Chapter 301 Doubt
Madam Shen was terrified.
Looking at her husband of thirty years, with whom she had shared a bed, and seeing the ruthless look in his eyes, she felt as if she were meeting this man for the first time!
"Songnian, you...you mean to get rid of that girl?"
Madam Shen said cautiously, "Why not just secretly send her away so that A-Tang can't find her? Why go to such lengths... Besides, we live in a society governed by law now. If the police find out what we're doing... we'll be in big trouble!"
"Don't you know your own son? In all these years, has he ever had a proper girlfriend? Has he ever brought a woman home? From his secretary to his bodyguard, besides Su Xi'er, there hasn't been a single other woman by his side! This shows that your son has long been obsessed with her! Those other women outside are just tools to appease you!"
Madam Shen touched her burning forehead, filled with remorse!
She regretted not separating them sooner, and that her repeated indulgence of her son had led to this unmanageable situation!
"No matter where you send that girl, your son will find her. It's better to just get rid of her completely!"
Shen Songnian's eyes revealed a cunning and ruthless glint. "Wasn't that girl seriously injured and hospitalized? There's no guarantee that nothing bad will happen to her. If she dies, it can only be blamed on her bad luck."
"A short, sharp pain is better than a long, drawn-out one. Even if Ah Tang is heartbroken, she'll be fine in a year or two. Our Shen family can't tolerate this kind of infatuated fool!"
...
On the other side, after learning about Su Xier's situation at the hospital, Shen Zhantang returned to Shen Yunlang's room with a haggard expression.
Looking at her lover's gloomy and pale face, devoid of any emotion, Shen Yunlang couldn't fathom his thoughts. She huddled under the covers, trembling, like a pitiful little white flower about to wither away.
Who would have thought that behind that innocent and adorable little face would be a monstrous demon with a blue face and fangs?
"Brother..." Shen Yunlang looked at the expressionless man with tears in her eyes and a wronged expression.
"Yun'er, are you feeling any better?" After all, she was his younger sister, and no matter how heavy his heart was, Shen Zhantang still had to show concern for her.
Shen Yunlang was delighted to see her brother's concern for her, but she still appeared weak and fragile.
"It's alright... As long as you come back to be with me, I'll be fine..."
"Your parents are at home with you, that's enough."
Shen Zhantang's voice was strained with pain, yet it revealed an undeniable deep affection. "I have something I want to ask you. After I finish, I need to rush back to the hospital to be with Xi'er."
She needs me more.
Shen Yunlang's expression froze, and his once passionate heart instantly turned cold.
"Brother...you've changed...I used to be the person you cared about most! I also need companionship...why couldn't you be by my side when I needed you the most?!" Shen Yunlang accused indignantly.
“Xi’er is my lover. Although she is not my wife yet, she will be soon.”
Shen Zhantang suddenly smiled, a smile tinged with bitterness and sweetness. "But none of that matters. Whether she wants this title or not, whether she's willing to marry me or not, my wife, Shen Zhantang's wife, will always belong to her."
Shen Yunlang trembled with anger, "Brother, you...!"
"Yun'er, I have a few questions to ask you."
Shen Zhantang changed the subject, his gaze darkening, "Why did you suddenly appear at Nightclub that night?"
Shen Yunlang's heart tightened, and she gripped the corner of the blanket.
"That place is a mixed bag, notoriously chaotic, and it's under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Alliance. People from prominent families in Beijing generally don't frequent such places."
Shen Zhantang approached her step by step, "You've only been back in the country for a few days, and you don't even know these messy places in Beijing? You've never even crossed the border, so why did you choose to go there?"
Shen Yunlang's heart was pounding like a drum!
She thought her scheme was flawless, and that with Su Xier seriously injured and having lost her child, Shen Zhantang was too preoccupied to care about the whole story.
Unexpectedly, he noticed something was wrong so quickly.
Shen Yunlang wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and sobbed, "It was...it was my friend who said it was fun there and took me there...I didn't know it would turn out like this, so I just went with her."
Shen Zhantang stopped by the bedside and glanced at her:
"Your friends? I know all your friends in Beijing. Who are they?"
The man was so intimidating, his eyes filled with a dark and brooding aura, that Shen Yunlang almost dared not look him in the eye.
She said a name.
Fortunately, she was meticulous enough to find a friend to go with her beforehand to act as a smokescreen, so that even if her brother checked the surveillance footage, there would be evidence to follow.
Otherwise, we would have been exposed. How close we came to that!
"Even so, how did you meet Gao Sheng?"
Shen Zhantang's gaze was dark and sharp, like that of a hawk. "I have always protected you very well, and you have always lived abroad and have never appeared in public in China."
How did Gao Sheng know you were my sister?
Shen Yunlang's heart pounded with fear. Unable to withstand Shen Zhantang's relentless interrogation, she feigned madness, clutching her head and screaming in anguish.
Hearing the shouts, Assistant Ge, who was waiting outside, rushed in, and soon Madam Shen also ran into the room.
"Second Miss! What's wrong?! Calm down!" Assistant Ge hugged Shen Yunlang's struggling body.
Madam Shen panicked and was at a loss for what to do. "My daughter! What's wrong with you? What happened?!"
"Brother...brother...are you doubting me?"
Shen Yunlang wept bitterly, her eyes filled with such heartbreaking pain as she looked at the man, "Do you... suspect that I... harmed Miss Su?"
I'm your own sister... How could you think of me like that?!
Shen Zhantang frowned. "I didn't say that."
"Mom...life is so meaningless...I might as well just kill myself!" Shen Yunlang went hysterically again.
The usually gentle Madam Shen finally lost her temper, stood up, rushed in front of Shen Zhantang, and slapped him hard across the face!
This was the first time in her life that she had hit her son, and her palms went numb from the blows!
Shen Zhantang has fair skin, and when he turned his face to the side, a striking five-finger mark immediately appeared.
"Shen Zhantang! For that bitch... you even doubt your own sister! You've really gone too far!"
Madam Shen glared angrily at the door, yelling, "Get out! Get out of here right now!"
Shen Zhantang lowered his eyes indifferently, said nothing, and left the room without looking back.
He walked out of the villa with a somber expression. Secretary He immediately came forward and draped his coat over his broad shoulders.
"Mr. Shen, it's cold at night, and you're injured. Please take care of yourself."
"Mr. Shen, it's late and the dew is heavy. Be careful not to catch a cold."
In my ear was Su Xier's gentle voice.
A strong soreness welled up in Shen Zhantang's nose, and she held her breath to keep the tears from falling.
He had countless opportunities to grasp his own happiness.
Ironically, he ultimately tore her apart with his own hands and pushed her into the abyss.
"Mr. Shen, are you... alright?" Secretary He asked, her heart filled with worry as she saw his reddened eyes.
Shen Zhantang named Shen Yunlang's friend, then coldly commanded:
"I need to contact this person, whether she's in China or abroad, and ask her in person what exactly happened that night in the darkness."
Secretary He paused slightly, then nodded, "Understood, I'll take care of it right away."
"Is my wife awake?" Shen Zhantang asked in a hoarse voice.
Secretary He smiled wryly, "President Shen, you asked this question an hour ago."
"My wife hasn't woken up yet."
He knew he would have to change how he addressed people from now on.
Actually, we should have changed our tune a long time ago.
"Let's go to the hospital." Shen Zhantang closed his eyes, concealing his tears, and got into the car.
