Chapter 296 He was selfish and foolish
Only now does Shen Zhantang truly realize that Su Xier truly loves him.
She was madly in love with him.
If it weren't true love, how could he cherish their child so much? She wholeheartedly wanted to protect the child, but he cruelly sent her and their child into the tiger's den, pushing them into the abyss.
"Why...why?!" Shen Zhantang roared in self-reproach, his shouts echoing through the basement.
Why didn't he choose Xi'er when Gao Sheng gave him a choice between the two that night?
Why did he insist on bringing Xi'er along that night? She clearly showed her unwillingness, so why did he force her? Why couldn't he just trust her this once and go along with her this once?!
He is a sinner for all time, the kind who cannot repent even when kneeling before Su Xier.
He simply couldn't forgive himself for his selfishness and stupidity.
The man trembled violently, almost scared out of his wits.
He felt that their young master was in deep trouble. Who would have thought that the humble bodyguard would be the person most cherished in President Shen's heart?
But since he loves her so deeply, how could he bear to use her as a bargaining chip?
This is a total rip-off!
Seeing that Shen Zhantang was in such a terrible mood, with anger almost consuming his reason, Secretary He asked on his behalf:
"The fact that Gao Sheng allows you to stay by his side means you must be one of his trusted henchmen, right?"
The man trembled and dared not utter a word.
"Silence means consent."
Secretary He stared at him coldly, "Well, our CEO Shen wants to do good deeds for our unfortunate young master who passed away. Now, I'm giving you a chance to save your life."
"You must know where your young master is hiding. Lead us to him."
The man's vision went black, and his body trembled like a leaf.
In his view, being a traitor meant certain death, betraying the young master meant certain death, and disobeying Shen Zhantang also meant certain death; it was just a matter of how he wanted to die.
Shen Zhantang had no patience for even a second. He pulled out a gun from behind his back and pressed it hard against the man's forehead.
"If you don't take me to Gao Sheng, I'll send you to hell right now!"
The man was on the verge of tears, but nodded repeatedly.
...
If Lin Zhixin hadn't called Xie Jinghuai to tell him about the new car inspection meeting today, he would have completely forgotten about such an important event.
After leaving the hospital, he immediately headed to the research and development department of the Xie Group.
All the way, he stared blankly out the window, recalling Jiang Shiyuan's emotional breakdown last night, remembering her being held in Fu Chenzhou's arms, remembering her blood transfusion experience, and how she, like him, had the rare Rh-negative blood type...
His eyes were deep and somber, and his heart clenched with each beat.
It was filled with a subtle, tinging pain.
Upon arriving at the R&D department, Lin Zhixin jogged along, like an enthusiastic young girl, to personally greet Xie Jinghuai.
"Brother Jinghuai, I can confidently tell you that the new energy vehicle I led our group's R&D department to design is far ahead of other domestic car companies in terms of both exterior design and technology!"
Lin Zhixin's eyes sparkled with excitement. She habitually stepped forward and intimately hugged the man's arm, shaking it playfully. "Your concerns before, Brother Jinghuai, now seem completely unnecessary. So what if Nora isn't here? She's just a car designer. The most important thing about new energy vehicles is performance."
The chip I led my team to independently develop is absolutely the most advanced on the domestic market right now. Other smaller car manufacturers will probably be scrambling to buy our chips in the future!
Lin Zhixin got more and more excited as she spoke, her lively and spirited demeanor as if she were telling Xie Jinghuai:
See? You've struck gold!
However, the next second, unexpectedly, Xie Jinghuai coldly pulled his arm away from her embrace, looking at her with icy eyes:
“Director Lin, I’ve told you many times before that you should address people by their titles in public. Even if you don’t use titles, you should still call me brother-in-law.”
Lin Zhixin's breath hitched, and she pursed her lips in grievance.
"Furthermore, refrain from such overly intimate behavior. Our relationship is inappropriate." Xie Jinghuai's brows furrowed more and more, his handsome, stern face turning gloomy.
Lin Zhixin was both annoyed and secretly flustered, and tentatively asked:
"Mr. Xie...you don't look well, is something wrong?"
Xie Jinghuai paused slightly, looked ahead, and strode forward. "It's nothing. Didn't we want to see the new car? Let's go."
