"Little trash."
Hearing her swear involuntarily, the man's eyes were full of indulgence. "Well, you're right."
The banquet was about to end. Old Man He, Dean Yu, and Old Man Nian finally managed to squeeze over to her.
Shen Siyan watched the people surrounding his wife and felt a bit annoyed. But he couldn't just drive these people away like he did with others. He pressed his tongue against his lower jaw, his eyes showing a hidden glint.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Shen here?" Just as they were talking, a large group of policemen walked in and asked.
The one leading them was actually the current commander!
"Oh my god! Even Commander Pan came to celebrate the birthday of the old master of the Shen family. How powerful is their background?"
"The Shen family truly deserves to be the number - one aristocratic family. They're amazing!"
"It seems we have to maintain a good relationship with the Shen family from now on."
"..."
Compliments came one after another. The second uncle's family of the Shen clan was full of pride.
"I'm here. May I ask what's the matter?"
"I..." Commander Pan was about to say something when his gaze suddenly swept over to the two people sitting in the corner. When he clearly saw the man beside Shi Wan, his eyes widened. He stammered for a while, too shocked to say a word.
That person... How could he be here?
"Commander Pan?" Before Mr. Shen could finish his words, he saw the commander rushing towards the corner where Shen Siyan and Shi Wan were sitting. He was startled and quickly followed. Could it be that the two of them had offended the commander? If so, no matter what, he had to protect them!
"Sir..." As soon as Commander Pan opened his mouth, he was forced back by the man's cold gaze. He then turned to Shi Wan and tried to speak in a calm tone.
"Miss Shi Wan."
Shi Wan didn't miss Commander Pan's attitude towards Shen Siyan just now, but they didn't seem to know each other.
"Commander Pan, may I ask what you need?"
Before Shi Wan could say anything, Mr. Shen stepped in front of them with a serious face. Then, Old Man Nian, Old Man He, President Yu, and the Yu family all stood in front of them, surrounding them tightly.
Commander Pan: "..." He wasn't a bandit.
"Grandpa, could it be that Shi Wan and Shen Siyan have done something? It seems to be a big deal, since even Commander Pan has been mobilized." Shen Jiao guessed. Her tone already assumed that the two had committed a crime. She was so excited that it was almost written all over her face.
Everyone else guessed the same way, but they didn't dare to say it out loud in front of them. They didn't expect that the Shen family member would say it herself. It seemed that the internal strife in the Shen family was quite complicated.
"Grandpa, Commander Pan, although my younger brother and sister - in - law have committed a crime, could we wait until the banquet is over?" Shen Cheng said. "Also, could you all please move to the inner hall? The Shen family..."
"Don't be smart." Commander Pan looked unpleasant. "I'm indeed here because of these two, but it's not because they've committed a crime."
"Then..." Shen Cheng and the others were confused. If he wasn't here to cause trouble, then why did Shen Jiao speak so assertively just now?
"I received a report saying... saying that you're here, so I came."
Shi Wan: "..." Ma Yi? Was this person stupid? She jumped into every trap. Since that was the case... She couldn't be blamed.
"A report. It doesn't seem to be a good thing." Confirming her guess, Shen Jiao continued. "I said that Shi Wan, a country bumpkin, has no manners..."
"Shut up!" This time, before Mr. Shen could stop her, Commander Pan couldn't bear it anymore. "Do you have the right to interrupt when we're talking?"
"Don't be offended, Commander Pan. Shen Jiao just wanted to know what crime Shi Wan had committed." The second uncle of the Shen family was afraid of offending others and quickly pulled Shen Jiao back.
Shen Siyan wasn't worried at all that Shi Wan had committed a crime. Firstly, it was because of Commander Pan's attitude towards her. Secondly, Commander Pan wouldn't dare to arrest his people in front of him. However, he was becoming more and more curious about the identity that could make Commander Pan so respectful.
"Little Pan, what did you do last night? You should..."
"Grandpa Nian." Commander Pan saluted. "No, Miss Shi Wan is our key protected object. We will never harm her."
Everyone: "..." What object? Key? Was she a panda?!
"What? What did you say?" Mr. Shen also thought this world was too absurd. Who exactly was Shi Wan?
Commander Pan frowned. According to regulations, without an order, they shouldn't expose Shi Wan's identity.
"Who is she? She's the leader of the hacker alliance, Grapefruit!" However, since Commander Pan didn't say anything, Ma Yi, who was eager to see Shi Wan get arrested, couldn't help but say. Her high - pitched voice was full of excitement.
"As for Commander Pan's arrival, of course, it's to arrest her."
Shi Wan gave Commander Pan a cold look. "Why did you bring this stupid person here?"
"I'm sorry. It was her who revealed your whereabouts to us."
"Shi Wan, you're still daring to scold me when you're about to die?" Ma Yi didn't notice Commander Pan's attitude towards Shi Wan.
The others were already too shocked to say a word. The hacker alliance... And she was their leader? Was Shi Wan even human? Moreover, what shocked them even more was Commander Pan's attitude. It seemed that Shi Wan's identity was not just Grapefruit.
"Take this person out first." Commander Pan's face showed authority. "Regarding today's matter, please don't disclose it, especially Miss Shi Wan's identity. Otherwise, I'll have to invite you all to have tea and chat about life."
Everyone present was smart and naturally understood what this meant. It seemed that the Shen family couldn't be offended, especially the couple Shen Siyan and Shi Wan.
After the banquet ended, Shi Wan and the others sat in the study. Commander Pan's men guarded outside to prevent anyone from getting close.
"Miss Shi Wan, why did you suddenly leave the hacker alliance?"
"Because I'm bored." Shi Wan said indifferently. "What? Can't I leave?"
"No... It's just that without you in charge, it might be a bit dangerous there."
In the eyes of outsiders, the hacker alliance was a powerful organization. But few people knew that after the leader of the hacker alliance was replaced by Grapefruit, they started to serve the country. Over the years, thanks to them, a lot of information hadn't been exposed, and foreign spies had nowhere to hide. For this reason, he respected Shi Wan and the others very much, but he rarely got to see them in person. This was the second time he saw her. The first time, he only saw her from a distance.
"There are plenty of talented people there." Shi Wan didn't want to continue this topic. "What did Ma Yi report about me?"
"She knows your identity. She thought the hacker alliance was a personal organization and tried to get us to detain you."
"You don't have to worry about this matter. I'll handle her."
"Okay." After hesitating for a while, he looked at Shen Siyan as if he had something to say. But since there were others around, he turned around and left.
Back in the room, Shen Siyan saw that Shi Wan had changed her attitude, and he knew something was wrong. He took the initiative to explain.
"Darling, I do have some connections with Commander Pan, but I can't tell you the reason for now." He held her hand, his eyes full of sincerity. "I won't lie to you, and I won't hurt you."
Shi Wan was silent for a while. "Whether you tell me your business or not is your freedom, but peeling off my disguise... Did you enjoy it?"
