Chapter 338 You really want to be reincarnated right now?

Every word they said reached Madam Shen's ears.

Madam Shen stood in the shadows at the corner outside the storage room, with pastries scattered all over the floor at her feet.

She had witnessed the entire scene of "grandfather's kindness and grandson's filial piety."

She never imagined that beneath the gentle exteriors of the old man and the young man, their inner selves could be so twisted.

Old Master Shen's face instantly darkened, and his eyes sharpened.

Shen Ruofu panicked for a moment, but immediately, her eyes welled up with the usual watery tears of grievance and dependence.

"Mom... why are you here... did you hear everything? Please don't be angry, Grandpa and I... we were just too afraid that the Shen family and Yizhi would be manipulated by Ji Ying, so we... that's why we came to rid the Shen family of this menace."

Old Master Shen quickly adjusted his expression, adopting a look of deep sorrow and indignation.

“Jianwei, you’ve come at the right time. Let’s be frank about some things. That Ji Ying is a menace to the core! Since she appeared, has our Shen family ever had a moment of peace? Yizhi is a child we raised from childhood. He was originally loyal to the Shen family, but after she appeared, he became an ungrateful person. Such a woman cannot be kept. Don’t be so blind to right and wrong.”

But Madam Shen still looked at the old man with disbelief, "No matter how bad she is in your eyes, she is still a living human being. Where did you take her?"

Old Master Shen snorted coldly through his nose.

"Don't worry about that. Have Yizhi report her missing tomorrow, and then dissolve the marriage after a while. Ruofu is free right now, so it would be perfect for her to marry Yizhi."

"Dad!" Madam Shen's voice trembled, "How could you even have such a thought? Breaking up someone else's marriage is a sin!"

"You're confused!" the old man said sternly. "Don't you know how important Liang Yizhi's position is to the Shen family? Letting him marry a memorial tablet won't hold him back at all. Only by letting him marry Ruofu can he become a guarantee for our Shen family."

Madam Shen felt as if a fishbone was stuck in her throat, unable to utter a single word.

Shen Ruofu, who was standing nearby, immediately took over the conversation and nestled against Madam Shen with tears streaming down her face.

"Mom, it's because I love you and this family so much that I hate Ji Ying so much. As long as Brother Yizhi is willing to give birth to a child with the Shen family bloodline, I will raise him as my own and will always protect the interests of the Shen family."

"Look at this," Old Master Shen said with exasperation, "even the younger generation is more enlightened than you! Jianwei, starting with you, we need to really take charge of this family in Jingxiu."

Madam Shen stood there, the stubborn light in her eyes gradually fading.

She nodded very, very slowly.

So... they convinced me?

Shen Ruofu and Old Master Shen exchanged a glance, both looking delighted.

“If that’s the case, let Ruofu go back to her room. She’s suffered terribly staying in this storage room for days.”

As he spoke, Old Master Shen was about to pull Shen Ruofu back to the main building.

At this moment, Shen Jingxiu appeared in the backyard.

Madam Shen looked and ran to his side.

I almost tripped because I was in such a hurry.

But she couldn't care less about anything else and immediately said, "Jingxiu, hurry, Yingying is in danger. Father took her away and he wants her to never come back."

Shen Jingxiu's gaze darkened, and he called out, "Shen Ke!"

Shen Ke understood and immediately ordered the family's bodyguards to surround Old Master Shen and Shen Ruofu.

Old Master Shen's expression changed drastically, and he slammed his cane down heavily.

"You unfilial son! What do you think you're doing? I'm your father!"

Shen Jingxiu's face was as cold as frost. "If you break the law, from that moment on, you are no longer one."

"Well, you're going to lay a hand on your father for the sake of an outsider."

As Old Master Shen was about to swing his cane at him, Shen Ke ordered his men to tie up both Old Master Shen and Shen Ruofu.

Twenty minutes later, Liang Yizhi arrived.

The man's face was as cold as ice, and his gaze made Shen Ruofu feel uneasy.

Duan Cheng, standing nearby, casually asked her, "Do you really want to be reincarnated right now?"

Shen Ruofu quickly said, "It has nothing to do with me! Grandpa took it upon himself to release me. I have no idea what he's planning to do!"

Grandpa Shen, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed at the "good granddaughter" he had just been so protective of, his cloudy eyes filled with astonishment.

However, after catching his breath, he turned to Shen Jingxiu and the others and hissed, "You have all been bewitched by that vixen Ji Ying. Only I am clear-headed. I am saving the Shen family!"

Liang Yizhi didn't even bother to give him a glance, only raising his chin at Duan Cheng beside him.

Duan Cheng understood, stepped forward, and without any unnecessary movements, delivered a dull punch to Old Master Shen's chest!

"Well……"

The old man couldn't let out a complete scream; his eyes bulged out, his face turned deathly pale and bluish, and he clutched his chest and fell backward.

The body convulsing violently clearly indicated that the heart had suffered a fatal blow.

However, just as his pupils began to dilate, another subordinate who was waiting nearby quickly stepped forward, deftly tore open the old man's shirt, and attached the electrodes of the portable defibrillator.

"Charging, 200 Joules, clear the area!"

The instrument hummed, and the old man's limp body jolted violently from the electric shock.

A moment later, a faint heartbeat waveform reappeared on the monitor.

Old Master Shen gasped for breath like a fish out of water, his clothes soaked with cold sweat, and his eyes were filled with the fear of impending death as he looked at Duan Cheng.

However, Duan Cheng raised his fist again, seemingly unfazed.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!!" the old man cried out in despair.

He finally understood.

The other party had even prepared all the necessary first aid equipment, clearly intending to torture him until he opened his mouth by tearing him apart at the brink of death.

Liang Yizhi appears to be a refined gentleman, but in reality, he is a ruthless and eccentric man at heart.

“I sold her to human traffickers… They gave me 12,000 yuan, and I didn’t care about anything else. This morning, I heard the driver say that Jianwei was going to the Qingsui Research and Development Center, and I figured she was probably going to cause trouble for Ji Ying. So I told them that the woman following Jianwei and talking to her must be Ji Ying… I don’t know anything else…”

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen could no longer hold back. Her pent-up fear, regret, and anger exploded instantly. She trembled all over, pointed at the old man, and for the first time lost all dignity, she cursed him.

"I've never respected you as my father, and you've turned out to be a selfish and greedy beast, you old beast!"

Mr. Shen was taken aback by her words. Had he become like this in his daughter-in-law's eyes?

Liang Yizhi finally turned his gaze to Old Master Shen, his voice icy cold.

Where will those people sell her to?

The old man collapsed to the ground, clutching his still somewhat aching chest, and shook his head.

"I got to know them through several layers of connections... I... I don't know them personally, I only know they said there's a shortage in the southwest..."

"Why would these human traffickers so easily trust you and take over a living person?" Shen Jingxiu asked.

"Yes... I lied and said... Ji Ying is my granddaughter. My relatives sold her because it was low-risk, and they like to take on this kind of job."

Shen Jingxiu immediately closed his eyes.

Liang Yizhi's eyes narrowed, and he stopped looking at the old man lying limp on the ground, quickly giving the order.

"Notify everyone, the search area is to the southwest. Activate all 'gray informants,' use every available underground channel, and spare no expense to find him! Anyone who dares to withhold even a single piece of information, I will personally go and destroy his lair!"

Duan Cheng took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice, "Understood."

"Teacher Shen, it's time for the Shen family to clean house."

After Liang Yizhi finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door.

"Yizhi!"

Shen Jingxiu called out to him from behind.

Liang Yizhi stopped walking, but did not turn around.

Shen Jingxiu slowly stepped forward in his wheelchair, his voice heavy with reluctance.

“You know, the longer this drags on, the worse it will be for Yingying. Even if a trafficked woman is rescued, very few of hers can return home with a clear conscience…”
