I've become Erlang Shen, only now I'm mysteriously resurrected.

Chapter 51: A Big Secret, a Shocking Big Secret!

"He also has... an official position, he is..."

Before Shen Wenjing could finish speaking, a woman's voice suddenly interrupted from the other end of the phone.

The voice was cold and harsh, carrying an unquestionable severity.

"You are not allowed to contact the outside world, and you cannot say a word about what happens here."

"Especially those concerning southern Jiangsu."

As soon as he finished speaking, a "click" sound came from the receiver, and the call was disconnected.

Only the beeping busy tone remained, exceptionally clear in the quiet hall.

"Daughter, what is he?"

"He hasn't finished speaking yet! You're driving me crazy!"

Yu Mei had already reached the phone and was listening intently, waiting for what would happen next. But the call ended abruptly, leaving her feeling incredibly restless.

And speaking of which,

the other side.

Shen Tianfu was stunned for a moment, then reached out and pressed his phone; the screen was black.

The woman's voice that last appeared on the phone exuded an air of authority, even through the phone. Most importantly...

When she pronounced the words "Southern Jiangsu",

The undisguised reverence in his tone pierced the ears of Shen Tianfu and his son Shen Guoli like needles.

Both of them had worked in a company.

Therefore, their minds are sharper than Yu Mei's.

In particular, Shen Tianfu had been working in the village committee for over ten years.

He was extremely perceptive and adept at reading people's expressions and tones of voice; he understood these tones all too well.

Only subordinates would be so cautious when facing their absolute superior.

And with a tone of utter reverence.

Countless images flashed through his mind in an instant: the town's Party Secretary, leading a group of cadres to report to the county head, each one bowing like a shrimp.

He spoke with a forced smile, his tone exactly the same as the woman from before.

if……

If Su Nan really is that woman's superior...

"Whoosh!!"

Thinking of this, Shen Tianfu's breathing became heavy.

Considering the current situation of her daughter, Shen Wenjing,

They should still be in that building, still surrounded by city police.

In this situation, he was still able to appear beside her daughter.

Furthermore, her ability to move freely speaks volumes about her identity and status.

When contacted again by this phone call,

It's highly likely that the daughter secretly returned to deliver the message without telling anyone.

She must have discovered a very important secret.

This secret, however, had to be told to his father.

That's why they took the risk and avoided everyone.

Without hesitation, I dialed the number.

After all, he, as a father, knew his daughter's thoughts very well.

He can declare that he would rather shorten his lifespan by twenty years than not live the life of a rich person.

With such initial intentions and pursuits, Shen Wenjing would never have made a slip of the tongue without reason.

At last,

Then there's the air of authority in her voice.

The three conditions and various clues are linked together.

Su Nan's identity is most likely genuine.

As his daughter explained, he had an official background.

Moreover, its background and status are those of an unapproachable behemoth.

Then this marriage absolutely cannot be called off!

This arranged marriage absolutely cannot be called off!

This marriage was indeed a great opportunity, not just for the daughter.

It was also a great opportunity for him, a man obsessed with officialdom.

If Su Nan became their son-in-law

His real father-in-law,

Isn't that just casually helping out?

That would allow his buttocks to be moved up from their current position at the village committee office.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"

At this moment, Shen Tianfu's breathing was like that of a blower, thick and emitting white vapor.

It looks like a bull's nose.

He seemed to see himself standing in the town government building, wearing a suit and with the national emblem pinned to his chest.

The town's business owners surrounded him, offering him cigarettes and smiling obsequiously, addressing him as "Director" and "Mayor."

When people in the village saw him, they would bow and greet him from a distance.

His biggest wish in life was to climb the social ladder.

Unfortunately, he lacked connections and influence, and it took him almost fifty years to finally secure a position on the village committee.

I thought this was how my life would be.

did not expect,

Unexpectedly,

Surprisingly, things took an unexpected turn for the better.

"..."

Shen Tianfu licked his chapped lips, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

"Pfft"

A soft laugh broke the silence of the hall.

Jianping's mother threw the orange peel in her hand into the trash can and patted the orange pith off her hands.

"Wenjing, are you out of your mind this time? An official position? I watched that kid Su Nan grow up. His family was dirt poor. His dad was a farmer, and his mom was a regular at the pharmacy. What kind of official could he be? Maybe someone held a knife to his throat and forced him to talk nonsense?"

Jianping's mother said with a disdainful look.

Especially her son, who is about to become a high-ranking official and gain power.

Now suddenly someone has appeared who is on par with her son.

How could she possibly believe that?

Besides, her son is still in the military.

And what about southern Jiangsu?

They should still be at school at this time.

A comparison of the two, and a little thought, will lead to the answer.

So he's either terrified or gone mad.

"Pooh!"

"bite"

On the other side, Wen Xiulian also laughed out loud, spitting the melon seed shells into the iron basin with a clinking sound.

She's used to being privileged.

They never took Su Nan's family seriously. Their own son, Shen Yuqi, drove a Mercedes-Benz and owned a cement factory. They were the real elites. Su Nan, that poor boy, wasn't even worthy of carrying his son's shoes.

Now, with just one phone call from Shen Wenjing, she's saying her son is inferior to Su Nan? How could she possibly believe that?

"Hehe, Yumei, I think Jianping's mother is right. Don't take it seriously. Wenjing is still a child. She hasn't seen much of the world. She panics when something happens and talks nonsense."

Wen Xiulian raised an eyebrow at Yu Mei and said.

"If someone from southern Jiangsu becomes an official, the sun will rise in the west."

Wen Xiulian grabbed another handful of melon seeds, cracked them open in her mouth, and said with a smile.

But as she smiled, she noticed that Yu Mei made no move; she neither spoke nor agreed.

He simply held his enamel teacup, sipping his tea slowly, his gaze drifting out the window, seemingly lost in thought.

"Yu Mei, you don't actually believe that, do you? You believe that Su Nan is an official?"

Wen Xiulian frowned and asked.

"..."

Yu Mei put down her teacup. She neither nodded nor shook her head, but simply looked at her husband.

"Brother Tianfu, you didn't believe that too, did you?"

Seeing that she had run into a snag with Yu Mei, Wen Xiulian looked at Shen Tianfu and asked with a pout.

"..."

Shen Tianfu didn't say anything either. He tapped his fingers on the table slowly and rhythmically, his eyes deep and troubled.

"You actually believe such a naive argument? Ha!"

"Heh, if it's your daughter Jiang Cheng who has found someone better, then just say so. Don't make up so many lies. Don't forget that it was your Yu Mei family that came to us!" Wen Xiulian said angrily.

Shen Tianfu quickly comforted her, and then asked Yu Mei to calm Wen Xiulian down while he went to the backyard to call Shen Wenjing.

First call, no answer!

Second attempt, no response!

……

The call went unanswered for the fifteenth time, but Shen Tianfu was not discouraged; he believed the call would eventually go through.

Only by hearing his daughter's explanation in person can he make a complete decision.

After all, when it comes to marriage, one should consider one's superiors rather than one's inferiors!

Saying.

The county compound, eighty kilometers away.

It was exactly 23:30 PM.

The streetlights cast a dim yellow glow on the empty courtyard.

Several security guards were yawning on the table, nodding their heads. A cell phone on the table was playing an updated chapter of a novel about Erlang Shen.

Suddenly, a huge roar came from afar, growing louder and louder, like thunder, making the windowpanes vibrate.

The security guards suddenly looked up, their sleepiness vanishing instantly.

What was that sound?

"I don't know, it sounds like an airplane."

Two of them grabbed rubber sticks from the table and used them to prop themselves up at the doorway.

Looking up, I saw a black helicopter hovering above the courtyard.

The traffic lights flashed red and green, glaringly bright in the darkness.

The propeller spun at high speed, creating a huge gust of wind.

Grass clippings and dust on the ground were swirled up and flew everywhere.
