Chapter 22: Extraneous Branches
Chen Xin looked at Shen Yiwen with a serious face, and his heart was indescribably sad. What does Shen Yiwen think of her? A backup lover when he hasn't recognized his feelings yet?
Reality no longer gives Chen Xin time to think nonsense, and the two gangsters have already caught up, because they were severely injured by Shen Yiwen before, and now they don't dare to act rashly.
Standing opposite Chen Xin and Shen Yiwen in a stalemate, although Shen Yiwen's body is now better than just now, but he has not fully recovered, the wound on his arm was roughly bandaged by Chen Xin with a strip of cloth, and now the strip of cloth has been soaked in blood.
Shen Yiwen looked at the two villains on the opposite side who didn't dare to move forward or retreat, and snorted coldly: "What? I haven't taught you a lesson just now?! Even though he was still leaning on the ground now, he had to raise his head slightly to see the two people, but the fierce momentum he exuded still frightened the two people who were standing.
"You'd better worry about yourself first, it's all like this, and you still think about heroes saving beauty!?" One of them looked at Shen Yiwen, who was sitting on the ground.
Although he was frightened by Shen Yiwen's momentum, the man was not a vegetarian, and when he saw Shen Yiwen's appearance of looking at the world and not taking him in his eyes at all, he felt that he was being ignored.
The other person saw that Shen Yiwen was a hard bone, and he also knew that Shen Yiwen was very important to their boss, so he hit Chen Xin on the side.
"This vixen is not bad, and he has a good appetite for buddies." The vulgar words came out of that person's mouth, and Chen Xin unconsciously grabbed the hand that Shen Yiwen was holding her, feeling extremely disgusting.
Seeing that Chen Xin didn't speak, the man hurriedly walked over and was about to pull Chen Xin, Shen Yiwen's eyes were cold, he stood up neatly against the wall, raised his foot and kicked the person away.
Seeing that Shen Yiwen was poisoned and could stand up, the remaining person hurriedly ran over and pulled up the person who fell to the ground, wanting to return the same way, and the two turned around, knowing that it was too late.
"Dashuai, are you alright?" Shen Yiwen's adjutant came over.
"How's it going up there?"
"The gang has been temporarily controlled." The adjutant replied cleanly.
Chen Xin helped Shen Yiwen to stand up straight, and the adjutant saw that Shen Yiwen was injured, and hurriedly asked, "Young marshal, what's the matter with you?" After speaking, he looked at the two gangsters who were trembling with fear and fell to the ground.
"Young marshal, I'll deal with them now."
Shen Yiwen held Chen Xin's hand, and obviously felt that Chen Xin's body trembled when he heard the two words of solution, worried that Chen Xin would be afraid, and he said to the adjutant: "No, take them back first." ”
Of course, the adjutant obeyed Shen Yiwen's arrangement, and just as they were walking out, Shen Yiwen finally couldn't support it anymore and fell forward directly, and Adjutant Xin Hao reacted in time and caught him.
The underground passage was not spacious, and the adjutant took a few of Shen Yiwen's other subordinates, picked up Shen Yiwen and walked towards the exit.
Chen Xin and two other soldiers with unkind faces followed behind, and the two gangsters were tied hands, and they were urged to move forward like prisoners by the two soldiers.
When he arrived at the exit, because the steps were too high, Chen Xin couldn't go up all of a sudden.
The two soldiers obviously didn't want to see Chen Xin, they were holding the rope tied to the hands of the two gangsters in their hands, and they were not afraid that the gangsters would run. Just keep ahead of the curve. Chen Xin couldn't keep up with his physical strength, so he always walked behind.
"Can't you go up?" One of the members of the Green Gang suddenly approached Chen Xin, and his tone was full of ridicule.
Chen Xin ignored him, and if she couldn't go up, she had to climb up. After all, you can't rely on others, and you have to rely on yourself for everything.
When they arrived on the ground, the soldier in charge of watching the two Qinggang people suddenly ran to the adjutant and whispered something, the adjutant looked back at Chen Xin in disgust, and then walked away without looking back with Shen Yiwen, who had fallen asleep.
Seeing Shen Yiwen being taken away, Chen Xin was relieved. She knew that Shen Yiwen had always been very good to his subordinates, and his subordinates respected him very much.
Just as Chen Xin was about to return to the small attic she rented, the two members of the Green Gang hurriedly stuffed something into her hand before being taken away by the soldiers.
What Chen Xin didn't expect was that this scene happened to be seen by a soldier next to the adjutant.
Although Chen Xin's heart was weak, he still turned his back and glanced at the contents of the note.
The Green Gang told her to help them escape, and if she did, they would tell her the cause of her father's death.
Is that why Uncle Butler asked her to come to this church? Is there really a hidden cause of her father's death?
Chen Xin couldn't believe it, this condition was really tempting, she had always felt ashamed of her father since she came out of prison, if she could find the cause of her father's death, she could help her father avenge and redress her grievances.
But...... If he does this, will Shen Yiwen feel that she has betrayed him again!?
After hesitating for a long time, when the people of the Green Gang were about to be taken away, Chen Xin nodded at them silently.
Since he agreed to help the Qing Gang escape, Chen Xin hesitated for a moment and decided not to go back to the small attic first.
She kept up with the soldiers who had already gone to the front, and returned to the Shen Mansion together.
The Shen Mansion was still brightly lit, and as soon as the servants saw Shen Yiwen coming back from injury, they all surrounded him.
Everyone hurriedly gathered around Shen Yiwen, and no one noticed that Chen Xin was also back. Even Chen Aihua, who came after hearing the news, didn't have time to mock Chen Xin, who was waiting outside the door.
Looking at the servants coming in and out, Chen Xin was a little flustered. She didn't know how Shen Yiwen was injured, and she also believed that the people in the Shen Mansion would definitely not let Shen Yiwen have an accident.
However, Shen Yiwen was injured in order to save her. Not only is she not grateful now, but she is going to betray him while he is injured and his subordinates are too busy.
"Shen Yiwen, I'm sorry! I really want to know the cause of my father's death. ”
Chen Xinxin was sideways, and took advantage of the fact that the others were in a hurry to sneak away to the place where the people of the Green Gang were temporarily detained, and unexpectedly, the road was very smooth.
Chen Xin vaguely felt that something was wrong, but the emotion of wanting to know the cause of her father's death was firmly enveloping her, and she didn't have time to think too much.
When he came out of the back door of the Shen Mansion with the people of the Green Gang, Chen Xin looked at the overjoyed Green Gang ruffian who escaped and said, "I took you out and told me, what is the cause of my father's death?" ”
I didn't hear the people of the Green Gang speak, but heard a voice that suppressed anger in indifference.
"Chen Xin, you are really capable! Got involved with them again so soon? "Who else can there be besides Shen Yiwen?
Chen Xin turned around in horror and saw Shen Yiwen's completely black face. Before she could say anything, the sound of a bullet passing through her body suddenly sounded around her, and then the warm smell of blood filled the air.
Shen Yiwen directly killed the Green Gang gangster who slashed his arm with a knife in the underground passage in front of her.
"Shen Yiwen ......"
Chen Xin was stunned, she looked at Shen Yiwen's scarlet and fierce eyes, and she didn't know what to say.
There's nothing to say, I finally overcame my psychology and really betrayed once, but I was caught red-handed.
Wrong! Chen Xin took a closer look at Shen Yiwen's injured arm, but found that there was no gauze on his arm at all.
"You're not hurt!? Are you lying to me? ”
Chen Xin immediately understood why she could be unimpeded along the way, it turned out that all this was Shen Yiwen's plan.
"You're lying to me, Chen Xin!" Shen Yiwen was obviously angry, and he roared angrily. The air pressure around you is so low that you can't breathe.
"Brother Wen, my sister must have been frightened today, don't worry about her, she may have a bad brain because she was in prison, she didn't mean to let go of those bad people."
Chen Xin didn't notice that Chen Aihua had been holding Shen Yiwen's other uninjured arm, and had been standing there watching her jokes from the beginning.
"Aihua, don't speak for her, she doesn't deserve to be your sister." Shen Yiwen smiled softly at Chen Aihua.
Chen Xin couldn't even get angry when he looked at such a scene, and Shen Yiwen said not long ago that he would believe her. But how long has it been?
Chen Xin glanced at Shen Yiwen, who had a gentle face, and Chen Aihua, who had a happy face, and she turned her gaze.
Forget it, this time this matter is really wrong, leave them far away, don't have anything to do with them anymore.
"Shen Dashuai, I'm sorry! I was wrong about this this time. Chen Xin choked up, but still tried his best to look at Shen Yiwen indifferently, trying to make himself look less sad.
In the face of Chen Xin's apology, Shen Yiwen just snorted contemptuously, then grabbed Chen Aihua's shoulder with one hand and threw the gun to the adjutant next to him with the other.
Seeing that Shen Yiwen escorted Chen Aihua to a safe place, the adjutant shot and directly shot all the Qinggang people behind Chen Xin.
Looking at the back that was gradually moving away, Chen Xin still wet his eyes uncontrollably.
Shen Yiwen protected Chen Aihua in his arms, afraid that she would be afraid when she heard the gunshots. But they threw her in the middle of the gunfire and left her to bear it alone.
When she was in the underground passage, she really, almost believed that Shen Yiwen really believed her.
Chen Xin's heart was like ashes, and he didn't want to stay here any longer, so he turned around and walked out.
Therefore, she did not see that the figure that was fading away fell to the ground the moment she turned around.
Shen Yiwen's arm holding Chen Aihua's shoulder was hanging in vain, and at the moment when he collapsed like a god's mansion, Chen Aihua quickly supported her.
Looking at the woman in front of her who was somewhat similar to Chen Xin, a trace of darkness flashed in her eyes.
Why does Chen Xin always die when she is about to soften her heart? What should he do with Chen Xin!
Chen Xin returned to the small attic, but saw her father's urn lying on the ground with ashes, and the small package that Little Cherry gave her.
As she walked over, the landlord grabbed his broom and hit her as if he had seen something disgusting.
The people on the side who were cold-eyed and laughing at the jokes had long been on the side of the landlord, indifferently watching her being chased and beaten by the landlord with a broom.
When passing by the door of the orphanage, Chen Xin hugged her father's urn in her arms, at least the two people in the world who are very important to her are still around, which is also good.
