Yu Qiang quickly came back with something. It was a square rubik's cube, but it was bigger than a normal rubik's cube.
"This is …" Yu Qiang paused. "Little Chu prepared this a long time ago, but … she didn't have time to give it to you. Today, Auntie Yu decided to give it to you as a wedding gift."
Shi Sheng looked at the rubik's cube for a long time before taking it. "Thank you, Auntie Yu."
"Little Chu will be happy if she knows you're married." Yu Qiang looked sad.
Shi Sheng held the rubik's cube tightly. "Auntie Yu, I'll leave first."
Yu Qiang quickly sniffed. "Oh, okay. Auntie Yu will walk you out."
Shi Sheng and Yu Qiang came out of the room. She naturally held Feng Ci's hand. "Auntie Yu, you don't have to walk us out. We'll go out ourselves."
Yu Qiang just smiled and nodded. She walked them to the door, but she didn't go out. Perhaps she was afraid that she would be sad if she saw her leave.
Shi Sheng and Feng Ci walked side by side out of the old alley. Feng Ci glanced at the rubik's cube in her hand several times. "Why didn't you take her away from here?"
"Everyone has their own way of living. I can't force my will on others. Living here is her original wish."
Shi Sheng looked down at the rubik's cube for a moment before putting it away. "Let's go. It's time to go back."
Shi Sheng hadn't even returned to the hotel when Shi Fang frantically called her. "Clan Head, something's happened at Frost Moon Street! Someone brought explosive items into Frost Moon Street, causing it to be engulfed in flames …"
From Shi Fang's image, he could see the thick fire behind him.
Shi Sheng stared behind him for a long time without saying anything. Shi Fang didn't dare to make a sound either. He held his breath and waited for Shi Sheng's orders.
Shi Fang waited for a long time until Shi Sheng hung up.
He turned to look at the fire in the distance. It was a blatant provocation.
…
After Shi Sheng hung up, he changed the route to Frost Moon Street. She suddenly reached out her hand. "Let me hug you."
Feng Ci immediately leaned over and hugged her.
Her breathing was slow, as if it was no different from usual. But Feng Ci felt a chill. She must be very angry now.
Why? Frost Moon Street? What was there?
Some random thoughts appeared in Feng Ci's mind.
She didn't say anything until the hover car came to a stop. Then, she let go of him. Her expression was normal, and there was nothing wrong with her at all.
When she opened the car door, Feng Ci grabbed her and kissed her on the back of her head.
Shi Sheng was stunned for a moment. When Feng Ci pried open her mouth, she regained her senses and seized control of the situation.
When Feng Ci's face turned red, she let go of him. "I'm fine. Stay in the car. I'll be back soon."
Feng Ci obviously didn't intend to listen. When she got out of the car, he immediately followed.
Shi Sheng stood opposite him and looked at him. Feng Ci immediately put on an innocent expression. He knew that she hated seeing him like this.
Shi Sheng shook his head and waved at him.
Feng Ci eagerly ran over and reached out to hold her hand. His fingertips slipped through the gaps between her fingers and their fingers intertwined.
The fire was still burning in the distance, and the army and medical teams were everywhere trying to evacuate the crowd.
Shi Sheng found Shi Fang's location. He led a small group of Zhan Long Guards and looked at the people who were escaping. However, he did not help. He was as cold as a robot.
"Patriarch."
"Who did it?"
Shi Fang kept a distance from Feng Ci. "I'm not sure. They're all dead. Not even their ashes are left. The center of the explosion was … at the Xia household. "
Shi Sheng narrowed his eyes and sneered. "Pirates, explosion …"
"Patriarch Shi." Shangguan Pu led the imperial family over from the side.
Shi Sheng looked at him coldly. "Third Prince, who dared to self-destruct right under your nose? Don't blow up the Capital Star."
Shangguan Pu broke out in cold sweat. She meant that it was the imperial family who did it, but the latter part was a blatant threat.
He quickly clarified. "Patriarch Shi, I can guarantee you with my status as the crown prince that it has nothing to do with the imperial family."
Shi Sheng sneered. "That better be the case."
Third Prince broke out in cold sweat. "Patriarch Shi, we will definitely investigate this matter."
"Let's go back."
Shi Fang was a little surprised. Just like that?
But Shi Sheng didn't seem to be easy to talk to, so he didn't dare to say anything. He led the Zhanlong Guards and followed Shi Sheng out of this chaotic place.
Shangguan Pu watched them leave. He wiped off his cold sweat and ordered the people behind him, "Control the situation. Don't let anyone stir up trouble."
Everyone: "…"
The Twelve Summit hadn't even ended yet, and such a thing had already happened. Luckily, the location of the explosion was at a sensitive place like Frost Moon Street.
Wasn't someone deliberately looking for trouble?
…
Shi Sheng returned to the hotel. Patriarch Yan, Jin Xi, and Ji Ye were waiting at the hotel entrance. They had obviously received the news.
Patriarch Yan stood up as a representative to stop her. "Patriarch Shi, we will also help investigate the explosion at Frost Moon Street."
"What are you trying to do?" Shi Sheng looked at them. How could this group of people be so kind?
Patriarch Yan's mouth twitched. "Patriarch Shi, we are one. We are bound together for good or ill. Patriarch Shi, you should understand this, right?"
"Don't. You guys are very skilled at backstabbing."
Patriarch Yan looked embarrassed. "Our families didn't participate in the incident back then …"
"Yes, you didn't help either." Shi Sheng's expression turned even colder. "Now you're telling me that we are bound together for good or ill? Don't you think it's funny? "
"Patriarch Shi, our families also suffered heavy losses back then. We can't even take care of ourselves. How could we have the time to save the Xia family and Xia Chu?" Jin Xi couldn't take it anymore.
Shi Sheng's sharp gaze swept over him. The aura Jin Xi had just gathered suddenly deflated like a deflated balloon under her gaze.
"Then let's go our separate ways." Shi Sheng pulled Feng Ci inside.
Shi Fang and the others followed behind her dutifully, quickly blocking Patriarch Yan's line of sight.
"Patriarch Shi …"
Ji Ye stopped Patriarch Yan. "Patriarch Yan, don't say anymore."
Patriarch Yan sighed. "The incident at Frost Moon Street is obviously provoking her. It's really going to be chaotic."
Jin Xi's expression was a little ugly. "If it weren't for her, Frost Moon Street would have been torn down long ago. Today's incident wouldn't have happened. Who knows how many people would have died …"
"Her purpose of keeping Frost Moon Street is not to commemorate the Xia family and Xia Chu." Ji Ye's voice seemed to be tinged with the vicissitudes of life. "She's reminding those people and us that there used to be a Xia family, one of the seven major families, not the six."
"How did Xia Chu and her meet?" Jin Xi scratched his head and said in annoyance, "Back then, she massacred the Capital Star for Xia Chu."
"I don't know. When I met Xia Chu, she was already Xia Chu's regular."
"You and Xia Chu … met at the Xia family's banquet to announce the successor, right?" Patriarch Yan frowned. "Xia Chu was still very young back then. How did she know Xia Chu so early?"
"Yes, I didn't expect it either. In public, she never interacted with Xia Chu at all. I only found out about it later. "
No one knew how Xia Chu and Shi Sheng met.
If it weren't for the massacre on the Capital Star, no one would have known that Xia Chu and Shi Sheng were so close.
