Chapter 114 The Grand Finale Part 2
Grandpa Shan gently patted Shan Rou's shoulder, his tone softened but firm: "I understand your pain, but there are more important things to do right now!"
Shanrou gritted her teeth, her chest heaving violently, but Old Master Shan's words gradually calmed her down.
When Shan Mingyuan saw that Shan Rou had stopped attacking, it was as if he saw a glimmer of hope for survival. A hint of joy flashed in his originally desperate eyes.
Ignoring his pain, he scrambled to Shanxi's side and kowtowed several times, pleading, "Master, spare my life! I... I'm willing to tell you everything I know, as long as you spare my life."
Shan Mingyuan burst into tears, his voice trembling uncontrollably, and his body shaking with fear.
Sun-hee looked at him coldly, condescendingly, as if looking at an ant: "If you dare to conceal or lie in the slightest, I will make you wish you were dead."
Shan Mingyuan trembled with fright and nodded repeatedly, his head bobbing like a chicken pecking at rice: "No, no, patriarch, I will tell you everything I know."
"I just... I just want you to guarantee that I can leave here alive!" Shan Mingyuan cautiously raised his head, looking at Shan Xi with a pleading expression.
Upon hearing this, Shanxi suddenly chuckled, his laughter carrying a hint of mockery and disdain.
"Trying to negotiate with me?" Shanxi smiled and leisurely sat back down in the main seat, then turned his gaze to Shanrou, his tone relaxed, a meaningful smile on his lips: "Shanrou, you continue."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shan Mingyuan's body trembled violently, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"No, no, no! I'll talk! I'll talk!" Shan Mingyuan's eyes widened in terror as he hurriedly begged for mercy, his voice filled with panic and fear.
This woman, Shanrou, has completely lost control; she really dares to kill me!
Shan Mingyuan took a deep breath. As if out of caution, he subconsciously glanced around to make sure no one was eavesdropping before lowering his voice and carefully saying, "Indeed, as you said, after meeting Shan Rou, that person contacted me. He carefully arranged a series of chance encounters so that Shan Rou and I could gradually get to know each other and become friends. Slowly, Shan Rou fell in love with me."
“At that time, my fiancée and I had reached the point of discussing marriage. It was impossible for me to marry Shan Rou, but the Shan family’s wealth tempted me.”
"Furthermore, that man threatened to kill my fiancée if I didn't do as he said."
“Our two families were poor and destitute, and he could kill us as easily as crushing an ant.”
"Besides, the Shan family is so wealthy. Just by marrying into the family, one can acquire so much wealth. Why not?"
"Later, he even helped me come up with ideas, including the plan to switch the children."
As he spoke, Shan Mingyuan's emotions gradually became somewhat manic, and a hint of madness was revealed in his eyes: "The Shan family opened my eyes. Later on, our cooperation was no longer about him threatening me, but about me willingly cooperating with him."
“He did so much for me, and all he needed was the secrets of the Shan Family Ancestral Hall.”
"He told me to find an opportunity to enter the ancestral hall and find out the secrets of the ancestral hall and the philanthropist family."
"However, although I am now the son-in-law of the Shan family and have power second only to the head of the family, the core of your Shan family has always prevented me from having any contact with them."
"We finally had Yu Rou, who could legitimately access the secrets of your Shan family, but things went wrong when she entered the ancestral hall, making you suspect that she wasn't a true member of the Shan family."
"You all know what happened next."
“I swear, I really didn’t do anything to wrong the Shan family.”
"Patriarch, no, Grandmother, please let me go. I really did not betray the Shan family. I really did not do anything to wrong the Shan family."
To be honest, he himself felt a little ashamed.
He didn't accomplish a single thing that person asked him to do; on the contrary, all these years, that person has been helping him behind the scenes...
"Anyone can talk the talk, but do you have any proof?" Old Master Shan looked at him with suspicion.
Upon hearing this, Shan Mingyuan almost burst into tears. He said, "I really didn't. How could someone like me, who can't cultivate, come into contact with the core of your Shan family? I only found out about the blood transfusion recently."
Shan Mingyuan felt that the Shan family treated him like a thief. On the surface, they treated him as their son-in-law and as family, but behind his back, they didn't tell him any secrets and kept all their secrets from him.
Even Yu Rou only came into contact with some cultivation secrets.
There's really nothing else!
"You told him about the blood transfusion?" Shan Xi's eyes turned cold, exuding a strong sense of pressure.
Old Master Shan's legs went weak, and he almost cried: "No, no, no! I only mentioned it briefly, I didn't tell him!"
This is a secret of their family; how could they tell an outsider?
Shanxi glanced at Old Master Shan indifferently; on this point, she still believed in Xiao Huanghua.
After confessing, Shan Mingyuan collapsed to the ground: "Patriarch, Grandmother, I really know I was wrong."
"I was also bewitched by that person, and I was temporarily blinded by evil spirits."
“Although I haven’t accomplished anything great over the years, I haven’t intentionally harmed any philanthropists either.”
Shan Rou stood to the side, her gaze like a sharp blade piercing straight at Shan Mingyuan. Her eyes were filled with overwhelming disgust and resentment. She gritted her teeth and said, "How dare you say that? You used me to enter the Shan family and enjoy the wealth and honor they gave you, but you secretly colluded with outsiders. You are simply an ungrateful wretch."
With tears streaming down his face, Shan Mingyuan knelt down on the ground with a thud, sobbing, "Shan Rou, I know I've wronged you, but I had no choice."
“That man’s power is too great. If I don’t obey, not only will I die, but my family will also suffer.”
"Please, for the sake of our past as husband and wife, spare me!"
Shanrou kicked him away and shouted angrily, her voice hoarse, "Feelings? How dare you even mention the word 'feelings'?"
"You beast who can even cruelly harm your own daughter doesn't deserve to be human!"
"You beast, you deserve to be torn to pieces and ripped to pieces to vent my hatred!"
Shanrou clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, as she suppressed the volcanic rage welling up inside her.
If it weren't for her father and great-grandmother Zeng forbidding her from killing him, she would have torn Shan Mingyuan to pieces by now!
Shan Mingyuan slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with pleading: "I really know I was wrong, I really regret it; but it's too late to say anything now, I only beg you to give me a chance to make amends."
