Chapter 335 He wished he could break through the brick wall and fight Ji Ying to the death.
After saying this, Ji Ying ignored her reaction and continued to leave with Liang Yizhi.
Shen Jingxiu, in his electric wheelchair, followed him into the courtyard.
He called out "Yizhi!"
Liang Yizhi stopped, looked back at him, and then shook Ji Ying's hand.
"Go rest in the car for a while, I'll be right there."
Ji Ying nodded.
The two went to the study.
As soon as the door closed, Shen Jingxiu said in a deep voice, "Pang Shijun asked me out today, implying that my daughter was in his hands and that he wanted me to exchange her for a USB drive."
Liang Yizhi was not surprised at all.
"After Bai Ning was taken into custody, Old Master Pang personally supervised another DNA test on her. The results showed that she is 'indeed' your daughter. But they couldn't get anything out of Bai Ning, so they had no choice but to take this last step."
Shen Jingxiu immediately understood the implied meaning.
Liang Yizhi not only planted people around Pang Daiyao, but also had the ability to switch biological samples right under his nose.
Given Pang Daiyao's suspicious nature, it would have taken more than a decade of planning to accomplish this.
Shen Jingxiu chuckled, "I gave the things to Ruoheng before I set off back then, but I don't know where she put them. Threatening me won't work. However, I did follow Pang Shijun's hint and acted out a scene of being extremely anxious."
Liang Yizhi nodded. "You acted very well. As for Bai Ning... I originally felt a little sorry for her, after all, she was only greedy for money, which is why I used her. Unfortunately, her ambition grew, which made Yingying unhappy. Now that I've given up this pawn, I have no regrets."
Shen Jingxiu seemed to understand the deeper meaning behind his words, "You want Pang Daiyao to have another life on his hands?"
Liang Yizhi lowered his eyes, and out of habit from years of professional experience, he did not reveal his plans.
"Dad, Pang Shijun has started to threaten you. I doubt you can keep this from Madam Shen for long. Should you tell her?"
Shen Jingxiu frowned immediately, his fatigue revealing a hint of helplessness.
“She’s too deeply poisoned. Unless she can wake up on her own, letting her know Yingying’s identity now will do more harm than good. I… will handle it accordingly.”
Liang Yizhi was preoccupied with Ji Ying, and wanted to leave after finishing his business.
Shen Jingxiu called him back again, saying meaningfully, "Pang Shijun is Pang Daiyao's henchman. He is ruthless and leaves no room for compromise. I know you were classmates, but there are some obstacles... If you want to bring down Pang Daiyao, you must first eliminate his sharpest henchmen."
"I see."
After Liang Yizhi finished speaking, he turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
Madam Shen was standing outside when she saw him come out. She was about to say something, but Liang Yizhi ignored her and left directly.
She felt awkward for a moment, then saw Shen Jingxiu slowly coming out of the door in his wheelchair.
She quickly stepped forward and asked, "Jingxiu, what exactly happened?"
Shen Jingxiu looked at her, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
"The fact that you ask this question, Madam, means you already have an answer you tend to believe. You cherish Shen Ruofu so much, what else can I tell you?"
He moved his wheelchair forward slightly, looked up at his wife of many years, and his eyes held a complex scrutiny.
"Thank you for supporting my career without hesitation for the first half of your life. But, my dear wife, we are not on the same page. You and Shen Ruofu are like a natural mother and daughter now, and I... find it hard to accept."
"You...you're saying this...do you think I'm a bad person too?"
Madam Shen felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Shen Jingxiu did not respond to her words, but looked at Shen Ke instead.
“I know you are loyal, but there is a right and a wrong beyond loyalty. If you know it is wrong and still follow blindly, that is not loyalty, that is blind loyalty. I will not appreciate you, and you will only waste your own life.”
Suppressing his excitement, Shen Ke lowered his head and said, "Uncle, I was wrong."
Shen Jingxiu was not as harsh on him as he was on Madam Shen, and his tone softened after a while.
"Your aunt and I will be separated for a while. I'm moving all my things to the study."
Shen Ke nodded and immediately went to do it.
“Jing Xiu…”
Just as Madam Shen was about to speak, the steward rushed over.
"Sir, Madam, Mr. Xu has arrived."
"What is he doing here?" Madam Shen asked.
The butler bowed his head and said, "Old Master Xu said that the Second Miss is despicable and even schemes against her own fiancé. With such character, let alone marrying into the Xu family, even an ordinary, respectable family would never dare to have such a daughter-in-law. He has come to annul the engagement."
Madam Shen suddenly felt like she had two heads to slam...
A maid who often received small favors from Shen Ruofu told her in the evening that the Xu family had come and that the marriage between the Shen and Xu families had been called off.
Losing her status as the second young lady of the Shen family was already a knife hanging over her head, and now she has even lost the halo of being the future daughter-in-law of the Xu family. This double blow made Shen Ruofu so angry that she wanted to break through the brick wall and go and fight Ji Ying to the death.
However, she quickly calmed down.
To deal with Ji Ying, the Shen family still has one person they can use.
In the evening, when Old Master Shen returned home, he was invited to the backyard by the servants.
Old Master Shen had always favored this adopted daughter, and when he heard Shen Ruofu's pitiful and distorted account, he immediately flew into a rage.
Breaking off the engagement would be a disgrace to the Shen family.
My son is so muddle-headed that he was fooled by that woman.
After being detained last time, he had already restrained himself for several days, but after being provoked by Shen Ruofu, he couldn't suppress his anger and put on his "armor" again.
"Don't worry, little girl, you won't be here for long. I'll handle Ji Ying. I'll make sure Liang Yizhi marries you!"
...
After resting for a day, Ji Ying went to work at the Innovation and Research Center.
Liang Yizhi initially wanted to persuade her to rest for a few more days, but ultimately couldn't resist her insistence, so he had no choice but to personally escort her to the entrance of the Innovation and Research Center.
Jiang Ran knocked on the door and came in after working for less than two hours.
"Sister Ying, Pang Shijun is here."
Ji Ying looked away from the holographic design and frowned slightly.
In the past, when Pang Shijun invited her out, he always chose to meet at a teahouse or other places.
Coming directly to the research center today feels somewhat like a formal visit.
Their intentions are probably more complex than ever before.
She paused for a moment, then said, "Let him in."
When Pang Shijun entered, he was still dressed in a well-fitting suit, with a gentle smile, and he had the air of a gentleman in public.
But how many of Liang Yizhi's opponents weren't wolves in sheep's clothing?
"Long time no see, Mr. Pang."
Ji Ying greeted him with a smile, but made no move to stand up and greet him.
Pang Shijun didn't mind at all and sat down in the guest chair with a beaming smile.
"I've brought money for President Ji. Will President Ji accept it?"
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow but remained silent.
Pang Shijun laughed and said, "You understand the potential and significance of 'Qixia' better than I do. My uncle's generation was used to taking things by force, but that approach doesn't work today. President Ji has the technology to rewrite the landscape, which is an opportunity, but it also carries huge risks. We might as well change our thinking and jointly own and develop it. Some paths are not limited to the one that is on the surface, and some markets are far broader than what is out in the open."
Ji Ying understood.
Unlike his previous aggressive approach, Pang Shijun is now trying to lure her into joining his gray camp.
