Chapter 482
"Who knows," said Shen Xinyue.
"I just helped you out, and now you're playing games with me?"
"I'm not playing games with you, I really don't know. I just know something else about him that I find very interesting."
"What?"
"Do not get mad at me for saying this, but your future brother-in-law... or should I say your future little boyfriend, he has a lover, and the person has an extremely powerful background, at least stronger than mine."
Xia Xuexu was taken aback, surprised, "What?"
Shen Mochen has a lover? And they're even stronger than Shen Xinyue? Shen Xinyue is the legitimate daughter of the Shen Family in Capital City. Although she's not in the top three for inheritance, she can still be considered a top-tier missy; even among the misses of the Beijing Circle, she would rank in the top ten. Who could be so powerful to receive such an evaluation from her?
"The person... could it be a Roman?" Xia Xuexu suddenly thought of the cross on Shen Mochen's neck.
"That's your own guess, not something I said," Shen Xinyue said with a smile, "At that party, he was so handsome that it was a complete mess. If I were that princess, I'd be captivated too! I'd give up everything and run away with him to the ends of the earth!"
The more Xia Xuexu listened, the more confused she became, but she knew that since Shen Xinyue had said so, the specifics were probably not something she could be told.
"So it really is the miss of Roman..." Xia Xuexu bit her lip. Did Qingrou know about this?
"Let me reveal something else to you. Your sister won't be able to tame her, and I'm afraid you won't be able to either. I do not mean to disrespect you, but all his files from Buque have been archived and classified as top-secret... and just now, I learned that all his records in this world have been locked up."
"What does that mean..."
"It means that he holds an incredibly important secret, or perhaps, he's involved in something exceedingly important to the nation. Buque has already mobilized all its power to protect him."
"Could it be that he really is the long-lost son of your Shen Family..."
"I have no idea. He did leave his identity samples when he entered Buque, but as I just said, all his information has been locked, and no one can see it, at least I can't either. My old man might know something, but with the background as deep as it looks, since I'm not allowed to know, then he definitely won't take the initiative to tell me. Although Shen Mochen bears the Shen surname, he's an orphan; it's not even sure if Shen is truly his last name. With his celestial appearance, there's no way he could have been born in the slums... and even if he is a son of my Shen Family, he wouldn't be entitled to such treatment."
Xia Xuexu's eyes were sharp, "Could his secret have something to do with his superpower?"
Shen Mochen had saved her, but a normal male Superpower User shouldn't have such formidable offensive capabilities.
"Perhaps, who am I to know such things? Buque is like an iron fortress, with everyone tightly connected and clustered together, almost like an independent kingdom. Even the Shen Family can't interfere... If it weren't for the special circumstances recently, the higher-ups would have started to reform Buque a long time ago."
"I don't quite understand, how could an abandoned child have such a big issue... If there really is such a large issue, why would they place him in an ordinary Buque team... Ah, could it be that Qingrou and the others also have big issues?"
"Uh, you're thinking too much, at least the information on the other members of team 0819 is still easy to find... Wow, fairy after fairy, none of them are below you in status. If it's not a coincidence, then it's even more terrifying..."
Xia Xuexu muttered, "Like a harem prepared for him by someone else?"
Shen Xinyue coughed twice and said, "That might be the case, but it's probably just a coincidence... Anyway, I do hope he is one of the Shen Family; even though he has caused some trouble, it would be nothing compared to his other value."
"Alright then, I have nothing else, I'm going to hang up. This is too much information; I need to process it."
"Actually, you better let your sister tighten up her efforts, or you can take action yourself... If he is a future king, then you guys could at least get a top-ranking princess position!"
Shen Xinyi joked.
Xia Xuexu hung up the phone with a complicated look in her eyes. She pondered over Shen Mochen's every word and deed, and if he really possessed great supernatural powers, then he was being far too modest and unassuming!
In fact, she had wanted to leave when she was notified to transfer this morning, but she had just received a text message from Xia Qingrou reminding her that Shen Mochen would soon arrive at the hotel.
She thought about how Shen Xinyue had once asked her to observe Shen Mochen's character, so she intentionally stayed behind to see his reaction... although encountering a monster was an unexpected event.
Shen Xinyue was someone Xia Xuexu met while studying abroad in Roman, and despite the disparities in their family backgrounds, they still became the best of friends. She was well aware of the Shen Family's influence in Yupi and was even more curious about what kind of man could catch Shen Xinyue's eye.
Now she roughly understood—a man with an unfathomable background.
However, when she thought back to the tranquility she felt when he held her in his arms and how the morning sun gently caressed his exceptionally handsome face... it was indeed a radiance that shone brightly on a single person.
If the best man in the world had already appeared, then what was she hesitating for?
"Qingrou, the waters here are too deep for you to grasp..." Xia Xuexu murmured with a light sigh.
...
"That's right, these are the items, thank you so much."
In the police station, Shen Mochen received his belongings and politely thanked the officers one by one.
"Ha-ha, you're too polite... By the way, the person who found your items is still here in the station, they said they wanted to take a photo with you..."
"Oh, of course, that's no problem at all, I would like to thank them in person!"
Shen Mochen smiled slightly, causing even the men to be momentarily dazzled.
Leaving the police station, Shen Mochen called to Xia Qingrou, who was sitting at the entrance, to leave with him.
"Let's find a place to fix these items first and later, let's have dinner together before going back."
Shen Mochen was holding a bag, inside of which were broken items like a cross.
"Let's just fix the items and go back, I don't want to have dinner with you!" Xia Qingrou snorted coldly, "After dinner, are you going to say it's too late and we should stay in a hotel for the night, and return tomorrow?"
"Am I that kind of person?" Shen Mochen retorted angrily, "Wouldn't that be cheating?"
"You, of all people, talk about morals in this situation..."
"I've always had a strong sense of morality, and I don't want to cheat... but you can..." Shen Mochen coughed.
"What do you mean?"
"After we have dinner, you say it's too late to go back, so we get a hotel for the night. Then you take advantage of my unawareness, pin me down, and ravage me mercilessly. Despite my desperate resistance, I can't escape your clutches and can only weep as you spoil me!"
Xia Qingrou felt a flicker of temptation but then quickly snapped back to reality, kicking the grinning Shen Mochen, "Get lost, am I that kind of person? Too scared to sleep with me, hypocrite!"
Shen Mochen dodged with a laugh, but suddenly, his phone rang.
"Teacher Xun?"
Shen Mochen checked the caller ID, which was from his homeroom teacher at First Middle School.
