Chapter 50: Third Uncle

Shen Ziyu quickly ran out of the living room inside the building and rushed into the arms of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man in a top hat grabbed Shen Ziyu and looked up and down several times to see that her body had not been harmed. Only then did he feel relieved. He angrily said: “I heard that you were assassinated here, and I nearly fainted from shock, so I quickly flew here from Beijing. Who assassinated my daughter? If I knew who the murderer was, I must kill him!"

Shen Ziyu shook her head, showing no interest, pointing back and saying, "Dad, just ask your good nephew!"

This person is Shen Ziyu's father, Shen Luxiang, a professor at Peking University. He is the eldest son of Shen Shichang, the god of Oriental management. Hearing his daughter's words, he was stunned and his face suddenly darkened. He understood that this matter was unusual, and he could not handle it in a hurry. He quickly arranged for several maids to take care of the still unconscious Third Aunt, so as not to let her have an accident. Subsequently, several bodyguards were sent to carefully search the small courtyard where Shen Jiahao lived for evidence. Finally, he took Shen Ziyu alone to the study on the first floor and asked about the details of the matter. After a moment of meditation, Shen Luxiang suddenly said, "This must have been done by the rogue Shen Jiahao. Your third aunt was not involved in this matter, and your third uncle must not have known anything about this matter before."

Shen Ziyu felt uncomfortable at this moment, and suddenly heard his father say such a sentence, as if enlightened and shocked, saying, "Why did dad say this?"

Shen Luxiang paced up and down in study, Slowly said: "Your grandfather is getting older and in poorer health. It is normal for your second and third uncles to start seizing control of the Shen family's industry. However, it is impossible for your third uncle and third aunt to participate in such naive assassinations. Your third uncle is currently a senior official of the government, so how could it be possible to allow the assassination of relatives in their own homes? Even if this kind of thing succeeds, it will leave a lot of news for opponents to attack. It will be difficult for him to run for president again."

Shen Luxiang continued, "Although Shen Jiahao is his son, he has a bad moral character and no basic cultural knowledge. Your third uncle has understood his son. Your third uncle has always valued you, and your second uncle has no children, and he appreciates you very much. These two murders against you were actually chosen at their own family banquets and small courtyards, with despicable and flawed methods."

Shen Ziyu was originally intelligent.When reminded by his words, her heart suddenly brightened. She nodded and said, "Daddy's words make sense, but how do we handle this matter?"

Shen Luxiang couldn't help but smile and say, "We're not doing anything, just wait. You've already reported this to Grandpa. I think your third uncle should be on the plane here."

Shen Ziyu sat for a moment, only feeling agitated in her heart. She said to Shen Luxiang that she wanted to go out and take a breath. Shen Luxiang stopped her and said, "Ziyu, where are you going? We haven't seen each other for half a year, and we only talked for a while. Are you tired of your father? I heard you brought a friend back to the Shen Family Villa this time, and he's a man！Can you tell me about this man?"

Shen Ziyu rarely blushed and stamped her feet angrily, pout prettily:"Dad, you've been in Beijing all the time. You're really well informed! You'd better not teach at Peking University. I think you'll have a better future as a detective!"

Shen Luxiang was picking up a book to read when he heard Shen Ziyu's words, and he chuckled, "When I walked in from the Shen Family Villa, the butler Uncle Shui told me everything about these days. Don't digress from the topic. My daughter is the most beautiful lady in Beijing, and I'd like to see what kind of guy your friend is! He dares to pursue my daughter! I'm going to break his leg!"

Shen Ziyu covered her face with great shame and immediately smiled, saying, "It's good for Dad to meet him. Please help me see if this person is worth dating."

Shen Luxiang saw his daughter's expression and knew she was already in love. He sighed and rolled the book into a volume, pointing to Shen Ziyu and instructing him:“You're a girl, you should be more reserved. In love, you shouldn't be too proactive. Go and call that boy in!"

Shen Ziyu's heart was like a deer jumping around. What sparks would come from her beloved man meeting her father? She walked out of the study and saw Uncle Shui coming in with a middle-aged man with a ruddy face at the door. Shen Ziyu looked at this man wearing a gray silk robe, a top hat, and a thick straight beard on his lips. He was of medium height, but he was unusually strong. His forearms are muscular, his whole body is full of energy, and his eyes are sharp, as if a tiger were about to eat people, majestic-looking！

Shen Ziyu was both happy and worried. She quickly walked over and took his arm and said, "Third Uncle! Welcome home! Because my business has made you come back from remote Beijing, I feel ashamed!"

Her third uncle, Shen Luzheng, was a general in the army before entering politics. He strode all the way in. He ignored Shen Ziyu's words and just pointed his finger at Shen Ziyu, smiling without answering. He entered the study and sat down, exchanging greetings and chatting with Shen Luxiang. Shen Ziyu cleverly stood behind them pouring tea and adding water.

Shen Luzheng drank a cup of tea and turned his head to gaze at Shen Ziyu, saying, "Girl, your grandfather has already told me what happened to you in Wuhan, and now I want to hear from you again."

Shen Ziyu said, "Okay, but it's best for Shen Jiahao to be present."
