Chapter 571 Who is calling softly outside the door?

Since ancient times, the world has been bustling with people, all for the sake of profit, and the world has been bustling with people, all for the sake of profit.

No matter what kind of group it is, they must have common interests to come together.

Beggars on the street all know that they should stick together for warmth, form beggar gangs, divide their work areas, and drive away outside beggars so that everyone can have food to eat.

The same is true of the new rich who followed the president to success.

No matter whether your last name is Zhang or Li, you should have done it for the sake of appearance or for the sake of substance. You should have built bridges and roads or committed murder and arson...

To outsiders, there is no difference.

Therefore, some core interests must be maintained through everyone's joint efforts.

Bandits... No, it's the demons and evil spirits that are making too much noise, which is not good for anyone, so they must be eliminated, otherwise it will be necessary! If you make any dirty deals with the demons and evil spirits in private, everyone can pretend not to see it, but they will not help you, because only you will benefit, and no one else will benefit.

One must invest resources in cultivating his own children. A lifetime is but a few decades, how much money can one squander even if one eats a lot of meat and fish every day? Everyone works so hard, in addition to realizing their own life ideals, isn't it just to develop the family and continue the incense?

Therefore, no one could have imagined that the Shen family would do such a cruel thing. In order to survive for a while, they actually threw the life of the most outstanding third-generation heir of the family as a bargaining chip.

Shen Jianzhen did not sleep all night, he was waiting for a call.

He was supposed to receive three calls tonight, but until the sky in the east turned white, there was no sound from the phone on the table.

Seeing the clock on the wall pointing to six o'clock, his last bit of patience was finally exhausted.

If no one called back, it meant that all his arrangements had gone wrong, or even had developed into a situation that he could not accept.

Shen Jianzhen took a deep breath, picked up the phone and slowly dialed a number.

"Hello, this is the Emergency Department of the General Administration of Customs..."

"I am Shen Jianzhen."

The voice on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked, "Old Shen, why are you calling me?"

"I want to ask about the warehouse..."

"You don't know yet?"

"What should I know?"

The person on the other end of the phone asked in confusion: "I don't know the details, because there wasn't even a complete body at the scene. Didn't anyone in your family escape?"

With a bang, the receiver fell from Shen Jianzhen's hand under the table.

No one survived, no one escaped...

Qingxi...

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jianzhen stood up, took out a bottle of whiskey from the bookcase, poured himself half a glass and drank it in one gulp, forcing himself to calm down.

He picked up the phone again and dialed the second number.

This time, he waited for a long time.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe about a minute, before someone on the other end picked up the phone and a young woman’s voice came through.

"Hello, this is the private residence of the Grand Duke of Tartarus, but the Duke himself is not convenient to answer the phone right now. If there is anything more urgent, I can convey it on your behalf."

"I……"

Shen Jianzhen subconsciously said the word "I", then suddenly realized that something was wrong. He woke up in shock and closed his mouth tightly.

However, the other party had already recognized his voice: "Professor Shen, right? You called so early, did you not get enough rest last night?"

"Let me introduce myself to you. I am Liu Zhihan, the new chief of the Intelligence Section of the Tianmen City Special Service Bureau." Impossible...

Shen Jianzhen could not accept this fact.

How could the Secret Service find the location of Tartarus in just one night?
That old guy is like a thousand-year-old turtle in a mud pond, hiding deeper than anyone else.

Even Shen Jianzhen himself had never seen Tartarus' true form, and the phone number he was dialing now did not lead to any private residence.

A strong feeling of powerlessness came over me.

"I have good news and bad news for you."

The woman on the phone spoke calmly, but to Shen Jianzhen it sounded full of sarcasm.

"The good news is that since Tartarus has been brought to justice, the Secret Service will suspend its investigation into the Shen family. You don't have to worry anymore."

What do you mean I don't have to worry!
You use your net to pull up all the thousand-year-old turtles at the bottom of the pond, and then say to the crabs on the shore, "Don't be afraid, I won't eat you today"... then I don't have to worry about anything?

There is really no need to worry. There is no need to worry about the dead.

If this is good news, then...

"What's the bad news?"

Shen Jianzhen asked weakly.

"You are a well-educated university professor. I wonder if you have ever heard of the concept of fate inertia?"

"What do you mean?"

"It means that if we digitize the various factors that affect a person's fate and substitute them into these constant terms for calculation, we will always get results that are infinitely close at certain important points in fate."

"For example, if a person is not well taken care of when he is born, as the old saying goes, his foundation is damaged. Sooner or later, he will get a serious illness, maybe three years later, maybe five years later. This illness will come sooner or later."

"If Shen Qingxi, the third daughter of the Shen family, is destined to encounter a fatal disaster, then according to the principle of fate inertia, even Shen Qingxi in a parallel time and space will encounter a similar event."

"This is bound to happen. You can try to avoid it, fight it, or solve it, but you cannot ignore its objective existence."

"So, it doesn't mean that if you sacrifice one granddaughter, you can save the other one. Shen Qingxi will die, so Shen Qingxi will definitely die too."

"Of course this is just an academic discussion, not bad news for you."

"The really bad news is that you made the wrong choice. Just like Jesus Christ, he wanted to be the Messiah, but the Joshua people did not recognize this Messiah. Not only did they betray him, they also sent him to the cross."

"You thought you chose your real granddaughter, but you never thought about what you gave up."

What did I give up?
Shen Jianzhen looked confused.

He wanted to ask a few more questions, but the other party had already hung up the phone.

At the same time, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"grandfather……"

Shen Jianzhen was shocked. Of course he recognized the voice of the person outside the door.

But it's so familiar that it makes me shudder.

Shen Qingxi is dead, whether it is the real Shen Qingxi or the replica that suddenly appeared in his home.

So who is standing outside the door now?
