After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 120 The Simple-minded Shen Xiujue

One day, Shen Xiuyu finally received another letter from Shen Xiuyan. As he excitedly opened the envelope and carefully read its contents, his expression gradually turned serious.

The letter revealed Shen Xiuyan's concern for him, and he emphasized that Shen must have a bodyguard with him at all times.

He was also told that his younger sister had also been assigned guards to protect her, and his nephews had also been assigned guards to ensure their safety.

And he was told that not all of those guards were assigned to him; some were also given to his nephews, and he shouldn't overthink it.

Shen Xiuyu held the letter, his brows furrowed, and muttered to himself, "Why is my elder brother arranging so many guards so solemnly? Could it be that something really important has happened at home?"

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths, sending so many guards from so far away.

Thinking of this, he could no longer suppress his anxiety and worry, and immediately picked up his pen to write another reply to Shen Xiuyan.

In the letter, he asked Shen Xiuyan what had happened at home. If his elder brother refused to tell him, he threatened to go to great lengths to bring the children home himself.

Meanwhile, Shen Xiuyan, who was far away on the other side, was quite frightened when he received the letter of questioning from Shen Xiuyu.

He knew that although his younger brother was simple-minded, he was stubborn. If his silly brother decided to go home in a fit of pique, he would definitely bring the child back, which would not do.

So he hurriedly wrote another letter back to Shen Xiuyu.

In the letter, Shen Xiuyan anxiously instructed, "Fourth brother, you must not come back anytime soon, especially not with the children!"

The reasons are a bit complicated and I can't explain them to you in a short time, but please believe me, I will handle everything properly, and then you can take the children home.

In addition, whether you are going out alone or with children, please remember to bring security personnel with you to ensure your safety and that of your children.

Besides, everyone in our family is now protected by guards, so you don't need to worry too much about it, and you shouldn't even think about going home.

At this moment, Shen Zhiyu frowned, his face full of worry, wondering whether he should write to his elder brother again to ask what good thing had happened at home.

Just as he was hesitating, there was a sudden, urgent knock on the door. When the door opened, a close friend he knew well rushed in.

The man, named Qin Shousheng, was surprised to see Shen Zhiyu's worried expression and quickly asked, "Xiuyu, what's wrong? You look so gloomy, has something bothered you?"

Shen Zhiyu sighed and said worriedly, "Alas! Brother Sheng, I'm afraid something terrible has happened to my family!"

Qin Shousheng was taken aback upon hearing this, his eyes widening in surprise as he exclaimed, "What? Is your family out of money? Or has someone in your family been arrested?"

Holy crap, can I really be this unlucky?

Some time ago, he finally found someone who was simple-minded but very rich.

She had gone to great lengths to get close to him and build a relationship. But who would have thought that at this crucial moment, something would suddenly happen to his family!

Good heavens, is this some kind of joke?! He was about to make a fortune, how could he let things fall apart at this crucial moment?

Shen Zhiyu shook his head, explaining urgently, "No, no, you have no idea what's going on. My mother was worried about my safety, so she specially arranged for me to have many guards."

Even my older brother repeatedly warned me to be extra careful, but when I asked them what had happened at home, they wouldn't tell me! Oh dear, how could I not be worried?

At this point, Shen Zhiyu's face was full of helplessness and anxiety. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he looked expectantly at Qin Shousheng in front of him, pouting as he said:

"Oh dear! How could I forget about you? Brother Sheng, you have such a wide network of connections and know so many people, especially in Beijing. You must have some connections with them, right? Why don't you do me the trouble of secretly inquiring about them for me?"

However, at this moment, when he looked at Shen Zhiyu's expectant eyes, Qin Shousheng's heart tightened, his eyes involuntarily darted away, and even a hint of guilt flashed across his face.

In reality, he had no ability to make connections with influential figures in the capital. He simply relied on his words to boast and exaggerate his abilities, making himself seem all-powerful and influential in front of others.

The most powerful and influential person he knew was this simpleton from the capital standing before him... He didn't have any connections whatsoever, and only this guy was trustworthy.

To put it bluntly, he was just an unknown thug. Although he had a few underlings, he only had the air of a "big brother" in this small area.

Once he leaves this familiar area, he is nothing, utterly useless!

The reason he was able to put on such a show in front of Shen Zhiyu was simply because he knew that this young master of the Shen family was "naive" and easily trusted others, and he wanted to take the opportunity to swindle him out of his money one last time.

Especially someone like Shen Zhiyu, who is well-protected by his family and is naive and innocent, is naturally the easiest target for him to deceive.

Of course, he would never say such a thing. Instead, he looked troubled and mumbled something under his breath:

"I'm afraid this isn't appropriate! This is ultimately your family matter; I'm just an outsider, how can I meddle like this..."

"What if your family finds out and gets angry with you? Besides, there are some things that outsiders shouldn't know."

"Brother Sheng, I really don't know anyone in this area, so I can only ask you for help! If even you are not willing to help me, I really don't know who else I can ask for help."

"Don't worry, as for the expenses of your men's daily operations, I absolutely guarantee that not a single penny will be lacking."

Upon hearing the words "activity funds," Qin Shousheng, who had been looking worried, suddenly had a bright light in his eyes.

However, he still tried his best to control the corners of his mouth that were about to turn up to his ears, and pretended to be quite reluctant, but finally nodded and agreed to Shen Xiujue's request.

Now, let's talk about Shen Xiujue. He's such a simple-minded fool! When he heard Qin Shousheng readily agree, he immediately grinned like an idiot and happily invited him to the luxurious and grand restaurant in the city.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, Shen Xiujue waved his hand and ordered an incredibly lavish meal. Qin Shousheng was overjoyed. The young master really spent money like water. No wonder he had his eye on him!

Meanwhile, Qin Shousheng's gang of underlings, having heard his boasting upon his return and Shen Xiujue's reaction, could no longer contain their elation and burst into laughter.

This group of people felt no embarrassment whatsoever for taking advantage of others; on the contrary, they admired their leader, Qin Shousheng, to the point of worship.

Look how capable our eldest brother is! He easily caught such a big "fat sheep" and we're hoping he'll fleece them a few more times so they can get a bigger share of the money!

To be honest, in other people's eyes, Shen Xiujue was indeed a fat and strong "big sheep".

First of all, the Marquis's mansion would allocate him a considerable monthly allowance from the public account.

Secondly, in addition to this fixed income, he also frequently received several other payments. For example, his elder brothers, Shen Xiuyan and Shen Xiujin, would often slip him some money to spend.

Furthermore, there is his mother, Jiang Mianmian, who not only inherited the entire Marquis's mansion's vast wealth, but also has a dowry that is so generous that it makes people envious.

Therefore, Shen Xiujue never hesitates to spend money; he truly has no worries about money at all. Not only that, he also receives some financial assistance from his older brother, Gu Yunchen.

Even his own younger sister would occasionally secretly give him a little money, just so he would take good care of his nephews.

In short, when it comes to money, Shen Xiujue could have whatever he wanted, and he lived a very carefree and happy life!

As a result, Shen Xiujue, who had lived a privileged life since childhood and never lacked money, had no clear understanding or concept of money.

He spends money as lavishly as a sieve with a hole in the bottom; he loves to spend money on whoever he's on good terms with. As a result, everyone who knows him is familiar with his reputation as a "sucker."

The reason he became Qin Shousheng's "easy target" was actually due to the secret matchmaking by one of Shen Xiujue's so-called "good friends." They even staged a meticulously planned "honey trap" scam specifically for him.

However, the simple-minded Shen Xiujue was completely unaware of this, and happily believed that Qin Shousheng was his savior, after all, it was Qin Shousheng who stepped forward to "save" him.

At that moment, Qin Shousheng had become like an "older brother" to Shen Xiujue; he was his savior!

As for his elder brother Gu Yunchen, who was actually related to him by blood, he had long forgotten about him.

The reason for this was simply that he felt his elder brother was not as generous as Shen Xiuyan and Shen Xiujin when it came to giving money.

Besides, the two brothers didn't have much of a relationship to begin with. It was already good enough that he could call him "brother," so there was no point in overthinking it.

Gu Yunchen: "..."

Hmm? There's really nothing to say, I'm not close to you.

Shen Xiuyan said angrily: "This brainless idiot, can we beat him to death?"

Jiang Mianmian: I wholeheartedly agree. For her right now, whether it's biological or health preservation, none of these things are as important as her life.
