Chapter 145 Retreating to Advance



By the time Xie Xiaodong was taken to the hospital, everything had been taken care of.

All of this was arranged by Shen Huai'an. Shen Taimin thought he could deal with him by hiring a few people.

Little did he know that from the moment Shen Taimin made his move, he had already fallen into a trap that Shen Huai'an had meticulously prepared for him.

These are all his people; he's just here to play along.

Now we don't know if they have that fake confidential document. If it's in the old lady's hands, then we'll have a good show to watch. As long as they use that fake confidential document against us, then whoever it is will have to get out of the Shen family.

Everything returns to the present, still in this quiet hospital room.

The ventilator was beeping rhythmically. Shen Huai'an touched the gauze on his face. He had thought Shen Taimin was rushing over to see if he was in trouble, but it turned out to be Xie Xiaodong.

Shim Tae-min is quite cautious; he's afraid something might go wrong, so he didn't dare come over.

Xie Xiaodong can be considered to have done it on behalf of Shen Taimin.

Looking at Xie Xiaodong's half-dead state, Shen Huai'an wished he could send him on his way.

He walked to the bedside and slowly reached out to stroke Xie Xiaodong's face with immense heartache. "Xiaodong, you'd better stay like this and not wake up, otherwise my older brother will definitely not let you off the hook."

After saying that, Shen Huai'an frowned and left the ward with a pained expression.

It was already past 3 a.m. when they got home. Lin Wanxing felt especially sorry for her second brother. He had been up until midnight and was injured. In addition, he was not in good condition. So Lin Wanxing wanted her second brother to rest for a day and not go to the company.

Shen Huai'an sat in the study with a worried expression. Lin Wanxing knew that his second brother was saddened by Xie Xiaodong's matter, so he wanted to come and comfort him.

He carefully carried a glass of warm water to the study. "Second Brother, may I come in?"

Shen Huai'an called him in with a hoarse voice, his voice filled with exhaustion.

Shen Huai'an sat there blankly, staring at the photo frame in his hand, his eyes red as if he had just been crying.

Lin Wanxing walked over and saw him holding a photo of himself with Xie Xiaodong when they were young. In the photo, the second brother looked so young, and Xie Xiaodong next to him looked so sunny.

"Second brother, don't be too sad. What's done is done, and there's no point in doing this. Xiao Dong is out of danger now, so don't be like this."

Lin Wanxing really felt sorry for him. His second brother was such a strong person, it was rare for him to show such a vulnerable side. He put the water on the table.

This happened so suddenly that everyone was shocked, and my second brother just couldn't accept it for a while.

Shen Huai'an took off his glasses and looked at the photo of himself and Xiao Dong. He said seriously, "Xingxing, I feel really guilty. Will everyone I'm connected with be implicated by me? My family, friends, and even my lover will be implicated."

“Even I have become a useless cripple, Xingxing. I am now afraid that I will drag you down.”

Shen Huai'an put down the photo frame and slumped back in his chair. "I'm just a cripple. Everyone close to me will be dragged down by me. Star, stay away from me too."

“It’s right not to get married. If you marry me, you’ll be dragged down by me.” Shen Huai’an said in despair, “Xingxing, leave my side.”

"I'm afraid I'll hurt you."

"Xingxing, I really like you. It's because I like you that I had no choice but to do this. Do you understand?" Shen Huai'an said through gritted teeth, his eyes welling up with tears.

The expression and tone on his face when he said those words were as if he were making the most difficult decision. Lin Wanxing couldn't bear to hear it; he didn't want to leave his second brother.

His second brother was the most important person to him. When he heard that his second brother had an accident, he realized that his second brother was everything to him. He was able to escape from the Chen family's attic, take back his grandfather's hotel, and seize the shares in his mother's will. All of this was because his second brother helped him.

He was a fool, a foolish young master ridiculed by everyone. Only his second brother didn't despise him, treated him well, and even wanted to marry him. He couldn't live without his second brother.

"No, Second Brother, please don't abandon Xingxing. You said you would always take care of me." Lin Wanxing suddenly became very scared. He walked around the table and stood in front of Shen Huai'an.

"Don't do this, Xingxing will be good from now on, please don't do this, okay?" Lin Wanxing pleaded with Shen Huai'an, his eyes red.

"It was just an accident. Xie Xiaodong will be fine. It's not your fault, Second Brother. It was Shen Taimin who tried to harm you." Lin Wanxing ran over and cried her heart out.

“Xingxing, let’s break up. I’m afraid of being a burden to you. You don’t know how much pain I felt when Xiaodong had that accident. I hate that I’m disabled and that I’m powerless.”

“Everyone who gets involved with me will end up badly, including my best friend. I can’t let you get hurt too, so we really can’t be together. You’re right, we shouldn’t get married.” Shen Huai’an gritted his teeth and pushed Lin Wanxing away with a pained expression.

Lin Wanxing's eyes were swollen from crying. "No, we're getting married next month. Why don't you want me? How dare you abandon me after taking advantage of me? Everyone knows I'm yours. You're just saying you don't want me anymore?"

"I don't want to leave, I just won't leave." He suddenly threw himself into Shen Huai'an's arms. "No, you can't, it's not your fault at all, why are you making me leave?"
