After Chen Cheng had walked a good distance away, Liu Yongzhen looked at Shen Qingpeng and Shen Qingxuan with a serious expression.
"Young Master Qingpeng, Miss Qingxuan, if you sneak out of the Shen Family residence again, don't blame this old man for reporting it to the Patriarch."
"Grandpa Liu, we were just getting stir-crazy. We were only wandering around the Shen Family residence, we really didn't plan to sneak out and have fun," Shen Qingpeng said with a cheerful laugh.
Liu Yongzhen was clearly not so easily fooled. "You two had best make sure there isn't a next time," he said sternly.
"Don't you worry, Grandpa Liu. There definitely won't be a next time!" Shen Qingpeng promised, then motioned for Shen Qingxuan to leave.

Meanwhile, Chen Cheng arrived at the council hall in the Shen Family's main residence. After exchanging some pleasantries with Shen Mingyuan, he stated the purpose of his visit.
