Chapter 66 1 Knock You Out with a Blow
Sheng Shen bent one knee against the peeling, gray wall, and the old window cast a shadow, making his back look even more lonely and desolate.
He has had very poor sleep quality in recent years. Sometimes he can't fall asleep all night long. As soon as he closes his eyes, he can almost hear the girl he loves screaming for help in the fire.
He couldn't accept it, and even went crazy for a time.
He seemed to have seen that scene countless times, and every night he would sit there in silence until dawn.
He did send people to look for him. Likewise, he would never forget that darkest day.
He had just returned from a business trip to England and the company he had taken over had a lot of debt problems. His father was trying to hand over the inheritance of the group to an illegitimate son he had been raising outside the family.
The mistress even brazenly brought her illegitimate child to provoke his mother, who suffered a mental breakdown and went to a temple to practice Buddhism while still keeping her hair.
Although he has shares left by his grandfather before his death, he still doesn't have much say in the matter.
Fortunately, no matter where you are, strength is often a good thing that can shut people up.
In front of the group's elders, he and his father signed a business betting agreement. The bet was based on shares; if they won, all of his father's shares would go to him, and no illegitimate child would be allowed into the Sheng family, and his father would be forced to leave. If they lost, he would have to hand over all his shares, including his grandfather's, and leave with nothing.
During that time, he was extremely busy, drinking and negotiating business with people everywhere. His Su Su had already been hurt beyond repair by her family of origin, and he was unwilling to share his burdens with her anymore, as that would only make her feel more suffocated.
How did he fall in love with Su Su back then?
Yes, it's exactly the same, the look in their eyes when they're sad and hurt.
They are so alike, except that Su Su's timidity and inferiority complex are only on the surface, while his unease and darkness are all buried deep in his heart.
Sometimes, the magnetic field between people is just that strange. They come from the same family, carry similar scars, and find warmth in each other. With just a glance, you can even understand what the other person is thinking, and thus feel their pain deeply.
Before he returned, he bought an exquisite pink crystal crown at an auction.
He wanted his Susu to be a carefree princess.
But as soon as he got off the plane, he received a call from his personal assistant—SuSu had died in the fire while saving someone.
In that instant, the sky collapsed.
He had never felt such resentment or despair before. When he arrived at the scene, Shen Ke, the young master of the Shen family, was also there. People around him said that a minor celebrity from his family had also died there.
After the old houses burned down, they collapsed into ashes, and with just a gentle breath, everything would vanish.
Everyone says that the person inside is not there.
The person he loved was right here, but he no longer had the chance to collect her remains.
He later checked all the surveillance footage in that area. The place was desolate and remote. But there was a camera pointing directly at the front of the old house, which captured Su Su's face in great detail. He later watched the footage countless times, tormenting himself, watching Su Su run into the fire to save people but being powerless to do anything about it.
He had countless nightmares.
From then on, the sky never brightened again.
And he no longer had a home.
Until yesterday,
As usual, he was hypnotized by a hypnotist. When he came out, he accidentally saw the hypnotist's assistant sitting at the front desk with a phone and a boxed lunch in hand, watching a mukbang video with great interest.
He didn't look closely and lifted his foot to walk out.
His assistant hurriedly called out to him, holding a coat he had left behind last time. As he stood up, he accidentally knocked over his phone from its stand, and the phone fell to the ground, landing at Sheng Shen's feet.
His eyes inadvertently swept across the screen, and his gaze froze. In an instant, he noticed the red mole on the blogger's wrist. This red mole was very special; there was a white mark in the middle!
Su Su has a red mole on her wrist.
He was stunned, his blood seemed to freeze, and he immediately sent someone to check the blogger's identity verification.
It's Su Su.
It's the living Su Su.
……
Sheng Shen dusted himself off and glanced at Su Su's door, but the person inside showed no intention of opening it.
Just then, the phone rang.
The sound of heavy footsteps could be heard from the stairwell.
Sheng Shen didn't pay attention, glanced at his phone, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Ci? What does he want by calling?
"Speak, what is it?"
The man opposite him spoke casually.
"I feel that as a friend, I should kindly remind you. For example..."
Sheng Shen frowned and turned around. "For example?"
The next second, two mercenaries suddenly rushed upstairs. Two black figures flashed by, one quickly pinned Sheng Shen down, and the other knocked him unconscious by hitting him on the back of the neck.
The phone, still glowing on the ground, emitted a leisurely male voice, "For example... you're really terrible."
A mercenary picked up the phone from the ground and respectfully asked, "Boss, what should we do if someone faints?"
"Tsk, what can we do but bring it back."
Sheng Shen still needs to settle accounts with him.
Su Su and Xiao Qi'an were soon picked up by others.
.........
Jiang Ci slowly put away his phone, looked at the surprised woman in front of him, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "What, do you think I'm too heartless?"
Shen Xi shook her head, looking at him with some curiosity, "No, not at all. I was just wondering how you're going to explain this to Sheng Shen when he wakes up? Aren't you two good brothers?"
Jiang Ci poured a glass of water and handed it to Shen Xi, glancing casually at her son sitting next to her before looking away.
"Sheng Shen's relationship needs to be broken down before it can be rebuilt, so I'm doing this to help him."
“Sheng Shen was quite strong-willed and somewhat arrogant a few years ago. It’s highly unlikely that he cheated, but I can’t guarantee whether he did or not. If he does end up losing his credit, you can’t implicate me.”
Jiang Ci spoke with unwavering conviction, his deep peach blossom eyes smiling as he looked at Shen Xi, his gaze captivating.
Shen Xi kept her head down, repeatedly studying the messages on her phone, and said without looking up, "No, that's not the case. However, I felt something was off about the message Su Su sent. Have you looked into Bai Linlin?"
"Don't you find it a bit strange? You, as the male lead, can sense that something is wrong with this world, so why can't the female lead sense it?"
Jiang Ci closed his eyes tightly.
As the saying goes, flirting is for the blind.
“I’ve investigated her, and there are indeed some strange things about her. For example, there are some high-class occasions that she shouldn’t be able to enter at all, but not only can she get in, she can also get all sorts of men to fawn over her.”
"Furthermore, she never dumped Lu Chuan. And Lu Chuan was the least noticeable among all those in power."
Shen Xi frowned. There weren't this many men surrounding the female lead in the novel, were there?
What secret does the female lead have?
