Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 799: Who Exactly Is Mother?

Upon seeing Su Chen and Su Jin approaching, Shen Mingchang and his group of four, including the elderly woman and the old man in the sackcloth shirt, all wore faces of indifference.

However, the couple Zheng Qiusheng and the Situ elders, including Su Yuan, all showed expressions of fear!

They all knew what they would face next; the reason they came today was that the elders had made the stakes and consequences clear to them yesterday.

They would die so that the family could survive!

If they thought of escaping, they would never succeed. Not only would they die, but their sons and daughters would meet the same fate!

So they had no choice but to come today...

Although they had arrived, they lacked the resolve and dignity of the elders!

They felt they hadn't lived long enough yet!

So when they saw Su Chen, they couldn't help but start trembling!

Su Chen, however, paid no attention to their reactions, instead fixing his gaze on Shen Mingchang and his group.

To him, these people were not worthy of pity; everyone must be held responsible for their actions!

"Aunt, is there anything you want to ask?"

Su Chen asked Su Jin.

"I want to know the truth of what happened back then!"

Su Jin looked at these people. Although her face was calm, her heart was raging like a storm.

Her dazzling and outstanding elder brother, along with his kind-hearted wife, had died at the hands of these people. How could she not harbor hatred in her heart?

Oddly enough, although Su Jin had affection for her father, what she found hardest to accept after the incident was the death of her half-brother from the same father!

For her, that truly was a pain that pierced her heart!

"At this point, there's nothing left to hide,"

Shen Mingchang said calmly, looking at the two.

Then he started recounting the events of that year while kneeling before Su Yi's tombstone. His narrative closely matched what Qin Ming had told Su Chen, including the details Su Chen had speculated.

The motives of these people were also easy to understand.

Shen Mingchang's aim was for the Shen Family to become the number one clan. Su Chun aspired to be the Su Family Head. The Zheng Family and the Situ Family wanted their share of the spoils, and none of them wanted to see an overly powerful Su Family.

After hearing all this, Su Jin couldn't help but shed tears.

Interests! In the end, it all boiled down to interests!

"Well, do you have anything else you want to say?"

Su Chen asked indifferently.

"Su Chen, may I have a word with you in private?"

Shen Mingchang asked, looking at Su Chen.

Su Chen and Su Jin exchanged a glance, both seemingly understanding the request.

"Alright,"

Su Chen nodded and then walked to one side.

Shen Mingchang also stood up and walked towards Su Chen.

The others were somewhat puzzled about what Shen Mingchang wanted to discuss with Su Chen at this time.

"Su Chen, even though today has come to this, I do not regret the things I've done,"

Shen Mingchang said indifferently to Su Chen:

"As the Family Head of the Shen Family, I must prioritize the interests of the clan. Even if I could do it all over again, I would make the same choices."

Su Chen didn't say anything, but he did believe what he said; Shen Mingchang was indeed a man with the bearing of a hegemon!

Shen Lin and Shen Shao might also consider themselves great, but in Su Chen's eyes, they really couldn't compare to Shen Mingchang!

"Actually, my relationship with your grandfather was one of the best among the older generation,"

Shen Mingchang said with a tinge of nostalgia:

"If I weren't in this position, I could even trade lives with your grandfather! Do you believe that?"

"It's no longer important. What you want to tell me isn't just that, is it?"

Su Chen said indifferently, then glanced at him:

"What I am more interested in hearing is about the Shengyi Gate!"

"You know?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Mingchang's body suddenly shook!

"Certainly, I don't know as much as you do."

Su Chen did not hide it, directly looking at Shen Mingchang as he spoke.

"Indeed, the incident that I planned back then started when Shengyi Gate suddenly approached us."

Shen Mingchang recalled and said:

"Before that, I had never entertained such thoughts. Even the medicine I gave to your grandfather was supplied by them, which I handed over to Su Chun. The hospital was never able to detect the real cause of death."

"Why did they want to do this?"

Su Chen asked, staring intently at Shen Mingchang. It was a question he had yet to understand.

He knew the motives of Shen Mingchang and the others, but what exactly was the purpose of Shengyi Gate?

"Although they did not explicitly say, I felt as if they were targeting your mother, as if they held a significant grudge against her!"

Shen Mingchang pondered before speaking:

"As for the reason, I don't know."

Su Chen frowned immediately upon hearing this. What exactly was his mother's relationship with Shengyi Gate?

Unexpectedly, the old Master Pei's conjecture turned out to be true; the incident back then really did involve his mother!

If Shen Mingchang was not lying to him, then how could his mother be involved with the so-called Shengyi Gate?

Who exactly was his mother?

"Of course, they may have had other motives, but that's what I don't know,"

said Shen Mingchang.

"What exactly is this Shengyi Gate?"

asked Su Chen. Up to now, he remained completely in the dark about Shengyi Gate.

"I don't know, but they are extremely powerful and very secretive! The person they sent to discuss with me claimed to be from the Meridian Expansion Realm!"

Shen Mingchang shook his head:

"It was precisely because they were so powerful that I agreed to their terms. Of course, I won't deny that the arrangement also aligned with the interests of the Shen Family!"

Su Chen, in fact, knew that Shen Mingchang had not completely told the truth, such as the benefits that Shengyi Gate had promised to the Shen Family which he had omitted.

After all, Shengyi Gate had not exerted much effort in the matter, aside from providing some medicines that albeit played a significant role in the whole affair.

Given this, why would Shen Mingchang listen to them?

Out of fear of Shengyi Gate's retribution? Clearly not a viable reason.

That Shengyi Gate wanted to leverage the Shen Family for their plans was without a doubt because they had reservations, and it was very possible that those reservations concerned Hidden Dragon Hall!

After all, if they had taken direct action against the Su Family, Hidden Dragon Hall would not have remained indifferent!

Similarly, if they made a move against the Shen Family, Hidden Dragon Hall would not have ignored that either!

However, the details that Shen Mingchang hid were no longer important to Su Chen.

What he desired most was the truth of what happened back then and for those responsible to pay the price for this truth!

That was enough!

"All right, regardless, thank you for voluntarily telling me all this."

Su Chen said indifferently. Although he would have asked even if Shen Mingchang had remained silent, his initiative still signified a certain gesture!

After all, Shen Mingchang did not know that Su Chen was already aware of the existence of Shengyi Gate!
