Mr. Shen's face was gloomy and uncertain, showing a thoughtful look.

Shen Momei, his daughter, had always been against him. This time she suddenly came home and insisted on taking Shen Muqing to a hot spring.

He didn't agree at first, but Shen Muqing forced him to relent on the grounds of rejecting the marriage. For fear of something happening, he sent a trusted bodyguard to spy on them.

Everything seemed normal. Ding Ning seemed to appear there by chance and had no communication with Shen Muqing, but he smelled an unusual smell.

What a coincidence. Yanjing is such a big place. Where could Ding Ning go? He just happened to show up at the hot spring club where Shen Muqing went.

If he were to say that there was nothing fishy about it, he would not believe it even to death.

But even if he becomes suspicious, he has nothing to do. He can't go find someone to warn Ding Ning and stop letting him pester Shen Muqing, right?

Not to mention Ding Ning's medical skills, just because he brought glory to the country at the medical summit, Mr. Shen knew very well that Ding Ning could no longer be regarded as a little doctor with some medical skills.

In fact, as Ding Ning's status continued to rise, he also began to waver in his decision. Is this marriage really the right one?

With Ding Ning's development momentum, if he really becomes the son-in-law of the Shen family, the benefits he can bring to the Shen family in the future may not be less than if he marries the Zhao family.

But when he thought that the Zhao family had become the head of the family, and gradually began to get involved in some important and sensitive industries related to the country, and had a faint tendency to become the fifth family, his heart became firm again.

Ding Ning's development trend is good, but even if he can gain a foothold in Yanjing, he can barely be regarded as a small family at most. It is not even a famous family. How can he get along with a century-old family with a profound foundation like the Zhao family? Compare?

What's more, although Zhao Zilong temporarily disappeared because he joined the army, he is a leader among men and will definitely be able to prosper in the military world.

By then, with Zhao Zilong's ability, the Zhao family will definitely have a large number of contacts in the military community, which will completely make up for the Zhao family's shortcomings.

As long as the Zhao family successfully gets involved in important industries related to the country, all the conditions for becoming a powerful family will really be met. How long will it take for the Shen family to marry the Zhao family before it has completely taken off?

As for Ding Ning, haha.

Mr. Shen smiled disdainfully. He did not deny that Ding Ning had unlimited development potential in the future, but it was just potential. How many years would it take for him to develop? Ten years, twenty years, thirty years or more?

After he has a place in Yanjing, I am afraid that the Zhao family has already developed into the number one family, and he will only be able to look up to Zhao Zilong forever, unable to compare with him.

So what if he can fight again? He is just a martial artist. In troubled times, he might be able to make a difference, but now it is still a peaceful era and a society ruled by law. Warriors are just watchdogs raised by rich and powerful families.

Mr. Shen quickly weighed the pros and cons, and once again made a cross for Ding Ning from his heart. As a qualified leader of a big family, he must consider the interests of the Shen family, and there is no point in sacrificing the happiness of a daughter of the Shen family. What can he do? In exchange for greater development space for the Shen family, he thought this was a very good deal.

What's more, he never thought that Mu Qing would be unhappy if she married Zhao Zilong, let alone that she had anything to feel wronged about.

You know, Zhao Zilong is the head of the Eight Young Masters of Yanjing. To outsiders, this title seems to be ranked by good people. Despite his status, Mr. Shen knows very well what this ranking means.

Ranking of the Eighth Young Masters of Yanjing, Ben

Being a member is a secret means of confrontation between major aristocratic families and famous families. Which family's children can be among them means that they will become the leaders of the family, and it also means the future development momentum of the family.

Zhao Zilong's ability to become the first of the Eight Young Masters of Yanjing is recognized by all the powerful people who secretly participated in the selection. His high gold content is obvious.

With such a Qilinzi as the leader of the Zhao family, the future development trend can already be imagined. It is only a matter of time before they reach the top and become a powerful family. By then, the Shen family will also rise with the tide, and it is not impossible to become a top family.

Therefore, from the perspective of an old feudal man like Mr. Shen who favors boys over girls, the fact that Shen Muqing can marry a Qilinzi like Zhao Zilong is not only not an injustice, but also an achievement.

Originally, the wedding date agreed upon by the two families was next year, but after seeing the rapid development of the Zhao family, he felt that the marriage should be carried out in advance. Even if the wedding was not held now, the matter should be settled first.

Otherwise, there will be long nights and many dreams. Who knows whether the Zhao family will become a powerful family next year. Now the two families are still well matched, but once the Zhao family becomes a powerful family, then the Shen family will be in a high position.

Even if there is a marriage contract, some people will still criticize him and think that the Shen family is trying to gain power and wealth. He really cannot afford to embarrass this person.

Therefore, after much thought, Mr. Shen felt that even if the wedding was not held now, the wedding should be finalized first.

Therefore, Mr. Shen went directly to Zhao Tianya and wanted to hold an engagement ceremony first, seal the marriage, and then hold the wedding directly when the engagement deadline comes next year.

Others may not know Shen Moru's true identity, but how could Zhao Tianya not know that? He is the most popular Yulin Guards general, the leader of a special organization directly under the command of the highest level. If he can marry the Shen family, he will naturally raise his name. He agreed with both hands, agreed immediately, and ordered Zhao Zilong to take leave immediately to come back to attend the engagement ceremony.

Zhao Zilong has always liked Shen Muqing, and he was ecstatic when he learned that he was going to get engaged first. Even though he knew that asking for leave while preparing for the International Special Forces Competition would have a very bad impact, he did not hesitate at all and immediately asked for leave and rushed back.

This is also the reason why the engagement, which was supposed to be fulfilled next year, suddenly happened in advance. Among them, Mr. Shen is the chief contributor.

"Go and check for me. Find out why Ding Ning appeared in the hot spring club?"

Mr. Shen's face was gloomy and he ordered directly.

"yes."

The head bodyguard didn't know why Mr. Shen was interested in the martial arts king Ding Ning, but he knew his domineering character and didn't dare to ask more questions. He bowed and agreed, and then went to find out the reason for Ding Ning's appearance in the hot spring club.

Mr. Shen's eyes were sharp and he sat quietly on the grand master's chair that represented the head of the family. He whispered to himself: "Ding Ning, Ding Ning, I hope you can stay calm and don't make any mistakes. Otherwise, even if you are National hero, I won’t let you walk around without food.”

"And Mo Mei, hum, I hope you don't let me find out what little tricks you have done, otherwise, don't blame me for not thinking about the love between father and daughter."

Remembering that Shen Muqing was coaxed to the hot spring club by Shen Momei this time, Mr. Shen realized that there must be something fishy in it, and Shen Momei was probably playing the role of matchmaker, which made him feel surprisingly angry.

His thoughts are very stubborn, and he stubbornly believes that Shen Momei is his daughter, and filial piety comes first. It is natural to sacrifice for the sake of the family. As for Shen Momei's unhappy life, he does not feel that it is his own fault, but that of this rebellious girl. My daughter doesn’t understand that marriage needs to be managed. As long as she serves her husband well and is a good wife and mother, she will

How could your husband go around messing around with women and sleeping in willows?

In the final analysis, she was not virtuous enough and was very resistant to this marriage in her bones, so she willfully messed up the relationship between husband and wife, making him, the father-in-law, very passive.

Contrary to expectations, Shen Momei's sacrifice did not play the role that the marriage should have at all. Instead, it caused the two families to be at odds with each other. The in-law relationship existed in name only, and the Shen family did not gain due benefits from this marriage at all.

He has been used to giving orders for a long time and cannot tolerate anyone's disobedience, but he has nothing to do with this daughter. Therefore, Mr. Shen is very dissatisfied and even a little disgusted with this rebellious daughter.

The long-term accumulation of dissatisfaction made Mr. Shen determined. This time, if it was found out that Shen Momei was really involved in trying to destroy the marriage between the Shen family and the Zhao family, he would never let go of this troubled daughter. Break his legs, resign from public office, imprison him, and cut off all contact with the outside world. Anyway, the Shen family can afford to support a useless person.

The strength of the Shen family is not weak, and the investigation speed is very fast. In less than an hour, Mr. Shen got a report from his subordinates. There was no record of Ding Ning taking a bath in the hot spring club.

In other words, Ding Ning's appearance at the hot spring club was not accidental, but had a purpose. What the purpose was was naturally self-evident.

Mr. Shen's face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face. He stared at the bodyguard dice with sharp eyes and asked, "Are you sure that no one went in when Mu Qing took a bath in the hot spring?"

The head bodyguard was shocked. Although he didn't know why Mr. Shen asked this, he knew that if he gave a bad answer, he would be severely punished.

He did not answer immediately, but after recalling it carefully, he nodded affirmatively and said: "The eight of us were standing outside the lady's VIP room. We never left a step from the beginning to the end, and no one went in during this period. Everyone can guarantee this, but..."

"But what?"

Mr. Shen immediately asked.

"Miss Mei's VIP room was booked by Miss Mei. It is also a hot spring club. We were inconvenienced, so we did not check in advance. If someone had hidden in the room beforehand and came out after we left, we would not know about it."

The head of the bodyguard said with a gloomy expression. It was not that he was derelict in his duty, but that he knew Mr. Shen's personality well. If he deliberately concealed it, he would definitely punish him severely if he found out. It would be better to tell him in advance.

Hearing this, Mr. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, because according to the information reported by the bodyguard, it was only when Shen Muqing came out of the hot spring that he discovered that Ding Ning had a conflict with someone in the lobby, and no one entered the VIP room during this period. This means that the possibility of him hiding in a private room in advance to have a private meeting with Shen Muqing is basically non-existent.

"Okay, you go down."

Mr. Shen sent away the bodyguards and sat on the Grand Master's chair, frowning and wondering: "Since there is no possibility of them meeting for a private meeting, is it really just a coincidence that Ding Ning appears there?"

"No, no matter if it's a coincidence or not, I have to nip it in the bud and never let anything go wrong at the engagement party."

Mr. Shen is also a decisive person. Although he is not sure whether all this is a coincidence or there is a mystery that he cannot see through, he will never let any surprises occur at the engagement banquet.

Thinking of the information investigated by his men, Mr. Shen showed a sly smile, immediately dialed a number, and said in a deep voice: "Weidong, I accidentally received a message today, what is the name of your second son?
