n prison, and he didn't even remember the day she was released. So what right did he have today to stand here, putting on a show and demanding that he be transferred"No change." Jian Tong said slowly,..."No, Master doesn't need to..."

"It was my negligence." The man looked out the window, saying lightly. Shen Er shivered all over, his shoulders visibly slumping... The Boss had concluded that this was something the old master did.

"Boss, think twice. There must be something we don't know going on here. Please give me another month, and I will do my best to find clues!" Shen Er suddenly knelt down, his voice firm. The Shen family had been kind to his entire family; if because of his investigation report he couldn't clear Miss Jian's name, and instead caused infighting among the Shen family members, he, Shen Er, would feel guilty!

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiujin calmly turned his head and glanced down at Shen Er who was kneeling on the ground. With a single glance, he saw through Shen Er's thoughts and chuckled lightly:

"I had you discreetly investigate what happened three years ago, but it seems, Shen Er, you still think no one knows about this"

He tapped the files on his desk, his eyes narrowed. "I'm afraid that when you first made your move, you were already under their noses. Look at this 'evidence,' so seamless." But why did the old man make such a decision three years ago

This is also something Shen Xiujin hasn't figured out yet.

If it's said that three years ago, there were indeed some things that bothered him greatly, and several parties competed, but this is also the Shen family's own business. No matter what, the old man shouldn't have dragged a girl who was only twenty at the time into the fire.

"Go down." Shen Xiujin raised his arm and waved, signaling Shen Er to leave.

Shen Er still wanted to speak, but when he looked up, he was locked in the gaze of eyes that seemed to have pierced through his thoughts: "Shen Er, I know what you're thinking, but this matter is no longer a simple calculation or petty scheme between women."

"That Miss Jian..."

"I will marry her."

Shen Er Yi suddenly jerked up, his eyes snapping open and blinking... Boss said, what do we need to do

But if it really is the old master... wouldn't the old master let Miss Jian enter the Shen family's gate

"I will marry her, and I will protect her for my whole life." When Shen Xiujin said these words, he didn't grit his teeth or look at her lovingly, but Shen Er just believed that the man in front of him was not just talking casually.

He thought of the woman who used to chase after Boss all over the world, always standing behind him. He didn't know whether to be happy for Ms. Jian, celebrating that she had made it through, or feel sorry for her. This belated promise came after her world was ravaged by a storm of destruction.

When Shen Er left the study, he was still unable to calm his mind.

May this poor woman finally come to an end of her suffering and live happily ever after, just like in a fairy tale.

Shen Xiujin's brow furrowed at the moment, for his heart had almost confirmed whether or not the old man had interfered in the matter three years ago.

But for why the old man had to pick a fight with a little girl, Shen Xiuqin thought about countless reasons, but couldn't find any clues.

If you were to say what Jian Tong's strengths are, yes, there are. Her diligence and perseverance, her willingness to work hard and endure hardship, in this world of glamour and wealth, even a man might not be able to match her.

Her excellence, there is no need to doubt.

If one were to say that the old master was afraid of her being too outstanding and becoming a stumbling block for the Shen family in the future... that wouldn't make sense either.

If it's related to the competition three years ago, then it doesn't make sense. The Jian family, back when Old Master Jian was alive, did have some weight. But Old Master Jian had already passed away by then, and in those competitions, the Jian family barely participated and missed out on the final round.

Shen Xiujin wasn't foolish, he wouldn't be naive enough to go ask the old man right now why.

Raised her arm to look at the time, then stepped out of the study and into the bedroom. She pushed the door open and said, "Come with me to a business dinner tonight."

"No." In the bedroom, a woman sat quietly by the window, looking out at the window that was already fitted with security screens. Through the glass, she looked up at the sky. Hearing the man's voice, she replied without turning her head, in a calm and gentle tone.

"It's not up to you."

A man's voice, low and emotionless, spoke.

With a smirk playing on her lips, she said to the man behind her, "Since it's not up to me, Mr. Shen, why bother informing me" Just like him, after that day, he had confined her to this estate, unable to leave, just like a caged goldfinch.

Every window in the manor was fitted with burglar bars the next day... Burglar bars, to protect against whombelief"!Da da, da da...Shen Xiujin's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, squinting at the document still spread out on the table. After a long time, a contemplative look appeared in his eyes....
