“Young Master Han, as per your instructions, negotiations with City C had been going smoothly, but suddenly, there was an unexpected complication, and I’m afraid things have become quite difficult,” the visitor spoke, with a tone that betrayed the thorny nature of the problem.

Shen Han frowned, “What happened? What kind of complication?”

The other party hesitated for a moment before asking cautiously, “Young Master Han, is the woman you want to transfer someone else’s wife?”

“Nonsense!” Shen Han burst out in rage.

“But we’ve received a letter from there, saying that the person is a military spouse and our request has been denied.”

“What?!”

Shen Han thought he had heard wrong, but after the other side confirmed it with utmost seriousness, his face turned ashen in an instant.

For a long while, he still couldn’t quite believe it.

“Are you certain the person you’re after is Su Shu, and not mistaken with someone else?”

“Young Master Han, when it comes to tasks assigned by the elder of the Shen Family, none of us would dare to be negligent. We have cleared all junctions this time, yet the final procedure simply cannot be approved. After making several inquiries, we finally got a response stating that the person is about to become a military spouse, and our application was rejected prior to that,” he paused, feeling it necessary to clarify one thing.

“Right, there’s something important I think you should know. Young Master Han, the person you want to transfer, is she the daughter-in-law of the Tang Family from Province B?”

Shen Han’s complexion darkened visibly several shades once more.

“The Tang Family?” The words came out cold and sharp through clenched teeth.

Which Tang Family?

An unruly and defiant face flashed before Shen Han’s eyes.

With his brows cold and fierce, and his sharp jawline, the tightly pressed thin lips gave away his terribly bad mood.

The other person sighed internally. Sure enough! The Shen Family’s young master had chosen a hot potato for them to handle.

The messenger couldn’t help feeling a bit aggrieved as well. He had done many tasks for the Shen Family before, but none as frustrating as this one. His people were nearly uprooted by the other side; it was fortunate they withdrew quickly. Even the thought of discreetly transferring someone had become impossible now.

The Shen Family wielded no small influence, but the family on the other side was not weak either.

Moreover, in today’s world, the military’s influence was growing even stronger. The Shen Family in politics, the other side in the military; caught in this military-political tussle, they had a hard time running errands in between!

This errand was not easy to run.

They kept a tight watch over the person; their efforts to send someone in, openly or covertly, through two simultaneous approaches, had been in vain.

There are countless women in the world, especially now. As someone born into the esteemed Shen Family, Shen Han could find any kind of woman. Why did he have to set his sights on someone else’s wife?

“Young Master Han, this matter is not easy. We probably won’t be able to accomplish it. If you don’t want to give up, it would be best if the patriarch personally intervenes, notifying the other side to follow the official procedures, as it seems we may not succeed otherwise,” the visitor suggested.

Shen Han remained silent for a moment before speaking, “You just mentioned ‘about to become’ a military spouse?”

“Oh, yes.”

“Are you certain we can’t get the person back?”

“This… is somewhat difficult.” ‘Somewhat difficult’ was a gentle refusal.

“Can my people be sent in?”

“What do you mean, Young Master Han?”

“How confident are you?”

“City C is under lockdown now?!” The other party hinted at the difficulty of the task.

“How much resources do you need? I can double it.”

“This…” The other party was somewhat tempted.

Shen Han lit a cigarette and said coldly, “I do not wish for the Shen Family to know of my whereabouts.” That meant: if you want the benefits, keep your mouth shut.

“Young Master Han, without going through the Shen Family, do you really have access to that much… resources?”

“Up to you.”

The visitor hesitated for a long while but couldn’t resist the huge temptation, “Alright, I’ll help you make some inquiries, and see if it can be done. I’ll bring you a message in three days!”

“In three days, meet me outside the city on Tenth Street.”

“Understood.”

After the visitor left, Shen Han sat in the club until dawn. When he left,

he finally understood what the sharp pain he felt the moment he heard the news of Su Shu getting married truly meant.
