Chapter 100 The truth of the past life
"Chen Xiliu, do you really want to die?"
Shen Yunshu rushed back to China overnight and arrived at three or four in the morning. He didn't care about Shen Xiliu's condition at all, and rushed into the ward directly. He stared at his pale and ugly face, and the bandage marks on his neck and wrists, and was very angry.
"How could you be so arrogant?!" Shen Yunshu really didn't know how the head of the Shen family was keeping an eye on him. He actually allowed Shen Xiliu to find an opportunity to remove his gland and commit suicide. If his family hadn't discovered it in time, he would have succeeded.
You Yi, who was on night watch, heard Shen Yunshu scold his father as well, and couldn't help but whispered, "Aren't you also being sent away, uncle?"
Although the head of the Shen family sent people to keep an eye on Shen Xiliu, it was impossible for his subordinates to keep a close eye on him all the time. This gave him an opportunity to secretly arrange an operation to remove the gland. When the head of the Shen family found out something was wrong, he rushed to the hospital, but the gland had already been removed.
Facing the angry elder, Shen Xiliu just said calmly: "It can't be that everyone is retaliated, but I, the culprit, have not suffered any crime, right?"
You Yi was simply stunned. He didn't expect that Chen Xiliu would be so inhuman when he went crazy and abused himself that he even treated himself so cruelly.
There are many side effects to removing the gland, and they are terrifying. There will be persistent pain for a long time after the operation, which is no less than someone rubbing the back of their neck with a razor blade, accompanied by neuralgia. However, Chen Xiliu seemed to be fine. He got out of bed two days later and continued to take revenge on others.
"Don't worry, I won't die easily. Revenge has just begun." Shen Xiliu asked the head of the Shen family not to watch him so closely. He really wouldn't die easily.
If it was the original him, the head of the Shen family believed that he would not be so impulsive, but the current Shen Xiliu was too strange, he did not dare to let down his guard, and even ordered him to move back home and watch him personally.
At that time, Shen Xiliu did not have any thoughts of suicide, but after he went to the police station and met with Yi Hongli, he completely collapsed.
When he returned home that night, Shen Xiliu cut his wrists, lay in hot water, and waited for death to come. By the time others found him, he was half dead and almost beyond rescue.
The head of the Shen family almost fainted from anger and wanted to hit someone, but he couldn't bring himself to do it to Shen Xiliu, who had been rescued with great difficulty. Knowing that Shen Yunshu was on his way back, he simply closed his eyes and handed the person over to him.
Shen Yunshu seemed not to have heard You Yi's words. Seeing that Shen Xiliu's indifferent eyes did not change at all, he laughed angrily, stretched out his hand and forcefully pulled Shen Xiliu off the bed, dragging him to the window: "Want to die? Then just jump from here!"
“Chen Xiliu, there is a price to pay for doing something wrong. You have made a mess of things, and now you want to use suicide to escape everything?”
"If you want to escape, then escape. I thought that we are relatives after all, and you are a junior. I can't just ignore you if you do something like this, so I worked so hard to run around the world to beg people. But now that you want to commit suicide, there is no need to care about it anymore. Just go and die!"
"You are the one who caused this mess in the first place. It's better for you to die. I don't know what Yi Hongli said to provoke you into this state. I don't care. Go to hell. You don't have to worry about anything after you die." Shen Yunshu smiled coldly. "I think Qi Yan's situation is also very bad. If you die first, I will help him collect his body next year. Maybe I can force you to have a ghost marriage because of our relationship."
"How is it? Are you happy? If you die, I can help you."
"!"
Shen Yunshu's words were so powerful that the lifeless Shen Xiliu suddenly raised his eyes and stared at him, saying in a hoarse and unpleasant voice: "Don't bother him!"
"Don't say such funny things." Shen Yunshu bent down, squinting and looking directly into Shen Xiliu's dark eyes, "You are the one who is tormenting him, not me, understand?"
“…”
Shen Xiliu's pupils trembled slightly, and then seemed to become silent again in an instant.
"Chen Xiliu, when did you become so stupid?" Shen Yunshu let go of him and watched Shen Xiliu stagger and fall to the ground. The bandage on the back of his neck was faintly seeping with blood. It had been a long time, but the wound still did not heal.
"You are torturing yourself now, torturing yourself and the people who care about you. Why do you do such a stupid thing?"
The Shen family would never do stupid things that would make their enemies happy and their loved ones sad.
"I'm putting this here. If you're going to die, die cleanly and beautifully. I wasn't kidding you just now. If you die, I won't help Qi Yan any more." Shen Yunshu turned and left, saying in a cold voice, "Anyway, with his current mental state, he probably won't survive more than two years."
"Just die first. Then you won't have to worry about anything."
Shen Yunshu is a man of his words. He may feel a little guilty towards Qi Yan, but it is definitely not much. He is willing to do this more out of consideration for Shen Xiliu.
"Cousin...cousin, are you okay?" You Yi cautiously stepped forward and supported him.
Shen Xiliu didn't push him away, but looked out the window from afar.
You Yi followed his gaze and his expression tensed: "Wait, are you planning to do that?"
“…”
Shen Xiliu didn't say anything. He returned to the hospital bed, still silent, his face terribly pale.
He cannot die, at least not now, otherwise Shen Yunshu will definitely do what he says and continue to harm Qi Yan after him.
Therefore, let him continue to live. At least in the next period of time, we must protect Qi Yan and prevent any more troubles. Especially that incident, Qi Yan must not know about it...
…
"Director Shen, do you know what Yi Hongli said to Shen Xiliu?"
This was the first time Qi Yan called Shen Yunshu. He knew that Shen Yunshu didn't like to beat around the bush, so he asked straight to the point.
"I don't know. I'm also investigating, but maybe it has something to do with my stupid brother-in-law." Shen Yunshu's voice was casual. "Yi Hongli and Shen Xiliu are too tight-lipped. The boss of our Shen family is already investigating. There are some clues. When I know, I might tell you depending on the situation."
"...Thank you." Qi Yan said after a long silence.
Shen Yunshu said, "Don't be so quick to thank me. I told you it depends on the situation. I may not let you know."
"Also, Yi Hongli will not be sentenced to death. Xi Liu found a lawyer to defend him. Did you know that?"
Qi Yan said: "Well, my friend has already told me."
Shen Xiliu was too embarrassed to come to him, so he could only convey the news through Zhang Hengyi. The Shen family was helping Yi Hongli, so there was a very high possibility that he would not die.
Sometimes, escaping death may not be a good thing.
"That's fine. Let's make an appointment in the future and you can come to my research institute for a thorough physical examination." The instruments in the research institute are more sophisticated and can detect more things, which will help Shen Yunshu understand Qi Yan's condition.
"Okay." Qi Yan said.
Shen Yunshu's fingers spinning the pen on the other end of the phone paused slightly. He didn't expect that after so many things had happened, he would still agree so smoothly. Qi Yan... was indeed a very vital person. Even at this time, he still wanted to live well.
If so many things had not happened and if he had not had the misfortune of running into Shen Xiliu, such a person would have been able to live a good life no matter where he went.
If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have chosen Qi Yan, Shen Yunshu thought. However, he knew that even if he had to do it all over again, he would still choose Qi Yan. After all, Qi Yan and Shen Xiliu had a high pheromone match, and he attached great importance to this.
"By the way, Director Shen, what is his... current situation?" After hesitating for a while, Qi Yan asked.
"He's fine. He can eat and drink. He won't die in the short term." Shen Yunshu said.
Chen Xiliu and Qi Yan really are not a good match at all. Their values are completely different. Even at this point, Qi Yan probably doesn't hate Chen Xiliu that much. If it were Chen Xiliu, he would have killed the other person long ago.
Qi Yan only asked this question and didn't ask any more questions about anything related to Shen Xiliu. He would not express his opinion on anything concerning Shen Xiliu. It would be best for them to end it like this. Not having any relationship anymore and erasing each other's traces from their lives would be the best outcome.
Time passed quickly. Yi Hongli's second trial did change because of the Shen family's operation. He was not sentenced to death, but he will spend the rest of his life in prison. And what follows may be the beginning of his nightmare.
Originally, Shen Yunshu said he might tell him something, but he didn't tell him until the result of the second trial came out. Qi Yan thought the matter was over, but it seemed not.
In the study room of the Shen family's old house, there was silence.
"Ha, Wen Xunshui, are you an idiot?" Shen Yunshu took a deep breath, but couldn't help cursing in the end, "How could you do such a stupid thing? Don't you know what happened between the Xia family and the Yi family back then?"
Wen Xunshui, Shen Xiliu's biological father, looked guilty: "I'm sorry, I didn't know there would be so many misunderstandings."
He really didn't know what was going on with the Xia and Yi families. After all, he was still immersed in the pain of his wife's death at the time and had no intention of caring about other people's affairs.
"Sorry? Now that things have become like this, can you solve it with just an apology?" Shen Yunshu sneered, "I shouldn't have let my little sister marry an idiot like you. You've directly lowered the IQ of our Shen family, and even Xi Liu has become as sensitive as you, and he gets angry at the slightest provocation."
This has nothing to do with me, all of you Shen family members are like this. Wen Xunshui's expression changed slightly, but he couldn't refute in front of his brother-in-law.
"Brother, please say something too. I never thought there was such a deep reason behind this. No wonder Xi Liu... was trying to commit suicide." Shen Yunshu could understand Shen Xi Liu a little bit.
The head of the Shen family couldn't help but sigh: "At this point, what else can I say? Our Shen family has become an accomplice after all, and now we don't even have the chance to make amends."
"How about...we bring back the bodyguard and the old butler from back then?" Wen Xunshui suggested.
"Shut up!" Shen Yunshu got angry when he heard him talking. "The old housekeeper is already buried in the ground, and you still want to find him? How about you die first and bring him back to me?"
"What a bastard! I asked you to take good care of my little sister, but you ended up causing her and Xi Liu to get into a car accident, one dead and one injured. You've been living in pain all day since then. Do you think it's great to drown your sorrows in alcohol? You can't even take care of a child, and you let someone get lost in broad daylight, and you almost got into a car accident again. Are you an idiot?!"
"If it weren't for you, my little sister wouldn't have died, Xi Liu wouldn't have disappeared, wouldn't have walked onto the road, and wouldn't have been rescued. But you, an idiot, couldn't even identify the person who saved her life, and you went straight to repay the favor to your enemy, causing him to bring misery to his family!"
"You are such a traitor. You are such a traitor."
What a tragic experience, Shen Yunshu thought, why is Qi Yan so unlucky?
He saved Shen Xiliu once when he was a child, but the bodyguard and the old butler who came to pick him up didn't even know his identity. I remember that his face was very similar to Yi Hongli. I heard that Wen Xunshui didn't take it to heart in the future, but just asked the old butler to visit and thank him.
As a result, he ran into Yi Hongli, who was a smart man.
As soon as he heard the reason for the other party's visit, Yi Hongli figured out the truth. He knew very well that among his two children, only Yanzhi would do such a thing to help others.
There are two choices before him:
The first was to return the favors from the Wen and Shen families to Yi Yanzhi, who was about to fall out with him;
The second is to guide the other party along. The person who helped Shen Xiliu was Yi Yang, who got favors from both families.
This is a very simple multiple-choice question, right?
Yi Hongli barely needed to think, and smiled and acquiesced. In order to prevent the truth from being exposed, he began to mislead the other party and brainwash Yi Yang, making him remember that he had indeed pulled a child from the middle of the road back to the side of the road and sent him to the police station...
But in fact, he didn't need to do this at all, because Wen Xunshui didn't care about this matter. After confirming that the old butler had visited, he didn't ask any more questions.
In this respect, Chen Xiliu is very similar to his father Wen Xunshui. He was very grateful to the other party for saving his life and reminded his uncle not to forget to repay the favor, so he didn't ask too many questions.
After all, his eyes were blind for a short period of time due to blood stasis caused by the car accident that compressed the nerves. Shen Yunshu simply took him abroad to find a friend for help, as he had no time at all.
It was several years later that I saw Yi Yang again.
Shen Xiliu simply thanked him briefly at the time and did not have much communication with him, let alone develop any special feelings just because he was rescued once. Instead, they had more contact after Yi Yang hooked up with Shen Xiangting.
However, Yi Hongli made full use of this opportunity, borrowed the Shen family's influence, obtained projects that he would not have been able to get before, and reached greater heights. Because of this, I got to know a high-ranking official named Zhao. When I visited him, I accidentally saw an old photo hanging on the wall and saw a very familiar face in the photo.
——A face almost exactly the same as his ex-wife Xia Yunqie.
The senior official noticed it and said only a few words, and then said no more.
Yi Hongli went to investigate privately and soon found out the truth.
They were the comrade-in-arms of the father of the high-ranking official surnamed Zhao and his wife and children. The Qi family was originally a very happy family, but they lost their daughter in an accident and have not found her for many years...
When he knew this, Yi Hongli broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
If Xia Yunqie were found by the Qi family now and knew what he had done to Xia Yunqie, there would be no need to think too much about what would happen to him, right?
