Things about spending money on games (21)
"Host, are you really going to do this?" It was not until Yan Lin's figure completely disappeared from Shen Tang's sight that Xiao Fukudai's slightly doubtful voice reached Shen Tang's ears, "You can't stay in the game for much longer. Do you still want to accompany the male protagonist to the banquet?"
As he spoke, the lucky bag placed the progress of the krypton gold mission in front of Shen Tang, with a big "95%" displayed on it.
"We are only 5% away from leaving the game world," said the little lucky bag in a muffled voice, "If we stay any longer, the male protagonist's obsession will only deepen."
Shen Tang laughed softly, "I never said I would stay here. I just want to make sure the succession of the Yan family can be smoothly handed over."
As soon as the Yan family's housekeeper received Yan Lin's call, he immediately started heading towards the Yan family's house. I don't know if the old man had instructed him to do so, but he actually left a car to take her away.
"Ms. Lin, please get in the car," the driver wearing glasses said as he pressed the door button, waiting for Shen Tang to get in.
Shen Tang did not refuse this kindness. He shook off the water droplets on his body before stepping forward and sitting in the car.
"Just take me back to this address," she took out her cell phone and pointed to the address above, but the driver immediately rejected her request.
"I'm sorry Miss Lin, I was told to send you to the Yan family to attend the dinner party held for the young master."
Shen Tang raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure you want me to go to a dinner party that all the families in Beijing will attend, all wet?"
Needless to say, she could guess that this request must have been made by Yan Lin. Although the old man of the Yan family said that he would invite her to come because she had taken care of Yan Lin for a period of time, she was free to choose whether to come or not, and there was no forced request for her to go.
The driver was silent for a while, not knowing what to say in response to Shen Tang's doubts. He could only drive the car down the mountain like a log. After a long while, he said, "Then Miss Lin, go back and change your clothes first. I will wait for you outside the door."
Shen Tang complained silently in his heart, but replied softly, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
"By the way, Mr. Driver, did you see anyone else just now?"
Shen Tang mentioned this seemingly casually, but the other party frowned in confusion, "Others? When the housekeeper and I arrived, we only saw the young master's car, and then we hurriedly looked for you two, but didn't see any suspicious people."
Her heart skipped a beat, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes. So, Yan Chen had wiped out all traces of the car accident in such a short time?
Shen Tang felt something was wrong and frowned slightly. He suddenly exerted force on the handlebars and said, "Driver, please wait for me!"
After she finished speaking, she ran towards the place where the accident happened again in the rain.
How could there be no trace at all? Even the fiery red supercar she was driving was gone.
Shen Tang felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell where it was. She approached the place where the soil had slipped, and a bright color covered by the soil caught her attention. She slowly squatted down to dig up the soil, but at this moment a dark shadow suddenly approached her.
"Host, be careful! There is someone behind you!" The panicked voice of Little Fukudai just rang in her mind, but a thin figure was already standing in front of the woman.
"It's you," Shen Tang slowly raised his head and looked calmly at Chen Ru, the current wife of the Yan family, who was wearing a hat in front of him.
Shen Tang stood up nonchalantly, holding the red car body fragments in his palms, and tapped on his phone with his hands behind his back, "Why, come and clean up the mess for your son?"
She turned her head and glanced at the driver who was motionless: "It seems that he is your man."
Chen Ru smiled falsely, shaking a small remote control in her hand, "Of course, we haven't lost yet."
"I hadn't realized before that the little bastard was so devoted to you. If he hadn't been controlling the car you were driving, I wouldn't have known he would risk his life to save you."
The woman's voice was filled with triumph, "As long as you are still in my hands, I won't have to worry about not being able to control that little bitch, and thus further control the Yan family!"
Shen Tang's smiling face made him look like a little fox, which made Chen Ru feel disgusted. However, he seemed to be saying things that hurt her heart on purpose as if he wanted to anger her.
"Madam Yan, isn't your son already in the Yan family? Aren't you already the madam of the Yan family? How can you control the Yan family?" The woman's pretty face showed a puzzled look, and her far-sighted eyes suddenly widened. "Does it mean that you want to leave the Yan family?"
Chen Ru slapped Shen Tang hard on the face with one hand, but Shen Tang did not dodge. She had the ability to protect herself, but she had to collect enough evidence to send this woman to where she deserved before leaving.
Chen Ru gathered all her strength and slapped Shen Tang on the face. Although Shen Tang was hit on the face, he reduced the force of the slap so that only a crisp slapping sound could be heard.
"It's all because of that damn man!" Chen Ru looked at the scarlet mark on the fair face of the woman in front of her, and an indescribable pleasure surged in her heart. "If Yan Shuo hadn't threatened me and wanted to divorce me, how could I have thought of taking action against that little bitch?"
Chen Ru's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "This little bitch is lucky. After this man got together with me, I just used some tricks to bribe the former housekeeper of the Yan family and asked him to send her to a better place as far away from the capital as possible. He also sent the director of the local welfare home to take good care of her!"
"Who would have thought that the Gu family would be so nosy as to take the person away!" Chen Ru's face turned red with anger as she spoke. She had never dreamed that this person would actually reappear in front of her with the face she hated the most!
Shen Tang calmly watched Chen Ru recount the past events in front of her. Although she looked frightened and panicked on the surface, there was satisfaction in her eyes.
That's it, tell her everything that happened in the past, the more detailed she is, the easier it will be for her to hand over the evidence to the police. Yan Chen probably never thought that his mother would add this "colorful" touch to the matter he had already stopped.
"I heard that you used to be good friends with Yan Lin's mother, but now it seems that you are more like enemies." Shen Tang touched his face. It was still burning, but the raindrops that had turned into thin threads sliding on his face made his cheeks less painful.
Chen Ru's voice suddenly choked, and she began to shake the hand holding the remote control. People who didn't know her would have thought she was crying, but Shen Tang, who was only one or two meters away from her, clearly saw Chen Ru's wild laughter.
"Friends? She and I have never been friends!" Chen Ru threw the remote control heavily to the ground. "She is a swan and I am an ugly duck. As long as the swan is around, the ugly duck will never have a chance to stand out. Do you understand? Others always look at her with admiration, but what about me? They only look at me with contempt and sympathy!"
"So I can't let this happen to my son again, you understand?"
Chen Ru walked up to Shen Tang in two or three steps, patted her face gently, and spoke with a smile.
"But it all depends on how you perform."
Shen Tang looked at the person in front of her with some helplessness. She didn't know what happened between Chen Ru and Yan Lin's mother, but she felt powerless that the things of their generation were linked to the younger generation. Perhaps it was because she was overshadowed that the person in front of her had a twisted heart, or perhaps it was because of the difference between Yan Shuo's attitude towards her and his ex-wife that Chen Ru had completely lost herself.
"You, call the Yan family!" Chen Ru shouted at the driver who got out of the car. Her number had been blocked by the Yan family. If she called directly, the other party would definitely not answer. She could only rely on other people's mobile phones to make the call.
"Little lucky bag, get ready, prepare to cancel your game account in advance."
Shen Tang communicated with the system in his mind, and secretly sent the recording to his grandfather's mobile phone without telling Chen Ru and the driver. He also made an extra copy in his own mailbox and set it to be sent to the police station at a scheduled time.
The person the driver called was the Yan family's housekeeper. After a while, the phone screen finally lit up.
"What is it?"
"Tell your young master to come over and answer the phone!" Chen Ru snatched the phone and cursed fiercely, "If he doesn't answer the phone, I will..."
"You just?"
The Yan family's housekeeper answered the phone with a confused look on his face, but found that there was suddenly no sound on the other end of the phone.
Chen Ru glared angrily at Shen Tang who had snatched the phone from his hand. He was surprised that this man was still so strong after the car accident, but the next moment he was knocked unconscious by a heavy blow on the neck.
Shen Tang moved her limbs, and there were crisp sounds coming from her joints. She was really suffocated by holding back. If it wasn't for the fact that she wanted this person to tell her everything, she would have slapped him back long ago.
But now, it seemed unnecessary. She glanced at the fainted woman on the ground, then at the driver, "Do you want to fight me?"
As soon as the driver started to run away, the woman stretched out her leg and tripped him to the ground.
"Too late."
Shen Tang quickly knocked both of them unconscious and tied them up. He picked up his phone again with one hand, which showed several incoming calls, all of which were from Yan Lin.
She called back leisurely and the call was connected instantly.
"Sister, are you okay?"
"What can I do? Just stay at your party. I might be there soon." Shen Tang said with a sense of relaxation. "Be good and I'll come back to see you."
Yan Lin suddenly felt a little panicked. He swallowed his saliva dryly and said, "Okay, then you must come."
He didn't know how he hung up the phone. He spoke a lot in a daze, but his sister still didn't give him a definite answer.
Yan Lin took a deep breath, his eyes fell on the men and women at the banquet, anxiously waiting for that familiar figure to appear at the entrance.
Time passed by minute by minute. Yan Lin watched the old man explain everything about the inheritance rights of the Yan family, but he didn't wait for the man to come. There were many people who came to deal with him, but Yan Lin didn't remember any of them. He kept waiting for Shen Tang to come, and waited until all the guests left the Yan family.
"Young Master, don't wait any longer. Miss Lin probably won't come." The housekeeper looked helplessly at the young man who was sitting on the ground with his head down and advised.
However, Yan Lin just said in a muffled voice: "No, she will come."
The clock was still ticking, and Yan Lin's eyelashes were covered with moisture.
The lights dimmed, and at the moment the stage curtain fell, a figure finally walked towards him lightly.
