Chapter 16: Vengeance

Jiang Hanfeng asked Shen Yingxue several questions, such as how he got out, who he met, and what impression he had.

Shen Yingxue was afraid that he would be under stricter surveillance in the future and would have no chance to move freely, so she did not provide any information and simply answered that she did not know.

Jiang Hanfeng had no choice but to take him back, repeatedly reminding him along the way, "Han Jing has bad intentions towards you, don't listen to him. You are lucky this time, he didn't kill you, if it happens next time, you will be in danger."

Is it so scary?

Shen Yingxue couldn't ask directly what the relationship between Han Jing and his son was. He thought about it in his mind, but couldn't find any clues, "Why did he want to kill me?"

"You killed many people in the past. Although his family members did not die at your hands, they were related to you. He hated you, so he wanted to kill you." Jiang Hanfeng sighed, "If it was someone else, I could still stop him, but Han Jing has a special identity. Senior Brother has long intended to let him be the owner of the manor. Even I can't force him to stop contacting you."

Jiang Hanfeng was referring to the contact within the villa, not the disappearance of Shen Yingxue today. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the matter was strange and not as simple as it seemed.

Han Jing was clearly drinking and chatting with Fu Sheng, so how could he have the chance to trick Shen Yingxue away from the inn? There must be someone else in the dark who could have seized the opportunity and taken Shen Yingxue away.

Jiang Hanfeng thought about it and decided that the servant of Shen Yingxue whom he met today was the most likely person.

Although no one knows why he betrayed Shen Yingxue, he is now pretending to be sorry in front of Shen Yingxue. This further proves that there was most likely some behind-the-scenes reason behind these people's betrayal.

Jiang Hanfeng looked at Shen Yingxue, who was still wearing the mask he had left behind.

The setting sun shone on the golden mask, and the pattern on the mask became shiny, looking like it was made of some extremely precious material, making Shen Yingxue look mysterious.

Shen Yingxue doesn't look like a madman at all.

Jiang Hanfeng felt sorry for Shen Yingxue.

He is clearly a favored son of heaven. Even if he accidentally joins the Demon Sect, he is still the most powerful person in the world. He has tremendous power and lives a wanton life. Although he has a cruel temperament, he also retains a trace of kindness.

Born in such a dark and filthy place as the Demon Cult, Shen Yingxue was able to do this. What would have happened if he had not been abducted by the Demon Cult but went to an ordinary righteous sect?

It’s a pity that fate plays tricks on us.

Shen Yingxue climbed to power by stepping on other people's blood, and now she is in this situation, which can only be regarded as retribution. Jiang Hanfeng grabbed his hand, just like he was afraid that he would get lost before, "Don't do evil things in the future."

Let's start over.

Shen Yingxue asked: "If I don't do bad things now, I won't die?"

Jiang Hanfeng could only remain silent.

Shen Yingxue is still in danger. Fu Sheng, Han Jing, people in the dark, and even several disciples from Yuding Villa want to kill him. They don't care whether Shen Yingxue is helpless or awake or crazy. They just want to use Shen Yingxue's life to get more things.

Jiang Hanfeng knew that Shen Yingxue didn't understand anything, that's why she asked such a question. If Shen Yingxue said this while she was awake, it would be like a mockery to him.

It was his incompetence. He clearly couldn't protect Shen Yingxue, but he still made the promise casually.

Shen Yingxue saw that this man was silent, and probably knew that his ability was limited. He sighed in his heart. Although he didn't do much today, but the fatal news came one after another, Shen Yingxue was numb.

He only had one life anyway, so a few more enemies didn't matter. It was better to stir the water as much as possible.

Shen Yingxue said, "When you were teaching me how to identify acupuncture points, could you explain the question more clearly? They are all similar. Who knows which one you are asking about?"

Jiang Hanfeng was stunned for a moment, "Okay."

While Mosaic was away, Shen Yingxue had a strong desire to socialize. Using his identity as a madman, he could ask anything without arousing suspicion. He also asked Jiang Hanfeng, Jiang Zhiyi, and Han Jing about their detailed identity, background, and specific appearance.

Arriving at the inn, Jiang Hanfeng went to the front desk to check out. The waiter breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Yingxue coming back. He said to Jiang Hanfeng, "Luckily you brought this young man back, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to you."

Jiang Hanfeng glanced at Shen Yingxue and asked, "What's going on?"

Shen Yingxue said nothing.

The waiter said, "Not long after you left, Mr. Shen came out of the room with blood all over his clothes. He then left the shop, only telling me to let you know when you come back, so you don't have to worry."

Shen Yingxue pretended to be confused and blinked.

Jiang Hanfeng asked: "Did he leave on his own?"

The waiter saw that neither of them paid any attention to each other and thought that they were quarreling. But it must be because of something that disappeared. Didn't you see that Jiang Daxia still cared about him so much?

"Yes, Mr. Shen did go out alone."

Jiang Hanfeng thanked her and took Shen Yingxue away.

After leaving the inn, Jiang Hanfeng didn't say a word and remained silent all the way. It was not until he arrived at the gate of Yuding Villa that he said to Shen Yingxue, "Are you pretending to be crazy?"

Shen Yingxue was shocked. After three years of humiliation, his face was no longer as thin as when he first traveled through time. Even though his thoughts were discovered, he remained calm and even subconsciously tilted his head, staring at the other person blankly.

"Shen Yingxue." Jiang Hanfeng called out his name, not knowing what he was expecting.

Except for the time when he was defeated by Shen Yingxue, he had never interacted with Shen Yingxue before. He had never seen how cruel and inhumane Shen Yingxue was. He was only familiar with the person in front of him.

Shen Yingxue opened her mouth, hesitating about how to answer, when she suddenly remembered that it was not right. He was indeed not crazy, but having a mosaic system, what was the difference between that and being crazy?

Shen Yingxue never said that he was crazy. His illness was diagnosed by the doctor. How could it be called pretending?

Shen Yingxue laughed, "Why should I act crazy? Do you think your life is too comfortable?"

He used to communicate with others in a normal tone, but the mosaics interfered too much, causing others to think he was abnormal. Now without the mosaics, Jiang Hanfeng looked into Shen Yingxue's clear eyes, and the vague thoughts in his mind became clearer and clearer, and gradually fell and weighed on Jiang Hanfeng's heart.

"Shen Yingxue..." Jiang Hanfeng sighed deeply, hiding his secret joy, "Let's go, let's go back and talk."

He knew Shen Yingxue's secret, a secret known to very few people, perhaps only he himself knew it.

Jiang Hanfeng was very clear that Shen Yingxue had deliberately revealed her flaws.

Sure enough, he was special in Shen Yingxue's heart.

Shen Yingxue looked at Jiang Hanfeng's changing demeanor in confusion, a little confused. This person seemed to really think that he was pretending to be crazy, but he didn't say it directly. There were not many people in this world who were kind to him, and there were only a few who were not in his grudge book. It was not easy to find someone he could trust, and Shen Yingxue really didn't know how to treat him.

Let’s leave it at that for now. Mosaic will be back tomorrow, and it shouldn’t be difficult for Jiang Hanfeng to see his condition.

If he still chooses to believe that he is pretending to be crazy, then there is nothing that can be done. However, it is also a bit more convenient. Next time, the system will remove the mosaic and let him move freely. At least he doesn't have to try every means to hide from Jiang Hanfeng.

After returning to his residence, the first thing Jiang Hanfeng did was to check Shen Yingxue's pulse. After making sure that although he had vomited blood, his body was not affected, he found new clothes for him and replaced the delicate brocade robe he was wearing.

Then Jiang Hanfeng asked someone to bring Han Jing over.

The mask on Shen Yingxue's face had been taken off. He was half lying on the bed, looking a little listless, with his eyes half closed, leaving a small shadow on his eyelashes. His lips were pale and his face was also very pale. He looked as if he had faded, without the warmth that a living person should have, which made Han Jing's heart even colder.

"Second Senior Brother." Han Jing was extremely nervous and threw away his usual frivolous attitude. He greeted Jiang Hanfeng and did not dare to look at Shen Yingxue behind him.

Jiang Hanfeng interpreted his nervousness as hatred towards Shen Yingxue and the guilt he felt after making a mistake in front of his elders.

"What did you agree on with Fu Sheng?" Jiang Hanfeng asked coldly.

Han Jing glanced at Shen Yingxue and found that she still had her eyes downcast, as if in a daze, and did not give him any instructions. He could only speculate and gave Jiang Hanfeng the answer, "Fu Sheng will find a few corpses, falsify the wounds, and push the dirty water onto Shen Yingxue. I will spread rumors in the villa, let everyone know that Shen Yingxue is in Yuding Villa, arouse public anger, and Fu Sheng will put pressure on her, so that even the two senior brothers will hand over Shen Yingxue."

Shen Yingxue seemed not to care, but she was actually listening attentively.

After Han Jing finished speaking, he couldn't help but look over there.

As expected of his enemy, the plan they made was vicious!

Shen Yingxue also memorized Han Jing's name and put it together with Fu Sheng. Although this matter has not yet been implemented, it is because he is lucky. If he had not happened to see it, he would definitely be powerless to resist and could only let them slaughter him.

Jiang Hanfeng’s reminder was correct. We should be careful with Han Jing.

After Han Jing finished speaking, he immediately felt Shen Yingxue's gaze falling on him like a knife. His legs began to tremble. If Jiang Hanfeng hadn't been here, Han Jing would have collapsed and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Nonsense!" Jiang Hanfeng suppressed his anger and rebuked him, "Is Fu Sheng such an easy person to get along with? What you are doing is simply courting death. Be careful or you will fall into his trap!"

Han Jing lowered his head and stood there stubbornly.

"Get out." Jiang Hanfeng was extremely disappointed with him.

Shen Yingxue suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

Han Jing's legs were shaking even more violently. If it weren't for the loose clothes covering them, he might have been mistaken for having to pee urgently.

Jiang Hanfeng looked at Shen Yingxue, his expression much better, "What do you want to say?"

Shen Yingxue said: "I want to talk to him alone."

Years of experience in reading novels and watching TV dramas have told Shen Yingxue that this matter must be handled carefully, otherwise it may be exposed in the future and deal him a heavy blow.

Jiang Hanfeng looked at him for a while, then took the initiative to give in, "I'll just wait outside."

Han Jing was completely confused. Why would Second Brother listen to his adoptive father? Could it be that Second Brother had already caught up with the girl?

He looked at Jiang Hanfeng's position and called out very softly, "Godfather."

Shen Yingxue's pupils trembled!
