C722 A Hopeless Background

The moonlight was like water, and the starlight was dim. The sky, which should have been filled with stars, seemed to be covered by mist, making it look a bit dizzy.

At this moment, more than a dozen powerful figures of Shen family were gathered in the main hall of Shen family's villa. These Shen family members either held important positions in the various ministries or held important positions in the economic field. They could be considered the leaders of Shen family's generation.

Each and every one of them took out a list. Perhaps they were not really eye-catching characters, but when they were gathered together, it was a very terrifying force, and it was also where the true influence of Shen family was located!

It was a hundred-year-old clan. No matter how low-key they were, they would still manage a lot of complicated relationships in the management office.

Originally, these people had their own matters to attend to in their respective positions. However, under the request of the Shen family's old patriarch, they had no choice but to put down the things they had to deal with and rushed back at night.

At the critical moment of the life and death of the family, no matter what individual matter, it was not important.

It was late at night. These people looked a little tired, and the atmosphere in the hall was also very oppressive.

From the series of events that had happened in Shen family to the results of Shen Mengru's birthday banquet that night, no one in the hall spoke again.

Every Shen family member was smoking non-stop. Their brows were tightly knitted, and their faces were filled with worry.

No one had thought that the situation in Shen family would end up in such a state overnight. The profound strength that had been accumulated over a hundred years seemed to have no power to fight back in the face of true power. There would be no eggs left after the nest was overturned. These people who had the Shen family's mark on their resume were very clear about this. Once something happened to the Shen family, their career and future would come to an end.

However, after sitting here and thinking for half an hour, no one was able to come up with a useful plan.

A person who could make Crown Prince Zhong and all the people in the military lose face was not someone the Shen family could fight against.

"Grandpa. . . Given the influence they have shown tonight, I'm afraid they still have a lot of trump cards that we don't know about. Until now, we still don't know who that Qin Yunyi is. It's unlikely that we can achieve our goal by following the proper path. Why don't we go and beg Mengru? After all, it is the bloodline of our Shen family. We will use Mengru's parents as a shield. If we talk nicely, perhaps Mengru will be soft-hearted? I think. . . Mengru's parents definitely do not wish for the Shen family to be in dire straits. "

The eldest son of the Shen family thought for a long time but was unable to come up with any countermeasures. He could only say with a bitter smile.

Even just a day ago, he had never thought that the Shen family would one day be so submissive. And in just one night, the situation had changed drastically.

"Impossible. Shen Mengru's personality is completely different from her parents'. The experiences she had since she was a child had given her a rather extreme personality. She has a deep-rooted hatred towards the Shen family. I can see it from her eyes. It's absolutely useless for us to beg her. "

Great-Grandfather Shen shook his head tiredly. Suddenly, the word 'reap what you sow' surfaced in his mind.

"But other than this method, I can't think of anything else that can stop the other party from taking revenge. . . Based on the influence that the other party has displayed on both the military and the government tonight, We. . . I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to resist. "

The young master of Shen family said in a difficult manner.

"Let's wait for a while. We don't even know who that Qin Yunyi is. Even if we think of a way to deal with him, we can only be like headless flies. I have already ordered people to search for everything related to that Qin Yunyi. He is the most important person among them. "

Great-Grandfather Shen's eyeballs were completely sunken. " If we can get through this, you have to remember, Hao Jie. You have to improve the ability of your family to gather information. This time, we. . . Died because of the false information. . . "

"Yes. . . I will remember it. " The eldest son of Shen family felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the look on the face of Great-Grandfather Shen. He lowered his head and agreed.

After about five minutes, the door of the villa suddenly opened. The middle-aged man who had been following Old Master Shen rushed in with an ugly expression on his face.

Great-Grandfather Shen took a look and his heart sank once again. "How is it? Is there any news?"

"There is news. This time, we are not investigating in secret. We are openly investigating through all the connections in our family. Plus, the conflict between us and the other party tonight has already spread to everyone, so there's no one hiding the news. The information we got this time is the most detailed and accurate. "

The middle-aged man said with a solemn expression.

"The other party has a very powerful background?" Great-Grandfather Shen looked at the middle-aged man's expression and asked with a frown.

"I also don't know whether this person's background is big or small, because. . . Because I don't understand. They said. . . They said that this Qin Yunyi is currently a major general of the Dragon Rider. Great-Grandfather, what is the Dragon Rider?"

The middle-aged man asked curiously. The reason why his expression was ugly was because of the large amount of things that Qin Yunyi had done in the intelligence report. Regarding the identity of Qin Yunyi, he didn't know what it meant.

"Dragon Rider. . . Major General?!" Great-Grandfather Shen's face was filled with shock as he suddenly stood up. Then, his face was ashen as he sat back down on his sofa. " It's over. . . It's over. . . The Shen family is really finished. . . It's actually Dragon Rider. . . And it's a general. . . How could this be. . . "

"Grandfather. . . What's a Dragon Rider?" The eldest son of Shen family saw the reaction of Old Master Shen and knew that this Qin Yunyi's background was probably much greater than any of their guesses. This was the first time he had seen his grandfather so helpless.2

"What is the Dragon Rider?" Old Master Shen looked at his grandson with lifeless eyes. Then, he smiled bitterly and did not answer his grandson's question. Instead, he continued to ask, "What else? Tell me everything that has been investigated. "

"Yes. " The middle-aged man bowed and told him everything he had found out. Qin Yunyi had killed Su Zhiguo and participated in a special military training.

Apart from Great-Grandfather Shen, all the Shen family members in the hall had dumbfounded expressions on their faces. They stared blankly at the middle-aged man. They could not believe what they had just heard.

"You said. . . Su Zhiguo. . . Was killed by that Qin Yunyi himself?" The eldest son of Shen family swallowed his saliva and asked with great difficulty.

"Yes. " The middle-aged man nodded. "Although I also feel that this is absurd, the source of this information is absolutely accurate. "
