Chapter 559: Sheng Yukai Returns for Revenge

~8 min read 1,500 words

Shi Youxuan...

"How did you figure it out?"

She hadn't intended to hide it from her husband; she just hadn't found the right time to say it.

In the two days since returning, her husband had been so busy he wished he could split himself into two people—he had to handle all the big and small matters of the company, and he also had to send people out to dig Zhu Yiwen out!

Zhu Yiwen was still alive, and after all, he was a hidden danger.

Especially since he had been rescued by Feiying; with those two mixed up together—the future troubles would be endless!

Sheng Hanyu said: "Moli is watched by Yixin like the apple of her eye; he never leaves her side. Now that he's been boarded at our house for a week and she hasn't come to take a single look, how else would I figure it out? It's so obvious, who wouldn't see it?"

Shi Youxuan thought for a moment, but still couldn't understand how these two things were connected.

But that wasn't important, and she didn't want to keep dwelling on it.

Shi Youxuan got straight to the point: "Sheng Yukai has returned, and he is right here in Jiangzhou."

"What? Where is he?"

Sheng Hanyu was quite surprised to hear such news, and his expression gradually grew grave.

Shi Youxuan: "We don't know where he is either."

He blamed his wife: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big matter? Ze Rong being set up in a honey trap must have been done by someone Sheng Yukai hired."

Shi Youxuan admired her husband's brain; she didn't know how his head was grown, but it was exceptionally clear—he could guess the whole thing with just a slight clue.

"Right, we guessed the same, so Yixin didn't leave because she was angry, but because she didn't want to implicate Ze Rong."

Sheng Hanyu: "Not good, she wants to use herself as bait to lure Sheng Yukai out; it's too dangerous."

"Ah?"

Shi Youxuan finally understood why Jian Yixin had said so many depressing things; it turned out she had this plan in mind.

Jian Yixin carried two bags in each hand, walking back from the supermarket at the entrance of the residential complex.

Someone was following her.

She could feel a pair of eyes behind her, staring at her intently the whole time; it had been like that since she was at the supermarket, and even after she came out, someone had been following her.

"Miss Jian, buying so much stuff?" The captain of the Security Team greeted her.

"Yes," she replied.

She had come here often in the past, and the security guards and the property management lady in the complex were all familiar with her.

"Miss Jian, do you need us to walk you back?" Another security team came over.

"No need, thank you, I can carry it."

Clearly, she could have had the security guards drag out the person behind her, but she still didn't do it; it would be too much of a warning to the enemy, and she didn't want to reveal her trump card so easily.

Walking into the unit door, the feeling of being watched from behind disappeared.

Until she returned home, everything was safe and sound.

The phone notification sounded: "Ding-dong—"

Jian Yixin opened her phone; Shi Youxuan had sent her a WeChat message: What do you want to eat? I'll bring some food over to find you.

Jian Yixin quickly typed a line in the chat box: Don't come over, I have everything I need to eat here.

She wanted to face the unknown danger by herself and not get Shi Youxuan involved.

Shi Youxuan: Already here.

Before long, the couple arrived at the Apartment, carrying large and small bags from the car to ring the doorbell. Jian Yixin came out to open the door, her face sullen, not giving the two of them a good look.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, woman?"

Shi Youxuan put the things at the door and started chattering as soon as she entered: "I brought my husband, I didn't bring your husband, why are you pulling a long face? You didn't say he couldn't come."

Jian Yixin:...

She was twisting the logic.

If it were normal times, the two of them would have started bickering, and then it would have been lively and endless.

But now she had no heart for bickering; she just wanted the two of them to leave quickly.

"Alright, the things are delivered, it's getting late, so I won't keep you two. Hurry back."

Shi Youxuan: "I brought a video of Moli, don't you want to see it?"

She wanted to; she wanted to in her dreams.

Jian Yixin said: "Send it to my phone, I'll watch it slowly."

"Sure, I'll send it in a moment."

Shi Youxuan agreed but didn't take out her phone; instead, she rummaged through a huge bag, taking out food one by one—potato chips, spicy gluten strips, various flavors of yogurt, as well as meat, seafood, vegetables, and fruit.

It was all stuff Jian Yixin liked to eat; these things were enough to last a week in the house even without going out.

"Too much, I can't finish all this," Jian Yixin complained.

Shi Youxuan rolled her eyes at her: "If you can't finish it, eat it slowly. Did you go out to buy things today?"

Jian Yixin: "How did you know? Did you send someone to follow me?"

She had gone out today and could feel someone following her; she had been feeling uneasy the whole time. If the person following her had been sent by Shi Youxuan, she would have been relieved.

Shi Youxuan didn't answer, but Sheng Hanyu replied: "No, we didn't send anyone to follow you, but there was indeed someone following you. Yixin, it's not safe for you to live here alone."

She didn't believe it and asked: "That's not right, I could feel someone following me, but it was only one person. If it wasn't sent by you, how would you know?"

Shi Youxuan said bluntly: "Are you stupid? Are you stupid? If we want to know how you are, do we need to follow you? Can't we just check the surveillance?"

Jian Yixin:...

That's right, how could she have forgotten about that.

The reason this residential complex was called the safest complex, besides the responsible property management and the fact that the security guards were all high-salaried retired soldiers, was that its biggest highlight was the surveillance.

The surveillance is called a highlight not because there are many cameras, but because they are all high-definition video cameras connected to satellites, with a clarity that is hair-raising; not a single criminal who enters the residential compound escapes the net!

Jian Yixin was ecstatic: "So, you know who has been following me, right? Have you caught him?"

Shi Youxuan nodded: "Yes, we know who has been following you, and we have also caught him. The person is right outside the door; do you want to see him?"

Before she could speak, Sheng Hanyu had already reached the main entrance and opened the door: "Come in."

A man wrapped up tightly entered from outside, wearing a black trench coat that reached his ankles, a black baseball cap on his head, and large sunglasses covering most of his face.

But Jian Yixin recognized who the man was at a single glance.

"Sheng Zerong, what the hell are you doing? Why are you sneaking around following me? You nearly scared me to death..." Jian Yixin was furious, pouncing on him and kicking and punching.

Sheng Zerong did not move, neither running nor dodging, standing honestly in place to take the beating.

Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu sat on the sofa watching the spectacle, but just watching wasn't enough; they had to provide commentary!

"Ze Rong is stubborn enough, just standing there like a blockhead taking the beating? Run, coax her, wouldn't either of those be better than just honestly getting hit? Later, when Yixin's hands hurt from hitting, she'll still blame him," said Shi Youxuan.

Her husband glanced at her with a mix of doting and disdain: "Do you think everyone is like you? Unforgiving when you're in the right, and unforgiving when you're in the wrong; Yixin is much more reasonable than you..." Halfway through his sentence, he was met with his wife's cold gaze and immediately shut his mouth.

Jian Yixin did not usually exercise, and sure enough, after kicking and punching for a while, she was panting for breath.

Sheng Zerong took off his sunglasses, tears streaming down his face: "Wife, I really couldn't control the urge to see you."

"Me too." The two embraced.

All of Jian Yixin's mental defenses collapsed in this instant.

To hell with cutting ties; rather than being separated and tormenting each other, it is better to be together and face the unknown storms of life side by side.
