Chapter 307 Shen Yunlang's Purpose
The deep, harsh voice, like a muffled thunderclap brewing a deafening roar, struck Gu Yao hard on the head. She shuddered and turned pale with fright.
The veins on the back of the man's hand bulged. "Can't you understand human language? I told you to get lost."
Gu Yao got off the bus in a panic, but she lost her balance and fell.
The car door closed tightly, and the Bentley sped away, spraying her face with exhaust fumes.
"Miss Gu."
Secretary He threw the suitcase in front of her and glared at her coldly. "I advise you not to tell the Second Miss about President Shen's visit tonight."
Otherwise, you will bear the consequences.
After speaking, Secretary He got into another luxury car, and the three black sedans drove off one after another.
Gu Yao got a mouthful of dust again, and she sat on the ground and screamed angrily!
The Bentley sped towards the Shen family's residence.
Shen Zhantang remained silent for a long time, his face as gloomy as the cold night outside the window, his jawline tightening more and more, filled with intense anger.
The bodyguard driving the car saw this handsome, dashing, yet incredibly sinister face in the rearview mirror, and knew that something big was about to happen. He didn't dare to breathe loudly.
"Xiao You." Shen Zhantang's voice suddenly turned cold.
The bodyguard driving the car straightened his back. "Mr. Shen, what are your orders?"
The man gazed out the neon-lit window, his eyes chillingly cold. "Among my bodyguards who have served me for years, is there anyone who is particularly close to the Second Miss?"
Xiao You was secretly startled, then pondered for a while, "I haven't noticed anyone getting close to the Second Miss before... After all, the Second Miss has been studying abroad for many years, so there's no way she could have any contact with her normally. Even if there were, with the Second Miss's noble status, how could people like us possibly get close to a rich young lady?"
Shen Zhantang kept staring out the window with a cold gaze, without saying another word.
It was already late at night when we arrived at the entrance of the Shen family villa.
Secretary He got out of his car, immediately climbed into Shen Zhantang's vehicle, and swallowed hard.
"Mr. Shen, are you going in now to confront the Second Miss?"
Shen Zhantang remained expressionless. "What are you trying to say?"
Secretary He lowered her voice: "President Shen, we now know that the person who suggested going to Nightfall that night was Second Miss herself. Not only did she lie to you, but she also used Miss Gu as a cover to try and deceive everyone. These are all facts that she can't deny. But, who told her about Nightfall?"
Looking at it this way, there are bad guys among the crowd!
"You mean, I have someone around me who provides her with information?"
In Shen Zhantang's dark, inky eyes, a raging fury capable of incinerating everything ignited. "It seems that I not only told her that Nightfall is Donglian's territory, but also that I have a grudge against Donglian's crown prince, Gao Sheng, and that it's a grudge where one of us is destined to die."
Secretary He nodded thoughtfully, then frowned. "The Second Miss is lying again, and she's deliberately trying to get close to Gao Sheng, putting herself in danger... What exactly is she trying to do?"
Could it be... that the Second Miss is being willful and spoiled again, trying to test whether she's the most important person in your heart using this absurd method?
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhantang yanked his tie hard, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always doted on Shen Yunlang the most. Whatever she wants, he will give it to her within 24 hours. There is even a star in the sky named after her.
Even though she was abroad, they kept in touch almost every day. Knowing that she couldn't get used to the food there, he would airfreight vegetables, snacks, and high-end desserts from Beijing to Y country every week, just so that his sister, who was far away from home, could eat better. He didn't care about manpower or cost.
Even so, Shen Yunlang still doubted whether he spoiled her enough.
A little bit of capriciousness is cute and endearing.
Being too willful makes people dislike you.
Secretary He, observing the situation, lowered his voice further:
"However... there is another possibility."
The man's voice was hoarse and dull, as if it had been repeatedly rubbed with sandpaper: "Just say what you're thinking."
Secretary He took a deep breath. "Second Miss, is this... like trying to drag Miss Su into this?"
After saying that, he immediately closed his eyes, looking as if he was preparing to die a heroic death.
This would undoubtedly destroy the innocent and naive image of the second young lady in President Shen's eyes. But this matter has too many coincidences and too many suspicious points. If we don't investigate it thoroughly, what will be the point of President Shen's efforts over the past few days?
Mr. Shen's child died under mysterious circumstances, didn't he?
Shen Zhantang suddenly felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his chest. He clenched his fists tightly, trying to compose himself.
"Even so, how could she have predicted it so accurately... I would definitely have brought Xi'er with me that night?"
Even if she bets right, I'll still bring Xi'er with me that night. But Xi'er is incredibly skilled; what would she be doing this for?
Secretary He looked at the man's pale, taut, handsome face and sighed in distress.
He knew that President Shen was intelligent and wise, and that the president couldn't possibly be unaware of what he had thought of.
Mr. Shen simply refused to think that way. He couldn't accept from the bottom of his heart that his younger sister, whom he had watched grow up, was a dark, vicious, and cunning ghost!
Secretary He didn't know what else to say and was about to get out of the car when Shen Zhantang grabbed her arm.
"I'm not going tonight."
"Aren't you going to confront the Second Miss?"
"I need more evidence to support your hypothesis."
Shen Zhantang pursed his lips, his usually volatile temper now eerily calm and rational. "I think Gao Sheng knows more than we do. Finding him is the key."
Secretary He hesitated before asking, "President Shen, if—and I mean if—the instigator of this whole thing is really the Second Miss, and she's just unhappy with Miss Su and is targeting her, what would you do?"
"Xi'er is seriously injured, and our child... is gone too."
Shen Zhantang's eyes were red as if he had been crying blood. "This debt must be settled by someone, and someone must pay for it."
Secretary He felt a mix of emotions.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Go and take care of it."
The man leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.
Secretary He nodded vigorously, "Understood!"
...
Seeing that Shen Zhantang was unlikely to come tonight, Shen Yunlang finally couldn't keep up the act any longer. She angrily threw off the covers, got out of bed, and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
She was starving and ate the exquisite meals brought by the servants in big mouthfuls. She drank all the calming ginseng soup that Madam Shen had personally cooked in one go, wiping her greasy mouth with her nightgown, not caring about her ladylike demeanor at all.
Just then, a knock sounded on the door—
Shen Yunlang shuddered, thinking it was her brother coming to see her. Her voice trembled with anticipation.
"Is it...my brother?"
"Second Miss, it's me."
A low, familiar voice came from outside the door.
It's Jin Can, the little bodyguard who's with Shen Zhantang.
"Come in."
Shen Yunlang rolled her eyes in disgust, but she still immediately ran into the bedroom, lay back on the bed, and put on a delicate and fragile look.
Perhaps afraid of being seen, Jin Can quickly pushed the door open and entered. After closing the door, his heart was pounding, and he couldn't wait to run into Shen Yunlang's room.
