âYoung Master Han, as per your instructions, negotiations with City C had been going smoothly, but suddenly, there was an unexpected complication, and Iâm afraid things have become quite difficult,â the visitor spoke, with a tone that betrayed the thorny nature of the problem.
Shen Han frowned, âWhat happened? What kind of complication?â
The other party hesitated for a moment before asking cautiously, âYoung Master Han, is the woman you want to transfer someone elseâs wife?â
âNonsense!â Shen Han burst out in rage.
âBut weâve received a letter from there, saying that the person is a military spouse and our request has been denied.â
âWhat?!â
Shen Han thought he had heard wrong, but after the other side confirmed it with utmost seriousness, his face turned ashen in an instant.
For a long while, he still couldnât quite believe it.
âAre you certain the person youâre after is Su Shu, and not mistaken with someone else?â
âYoung Master Han, when it comes to tasks assigned by the elder of the Shen Family, none of us would dare to be negligent. We have cleared all junctions this time, yet the final procedure simply cannot be approved. After making several inquiries, we finally got a response stating that the person is about to become a military spouse, and our application was rejected prior to that,â he paused, feeling it necessary to clarify one thing.
âRight, thereâs something important I think you should know. Young Master Han, the person you want to transfer, is she the daughter-in-law of the Tang Family from Province B?â
Shen Hanâs complexion darkened visibly several shades once more.
âThe Tang Family?â The words came out cold and sharp through clenched teeth.
Which Tang Family?
An unruly and defiant face flashed before Shen Hanâs eyes.
With his brows cold and fierce, and his sharp jawline, the tightly pressed thin lips gave away his terribly bad mood.
The other person sighed internally. Sure enough! The Shen Familyâs young master had chosen a hot potato for them to handle.
The messenger couldnât help feeling a bit aggrieved as well. He had done many tasks for the Shen Family before, but none as frustrating as this one. His people were nearly uprooted by the other side; it was fortunate they withdrew quickly. Even the thought of discreetly transferring someone had become impossible now.
The Shen Family wielded no small influence, but the family on the other side was not weak either.
Moreover, in todayâs world, the militaryâs influence was growing even stronger. The Shen Family in politics, the other side in the military; caught in this military-political tussle, they had a hard time running errands in between!
This errand was not easy to run.
They kept a tight watch over the person; their efforts to send someone in, openly or covertly, through two simultaneous approaches, had been in vain.
There are countless women in the world, especially now. As someone born into the esteemed Shen Family, Shen Han could find any kind of woman. Why did he have to set his sights on someone elseâs wife?
âYoung Master Han, this matter is not easy. We probably wonât be able to accomplish it. If you donât want to give up, it would be best if the patriarch personally intervenes, notifying the other side to follow the official procedures, as it seems we may not succeed otherwise,â the visitor suggested.
Shen Han remained silent for a moment before speaking, âYou just mentioned âabout to becomeâ a military spouse?â
âOh, yes.â
âAre you certain we canât get the person back?â
âThis⊠is somewhat difficult.â âSomewhat difficultâ was a gentle refusal.
âCan my people be sent in?â
âWhat do you mean, Young Master Han?â
âHow confident are you?â
âCity C is under lockdown now?!â The other party hinted at the difficulty of the task.
âHow much resources do you need? I can double it.â
âThisâŠâ The other party was somewhat tempted.
Shen Han lit a cigarette and said coldly, âI do not wish for the Shen Family to know of my whereabouts.â That meant: if you want the benefits, keep your mouth shut.
âYoung Master Han, without going through the Shen Family, do you really have access to that much⊠resources?â
âUp to you.â
The visitor hesitated for a long while but couldnât resist the huge temptation, âAlright, Iâll help you make some inquiries, and see if it can be done. Iâll bring you a message in three days!â
âIn three days, meet me outside the city on Tenth Street.â
âUnderstood.â
After the visitor left, Shen Han sat in the club until dawn. When he left,
he finally understood what the sharp pain he felt the moment he heard the news of Su Shu getting married truly meant.
