Shen Qianqian was hospitalized.
Shen's Father was anxiously pacing outside the emergency room. The moment the doctor came out, he hurried forward to inquire.
"Doctor, how is my daughter now? Is she alright?"
The doctor responded, "There's no major issue. The patient has been eating poorly for a long time, which has weakened her body. Additionally, she seems to be emotionally disturbed. Sir, you need to find ways to cheer her up, preferably by going along with her wishes."
"Okay, I understand."
Shen's Father furrowed his brow and called his secretary.
"Chairman," the secretary's voice came from the phone.
Shen's Father gave his instruction in a deep voice, "Look into Lin Xuan for me, thoroughly. I need detailed information about him."
"Yes, I'll get on it right away." The secretary immediately acted upon Shen's Father's order.
After hanging up, Shen's Father returned to the ward. He looked at Shen Qianqian, who was lying weakly on the bed, receiving glucose infusion, and sighed softly.
He had thought that Qianqian would get over her tantrum as she usually did.
He didn't expect that this time, she was so persistent about being with Lin Xuan.
Shen's Father frowned tightly.
Was he really going to let Qianqian be with Lin Xuan?
How could Lin Xuan be worthy of Qianqian?
Three hours later.
The secretary arrived at the hospital with files in hand, "Chairman, everything is investigated."
"Here is his information."
The secretary handed the files to Shen's Father.
She introduced, "Chairman, Lin Xuan was indeed a troublemaker in the past. He only scored over three hundred in the college entrance exam, and it was under the Lin Family's influence that he managed to enroll in Shangqing University."
Shen's Father's brows furrowed slightly.
He knew this from his previous investigation. Lin Xuan's academic performance was terrible, and he wasn't clean-handed either. In every aspect, he was far from being comparable to Lin Li.
Lin Xuan and Lin Li were completely incomparable.
That's why he chose Lin Li to be his son-in-law. However, he didn't expect that Lin Li was a hypocrite!
On the surface, he appeared like a gentleman, but behind closed doors, he couldn't control his lower body!
"Chairman," the secretary continued, "For some reason, despite his poor academic record before, Lin Xuan has consistently ranked first in the computer science department at Shangqing University after enrolling."
"How is that possible?" Shen's Father frowned, "How could Lin Xuan have such excellent grades? Did he cheat?"
"It shouldn't be." The secretary shook her head, "Shangqing University has strict regulations; it would be difficult for Lin Xuan to cheat, and with his top score, he couldn't have copied from others."
If it wasn't cheating...
Shen's Father's brows furrowed even tighter. Could there be another side to Lin Xuan that he didn't know about?
"Go on," Shen's Father instructed.
"Yes."
The secretary continued her introduction, "Moreover, Lin Xuan founded the Zhanxinbao website and created a video website called Huyin. By the way, he also plans to establish an entertainment company."
Lin Xuan hadn't publicized these achievements. The secretary discovered them because her brother was a fan of Lin Xuan's novels and mentioned it to her, prompting her to investigate further.
"The owner of the Zhanxinbao novel website is Lin Xuan?" Shen's Father's face was full of shock.
"Yes, back then, the Zhanxinbao website didn't spend a penny on marketing. It rose to prominence by riding on the popularity of the leading company in the novel industry. Chairman, it's hard to believe that this Lin Xuan is the same person as the past Lin Xuan."
It was truly incredible.
When she received this information, she was also shocked for quite a while.
"Anything else? What about his relationship with Qin Ruoyao?" Shen's Father inquired further.
"Chairman, rest assured. Lin Xuan currently has no interest in Qin Ruoyao. According to the information I gathered, Qin Ruoyao regrets her decision and wants to be with Lin Xuan, but Lin Xuan doesn't pay her any attention." The secretary replied with a smile.
"Qin Ruoyao even publicly confessed to Lin Xuan, but he didn't respond."
The Lin Xuan described by the secretary was completely different from the one in Shen's Father's memory.
Shen's Father's mind flashed back to Lin Xuan's birthday party, where he had seen his handsome face and his calm, commanding demeanor.
This Lin Xuan indeed seemed like a natural-born leader.
Could it be that he had underestimated Lin Xuan?
Shen's Father carefully reviewed the information about Lin Xuan.
"Good, very good." Shen's Father smiled contentedly, "It seems I underestimated Lin Xuan!"
"Chairman, are you considering selecting Lin Xuan as Miss’s husband?" The secretary inquired tentatively.
"Yes, Qianqian likes him." Shen's Father nodded.
His daughter's desires were his own. He would spare no effort to help his daughter achieve them.
"But, Chairman, the Lin Family has already severed ties with Lin Xuan. Wouldn't Lin Xuan's background be unsuitable for Miss?" The secretary frowned.
"That's even better."
Shen's Father smiled and said, "I have only one daughter, Qianqian. I don't want her to leave me. Lin Xuan has no parents; I can have him enter into a marriage with Qianqian."
Shen's Father's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, "Lin Xuan is not completely useless; his abilities are acceptable. Without a family background to rely on, no matter what he does, he will still be far from the Shen Family. This way, I can control him well."
As long as he could control Lin Xuan, he wouldn't have to worry about him betraying Qianqian.
"Chairman, you’re indeed wise." The secretary smiled.
"Alright, you can leave now."
The exhaustion of the past two days vanished from Shen's Father.
He continued to sit by Shen Qianqian's bedside, watching over her. Half an hour later, Shen Qianqian finally woke up.
"Qianqian, you're awake." Shen's Father exclaimed with joy, "You scared your father half to death."
Shen Qianqian didn't speak; she just turned around and ignored Shen's Father.
Obviously, she had no intention of engaging with him.
"Qianqian, are you still blaming me for opposing you and Lin Xuan being together?" Shen's Father sighed.
"Dad, if you continue to oppose me and Lin Xuan, then I'll continue not eating." Shen Qianqian replied sullenly.
"Qianqian, since you like Lin Xuan so much, I won't stop you." Shen's Father said affectionately.
"Really?" Shen Qianqian turned around, her eyes lighting up as she stared at her father.
"Would I lie to you?"
Shen's Father rubbed Shen Qianqian's hair helplessly, "You've even threatened me with starving yourself. How could I continue to stop you?"
"Thank you, Dad." Shen Qianqian excitedly said.
"You know how much Dad cares for you." Shen's Father smiled helplessly.
Looking at Shen Qianqian's face, Shen's Father was lost in nostalgia.
Qianqian looked so much like her mother.
He hadn't been able to protect his wife, but for their daughter, he would never allow her to be wronged. Her wishes, he would do his best to fulfill.
He wanted to see Qianqian live happily and joyously for the rest of her life.
"Qianqian, I'll go to the Lin Family this afternoon and arrange for you to marry Lin Xuan." Shen's Father said.
"No." Shen Qianqian stopped him, "Lin Xuan and the Lin Family are not on good terms now. If you go to the Lin Family, it might upset Lin Xuan."
Shen's Father frowned.
Indeed, it was better not to involve the Lin Family right now.
He had just canceled the cooperation with the Lin Family at the birthday banquet; now, if he were to turn around and approach them again, where would his dignity be?
"Alright." Shen's Father nodded, "Then Dad won't go to the Lin Family; I'll talk to Lin Xuan myself and arrange a relationship between him and you."

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
