When Shen Hui was eager for Shen Li'an to come, he couldn't arrive no matter how much he called.

But when Shen Hui didn't want Shen Li'an to come, Shen Li'an immediately rushed over.

It was just that coincidental!

Of course, "rushed over" is just a figure of speech. Shen Li'an didn't come on horseback; he came in a private plane.

Time was of the essence. Shen Li'an didn't have time to gather people. The only one who came with him was his personal secretary.

The two barged into Shen Hui's office. One was wearing a gray jacket, slightly bowing, with narrow eyes—it was Shen Li'an's secretary.

The other was wearing black-framed glasses, with silver hair—this was Shen Li'an himself.

When he saw his nephew's fingers scattered on the ground, his pupils visibly contracted, but then he quickly recovered.

Although Shen Li'an's heart was already in turmoil because of his nephew's matter,

his face remained calm and composed, showing no abnormalities. He carried an imposing air of authority without being angry.

"Second Uncle..."

When Shen Hui saw Shen Li'an, he called out weakly, his eyes filled with despair and a complex expression.

He had originally hoped that his second uncle would come sooner, but his second uncle came when he shouldn't have.

And the main point was that his second uncle didn't bring any helpers with him. What use was just a secretary?

Shen Hui's eyes were full of despair. He didn't struggle anymore. Whatever, kill or slice, just give him a quick death!

"Shen Dali!" (Dali is an official title)

Mayor Mo saw Shen Li'an and immediately greeted him, looking ashamed. "I'm sorry, Shen Dali, I've already done my best."

Shen Li'an glanced at the heavily injured yamen runners and quickly made a decision.

He waved his hand, signaling Mayor Mo not to say more, and said faintly, "You guys go out first."

Mayor Mo knew that staying here wouldn't help, so he nodded and reminded him before leaving, "Shen Dali, please be careful."

Shen Dali smiled faintly, noncommittally.

Everyone went out, including Shen Dali's secretary. In the large office, only Chen Xiao and the other three remained.

Facing a regional official, Wu Fei'er didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Even though the other party only glanced at her when he came in, the immense pressure never dissipated.

"I heard you want to confront me?"

Shen Dali's eyes fell on Chen Xiao, and he asked casually.

Chen Xiao nodded. "That's right. I only have one question for you."

"Let's not play those pretentious games."

Shen Dali waved his hand. "Just tell me directly, who sent you? What is your purpose? What are your conditions?"

Shen Dali's knowing appearance confused Chen Xiao.

"No one sent me, and I have no conditions."

Chen Xiao told the truth.

"No one sent you? And you have no conditions?"

Shen Dali sneered. "Do you think I'll believe that? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?

If no one is instructing you from behind, would you dare to be so ruthless to my family?

Hurry up, let's not waste time with nonsense. I won't ask who's instructing you. Just tell me your conditions. What do you want? Or what do you want me to do to let Hui'er go?"

Shen Dali asked in a deep voice, confident as if his words were the truth.

Chen Xiao sighed helplessly. He understood that Shen Dali was treating him as a dead soldier or something, and a dead soldier of his political enemies.

"Shen Li'an, I'm not the kind of person you think I am. I called you here just to ask you one thing."

Chen Xiao said calmly.

Shen Dali frowned slightly. Still pretending, huh?

"Alright, since you're so insistent on this question, then ask."

Shen Dali still looked like he had everything under control.

"I ask you, were you aware of what Shen Hui was doing?"

The question Chen Xiao wanted to ask was simple, just this one.

"Which one are you referring to?"

Shen Dali asked, "What do you know?"

"Forcing and enticing, raping women!"

Chen Xiao said in a deep voice. This was just the crimes he knew Shen Hui had committed, and judging from Shen Dali's appearance, Shen Hui must have done other illegal and criminal things.

"Just this?"

Shen Dali was slightly stunned when he heard Chen Xiao's question.

"I'm asking you, were you aware!"

Chen Xiao stared into Shen Dali's eyes and asked coldly.

"What if I knew, and what if I didn't?"

Shen Dali took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and took one out.

He lit it, took a puff, and said contemptuously, "You don't think you can bring down a regional official with this kind of thing, do you? Who exactly is behind you? How could they come up with such a stupid idea?"

Until now, Shen Dali still thought the whole thing was just an attack from his political enemies.

"I'm asking you, were you aware!"

Chen Xiao's patience was running out. He still wanted to go home and eat dumplings and didn't want to waste his time on this trivial matter.

"I was aware."

Shen Dali nodded and said lightly, "Shen Hui is my nephew. Of course, I know what he's doing, but if you think you can bring me down with this little thing, then you're very wrong.

You're still young. You don't seem to know what the officialdom is at all!"

Shen Dali exhaled a smoke ring. Behind the swirling smoke, the contempt in his eyes grew stronger.

"Very good. That's what I wanted to hear."

Chen Xiao sneered, "Shen Li'an, you know the evil deeds your nephew has committed, and not only did you turn a blind eye, but you also let him come to Jiangcheng Hospital to harm more people. Let me tell you, Jiangcheng Hospital is a place to save lives, not a place to harbor filth.

Your actions don't deserve to be human, let alone a provincial governor!"

Hearing this, Shen Dali laughed loudly. "Hahahaha, young man, are you crazy? Or is your brain not fully developed? Whether I deserve to be a provincial governor, when is it your place, a nobody, to judge?"

"You said you only had one question to ask me. The question is over, and I've also cooperated with answering your question, so now, this farce should be over, right?"

"Release my nephew quickly. Don't resist meaninglessly. I'll let you die a little easier!"

Shen Dali's eyes gradually darkened. He still hadn't figured out what this young man was after.

He didn't mention any conditions. Then what was the point of kidnapping? What was he plotting? What benefits would it bring him?

"Heh, when did I say I was going to let him go?"

Chen Xiao retorted with a sneer.

"What else do you want to do?"

Shen Li'an frowned even more, his eyes filled with some doubt.

"I want to act on behalf of Heaven!"

Chen Xiao slapped down, and Shen Hui was liberated, dying silently without any pain.
