"Shen Jintang, if you dare touch me, I am..."
Before the man in black could finish speaking, Shen Jintang glanced at him coldly, her eyes filled with disdain and determination, as if he were nothing more than an ant under her feet.
"kill."
Shen Jintang uttered a single word, her voice as cold as if it were coming from an ice cellar.
She suddenly waved her hand, her movements swift and decisive. The servants behind her reacted instantly, like well-trained cheetahs, their figures flashing as they moved in unison.
Several figures darted out from the shadows like ghosts, moving swiftly and agilely, instantly surrounding the man in black and Zhou Huanzhi and the others.
Swords were drawn, their cold light flashing, exuding a murderous aura. The icy blades gleamed under the moonlight, drawing ever closer to them.
Zhou Huanzhi and the others turned deathly pale instantly, their eyes widening in terror, their lips trembling slightly, but they could no longer utter a single word.
When Shen Huaixu returned, the courtyard was filled with the smell of blood, and the stench of blood permeated the air, making people want to vomit.
The servants were busy splashing water and cleaning, but the stench of blood seemed to have seeped into every inch of the land, and no amount of washing could wash it away.
Shen Huaixu was pushed in by Shishu. Shishu was also covered in injuries, her clothes were torn and tattered, and there were several bloodstains on her face. Fortunately, she had not broken any bones or tendons; they were just superficial wounds.
He pushed the wheelchair with difficulty, each step appearing somewhat strenuous.
"Front."
Shen Huaixu watched as the corpses filled the courtyard were dragged out, then turned his gaze to Shen Jintang and told Shishu to push him over quickly.
Upon reaching Shen Jintang, Shen Huaixu frowned, a complex emotion in his eyes, and asked, "You killed them all?"
Although he had anticipated that Shen Jintang would take action, he did not expect her to be so ruthless.
Everyone was killed without exception.
"What's the problem?"
Shen Jintang caught a glimpse of Shen Huaixu entering out of the corner of her eye, but continued wiping the swords in her hands without looking up.
Her movements were unhurried, as if the bloody scene just now had nothing to do with her, and she had simply completed an ordinary task.
The swords in her hands gleamed coldly in the moonlight, still bearing traces of undried blood, which she wiped until they shone even more fiercely.
Shen Huaixu was slightly taken aback, then fell silent.
Looking at Shen Jintang's cold and stern face, a complex emotion welled up in his heart.
He knew Shen Jintang was decisive, but this ruthlessness still surprised him.
"Didn't you consider leaving any survivors for interrogation? These people dare to be so audacious, stealing disaster relief funds with their bare hands; there must be a mastermind behind them."
Shen Huaixu did not believe that Shen Jintang could not have thought of this problem.
But she still killed everyone.
What exactly is she planning?
Shen Jintang glanced at him indifferently, said nothing more, and simply stood up and walked out.
Her figure appeared particularly austere in the moonlight.
"Shen Jintang!"
As Shen Jintang passed by Shen Huaixu, Shen Huaixu called out to her.
Shen Jintang paused slightly, slowly turned around, and coldly looked at Shen Huaixu, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
She lowered her head slightly, her eyes filled with scrutiny, as if she were examining an insignificant object.
"You're injured, so just stay in Yanzhou and recuperate." Shen Jintang's voice was as calm as a still pond, without the slightest ripple. "Even if the court were to send down new officials, they wouldn't be here anytime soon. The construction in Yanzhou isn't finished yet, so please take good care of it here."
"Worrying trouble?" Shen Huaixu sneered, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips. "What trouble could I possibly have?" A hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen through everything.
"Recently, many new people have joined the Yellow River engineering project. They are outstanding in their abilities. They can understand the mechanism diagrams at a glance. Oh no, to be more specific, they can understand them without even looking at them. It's as if they made these mechanisms themselves."
"If I'm not mistaken, you arranged all of these people, didn't you?"
Shen Huaixu spoke calmly, his voice already regaining its composure.
Whether he exists in Yanzhou or not, or whether he is here or not, it will not change anything.
He has no control over affairs in Yanzhou now. Even if he stays in Yanzhou, he would only be a puppet in name only, without any opportunity to give orders.
Yanzhou is now completely in Shen Jintang's hands.
He didn't even know where Shen Jintang got so many people from, or when they had quietly infiltrated Yanzhou.
He had no idea about this at all; he had thought that Yanzhou was always under his control!
That's absolutely ridiculous.
"The more you know, the shorter your lifespan is."
Shen Jintang slightly raised her head, slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, her tone calm yet revealing a hint of weariness.
"I really don't understand why you went easy on me alone?"
Shen Huaixu suddenly looked up at Shen Jintang.
Given Shen Jintang's meticulous thinking, she should have killed him directly to prevent future troubles. Why did she leave him alive?
He couldn't understand it.
Or perhaps, as Shen Jintang said, she was indeed very good to him and always showed him mercy.
But why is that?
Shen Jintang merely glanced at him indifferently, then turned and walked out without saying another word, showing no sign of lingering.
Shen Huaixu turned his wheelchair around, his gaze fixed on Shen Jintang's back, and couldn't help but remind him, "Returning to the capital without a transfer order, how many lives do you have?"
But Chen Jintang didn't stop walking; she had already resolutely left the courtyard.
