Chapter 35: Meeting Face to Face Without Recognition

When the neurology doctors appeared in the Hospital Ward, Sheng Hanyu was just about to go out.

"Who are you people?" He grabbed the desk lamp in his hand vigilantly, preparing to strike as soon as someone approached.

At this moment, the old man entered from outside, asking Sheng Hanyu in confusion: "Can you see?" The old man was both surprised and happy; if he could see, that would be wonderful.

He did not answer directly: "Who are they? They didn't have my people accompanying them when they came in."

Sheng Hanyu's first reaction was that these people were sent by Sheng Yukai to harm him, but seeing the old man follow him in, he knew it wasn't the case.

The old man did not drop his own question: "Tell me first, can your eyes see?"

"No." The answer was categorical.

"You all go out first."

The old man waved his hand to let the doctors leave, then spoke frankly to his eldest grandson: "Hanyu, tell Grandpa the truth, have your eyes already healed? As long as you nod, I will hand the company back to you immediately. You only need to give a little bit of equity to that good-for-nothing, and I will hand the entire Sheng Family over to you."

This condition was very generous; the old man was certain that no one could refuse it!

However, the answer still disappointed him. Sheng Hanyu shook his head: "Grandpa, my eyes went blind five years ago. Perhaps there is a possibility they might heal in this lifetime, but right now, I truly cannot see."

Before he found Jian Yixin, he had no intention of his eyes "being able to see."

"Fine."

The old man no longer dwelled on this matter and changed the subject, urging his eldest grandson not to continue making a scene. People in Jiangzhou value peace after death, and his current proposal to open the coffin was a slap in the face to the Jian Family.

If this matter was not handled well, the Jian Family would very likely turn against the Sheng Family. By then, instead of being relatives, they would become enemies, which would benefit no one.

"Yixin is still alive, so it doesn't matter whether the coffin is opened or not; it's empty inside anyway." Sheng Hanyu was indifferent.

……

The old man almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. So, all that talking was for nothing, right?

"You bastard, can you think about something else? Don't forget you are a married man now. Your wife is Shi Youxuan, and she is missing. Do I need to teach you who you should be looking for right now?"

The old man finally steered the topic back. If Sheng Hanyu continued to act willfully, he would let the doctors at the door come in to forcibly take him away for a proper brain examination.

Sheng Hanyu looked ashamed: "I have been sending people to look. My people have almost turned the entire Jiangzhou upside down, but I still haven't found her."

"Does Shi Yucheng know?" The old man's tone softened a bit.

Sheng Hanyu nodded: "He knows. I told him."

"If he knows, why are you still making a scene?"

The old man's temper flared up instantly. Right there in the Hospital Ward, in front of Sheng Hanyu, he dialed Shi Yucheng's phone and gave him a thorough scolding.

Shi Yucheng had caused a scene at the hospital because Shi Yuke had stirred up trouble, and later, once his anger subsided, he regretted it himself!

Because of the video incident, he also realized he had been used by others and was currently regretting it at home.

The old man scolded Shi Yucheng, but he was not an unreasonable person. After the scolding, he also comforted Shi Yucheng and told him that he would immediately increase manpower to search for Shi Youxuan and would definitely find her.

After hanging up the phone, the old man made a few more calls, using his connections to quickly suppress the rumors on the internet.

Then, following the clues, no matter how careful Bai Xue was, the old man still found out that the source of the rumors had spread from her.

But he did not tell Sheng Hanyu about this, only telling him to rest well and have fewer unrealistic thoughts, and then he left the hospital.

……

After the old man left, Sheng Hanyu immediately got off the hospital bed. He called a bodyguard to put on a hospital gown and lie in bed to impersonate him, then he changed into the bodyguard's clothes and walked out of the hospital.

The person Sheng Hanyu sent to track Jian Yining told him that the young master of the Jian family had been going to the lakeside Villa very frequently these past two days, and now he was preparing to head there!

The address of the Jian Yining Villa was the place where the fire had occurred back then.

Later, he built an artificial lake in the vicinity and then built a Villa across the lake, watching from afar every day.

Yet Jian Yining had built a house on the original site that was exactly the same as the old Villa.

Even the decorations inside were the same.

With his sister having passed away, Jian Yining was not without resentment toward Sheng Hanyu, but his parents would not let him take revenge, so he built this Villa to torment Sheng Hanyu, letting him see it at all times and suffer the torment of his conscience!

For five years, Sheng Hanyu only dared to watch from afar and never dared to look closely.

Jian Yining had indeed succeeded in his original revenge, tormenting Sheng Hanyu for five years, but he also dared not look, so he went abroad after that incident happened back then and only returned now.

Now that the bodyguard reported Jian Yining was frequently entering and exiting the Villa, Sheng Hanyu quickly guessed that he had hidden someone inside.

……

Jian Yining returned from the Villa in disappointment; Yingzi refused to explain to Sheng Hanyu in person.

She wouldn't say the reason; in any case, she just wouldn't meet him!

Not long after Jian Yining left, Sheng Hanyu arrived. He watched Jian Yining's car drive away before walking over.

If it were before, he certainly wouldn't have had the courage to walk near here, but now it was different. Now it was very likely that Jian Yixin was hidden inside, so there was nothing he dared not do.

Walking into the main gate, Sheng Hanyu took off his sunglasses. Everything in the living room was still the same as it was five years ago, exactly the same!

Every little detail of what had happened here with Jian Yixin back then replayed in his mind like a movie. In the past, whenever he thought of these things, even his breathing would carry pain, but now, thinking of them, they were all sweet.

There was no one in the living room, but there were footsteps and rustling sounds in the room upstairs. Fearing that Jian Yixin would run away again, he didn't dare to shout, but instead slowed his pace and walked gently up the stairs.

The stairs were made of wood. When they were built back then, they only focused on highly restoring the original appearance and didn't pay much attention to the quality of the stairs, so they immediately made a "creak" sound when stepped on.

"Who?" A vigilant question came from upstairs, but the person did not show themselves.

The voice was wrong—hoarse and weathered, as unpleasant as metal scratching on glass.

Shi Youxuan was using a voice changer. Although she didn't see the person, she also knew that the person who came wouldn't be Jian Yining.

Every time Jian Yining reached the door, he would shout out, announcing his identity for fear of scaring her; he would never deliberately lower his footsteps as if afraid of being discovered!

The hoarse and weathered voice was mistaken by Sheng Hanyu as Jian Yixin's throat having been burned back then, which was why her voice had become so unpleasant!

"Yixin, it's me."

Sheng Hanyu said affectionately: "Yixin, is it you?"

After waiting for a long while, no one answered. Sheng Hanyu walked up two more steps. This time, someone spoke: "No, don't come up."

Shi Youxuan had originally intended to leave. She was preparing to move to another place and was packing her luggage upstairs, having just stuffed a teddy bear into the suitcase, when Sheng Hanyu walked in.

She hurriedly hid the box in the utility room, then hid behind a pillar.

"Fine, if you say it isn't, then it isn't. Will you come out and see me?" Sheng Hanyu's voice was a gentleness Shi Youxuan had never heard before; she knew it wasn't meant for her, and she had even less desire to see him.

"No, you leave immediately. If you don't leave, I'm calling the police." Shi Youxuan was very firm.

Sheng Hanyu did not retreat, and even took another step forward: "Are you afraid to see me?"

"I don't know you, leave quickly."

Sheng Hanyu continued to walk up: "Yixin, let me see you, just one look is enough. No matter what you have become, I will not despise you. You are my woman, don't hide from me."
