Chapter 191 Please Protect Her
Ever since he vomited blood in the laboratory, Shen Lang seemed to have aged ten years overnight. When he passed by the corridor, he could hear bursts of coughing coming from the door.
The servants tactfully lowered their heads and hurried past, trying not to stop at the door.
Hearing that Jiang Ran came to visit the old man, Shen Yang smiled and said helplessly: "Don't let her in, I'm afraid that grandpa will be angry to death by her."
After receiving the order, Zheng Li went out to reply to Jiang Ran: "Miss Ranran, the old man is still in a coma. Why don't you come again next time?"
Don't you want to see her anymore? Jiang Ran sighed in disappointment and didn't force it: "Okay, is Big Brother busy now? I want to see him."
After knowing Shen Yang’s thoughts, this request was even more difficult to achieve than meeting the old man: “Sorry, the eldest young master is very busy now and has no time to meet guests.”
Jiang Ran sighed: "I'm not a guest." She muttered a few words and turned away.
Zheng Li wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the old man's face, adding an endless sense of vicissitudes.
Zheng Li turned around and looked at the second-floor window.
There, the young man stood tall, watching the girl's back as she left, without moving for a long time.
This morning, Shen Lang received a package.
In the apocalypse, who would still use express delivery? The package was left at the door, with Shen Lang's name and the recipient's address written on it.
There is no sender information.
There was only a small USB flash drive in the package, and the contents inside were unprocessed, recording everything that happened in the living room of Si Xu's apartment.
Including what that person said, Shen Yang likes Jiang Ranran.
Zheng Li was glad in his heart that no matter whether Si Xu showed mercy to the Shen family for Jiang Ran's sake or simply did not want to tarnish Jiang Ran's reputation, he deleted some unnecessary information from the video he released to the public.
otherwise……
Now the Shen family and Jiang Ran will become the laughing stock of everyone in the base.
…
The girl walked very slowly, her slender figure bathed in the sunset, her shadow stretched out long by the orange-red light, making her look even more lonely and pitiful.
The young man raised his right hand and gently pressed it on the floor-to-ceiling window, as if he wanted to touch the sunset outside the window through the glass.
Until the girl's figure completely disappeared from sight.
He put his hand down and turned around without hesitation.
…
The coughing sounds in the room were intermittent, and the old man's heavy breathing could be heard from time to time.
Being schemed against by Si Xu was certainly not enough to make the old man so decadent.
After experiencing a turmoil last night, when the old man woke up, he was told that Xie Chengzhi and Luo Rui had left Xiling Base overnight.
Xie Chengzhi ran away.
So, he waited until midnight last night, but did not receive any support from Group Z.
How could there be support? The people in Group Z didn't even get the signal to move.
Upon hearing the news, Shen Lang, who had just woken up, coughed up blood again and lay dejectedly on the bed.
"Grandpa." Putting down the medicine bowl, Shen Yang sat down beside the bed and looked at the old man, "Ranran just came to see you."
Chen Lang coughed and sneered: "Look at me? Are you looking at me as a joke? Cough cough!"
"Grandpa, it's wrong for you to plot against her."
"Wrong? Haha, Ah Yang, when did you start to worry about right and wrong?" Chen Lang closed his eyes and sneered, feeling resentful towards his grandson. "What is right? Was it right for you to plot against Pei Wan'er back then?"
The old things were brought up again. Shen Yang lowered his eyes to hide the darkness in his eyes. He changed his sitting posture and leaned back in the chair somewhat leisurely.
"grandfather."
He exhaled, feeling that it was time to make a break, or at least, it was time for him to understand what he really wanted.
"I used Pei Wan'er because, at that time, apart from Si Xu, I couldn't find anyone in the entire base who could compete with Si Xu."
"What are you fighting against Si Xu for? Shen Yang, you're willing to sacrifice your life to crush the Yu family. What's your reason? Is it just to make it easier for you to have affairs?!"
The old man became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He pounded the bed, his eyes bloodshot.
"Power! The power you worked so hard to get! Are you going to give it all up for a woman?!"
"Grandpa." Shen Yang smiled bitterly, "You are wrong."
Power? Haha, what use is that thing other than adding to the burden? Only those who are blinded by it will chase it madly.
Shen Lang was stunned: "It's not power? Haha." As if he heard a joke, Shen Lang laughed, "If it's not for being above ten thousand people, what are you doing it for? Shen Yang, tell me!"
After a long silence, a sad arc appeared on the corner of Shen Yang's mouth: "I want to be above everyone else, just so... when necessary, I can protect those I want to protect without being bound by you or controlled by anyone else."
To make the Shen family stand at a high position and to control their own power, they must...
He wanted a lot of things, but he wanted so much, but only to protect that person.
"For me, status, power—everything I gained through Pei Wan'er and Si Xu was just for her."
The old man stared blankly at his eldest grandson, as if he had never recognized the man in front of him.
"Grandpa, do you have nightmares?"
“…”
"I will." His usually uninhibited voice was tinged with bitterness. "Every night, I dream of my aunt, the blood covering the walls, and her eyes that refused to close."
Hearing this, the old man's face cleared of hostility, leaving only tension and uneasiness: "You... you saw it?"
"I was in the room when my aunt died." As I had nightmares so many times, I gradually got used to them and could talk about them casually, "Grandpa, I was in the room that day."
After overhearing the conversation between his grandfather and his subordinate, he sneaked into the woman's room and gave her a hint.
"Aunt, Grandpa has invited a hypnotist to come over and he wants to hypnotize you... What should we do?"
The young child does not quite understand what the woman is holding on to, let alone what the old man is persistent about.
After hearing this, the woman just smiled gently and took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Yangyang, have you met your sister Ranran?"
He nodded: "Ranran is still in the hospital. Grandpa promised her that he would let her come to see you when she is discharged."
Since being taken back to the Shen family, the old man has locked his daughter in the room and strictly limited the number and time of meetings between the mother and daughter.
Shen Muxin would beg and argue at first, but as time went on, she seemed to slowly accept this lifestyle.
"Is that so?" She smiled thoughtfully, "Yangyang, do you like Ranran?"
He was stunned and blushed: "She always beats me, she is not a lady at all..." But now the little girl was lying on the bed, her body full of tubes, dying, and he felt distressed again.
The woman chuckled and touched his head: "Ranran is a good child. She has suffered a lot. Yangyang, you are also a good child. If one day, your aunt is gone, please protect her well..."
"Aunt?" He was bewildered. "She's gone?"
The woman was about to say something, but suddenly stopped.
They both heard footsteps in the corridor.
The woman was panicked for a moment, pulling and stuffing him into the cabinet.
He squatted in the cabinet and heard her questioning the old man and her crying in desperation through the narrow gap.
Grandpa said that women are very weak and will be obedient if you use some tricks.
He felt that it was wrong and retorted a few words, and was punished by the old man with a ruler.
Later he thought that the rule that the old man had said, which he regarded as the truth, was shattered to pieces by his own daughter.
No matter how much she begged, her father did not give up his plan to interrogate her. When the hypnotist came in, the woman, who had always been gentle and obedient, resolutely slammed herself against the wall.
Blood splattered.
The woman's body slid softly to the ground, her unfocused eyes looking directly in his direction.
The boy bit his hand until it bled, barely suppressing his scream of terror.
