This coal mine was recently discovered by Lu Yuan and has not been made public at all. For safety reasons, the main gate is located nearby, so much so that birds and beasts within a hundred miles avoid it.

Shen Fuyue actually found out? Could there be a mole within the base?

wrong.

Normally, every base could have a mole, but it's impossible for Lu Yuan's base to be one of them.

Lu Yuan's mental strength has now reached 1800 points, and his perception ability is becoming stronger. In terms of biological detection, although he has not reached the level of mind reading, he can already clearly distinguish various emotions, including hostility.

If there's a mole, Lu Yuan certainly won't be able to hide it.

"I was careless."

After a moment's thought, Lu Yuan immediately came to a conclusion.

It's over at the mine!

To maintain secrecy, Lu Yuan did not purchase mining equipment. Instead, he instructed Lei Tieming to falsely report the losses at the energy-absorbing mine and have the equipment moved there directly.

The Shen family owns 60% of the energy-absorbing mine. Lu Yuan is only in charge of security. Most of the staff inside are from the Shen family. It must be that Lei Tieming slipped up and they discovered him by following the clues.

Lu Yuan sighed inwardly. It wasn't Lei Tieming's fault; he was just a martial artist, and he wasn't professional enough for this kind of thing.

"I've figured it out."

Seeing Lu Yuan's expression, Shen Fuyue smiled and continued.

"Actually, I'm doing this for your own good. You're not even thirty yet, your career is just starting out, and you already own two mines. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

"If I can't control it, I'll just throw it away."

Lu Yuan snorted coldly. He had no choice but to accept the energy-absorbing mine back then, but now that he has the strength, he thinks he can take a share of the pie from him? Don't even think about it.

"You... you eat alone, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Lu Yuan's stubborn and unyielding attitude, Shen Fuyue couldn't help but shake his head, wondering how his precious daughter had found such a person.

"Alright, let's not talk about the base anymore."

"Yeah, let's talk about something else."

"Tell me when you and Mengmeng will have your wedding."

"Well……"

Lu Yuangang picked up the teapot, intending to pour himself another cup, but his hand involuntarily froze in mid-air.

Shen Fuyue glanced at Lu Yuan out of the corner of his eye, snorted, and said directly.

"I had planned before that you would break through to the Warrior level, so you would be a decent match for Mengmeng and it would look better when we got married. Now that you're a five-star Warrior, we can't delay any longer."

"Um?"

Lu Yuan's eyes widened slightly. How did Old Deng know he was a five-star?

Before leaving the city, Lu Yuan was only a four-star warrior. In fact, he did not neglect his cultivation during this year. With the help of various medicines, he naturally condensed his fifth star core.

But he didn't reveal this to anyone, not even his head butler, Xia Banzhu!

If that's the case, how could Shen Fuyue know? Does he have the ability to foresee the future?

Or perhaps, as a grandmaster, he possesses some special ability that allows him to see through others' cultivation levels.

Shen Fuyue smiled, holding his teacup with an inscrutable expression.

Lu Yuan put down the teapot and sighed inwardly with a sense of helplessness. Some things just can't be put off.

He and Shen Humeng were destined to either marry or refuse each other.

But putting aside his relationship with the Shen family for now, just considering how much Shen Fuyue has helped him and how much favor he has shown, how could he possibly refuse this marriage and make the Shen family a laughing stock in the whole of Chongming?

Speaking of which, the child is already a year old. For some reason, Lu Yuan's mind keeps replaying the little guy's smiling face and the way he holds his finger.

He became the one who took over the burden!

"It's entirely up to my father-in-law to decide."

"Haha, good, that's my good son-in-law."

Seeing Lu Yuan nod, Shen Fuyue laughed with satisfaction, his smile carrying a hint of triumphant satisfaction at his successful scheme.

In fact, his purpose in talking to Lu Yuan this time was not about the base or the mine, but rather that of an old father concerned about his daughter's marriage!

By using a feint and a diversionary tactic, we finally got it done.

It has to be said, experience is the best teacher.

"Well then, you still have a lot of things to take care of here. Let's tentatively schedule it for the end of the year, by which time it should be mostly done."

"it is good."

It's August now, which means there are less than five months left.

Now that the decision has been made, there's nothing to hesitate about.

"master."

The matter had been mostly settled when the butler came in.

"The people from the guild hall have arrived."

"Let them go back."

Shen Fuyue remained expressionless and said indifferently.

"My son-in-law just got back; even if something serious has happened, he needs to rest for the night."

"Yes."

The butler acknowledged and left.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile. Sure enough, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. With Shen Fuyue supporting him, many things would be much easier to handle.

Of course, there are some things that he still has to solve.

"Let's go see your son."

After finishing his tea, Shen Fuyue stood up.

Lu Yuan was taken aback, and for some reason suddenly felt a little nervous.

Then it dawned on him that Shen Humeng and her son were not found at the fourth house.

"Could it be...?"

Lu Yuan's eyes widened slightly. It's been a year already, could it be that Shen Humeng's body hasn't recovered yet?

Or perhaps something is wrong with the child.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's face immediately darkened.

"What nonsense are you thinking? They're staying with Bingbing."

"Huh? Oh! Right."

Lu Yuan was taken aback, then let out a long sigh.

Yes, Shen Humeng is from the fourth branch of the family, and after Lu Yuan came into the picture, the fourth branch is no longer the little nobody it used to be.

But Shen Humeng was raised in the eldest son's family since she was a child and has always lived there.

She and Lu Yuan weren't married yet, and Lu Yuan didn't live in the Shen family home, so the fourth branch was practically empty. Besides, the first branch had enough rooms, so there was really no need for her and her son to move back.

The two then got up and went straight to the lakeside villa of the main house.

"Don't run! Slow down!"

As soon as I entered, I heard a gentle call.

Then came a string of silvery laughter, and a delicately sculpted little one, with two chubby little legs and two little arms raised, wobbled and ran towards the door.

"Ya ya~ ya ya~"

Upon seeing Shen Fuyue, the little guy became even happier, babbling and running over.

"Oh, my darling!"

Shen Fuyue, who was usually serious in front of outsiders, instantly became all smiles and bent down to pick up the little guy.

She pouted and kept rubbing her lips against the little guy's delicate face, while the little guy with the prickly beard waved his little hands and giggled.

"So cute."

Lu Yuan stood to the side, his face full of envy.

"Ah~! Ahhh~"

Only then did the little guy notice Lu Yuan beside him. He blinked, then suddenly started babbling and stretched out his little arms, trying his best to reach for Lu Yuan.

This is……

Lu Yuan opened his eyes wide and subconsciously reached out his hand.

"Damn it! I hug him every day, but he immediately abandons me when he sees his real father. He's still the father after all."

Shen Fuyue stared wide-eyed, reluctantly handing the little guy to Lu Yuan.

"Ahhh~ giggle~"

As soon as he was in Lu Yuan's arms, the little guy excitedly waved his arms and legs and made loud noises.

Lu Yuan held the little one tightly, as if he were holding a rare treasure as tender as tofu, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.

"Sweetie, slow down."

At that moment, with a soft call, Shen Humeng and Shen Qiubing ran over.

When they saw Lu Yuan standing there, holding the little one, the two of them were immediately stunned.

"Mommy~"

Upon seeing Shen Humeng, the little guy excitedly stretched out his little hands, and then turned to Lu Yuan.

"Daddy~"
