Chapter Twenty-Five: Unless She Can Survive Death
Shen Yuchen muffled his voice in pain, and his facial features turned blue.
"Let's go." Ping Yan walked to the iron fence where the two prisons met, gently shook his hand that was fastened to the pole, and said with a light smile: "You go, both of us are locked up here will only make things worse, only when you go out can you save me, you go, I'm here waiting for you to save me." ”
Her hand was cold and soft, like ice satin, and like a cloud of velvet snowflakes, covering his fingers, and instantly pressed the restless anger that was rampaging through his internal organs. He calmed down and looked into the depths of her eyebrows, the faint, serene countless points of sparks seemed to be flowing in her eyes, like stars that could lead people to the direction, ghostly, he held her hand instead, he felt the trembling of her fingers, slowly struggled to withdraw his hand, and could see the subtle changes in her expression, but he just couldn't resist the clenching, his eyes burned, and he promised softly: "Wait for me, at the latest tomorrow at noon, I will come to pick you up." ”
After saying that, he let go of her without hesitation, and his steps were half-lame, but he stepped out unusually calmly.
There was only a pure white back, walking farther and farther in the narrow aisle, in the turbulent and boundless night, like a flying apricot blossom, piercing her eyes red.
This time, Shen Jiuzhou will never abandon her again.
There was a shiny and dark car parked outside the prison, Li Yong was waiting outside, and Shen Yuchen threw the door and sat in the back seat without saying a word. Facing the moonlight, Li Yong looked at the long prison shrouded in the night not far away, and the indifferent woman, suppressed his emotions, and finally only sighed and sat in the driver's seat. He started the car, held the steering wheel, and cautiously glanced at Shen Yu's face in the car mirror that was difficult to distinguish the joy and anger submerged in the shadows, and the words tossed and turned several times, but he still didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say, and maybe he couldn't do anything back.
"Is there any smoke?" After a long time, Shen Yuchen asked coldly.
Li Yong paused, groped in his pocket a few times, and handed over a box of cigarettes in silence.
He rolled out the window, lit a cigarette very skillfully, and smoked it in a big gulp against the window, in the smoke, Li Yong couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and he didn't dare to look at his expression, only knew that he smoked three or four cigarettes one after another, and then threw the last half of the cigarette out of the car window casually, silently leaning against the window frame.
The eldest young master has secretly verified that the murder of Fuchunju that day was committed by the second young master. Li Yong always thought that the second young master who returned from studying abroad would be like all the children of rich families, whether he was unbearable under the protection of his family, whether he was governing the world or seeking a job, it was all smooth sailing. But he sat there now, unfathomable, as if he was about to merge with the darkness, and it seemed that he would not breathe. He suddenly began to believe that the second young master was really capable of killing.
"Tell me the whole story." Shen Yuchen asked casually, the night wind carrying damp dew and ruffling the ends of his hair.
This is also explained by the eldest young master, and he must tell the second young master the whole incident, because he has the right to know, and he will definitely try his best to know.
Li Yong took the opportunity to speak, starting from stealing the poison powder from Ping Yan's baggage and sneaking into the hospital morgue the night before, to the deliberate design of the maid's room, and then to the private negotiations in the concession.
Sparing no effort to design a woman in this way is really unspeakable and heart-wrenching. His voice was a little fluctuating until the end, thinking that Shen Yuchen would be angry, but he never expected that he just quietly heard the last word falling, and then there was a long silence.
As soon as the car stopped at the iron gate, Shen Yuchen rushed out like a string, ran upstairs with a deep and shallow limp, and went straight to the study.
Shen Dashao was sitting in front of the red sandalwood bookcase, as if waiting for him to come, with a bound ancient book in his hand, and he never raised his eyes. Shen Yuchen took a few steps up, and his hands swept on the table in a hurry, and suddenly swept off the book.
His eyes were red, and he scolded viciously, "How can you do this? Is my life more precious than her gold? Should you frame her like that? Could it be that our Shen family must rely on the so-called in-law relationship to gain a foothold? Or am I just a way on your way to power, big brother? ”
Shen Dashao took a picture of the book, straightened up and looked at him impartially, with a slightly cold face hidden with anger, "The second brother has been dashing abroad all these years, how have you ever experienced the Shen family's thousands of difficulties and dangers to survive, you have learned that set of concepts of freedom and equality, you can be filial piety for people's children, the responsibility of everyone's children, how have you ever let go of your heart?" The Shen family is no longer prosperous, and his father has taken great pains to seek the blessing of the gentry and high-ranking officials in order to protect the Shen family. ”
"All this is just your insatiable greed, why are you still involved in this troubled world, isn't it good to live a peaceful and beautiful life in a corner of peace?" Shen Yuchen didn't understand how his father, who had always been wise and skilled, had reached such a point of power.
"It's not that we want to get involved in this dispute, it's that we are born to be human, if we don't fight, we will die, the family will wither, if we don't fight, the Xu family eight years ago will die in vain, and the Shen family will repeat the mistakes of the past."
Eight years ago, on the third day of the news of the destruction of the Xu Mansion, Shen Yuchen found his mother's cold body in the room, and at his mother's funeral, his father was angry and pointed a gun at him, saying that he was a wicked obstacle who should not live in the world, and it was the eldest wife who saved herself from the gun without regard for her life. After that, he seemed to have no place in this family, and his father chose to send himself books abroad, but after eight years of trekking abroad, the hardships of which can only be experienced by those who are in it.
Everything changed like a dream on the pillow, he went overseas with his young hatred for his father, and the Xu Mansion eight years ago was also buried in the dust with the fading of time, he knew that his father's dislike for him came from the Xu Mansion that night was in ashes, but because of the distance, he has not investigated the reason.
When he had a chance to investigate the cause now, no one was willing to mention it anymore, as if the fire had wiped out all traces, and no one really knew the details.
The words of the eldest brother made him feel the inextricable connection between the past and the present again after many years, and also made him understand that his father's drilling camp over the years was originally for revenge and blood hatred. For a while, his heart was very chaotic, and he was kept in the dark like this, and he felt very tormented and powerless to look at the truth vaguely. He closed his eyes and rested for a moment, and finally calmed down, his eyes were empty and blank, and there was an unbearable tiredness in his tone, "You rescue Tao Yan, I have also figured it out, since you think that if I marry Lin Lixue, I will make a great contribution to the Shen family, I will follow your wishes, just marry her, even if I repay the kindness of my parents." ”
"Why didn't you think that one day she would die for you when you killed her?" Shen Dashao walked over slowly, stepped on the beautiful lights, and slowly stopped in front of Shen Yujian.
At the banquet, Shen Yuchen guessed that he had already found out that Fu Chunju's murder was his own doing, but when he asked it so bluntly and rashly, Shen Yuchen was still taken aback and stunned. Shen Dashao smiled faintly, as if he didn't want to listen to his explanation, and sighed blindly: "The dead person is not a flat-headed person, so she must give a serious explanation, unless she can escape death, Fu Da has a great life, or I can't do anything." ”
He is indeed powerless, but he will do his best, whether he lives or dies, he can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven.
Shen Yuchen fell suddenly, supported the desk with both hands, and accepted the uneven shadows. He lowered his head, his facial features blurred in the shadows for a long time, before he raised his head and looked at him with great clarity, "Since the eldest brother said so, there is a way worth trying, no matter what, I will give it a try." ”
Shen Dashao squinted, cut off the blurry color of the lights, and only looked at him quietly for a long time with a deep pool-like gaze before he said: "I heard your sister-in-law say that a few days ago, Dong Changlin was looking for you in the villa and didn't return in defeat, and left the address in Qingzhou in your room before leaving. After today's birthday banquet, I think I will leave for Yiyuan City tomorrow. To tell you the truth, eight years ago, he was occasionally infected with a nightmare, and he has been haunted by his body, unable to extricate himself. ”
"If you can talk about Dong Guosheng, sponsor Tao Yan's medical skills. I found out that Gaoyuan has a batch of unlucky prohibited goods still parked at Yiyuan Wharf, and the French Concession intends to win over Dong Guosheng, I believe that if Dong Guosheng has the intention to save her, he will not make any effort, and then throw some money to patrol the house, and the concession will not bite to death regardless of the face of the envoy. It's just that Dong Guosheng is suspicious by nature, and you have had a holiday with him, so it is unknown whether he will listen to you. ”
Letting Ping Yan cure Dong Changlin's stubborn illness was part of his plan.
It seemed that a large piece of dawn was coming through, and Shen Yuchen's chaotic and stiff body was suddenly lifted above the clouds and sunshine, as if a helpless feather in the deep sea accidentally floated to the water, accidentally swung to the shore, and unexpectedly saw a decisive vitality. He remembered her cold, soft hand, and a dull and sore torrent poured into his somewhat cracked heart, and then quickly into his limbs. He doesn't resist such emotions, and even feels full and sufficient, she is charming but not enchanting, and her own cold and merry eyebrows are so suddenly engraved in his mind, and every stroke is a timeless trace of the pen.
He couldn't hide his joy and walked back, his emotions gradually cooled down, only a few words flashed in his mind, and he slowed down and scrutinized carefully, only to remember that it was the eldest brother's inexplicable trust in her medical skills. He wondered in his heart, when did the eldest brother know about these benefits from her? But after thinking about it, since she is the person arranged by her eldest brother by her side, she naturally knows the roots.
"Second brother, now there is a Western doctor hired in the villa, he will take care of your body, your legs will always heal."
Shen Yuchen pushed open the door, turned his face to the side, and said with a smile: "Thank you big brother for that." ”
