I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Shu Yunpeng dragged his exhausted body through the door, relying on memory to walk with drooping eyes to the middle of the living room, closed his eyes, and sat directly on the sofa, then took a deep breath.

These past few days, he had been running around for Ma En and Xiaoyao's affairs. Saying he was the leader of the younger generation of the Shu family was not as accurate as saying he was the most capable workhorse. Those old geezers always gave him the most arduous tasks.

In the past, he could use the excuse that he would get ahead in a few years to numb himself, but now that those old things had obtained longevity pills, who knew how much longer they could live? Maybe he would be close to death while they were still radiant.

This also made him increasingly depressed these past few days. When he saw Ma En take out the longevity pill, he almost pointed at Ma En's nose and cursed, but his attention was immediately diverted by his daughter and family matters.

But after the matter passed, his mood became even heavier. In this situation where he couldn't see any hope, he couldn't suppress his anxiety and frustration at all, and could only use tiring work to numb himself temporarily.

But as soon as he sat down, he would immediately think that he was doing free labor for Ma En and the three old geezers in the family, personally delaying the time for him to become the head of the Shu family, which made him extremely angry.

"Huff..."

Shu Yunpeng heavily exhaled the air from his lungs, still suppressing these chaotic thoughts in his heart. Living in this kind of political family, he had no other choice but to accept this outcome.

Moreover, the reason he was so resistant to the longevity pill was because he wasn't old yet. If he were to be replaced by those old geezers, he would definitely make the same choice. In the end, the problem was just that he wasn't the beneficiary.

These thoughts would only affect his judgment. Next, he could only perfectly handle this matter. After all, his father and the others would definitely be able to obtain the longevity pill. He could only hope that he could also get a pill.

These three pills definitely wouldn't be his, whether in terms of status or age.

But the future ones might not be out of his reach. After all, their cooperative relationship with Ma En wouldn't end after this matter was completed. Now, his daughter's relationship with him was already particularly good.

It might even be so good that it didn't align with the family's interests, but he didn't particularly care.

First is the individual, then the family, and finally the entire clan. It wouldn't be a bad thing for them if his daughter could benefit, and it wouldn't matter even if he and his wife didn't get any benefits.

After all, she was his own daughter.

He wasn't as cold-blooded as his old man. Back then, when Tang Xueluan wanted to leave the family, it was he and his wife who stopped the family's pressure. In the end, he wasn't the same kind of person as his father.

Perhaps it was precisely because his father was that kind of guy that he didn't want to become the same as him.

Thinking of this, he felt a little better. Regardless of whether this was self-comfort, he calmed down. He could at least tell himself in his heart that the person who benefited the most from this matter was likely to be his daughter.

After seeing Ma En, he had also completely changed his opinion of him, dispelled his doubts about Ma En, and firmly believed that he would rise rapidly in the Federation, and Xiaoluan would definitely be able to rise with him, and her relationship with Ma En seemed really good.

He could sense something unusual in the way his daughter looked at Ma En.

In this way, maybe she could also get them a longevity pill soon, and then maybe she could rely on Ma En's extremely special status and position to exchange for other benefits, and maybe there would be other changes in the future.

And in the worst case, Tang Xueluan would definitely be able to get him a longevity pill, right? If that didn't work, he could still outlive those guys. Didn't they not want to die? Then they could see who lived longer.

But just as he comforted himself and wanted to rest, he heard a particularly jarring sound.

His phone rang.

Shu Yunpeng took out his phone with some impatience, but after just a few glances, he revealed a serious expression. The family was actually holding an emergency meeting at this time. Did something new happen with Xiaoyao and Ma En's affairs?

Without saying much, he immediately got up and walked into the study, closing the doors and windows tightly, then sat upright in the chair, and pressed a special panel on the wall.

The entire study suddenly went dark for a moment, then lit up again.

And before him appeared the other five councilors of the family.

Sitting in the first seat was naturally his father, who was even more cold-blooded than a lizard, and on his left and right sides were the other two elders in the family who were already on their last legs, followed by his position.

And his two brothers sat behind him, which also faintly reflected the current structure of the family.

Shu Shengyuan glanced at the six councilors present, then slowly opened his mouth with a serious expression:

"Wait here for a moment, we'll need to spend more time checking the situation this time."

This sentence had already set the tone for the entire meeting. Obviously, he was not calling the meeting for a small matter, and it was likely more serious than he had initially anticipated.

They remained silent for more than ten minutes before Shu Shengyuan spoke again:

"Alright, then I'll talk about the matter of this meeting.

"This matter is related to the longevity pill, and the news must not leak outside the meeting. I know that some of you don't have a lock on your mouths when it comes to your confidants, but the severity of this matter does not allow you to make any mistakes.

"Understood?"

The others nodded with serious expressions.

After confirming that none of them were taking his words lightly, Shu Shengyuan continued:

"I've received a very important piece of news. Although it sounds particularly exaggerated, I've repeatedly confirmed that the news is indeed true, and we've also obtained very important evidence."

"That is, Ma En has broken the ceasefire agreement with the Federation and lost the protection of the Federation."

Silence instantly enveloped the conference room. The other five councilors exchanged glances with each other. They could see the emotions erupting from each other's eyes: surprise, doubt, curiosity...

And greed.

The elderly woman sitting to Shu Shengyuan's left asked:

"Are you sure? Who gave you this news?"

Shu Shengyuan said:

"I don't know. The person who handed me the thing didn't leave any traces. The methods were quite ingenious, but I think it's likely that Ma En's enemies gave it to us, or some other guys with ulterior motives.

"In any case, this thing is in our hands now."

Shu Yunpeng also asked with some curiosity:

"How did he violate the Federation's contract?"

Shu Shengyuan paused, then said:

"That's not important either. What we need to consider now is how to deal with this news."

This answer made Shu Yunpeng a little puzzled, but he didn't continue to think deeply about it.

After half a minute, a councilor of the same generation as Shu Yunpeng said:

"I think this is our sharp weapon. It can be used to make Ma En hand over more things, and it's also our confidence to flip the table in this transaction. Now we can completely suppress Ma En's conditions."

Shu Yunpeng immediately raised an objection:

"But if we do this, it means we have to inform Ma En that we have this information, and these words can't be easily said. They must be said at the best opportunity.

"Unless we want to finalize everything with one blow, otherwise we can't let him know what we have."

Shu Shengyuan nodded:

"That's right, that's what I think too. This information can indeed bring many benefits, and help us deal with and control Ma En at critical times, but I don't think it's the critical time yet.

"My view is that before completing this transaction with Ma En, we must never let Ma En notice anything unusual. I even suspect that someone wants to use this to influence this transaction. Variables are risks for us.

"We cannot accept any risks."

After he said this, the two elderly councilors beside him nodded to express their agreement. Their movements were so skilled, as if they had rehearsed them dozens of times. Obviously, they had already secretly finalized the result.

The other two councilors seemed to still have some objections, but Shu Shengyuan immediately said:

"This matter is very bizarre. Although the benefits are obvious to us, it may also bring new variables to our current cooperation with Ma En, so now is not the best time.

"But I don't think this thing will stay in our hands. Ma En and Xiaoyao have extremely high value waiting for us to slowly extract. I think this is an opportunity that the Shu family cannot miss.

"As long as we use it well, we can control Ma En and use him to get countless benefits from Xiaoyao.

"But before that, you must all keep this secret."

Overall, this matter was a good thing for the Shu family, but Shu Yunpeng was not so happy, because after this matter happened, it would also lead to a significant decrease in his daughter's usefulness to the family.

But for their family, this matter was still more beneficial than harmful.

Just as he was thinking about the gains and losses, Shu Shengyuan gave a few more instructions to the others, then slowly shifted his gaze to him, and said:

"The others can leave, but Yunpeng, you wait for me here."

Shu Yunpeng glanced at his father in surprise, but didn't say anything. He sat in his seat and watched the figures of the others slowly fade away, then Shu Shengyuan's expression also became a little strange.

It was a bit like grief, a bit like sympathy, and also a bit of hypocrisy.

"Yunpeng," Shu Shengyuan continued, "Didn't you just ask me what Ma En did?"

Shu Yunpeng looked at him with some confusion:

"That's right, but you didn't say just now."

Shu Shengyuan nodded:

"It wasn't convenient to say it just now. I think I can tell you now.

"But you need to be mentally prepared."

Hearing this, Shu Yunpeng felt an ominous premonition, then he nodded:

"Of course, tell me."

Shu Shengyuan said, word by word:

"He killed Shu Yun."

Shu Yunpeng was stunned.

It took him about half a minute to slowly realize what his father meant, then intense anger immediately occupied his entire face, and slowly transformed into deep hatred in the silence.

"I want to see the evidence," Shu Yunpeng said in a hoarse voice.

Shu Shengyuan shook his head slightly:

"I knew it would be like this, so I didn't want to tell you. How old are you? Why do you still lose control of your emotions so easily when you encounter something? I..."

Shu Yunpeng interrupted:

"I want to see the evidence, see it with my own eyes."

Shu Shengyuan sighed. In fact, when he first learned of this news, he had no intention of telling his stupid son, but he soon realized that this matter could not be concealed.

If he didn't tell Shu Yunpeng about this matter, the mastermind behind the scenes would have a high probability of quietly handing that thing over to his disappointing son, and then it would be too late for him to stop it.

"I will show it to you," Shu Shengyuan emphasized his tone, scolding with some anger, "What have you learned all these years? Why can't you hold your breath when you encounter something? I know you're very angry...

"But now is not the time for you to take revenge."

Shu Yunpeng looked at his father with cold eyes. He thought he was very familiar with this man, but when he said these words, Shu Yunpeng felt that he had underestimated his father.

Even if it was himself or his wife who died, this man would not have any emotional fluctuations.

"He killed my daughter," Shu Yunpeng said through gritted teeth, "You want me to calm down? He is now next to my other daughter. You want me to slowly listen to you say those nonsense."

"Humph!" Shu Shengyuan snorted with anger, making Shu Yunpeng's voice stiffen, "Could it be that you want us to miss the opportunity to prolong our lives because of this? Is your daughter's life a life, and your father's isn't?

"Moreover, this is a rare opportunity for the Shu family. He killed your daughter, you can make him compensate slowly, and we can also use this as a reason to threaten and control him. Wouldn't it be too cheap for him to die like this?

"The Shu family has already decided, do you want to defy the entire family."

Shu Yunpeng still said through gritted teeth:

"I must kill him, he killed Shu Yun..."

"Shut up!" The old man suddenly roared, staring at him with stern eyes.

Although he was already in his fifties, Shu Yunpeng still felt a chill all over his body when he heard this roar, and then he completely calmed down as if he had been poured cold blood, standing stiffly in place without moving.

The old man's tone softened a bit:

"I know you want to take revenge, but now is not the time. We will kill him sooner or later, and I promise to let you achieve true revenge at that time, and carry out the most cruel torture on him, making him cry and repent for your daughter's death.

"But we must get the longevity pill and smoothly complete the transaction with him and Xiaoyao. Revenge on him is a matter after that. If you insist on your own way, we will not just watch.

"We can let you sit in your current position, and we can also let you down.

"Do you understand?"

Shu Yunpeng lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice that was almost inaudible:

"Understood."
