Chapter 1087 - 1149: Bombshell

"How many years has it been since the old leader appeared?"

"Oh my! I never thought I’d have the chance to see the old leader in my lifetime."

"Something big is definitely happening."

"..."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion. Those who knew the inside story sympathetically glanced at Hai Yunfeng and Shen Ming, among others.

Qin Shuang was completely confused. Of course, she knew the famous name of Old Leader Shen and was somewhat fearful of him. But what was the situation now? Had something happened she was unaware of?

"What’s happening?" She grabbed someone she knew and asked.

"Oh! You still don’t get it?"

"What do you mean? I’m completely confused by you all."

"The Sheng’an people were taken away, personally escorted by Old Leader Shen. What does that tell you? It means she is the granddaughter of Old Leader Shen, the daughter the Minister of General Political Department has been searching for!"

This revelation was undoubtedly a bombshell, leaving everyone dizzy and dazed. Even those who had suspected it previously found it hard to believe, doubting their own judgment.

Sheng Ning passively followed Shen Luhua into the car, a very spacious RV. She was secretly surprised, thinking RVs existed in the eighties? Maybe she was mistaken?

The three sat in the back, Shen Luhua patted her hand reassuringly and said, "Ningning, I’m sorry for keeping it from you all these years."

"So you’re Shen Yu’s aunt?" Apologies, the Shen family member she truly interacted with was just the scoundrel Shen Yu; she hadn’t interacted with anyone else, except maybe Dong Shuhua.

"Hmm!" Shen Luhua nodded, "That’s all in the past now; I wouldn’t have come back if it hadn’t been for An’an’s incident this time."

Old Shen was right there in the car! He was so angry at his daughter’s words that his beard was sticking out.

Sheng Ning quietly nudged her, signaling not to say it aloud.

"It’s okay, I’m someone who ran away from home; am I afraid of family being upset? Besides, that hasn’t been my home for a long time. My home is in Shixi Town."

Sheng Ning could tell that every word Shen Luhua uttered was heartfelt. She clenched her hand tightly and said emotionally, "Mom, An’an and I will take care of you for life."

"Well... your father and I are waiting for your filial piety!"

Old Shen silently watched Sheng Ning’s interaction with his daughter, feeling a mix of emotions. Though his daughter lived in poverty, he could tell from her interaction with her stepdaughter that the relationship was harmonious.

It seemed she was living well in the countryside.

"What about An’an? Are we just leaving like this?" Sheng Ning thought about An’an, still reluctant to leave. She knew An’an was detained at the court, initially thinking she could see him during the trial, but things changed unexpectedly.

The dedicated driver glanced nonchalantly at the passenger seat. Sheng Ning noticed his subtle expression and looked over, coincidentally meeting An’an’s dark eyes.

She was startled, then overwhelmingly joyful. "An’an? You... you really were released?"

"Yes!"

"Then why didn’t you say anything just now?" She had worried for so long.

"I saw you chatting happily with my aunt, I didn’t want to interrupt."

"Aunt?"

"Aunt?"

Sheng Ning and Shen Luhua simultaneously echoed, surprised, looking at An’an.

"You remember everything?" Shen Luhua sighed and asked, "About everything?" Actually, when she decided to take An’an away back then, there was another key reason.
