Chapter 17: Deep Love between Father and Son

In Shen Yingxue's eyes, Han Jing looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, short in stature, always liked to laugh, looked very naughty, and not the dull type.

Adults are always less wary of children. Shen Yingxue had never been on guard against Han Jing, nor did she expect a child to be able to help. She felt more at ease and was concerned about him.

As a result, Han Jing suddenly turned into a grown man! He was not as childish and cute as before. His innocent smile turned into a playboy and he looked like a man who would not abide by the rules. If Shen Yingxue had known that Han Jing was this kind of person, she would definitely be on guard against him!

Shen Yingxue looked at Han Jing steadily, and finally understood why the system gave fewer mosaics when Han Jing appeared.

It turns out that Han Jing's entire image is censored!

"I don't have a son like you!" Shen Yingxue also answered him in a low voice.

"Adoptive father!" Han Jing took two steps forward, not daring to kneel or speak loudly. He didn't even dare to get too close to Shen Yingxue. He stopped a few meters away and looked at Shen Yingxue with an anxious and guilty look, trying to make Shen Yingxue feel his sincerity. "This is a misunderstanding. It is not my intention to discredit my adoptive father!"

Han Jing is very tall, about the same height as Shen Yingxue. Shen Yingxue has always thought that she is quite young, and she felt very uncomfortable when she heard Han Jing call himself that.

How old was the original owner? Why did he have such a big adopted son?

Han Jing saw Shen Yingxue's deep eyes and remained silent. "Second Brother is still outside, so it's really inconvenient to explain. I've made a mistake once, and I have no intention of betraying you. I'm willing to swear on the spot that if I have any bad intentions towards my adoptive father, let me be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

Han Jingyan's words were sharp and his eyes were firm, and Shen Yingxue's thoughts also wavered.

Han Jing had been behaving well, looking quite loyal and not guilty at all, but he was very anxious to be misunderstood. The original owner's intuition was very useful, and Shen Yingxue also saw his demeanor with her own eyes, so she believed him for the time being.

"Why do you want to collude with Fu Sheng?" Shen Yingxue asked in a normal voice.

This sound was loud enough for Jiang Hanfeng to hear.

Han Jing saw that Shen Yingxue stopped talking and thought that she would not cause him any more trouble today. As for what will happen in the future, it depends on his adoptive father's mood. He took a breath and spoke in a steady tone. The trembling and anxiety disappeared. He still spoke in that slow and leisurely tone with a rising ending: "Master Shen doesn't know? That's right, Master Shen really shouldn't know... If there is one person in the world who wants you to die the most, besides me, it's only Fu Sheng."

Shen Yingxue smiled: "What is my relationship with you?"

Han Jing was frightened when he saw his smile. Since the cult was gone, his adoptive father has become more and more terrifying. After the crisis just now, Han Jing's mind cleared up and he was able to handle the current situation.

Did the stepfather mean by this that he was reminding him that he should follow the father's example and not act on his own?

Han Jing looked at Shen Yingxue pitifully, and said in a very cold tone: "Enemy."

Shen Yingxue found his behavior quite interesting and laughed quietly for a while before continuing, "What is your relationship with Yuding Villa?"

Han Jing was silent.

Is his adoptive father testing his loyalty?

Shen Yingxue got up from the bed. He was not wearing an outer robe, and the material of his inner robe was very soft, making him look a little disheveled. His hair was not combed neatly, but simply tied up with a headband. If an ordinary person dressed in such a lazy way, he would definitely not look dignified, but Shen Yingxue's every move exuded a captivating power, occupying Han Jing's entire mind.

"Speak." Shen Yingxue spoke slowly and gently. This gentleness reminded Han Jing of how Shen Yingxue had been so gentle when they had just met again not long ago.

A person who is usually sinister, vicious and domineering suddenly becomes gentle, which seems strange in every way.

Shen Yingxue was angry.

Han Jing was panicking, his Adam's apple moving slightly, "Without Yuding Villa, there would be no me today."

"Do you care a lot about Yuding Villa?" Shen Yingxue walked up to him and compared her son's figure with her own.

His son was actually a little taller than him, with a darker complexion and a healthier appearance. Standing in front of his son, Shen Yingxue didn't look like a father at all, but just a gigolo.

Although he is indeed living off his wife now.

Shen Yingxue sighed in her heart. He was really useless now. When eating at the restaurant at noon, Shen Yingxue clearly remembered that Fu Sheng was stronger than her son. Not to mention that he also had the Mosaic system. Even if the system was not messed up, it would not be easy to seek revenge on Fu Sheng. Not to mention Fu Sheng, even Han Jing could beat him to death with one punch.

What should I do? Why is this happening? Shen Yingxue missed the well-behaved little boy from before, and he simply couldn't control the adult version in front of him.

Han Jing gritted his teeth and said in a cold tone: "Do you still want me to be loyal to the Demon Cult for the rest of my life?"

Shen Yingxue knew that the other party was acting, but there was definitely some subjective color in these questions and answers. Although I don't know how the Demon Cult treated Han Jing, according to the original owner's personality, it must not be very good, and it is definitely not comparable to Yuding Villa.

The original owner took advantage of the situation and sent him here as an undercover agent. Han Jing never sent any message back, which resulted in the cult being completely unprepared before its demise.

Shen Yingxue knew too little about Han Jing. He had no idea how Han Jing felt about the original owner, nor did he know what he had experienced in the past. He couldn't tell whether Han Jing had really betrayed him, so he had better be on guard first.

Shen Yingxue said: "Since you care about Yuding Villa, you should know why I am here."

Han Jing said: "I know."

Shen Yingxue smiled again, "I thought you really didn't care about the life and death of Yuding Villa, and wanted to bury everyone in the villa with me."

"What do you mean?" Han Jing asked sharply.

Han Jing quickly analyzed in his mind every word Shen Yingxue said and every movement and expression she made, trying hard to guess Shen Yingxue's intentions and give answers that would satisfy him.

The last sentence should be the instruction given to him by Shen Yingxue. Unfortunately, the amount of information implied in this sentence was too much. Han Jing was afraid that he would misunderstand it and make Shen Yingxue unhappy, so he asked again.

"Don't you understand?" Shen Yingxue slowly turned around and sat back on the bed, leaning on the bed frame, with one leg bent and stepping on the footstool, and the other leg straight. His legs were very long, so he crossed the footstool and landed directly on the ground. "It's easy to splash dirty water, but it's hard to wash it clean. I advise you to think carefully about whether it's worth doing this."

Han Jing understood that Shen Yingxue didn't want him to do this. However, there seemed to be a deeper meaning in this sentence, and he was too stupid to understand it at the moment.

"What I do is my own business. I won't give up just because of a few words from you." Han Jing laughed unwillingly, "Instead of worrying about Yuding Villa, you should think about your own situation. To this day, none of the dogs you used to raise are around you. I heard that they are smelling the scent and looking for you."

Only by leaving the villa can we have a chance to reunite with our subordinates. Han Jing conveyed this idea. His adoptive father was pretending to be crazy. With his help from inside and outside, wouldn't it be easy to escape from the control of these people?

Shen Yingxue knew that Xun Yan and the robot cat were looking for him, but the mosaic effect was too great, and even if he met Xun Yan face to face, he might not be able to recognize him. If he fell into Fu Sheng's hands, he would not even have a chance to escape. At least Jiang Hanfeng would protect him here.

Shen Yingxue said, "Since you said it was a dog, what does it matter? If it was a human, I might be in the mood to meet him."

Han Jing took a breath of cool air.

My stepfather is so cruel!

Even the subordinates who shared life and death with him in times of trouble could not win his heart. What else in this world could move him?

Looking at Shen Yingxue's seemingly gentle and weak appearance, Han Jing felt that it made him feel cold. His voice was slightly hoarse, full of complicated emotions, "Is there anything else in this world that you care about?"

"Yes." Shen Yingxue smiled, "I care about a lot of things, and you are one of them."

Han Jing asked in surprise: "Me?"

He was overwhelmed by the favor. At this time, his adoptive father didn't need to lie to him. It would be better not to even mention him to reduce the suspicion between the two. But Shen Yingxue mentioned him. Was she trying to appease him?

It turns out that I hold such a high position in my adoptive father's heart?

Han Jing thought about this sentence over and over again, and left Jiang Hanfeng's residence in a daze, without even saying goodbye to his second senior brother.

The hatred between him and Shen Yingxue was all fake. On the contrary, although Shen Yingxue was not close to him before, she was also his mentor. In addition to the father-son relationship, it was impossible to say that Han Jing had no expectations of Shen Yingxue.

However, the little bit of admiration he had for her was worn away by Shen Yingxue's harsh treatment. Han Jing initially thought that he was Shen Yingxue's adopted son and the young master of the Demon Sect, but later he discovered that he was no better than Shen Yingxue's substitute and attendant.

From then on, he adjusted his mindset and considered himself just an ordinary killer from the evil cult, no longer harboring any ridiculous fantasies.

But now, Shen Yingxue said that his former double and the attendant were all dogs, and only his adopted son was special...

Maybe Shen Yingxue really treated him differently, but she didn't know how to express it, which led to his misunderstanding.

Han Jing thought about it carefully. Shen Yingxue was a very scary person. However, because he was cowardly and did not pass on the news to the Demon Cult, he was not punished, and he was not even verbally admonished.

Han Jing thought that Shen Yingxue was disappointed in him. If that was not the case, if Shen Yingxue had always cared about him from the beginning, then how could he explain Shen Yingxue's reaction?

Han Jing thought of the two times Shen Yingxue's tenderness had made him shudder.

If there is no rage behind the gentleness...

A betrayal, a self-defeating move. That was the greatest comfort Shen Yingxue could offer as a father.

It was as if a warm current flowed into Han Jing's heart, dispelling the cold fear.

He lay on the bed, looking at the starry sky outside the window, and laughed like a child. Then he called out in a very low voice, "Dad..."
