Guan Lei gently held Shen Xi’s hand and managed a smile, saying, “Xi, you don’t need to worry about me. I have a clear conscience, and everything will be fine.’

Then, Guan Lei turned to Guan Yan and Su Han, instructing, “Mom, Dad, please ensure Xi reaches home safely.”

The moment Grandpa mentioned the word “election,” Guan Lei knew something serious had happened.

The sudden mention of an election, given that the general had only served for less than four years, suggested the possibility of an ongoing investigation or his demise.

He was worried that the current situation might escalate, causing harm to Shen Xi if someone discovered his connection to her.

Su Han nodded at her son. While she was not always dependable, in times like these, she understood the gravity of the situation.

At the same time, she was afraid. Fourteen years ago, during the elections, the Gu family kidnapped Meng Yu to threaten Guan Miao and the Gu family.

What if this time someone caught Shen Xi and threatened Guan Lei?

For the sake of their son, they wouldn’t let anything happen to Shen Xi, nor would they let her become a vulnerability for Guan Lei and the Gu family, just like Meng Yu had been back then.

“Son, go without worries. Both Mom and Xi will be fine. Trust me,” Su Han said firmly.

Guan Lei understood Su Han’s underlying message. Letting out a soft sigh, he tenderly caressed Shen Xi’s hand and whispered, “Xi, take good care of yourself, okay?”

Shen Xi’s gaze remained fixed on Guan Lei for a moment, then she nodded solemnly, “Yes, I will.”

Guan Lei was then placed in a wheelchair and left the hospital room.

As Guan Lei’s figure disappeared around the corner, tears streamed down Su Han’s face. Although she knew the situation wasn’t final, she couldn’t help but feel pessimistic.

She had already lost one son, and she couldn’t bear any more unexpected events.

Shen Xi looked at Su Han, feeling deep sympathy. Watching a son suffer severe injuries and being detained was something no mother could endure.

Shen Xi gently held Su Han’s hand, offering silent support that considerably eased Su Han’s distress.

Su Han squeezed Shen Xi r s hand and said, “Look at me, why cry for no reason?

Ah Lei said to take you home, so let’s go. Auntie will take you home.”

Shen Xi nodded. At this moment, she didn’t refuse the offer. Instead, she followed the Gu family couple out.

She understood that even if she forgot Guan Lei, it didn’t mean others wouldn’t use her to threaten him.

When Shen Xi returned home, Shen Yan and Lu Shan were in a hurry to leave the house.

Both Shen Yan and Lu Shan both sighed in relief upon Shen Xi’s return. After exchanging a glance, Lu Shan nervously looked outside the door and then firmly closed it, pulling Shen Xi inside.

Confused, Shen Xi asked, “Mom, what’s going on? Why this expression?”

Lu Shan held Shen Xi’s hand and said, “Niom is worried about you. Wasn’t Guan Lei accused of leaking classified information from the lab? Let me tell you, this matter is not simple. The current general was just assassinated, and we don’t know who will take over. But we received information that someone is eyeing that position, so they’re preparing to deal with the Guan family.”

Shen Yan added, “Yes, Xi, you don’t know how worried Mom and Dad were just now. We fear that those people have already found Guan Lei. They boldly claim that Guan Lei is a traitor to the country, showing signs of treason. This matter is far from simple. Your relationship with Guan Lei is known to many, so Dad is very concerned about your safety.”

Shen Xi didn’t mention the incident at the hospital, fearing it would worry them.

However, her expression turned more serious. “Assassinated? Have they found out who did it? Why would they suddenly accuse Guan Lei of treason?”

On the way home, Shen Xi avoided asking Su Han and Guan Yan to not upset them.

Now that her parents were talking about it, Shen Xi naturally wanted to get a clear understanding.

Although the Shen and Lu families were not involved in military and political circles, as two major financial groups in Beijing, they had significant connections.

Not being part of the political sphere allowed them to achieve such financial prominence, holding a solid position in a turbulent area like Beijing for decades.

So, Shen Xi knew that she could gather a lot of information from her parents..
