Chapter 577: 367 Hidden Big Shot, a Celestial Social Circle (5 updates)

Mrs. Huo, upon seeing this, chuckled, “That young girl seemed quite thin, standing silently on the side; | thought

she was a delicate young girl, but it turns out she is pretty formidable.”

“Aunt Huo, | heard her martial skills are not bad either.”

If Jiang Shiyi still couldn't figure out the situation by now, then he would be as foolish as Qi Zeyan.

The Huo parents, though they hadn't explicitly stated it, were sizing up Shen Shuci with the eyes of potential in-

laws.

Tang Wan'’s aunt marrying into the Huo Family?

Although he was not very familiar with Jiang Jinsang and his group, he was aware that this group was heavily

prone to internal discord, often undermining each other. Jiang Xiaowu was quite assertive. To suddenly diminish

his status by a generation was one thing with strangers, but amongst his own friends...

He dared not imagine what would happen next.

“She's so slim, yet she knows sfighting moves?” Mrs. Huo observed Shen Shuci, her smile growing more

pronounced.

“That's just something | heard,” Jiang Shiyi had heard Jiang Chengsi mention casually.

“That's good, if she were too delicate, she probably couldn’t handle that boy’s antics...”

“Ahem—" The man coughed loudly, signaling to be more careful with words.

ok

The police, seeing Peng Yan's legs wobble, clutching a recording pen, and about to collapse, sighed helplessly.

Why did she have to make such an unsightly commotion?

“Miss Peng, please cwith us.”

Such provocation and defamation, even if Shen Shuci did not pursue it, the company would still seek

compensation for the property damage and harassment.

“By the way, Miss Shen, who is the manager here?”

“I am,” said the manager, stepping forward.

“And...” The police’s gaze landed on the members of the Huo Family nearby, “Please cwith all of us for

further assistance in the investigation.”

Shen Shuci nodded and was about to turn around to gather her bag when she saw a man acting more swiftly,

organizing her bag properly.

“Thank you.” Shen Shuci took her bag from him, ready to follow the police out.

But as they were leaving, the officers at the exit saw three people standing there and were once again baffled.

Ever since Jiang Shiyi had torn his biological father apart during a Jiang Family meeting, his nhad become

notorious in Beijing.

Someone who dared to confront his own father, and living with the unrestrained Fourth Lord—who could cope if

these two stirred up trouble?

Moreover, living in Hexi, the officers from Hexi Police Station were naturally more cautious around him.

His presence was one thing, but why the Huo Family too...

“Huo Chief...”

“Ahem!” The man cleared his throat sharply, cutting off the officer's words, “I'm just watching; you do your job.

Don’t mind me.”

With such prominent figures present, the officers hardly dared to ignore them.

Meanwhile, Shen Shuci, standing far away, was observing the three people in the distance. She recognized Jiang

Shiyi but began to feel a headache inexplicably. Could it be that Tang Wan had found out? Yet from the corner of

her eye, she saw a middle-aged couple nearby seemingly greeting someone beside her.

She turned her head and asked, “The uncle and aunt over there, do you know them?”

Too far away and partly obscured by the police, she couldn’t see clearly; otherwise, she might have noticed how

much the middle-aged man resembled the person beside him.

“I know them.”

Shen Shuci nodded silently, reaching for her phone to check missed calls and unread messages.

“Those are my parents.”

Shen Shuci’s fingers trembled, nearly dropping her phone again.

“Your... your parents?” Shen Shuci stiffened completely, suddenly unsure of what to do, instinctively brushing a

stray lock of hair behind her ear and feeling inexplicably uneasy, “How... how did they end up here?”

“I'm not sure.”

A group left with the police, and the office quieted down as speople cleaned up the aftermath, while others

packed up to head home.

“| feel like the couple standing by the exit looked very familiar.”

“The Huo Family from Hexi, how could they not be familiar? Those are...”

A few gathered together, whispering amongst themselves.

“So, Shen Shuci’s boyfriend is... Manager Fan really hit a tough spot.”

“I can mention, | know the third young master of the Jiang Family too,” someone interjected.

“The Jiang Family?”

Once again, the group becchaotic, wondering just who Shen Shuci really knew.

“Didn’t she say her parents were abroad and she didn’t have many friends in Beijing?”

“Speaking of which, | can hardly believe it myself. She knows the Jiang Family and the Huo Family. Today at noon,

she even had spicy hotpot within the staff cafeteria.”

“Hey, she’s human too, right? Eats, drinks, and everything—just like us.”

As people discussed, packed up, and prepared to leave for home, even the legendary Huo Family members had

shown up. At this point, even if the King of Heaven appeared, it would seem normal.

At the entrance of the office area, they were dumbfounded to encounter Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang.

“Excuse me, may | ask if Shen Shuci works in this department?” Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang had just arrived.

“Um... yes.”

“Thank you.” Tang Wan said and was about to enter the office area.

“But she has already gone to the police station.”

“Police station?” Tang Wan frowned, “How long has she been gone?”

“About half an hour.”

“Hexi Police Station?”

“Yes.”

“Thank you.” Tang Wan didn’t ask further and pulled Jiang Jinsang out with her.

The remaining colleagues looked at each other and unanimously decided that they must eat something good

tonight to calm their nerves.

How could Shen Shuci have hidden herself so deeply? What kind of extraordinary people had she cto know?

Meanwhile, inside the police station

The police were conducting routine questioning of the Huo Family members, and Shen Shuci had just finished her

statement. Her fingers incessantly picked at the disposable paper cup she held, the water inside had already

gone cold, yet she was reluctant to put it down.

Ever since the Huo Family members were brought in for questioning, this couple had moved to the seat opposite

her and had been staring at her for a long while.

Jiang Shiyi, from beginning to end, was an outsider, standing aside...

Watching the !

Although Mrs. Huo had a smile on her lips, her posture was proper, and even without speaking, she carried a

dignified and imposing aura; the man by her side need not be mentioned, he was exactly like a certain stern-

faced individual.

Shen Shuci smiled at them, “Hello, uncle and auntie.”

“Hello.” Mrs. Huo smiled, and the man beside her just hummed.

Shen Shuci didn’t know what to say, feeling inexplicably guilty and panicked under their gaze.

Until her phone vibrated, Tang Wan had called her, and she excused herself, taking the phone outside to answer

i)

“Auntie, how are you? Are you okay? Why did you go to the police station?” Tang Wan had too many questions.

“Let’s talk when we meet, it’s too much to explain right now.”

“How are you? Are you okay?”

“I'm fine.” Shen Shuci was too

anxious earlier, thinking that Peng,

Yan had called the ShéD Fay

elders; Dtthen she saw the missed

calls on her phone and realized they

were to Tang Wan. The content is on

When she filled out her family contact at work, she only listed Tang Wan, since the elders were abroad and

wouldn't be able to help in an emergency, and it would only worry them.

At that time, it was a chaotic act of concern, she hadn’t thought much and had threatened Peng Yan, which really

scared her.

Later, at the police station, she was questioned before she had a chance to call and reassure her.

“It's good that you're okay; | was so worried. Let's talk when we meet.” Tang Wan knew it couldn't be clarified

over the phone.

After hanging up, Mrs. Huo approached her, “You're Ms. Shen, right?”

“You can just callShuci.”

“Just finished work and haven't had dinner yet, right? There's nothing much here, cto our house for dinner.”

“Huh?” Shen Shuci was surprised.

Looking up, she saw the man not far from her negotiating something with a police officer, completely ignoring

her.

“I heard you got injured while riding at

our place, | feel quite sorry about that,

so | wanted to PLSD for ameal.

SPEER of whieh, (ven been

bsek to Beijing for more than two

years, and | don't even know what's

been going on at home. We'll have to

leave right after dinner, just as a

gesture of apology.” The content is

Jiang Shiyi, standing on the side, heard everything clearly.

This made it difficult for Shen Shuci to refuse; she was an elder and her tone was so amiable, it truly wasn't easy

to decline.

“Actually, thanks to Mr. Huo’s help at that time, | wasn’t injured, so you shouldn't worry.”

“Without showing sgratitude, | wouldn't feel at ease. If you really are busy, then never mind.”

Today Mr. Huo had helped her again. Shen Shuci glanced at him and nodded in agreement, “That's fine.”

“Then let's go now.”

“But I'm still waiting for someone...”

“Tang Wan?” Mrs. Huo understood everything too clearly, Jiang Shiyi having cwas most likely Tang Wan’s

doing.

Shen Shuci nodded.

“Let her cdirectly to our house then, | am really short on tand can’t wait much longer.”

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Shuci nodded in agreement.

pocket, wondering whether to infgrm
