Chapter 187 Happy wedding and grow old together
Dozens of speedboats were searching the sea with their lights on, but after more than an hour of trying, they still found nothing.
The wreckage of the speedboat after the explosion was collected and sent to the cruise ship.
But such a big movement could not be hidden from so many people on the ship.
Looking at the speedboats that were being salvaged across the sea, Ji Zhuo's expression became much more solemn.
"I called A-Xuan several times and she didn't answer the phone. Could it be that something happened to the two of them? Could it be that they were the ones who were salvaging the explosion just now?"
Buchan slowly put the meat on the baking sheet.
The three of them are currently having a barbecue in Buchan's suite. The table has been moved to the balcony, where they can barbecue with the sea breeze blowing in the evening, which has a unique charm.
"No, we have to get out." Liz said anxiously.
If something really happened to Cen Xuan and Shen Jiyuan, would they just watch like this?
"What can we do?" Bu Chan looked at the anxious two people, "Are we the Shen family? Are we the Cen family? None of the bodyguards or mercenaries on this ship will listen to us? What if we come out now? Nothing can be done.”
Upon hearing Bu Chan's words, Ji Yan and Liz instantly withered like eggplants beaten by frost.
This is true. Their presence on this ship is not high.
"Shen Jiyuan is the head of the Shen family. If something happens to him and his wife, it won't be a trivial matter. According to normal operations, the Shen family needs to block the news and return with all the guests immediately. Even if something happens to the two of them, this The news had to be kept secret for a month.”
Bu Chan spoke slowly.
Ji Yan couldn't refute, it was really like this.
The wealth and lives of these people are tied to the glory of the family. The bigger the family's property is, the less personal feelings can be involved when handling it.
Otherwise, once it collapses, countless people will be affected, not just the Shen family.
"If my guess is correct, the person giving orders now is Shen Zhengnan. You two should know no less about what he is thinking than I do."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yan and Liz stood up at the same time.
"Isn't that doomed? Shen Zhengnan hopes that something will happen to them."
The meat on the grill pan is heated and refined to produce oil, which is now sizzling under the influence of temperature.
Buchan put it on a plate, sprinkled it with barbecue ingredients, and put it in his mouth.
This calm and gentle look really resembles the audience who are staying away from the incident.
"Don't we want to think of a solution?" Ji Yan looked at her and reminded.
This is too calm.
Bu Chan glanced at the two of them and said, "If you two don't help or cause trouble, this is the best way to help."
Before Ji Zhuo could refute, Bu Chan continued to speak.
"Do you think Shen Jiyuan's position was really donated by Mr. Shen? Don't you have the skills to sit on it? If he can't avoid such a scheme, he is not worthy of being Ah Xuan's husband."
What he said was quite satisfactory to these two people.
Ji Yan and Liz nodded.
Forget it Ji Yan, she knows how powerful Shen Jiyuan is. This man can be frightened in Jianghuai, and he is not a freeloader.
Liz was different. She spent the most time with Cen Xuan. In her eyes, Cen Xuan would not choose a good-for-nothing husband for herself.
"Besides, don't forget, there are Song Heng and Gu Congzhi on this boat. If these two people get serious, can Shen Zhengnan be able to handle them?"
There is no need to say more about the relationship between Shen Jiyuan and these two people.
They are known as the Iron Triangle.
It was impossible for these two people to watch something happen to Shen Jiyuan.
If trouble really breaks out, Song Heng and Gu Congzhi have more solutions than they do.
"Then what are we going to do next?" Liz looked at Buchan.
You can't just do nothing when co-authoring.
"Finish this plate of meat and wait for dawn."
Buchan pointed to the cooked meat on the baking sheet.
Ji Yan and Liz looked at her calm look and obediently picked up the chopsticks.
Okay, eat it when it comes.
At the same time, in the suite on the seventeenth floor.
Old Mrs. Shen sat on the sofa and glanced coldly at her two sons and two grandsons standing in front of her.
"Grandma, not only can't we hide the return from the guests now, but it can also easily lead to unnecessary speculation." Shen Zhiyue stood beside Mrs. Shen and said.
Shen Zhengnan never changed his expression even when facing the old lady.
Shen Zhiyue knew clearly in her heart that if this matter was really done by her uncle.
They all returned, and Shen Jiyuan and Cen Xuancai were really completely dead.
When the time comes, only Shen Zhengnan will be left in the vast sea, and those two people will become corpses even if they are alive.
"Have you found the person who did it?"
The old lady looked at Shen Zhengnan.
"Still checking, but there are some clues."
The old lady lowered her eyes and thought, if a person fell into the water alive, it would be impossible for him to disappear in such a short period of time.
There is only one possibility now, that is, the person has been blown to pieces.
"Let's return to the ship. Arrange more manpower to search. We will see people alive and dead or corpses. Think of a good reason to appease the guests and don't cause unnecessary trouble."
Shen Zhengnan nodded in agreement.
Shen Zhiyue's eyes widened, "Grandma?"
Shen Muze looked at her and responded, "Yueyue, grandma is in charge here, so don't cause any trouble."
They almost killed the old lady.
Even if the old man were still alive, he still had to take the overall situation into consideration.
Seeing everyone go out, Shen Zhiyue looked at the old lady.
"Grandma, how can you agree to return?"
The old lady poured herself a cup of tea, "Didn't you always dislike Jiyuan before? Why are you so worried now?"
Shen Zhiyue sat down next to the old lady, "We are all one family. No matter how much I dislike him, isn't he still my brother and the third uncle's child?"
If she really hated Shen Jiyuan so much, she would not have agreed to the old lady to go to Luoxia Bay to save people.
They are a family after all, and Shen Zhiyue can understand Shen Jiyuan to some extent.
He has experienced so many things in his life. If such a person was not cruel, he would not be alive today.
Since we want to survive under the same roof, we can't always plot against each other.
"You think I'm stupid and can't see what's going on?"
The old lady looked at her granddaughter and chuckled.
Without even delving into the matter from beginning to end, Mrs. Shen could guess what was going on.
Not to mention the people behind the scenes, there are not many people who dare to do anything on the Shen family's premises, not to mention the entire Jianghuai, and the entire K country.
Not to mention that this ship contains many powerful families from across the continent.
If any accident affects these people, it will not just be as simple as offending the Shen family.
So Mrs. Shen knew in her heart that Shen Zhengnan was the only one who would do this at this time.
"Then why are you still helping uncle?"
Just returning home, not everything is over.
Shen Zhiyue thought of when Shen Jiyuan first returned to Shen's house and looked at the old lady with some suspicion.
"You're not still thinking about seeing what Third Brother is capable of, are you?"
Shen Zhiyue felt speechless. With Shen Jiyuan's ability, why should he try again now?
The old lady smiled and shook her head, "I know what Ji Yuan is capable of. If you can't dodge such a small trick, your grandfather will not be able to hand over the company to him. What I want to see is another person."
After listening to the old lady's words, Shen Zhiyue understood.
"You will never give up until you reach the Yellow River. Some things are impossible only if you try them yourself."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyue understood.
A business empire as huge as the Shen family cannot always rely on one person to thrive. Only family management is the way to pass it on.
If the internal fighting continues like this, it will do no good to the Shen family.
"Grandma."
Shen Zhiyue sat next to the old lady, looking at her almost white hair, feeling very uncomfortable.
"It's okay. I've lived to this age and haven't seen anything."
The old lady reached out and touched her granddaughter's face, her brows still filled with comfort.
In the past, the old lady liked to dye her hair very much. She liked to look young and energetic.
But since Mr. Shen passed away, the old lady no longer dyes her hair. Her hair is now almost completely white, and she looks much older than before.
The cruise ship returned at the same speed as it arrived, and the reason given to the guests was also based on the notice from the Meteorological Bureau.
There will be a storm on the sea before dawn. The wind and waves will be too strong and the safety factor will be low, so we will return early.
Everyone on the boat knew exactly what it was for, and no one raised any objections.
In the suite at the end of the sixteenth floor, Shen Zhengnan looked at the person sitting opposite him.
"Thanks to Mr. Deng for this incident, Shen Bank will give you a loan after you return, which is more than enough to solve your debt problem."
When Deng Ming heard this, he stood up happily and quickly thanked him.
"Mr. Deng, stay here for now. Someone will come to pick you up when you are thirty nautical miles from the shore."
After Shen Zhengnan left the room, Deng Ming almost jumped up with joy.
Shen Muze followed Shen Zhengnan. Watching his father walking faster and faster, he spoke to remind him.
"Dad, are you really going to let him go?"
If he is let go, what will be used to justify the deaths of Shen Jiyuan and Cen Xuan in the future? They will always carry this suspicion.
"Let him go? He just needs to get out of this boat and be caught by Li He's people. As for his grudges with Shen Jiyuan, we don't need to say more, they can find out by themselves."
Of course Shen Muze understood what his father meant.
"That sea area has been searched almost all over. The people were probably blown into pieces and fed to the fish."
Their people confirmed that Shen Jiyuan and Cen Xuan were both on board.
This bomb was also planted by Deng Ming. No matter how much I checked, I couldn't find it on them.
After driving all night, the cruise ship finally stopped at the deep-water pier closest to the island when the clouds broke at dawn.
The guests on the ship woke up from their sleep one after another. Some people have a dreamless night, while others have sweet dreams.
After returning to the villa where the Shen family lived, Shen Zhiyue accompanied Mrs. Shen and sat down on the sofa.
The people responsible for taking care of this place are all servants brought from Shen's house, and they have also been with the old lady for many years.
Shen Zhengnan and his son followed him through the door and stood in front of the old lady, their expressions indifferent and dignified.
"Have the guests been arranged?"
Shen Zhengnan nodded, "Don't worry."
"So, can Ji Yuan and his wife be found?" The old lady raised her eyes and looked at Shen Zhengnan.
Shen Muche's face was solemn, "Grandma, hundreds of boats have been sent out, and the coast guard and public security have been there in large numbers, but they haven't been able to find anyone so far. It's probably more serious than hope."
Mrs. Shen took the teacup handed over by the servant and slowly skimmed off the foam with the lid.
"After a whole night, you should have caught the murderer."
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, the bodyguard outside the door threw the tied-up Deng Ming in.
"He did it. He has something to do with Cen Xuan." Shen Zhengnan said without changing his expression.
Deng Ming was completely confused when he was suddenly tied to such a place.
He had already sailed some distance by boat when he was intercepted by someone who suddenly appeared.
It wasn't until he was brought here that Deng Ming finally understood.
I was being used.
The person who brought him here threatened him very seriously.
Ask him to shut up and stop saying things he shouldn't say, otherwise, he will not be the only one to die.
"Some time ago, he asked Ji Yuan for help but was rejected." Shen Zhengnan said and added, "His wife has something to do with Cen Xuan."
If it weren't for this relationship, this person wouldn't be so useful.
"No." Just as Deng Ming was about to retort, someone on the side pushed him to the ground.
"All the surveillance cameras can clearly see that he was the one who tampered with the ship. He got the invitation letter with Cen Xuan's connections and got involved. His idea was very simple. If Cen Xuan died, his wife would inherit the inheritance. All property of Cen Xuan ”
The old lady looked at him suspiciously after hearing this.
"Inheritance?"
Shen Muze whispered to the old lady, "Grandma, I'll tell you what's going on later."
"The search and rescue work is still going on, but do we need to send all the guests back next?" Shen Zhengnan looked at the old lady and asked.
There is also a bonfire party in the evening. If the protagonist does not appear, it will be difficult to reconcile the panic.
"Grandma, no matter what, we have to accept the reality. We can't hide it anymore. It's better to make it clear to the guests early. We are all a family. We have to take care of the aftermath, right?"
Shen Muze stood in front of the old lady and said.
Although this sounds unpleasant, it is also true.
There was a sudden commotion outside the door. Shen Zhiyue looked up irritably and saw two people entering the door hand in hand.
She was stunned for a moment, then spoke to remind.
"I can't see it anymore. Isn't the person back?"
Shen Zhengnan and his son looked up, as if struck by lightning.
Even Deng Ming, who was on the ground, stepped back with wide eyes.
Shen Jiyuan and Cen Xuan arrived in front of the old lady.
"We came back early, isn't grandma angry?"
Cen Xuan smiled and talked to the old lady, as if she had no idea what they just said.
The old lady didn't have any surprises.
"You two are not on the cruise ship, and you leave the guests behind. This is not the style of the host."
Shen Jiyuan lowered his head, politely admitting his mistake.
"I didn't think well."
Cen Xuan stopped him and said to the old lady with a smile, "Grandma, if you want to blame, blame me. It was me who wanted to see the corals, and it was because I was not feeling well that he accompanied me on the boat to return home in advance."
As long as the person comes back safely, the old lady doesn't care much about this.
Shen Zhengnan looked a little pale and just looked at Shen Jiyuan.
"Both of you, you had to tell us when you were leaving. You disappeared without any reason, which made us so worried."
Shen Zhiyue looked at her uncle whose expression suddenly changed. She couldn't bear to see the scene, so she silently turned around and slipped away.
"Mr. Deng showed up here because he was too worried about us?"
Cen Xuan said and moved closer to Deng Ming, looking at his shackles with a smile.
Deng Ming was obviously afraid to look directly into Cen Xuan's eyes and kept avoiding her sight.
"Now that we've reached this point, there's no need to hide it. We're all one family, what do you think?"
Cen Xuan stood up straight and looked at Shen Zhengnan and his son with a bit of coldness in his eyes.
From the moment the two of them appeared, Shen Zhengnan knew that he had completely lost.
Shen Jiyuan is truly worthy of being Shen Zhengchuan's son.
Back then, Shen Zhengchuan was also extremely smart, had a high-spirited temper, and was not afraid of anything.
"Let's talk."
Shen Jiyuan just looked at Shen Zhengnan and said something.
The old lady knew this and knew how to let them handle it themselves.
If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price.
Li He brought Deng Ming to the villa next door, which was the wedding room of Cen Xuan and Shen Jiyuan.
Deng Ming was suppressed and knew that he was in the wrong in this matter.
"Do you want me to let you go?" Cen Xuan just looked at him and said.
Deng Ming knew that there was no way out, so he looked at Cen Xuan with a colder look.
"You had no intention of helping me from the beginning. You hated your mother for being with me and abandoning your father. Your last request was just to drive a wedge between us."
Cen Xuan nodded without hesitation, "Smart, I really don't intend to help you."
Deng Ming had an air of confidence.
"Since you have humiliated me so much, don't blame me for attacking you."
"So, of course you have to pay the price."
Cen Xuan looked at him and still didn't understand what was so good about Deng Ming.
Maybe beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
"You are not dead, and neither is Shen Jiyuan. Even if you deal with me, why do you deal with me?"
Deng Ming was confident.
If Cen Xuan and Shen Jiyuan died and Shen Zhengnan wanted to blame him for this matter, then he couldn't escape it.
But thank God, these two people are still alive, so nothing can happen to him.
At best it was an attempted murder.
For the sake of reputation, the Shen family could not publicize this matter in a big way, so they could only keep it quiet.
Cen Xuan looked at him and let out a long breath.
"If you act like this, I won't feel any guilt. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
Deng Ming looked at her suspiciously.
"Are you serious?"
Cen Xuan nodded.
The bodyguard behind the door came over, stretched out his hand, lifted him up and dragged him out without ceremony.
Seeing Deng Ming being dragged out, Cen Xuan raised her eyes and looked at the sea.
She would not take action against Deng Ming.
But she won't stop Shen Jiyuan.
The cell phone in her hand rang as expected, and Cen Xuan looked at the long series of numbers without making any move.
Finally, I got through the call just before the ringing stopped.
The people over there didn't speak.
Cen Xuan spoke in a cold tone.
"He has left and will return to country L in the afternoon."
The people over there seemed relieved.
Thank you very seriously.
"Thank you, A-Xuan."
Cen Xuan didn't hang up the phone, and neither did the people over there.
Finally, Baihua, who had been silent for a while, spoke.
"Thank you for being willing to help me so that he doesn't have to do something stupid."
Bai Hua contacted Cen Xuan before she got married and told her Shen Zhengnan's plan.
Obviously Bai Hua is smarter than Shen Zhengnan and Deng Ming, and knows that these two people are not easy to mess with.
It is also a losing bet.
"This is the path you chose, just don't regret it in the future."
After Cen Xuan said this, a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips.
She was wrong.
How could Baihua regret it?
She won't, never will.
The person over there paused for a long time, and finally just spoke.
"Happy wedding, I wish you a long life together."
Cen Xuan did not respond and hung up the phone.
She leaned back on the rocking chair and closed her eyes lazily.
The finale will be tomorrow, everyone is looking forward to it
