Chapter 68: Can the righteous path of humanity bring those who killed Wanxing to justice?
The black sedan drove away from the villa atop Yuhu Mountain, weaving through the hustle and bustle of Beijing, and finally stopped at the entrance of a quiet, upscale residential community.
The community has excellent landscaping, with lush trees that isolate it from the noise of the outside world, making it quiet and elegant.
Shen Yuepo got out of the car and his gaze immediately fell on Jiang Yubai, who was already waiting at the entrance of the community.
Upon seeing this, her cool gaze subtly sharpened.
Jiang Yubai before my eyes resembles a bamboo stalk battered by frost and snow.
He had noticeably thinned out, and his shoulders even looked somewhat bony.
That once handsome face, which had captivated countless socialites, was now shrouded in a lingering weariness and haggardness.
“Miss Shen.” Jiang Yubai’s voice was a little hoarse. He stepped forward and gave a polite smile. “This way, please.”
His gaze lingered for half a second on Feng Jin, who was getting out of the car behind Shen Yuepo.
He didn't ask any further questions about Feng Jin's identity; he simply turned around and led them into the residential area.
“This residential area is my personal property,” Jiang Yubai said as he walked, his voice flat. “The environment is relatively quiet, the security level is top-notch, and it’s not far from the city center.”
"We have several fully furnished apartments that have been vacant. I'll take you to see the ones with the best locations and views."
He first showed Shen Yuepo a two-bedroom apartment on a high floor with a wide view.
The house is decorated in a modern minimalist style with exquisite materials and elegant design. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer a view of lush greenery and distant city views.
Excellent natural lighting and a bright, airy feel.
Jiang Yubai stood in the center of the living room, his gaze sweeping over the empty room, and said in a flat tone, "If you don't like this style, there's another one in the next unit with a different style, you can take a look."
Shen Yuepo walked around the house.
The house is clean and tidy, with a balanced and harmonious feng shui layout and no obvious problems.
All she needed was a place to stay, and this house was enough.
“No need,” she stopped and looked at Jiang Yubai. “This one is fine.”
Jiang Yubai seemed a little surprised by her decisiveness, but he didn't say anything, just nodded: "Okay, let's go to the property center to sign the contract."
The paperwork was completed quickly in the small meeting room of the property management center.
When the contract was handed to Shen Yuepo, she clearly saw the total price of the house marked on it: 8 million (RMB), full payment.
Shen Yuepo paused slightly in the hand holding the pen.
Located in the heart of Beijing, this upscale residential community boasts top-tier security. Fully furnished, ready-to-move-in apartment with two bedrooms, a living room, and a large balcony offering stunning views…
This price is ridiculously low.
Even for Jiang Yubai's own properties, this price is far below the market price.
She understood instantly.
This was Jiang Yubai repaying a favor for the Xiao Wanxing incident, even though Shen Yuepo had never asked for anything in return.
Shen Yuepo raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Yubai sitting opposite her.
His eyelashes were lowered, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table unconsciously. The lines of his profile looked unusually hard under the light.
She neither pointed it out nor declined; she simply picked up the pen and neatly signed her name where it was required.
The contract has been signed and the handover procedures have been completed.
Shen Yuepo carefully put away his copy of the contract.
Jiang Yubai stood up, seemingly preparing to see the guest out: "The property management will give you the key and access card. If you have any questions later, contact the property manager directly."
Just as he turned to leave, Shen Yuepo's cold voice rang out behind him:
"Jiang Yubai".
Jiang Yubai's back suddenly stiffened, and he stopped in his tracks.
Looking at his stiff back, Shen Yuepo continued:
"Her last wish was that you could live a good life."
Shen Yuepo's words were like a blunt knife, cutting into the deepest wound in Jiang Yubai's heart.
"The path you've taken... is not the righteous one. Leading evil cultivators into your scheme and becoming tainted by malevolent forces and resentment will only lead to your utter destruction."
The air seemed to freeze instantly.
Jiang Yubai slowly turned around, a smirk playing on his lips. "Heh... As expected, I can't hide it from you, Master Shen."
He chuckled softly, a laugh filled with bitterness and madness. "The righteous path of humanity?"
His gaze suddenly sharpened:
"Can the righteous path of humanity bring those who killed Wanxing to justice? Can it make those beasts in human skin pay the real price?"
"I waited, I believed! What did I get in return? Insufficient evidence! Presumption of innocence! That bitch is still living a carefree life under the halo of being the adopted daughter of the Shen family!"
His voice suddenly rose, filled with long-suppressed anger and despair:
"Since the righteous path can't give Wanxing justice, can't give me an answer... then why should I still walk the righteous path?!"
He stared intently at Shen Yuepo, "If only we could tear off her disguise, drag her into hell, and make her taste even a fraction of the suffering Wanxing endured..."
"What crooked paths or evil tricks? I, Jiang Yubai... will follow them without hesitation!"
