Chapter 320
But there is a Shen Jiao.
"They told me to tell you, don't worry, this is all for Xuanhu Hall to see, they won't hand you over."
Shen Yinyin was hard not to worry. She had never known there was such a prison cell in the City Lord's Mansion. She was alert in her heart, but she put on an uneasy look on her face and said, "That's good. I really don't know what that person is talking about. If my parents don't believe me, then I really don't know what to do."
"Not really," Shen Jiao said, "With your ability, you can still escape if you have the chance. It's just a matter of a few more people dying."
"Second sister, what do you mean? I know we've had some misunderstandings in the past," Shen Yinyin said, pretending to be strong, trying to hold back tears. "But now we should be united against the outside world. They want to take me away simply because they're impressed by my abilities. If they succeed, it would only harm our parents' interests. We all prosper together, and we suffer together. Don't you know that, second sister?"
Shen Jiao said with a strange expression, "You two are supposed to be family. You both love to tell me 'truths'. But you don't have to be so vigilant. I don't want to harm you, and I don't have the chance to. They asked me to stay with you, probably using me as a hostage to reassure you."
"Second sister, you misunderstood. Dad and Mom must be worried about my fear of the dark."
"Oh, if you say so, then so be it."
It's all fake anyway. Shen Jiao is here to kill her. Shen Gu and the others hope that Shen Jiao will kill her or take away everything from her.
If she did it, whether she handed over a corpse or a living person, they would have an explanation to Xuanhu Hall.
If she can't do it... then Shen Wuyong will try to deceive the world again and make Shen Jiao look like Shen Yinyin and hand her over to Doctor Cui and the others.
She said it so nicely at the beginning, saying that she would use Shen Yinyin to repair her spiritual platform, but what was the result?
There is no such thing as a free lunch. If you are not careful, your mouth will be full of blood.
Shen Jiao could imagine the consequences of his failure. Even if he didn't die at the hands of Shen Yinyin, he would not have a good ending. They would never hand over a lively and eloquent fake Shen Yinyin to Doctor Cui.
But with Shen Jiao's two tricks, can he really get rid of Shen Yinyin?
She looked uncertain.
It's like throwing two fighting cocks into a cage, one strong and one weak. Even if you weaken the strong one to let the weak one win, the strong is still strong and the weak is still weak...
Shen Jiao unceremoniously took up most of the iron bed. Shen Yinyin didn't shy away and simply arched over it, until they were almost back to back. Shen Jiao didn't dare to sleep all night, and Shen Yinyin had dark circles under her eyes. She complained, "This bed is too hard, and there's no quilt."
"I'm going to jail, so I'll just make do with it."
Shen Jiao had someone take this away, even the teapot and snacks were taken away. She's in jail, why make it so comfortable? Are you afraid she won't have the energy to kill people anymore?
Shen Yinyin was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. After waiting for a long time, no one brought food and water, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger.
She is confident. With the abilities she has shown, no ambitious person would hand her over to someone else. But what if... they decide to go all out, unable to keep her themselves and not letting anyone else get her? Wouldn't she be in danger then?
Although Shen Jiao is here, but...
Shen Yinyin frowned and glanced at Shen Jiao casually.
This person is not important at all.
"Did Mom and Dad say anything else?"
"What else?" Shen Jiao rolled her eyes. "You don't think you can do anything big now that you're locked up, do you?"
She said maliciously, "Perhaps soon, you won't be able to be the eldest daughter anymore. If Xuanhu Hall insists on taking you away, my parents will definitely not want to lose this alliance."
"Mom and Dad are not that stupid."
The reason why Xuanhu Tang was on good terms with them was because Shen Gu and his men secretly rescued Jiang Xiaoyue and sent him back to Jiangnan. So in Xuanhu Tang's mind, Shen Gu and his men were people who endured humiliation for the sake of justice.
But once these people knew that Shen Gu and his men still secretly kept a batch of artifacts, they would definitely point their spearheads at them.
Whatever they had done before was now a hypocritical act intended to deceive the world.
Shen Gu and his men will establish their own country in the future. Even if they only have a few counties, they are still capable of becoming the ruler of a country. How could they be so stupid as to give up her for the sake of an alliance?
Does this idiot think that everyone has the ability to ripen crops?
Doctor Cui didn't say all those words, maybe they would still hesitate, but now they know that her strength is more than just a few acres of land. Unless she is crazy, there is no way they would hand her over.
At least he wouldn't hand her over alive.
"Are you jealous of me, second sister?" Shen Yinyin said. "Actually, there's nothing good about having to do so many things every day. I envy you, my sister, you have so much free time to spend with my younger brother. I don't have the time even if I want to, but as long as Mom and Dad are happy, I think it's worth it. The time we spend together as a family is the happiest time of my life. If you can get over your worries soon, I'd be happy to teach you how to do the big things."
Shen Yinyin meant: There is no conflict of interest between us. Your target is Shen Wuyong, and my target is Shen Gou or Qu Rou. Instead of confronting each other, it is better to form an alliance.
Shen Jiao's interpretation was: "Fuck you, who are you calling a boring guy? Even now, you haven't forgotten to taunt me with your sarcastic provocations? You really think I'm a pushover, don't you? Anyone can mess with me?"
Shen Jiao tilted her head and looked at her: "Sister, what you said... is really nice."
"I really mean it."
It would be better to have more helpers, so that we can kill this waste after the task is accomplished.
Shen Jiao:?
Is there any hypocrisy in sarcasm?
Shen Jiao smiled at her: "It's not difficult for me to let go of my worries, but when will you be able to be honest with me?"
Will you tell everything you have been hiding?
Shen Yinyin hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, it's okay to tell you. Qu Rou has the highest favorability towards me right now, so I plan to set her as my target. You can choose the other two."
Shen Jiao was confused for another moment, but she immediately lowered her eyes and said thoughtfully, "Sister, you're really straightforward. Then I can't hide it anymore. My target is Shen Wuyong."
Shen Yinyin had guessed it long ago, but she just didn't understand: "Why choose him? That kid's mind is full of his father and mother, so he's not that easy to win over. You have such a good status, shouldn't you start with Shen Gu and Qu Rou?"
Without waiting for Shen Jiao to reply, she continued, "But it's true. If you want favorability, you have to cater to the other person's needs. You don't have anything you can use, so even if you have a good identity, it's useless. I really don't know whether you are lucky or unlucky. If you were a character who cares about family, the favorability score would probably be full by now."
