Run into the world

Chapter 30 Pattern·Investment
Power is terrifying!
It's so horrifying that even a small act of willfulness can ruin the life of an ordinary person.

This was true before the catastrophe, and even more so after the catastrophe, unless...unless you can rely on force to cultivate to a level that is difficult for people to reach, at least you must be able to ignore the army.

And this is the only way for an ordinary person to reach the top, so whenever a large-scale illusion opens, ordinary people will rush in like crazy. Even if the country sends troops to guard it, it will be useless. The surging public opinion will destroy everything. submerged.

But there are only a limited number of people who can reach the peak of cultivation, so most people should be cautious when facing power. Unless you are ready to die with him, don't use force.

"You seem to be very familiar with the family you were originally going to marry?" Shen Meng'er became interested. She thought Duan Muxiang was a bit interesting.

Duan Muxiang picked up the wine glass and clinked it with another glass on the table, "It's an open secret to go to the Soul Palace to find out the situation before a speed-dating marriage, but this time it seems that I chose the Peng family because of my own greed for wealth. But in fact, it was the Peng family who chose me, and they, the powerful people, enjoy the feeling of clearly controlling everything but making the other party feel self-righteous."

"You always talk about the powerful and powerful. How powerful is the Peng family in your mouth?" Shen Meng'er didn't trust Duan Muxiang very much.

Duan Muxiang had nothing to hide, "Do you think the Peng family, the thirteen pillars of the cabinet, is powerful enough? Of course, this is a side branch."

Shen Menger shivered and spilled her wine. After all, she was a boss who had worked hard in the shopping mall for many years, but she still couldn't calm down when she heard Thirteen Pillars.

Duan Muxiang shook his head helplessly, "Look at you, the wine is all wasted." He could understand, after all, it was difficult for ordinary people to imagine that level of influence.

"So, don't jump out of this matter. If someone comes to you, just act normally and let the other party decide. This way, you can at least create the impression that you are 'aware of current affairs'."

Shen Meng'er's face was ugly. She had never thought that she could have anything to do with the Thirteen Pillars in her life, but she was not easily frightened.

"You go to sleep first, I'll go check."

"You can do whatever you want. Oh, and by the way, bring me some regular clothes. I can't wear this wedding dress all the time."

"..."

……

After Shen Meng'er left the wedding room, she didn't say anything, and she didn't directly go to Peng's house to investigate.

She felt that what Duan Muxiang said was correct. In the final analysis, this matter was due to differences of opinion between Miss Peng and the adults of the Peng family. No matter what she did, she would offend the Peng family. It only mattered who she offended.

Even if the other party is really the Thirteen Pillars, then her behavior of investigating the Peng family may offend the other party. She is obviously the victim. If she is blamed by the other party for this, it will be too much.

Or just pretend that you haven't discovered anything?

Shen Meng'er thought for a long time and it seemed that this was the safest way, but that didn't mean she would do nothing. She couldn't investigate the Peng family, but she could investigate Duan Muxiang.

"Uncle Wen, come in."

Following Shen Meng'er's call, an old man with a cheerful face came in. He had a lot of wrinkles on his face and some slumped shoulders. But otherwise he looked quite good, very much like a kind old man.

"Miss, why are you... not in the bridal chamber? Do you dislike my uncle? But this superficial work..."

Wenbo is the steward of the Shen family. He was an employee of the express company before the disaster. Later, after Shen Meng'er took over, she became the current Wenbo with her qualifications and ability.

"The bride has been betrayed by someone. I don't know this person. You go to the Soul Palace to check. Remember, don't show the attitude of calling for an investigation. It's just like a simple investigation of information."

Uncle Wen opened his eyes wide in a daze, feeling a little confused. Good guy, I have lived for almost 70 years. Is this the first time I have encountered the plot of a bloody drama?
"Uh, miss, do you... like this uncle who came here by mistake? Otherwise..."

"The original person has been replaced by a powerful family. We can't afford to offend him. Let's wait until there is trouble."

Uncle Wen was silent for a moment, nodded and left. Shen Meng'er rubbed her temples with a wry smile on her face. She never thought that so many things could happen in a speed-dating marriage.

Nothing was destined to happen that night. Shen Meng'er spent the whole night in the study, lying on the bed and tossing and turning until she fell asleep in the latter half of the night.In contrast, Duan Muxiang slept quite comfortably. She got up early in the morning, put on new clothes and stepped out of the room, opening her arms to welcome the rising sun.

……

彭家
Although the Peng family in Jinghai County is a side branch of the Thirteen Pillars Peng family, its power cannot be underestimated.In addition to family members who are officials in various places, there are also many members who are engaged in business. These people will continuously provide resources to their families.The Peng family in Jinghai County is such a character.

boom!
Peng Huaiying kicked the table and chair fragments aside with her feet with a calm expression, and looked up at her father with a flat face.

"Anyway, we have already cooked the rice, so you can take care of it!"

Peng Shaowen's eyes widened. He took off his slippers and threw them over. Peng Huaiying dodged, but he didn't expect his father's saliva to hit him. "What's wrong with cooked rice? Is your cling film inlaid with gold?"

Peng Huaiying rolled her eyes and didn't bother to talk to him. Mingfeng looked embarrassed behind him. As expected of a biological father and daughter, their daily conversation style was very distinctive!
"Brother, be careful and don't say bad words!"

At this time, a middle-aged man who was [-]% similar to Peng Shaowen came in from the door. It was Peng Shaowen's younger brother Peng Shaowu.

"Second uncle!"

"..." Peng Shaowu nodded to Peng Huaiying but did not answer Mingfeng. He went straight to Peng Shaowen. As soon as he put his head over, Peng Shaowen pushed him away. Like a cannon."

Peng Shaowu rubbed his temples speechlessly, "I have asked people to control the people in the Soul Palace branch. The problem should have been discovered there, but it seems that there is no intention to cause trouble."

Peng Shaowen nodded and glared at Peng Huaiying, who was in a state of confusion. "It seems that they are quite familiar with each other and have kept silent about it. Well, they don't seem to have come over to ask for private contact. What does this mean? Are they accepting their fate?"

Peng Shaowu spread his hands, "I don't understand this. I did some random research and found out that the Shen family is in the logistics business and their net worth is relatively clean. The head of the family is Shen Menger. She is a capable person and is considered a talented person. She is not a boring character. . I guess I really don’t care, it’s a speed-dating marriage after all.”

Peng Shaowen frowned, "What about Duan Muxiang? Didn't he bribe the Soul Palace just to marry into a rich family, and he was willing to do so?"

Peng Shaowu looked at the golden steel crutch in Ming Feng's hand with a somewhat awkward expression, "Maybe, probably, maybe... you think Shen Meng'er is good-looking?"

"Huh?" Peng Huaiying glared, "Second uncle, what do you mean? I don't look good?"

"Huaiying, you have always been the most beautiful!" Mingfeng said softly from behind. Hot air blew into Peng Huaiying's ears, making her face turn red. She didn't have the temperament of having a quarrel with her father just now.

Peng Shaowen's face twitched, and Peng Shaowu next to him also felt extremely awkward. Originally, this matter must be exchanged.But the problem is, if the person being replaced is quite happy with it, then changing it back will be against his personal will. No matter how prominent your family is, you cannot force the will of the people. This is illegal.

The key is, if Duan Muxiang doesn't mind, then they won't get the consent of both parties if they ask for the exchange back. In this case, the unspoken rules of the Soul Palace will have to be brought to the table, which will cause public opinion to boil.

Also, although on the surface it was Duan Muxiang who wanted to marry her out of vanity, in fact it was the Peng family who chose the most handsome son-in-law among all the sons-in-law.Now that people look down on you, if you don't make it clear, you can still use reasons that no one knew before. If you really find it, then it will be obvious. Do you want the Peng family to lose face?

Peng Shaowen's face was ashen. How could a speed-dating marriage end up like this?Looking up at the humble Ming Feng, he was furious, "You two, go back and face the wall!"

"Come right back! Brother Feng, let's go back and study new postures!" Peng Huaiying pulled Ming Feng and ran out, leaving Ming Feng in a panic.

Peng Shaowen felt his eyes go dark. The wind had leaked out of his once-little cotton-padded jacket!

Peng Shaowu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pressed his eldest brother's back, "Actually, Ming Feng is pretty good in terms of family background and appearance. At least he is much better than Duan Muxiang, who only has one face. It's a pity that he is a lame. If the others If these people know about it, they will be laughed at!"

Peng Shaowen pursed his lips, "Do you think Duan Muxiang and Ming Feng have known each other for a long time? Otherwise, why would the matchmaker from the Soul Palace send a steel crutch as a gift?"

Peng Shaowu shook his head hesitantly, "Judging from the information we have, the two of them had no intersection in the past. They just took shelter in the same deserted village before coming here."

Peng Shaowen frowned, "Then Duanmuxiang doesn't think it's a coincidence or an accident? If so, then he's just a idiot!"

Peng Shaowu decisively denied this time, "No, based on time inference and the descriptions of witnesses on the road, Duan Muxiang figured out the problem halfway and asked the matchmaker to send a steel cane over."

"Then why is it that he doesn't want the wealth he chose? This kid must be seriously ill!"

The Peng brothers were angry over there, while Mingfeng gently stroked the steel crutch and sighed with emotion, "Daughter-in-law, this time I owe you a big favor."

Peng Huaiying closed the door and looked at him suspiciously, "Who is this friend of yours? A unique skill, or a unique skill that can cure your stubborn cold disease, and you just gave it away so casually? How could there be such a coincidence in the world? I'm not just waiting to show you favors!"

Ming Feng was silent for a moment, "I have checked that secret skill for a long time, and there are no traps in it, and it can indeed cure my cold disease. As for whether it was expected... We have never interacted with him, and he did not know it in advance. Knowing the identity of the Peng family, not to mention, if he has a conspiracy against the Peng family, wouldn't it be better for him to marry in himself? All he needs to do is make a noise before getting off the sedan chair."

Hearing this, Peng Huaiying did think that there were too many coincidences, and it didn't look like it was planned in advance. "Then why did he accept his fate? Isn't that Shen Meng'er really charming the country?"

Ming Feng listened to his wife's sour tone and smiled: "Then I still have to thank Shen Meng'er, otherwise we would not have been able to drag this matter out so easily. As for Duan Muxiang's matter... don't even think about it. There are always people in this world. Some people are out of place, maybe...he is that kind of true hero who is unique among all!"

"What a hero?" Peng Huaiying curled her lips, "You dare to invest in your unique skills without knowing him at all? This is no longer bold, but stupid! Isn't he afraid that you will be as kind as a grudge?"

Ming Feng suddenly paused, his expression condensed and he looked at Peng Huaiying with an inexplicable look in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Are you really not confident in me, or are you reminding me?"

Peng Huaiying was silent, and after three seconds she hugged Mingfeng's arm and said, "Isn't it because I'm afraid that you won't have clear ideas? After all, it's hard to repay this kindness."

Ming Feng smiled and shook his head, "You and I are one husband and wife, there is no need to beat around the bush like this." After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at the Yang Finger Secret Book again, "In my opinion, there are only three results of showing kindness, and one is normal repayment. . One is defaulting on a debt. The other is turning a favor into an enemy! That is to say, every time you show kindness to others, there is a two-thirds chance of getting bad results. This is why more and more people I don’t like lending money or giving favors.”

Peng Huaiying listened quietly, and Ming Feng said again: "But why does this happen? One is that the debtor himself has poor character. If such a person defaults on the debt, it can only be said that the benefactor will reap the consequences. Who told you to look at others? I'm not sure! As for the problem of kindness turning into hatred, it's because the kindness you have exerted has exceeded the other party's ability to repay it, and you keep forcing it, then there will be a situation where kindness is like hatred. So here is the question, do you believe me?"

Peng Huaiying's eyes were filled with stars, and she nodded firmly. Mingfeng smiled and said, "Look, this is why I say he is a real hero. You have blind confidence in me out of admiration, and you think I can afford to pay you back." Debt. And he made bold investments based on the pattern!"

"Pattern? Investment?"

Ming Feng sighed: "The fact that he didn't say anything means that he will not ask me to repay the debt in a short time. It also shows that he believes that I can achieve enough strength, enough power, and enough power in the future to repay this kindness! This is the pattern. , investing in the future, a total win like a total kill... What’s that look in your eyes?" Ming Feng was startled by Peng Huaiying’s dangerous eyes as he spoke.

"I suspect there is a problem between you and this Duan Muxiang. I heard that he is a rare handsome man!"
