William looked back and saw that there was no one around. He nodded and said, "Yes, with the strength of the Han family, although I am not strong enough to fight directly, the Shen family is different. The Shen family has enough strength to fight against your big brother and the Jiang family. If Stephanie marries that kid and becomes a member of the Shen family, then we don't have to worry about all this."
"But it's very risky." Pearl pursed her lips and said, "I agree with you, but you are still not sure whether the boy is from the Shen family. Even if he is from the Shen family, could he just be a distant relative of the Shen family? If so, I don't believe that David will offend the native clans in Nandu and the Jiang family from the Capital City for the sake of a distant relative."
"A distant relative?" William shook his head confidently.
Pearl saw this and could not help but ask, "I know, there is no male descendant in the Shen family. The men in the Shen family only have daughters. They only have a few close nephews, but they are not very accomplished. I believe that with David's position, he would not give them important jobs, much less hand over the family to these people."
"What you've just said is pretty much public information, but I know something you don't." William said.
"What is it?"
"Did you know that David actually had a son, but his son got kidnapped by traffickers when he was very young?" William suddenly lowered his voice and asked.
"I know. It's been nineteen years, hasn't it? The Shen family and the Chans have a lot of high officials in political circles, so they have done a lot of work regarding this. But back then, there was no CCTV, no fingerprint input, nothing. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's too difficult..."
Speaking of this, Pearl suddenly widened her eyes and looked at her man in disbelief.
"You, you mean?"
"Yes." William nodded. "Do you still remember Uncle Dong?"
"I remember, the Shen family's first housekeeper, David used to rely on Uncle Dong to escort him everywhere. After all, at that time, the medical industry was very dangerous. Without Uncle Dong standing in front of him to block a few knives, maybe the huge Shen family would not exist now." Pearl said.
"Yes, Uncle Dong is important to the Shen family. Except for David and Mary, everyone in the Shen family should be respectful to him. He is part of the top 3 members of the Shen family!"
William said with a flash in his eyes and sighed, "But that day in the concert hall, he was so respectful to an unknown boy. Although he tried his best to cover it up in front of me, I could see that whether it was in the music concert or when we were talking, his attention was always on Jason."
On the day of the concert, Pearl was resting at home because of her body, but she believed William's words unconditionally.
"But, wouldn't there be any other reason? For example, he could be a guest of the Shen family, or he could be a relative of Uncle Dong, hence giving rise to this situation?"
It was not that Pearl was unwilling to admit that Jason had this identity, but because in the face of such an important matter, as a woman, she had to help consider the possibilities that William may have missed. It was in case things got too far and they couldn't save the situation.
"I have checked. Uncle Dong is alone. He has no relatives in Nandu and his hometown, so Jason must be a person related to the Shen family. Whether he is David's missing son or not, as long as the Shen family attaches great importance to him, once Stephanie marries him, we'll be fine." David said seriously.
"But I think, even if Jason is reliable, we shouldn't be too hasty with this marriage. If Stephanie is not willing, what we're doing will be no different from how my brother wanted me to marry me to Luthor." Pearl thought for a moment and voiced her thoughts.
William nodded. "Don't worry, I'm sure about this."
At the same time.
Jason and Stephanie stood at the back door of the building and looked at the security guard in front of them, furious.
"I'm sorry. The whole building has been booked today. Without an invitation, no one is allowed to enter." The two security guards were determined and stopped Jason and Stephanie outside the door.
"I've already explained it to you, haven't I? I'm Stephanie Chan. My dad, William Chan, booked the venue. Why can't you let me in?"
Stephanie was furious.
She had been stopped here for almost fifteen minutes. No matter how she explained her identity, the security guard didn't believe it. It was almost eight o'clock and the banquet was due to begin. Stephanie stomped her feet in a hurry, when did she have to argue with a security guard?
"If your father is William Chan, then my father is Bill Gates. Don't talk nonsense. You can't enter without an invitation. Don't put on airs here, or I'll drive you away!" The security guard scolded.
