The group eventually found He Wen near Xie's residence. At that time, He Wen was carrying a large bucket of gasoline and his expression was so resolute that it was almost wooden.
Just as Xu Yanshu was about to say something, he noticed a small white flower on He Wen's chest, and he immediately guessed what it meant.
Jiang Zhengyu promptly spoke up to remind them, "Let's talk about it when we get back!"
This is definitely not the place to talk.
Xu Yanshu nodded in understanding and asked Zheng Yu to drive, while he and He Wen sat in the back.
Throughout the journey, He Wen remained silent, gazing out the window in quiet contemplation, his entire being enveloped in an aura of grief.
Back in the residential area, the group had just sat down when He Wen spoke in a deep voice.
"There's no need for any plans anymore. I must perish together with Xie Junyang."
Every year at this time, he feels a pang of pain in his heart, regretting countless times that he chose to work for Xie Junyang. Otherwise, his family of three would surely have a harmonious and happy life.
The year the accident happened, their daughter was only eighteen years old and had just received her university acceptance letter. He and his wife were planning to take their daughter on a graduation trip, but they never expected that they would be caught in a fire...
Seeing Qin Shengyi standing to the side, He Wen's eyes reddened without warning. If it weren't for the plan to set that fire, his daughter would probably have grown up to be just as beautiful.
To this day, the instigator remains unscathed, and every time I think of him, my heart bleeds with hatred.
Since he's only one person to feed and has no family to worry about, if he can take Xie Junyang down with him, it won't be a loss.
The air grew heavy, and the group fell silent.
Unwavering loyalty ultimately led to the destruction of one's family and death; such a thing is unacceptable to anyone.
After a moment of silence, Xu Yanshu stepped forward and patted He Wen on the shoulder. "Uncle He, I understand how you feel right now."
"But if you really do that, it will only hurt your loved ones and please your enemies. Your wife and daughter certainly wouldn't want you to avenge them in this way!"
This was all his oversight. Although he had made a promise, he never tried to understand He Wen's feelings from He Wen's perspective.
Although that's what he said, He Wen couldn't help but smile bitterly, fearing that in the end they wouldn't be able to do anything to Xie Junyang.
"Don't worry, even if I do something, it will absolutely not implicate anyone..."
"Do you think that's possible?" Jiang Zhengyu interrupted coldly from the side. He stood up abruptly, his tone indignant. "Don't forget that Yan Shu went to see Xie Junyang with you before."
"How could Xie Junyang, who has been able to navigate the business world with such ease for so many years, not have this much sense of caution? If you really act impulsively, you will only end up getting yourself into trouble."
I understand, but what this person did today was really impulsive and foolish. Luckily, they stopped him in time, otherwise who knows what would have happened.
This guy!
Qin Sheng hesitated, then frowned in disapproval. Although what she said wasn't wrong, she still had to consider the other person's feelings.
He Wen hesitated, then his shoulders slumped noticeably, and he looked visibly dejected.
Even mutual destruction is not an option, so can he really avenge his wife and daughter?
Having observed everything without showing any emotion, Xu Yanshu said confidently, "Uncle He, please believe me, I will make Xie Junyang pay the price for his actions!"
"I... I did act impulsively today. Don't worry, this won't happen again!"
Jiang Zhengyu and Xu Yanshu chatted with He Wen for a while longer. Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Yanshu and Qin Shengyi came out of the community one after the other.
The two exchanged a knowing glance, and then, without prior arrangement, both chose to walk.
"Fortunately, we stopped Uncle He in time today, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Xu Yanshu nodded in agreement, then couldn't help but sigh, "If I'm not mistaken, these few days should be the anniversary of the death of the He family mother and daughter."
Death anniversary? Qin Shengyi was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized.
"So he probably acted on impulse, and he wasn't known for being impulsive or reckless in previous interactions."
In fact, he could understand Uncle He's impulsiveness today. Before this, when he learned that his grandmother had been angered to death by Lu Huai, he had also impulsively wanted to die with him.
Recalling his earlier suspicions, he looked up at the person beside him.
"Shengyi, you studied in Baoning before, right?"
After learning that he had studied in Baoning, he specifically asked which school it was. He hadn't paid attention at the time, but as they got to know each other better, he gradually realized that Shengyi might also have studied in Baoning, which is why he kept asking.
Qin Shengyi tensed up for a moment. She took a deep breath and said, "I... Brother Yan Shu, I don't want to talk about this right now."
She didn't want to lie to him about this, but right now she really couldn't calmly talk about what happened back then.
Noticing the other person's discomfort, Xu Yanshu felt it was a bit strange, but he decided to force the issue, so he nodded and changed the subject.
Arriving at the riverbank, the night wind was a bit chilly, so Xu Yanshu naturally took off his coat and draped it over Qin Shengyi.
Looking up at the starry sky above, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Soon, once the cooling-off period is over, I can officially divorce Xie Huanyu!"
At first, he naively thought he could part ways with Xie Huanyu amicably, but he never expected that it would drag on for so long. Fortunately, the cooling-off period is finally coming to an end.
Xu Yanshu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with an unreadable emotion.
Everyone gets married hoping for happiness, but things don't always go as planned.
Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly said something like that. Qin Shengyi turned to look at the man beside her, her eyes thoughtful.
Married for five years, ever since her hospital visit, she thought that Yan Shu still had some feelings for Xie Huanyu, but now it seems that's not the case...
"Brother Yan Shu, do you regret it?"
"There's no point in regretting your choices," Xu Yanshu shrugged nonchalantly, then added after a moment of silence, "but if I had the chance to choose again, I wouldn't get close to Xie Huanyu."
A relationship between people of unequal social standing is destined to be painful; this was his biggest realization after experiencing this failed marriage.
Neither of them said anything more, and the two walked to the apartment building.
At that moment, Qin Shengyi made her choice in her heart. She looked at the man meaningfully and said, "Brother Yan Shu, don't worry, the divorce will definitely go smoothly."
"Well then, I'll take your good wishes!"
