"That's different." Sheng Kuang retorted: "Our Sheng Family is loyal to the Empire, loyal to the King... Who are you loyal to?"

"I'm also loyal to the Empire, loyal to the King... Why? Do you think the one in Fengming Palace cannot represent the country?"

"What's really going on, heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know; everyone has a scale in their heart." Sheng Kuang sneered.

It's not yet time to completely fall out with Shen Wuxiang's side, so some things can't be said too clearly.

Saying it like that would leave no room for maneuver with my brother.

"Indeed, everyone has a scale in their heart. You do what you want, and I do what I need." Zhao Wuji sighed deeply and said: "In this world, we are not truly free."

"I don't want to discuss this with you, I just want to ask... Do you really want to intercept us? Restrict our freedom?"

"Brother Sheng, it's the decision from above." Zhao Wuji pointed to the sky and said: "You should understand, without that person's nod, how could we dare to intercept the family members of the Finance Minister? I also don't want to become mortal enemies with someone like Brother Sheng, the wine deity."

Sheng Kuang was silent.

The current situation was extremely tricky.

Shen Wuxiang personally ordered the Security Bureau and Ba Dao's Zhao Wuji and others to intercept them at the airport. Neither the Security Bureau nor Zhao Wuji could defy Shen Wuxiang's orders.

I could fight Zhao Wuji to death, but what about Mei Yuyin and Sheng Xinhua, the mother and daughter?

This is the advantage of having military power in one's hands.

What's that saying?

Whoever's fist is the biggest has reasoning, and political power comes from the barrel of a gun.

Scholar...

Just then, the airport broadcast sounded an alert: All passengers, please note, boarding will commence for Starship C1109 heading to Rui An at Port 17 shortly...

This is the starship journey that Sheng Xinhua and her family are about to take.

Mei Yuyin looked at Sheng Xinhua. Although she is the mother, she usually doesn't care about worldly affairs, fully engrossed in her theater hobbies.

Sheng Xinhua, however, is perceptive and insightful, with a vision and mind beyond ordinary people's reach.

Sheng Xinhua faced Guo Nu and numerous Security Bureau agents blocking her path and said: "I want to make a call."

"Go ahead." Guo Nu appeared indifferent.

The orders he received were to ensure they wouldn't escape, so no matter who called, they must firmly execute the command.

Sheng Xinhua dialed her father's number and said: "The Security Bureau has chased us to the airport, we can't board."

There was an extended silence on the other end, followed by a man's deep and steady voice: "Come back. Come home."

She hung up the phone, looked at Mei Yuyin and Sheng Kuang, and said: "Let's go back. Mr. Sheng wants us to go home."

"Miss Sheng is a smart woman." Guo Nu praised with a grin.

If a major incident truly occurred, it would not look good for the Military Minister, and he would end up accused of 'ineffective management.'

"However, we have to return to our own home." Sheng Xinhua looked at Guo Nu and said: "If you dare take us somewhere else, I would rather bite my tongue and end myself…"

This time, it was Guo Nu's turn to make a phone call for instructions.

Soon, he returned, looked at Sheng Xinhua with displeasure, and said: "Fine, you can return to your own home."

Disappointed internally, had he managed to take Sheng Xinhua and her mother to the Security Bureau, he would have had much more room for maneuver.

Pity, the Military Minister just wanted to restrict their exit, not completely apprehend them.

Let's wait and see...

Sheng Jing hasn't completely fallen, so he can't act recklessly.

What if they reconcile with the Military Minister again?

He would end up being the Joker.

Sheng Xinhua held Mei Yuyin's arm, picked up her suitcase, and left.

Sheng Kuang glanced at Zhao Wuji and closely followed behind them.

Zhao Wuji smiled silently.

He came under orders from the Military Minister to help Guo Nu capture them, but he didn't want a real fallout with the Sheng Family.

The Ba Dao Sect has thrived for a hundred years and remains prosperous today, having its own survival strategies.

"Director Guo, shall we return as well?" Zhao Wuji asked with a cheerful tone.

Nominally, Guo Nu is the person in charge of this incident, so he is technically Zhao Wuji's immediate superior.

Zhao Wuji didn't have to think highly of him but had to acknowledge him.

Because, in fact, Guo Nu is one of Shen Wuxiang's 'trusted aides.'

Even though his skill might be average, he is deeply trusted by Shen Wuxiang.

If the Shen Family truly establishes a new regime, Guo Nu's position would be quite formidable and worthy of respect, or even fear.

"Let's go back." Guo Nu suppressed his ill thoughts towards Sheng Xinhua, his chubby face regaining its staple smile: "It was indeed a wasted trip for Master Zhao."

"Oh, how can it be a waste? As long as Director Guo successfully completes his task, I'm also greatly benefitted."

"Master Zhao is indeed a good friend, a good brother of our Security Bureau. Since we need to report back, the drinks will have to wait."

"I'm always up for it." Zhao Wuji also bowed slightly.

He also hoped to maintain a good relationship with these nouveau riches.

Although in many people's eyes, he was also considered a nouveau riche.

Ministry of Finance.

Hanging up the phone, Sheng Jing's square face was covered in frost.

Those familiar with Sheng Jing know, though he usually doesn't smile or speak lightly, doing things seriously and diligently. He stays home most of the time, rarely being close with others.

Yet, he is most loving with his wife Mei Yuyin and indulges his daughter Sheng Xinhua exceedingly.

He doesn't have a son, only Sheng Xinhua, the only child.

He truly treasures her, fearing she'll break holding her in his hand, fearing she'll melt holding her in his mouth.

Noises concerning Sheng Xinhua often reached his ears, but he consistently ignored them, letting things be.
