C1405 How Did You Collude with Shen Guorong
"Xue Chen, if you want to deal with Zuo Cheng'ao, I hope you can spare his life for my sake. As for the rest, you can do whatever you want. I won't ask anything, but can you not kill him?"
Back in the mansion, Shih Dahai had wanted to plead for Zuo Cheng'ao, but he had never found a chance.
Now that he had finally left the villa, Shih Dahai could not help but plead for Xue Chen for Zuo Cheng'ao.
"Uncle Shih, Zuo Cheng'ao harmed you so much, you actually..."
"He can be heartless, but how can I be unrighteous?" Shih Dahai smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I am useless? Even a person who once wanted to kill himself couldn't kill him."
Looking at the bitter face of Shih Dahai, Xue Chen sighed slightly. "Alright, I will try my best to keep him alive, but if he insists on seeking death..."
"If you don't kill him, I will help you kill him!" Shih Dahai said to Xue Chen with a serious face.
"Uncle Shih, don't worry. If the situation permits, I will not kill Zuo Cheng'ao." Xue Chen said confidently.
"That's good, that's good." Shih Dahai felt as if his heart was in his chest. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he heard Xue Chen's words.
"Alright, Xue Chen, it's getting late. You should rest early. I'll go back first."
"Then slow down. I will go see Xueyan tomorrow."
"Then I'll prepare two dishes. Let's have a drink."
"Okay!"
They talked for a while before Shih Dahai left.
Looking at Shih Dahai's figure slowly disappearing under the streetlight, Xue Chen also turned around and returned to the villa.
Just as Xue Chen walked in from the outside, Gong Shangyu carried the prepared noodles and walked in from the outside.
When she saw the sofa in the living room of the villa, There was only Jiang Zhanyi alone, and after Xue Chen walked in from outside, Gong Shangyu could not help but ask, "Xue Chen, where is Nameless?"
"Nameless?" Xue Chen was stunned and looked at Gong Shangyu in confusion.
"The one who has been pretending to be you..."
Hearing Gong Shangyu's words, Xue Chen immediately came back to his senses. "Tell me about him. He left. He just left."
"Xue Chen, who is he?" Gong Shangyu stared at Xue Chen and asked, "Why do I feel that he is very scary?"
"And I feel like I know him."
Just as Gong Shangyu finished speaking, Jiang Zhanyi's gaze also fell on Xue Chen. He seemed to be very curious as he looked at Xue Chen.
Clearly, Jiang Zhanyi was also very interested in Shih Dahai.
"He is one of my old friends. I have no choice this time. That's why I asked him to come out." Xue Chen deceived him. "In the future, it will probably be difficult to ask him for help again!"
Xue Chen had promised Shih Dahai that he would not tell anyone about him. Xue Chen had to make up a lie when he was asked by Gong Shangyu.
Gong Shangyu glanced at Xue Chen again and did not ask any more questions. She just let Xue Chen eat.
It was not that Gong Shangyu was not curious about Shih Dahai's background, but Xue Chen was obviously reluctant to mention it.
Gong Shangyu could not ask any more questions about this.
"Mom, why are there only you and the old master in the house today? Where are Xuening and the others?" Xue Chen asked curiously.
If Shen Xuening was upstairs, Xue Chen could understand. But what about Shen Mannni and the others?
"Mannni and Keke are upstairs playing games. Xuening should be in the study room!" Gong Shangyu softly said, "Old mister Xuanyuan is already resting. As for that kid from the Xuanyuan Family, he probably went to look for Loong Yu!"
"I was wondering why it was so quiet!"
"Xue Chen, what happened in Lingnan?" Jiang Zhanyi walked up to Xue Chen and asked, "Who kidnapped Baichuan? You didn't say anything on the phone."
Gong Shangyu looked at Xue Chen after Jiang Zhanyi said that. The meaning of the question was self-evident.
Being stared at by Jiang Zhanyi and Gong Shangyu like that, even if Xue Chen wanted to pretend not to see it, it was impossible. So he said helplessly, "Can you wait until I finish eating?"
Jiang Zhanyi and Gong Shangyu naturally had no objections to this.
While Xue Chen was eating noodles, he thought about how to say and how to start.
After all, this was Shen Guorong, not anyone else. It was not that easy to talk about. Otherwise, Xue Chen would have told Shih Dahai just now.
Under the gaze of Jiang Zhanyi and Gong Shangyu, Xue Chen slowly finished the noodles.
Just as Xue Chen put down the chopsticks, Gong Shangyu could not help but ask, "Xue Chen, what is going on?"
"Before I say it, you guys must keep calm. At the same time, tell me how I will tell the others." Xue Chen took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.
"My father-in-law was not kidnapped by others. He was kidnapped by the Shen Family..."
"Who is it?"
Seeing Gong Shangyu's anxious look, Xue Chen sighed and said, "Can you not interrupt me next time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Chen did not wait for Gong Shangyu to speak and said again, "This time's kidnapping. It's not a man's doing. It was done by three people."
"Moo Xiuwen, Shen Zhenye, and Shen Guorong!"
The next moment, Gong Shangyu and Jiang Zhanyi's expressions changed. "How is this possible? Isn't Shen Guorong already dead?"
"That's right. I went back then. He is indeed dead..." Gong Shangyu echoed.
Xue Chen smoked another cigarette. After spitting out the thick smoke from his mouth, he slowly said, "I also think so. But the truth is right in front of me. Shen Guorong is not dead. He is alive and well."
"Previously, he faked his death. He wanted me to take over the Shen Family because he wanted to use me. Moreover, it was easier for him to secretly attack me. At the same time, because of his identity, it was easier for him to get his hands on me than anyone else." Xue Chen said heavily, "Moreover, if it wasn't for the old man's appearance today, I might have already died in Lingnan."
As soon as Xue Chen finished speaking, Gong Shangyu and Jiang Zhanyi's expressions changed.
"Xue Chen, according to what I know, there shouldn't be any experts in Shen Family who can match you, right?" Gong Shangyu frowned slightly and asked in confusion. "Even Uncle Kong shouldn't be able to defeat you. Besides, Uncle Kong would never do such a thing!"
"It's not Kong Xun." Xue Chen shook his head. "It's someone else."
"There are only a few powerful warriors in Shen Family. They..."
"That's right. The people of Shen Family can't do anything to me, but Master of the God Destroying Pavilion can." Xue Chen said heavily, "He is a Unification warrior. In front of him, even my father-in-law and I can't do anything to him."
"If it wasn't for this old man, I'm afraid my head would have been crushed by him!"
"Ridiculous!" Gong Shangyu said angrily, "Shen Guorong dared to plot against you and wanted to join hands with others to kill you!"
"This old thing, I was wondering why he was so strongly against Baichuan going to the capital to help your mother. It turns out that he was also dishonest." Gong Shangyu said coldly, "I thought he was just afraid. He was a coward."
Gong Shangyu did not say much when the Shen Family did not help Xue Jianing. After all, in that situation, the Wealthy Class valued benefits more.
As for other matters, not many people were willing to participate, let alone save Xue Jianing and offend everyone.
At the same time, when Martial God came out of the mountain and the Shen Family did not move, Gong Shangyu could understand. After all, some people liked to settle scores in the end.
However, she never thought that Shen Guorong would still want to deal with Xue Chen.
"What did Shen Baichuan say?" Gong Shangyu asked with a gloomy face.
"He wanted me to keep Shen Guorong alive!"
After hearing Xue Chen's words, Gong Shangyu snorted coldly. "I'm afraid you forced Shen Guorong out. He didn't tell you before, did he?"
Although Gong Shangyu and Shen Baichuan had been divorced for many years, it did not mean that he did not know Shen Baichuan.
On the contrary, Gong Shangyu knew Shen Baichuan very well and knew very well. Shen Baichuan was a filial son.
If not, Shen Baichuan would have gone to the capital with her to help Xue Jianing and take revenge for Xue Jianing with Martial God.
"It's understandable that he did this. After all, he is his father." Xue Chen could not help but speak up for Shen Baichuan.
"It is understandable that Baichuan did this. After all, Shen Guorong is his father. How could he watch his father die?"
This time, Gong Shangyu was completely speechless.
Shen Baichuan's actions were indeed reasonable, but what Gong Shangyu could not bear was that Shen Guorong wanted to deal with Xue Chen and kidnapped her own son.
"But why did Shen Guorong kidnap Shen Baichuan?" Jiang Zhanyi asked in confusion.
"He knows some of the secrets of the Qin Imperial Seal. Shen Guorong must be trying to get it from him." Gong Shangyu did not wait for Xue Chen to speak and said, "It's just that although Shen Baichuan is a filial son, he has his own bottom line."
"If I touch his son-in-law, he will definitely be unhappy and will not tell anyone about it. Shen Guorong knows this better than anyone, so he wants to take him away and ask slowly."
"If you ask, it will be good. If you can't find out, then lock him up so that he won't cause any more trouble."
"If I'm not mistaken, Shen Baichuan definitely didn't know it was Shen Guorong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called Xue Chen."
This time, Gong Shangyu was completely right.
At that time, Shen Baichuan only knew that it was Shen Zhenye, but he did not know that the real mastermind was Shen Guorong.
Initially, Shen Baichuan wanted Xue Chen to come and dig out the mastermind, but who would have thought that the situation would turn out like this.
"Mom, I can understand what my father-in-law is doing, but Moo Xiuwen and Shen Guorong are working together..."
In Xue Chen's opinion, Moo Xiuwen was Shen Baichuan's wife, so she should stand. Why was she on Shen Guorong's side?
