Just now, his gaze inadvertently t Bao’er’s, and in an instant, it felt as though the deepest secrets within his heart were laid bare. He broke out in a cold sweat.
"Go, deal with Dong Shuhua."
"R-really deal with her?"
"She had the ans to kill my daughter years ago; why should I keep her after she’s hard my granddaughter?" Old Master Chen said expressionlessly, "Besides, I’ve promised Bao’er, do you think I made that promise casually?"
He had faith in Bao’er, that girl. If he hadn’t agreed just now, she would have taken action herself.
"Yes!"
"That girl is becoming increasingly extraordinary. It would have been great if she were just an obedient, lovely granddaughter, but she turned out to be quite the marvel." Old Master Chen sighed, but his tone was unmistakably delighted.
The assistant director hadn’t seen the old leader so happy for many years.
"Old leader, should we go to Sanshui Town or return to the Shen Family?"
"Let’s go ho! I want to see what kind of ss this family has beco now."
"Yes!"
It’s imaginable—from Mr. Shen’s return, the Shen Family is about to face its greatest reckoning. Back when Shen Yu was involved in such a huge incident, nearly dragging the Shen Family into an abyss, Mr. Shen did not return nor did he intervene personally.
Yet today, he has co personally, and the spread of this news will cause imnse shock.

General Union Courtyard
Mr. Hai had been feeling a bit lonely recently. Usually, Old Su accompanied him for chess and chats, occasionally reminiscing about the passion of years past. But the two had recently fallen out, and after a heated argunt, they swore never to interact again.
He figured Old Su would likely be angry for quite a while, so in the anti, he could only chat with Old Chen.
Probably Old Su had the sa plan, which made it difficult for Old Master Chen, caught in the middle between the two.
What was originally thought to be a treat turned out to be a hassle. Helpless, he established a new schedule: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with Old Su; Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays with Old Hai; Sundays for rest.
Today was Old Su Family’s turn, and Mr. Hai tidied up the vegetable garden in the courtyard, stretching and exercising, which startled the housekeeper.
"Mr. Hai, please stop working so hard; you’re quite advanced in years."
"No worries!"
Ji Lihua entered from the outer courtyard, and upon spotting Mr. Hai, his eyes suddenly welled up. "Old leader!"
"What’s the matter?" Mr. Hai put down the small trowel and stepped out of the vegetable garden. "Why the expression? Did sothing happen with the court hearing about the mobile? Or did Old Su win?"
Mr. Hai guessed while washing his hands, seeing Ji Lihua still wearing a strange expression afterward, he couldn’t help but comfort him: "It’s okay, a loss is a loss! I can afford the embarrassnt. Besides, that child An’an is quite good—I can’t bear it."
"Old leader..." Ji Lihua’s voice choked, and after a long pause, he said, "No, Old leader, Bao’er has been found."
"What did you say? Say it again." Mr. Hai suddenly widened his eyes, the elderly, muddy eyes suddenly brightened astonishingly, as if he’d beco a decade younger.
"Bao’er has been found." Ji Lihua bowed his head, for the first ti feeling how cruel destiny has been to the entire Hai Family. Mr. Hai is old; how can he bear it?
"Where is she? Why haven’t you brought her here for to see? Who found her? I must thank them sincerely." Mr. Hai was overjoyed, his gestures lively like a child.
