Nan Yan and Qin Lü quickly uncovered most of the Sheng family’s secrets in a short time. They refrained from delving into the core secrets stored in dangerous files for the moment. These core secrets were heavily guarded, and any attempt to breach them would trigger their immediate self-destruction to prevent theft. However, this would also expose them. Moreover, they hadn’t thoroughly examined the rest of the Sheng family’s information, which would take some time to review. So, for now, they weren’t in a hurry to investigate further.
In the evening, Sheng Jing invited them to dine in the dining hall. With their current situation, they were somewhat constrained, trying to avoid unnecessary conflicts as much as possible. Typically, the Sheng family dined together, with about seventy to eighty core members needing four large tables. Therefore, the dining hall occupied an area of over four hundred square meters. Sheng’s elderly father, in poor health, dined in his bedroom, where the meals were sent. Apart from him, all the Sheng family members in the town were present.
Nan Yan took this opportunity to familiarize herself with these people. It seemed ingrained in the Sheng family members to look down on outsiders. Although the Sheng family treated Nan Yan and her group as “honored guests,” they were seated separately, indicating they weren’t worthy of dining at the same table. Being in the same dining hall was already considered a mark of respect.
Of course, Nan Yan and her companions had no desire to dine with the Sheng family members. The separation suited them fine.
During the meal, Nan Yan could sense several pairs of eyes occasionally glancing their way, one of them filled with hostility. As they ate, Sheng Yuanhang suddenly approached them with a cup of wine in hand.
Sheng Yuanhang stood before them, tall and commanding, with an innate presence. He wore glasses with gold rims and carried a hint of apology on his face. His voice was gentle and courteous as he spoke:
“Chen Si is under my command. It was my failure to discipline him properly that led to his reckless actions, which could have harmed Doctor Hua’s disciples. Although his actions were independent of me, he is ultimately my responsibility. Allow me to apologize and make amends with this toast.”
Sheng Yuanhang felt quite aggrieved. He had to apologize to those who killed his man, and he struggled to contain his rising anger. Yet, he had to suppress it. His hostility towards Nan Yan and her group intensified. Sacrificing his position in his grandfather’s eyes for the sake of a few people was not worth it. Now, with his grandfather relying on Doctor Hua for treatment and being in a position of dependence, it was not the time to confront them. He vowed to settle the score with them once his grandfather recovered.
