the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 1020: I’ve Heard People in the Military District Mention Him—Known as the Asura of the Army
Mrs. Landon hesitated to speak. After tidying up, they went to call Pearl Landon. Pearl had walked away without saying a word after seeing Richard Shaw yesterday and cried until midnight. The poison wasn’t very serious, and after using the detoxification agent and IV drips, she was mostly fine. Upon hearing the elderly lady from the Shaw family wanted her to come over, she suddenly felt a bit anxious and said, "Mom, the elderly lady isn’t calling me over to scold me, right?"
Mrs. Landon saw her pale face and felt a bit of heartache, holding her hand and saying, "Don’t worry, this matter is Crystal Landon’s fault."
Pearl Landon felt a bit guilty, but at this point, she could only stand firm.
By the time the Landon family dawdled to the Shaw Mansion, it was already afternoon.
Mr. Li and Mr. Liang arrived the fastest, rushing to the Shaw Mansion before lunch, and were surprised when they met at the door.
"Mr. Li, you came too?" Mr. Liang, from the district bureau, brought along his department head, utterly puzzled. The elderly lady from the Shaw family rarely made an appearance for years, and it was Richard Shaw who made the call.
Although Richard Shaw hadn’t been in the Imperial City in recent years and the locals hadn’t heard much about him, Mr. Liang had heard of him from the Military District, known as the "Military Shura." Mr. Liang’s heart raced, saying nothing further and rushing over with people.
Mr. Li often interacted with these dignitaries, but the Shaw Family was a military and governmental family, and he couldn’t even get to the gate of the Shaw Mansion. At this point, he assumed something significant had happened, especially seeing Mr. Liang from the bureau present. He hurriedly asked, "What happened here?"
"I don’t know, let’s go inside and find out." Mr. Liang, feeling quite anxious, motioned for him to go in.
Both of them went inside with their subordinates and saw the elderly lady from the Shaw family talking with a young, handsome man. The man resembled the late Admiral Shaw five or six times over, undoubtedly the only descendant of the third generation, Richard Shaw. Instantly, they quickened their pace and stepped forward with a smile, saying, "Madam Shaw, Major General Shaw, we apologize for the wait. We got stuck in traffic and arrived a bit late."
In fact, it took just an hour, and they’d already floored the accelerator.
The elderly lady smiled, saying, "Mr. Li, Mr. Liang, let’s sit down and talk."
Mr. Li and Mr. Liang were rather flattered and dared not sit, smiling as they said, "Madam, if you need anything, please just let us know. We won’t sit."
When facing Richard Shaw, they dared not sit, much less in front of the elderly lady.
The elderly lady didn’t insist, smiling faintly, "It’s a small matter, but I need to trouble you both. There’s a younger member I like very much, and I want to change her residency to establish her own household and transfer a property to her name. This house is already under her name, but she is young and has always been unable to process the relevant paperwork."
Just a small matter? Both were a bit stunned, but then they thought which young member had such luck to be valued by the elderly lady, leaving them momentarily envious.
"No problem, I specially brought people over for this. We can handle it on-site." Mr. Liang quickly instructed the department head to open the laptop, asked the elderly lady for the young member’s name, and swiftly transferred her registration relationship.
Seeing Mr. Liang move so fast, Mr. Li was a bit annoyed and also became efficient.
In less than twenty minutes, everything was settled.
The elderly lady was pleased, smiling, "Stay for a simple meal together; we’ll need further assistance from you both to handle the follow-up tasks."
