Shen Yichen's unkind look only appeared for a moment, and although it was seen by Si Chengyou, he quickly hid the look in his eyes again, as if nothing had happened, and walked towards Si Chengyou.
"Chief, Shen Shuangchen is so thick-skinned, his injury has almost recovered, he really can't afford the chief's concern." Shen Yichen's smile looked very happy, which made his words sound more like courtesy.
It was similar to the kind of courtesy among Xia Guo people in daily life, I hope you will come, but I don't want you to know that I want you to come, so I will politely pretend to let you not come, but you can't take it seriously...
At least in the eyes of the doorkeeper and driver.
Si Chengyou's identity was precious. At the age of 20, he had reached his current position. His family had been loyal to the country for generations. It was still unknown what endpoint he would reach in the future. If the Shen family could get in touch with such a person, it would be beneficial without any harm.
However, Si Chengyou, who had gone through more experiences than others, even though this sentence seemed to be just courtesy, could still feel Shen Yichen's real rejection hidden in his words.
Si Chengyou had always been keen and never ignored abnormalities he sensed.
When ordinary people communicate with others in their daily lives, if they suddenly feel that the other person's words are a little wrong, they often do not care, but suppress the feeling that something is wrong, and imply to themselves in a good direction.
The language most commonly used for self-suggestion is: I must be overthinking, he has no reason to do that.
Because there was no reason, the anomaly would be ignored and considered normal.
Not until the end when things blew up, when looking back, it turned out there were clues everywhere.
What made Si Chengyou different from others was that he would not wait until things blew up to reflect, but could notice anomalies from the very beginning, and analyze the reasons.
There must be something wrong with Shen Yichen's attitude towards him. First of all, it was impossible because of Shen Shuangchen. Si Chengyou was Shen Shuangchen’s superior.
It was also impossible because of Su Chaohai and Zhou Rong. Their matters were top secret. There was no information leaked outside before he came to the Shen’s house today.
Public opinion reasons were also impossible. His information was protected and could not be searched online at all, nor would anyone report about him.
Other reasons... Si Chengyou also eliminated them one by one. When impossible assumptions were ruled out, what was left was the right answer.
And now, the correct answer Si Chengyou had ruled out was related to Shen Yue.
Shen Yichen's change in attitude had to do with Shen Yue.
Further inference, in addition to the two times he interacted with Shen Yue at the Shen’s house, and once at school, their other interactions were only on online software, and they didn't talk much either.
So the point Shen Yichen was wary of now should be that he had secretly contacted Shen Yue without the Shen family knowing. Of course, once things were related to Shen Yue, it could not be inferred by common sense. Shen Yichen’s attitude should also have other reasons.
What exactly the reasons were could only be asked after finishing the official business and finding another opportunity.
Si Chengyou smiled at Shen Yichen, glanced around, and as expected did not see Shen Yue.
The eyes of the people present, except Shen Yichen, also looked wrong at him, even Shen Hui, who should have been completely uninterested in him at this time, was also looking him over.
Sure enough, Shen Yue did something.
Si Chengyou smiled at Shen Yichen and took out the documents in his hand, "Regarding this mission, we have discovered some important information that we must seek Mr. Shen’s opinion. If possible, may I have a word."
Shen Yichen was originally still thinking that his sister was only 15 years old! 15 years old!! But Si Chengyou's words instantly sobered him up.
From Si Chengyou’s words, it didn’t seem like a small matter.
He did not come because of Shen Yue.
Shen Yichen suppressed his doubts, nodded at Si Chengyou, "Please."
Shen Yichen led Si Chengyou to the reception room, let everyone else wait outside, then closed the door.
Si Chengyou only glanced at the structure of the room to determine the location of cameras and audio recording devices.
"Mr. Shen, the next thing I'm going to say involves national secrets. May I ask you to turn off all electronic devices in the house and disconnect from the Internet?"
Shen Yichen was originally pouring tea for Si Chengyou. Hearing this, he realized that things were more serious than he thought.
He put down his teacup and said to Si Chengyou, "Let's go to my study."
On the way to the study, Si Chengyou happened to see Shen Yue take out caramel pudding from the refrigerator and give it to Shen Jize. Shen Yue glanced up, her eyes meeting his right away.
At this moment, avoiding eye contact would seem too unnatural, so Si Chengyou nodded at Shen Yue.
Seeing this, Shen Yue also smiled at Si Chengyou.
This time Si Chengyou had successfully completed the mission, solved Shen Hui’s worries, and helped take the blame. He was really a good person.
Shen Yue was still willing to give him this bit of face.
Shen Yue took another look at the caramel pudding in her hand, scooped a spoonful to eat, thinking that when Si Chengyou left later, she would give him a pudding as compensation for letting him take the blame.
Shen Yichen walked in front leading the way and did not see the little interaction between the two, but Shen Jize saw it clear as day.
At that moment, Shen Jize’s young heart was greatly shocked, and he realized that things were not simple.
But he didn’t say anything.
As it was well known, the Shen family’s tradition was to endure everything in their hearts without saying anything unless necessary.
If he did say something, then it must be because big brother had forced him or Shen Yue let something slip accidentally.
...
Si Chengyou and Shen Yichen came to the study. The two sat facing each other, with a red wooden table between them, on which was placed the prepared tea.
Si Chengyou smelled the tea fragrance and found that it was not made by Shen Yue, so he had no desire to taste it. He pushed the documents directly in front of Shen Yichen and got straight to the point, "Shen Hui’s adoptive parents have been caught. They are Shen Yue’s biological parents and the originators who used the entire Shen family as experimental subjects."
