531 The Truth Of The Past!
Translator: Lordbluefire
As soon as these words were spoken, the investigator immediately said, “No, the birthday banquet of the Shen family is over, and the Queen left with a pleasant demeanor!”
“What?” Shen Zhong was stunned. “This is impossible!”
Shen Chong also asked anxiously, “What happened exactly?”
“Our people found out that the small-time actor turned out to be the Crown Prince of Country A! Oh no, I heard he’s already the king!”
Shen Zhong and Shen Chong. “????”
Both of them were confused and asked in disbelief, “What did you say?”
“This is true!! There was a group of reporters outside the Shen family, and they all took pictures!”
That day, the topic #NotActingProperlyAndGoingBackToInheritTheThrone# tagline went straight to trending.
Now, all the netizens knew that the “Jade-faced Peach Blossom Eyes” Jing Zhen in the entertainment circle turned out to be the King of Country A!
As he liked the entertainment circle, he had come to fool around in disguise. But now that the previous King of Country A had passed away, Jing Zhen had no choice but to go back and inherit the throne.
This hot topic instantly made Jing Zhen’s popularity explode.
As a result, he directly went from an insignificant small celebrity to a major one. But unfortunately, Jing Zhen could no longer participate in any scheduled filming arrangements.
His identity became a shackle that confined him.

Shen Ruojing also saw the trending topic on the internet.
In fact, Jing Zhen’s name had been trending several times before, but he would only be on the top list for one or two hours before his name inexplicably disappeared, being suppressed by other celebrities.
As a result, Jing Zhen’s popularity had been tepid for years.
Thinking back now, it was clear that this couldn’t be coincidental.
All the trending topics being suppressed and so on must have been done by Jing Zhen himself.
After all, his identity was special. He had been hiding from the Queen, mingling in China’s entertainment circle. If he really became popular, wouldn’t the Queen recognize him? It was because he was so low-key and unremarkable that he had been able to escape the royal family’s tracking.
But this time around, the trending topic was not revoked.
Jing Zhen became the King of Country A, and he would definitely attend various events in the future. He would inevitably show his face in public sooner or later.
Hence, instead of exposing his identity at that time and causing people in the country to guess repeatedly, it was better to announce it to the world like this.
The previous King of Country A had passed away, and it was time to bury him secretly.
As Shen Ruojing pondered, she carefully looked at the trending list and found that there were few descriptions of her and her mother, but there was more focus on Jing Zhen’s pictures. Seeing this, she finally felt relieved.
Then she looked up and saw Chu Cichen standing in front of her, with a gentle expression. “Are you going to Country A?”
Shen Ruojing nodded. “My mother is not feeling well, and she is an elderly pregnant woman. I need to be with her until she delivers.”
Meanwhile, Chu Cichen was already pondering the business prospects of the Loong Corporation in Country A.
Country A was a small country located in the southeast of China, and they only had a population of a few million. However, because it was adjacent to China, the people of Country A had some resemblance to the people of China. But in truth, the features of Country A’s people were more attractive.
Upon closer examination of Jing Zhen, one could actually see some exotic features on his face.
Those peach blossom eyes were very deep, and when they looked at you, they gave you a feeling of endless depth.
As the topic had drifted off, Chu Cichen retracted his thoughts.
Country A was too small and was a monarchy with concentrated power. Their wealth came from several generations of accumulation, and every person in the country was wealthy, living a very comfortable life.
And because that was a place where the King had the final say and had strong control over the country, the Loong Corporation basically had no influence in Country A.
Chu Cichen thought of opening up a market there, but just as he was about to speak, he heard Shen Ruojing say, “Don’t go. ‘
Chu Cichen’s phoenix eyes slightly sank, looking at her with sadness.
Shen Ruojing said, “Although my father looks unreliable, he is actually very cunning. Since the Queen Dowager has cleared the obstacles for him and is just waiting for him to return to inherit the throne, he must have his reasons for not going back.”
Shen Ruojing pondered for a moment and said, “1 think if it weren’t for the queen forcing her way into our home this time and forcing me into a dead-end, my father would not have revealed his identity. This indicates that this trip to Country A may not be safe.”
Chu Cichen immediately said, “That’s why I need to go even more.”
“No.” Shen Ruojing lowered her eyes.
She thought of when her identity as Professor Z was exposed last time, and the backlash she received after the public found out the fake news of her creating the No. 5 Neurotoxin. Hence, Shen Ruojing looked at Chu Cichen seriously and said, “1 want you to stay and take care of the three children.”
Chu Cichen hesitated for a moment.
Shen Ruojing continued, “Cichen, you and I are not simply two people. We are a family of five, so we can’t both be in danger at the same time. Otherwise, what will happen to the three children if things go south? So, promise me. You have to stay in the capital and wait for me to come back.”
Chu Cichen wanted to refuse, but when he looked up, he met Shen Ruojing’s determined gaze.
He knew that Shen Ruojing had thought it through. Things decided by 518 would never be reversed.
Chu Cichen pursed his lips and finally said, “Okay.”
Shen Ruojing breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Chu Cichen wouldn ‘t listen to her arrangements and would go on a dangerous trip with her father to Country A. She needed to make sure that there were no worries behind her, and in China, the only person she could trust was Chu Cichen.
Shen Ruojing knew that her request was unreasonable.
She was about to comfort Chu Cichen when her phone suddenly rang. She then took it out and saw that it was Ye Lu calling.
Shen Ruojing thought that Ye Lu must have seen the news and came to confirm with her. Shen Ruojing then answered the phone and expected to hear a cheerful voice, but instead, Ye Lu’s voice sounded very serious. “Something happened to Song Chen.”
When Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen arrived at the hospital, Song Chen had been taken into the operating room. The doctors in the operating room were trustworthy, so Ye Lu didn’t have to be inside, and she left to meet them outside after Shen Ruojing arrived.
Shen Ruojing asked, “What happened?”
Ye Lu said, “No one has harmed Song Chen recently, so I intentionally let my guard down to make the other side think we weren’t paying attention, giving them the opportunity to expose themselves, rather than always hiding and lurking.”
Shen Ruojing nodded. She knew about this and so did Song Chen.
Years ago, someone from an organization had asked Song Chen to pretend to date her as Chu Cichen. After that, the organization relentlessly pursued Song Chen.
However, after he was protected, they seemingly ceased their activities.
So, Song Chen and Ye Lu had discussed and decided to use Song Chen as bait to lure the other side out because Song Chen couldn’t live in the hospital forever.
The other side took the bait, and they struck again today.
Ye Lu continued, “Today, a strange nurse came to change Song Chen’s medication. I became suspicious, and the nurse indeed attacked Song Chen. Fortunately, we were prepared and took down the nurse. We have handed her over to Mr. Chu’s people for interrogation, and I’m sure we’ll know the truth soon.”
Shen Ruojing looked at Chu Cichen again.
Chu Cichen nodded to her. “l have a skilled interrogator among my people.
Shen Ruojing nodded too. She had always wanted to know the truth about what happened back then. Why did the other side want to design a strange love affair between Song Chen and her? Now she finally had some clues.
While waiting for Song Chen’s surgery, Lu Cheng suddenly came over with a serious expression. “Lord Jing, Bro Chu, the little nurse has confessed!”
Shen Ruojing immediately looked at him.. ‘What happened?!’
