I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 661 Creator

If her head hadn't been hurting so badly, she would have almost believed it.

A scheming man.

Jiang Huashan slapped Shen Guiling's hand, kept a safe distance away, and then slowly sat up, looking around with a vigilant look on his face.

"Why are you here? You've come just in time. I have a few tricky things I haven't figured out. Could you help me sort them out?"

She suddenly seemed to be energized, sitting cross-legged, gesturing seriously with her hands, "I think Yu Sheng's fall into the water this time must be serious. Think about it..."

Shen Guiling raised his eyebrows, leaned back slightly, and looked at her without saying a word.

Jiang Huashan kept talking non-stop and felt his throat was a little dry. Just as he was about to raise his hand, Shen Guiling immediately handed him warm water.

She took it, gulped it down, and just as she took a breath, she started crackling again.

"Tell me, who is trying to harm Yu Sheng? What is their motive? The presidential election is about to begin. Could it be related to this incident?"

"..."

The red lips with drops of water opened and closed. Shen Guiling was silent for a moment, then turned around and poured herself a glass of water.

His career is going smoothly and his future is bright. There is basically nothing that he feels he cannot overcome, except for this troublemaker in front of him.

This year, Shen Guiling's biggest worry was that he couldn't cure his girlfriend's career-obsessed mindset.

Jiang Huashan spoke a lot, and finally realized that Shen Guiling's reaction was not right. He put down the water cup and put his hands on his hips, "Are you listening to me?"

Shen Guiling immediately put on a serious look and said solemnly, "Zhou Yanheng."

He did not explain whether he was listening or not, but gave a direct conclusion. This approach quickly calmed Jiang Huashan down.

"Zhou Yanheng?" She frowned and thought about it, but couldn't figure it out for a moment. She widened her eyes and leaned towards Shen Guiling.

"Are you saying that he was the one who attacked Yu Sheng?"

Shen Guiling was so dazzled by the face that suddenly approached her that she was a little confused about east, west, and north. Suddenly, she felt that being career-minded was a good thing. At least it was not easy to be deceived.

He pretended to be nonchalant and nodded, "Yeah."

"Why do you think it's him?" Jiang Huashan looked confused.

Shen Guiling thought about it and sat down next to the bed. "It would be best if it was him."

Seeing that Jiang Huashan still didn't understand, he hooked his finger and explained softly, "Shen Yijie has already admitted that Zhou Yanheng is a member of the organization. Since he and Shen Nian are in the same group, he will definitely be our enemy in the future. There are only so many people on the island, and Yu Sheng's identity is there. The only ones who dare to attack her are those few circles..."

Jiang Huashan pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

When she first learned that it was Zhou Yanheng who orchestrated the murder in Weiyangtai, she had been looking for an opportunity to fight back. However, the Zhou family had been closed to visitors since Zhou Qishan's death, and Zhou Yanheng was sent by the family to support Beiwan, and had not been in Jinggang Harbor for a year, so she had never found an opportunity.

Shen Guiling's words reminded her that the opportunity had come now.

This bastard stabs others in the back every day. Now it's time for him to taste the feeling of being framed.

Jiang Huashan took the initiative to move forward, smiling sinisterly and evilly, acting like a completely vicious female supporting role.

"I get it! Let's identify Zhou Yanheng. If it's not him, he will definitely find the real murderer to prove his innocence. This will save us effort. If he is the one, we will take the opportunity to crush him to death!"

The warm fragrance flowed along the veins of his neck, and Shen Guiling tried hard to stay awake.

"Hmm~"

Unlocking new ideas, Jiang Huashan was in a good mood and patted Shen Guiling's shoulder in a condescending manner.

"You are so cunning and shrewd. Now we have the initiative. No matter what the murderer of Yu Sheng wants to do, this development is definitely not what he wants to see."

"and many more!"

Suddenly, her fingertips paused, and a light bulb suddenly flashed in her mind.

-Creator.

Is this what this tag is for?

Her previous thoughts on battling the play had always been on how to respond to and reverse the plot. Although she had managed to win by chance several times before, it was undeniable that she was in a passive state in almost all events, and each time was more difficult than the last.

But in fact, she can completely change her thinking. She can take the initiative to create all kinds of dramatic and rich plots. Since she is the creator, the plots she creates must also be protected by the power of the play. If the influence of the plot she creates far exceeds that of the original play, perhaps the original play will be replaced.

This is called defeating magic with magic.

Of course, this was just a sudden idea that came to her mind, and there is currently no data to support it. However, she has a hunch that this time she has most likely found the right direction.

Jiang Huashan's eyes suddenly flashed with an unprecedented brilliance, and the fog that had previously shrouded her heart suddenly dissipated at this moment.

She used to feel anxious about the uniqueness of the play because she was afraid that her grandfather's ending would not be as lucky as Shen Jiao's, but now, she is not afraid anymore.

Because she seemed to suddenly understand that the pen of the play did not disappear, but she became the pen of the play.

"Shen Guiling~" Jiang Huashan blinked her eyes, "There's something~"

"..."

Although Shen Guiling didn't know why she was suddenly happy, he knew that his chance to take advantage of the situation had come.

He smiled, lowered his head and put it close to her mouth, "Then, a reward?"

Jiang Huashan's eyes moved slightly, and the fingertips hanging on his epaulettes tightened.

Shen Guiling leaned over and supported the bed with both hands. The single bed could not bear the weight of two people and made a slight creaking sound.

"..."

They were both stunned at the same time, and time seemed to freeze and stretch at this moment.

Shen Guiling raised his eyes, scanned her eyebrows carefully, and pressed his body towards her little by little. As he approached, the creaking sound of the iron frame swaying became louder and louder.

When the lips touched...

"Shanshan!!" Fu Suier's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Jiang Huashan reacted very quickly, changing his fingers from grabbing to pushing, covering Shen Guiling's mouth and pushing him out.

"..."

Shen Guiling raised his chin, lowered his eyes and looked at her quietly, looking extremely dissatisfied that his interest was disturbed.

"Suier is here!" Jiang Huashan mouthed and pointed outside the door.

Shen Guiling was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked back to the bed.

"Huh? Why are there two door gods standing here? Shanshan, Brother A Ling, are you in there?"

"Here~" Jiang Huashan answered loudly, turning around to see Shen Guiling standing there motionless like a wooden stake. She immediately glared at him and winked, "What are you standing there for? Go open the door!!"

Shen Guiling glanced at her and turned to open the door.

"Let them in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Suier, Shen Mianzhi and Su Miao walked in one after another with smiles on their faces.

"Brother Aling, long time no see!" Facing her former Bai Guang, Su Miao was surprisingly nice and took the initiative to greet him as soon as she entered the door.

Shen Mianzhi has always liked smart people. Shen Guiling's intelligence is particularly outstanding among the children in Shen Garden. She likes him very much and greets him with a smile, "Brother A Ling."

Fu Sui'er ran to Jiang Huashan's bedside and was about to sit down when he was suddenly stunned.

Jiang Huashan's attention was originally on the three people at the door. Seeing Fu Sui'er tilting his head, he couldn't help but feel curious, "What are you looking at..."

Before she could finish her words, her head suddenly started buzzing.

There were two obvious palm creases on the white bed sheet beside her...

Oh no, could it be that Suil discovered something?

"Hiss~" Fu Sui'er frowned and raised his hand to tap two palm prints.

At this moment, Jiang Huashan searched through all the sophistry words he could think of in his mind.

"Auntie, you are too careless. It's wrinkled here." As he said that, Fu Sui'er raised his hand and swept the bed sheet, smoothed the wrinkles with two slaps, and covered it with his butt.

She turned to look at Shen Guiling and said with a smile: "Brother Ling, we are not disturbing your work, right?"

“…” Jiang Huashan laughed. As expected, everything looks dirty to the heart.

Shen Guiling glanced at Jiang Huashan and said, "I didn't disturb you. I came just in time."

Jiang Huashan pursed her lips and sat upright against the bed.

Meanwhile in Whale Harbor.

It's time for the annual summit again.

The center of the main table is occupied by the top dignitaries of Country A, and the second and third level circles surrounding the central table are all representatives of local financial groups and families that are dependent on the central power.

After all these years, the Shen family's position remains unshaken. With Shen Manor as the center, the Zhou and Su families are on either side, followed by the Gu, Xiao, Qiao, Guan, and Yao families, representing the five newly powerful families.

The topics discussed in the meeting are generally the general development trends of Country A in recent years and how resources should be allocated in the future.

In this kind of meeting, the families in the third-level circle have no say at all, and what they can get depends entirely on the wishes of the top figures.

Zhou Guochao casually toyed with the top-grade Dzi beads in his hand. He glanced around and said slowly, "I said it years ago that the military-political system is prone to division and contradiction. Now the military has too much power, resulting in the government having no deterrent power. Do you think this system should be adjusted?"

The Zhou family's power is basically in the political arena, and in the alliance, only the Qiao family can be considered a family with military power, but their combined voice in the Ministry of National Defense is not as strong as a finger of the Shen family. Zhou Guochao proposed the reform at this time, and everyone present knew who he was trying to check and balance.

The Su family has connections in both the military and political circles. If the reform improves the government's prestige, Su Xin, as the head of the State Council, will be the first to benefit. Therefore, the Su family has no position to oppose it for the time being.

Su Jingliu picked up the coffee cup in front of him, with the leisurely demeanor of an old noble, "Another change? He calls for innovation every year, and Mr. Zhou has the same mentality as a young man at his age. I'm really envious~"

It's like saying nothing. Its biggest purpose is to disgust Mr. Zhou.

Zhou Guochao knew that Su Jingliu had a bad mouth, so he sneered and didn't bother to pay attention to him. He turned to look at Shen Zhuang who didn't express his opinion.

"What do you think, Mr. Shen?"

Shen Qian now sits firmly in the top seat in Congress. Even if the reform strengthens the regime, the Shen family will benefit. Logically, there is no need for the Shen family to object.

Zhou Guochao had weighed the pros and cons beforehand and deliberately brought it up at this meeting. Otherwise, the first proposal would have been rejected. There are still seven days left for the next meeting. Does he still want to save face?

Shen Zhuang's brows were gloomy. He looked up at Zhou Guochao and said, "To be determined."

Zhou Guochao, “…”

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the conference hall looked at each other with different expressions and lowered their heads.

For the resolutions of the summit to take effect, they generally require unanimous approval from the leaders in the upper circle. If there are disagreements, a roll call vote will be adopted for the sake of "fairness."

It is no exaggeration to say that what the third-level family members fear most is this link: a recorded vote. What is the difference between this and a public execution?

Zhou Guochao choked and suddenly realized what was happening. He said calmly, "What does 'to be determined' mean by Mr. Shen?"

Agree means agree, dissent means dissent. When did an undetermined option appear during the vote? This old fox always plays by his own rules.

"Reform is no joke. Every word we say here could potentially change the fate of Country A over the next decade. Military power is the foundation of a strong nation. If that power is diverted, who will protect Country A's 520 million square kilometers of land?"

"So..." Shen Zhuang's tone became more serious, "We still need to consider this matter carefully."

Saying it means not saying it.

Zhou Guochao knew that Shen Zhuang was an expert in Tai Chi, so he immediately asked, "From what Mr. Shen said, it's not that he disagrees with the reform, but that he thinks the timing is not right?"

Shen Zhuang was as calm as an old monk in meditation. "What I just said was pending, not agreeing to anything."

Zhou Guochao pressed on, "So, Mr. Shen, how long do you think the pending decision will be?"

Shen Zhuang, "Let's have a meeting next time."

Zhou Guochao, “…”

Why don’t you just say one year later? Then do we have to wait until next time?

Su Jingliu held his coffee and watched the two of them talking back and forth. When he heard Shen Zhuang say that they would wait until the next meeting, he almost spit out his coffee.

It seems that the Shen family disagrees, but does not want to offend their forces openly, so they deliberately take Zhou Guochao for a walk.

Zhou Guochao obviously knew Shen Zhuang's attitude and was too lazy to argue with him. "Since that's the case, let's vote by roll call."

As soon as he finished speaking, the smiles on the faces of the family representatives sitting in the second and third circles froze. What was coming had finally come.

Why vote on the first day? How will we get through the next few days?

The three assistants in charge of taking minutes immediately stood up and began distributing voting cards.

Generally, the voting process is initiated on the same day and completed three days later. These three days are usually a game between the major families.

The first day's meeting ended without any progress. After the meeting, Shen Zhuang was the first to stand up. Zhou Guochao thought for a moment, then stood up and followed him.

"Mr. Shen, please stay."

Shen Zhuang slowed down his pace, his expression calm, "Master Zhou, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhou Guochao said, "Mr. Shen, military hegemony has been a national policy for more than 50 years. The national conditions are completely different now. You must first stabilize the country before resisting foreign aggression, don't you understand?"

Shen Zhuang remained silent, waiting for his next words.

Zhou Guochao then continued, "I heard that the old man's precious child fell into the water last night?"

Shen Zhuang raised his eyes and smiled, "Mr. Zhou is well-informed."

"Don't forget, old man, everyone's children are on the island. You're not the only one concerned about the situation on the island. We parents all feel the same way. It's just..."

Zhou Guochao smiled back, "Old man, isn't it a bit of an overreaction to transfer the entire South Bay fleet to the island just because of one person? After all, the South Bay warships are national resources, used to protect the people of Country A, not some privileged private yacht."

Shen Zhuang nodded, with an attitude that said, "I agree with what you said, but you can shut up now," and turned to leave the conference room.
