et you. Please address me as Ms. Jian."Behind him, Shen Xiujin suddenly spoke, "The precise term is, Madam Shen." His low voice, rising faintly, seemed unruffled, yet carried an undeniable force that..."How am I supposed to do anything, when and how, and still need your permission Hmm"

Shen Yi shivered, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead: "I... Boss, I just think that this happened three years ago. Besides, Miss Wei Ming's call records and text messages on her phone already explain everything. I just think it's unnecessary to waste time on a settled fact."

Shen Xiujin's eyes were cold and deep, like an eagle's gaze suddenly turned frigid, fixed on Shen Yi's face: "You seem to, not want me to investigate what happened that year"

"Suddenly, Shen Yi's face turned pale. Without thinking much, he slammed his knee heavily onto the ground: "Boss Mingjian, I didn't mean it that way. I just feel… Boss… you've changed, you're not like you used to be anymore."

Although Ms. Jian is loyal and devoted to you, Boss, now she has softened your heart. The Old Master repeatedly instructed his subordinates that as the helmsman of the Shen family, you should not be as soft-hearted as ordinary people. That would make you weak and flawed. The Shen family has too many enemies, Boss, you have a heavy responsibility... You cannot become vulnerable because of one woman..."

"Enough!" Shen Xiujin stood up abruptly with a cold shout, his eyes scanning the prostrate Shen Yi. The coldness in his eyes seemed capable of freezing everything!

"Do you still remember how each head of the Shen family chose their confidante" His icy eyes stared at Shen Yi: "When I was seven, I chose from ten people, and the first one I chose was you, so you were named Shen Yi. From the moment you were called Shen Yi, the only master you have served and obeyed is me."

My decisions you obey, my orders you execute. That is the only thing you need to do from the moment you stayed by my side, from the moment you were named Shen Yi — obey, listen to me.

Shen Yi's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. The Boss rarely spoke to them like this, causing him to almost commit a major taboo. His heart was pounding in his chest, and the usually resolute expression on Shen Yi's face turned as pale as a ghost. "Bang!" His head smashed against the ground with a deafening thud. Su Meng, standing beside him, also tensed up her shoulders, holding her breath in fear.

She wanted to plead for mercy, but she dared not make a fuss.

Furthermore, Shen Yi did indeed commit a grave error.

A slave does not serve two masters!

Even if the other person is the Boss's great-grandfather, they can't overstep one bit!

Shen Xiujin's cold gaze fell on Shen Yi, finally showing some emotion. He waved his hand: "Forget it, you atone for your crimes by investigating what happened three years ago, see if there are any hidden secrets."

Shen Yi repeatedly expressed his gratitude and walked out of the office. The moment the door closed behind him, a complex expression appeared on his resolute face... His boss had spared him, showing a hint of human warmth, but ... Shen Yi was not happy about it at all!

There's a touch of humanity in Boss now, a common man's warmth that wasn't there before. Boss is the embodiment of the Shen family, yet he now possesses the kind of human connection only ordinary people have... Back then, Boss would never have let him off so easily.

When Shen Yi looked at Boss, he saw a touch of human emotion on him, which meant the glass had developed cracks. The flawless helmsman of the Shen family had finally shown a flaw.

In the office, Su Meng was still there, "There's one thing... General Shen, I never quite understood."

"You ask."

"Regarding the matter from three years ago, why didn't you look into it before, Mr. Shen, and now you want to investigate it"

Shen Xiujin clasped his hands together, resting them on the desk in front of him. Upon hearing this, his thumb moved slightly... Why did he suddenly feel the urge to investigate something that happened three years ago

Because of Xiao Heng, because in front of Xiao Heng, that Shen Xiuqin, who was seen as a murderer by the world, a woman who schemed and plotted to harm her own friend for personal gain, after being humiliated and berated by Xiao Heng in every way, still walked up to him, even before leaving, she wanted to appease Xiao Heng's anger.

I can't help but wonder, would such a person really kill for personal gain

Su Meng's eyes were slightly cold, "She was released from prison almost a year ago, why haven't you investigated for so long"

“She...had stressed more than once that she was innocent. Three years ago, you didn't want to investigate, and for three years, you didn't want to investigate. Why, now that she's been out of prison for almost a year, can you investigate, yet still haven't It's only today that you're thinking about looking into it”

What kind of reason is this!

"Mr. Shen, you didn't look into this before because you weren't interested, but now that you suddenly investigate, what does it mean You've always been calm and indifferent, the fact that you are investigating means you've realized there are flaws in this."

However, murder is not a trivial matter. You should have realized there were flaws in this, and it wasn't something you discovered overnight. You noticed the flaws, surely it has been at least two or three months.

Su Meng clenched her fists tightly. At first, she didn't intend to say so much, but unconsciously, she recalled the hardships that fool had endured.

"President Shen," Su Meng was so agitated that she seemed abnormal, as if it wasn't for Jian Tong to get justice, but for herself, "Since you've already sensed something was wrong, why did you delay the investigation until today! Don't you know that a woman carrying these heinous charges, every second would make her body and mind more exhausted, every second would change many things!"

Su Meng questioned Shen Xiuqin, her voice growing louder and louder until she herself didn't realize it. She only felt an incomparable sense of joy and relief in her heart!

Let it all out! All those years of grievances and resentment, anger and helplessness, every single question and accusation!

Let it all go!

The face before him, it seemed as if it overlapped with the face of that person from many years ago!

But when the excitement faded, the outline of the face before her became clearer. "Whoosh!" The blood drained from Su Meng's face, "President Shen, I, I, I... I'm sorry! Please punish me, I deserve it!"

The man in the armchair didn't speak. His tall frame rose abruptly without warning, "You make a good point." The man walked expressionlessly toward the door.

As Su Meng said, he had sensed something amiss from the beginning. Why not investigate

That's a good question!

Why not check

He used to ignore it because he didn't care. Besides, all the evidence was there, and he was too lazy to investigate further. To him, Xia Wei Ming, while alive, was a woman Shen Xiu Jin had considered marrying. After her death, that connection ceased to exist. Dead meant no value, unimportant.

As for Jian Tong, he wasn't even worth paying attention to at the time.

Don't even talk about three years in wrongful imprisonment, even if he died unjustly for three years, what business would I have with him

Later on… Later on, why was that

A wry smile touched the corner of his lips... "I wouldn't dare to investigate..." He let out a sigh and walked out of the Donghuang, looking up at the pitch-black night sky, not even a single star.

Why are we checking again now

Why ...Because that woman remained true to herself when facing Xiao Heng. Because of that sentence, "Please don't let yourself become an ugly sight for someone who can be easily disrespected and humiliated," such a woman, how could he allow her to be scorned and insulted by the world!

But what if the truth that comes out shows she's innocent...

How should he face her And what could he possibly do to make amends

Not even a single star.e. This should have been a dream come true.If something were to happen to Shen Xiujin, then she could leave without any hesitation.On the other hand, if she chooses to act impulsively today and takes...
