Chapter 2001 Take Care
Li Xiangnan trembled violently!
Who could have imagined that Shen Qianzhong's arrival would not only bring Li Xiangnan three gifts and attention and care from higher-ups, but also the most impressive security for his wedding banquet tomorrow!
The Yanjing Garrison!
What kind of unit and force was that?
Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows what kind of support this is!
To be honest, Li Xiangnan has been shocked more than once or twice over the years, but never as shocked as he is now!
This is energy support from Shen Qianzhong!
This was also the strongest he could do within the limits of his abilities!
You must understand, this is the garrison force of Yanjing, the force that protects Yanjing!
What is this kind of power used for in normal times?
At this moment, Shen Qianzhong actually went so far as to use such power to help Li Xiangnan!
He didn't know how much thought and effort it would take to mobilize such forces, but Li Xiangnan knew that the considerations and calculations involved, even the reasons, had to be legitimate and in accordance with regulations, which was extremely difficult!
What merit or ability does Li Xiangnan possess to deserve such high regard from Shen Qianzhong?
The feelings here cannot be explained in just a few words!
Of course, while Li Xiangnan was shocked, Shen Qianzhong also emphasized: "Xiangnan, Lao Zheng is trustworthy! But you must remember, don't use this relationship unless absolutely necessary!"
Shen Qianzhong's words were extremely serious, and his tone was even more forceful. Li Xiangnan naturally knew the gravity of the situation and quickly put the note away: "Captain Shen, I understand!"
Seeing his expression, Shen Qianzhong knew that the other party had taken his words to heart, so he patted him on the shoulder, "Of course, you don't need to be too nervous. I believe that with your cunning, you have already realized that the situation in Yanjing is different from before, and you must have already prepared a response!"
Li Xiangnan smiled generously.
“However,” Shen Qianzhong laughed heartily again, “at tomorrow’s banquet, there will be people wearing gray Zhongshan suits, with gold pens clipped to their sleeves, and they will also symbolically carry a black umbrella. Those are people I arranged! If anything goes wrong, they will help you control the situation!”
A warm feeling welled up in Li Xiangnan's heart.
After arranging the most important and secure escape route, Shen Qianzhong secretly thought of another superficial level of security to control the scene.
While they couldn't show themselves openly, they secretly arranged for all the necessary personnel to be taken care of!
"Uncle, thank you so much!" Li Xiangnan quickly added, "I've prepared myself for a few things, and I'm confident I can handle tomorrow's banquet!"
"That's good!" Shen Qianzhong smiled and patted his shoulder. "You've never let me down! No need to thank me! We've known each other for so many years. If it weren't for your support all this time, I wouldn't have reached this level so quickly. I'll always remember that kindness!"
He paused, then voiced his unspoken meaning, his tone becoming more serious: "Of course, Xiang Nan, you must remember, all I can do is control the situation and prevent it from spiraling out of control! The real challenges are yours to overcome! These powerful families in Yanjing, these grudges, these schemes... in the end, you'll have to face them all yourself!"
Li Xiangnan took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "Uncle, don't worry, I will face what I have to face myself and I will not shy away from it! I will not ask you to take action unless absolutely necessary!"
"Good!" A hint of approval appeared in Shen Qianzhong's eyes. "You're still the same as before, always putting my mind at ease!"
He put on his felt hat, turned to leave, but stopped, turned back and said, "Oh, by the way, someone asked me to pass on a message to you!"
"Who?"
"Old Master Yu, Yu Haoran!" Shen Qianzhong smiled, "He said he'll be here tomorrow too, so you don't need to worry. Just do what you normally would!"
Li Xiangnan was startled.
Yu Haoran.
This name carries special weight within the elite families of Yanjing.
Although the Yu family is one of the top five families, in recent years, Old Master Yu has only focused on his work, living a secluded life and rarely getting involved in worldly affairs!
His personal statement is of extraordinary significance.
"How could Old Master Yu..." Li Xiangnan wondered.
“You saved his life, and you refused the gifts from the Yu family. He remembers all of that!” Shen Qianzhong explained simply, “The Yu family members are also people who clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment. Besides, they are allied with the Song family through marriage!”
After saying that, he patted Li Xiangnan on the shoulder, looked at him deeply, turned and walked into the snowy night, leaving behind the words, "Take care!"
The silhouette of the man in the military overcoat stretched long in the moonlight as he trudged through the snow, disappearing around the corner of the alley.
Li Xiangnan stood at the door, motionless for a long time.
The night wind was cold, biting like knives on his face, but a warm current flowed slowly through his heart.
Shen Qianzhong has arrived, Old Master Yu has also expressed his support, and there are so many people around who are willing to help him.
Tomorrow's wedding banquet may not be as terrible as you imagine.
After smoking a cigarette, he turned around, went back into the courtyard, and entered the main house.
Everyone in the room was looking at him with complicated expressions.
Song Cijiu came over and squeezed his arm. "Xiang Nan, Brother Shen is gone?"
"I'm leaving!" Li Xiangnan said. "He often works overtime, so I can't keep him any longer. I'll find some time to go over and give him a check-up later!"
Song Cijiu nodded, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
Li Dequan spoke up: "Xiang Nan, Shen Wei's visit this time is not just for congratulations, is it?"
Older gingers are more spicy.
Li Xiangnan did not hide anything and simply recounted Shen Qianzhong's instructions and admonitions.
Of course, he didn't mention anything except the phone call and the black umbrella in the Zhongshan suit.
Even so, a collective gasp filled the room.
"Old Master Yu is coming too?" Wang Defa's eyes lit up. "That's a huge honor!"
"Hey? Second Uncle, Sister, Uncle is coming, why didn't Grandma say anything?" Song Ziming scratched his head beside him.
Song Cijiu patted his head, "Uncle has been busy in Zhongnanhai lately. It's almost the end of the year, and he hasn't been home! Your grandma doesn't know either!"
"Oh!"
At this moment, Li Dequan took a puff of his cigarette and slowly said, "Old Yu is giving us face, and this isn't just a matter of face! With the Yu family's stance, at least half of the five upper families are on our side! The Shangguan family should think twice before causing trouble!"
This makes sense.
The five families are deeply entrenched. Even if the Shangguan family is the only dominant one, we still need to consider the combined strength of the other families!
Besides, the ten families in Yanjing, though seemingly united, must each have their own schemes!
If handled properly, the Shangguan family can definitely be isolated!
“However,” Wang Defa said worriedly, “if Shangguan Wuji were to give up so easily, he probably wouldn’t be called Shangguan Wuji!”
“Fatty is right,” Song Ziming chimed in. “He suffered such a huge loss in Nanluoguxiang today, he’ll probably have to get his revenge tomorrow. Besides, I’m increasingly convinced that Shangguan Wuji has someone backing him up…”
"There's someone else? Who is it?" Lei Jin asked.
Song Ziming shook his head: "I'm not sure, but he's definitely not an ordinary person! Shangguan Wuji is putting in so much effort, and his methods don't seem like he's fighting alone. The other party must have quite a background..."
The atmosphere in the room immediately became heavy.
"Get in there! Get in!"
Suddenly, a series of shouts and curses came from outside, along with sounds of pulling and tugging.
Everyone was startled, wondering what had happened again, and they all turned to look at Li Xiangnan.
Li Xiangnan heard the commotion immediately, stood up, and flung open the door, startled.
Then Cheng Kui from the Red Star Ganghouse pushed a little beggar-like child into the courtyard, cursing and swearing.
What happened this time?
