was no such possibility. It was just that it was too small.    

At this moment, the silent Shen Zhenye suddenly said, "There is another possibility."    

"What possibility?" Shen Jiahuan asked immediately.    

Shen Zhenye looked at Shen Jiahuan, then at Xue Chen. "Baichuan is not in his hands at all. He did not catch Baichuan."    

"That's right!" Xue Chen immediately said, "When he called me back then, he was asking for help. In other words, he was in danger, but that was all. If he fell into the enemy's hands, he would not have the chance to contact me."    

"We can wait, but we can't just sit and wait!" Shen Zhenye said with a serious face.    

"Do you mean we can wait and find Baichuan at the same time?" Shen Jiahuan asked with a frown.    

"Yes!" Shen Zhenye nodded. "Not only do we need to increase our strength, but we also need to expand our territory and not let any suspicious places go. At the same time, we can also offer a huge reward. As long as we can provide us with information, we will give him money!"    

Although Shen Zhenye's method was very old-fashioned, he had to admit that it was the most effective method.    

One must know that all the people in the world were rushing for profit, and all the people in the world came for profit!    

No matter who you were, you were all running for benefits.    

And money could push everything.    

Shen Jiahuan did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Xue Chen.    

"Let's do as Big Uncle says!" Xue Chen agreed with Shen Zhenye's suggestion. "Use all the forces in the city to search. As long as we can find them, we will give them whatever they want."    

"As long as the information is accurate."    

"I will do it!" Shen Zhenye immediately stood up and left, not caring if Xue Chen had anything else to say.    

After Shen Zhenye left, Xue Chen looked at Shen Jiahuan. "Third Uncle, is there any movement from Shen Second?"    

"Nothing happened to him. It's normal. He had an alibi yesterday." Shen Jiahuan said without hesitation, "You asked us to check if he had any contact with anyone recently. We also checked."    

"However, we have not been in contact with him often. It is just that we have been in contact with his son Shen Zichun quite frequently."    

"Who?"    

"Lih Xinyao," said Lih Xinyao.    

"Lih Xinyao?" Xue Chen frowned slightly, as if he had fallen into some kind of memory.    

The next moment, Xue Chen seemed to have thought of something. He said again, "Is it the one who used to have a good relationship with Xuening?"    

"Yes, it's her!" "She has been in contact with Shen Zichun a lot recently, but I don't think there is a problem."    

"Lih Xinyao's reputation in Lingnan has always been a mess. She is a famous socialite, and she often gets along with men!" Shen Jiahuan added, "She is with Shen Zichun because of the Shen Family."    

"Third Uncle, if you say that if I expel you from the Shen Family, will there be other women who will cling to your son?"    

If Lih Xinyao and Shen Zichun were born together, Xue Chen might believe Shen Jiahuan's words. But now that Shen Zhiwen was expelled from the Shen Family, Lih Xinyao and Shen Zichun were very close.    

If there was nothing fishy about it, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.    

Shen Jiahuan's expression changed slightly. "Xue Chen, what do you mean?"    

"Investigate!" Xue Chen said heavily. "Investigate Lih Xinyao and Shen Zichun for me."    

Shen Jiahuan understood what Xue Chen meant. He knew the importance of this matter. "I will investigate now."    

"Wait a minute!"    

"Anything else?" Shen Jiahuan asked.    

"Third Uncle, be careful. Don't alert them. You know what I want to say."    

"Don't worry. I won't alert them."    

Xue Chen nodded in satisfaction.    

After Shen Jiahuan left, Xue Chen stood up and let out a breath of sulk. He walked outside.    

As soon as Xue Chen walked out of the house, he met Kong Xun who was walking towards him.    

"Young master..."    

"Grandpa Kong, is there any news?"    

Kong Xun shook his head. "There is no news yet, but I found some ashes in Baichuan's study room."    

"Smoke ashes?" Xue Chen frowned slightly.    

"That's right." Kong Xun said seriously, "As far as I know, Baichuan rarely smokes, especially when he's at home. He never smokes."    

"You mean, the ashes in his study room were left by someone else?"    

"That's right." Kong Xun nodded.    

"Grandpa Kong, is it possible that my father-in-law is upset?"    

"I don't think so. He really doesn't smoke at home, especially in his room."    

Xue Chen frowned again when he saw Kong Xun was so sure. Did someone go to Shen Baichuan's study room?    

But since Kong Xun had gone to Shen Baichuan's study room, why was he smoking in there?    

Wasn't this obviously looking for excitement?    

For a moment, Xue Chen felt a headache coming on.    

"Grandpa Kong, do you have a cigarette butt?"    

Kong Xun smiled bitterly. "If only I had a cigarette butt."    

Kong Xun knew that Xue Chen wanted to use the cigarette butt for appraisal. But he found all the places in the study. He didn't even find the cigarette butt in the yard.    

Xue Chen exhaled. "What else did you find?"    

Kong Xun shook his head bitterly.    

Xue Chen sighed as well.    

...    

The night was very cold, especially when the cold wind hit something. It felt bone-piercing.    

Shen Zhiwen stood in front of the French window and opened it. He let the cold wind blow in from outside.    

Perhaps it was because he was hit by the cold wind that Shen Zhiwen did not feel tired at all. At the same time, he seemed very energetic.    

Shen Zhiwen just laid there by the window, motionless like a wax statue. His face was calm, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.    

Time passed. After an unknown amount of time, the sound of high heels tapping suddenly came from the stairs, pulling Shen Zhiwen back to reality.    

After coming back to his senses, Shen Zhiwen immediately turned his head and looked towards the stairs.    

In the next moment, a woman wearing a mink fur coat entered Shen Zhiwen's line of sight.    

When Shen Zhiwen saw this woman, a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face. "Xinyao, you're here!"    

Lih Xinyao had a charming smile on her face as she said softly to Shen Zhiwen, "Uncle Shen, why are you alone? Where's Young Master Shen?"    

"He should be here. Let's talk first."    

Shen Zhiwen reached out and closed the window. He then led Lih Xinyao to the living room.    

"What would you like to drink?"    

"Anything," Shen Zhiwen said.    

Shen Zhiwen did not ask any more questions. He went to get a bottle of wine and two glasses.    

After pouring the wine, Shen Zhiwen asked impatiently, "Xinyao, you said that there was someone else who made it. Who is this person?"    

"Uncle Shen, I think we should wait for Young Master Shen to come. Let's talk about it." Lih Xinyao looked at Shen Zhiwen with a smile.    

"What? If he doesn't come, why can't we talk about it?" Shen Zhiwen asked.    

"That's not it!" Shen Zhiwen looked unhappy. "If Young Master Shen has any doubts, we will have to explain it to him. He might as well come. Let's talk about it later!"    

"I think Uncle Shen won't be able to wait for a while, right?"    

Since Lih Xinyao had said so, Shen Zhiwen could not ask any more questions. His son, Shen Zichun, would be here soon anyway. It would be the same if he asked any more questions.    

After that, Lih Xinyao and Shen Zhiwen began to chat.    

While the two of them were chatting, Shen Zichun finally rushed over.    

After arriving here, Shen Zichun walked to Lih Xinyao's side and sat down. "Lih Xinyao, what happened to Shen Baichuan? Did you guys do it?"    

Shen Zichun was still in Shen Family. He knew very well now that Xue Chen was suspecting his father.    

If someone did something in the dark, In that case, Shen Zhiwen might have to take the blame.    

"Young Master Shen, don't be angry. This has nothing to do with us." Lih Xinyao said with a smile.    

"Who else could it be if it wasn't you?"    

Lih Xinyao did not say anything. Instead, she picked up the wine glass and gently drank a mouthful of wine.    

Shen Zhiwen saw this and asked with some dissatisfaction. "What is it, Xinyao? Can't you say it now?"    

"Uncle Shen, Young Master Shen, I think we should talk about other things before we talk about this."    

"We are only interested in Shen Baichuan now."    

"I don't know if you are interested in Shen Baichuan or your life or death."    

The smile on Lih Xinyao's face grew wider as she spoke.
