Chapter 68 Making a Decision

Shen Xizhen actually knew that Shen Yang had an illegitimate child a long time ago, but she never said anything or even took the illegitimate child seriously.

But now that the truth is right in front of her, Shen Xizhen's eyes are full of mockery.

It turns out that from the very beginning, Shen Yang never intended for them to go back.

No wonder they've given me whatever I wanted all these years, even so much money.

“Brother, we both have a lot of savings and jobs. Given our situation, we should be able to live comfortably here.” Shen Lin earnestly analyzed the matter with Shen Xizhen.

Shen Xizhen glanced at Shen Lin beside her with annoyance. If Shen Lin could think of a problem, how could she not?

“What you said is all correct and there’s nothing wrong with it, but you’ve forgotten one thing. To our father, what we’re doing is tantamount to betrayal. If he finds out, he’ll take action against us, and then we’ll all be doomed anyway,” Shen Xizhen said with a bitter smile.

Shen Lin rolled her eyes at Shen Xizhen and said irritably, "Brother, I have to say you're really an idiot. What they're doing now is huge, so huge that they could die at any moment. If we want to escape from this place, there's only one way: to kill Shen Yang."

None of them wanted to die, so the only one who could die was Shen Yang.

Shen Lin's words plunged Shen Xizhen into silence. If what Shen Lin said was true, then there was indeed something wrong with this matter.

but……

"You mean we should cooperate with them?"

“That’s right, let’s go find Gu Yunting and Zheng Jiayu. We’ll cooperate with them, and that way we can get rid of Shen Yang and live a good life without worrying about him coming after us.” Although Shen Yang was their father, she had already lost her father when she chose to use their lives to fill the void.

"Okay, then we'll do it your way."

Time is running out for Shen Xizhen and the others.

So after discussing it, the two went to see Zheng Jiayu together that night.

Zheng Jiayu became somewhat wary when she saw the two of them suddenly come looking for her.

Looking coldly at the two people at the door, Zheng Jiayu asked, "What are you doing here? Why did the two of you suddenly come together? Are you up to something?"

Shen Lin looked at Zheng Jiayu in front of her with an annoyance: "Zheng Jiayu, we have something to discuss with you. We want to talk to you properly. You don't have to be in such a hurry to talk to us. Think about whether you want to agree to our request first."

Seeing Shen Lin's expression, Zheng Jiayu raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

"The matter between our Shen family and your Zheng family."

Upon hearing that it was related to their family, Zheng Jiayu's expression immediately became extremely serious. She looked at the person in front of her intently, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

When Zheng Jiayu looked at her like that, Shen Lin tensed up immediately and said with a headache, "What are you looking at?"

"I'm curious. You know, you weren't that nice to me before, but now you're talking to me like that and even coming to see me. It makes me feel like you're being overly friendly for no reason, and there's something fishy going on," Zheng Jiayu said earnestly to Shen Xizhen and his sister across from her.

Shen Xizhen was so angry she laughed, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zheng Jiayu.

“We came to you because we really want to cooperate with you. We’re not joking with you, fooling you, or trying to cheat or scheme against you.”

Zheng Jiayu still found it somewhat unbelievable, and even looked at the brother and sister in front of her with a headache: "You didn't treat me like this before. Weren't you going to scheme against me and take advantage of me? You suddenly came to cooperate with me, and I'm really not used to it."

Shen Xizhen looked helplessly at Zheng Jiayu in front of her and said with a headache, "We just received some messages from my father today, but we are unwilling to do as they say. However, we will be targeted by him, so we want to cooperate with you."

“You want to find something, or even target my people. My sister and I just want to live a good life and have a peaceful life. We don’t want to be used as scapegoats by the Shen family. I’ve already told you about this. Zheng Jiayu, you really need to think about this matter carefully.” Shen Xizhen told Zheng Jiayu her thoughts.

After listening, Zheng Jiayu looked at the person in front of her with some hesitation, and said thoughtfully, "What you're saying is indeed what I want, but how can you guarantee that what you're saying is true and not a lie?"

Shen Xizhen thought about it seriously, but still couldn't find the answer she wanted. So she said to Zheng Jiayu in front of her, "What kind of guarantee do you want?"

Seeing that Shen Xizhen seemed serious, Zheng Jiayu looked around and knew that now was not the time to talk properly, so she led the two into the house.

Sitting in her chair, Zheng Jiayu looked at the two of them: "What news did you get that made you so anxious to cooperate with me, your pawn, and also to kill your own father?"

Shen Lin said with a wry smile, "Today I received a call from my father. He didn't say a word of extraneous information, but only a few words: according to the lie, during the Spring Festival this year, we will eliminate all the people of high status here, not just one or two, but all of them."

Zheng Jiayu looked at Shen Lin in front of her with a surprised expression, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

What exactly does Shen Lin's father want to do?

Why would he do such a thing? Wasn't he worried at all about the backlash when he did it?

With a slight frown, Zheng Jiayu said, "Since that's the case, you can tell me how you want to cooperate with me. As long as you tell me, I will definitely agree to anything that I can win."

"We need to wait for Gu Yunting to return before we can discuss the specifics. There's no point in saying anything now," Shen Xizhen said with a wry smile.

Zheng Jiayu couldn't help but roll her eyes and said irritably, "Since you know that I'm useless, why did you come to me? Why didn't you just go find someone else?"

"Only Gu Yunting can do this, since it's aimed at you. Aren't you worried that Shen Yang might do something about it?"

To be honest, Shen Xizhen's words really hit the nail on the head.

He really needs to do something.

Shen Xizhen also knew that she couldn't accomplish this alone.

"I came to you just to ask if you were willing to cooperate with me. It seems that this cooperation will have to continue."

"Of course we should continue. After all, opportunities to find people like this on our own are rare." In Zheng Jiayu's view, Shen Xizhen and his sister are definitely easy targets, the kind of easy targets that are hard to refute.

Being stared at like that made Shen Xizhen a little annoyed.
