Chapter 292 - A Multiple-Choice Question

“Mom!” Shen Xiuwen couldn’t help raising his voice, “don’t say any more.”

“You scared me!” Old lady Shen got angry. “Why? You are so powerful now that you want to teach me a lesson?”

Shen Xiuwen controlled his agitation and coaxed the old lady. “No, I’ve had a meeting today and I’m a little tired. So be it, Mom. We have to go to the police station tomorrow. You should have an early rest, too.”

“Okay! You remember to ask Lil Li to call me tomorrow.” Old lady Shen reminded him before hanging up.

After being interrupted by the old lady’s phone call, Shen Xiuwen went home. He straightened up his tie and prepared to discuss it with his wife. His wife was Tang Yao, who was the leader of the Tang Group, and they met and gradually fell in love, and loved each other very much.

“Alas…” Shen Xiuwen pushed the button of the elevator. When he thought that his wife was becoming more and more estranged because of his mother, he didn’t know what to do.

He was good at dealing with problems in his work, but handling the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was difficult for him.

“Why did you come home late?” Tang Yao was sitting on the sofa to view a document. She glanced at her husband as he came in. “Have you eaten yet?”

Shen Xiuwen had no appetite and he nodded randomly. “Yes.”

“Go to the bathroom and change clothes first!” Tang Yao closed the document and said, “Lil Lu mentioned you when he was about to sleep. Remember to come back early tomorrow!”

Tang Yao was in a good mood because her mother-in-law went to her sister-in-law’s. Shen Xiuwen found that his wife was wearing a sexy nightgown, and he suddenly felt excited. “I’m going to take a bath right now!”

The couple hadn’t had sex so happily for a long time. Tang Yao didn’t have to consider her mother-in-law, so she was very active, which surprised Shen Xiuwen. After indulging themselves twice, he held his wife and gasped for breath.

“Shall we do this in the future?” He couldn’t help begging.

Tang Yao was also satisfied. She poked at her husband, who was lying on top of her. “Why do you think you didn’t enjoy it before?”

“It’s my fault!” Shen Xiuwen made up his mind. “After this matter is settled, l will have my mother live with Lil Li and pay her maintenance.”

Tang Yao was certainly happy, but she realized something wrong at once. “What is this thing? Is your sister in trouble again??”

“Do you still remember the people at the zoo the other day…”

After Shen Xiuwen told the story, he saw his wife’s expression getting more and more serious, and she finally pushed him aside.

“Are you going to help her?” Tang Yao’s good mood was gone, and she sneered while wearing pajamas. “I told you earlier that your sister would put herself in trouble sooner or later. She is narrow-minded and thinks that everyone should respect her ideas. Well, that’s the result. Haha!”

Shen Xiuwen jumped out of bed quickly. “Yaoyao, I know Lil Li is disgusting, but she has been taken away and is missing now. Even if she is wrong, the police will punish him. How could we leave her alone?”

“Do you think that ordinary people can take her away from the police station?” Tang Yao went into the bathroom and her voice came out with the sound of water. “You know that there is a change of the state leadership now. The secretary is watching you closely. You still make a mistake offering him a chance to catch you.”

While fastening the buttons of his pajamas, Shen Xiuwen said, “I know the timing is not good, but they dare not do anything. The matter of his son’s killing is still unresolved.”

“The problem is not urgent now, but it’s my sister’s thing.” He went into the bathroom and massaged Tang Yao’s shoulders. “I think they should be businessmen. Would you check for me?”

Tang Yao shot him a glare. “What shall we do after we find them? Pay them money? Maybe they are richer.”

“We’ll talk about it then!” On the contrary, Shen Xiuwen didn’t worry about that. “You check it for me first.”

Even if Tang Yao looked down on her sister-in-law, she couldn’t ignore this matter. The next day, she got the list from the hotel in the zoo. When she saw the name of Shen Xinglan, she knew the identity of the other party without needing to check further.

“Take a look!” She put Shen Xinglan’s material in front of Shen Xiuwen.

Shen Xiuwen picked it up and viewed it page by page. He gradually frowned. “The Shen Corp in City S… is powerful?”

“The south of the Yangtze River is basically controlled by him.” Tang Yao glanced at him. “If the Tang Group’s ranking is third along the coast, the Shen Corp ranks first in the south of the Yangtze River.”

“But it’s not involved in politics…” Shen Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s all right, otherwise it’s really troublesome.”

Tang Yao was less reassured than him. “You think too simply. The government and business have been closely linked since ancient times. We are the best examples.”

Shen Xiuwen provided political support to the Tang Group, who spent money to help him with everything.

“Let’s find a way to get in touch with them first and find out their intentions.”

In an abandoned old shipyard by the sea, Shen Li huddled on the ground. She could hear the waves and see the light and darkness outside, but no one came to rescue her.

“Brother…” Shen Li squinted. “Why haven’t you come yet…”

She had not eaten enough for two days. She was given water and bread regularly, which could only keep her alive.

There was a sound outside the door, and Le Yi came in slowly.

“What do… you… want… to do?” Shen Li still remembered that it was this handsome man who had taken her here, and now she only felt terrified when she looked at that face.

“I think that depends on your brother’s decision.” Le Yi looked at the surroundings. “You should be glad that this is not our place, otherwise…”

“It wouldn’t be so comfortable.”

“Where… where’s my brother?” Shen Li sat up excitedly after hearing that. “He… he will rescue me!”

Shen I came in and said, “He’s here.”

Shen Li stared at the door, and her eyes lit up when she could see the people coming in.

“Brother!”

Shen Xiuwen hurried over, squatted down, and looked at her carefully for a while to make sure she was okay. Then he stood up and looked at Le Yi.

“What should I do?” Although Shen Xiuwen did not show enough respect to the other side as Tang Yao did, he dared not neglect them. “Tell me the terms. Let’s have a talk.”

Le Yi glanced at him faintly. “Since you came in person, you must care about your sister very much.”

“Don’t talk so much.” Shen Xiuwen stood up and said, “What should I do to get you to release her?”

Le Yi asked, “Since you care so much about her, why didn’t you teach her well? Now she’s in trouble. You can’t save her.”

Shen Xiuwen’s expression changed slightly. “You… you’re not going to let her go?”

“That’s not true.” Le Yi smiled. “We’re reasonable. It depends on you.”

Shen I handed a lot of materials to Shen Xiuwen. After he viewed several pages, his expression became more serious.

“What on earth do you mean?” It was all the illegal things that Shen Li had done…

Le Yi pointed at Shen Li. “How about sending the materials in your hands to the police station and sending the materials in my hands to Jingcheng City?”

“What’s in your hands?” Shen Xiuwen’s heart trembled and he had a bad feeling.

Shen I threw another piece of material to him.

“No… Why?” Shen Xiuwen’s body shook after he gave it a glance. “You… Why do you have these things?”

These were records of his contacts with the Tang Group and other officials. They couldn’t be exposed. If any one of them was exposed, his official career would come to an end.

“I said that it depends on you.” Le Yi clapped his hands. “I’ll give you time to think about it and tell me the result tomorrow.”

Shen Li cried out. “Brother? What did he say? Take me with you!”

“I want to take my sister away first.” Shen Xiuwen looked at the panicked Shen Li and said, “Rest assured, I will not break my promise. I will give you an account.”

Le Yi was ready to leave. Then he turned around after hearing his words. “Are you sure your old mother will allow you to hand over your sister after she gets back? Or can you persuade your wife and yourself to lose office?”

“…” Shen Xiuwen clenched his fists.

Le Yi laughed. “I don’t care. Do it yourself. Since I can take her away once, I can do it a second time. Believe it or not, you can try it.”

That was what Shen Xiuwen really thought. First, took his sister back, and then made a plan. But now… he hesitated. He had already seen the other side’s tactics.

If his mother didn’t agree to hand over Shen Li at that time, the materials in his hands would appear on his leader’s table.

“Brother?” When Shen Li saw the change on Shen Xiuwen’s face, she panicked. “You can’t leave me here alone. I’m afraid!”

Shen Xiuwen had made his decision.

“Lil Li, hold on. I’ll go home and discuss it with your sister-in-law. I’ll pick you up soon!” After that, he glanced at Le Yi resentfully and strode away.

Shen Li was looking at Shen Xiuwen’s back incredulously. She could not believe that she had been left behind.

“You… What did you show my brother?” She knew that it had to be those things that had made Shen Xiuwen change his mind. Suddenly, Shen Li felt panic, as if those things were related to her life.

Unfortunately, Le Yi did not look at her and left.

“What did you say?” Tang Yao opened her eyes widely and reached out her hand. “Where are those things? Give them to me!”

Shen Xiuwen handed Tang Yao two documents that Le Yi had given him. “Lil Li’s things are all right, but our things are… Where did they get those materials?”

“I warned you that they were not easy to deal with. Believe it now!” Tang Yao also felt confused after glancing at the materials. “Hurry up and send them to the police station.”

Shen Xiuwen was shocked. “What do you mean?”

“What do I mean?” Tang Yao stood up. “What do you mean? They had told you that you should hand over your sister’s materials or hand over your materials. What are you doing now? Are you going to sacrifice yourself?”

Shen Xiuwen was embarrassed and muttered, “No, I am discussing it with you…”

“There’s no need to discuss it.” Tang Yao was so angry and covered her chest. “Do you know what will happen if these materials are handed in? Well, you’re all right anyway, but my company is also over, and so is Lil Lu. Have you ever thought about your son?”

Shen Xiuwen staggered back a few steps. “No… Things haven’t gotten so bad yet. We can still… talk to them, or spend money to buy those materials. Yes! Buy them.”

“Shen Xiuwen!” Tang Yao threw the materials on the table at him. “You are so stupid.”
