Chapter 480 - 480 Valor Gate Is Displeased?
480 Valor Gate Is Displeased?
The man on the office chair didn’t faint like what the fourth senior brother had expected. Instead, the man’s eyes were opened, and his sharp gaze contained a spirited look that would instill fear.
With his rectangular face shape, he looked clearly like a strict and stubborn person, giving off an extremely imposing feeling.
Seeing this man, the fourth senior brother’s legs instantly turned soft and he collapsed to the ground, gulping and shouting in panic, “Third, Third Martial Uncle?!”
The few inner disciples sent by Valor Gate to protect the Shen Manor were led by Valor Gate’s Third Martial Uncle, who was also Shen Ruojing’s third senior brother.
He was 41 years old and was very solemn and serious.
Since his little junior martial sister was in trouble, he naturally came to offer help without any hesitation.
This was why Shen Ruojing handed the Shen Family’s security system to him. Otherwise, it’d be considered a humiliation to have invited the Valor Gate’s third martial uncle here yet have him take orders from other security guards!
When the Valor Gate’s third martial uncle saw the fourth senior brother, he lashed out with a kick!
Since the third martial uncle sat on the wheeled office chair, some of his force would naturally be reduced. However, when his kick landed on the fourth senior brother, the latter knocked heavily against the wall. This showed how impressive the third martial uncle was!
The fourth senior brother felt all of his internal organs being stirred up. He couldn’t care less about the pain and knelt on the floor. “Third Martial Uncle, please spare my life!”
Valor Gate had a rule that disciples weren’t allowed to commit crimes. However, the fourth senior brother was here to break into someone’s house, and the words he said earlier were overboard too… (How dare this guy think of bullying my junior martial sister?)
At the thought of this, the third martial uncle became even angrier and he stood up.
He was neither tall nor had a burly figure, yet each step he took gave off the feeling as if the ground was shaking and the mountains were trembling. He then walked up to the fourth martial brother and pressed his foot down on the latter’s chest. “Speak! Who sent you here?!”
–
Shen Cong drove his car and stopped it outside the Shen Manor.
He had gone through a few sticks of cigarettes but hadn’t seen the fourth martial brother coming out. He instantly cursed in his heart.
This fourth martial brother was a l*cherous person. He must have taken a liking to Shen Ruojing’s face.
However…
Didn’t he also harbor indecent thoughts toward Shen Ruojing before he found out that she was his cousin?
Shen Cong understood the fourth martial brother.
However, he was afraid that the latter would take too long and get discovered. Therefore, he kept sending him messages.
[Don’t go overboard.]
[Don’t get found out.]
[The Shen Manor’s security isn’t that bad.]
Shen Cong sent out three consecutive messages, but all of them sank into the bottomless sea.
Shen Cong was stunned. He didn’t dare to call the fourth martial brother for fear of alarming the Shen Family. No matter how amazing the fourth martial brother was, there were close to 100 people in the Shen Manor, including the masters and the servants. If everyone was woken up, the fourth martial brother and his group wouldn’t be able to make their escape…
Just as Shen Cong was thinking of this, the sound of a car engine sounded. Shen Cong looked over to take a look, only to see a few cars heading straight for him. When they got closer, he realized that these were police cars!
F*ck!
The fourth martial brother failed?
It was too late for Shen Cong to escape!
However, he didn’t feel anxious.
The reason the fourth martial brother dared to take on a criminal job like this was because he would definitely not betray the person who hired him. In Shen Cong’s alibi, he was only back at the Shen Manor to take a look because he had just moved out and wasn’t used to the new life. He had nothing to do with the thieves who had broken into the Shen Manor…
As he thought this, when the police came surrounding him to arrest him, he was very cooperative in raising his hands. “Officers, I’m not a thief. This is my home, it’s true…”
However, the policemen handcuffed him without saying anything. They then brought him into the Shen Manor.
It seemed that they had really failed.
It was definitely because the fourth senior brother had taken too long…
As Shen Cong thought this, he was brought to the living room and then saw the few Valor Sect’s outer disciples having their hands tied up and docilely keeping their heads lowered. Old Master Shen also had a dark gaze as if he was going to spew fire. Shen Cong immediately asked, “Granduncle, what happened?”
The moment Shen Cong said this, Shen Yuansong walked over abruptly.
“Pa!” Shen Yuansong gave Shen Cong a hard slap. “Look at what you’ve done!”
The policemen then said that Shen Cong was the one who hired these people to rob their family.
Shen Cong cried out that he was maligned. “I just came back to take a look. I have nothing to do with these thieves! Fourth Senior Brother, speak up! Did you come to the Shen Manor because of your l*stful desires? I am definitely not the one who instigated you to do this!”
He was certain that the fourth senior brother wouldn’t expose him.
Unexpectedly, the fourth senior brother confessed honestly… “He is the one who hired us. The commission was two gold bars and they are in the car I drove here. I also have our chat records on WeChat that can be used as evidence…”
Shen Cong was instantly confused and in disbelief.
Little did he know that the fourth senior brother was already scared out of his wits when facing the third martial uncle. He didn’t dare to tell any more lies.
The situation in Valor Gate was especially simple—suppression via martial prowess! The third martial uncle’s skill was so good that it was considered a one-sided oppression when he dealt with the fourth senior brother!
Now that both witness and evidence were in place, there was nothing else Shen Cong could say and he was taken away by the police. Shen Cong knew that it was over for him and he cried, pleading for Shen Yuansong to spare him. “Granduncle, Granduncle, we’re family after all! Now that the Shen Family is in such a bad plight, please forgive me this once! I won’t make the same mistake again!”
However, it was useless. Shen Yuansong remained expressionless.
He had watched Shen Cong grow up. As the third generation, Shen Cong even had the possibility of becoming the head of the family two generations down. But now, things had come to this…
However, if the Shen Family didn’t clear the internal troubles and had to face external troubles, it would be bad. Hence, Shen Yuansong must make a choice!
At the thought of how Shen Cong had instructed the fourth senior brother to have some fun with Shen Ruojing, Shen Yuansong was instantly enraged. He waved his hand and said, “I won’t be writing a dispute settlement! Officers, please deal with him in the strictest way possible!”
The policemen took the fourth senior brother and the outer disciples out.
Now, the fourth senior brother had his head lowered, and his gaze was filled with listlessness.
He had been driven out of Valor Gate by the third martial uncle earlier. Moreover, the latter had told the police to deal with him based on the rules… To the fourth senior brother, this was the most serious kind of punishment!
When Shen Cong was brought out by the policemen, he turned his head abruptly at Shen Yuansong, bellowing furiously, “Shen Yuansong, why are you acting so arrogantly? Who in the capital doesn’t know that having offended the queen, the Shen Family will be facing bankruptcy very soon!? I’ll at least get food while in jail. I’ll wait for the day you guys can’t even afford to eat!…”
As he said this, he was taken away by the police.
However, what he said was heard in the living room, making Shen Yuansong’s expression turned heavy.
Shen Yuansong took a deep breath and turned around. He then saw that the middle-aged man who was in charge of security was talking to his granddaughter not far away.
Shen Ruojing said, “Senior Brother, thank you so much for tonight.”
The Valor Gate’s third martial uncle was a solemn and rigid man. However, he felt uneasy in front of his pretty junior sister and he scratched his head shyly. “Junior Sister, you don’t have to thank me.”
Just as Shen Ruojing was planning to say more, Shen Yuansong walked over with a solemn expression. “Jingjing, that thief earlier seems to be a Valor Gate’s disciple. Will we make Valor Gate feel displeased if we let the police take him away without telling them beforehand?”
The Shen Family was in a precarious situation now, and Shen Yuansong didn’t wish to spoil their relationship with Valor Gate as well.
Although the Valor Gate’s disciples were in the wrong, according to the rules of influential families, they should have informed Valor Gate of the situation first.
Shen Ruojing. “…”
Shen Ruojing’s third senior brother. “…”
The two of them exchanged a glance, suddenly at a loss of how they should explain to Old Master Shen.
Shen Ruojing fell silent for a moment before saying, “Grandfather, erm…”
