"Dad."
Shen Muqing cried out in grievance. A hint of gentleness flashed across Shen Moru's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. He continued to stare at Ding Ning like lightning.
Ding Ning met his gaze without fear, calm and fearless. Although he had always been afraid of creatures like his father-in-law, the premise was that this creature was worthy of his respect.
In his view, the Shen family did not hesitate to sacrifice Shen Muqing's lifelong happiness and the Zhao family's marriage for the family's interests. Old Shen was so embarrassed that he actually shot and killed Shen Muqing.
Such a family was not worth it. Even if Shen Muqing's father was not present at that time, in his heart, he had already classified him and old Shen as the same kind of people.
"Moru, why are you only here now?"
Shen Guowei saw that Shen Moru had arrived and instantly felt confident. He said in a loud voice.
"I have official business."
Shen Moru frowned and replied in a low voice.
Shen Guowei faintly sensed that his son's attitude towards him seemed to have changed slightly. He was very unhappy and snorted coldly. "Your daughter's engagement, what urgent official business can't be postponed?"
"I just wanted to ask you, why did I only receive the notice last night about such a big matter as Muqing's engagement?"
Shen Moru no longer stared at Ding Ning. He turned to look at Shen Guowei and asked expressionlessly.
Shen Guowei's old face was a little embarrassed. He only informed Shen Moru last night on purpose. Who asked this most promising son to always oppose the marriage between the Shen family and the Zhao family?
But when he thought of how Shen Moru dared to question him, his father, under the watchful eyes of the public, his donkey's temper flared up again. He slammed the table and roared, "I am your father. I am still in charge of this family. Is this the attitude a son should have when speaking to his father?"
A look of pain flashed across Shen Moru's eyes. Under everyone's dumbfounded gaze, he stretched out his hand and flashed an arrest warrant. With a resolute expression, he said, "Now, I am speaking to you as a law enforcement officer. Shen Guowei, you have injured someone in public with a gun and caused an extremely bad influence. I have received orders from my superiors to arrest you and bring you to justice for further investigation. Men, take him away."
"Yes."
Two sturdy men appeared like ghosts behind Shen Moru and put handcuffs on Shen Guowei expressionlessly. "Sir, please."
Shen Guowei's old face flushed red and he scolded furiously, "Shen Moru, you treacherous evil creature. I have bled for the country and made contributions for the country. What right do you have to arrest me?"
Everyone was stunned by this scene. The son was putting righteousness before family and personally capturing his father. What kind of drama was this? Why can't I understand it?
Zhao Tianya and his son were even more dumbfounded. They didn't know what Shen Moru was doing. Even Ding Ning was dumbfounded and felt that he couldn't understand his future father-in-law.
Shen Moru sighed and looked deeply at Shen Guowei, who was cursing loudly. He said helplessly, "Father, you're not the only one who has shed blood and performed meritorious deeds for the country. The country has its laws and the family has its rules. You've injured someone in public with a gun and the impact you've caused is too bad. You've seriously violated the bottom line that the higher-ups can tolerate. Go with them and reflect on your own actions." Shen Moru sighed and looked deeply at Shen Guowei, who was cursing loudly. He said helplessly, "Father, you're not the only one who has shed blood and performed meritorious deeds for the country.
Shen Guowei's scolding stopped abruptly. As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. Shen Moru was an extremely affectionate and righteous person and had always been filial to his unreasonable father.
But now, he did something like putting righteousness before family in public. It would be strange to say that there was no trick behind this matter.
It was true that shooting someone with a gun had a bad impact, but it did not cause too serious consequences. It should not be the main reason for arresting him in public.
So …
What on earth touched the bottom line that could be tolerated by the superiors? After all, being old and shrewd, Shen Guowei immediately understood after thinking for a while.
He glanced at Ding Ning, who was still confused and didn't understand the situation, and instantly felt endless regret. He was spoiled and arrogant and acted recklessly. He had lost the political acumen that he should have. After all, he still underestimated the weight of this little miracle-working doctor in the eyes of the superiors.
Thinking of this, Shen Guowei seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant. His straight back also stooped, and he said bitterly, "I accept the investigation from the superiors. Let's go."
"Dad, you … take care."
Looking at his father's old appearance, Shen Moru almost burst into tears. He wanted to say something, but finally, he could only choke out the words "take care".
"Dad, don't arrest Grandpa, OK? He is old. How can he bear such a crime?"
Shen Muqing suddenly begged aloud.
Shen Guowei trembled all over, and the regret in his heart grew stronger. He stopped and slowly turned around. For the first time in his life, a kind smile appeared on his face. "Muqing, you are a good child. It's Grandpa's fault. If I do something wrong, I should be punished. This is what I deserve."
Shen Muqing bit her lower lip with her white teeth and grasped Ding Ning's hand tightly. Her eyes were blurred by tears unconsciously.
She also hated Shen Guowei. She hated his overbearingness, ruthlessness, and indifference …
But no matter what, he was her grandfather. He could be indifferent and ruthless, but she, who was kind by nature, could not bear to see her grandfather go to prison and suffer at such an old age. She looked at Ding Ning blankly as if asking for help and pleaded, "Ding Ning, help Grandpa, okay?"
"Okay."
Ding Ning could not bear to refuse Shen Muqing's request. Even if he did not like Shen Guowei, he did not want to see Shen Muqing sad, so he agreed without hesitation.
A strange look flashed across Shen Moru's eyes. He did not expect Ding Ning to be so magnanimous. If it was him who was shot a few times, he would not let it go so easily.
"Muqing, I appreciate your kindness. The country has its laws. No one can be above the law. Grandpa is proud of his achievements and despises the law. He should be punished."
Shen Guowei took a deep look at Ding Ning. He did not speak to him, but nodded slightly at him. He turned around and resolutely said to the two sturdy men, "Let's go."
The two sturdy men subconsciously glanced at Shen Moru. Seeing that he was expressionless and did not say anything, they immediately escorted Shen Guowei out.
"Wait, if the people don't sue, the officials won't investigate. As the person involved, I won't investigate. Let's just forget about this matter."
Ding Ning raised his voice and said. Although Shen Guowei's performance was very abominable before, he was Shen Muqing's grandfather after all. He also promised Shen Muqing to help him, so he naturally had to plead for him.
"Wounding people with a gun in public has caused an extremely bad influence. It has become a public prosecution case. Even if you don't investigate, he will be investigated for criminal responsibility."
Shen Moru sighed and changed his tone, "Of course, if you are willing to give up the right to investigate, I will give him a lighter sentence."
"This …"
Ding Ning looked at Shen Muqing apologetically. It was not that he was unwilling to help, but that the public prosecution case was beyond his control. What he could do was not investigate this matter and reduce Shen Guowei's crime.
"I'm sorry. Grandpa shot and wounded you. I still need you to plead for him."
Shen Muqing then remembered that the real victim was Ding Ning. He took the bullet for her, but she still asked him to help her grandfather. It was too selfish. She apologized with guilt.
"It doesn't matter. I have a thick skin. It's just a superficial wound.
As long as you are fine. "
Ding Ning said indifferently. In fact, in order not to shock the world and to repay the Shen Family's upbringing for Shen Muqing, so that she could leave with him with a clear conscience, he tried his best to play the trick of injuring himself. He deliberately used his Spiritual Power to burst the muscles on his back, so that the bullet could be embedded in his skin and create the illusion that he was shot. Otherwise, how could such an ordinary bullet break through his physical defense?
However, he did not expect that Shen Moru would suddenly appear and put on a show of righteousness before family, causing his wishful thinking to fall through. This made him feel very displeased.
Damn it, this future father-in-law was not easy to get along with. If he was as cold and heartless as Shen Guowei, he would be able to confidently embrace the beauty. However, he did not play his cards according to common sense, which made him have a bad premonition that things were out of his control.
"Uncle Shen, today is my engagement with Muqing …"
Seeing that Shen Muqing had been holding hands with Ding Ning, Zhao Zilong was so jealous that he couldn't help but approach Shen Moru and say.
"What engagement? I don't know. "
Shen Moru interrupted him impatiently before he finished speaking, which made Zhao Zilong's face turn blue and red.
A cold light flashed across Zhao Tianya's eyes, and he said in an unhappy tone, "Brother Mo Ru, this is the engagement between Old Master Shen and Old Master Shen. Now the invitations have been sent, and the guests have come. Now you deny it. Aren't you fooling our Zhao Family?"
"Master Zhao, what era is it now? Why do you still play the old trick? Not to mention that I really don't know what the engagement is, even if I know, I will never agree. You said that it was my father who made the engagement, so you can go to my father. "
Shen Moru's neither soft nor hard words made Zhao Tianya's face turn livid. "Master Shen has been arrested. Where can I find him?"
"Uncle Shen, are you going to repudiate the debt blatantly?"
Zhao Zilong's face was as gloomy as water, and he gnashed his teeth and said.
Hearing this, Shen Moru's face suddenly darkened, and he stared at him sharply and said, "Repudiate the debt? Who do you think you are? You don't deserve to talk to me, Shen Moru. "
"You …"
Zhao Zilong's face turned red, and he clenched his fists angrily. He wanted to punch Shen Moru in the face, but he didn't dare. He really didn't dare.
Ordinary people didn't know Shen Moru's identity, but as a member of the Zhao Family, how could he not know Shen Moru's real identity?
He was the chief guard of the Yulin Guard, which was not under the jurisdiction of the military and directly reported to the highest leader. If he dared to take action, a large number of Yulin Guard would appear in minutes. They would arrest him and put him in prison on the charge of intending to assassinate a national politician.
"Uncle Shen has been here for a long time, but this is the most honest sentence. Some people just don't know their identity. They really think that they are the first young master of Andu just because they have the bullshit title of the first young master of Andu."
Ding Ning put his arm around Shen Muqing's slender waist and added insult to injury. He had never been a magnanimous person. The Zhao Family was the biggest behind-the-scenes manipulator who framed his father, and he had no good impression of the Zhao Family.
Zhao Zilong was so angry that he trembled all over, and his eyes were full of resentment. He opened his mouth to retort, but he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes, and fainted because of anger.
"Zilong …"
Zhao Tianya exclaimed and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Zhao Zilong, who had fainted on the ground. His face was as pale as if he had eaten shit.
Zhao Tianya asked someone to pick up the unconscious Zhao Zilong and send him to the hospital. Zhao Tianya glanced coldly at Shen Moru and Ding Ning. Without saying anything, he snorted coldly and left.
