Clang...

The main door was almost forced open.

The loud noise startled Mei Yuyin, who was upstairs preparing to rest. She was a renowned opera singer, always paying great attention to health maintenance and voice protection.

Every evening, she drank a glass of honey water, and by eight or nine, she would be in bed early.

Mei Yuyin threw a black blanket over her pajamas and ran downstairs, asking urgently, "What happened? Why such a loud noise?"

Sheng Xinhua saw his mother's condition and quickly went over to comfort her, saying, "Mom, it's nothing... Just go upstairs and sleep."

For as long as she could remember, Mei Yuyin was always an extremely dignified person, barring the exceptions when she urged marriage or pressured her to quit drinking.

She did not want her mother to be seen in this state.

Sheng Jing also urged, "Yuyin, go upstairs and rest. It's nothing."

Sheng Jing was an upright and straightforward person, yet he loved his wife dearly.

He was a few years older than Mei Yuyin and had always treated her like a little sister, taking care of her.

Mei Yuyin, from a wealthy family since childhood, graduated from a music academy and entered her favorite drama work. She quickly became famous, adored by thousands, and never encountered any setbacks or hardships in her life.

She couldn't handle matters.

Seeing a large number of soldiers breaking into the mansion, Mei Yuyin trembled as she asked, "Mr. Sheng, what exactly is happening?"

She knew that with the status of the Imperial Finance Minister, unless there was a major upheaval, no one would dare to break into the courtyard in armor and weaponry.

"A misunderstanding," Sheng Jing said calmly, even squeezing out a rare smile: "It'll be fine once it's talked out."

"I hope it's a misunderstanding." Sun Shehu, wearing frog glasses, walked in with a smile, looking at Sheng Jing, saying, "Coming over so late, have I disturbed the Finance Minister's rest?"

"It is a disturbance." Sheng Jing faced Sun Shehu, nodded expressionlessly.

"No way around it, orders from above, must comply. Into the fire and blade we'd go. Please pardon, Lord Military Minister."

"Speak, what exactly is the issue?" Sheng Jing urged impatiently.

No matter whether on their side there was reason or not, these people broke into private property at night, disturbing his wife, it was their fault...

The young officer behind Sun Shehu 'clang' drew the long knife from his waist, yelling angrily: "Mr. Sun, why waste words with them? Just slice them and be done."

"Shen Lewu..." Sun Shehu stopped him, saying, "Do not be rude to the Lord Military Minister."

"Rude? I'm going to kill someone as well." Shen Lewu completely ignored Sun Shehu's advice, his eyes showing a vicious killing intent: "They harmed my brother, should I still show them respect? Say they did beautifully?"

Sun Shehu looked at Sheng Jing apologetically, explaining: "This is Shen Lewu, the younger brother of Shen Lewen... Lewen died mysteriously, causing his temper to be a bit much."

Sheng Kuang snorted coldly, mocking: "His brother died, what's it got to do with our Sheng Family? Want to vent, go to your own home, don't shout in our Sheng Family backyard. As if our Sheng Family's men are all dead?"

With that, he picked up a wine gourd, gulped down a large mouthful.

Very dashing and disdainful.

"Sheng Kuang, others might fear you, but I don't." Shen Lewu knew Sheng Kuang was a Grandmaster, pointed the long knife at Sheng Kuang, saying: "You think I dare not kill you?"

"Come on." Sheng Kuang patted his neck, saying, "Hack me here."

"You..."

"General Le Wu..." Sun Shehu reached out to restrain Shen Lewu, saying, "Let me talk to the Finance Minister first, ok? The Finance Minister just mentioned this was a misunderstanding... Let's hear their explanation first?"

Shen Lewu couldn't entirely disregard Sun Shehu, after all, he was a trusted aide around the old master, and if he talked about him in front of the master, he wouldn't fare well.

He furiously sheathed his knife, gritting his teeth: "I want to hear their excuses."

Yes, when the identities of Tang Fei and Lu Siyu were exposed, the Shen Family immediately reacted.

Whether it was Shen Lewen being poisoned in the clubhouse box or Shen Leyou being attacked by the assassin in Fengming Palace, it was all done by Tang Fei and Lu Siyu.

Lu Family, as descendants of the Mechanical Ancestor, whether changing faces, disguising or infiltrating systems to alter identity information, all were commonplace to them.

No need to mention Tang Fei, the youngest Grandmaster....

Only his shot at Shen Leyou could achieve an instant kill.

Moreover, during the interception by Great Grandmaster Zhong Daoling, Xuanyuan Mingjing would only ring the bell for rescue.

Looking into their eyes, they were the ones who deserved to die.

Therefore, the hostility in Shen Lewu's heart couldn't be suppressed.

Killed his brother and stirred internal conflicts within the Shen Family.

Should such a person not be killed?

This time, he led many loyal subordinates, came to kill and raid homes.

Only people like Sun Shehu prefer all the negotiations.

Just slice them and be done, what's there to talk about?

Sun Shehu went straight to the tea table, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and after drinking it in one gulp, said contentedly, "Working all night, my throat is dry as smoke, borrowed the Finance Minister's tea to moisten my throat."

Shen Lewu didn't sit.

He sat behind Sun Shehu, also behind Sheng Kuang, his gaze constantly measuring Sheng Kuang's nape, seeming to ponder where to strike the knife.

Sheng Jing sat opposite again, making tea, saying, "Mr. Sun, please feel free."

Sheng Xinhua pulled Mei Yuyin's arm, and the mother and daughter headed upstairs.

"Xin Huai, what's the situation exactly? Why did the Shen Family come knocking?"

"I'll tell you upstairs." Sheng Xinhua was also burning with anxiety.
