Source of Calamity CH 077 Breakup Part 1

It would take two months to treat Shen Yun’s leg, plus the recuperation period.

Of course, the money was paid by Shen Li. Shen Zhen deducted it from his salary, and now Shen Li was in negative equity.

“Are you coming back tonight?” After washing his hair, Shen Zhen wiped his hair with a towel, and stood on the balcony to call Qin Xing.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Qin Xing said on the other line: “I will be slightly late, so don’t wait for me, go to bed early.”

Shen Zhen: “Okay.”

Though that was what he said, Shen Zhen still left the light on in the living room, took a book, and read for a while in the bedroom with the bedside lamp on.

Shen Zhen also lit the incense to help sleep. Don’t know where Qin Xing bought it but the sleep aid effect was first-rate. Shen Zhen had a bit of insomnia before. Now after lighting the incense and reading a book, it took less than half an hour for him to feel sleepy.

When he felt sleepy, Shen Zhen put the book on the bedside and tucked himself into the comforter to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Shen Zhen heard the slight sound of footsteps outside the door. He turned over and knew that it should be Qin Xing. Then he heard the sound of water, and knew that Qin Xing must be taking a shower.

Shen Zhen remained half asleep until someone hugged him together with the comforter.

Shen Zhen didn’t open his eyes, at the tip of his nose was the refreshing scent of shower gel, and he said softly, “Go to sleep, you’ve been busy until so late.”

Qin Xing didn’t speak, just slipped under the comforter as well.

As soon as Shen Zhen turned over, he hugged Qin Xing’s waist, with a leg even thrown over Qin Xing’s.

Qin Xing sighed leisurely in the dark.

When the sky became bright, Shen Zhen got up from the bed, opened the curtains, and let the sunlight penetrate into the room. He stretched and felt that the muscles and bones of his whole body were relaxed.

“Not sleeping anymore?” Qin Xing asked from the bed behind him.

Shen Zhen put on his clothes with his back to Qin Xing. Qin Xing got off the bed, stepped on the carpet with bare feet, and hugged Shen Zhen from behind.

Shen Zhen still maintained the posture of putting on his clothes: “I’m putting on clothes.”

Qin Xing: “I’ll help you.”

Shen Zhen’s ears were a little red, and they twitched again, causing Qin Xing to pinch an earlobe.

“It’s a little itchy.” Shen Zhen raised his hand to pull the other’s playful one away, but Qin Xing grabbed Shen Zhen’s wrist, and stroked his hand upwards along the wrist.

Shen Zhen finally understood what Qin Xing meant.

Shen Zhen suddenly asked, “Did you turn off the water in the bathroom?”

Qin Xing: “I did.”

Shen Zhen wanted to ask, then why can I still hear the sound of water, was it a hallucination?

But soon, he couldn’t think about anything, he just felt that he had turned into a piece of iron that needed to be forged, every inch surrounded by flames, and not a spot was left untouched.

When the hammer just started to come down slowly, the movement was very slow and soft, like the feeling of a feather falling on the body.

But slowly, the blacksmith seemed to lose his patience, and the hammer fell faster and faster, almost without stopping.

He wanted to call out, to tell the other to slow down, but he couldn’t speak, and could only turn into a puddle of water.

“Slow down,” he begged.

Sure enough, the speed of the hammer slowed down, and its movements became more gentle.

The blacksmith was still asking, “Still want it?”

He gritted his teeth and responded: “Yes!”

When he woke up again, it was already dark, and almost every corner of the house was tainted by them.

When Shen Zhen opened his eyes, Qin Xing’s face was still in his mind.

He still remembered Qin Xing’s expression when he was most excited, like an angry lion, completely lacking in his usual calmness and composure, his back muscles rippling, and his expression appearing ferocious.

Shen Zhen thought about it for a while, and felt a pain in the unspeakable place, so he stopped recalling immediately.

Qin Xing was not in the bedroom at the moment, so Shen Zhen touched himself, and found that what should be cleaned had been cleaned up. He put a bathrobe on and did not wear underwear, for fear of putting pressure on that sore spot. He walked in small steps, inching across the room step by step.

“You’re up?” Qin Xing’s voice came from the kitchen.

Shen Zhen was standing in the living room, he could only stand, he didn’t dare to sit——his butt hurt.

“I’m cooking porridge for you.” Qin Xing said, “Sit down for a while.”

Shen Zhen sat down on the sofa with difficulty, resisting the discomfort, and finally got used to it after a while. What Qin Xing cooked was mung bean porridge, and it was very thick. It was served with the pickled cabbage that Mama Zhang made before, and Shen Zhen quite liked it.

Just when Shen Zhen said he would clean up after eating, Qin Xing said: “You go to rest first.”

Shen Zhen sat on the sofa, and Qin Xing asked, “Want to drink water?”

“How about some fruit?”

Shen Zhen found that he seemed to have suddenly shrunk more than twenty years in age, becoming a baby, and was taken care of by Qin Xing meticulously. If he was not too big, maybe Qin Xing would even carry him to the toilet and help him go to the potty, causing him to not know whether to laugh or cry.

“It’s not too uncomfortable.” Shen Zhen said, “Your technique is pretty good. I didn’t feel much pain. When I first got up, I was just a little uncomfortable. It’s much better now, and you don’t have to be so careful…..”

Qin Xing asked solemnly: “Am I being very careful?”

Shen Zhen: “En, you are just short of helping me go to the potty.”

Qin Xing chuckled: “If you don’t refuse, that’s fine with me too.”

Shen Zhen waved his hand quickly: “No need, I’m not disabled.”

Qin Xing lowered his head and thought deeply, did this mean that there was no problem with what he did?

“This.” Qin Xing took out a small tube of ointment from the cabinet, “Use it before going to bed.”

Shen Zhen: “…..” It seemed that Qin Xing had planned everything for this day, and everything that should be prepared had been prepared.

Shen Zhen looked at the small tube of ointment and thought it was a hot potato. He felt embarrassed when he saw it, but he knew it was for his own good, so he could only reach out and take it.

“There are instructions on it.” Qin Xing said, “There are also disposable gloves and…..”

Shen Zhen quickly interrupted him: “I know, I will read it, thank you, don’t say any more!”

Qin Xing suppressed his smile: “Can you still go to the company tomorrow?”

Shen Zhen rubbed his waist: “It should be fine if the swelling subsides. If the swelling doesn’t subside, I’ll stay at home for another day.”

Qin Xing coughed lightly. Shen Zhen looked over and found that there was movement again.

Shen Zhen was shocked and almost blurted out——”Are you a donkey?!”

But he held back.

After the two of them had dinner, an entire day was wasted away. Shen Zhen looked at his watch and saw that it was already ten o’clock in the evening. He sat on the bed, leaning against the pillow, and talked about the recent events.

“Qin Yue never asked you for help?” Shen Zhen asked.

Qin Xing embraced Shen Zhen with one hand, and turned on the desk lamp with the other: “He won’t look for me at this time.”

Shen Zhen: “Why? His situation is already so miserable.”

Qin Xing said with a smile: “A person like Ah Yue, no matter how he handles matters, the things in his bones will not change. Even if he asks me for help, it will be on the basis of mutual benefit and reciprocity. Now he needs my help unilaterally. If I give him a hand, then to him it’s almost like giving alms.”

Shen Zhen said strangely: “I didn’t realize that he cared so much about face before.”

Qin Xing shook his head: “It’s always been there, you just don’t know him well enough.”

Shen Zhen felt a little strange when he heard this, but he didn’t think deeply about it, and just said, “That’s possible.”

Shen Zhen slept on his side, not daring to lie on his back, as it would be uncomfortable to lie flat. He closed his eyes, thinking while brewing drowsiness, although it was more pleasurable later on, this kind of thing seemed to take up too much time, having to rest two days after each time.

But if it was once a week on Friday night, and then just rest on Saturday and Sunday. This rhythm would be perfect.

Qin Xing lay flat, letting Shen Zhen’s leg rest on his lower abdomen.

Recently, Shen Zhen had become more and more dishonest when sleeping. He often rolled to the other side while sleeping, and liked to flail away the comforter.

Qin Xing would get up every night to straighten him and cover him with the comforter.

At the beginning, Shen Zhen didn’t have these problems when sleeping, it seemed that it was only during this period of time.

Qin Xing reached out and patted Shen Zhen on the back.

He felt that he had prepared quite well.

There was a relaxing environment.

Everything needed was there.

The foreplay also took a lot of time and the prep work was also done very carefully.

Qin Xing kissed Shen Zhen’s forehead before closing his eyes.

He was older than Shen Zhen, and he also hoped that he could always be relied on in Shen Zhen’s eyes. He would age earlier than Shen Zhen but before that, he hoped that Shen Zhen would live happily.

Even if one day they separated and Shen Zhen found someone more suited to him and left him, he also hoped that when Shen Zhen recalled this relationship, there would be a smile on his lips.

But he would never leave, even if Shen Zhen left first, he would still wait in place.

So long as Shen Zhen looked back, he would always be there.

Shen Zhen slept well. When he got up in the morning, the discomfort was completely gone. He looked up and saw that Qin Xing was still sleeping. Shen Zhen propped himself up on the bed with his palm, and nibbled at Qin Xing’s chin.

Qin Xing was woken up, and he lightly slapped Shen Zhen’s buttocks: “Not sleeping anymore? Do you still feel uncomfortable?”

Shen Zhen stood up energetically and stretched in the sun.

“I can go to the company by myself, how about you today?” Shen Zhen asked Qin Xing after getting dressed.

Qin Xing was putting on his trousers, his waist was lean and strong, and Shen Zhen’s gaze couldn’t help lingering. He only looked away after Qin Xing put on his shirt.

It’s okay, he could touch to his heart’s content at night, Shen Zhen thought to himself.

Qin Xing: “I’m going to the company too, and your company happens to be on the way, so I’ll drop you off?”

Shen Zhen said reservedly: “No need, I sold a piece of land last time and though I didn’t make much money, I already bought a car, and I’ll be picking it up today or tomorrow.”

He had been holding back this whole time, and finally found a chance to reveal this news.

Like a child who had scored well in an exam and couldn’t wait to show off to his parents.

Qin Xing said very cooperatively: “Xiao Zhen is so capable?”

Shen Zhen’s face was expressionless, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth revealed his good mood: “Not really, it’s just luck.”

Qin Xing chuckled lowly: “Then why don’t others have such luck?”

Shen Zhen also laughed, and said, “Actually, it’s almost as expected, but I’m not going to sell the bigger ones.”

Qin Xing nodded: “There is indeed no need to sell those few pieces.”

Shen Zhen: “I’ve talked with someone before about cooperating to develop a chain shopping plaza. The funds are already in place, and the planning is almost done. If we’re fast enough, we will be able to start operations at the beginning of next year.”

Qin Xing: “Tell me if you don’t have enough money.”

Shen Zhen was not courteous with him either: “I will.”

“By the way, I bought a Maybach.” When Shen Zhen left, he turned his head and smiled at Qin Xing, “Next time you go to the company, shall I take you there in my car?”

Qin Xing smiled and said, “Okay, will you be my driver?”

Only then did Shen Zhen just realize that he hadn’t touched the steering wheel for several years, so he was a little panicked.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Okay.” Shen Zhen agreed.

No big deal, he could just spend two hours a day practicing driving after getting off work.

After taking the driver’s license test, he never touched the steering wheel again, and all knowledge that should be returned to the trainer had already been returned to the trainer.

After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book CH 083 Officially Eighteen

Yan No. 1 High School.

In the most secluded classroom on the top floor of the teaching building, apart from the sound of the teacher lecturing on the podium, there was only the sound of flipping books and the rubbing of the pen tip against the paper.

The voices of the next class over reading English text came through the wall, covering up the whispers of a few boys in the corner of the last row:

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“…..The news from Chenghua is absolutely reliable.”

“Then He Qianjian rushed out of school just like that?”

“It’s too tragic. He was the last to know that his own birthday party was canceled, if I were him I wouldn’t be able to stay in school either.”

While they were whispering to each other, the class was coming to an end. The homeroom teacher packed up the lesson plans and said with a smile: “The first round of review is over today, and we will start the second round of review tomorrow. At the same time, all courses that are not related to the main subjects will all make concessions to the main subject courses, including the work of your club and some students from the student union…..”

——Ring, ring, ring.

The teacher paused, waited for the bell to pass with a smile, and then said: “So this physical education class will be your last physical education class in high school, students, so cherish it! Class is over!”

For a moment, cheers and wailing intersected, and almost all the students stood up, and only a few boys in the back row still sat together.

Shen Xu’s height had skyrocketed since the beginning of his third year of high school. In just over three months, he grew from 1.7 meters to 1.82 meters. Every time the seating changed, he would move to the back of the classroom a little, and finally moved from beside Jiang Chen to in front of Luo Ze. While class wqs going on, he heard them talking behind him, but he didn’t know what they were talking about. It was the last physical education class, and Luo Ze still sat still and didn’t rush out.

Shen Xu bumped Luo Ze’s desk with his stool: “What are you talking about? It’s the last physical education class, so why aren’t you racing against time to play ball?”

“Tsk.” Luo Ze didn’t raise his head: “Don’t make noise, I’m chatting.”

“If you continue to gossip, you will become a busybody.” Shen Xu took out the basketball under his table, spun it around a few times impatiently, and said, “Will you go or not, if you don’t, I’ll go first.”

“You go first, you go first…..” Luo Ze waved his hands like he was chasing a chicken, and moved closer to the speaker: “Then what do you think the He family is thinking, the rich people’s banquet invitations should not be a small number. And those who would attend He Qianjian’s birthday party must be famous and reputable people, so they have to at least give an explanation.”

Shen Xu, who had already walked two steps away, turned on his foot and moved his head closer: “Who are you talking about?”

“He Qianjian.” A boy said, “The one who ranks below God Jiang every time on the big joint exams.”

“He Qianjian from Chenghua?” Shen Xu was lying on the table with the ball in his arms, and became interested: “What’s up with him?”

“He…..”

……

“Jiangzi, Jiangzi!” Shen Xu sat down at the table in front of Jiang Chen, “I’ve got a gossip for you!”

Without raising his eyes, Jiang Chen casually said, “What gossip?”

“He Qianjian, Little Brother Min’s brother, he will share your birthday with you tomorrow, do you know?” Shen Xu leaned over and said, “His birthday party was canceled for some reason, and he left school in anger. I heard he even smashed his phone.”

Jiang Chen paused: “What’s going on?”

“I don’t know.” Shen Xu rubbed his chin and laughed a few times: “Do you think Little Brother Min knows about this? Although he is his own brother, their relationship is so bad, say, if I tell Little Brother Min, do you think he will be happy or unhappy about this?”

A few guesses flashed through Jiang Chen’s mind, but he couldn’t figure out what it was. Tomorrow was the day when he officially turned 18. Regardless of whether the He family canceled He Qianjian’s birthday party because they knew something or not, he had the absolute right to choose freely.

“Jiangzi?” Shen Xu waved his hand, and seeing Jiang Chen staring at the formula on the draft book thoughtfully, he clicked his tongue and said, “What kind of problem is it that makes our God Jiang so obsessed? Not even resting for a moment in so many days. Ai, forget it, you continue to be addicted to your math formulas, I will go down first and look for Little Brother Min. See you at the basketball court.”

Everyone in the classroom had almost left. Jiang Chen took out his mobile phone from the drawer, got up and went to the rooftop in the corridor on the other side.

“D? Since the end of our cooperation last time, we haven’t contacted each other for a long time. What need could you have with me?”

On the empty rooftop, Jiang Chen’s voice was blurred by the whistling wind: “Help me find out why the He family canceled He Qianjian’s birthday party. There’s quite an uproar so I believe you will find the answer within ten minutes.”

“You really think highly of me.” The other side laughed a few times: “But in order not to disappoint the big-spending old customers, I will do my best.”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen turned around, lay on the railing and looked at his classmates playing ball on the court. Seeing Shen Xu hit a three-pointer then jumping up and hugging Luo Ze next to him, Jiang Chen couldn’t help smiling.

In less than five minutes, the phone rang.

“Find it?”

“Sorry, this incident is indeed a big one, but we haven’t found out the reason for the time being.” The voice over there was a little bit low: “Almost everyone is now guessing the reason why the He family canceled the party. The information is too mixed and as a result the truth has become difficult to filter out.”

“The He family is now as closed as an iron bucket, and no news has been revealed. There is no movement from He Yanjun, He Yanya is still in the laboratory, and there is nothing unusual about He Yanfeng’s Tunan Group. But what is suspicious is that the He Yanfeng couple took their youngest daughter who originally had cram school today to the He family’s old house early in the morning, and they still haven’t come out even now.”

“I am guessing, this should be a matter within the He family, and it is very likely that the incident happened suddenly but will have a great impact on the He family.”

The corners of Jiang Chen’s lips were lightly pursed, and after a moment of silence, he said flatly, “I see, the money will still be wired to your account, thank you.”

“No need.” The other side chuckled and said, “One can’t accept a reward for nothing, and this news will be treated as an old customer benefit.”

“Thanks.”

Jiang Chen put away his mobile phone, turned around and went downstairs. But as soon as he reached the court, he saw the class monitor Tang Qixun running over panting, “Director Liu asked me to tell you to go to the principal’s office.”

Jiang Chen: “Do you know what it is?”

Seeing his unhurried appearance, Tang Qixun couldn’t help pushing him towards the office building: “I don’t know, but it should be an important matter. Director Liu is very anxious and has come out to look for you a few times in person. Hurry up and go. Lest he keeps coming out all the time and we can’t even play in peace.”

Jiang Chen clicked his tongue, turned around and said, “So you’re using me to dodge the bullet, huh?”

“How could that be?” Tang Qixun smiled innocently: “Isn’t this the last physical education class? Everyone just wants to relax. As soon as Director Liu comes out, those who are dating dare not hold hands. For the happiness of us brothers, you must sacrifice a little bit.”

Before even reaching the office building, Jiang Chen and Tang Qixun ran into Director Liu. Director Liu ran over immediately when he saw Jiang Chen, and said in a hurry, “Where did you kid go, I couldn’t find you at all, come with me quickly.”

Jiang Chen was dragged by Director Liu all the way to the door of the small conference room in the techers’ office. He took a breath, lowered his voice and said to Jiang Chen: “When you go in, just talk as usual, old professor Xiang is inside too, so don’t be nervous.”

“Grandpa Xiang?”

“Yes.” Director Liu patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder and smiled: “Okay, let’s go in.”

The door of the conference room opened, and there were five people sitting and standing all over the room. All of them looked towards this side at the sound of the door opening.

“Student Jiang Chen, come in quickly.” The principal walked over, smiled kindly at Jiang Chen, turned around and said to the two people who were sitting and standing, “We’ll be going out first.”

The standing middle-aged man said: “Sorry for the trouble.”

The principal smiled and patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder: “Behave well.”

Jiang Chen nodded slightly. His gaze swept over the shoulder straps of the middle-aged man standing by the window and the two young soldiers next to him, and landed on old Mr. Xiang.

The door of the meeting room was closed again, and old Mr. Xiang waved to Jiang Chen, and said with a smile, “Xiao Chen, this is Major General Wu from the 17th National Defense Research Institute of the Ministry of Military Affairs.”

The imposing eyes of the middle-aged man glanced at him, and Jiang Chen raised his eyes, polite but not dodging, smiled and said: “Hello, Major General Wu, I am Jiang Chen.”

“Hello, Jiang Chen.”

After greeting, Wu Shao pulled out a chair, motioned to Jiang Chen to sit, and went straight to the point: “I learned from Mr. Xiang that you developed an image processing system by yourself, and I want to ask you to know more about it.”

Jiang Chen sat down calmly, and said, “What aspect does Major General Wu want to know about?”

“In regards to military affairs.” Major General Wu said.

Jiang Chen smiled and said: “When developing this system, I did consider its multiple uses, including military and medical uses, but before answering you, I want to ask a question.”

Major General Wu: “Go ahead.”

“Did you come to me this time in the name of the country or as an individual?”

“As an individual.” Major General Wu said, “But after learning about your system, I will choose whether to report it to the National Military Research Institute according to the situation.”

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: “Major General Wu, please forgive me for not being able to communicate with you the image processing system I am currently researching. As a scientific researcher, it is my responsibility to protect my own research results. I hope you can understand.”

Major General Wu paused, his tone difficult to distinguish: “Little friend, do you think you are already a scientific researcher?”

Jiang Chen smiled: “In your eyes, what is a scientific researcher?”

“One at least must have produced certain results.” Major General Wu said: “So coming to you today, I want to make sure whether you can become an excellent scientific research worker.”

“I already am.”

The young man’s brows were slightly raised, his tone was calm, and when the words that sounded arrogant came out of his mouth, it didn’t make people feel displeased, instead it just felt high-spirited, and people couldn’t help but feel a little convinced.

A trace of surprise flashed across Major General Wu’s eyes, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: “How will you prove it?”

“If you came in the name of the country, I can prove it at any time.”

“In that case.” Major General Wu stood up, turned around and walked directly to the door: “Prove it to me.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The two soldiers who had been standing at the door saluted, and when Major General Wu went out, the young soldier who was half a step behind the other two quickly gave Jiang Chen a thumbs up, and then followed.

Old Mr. Xiang stood up, pointed at him, and said with a smile, “Oh you, let’s go.”

Jiang Chen curved his eyes and smiled. He supported old Mr. Xiang all the way to the low-key off-road vehicle at the gate of the school.

After Becoming The Tyrant CH 092 Recapturing The Castle

Three days later, night.

The King and the Iron Rose Cavalry stood quietly in the northwest of the Blackstone Fortress. When the warhorses breathed, the steam from their noses turned into clouds of white mist. The rushing Lacey River in front of them made splashing sounds. This was a night suitable for infighting and a coup d’état, the sky was very cloudy and there was no moonlight at all.

The King was at the front of the line, and he lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the long river that flowed eternally.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He remembered the early days when the Duke of Buckingham had taught tactics to him in his brief moments of lucidity, when he was Pureland, Pureland who was shadowed by madness. He remembered that when he was young, except for the Duke of Buckingham and his cousin Johan, few people actually wanted to approach him, because no one knew when His Majesty the King, who was violent by nature, would suddenly go mad and kill someone.

Everyone knew that Legrand’s Lord and Master was a bloody tyrant, and only that old man would stroke his hair gently, and when he was entrenched in a fit of madness, he would walk over the mess on the ground and take away the sword in his hand to prevent him from hurting himself.

An old man guarding his crazy nephew, the Rose Palace in those years was actually quite empty of any signs of life.

Pureland, although shattered and corrupted, in the end there will come the beauty of rebirth.

His rebirth came too late, too late that he hadn’t had the chance to let his uncle know that he never forgot the battle tactics his uncle taught him.

On afternoons in the royal palace, in the lounge room of the young king, sunlight would come in through the beautiful rose windows, spreading magnificent light and shadow on the ground. When he was a child, his toys were different from that of other children. It was a huge military sand table filled with large and small flags. The Duke of Buckingham simulated various war situations, and both uncle and nephew would fight out battles on the sand table.

“The monarch is actually the most important banner on the battlefield. The significance of the banner of the monarch is not that one person’s strength could change the entire battle situation, but that when the monarch is the same as his soldiers, all swords will follow his will. If the monarch could be the first to charge bravely, his soldiers would not back down no matter how powerful the enemy is. This is the meaning of the royal banner.”

“In war, kindness, forgiveness, and ruthlessness…..are just means to an end. One would rather bear the criticism of lacking virtue than pursue the emptiness of mercy. Your Majesty, you must possess the bravery of a lion, the cunning of a fox, and the cruelty of a poisonous snake.”

In the afternoon sun, the Duke of Buckingham inserted the banner on his high ground and devoured his captain.

Did you see it?

The King asked softly in his heart.

He was already brave enough, as his uncle wanted, and fearlessly he was always the first to meet the enemy on all battlefields. He was already cunning enough, as his uncle wanted, and ingeniously he schemed to gain the greatest benefit. Living up to his uncle’s expectations, he possessed the courage of a lion, the cunning of a fox, and the cruelty of a poisonous snake.

The King longed to look back at that carriage in the middle of the army.

Splash, splash.

The sound of water splashing suddenly became louder.

The King looked up and saw a fleet of boats coming from the direction of the Blackstone Fortress opposite them. General Sheehan turned his head and waved to the longbowmen behind him, ordering them to be on guard just in case.

One of the fleet of boats that came out of the fortress occupied by the rebel army on the opposite side quickly rowed to the shore of the island in the middle of the river.

A soldier without armor jumped out of the boat, approached, and knelt down in front of the King: “Everything is ready, the general and the marquis are already in action, and everything is going well.”

The King recognized this soldier, he was a soldier of General Vulture among the prisoners they released, and it was through him that the King delivered the second letter to General Vulture.

The King nodded.

The fleet quickly lined up on the river, and speedily laid out a wide pontoon bridge. The King pulled the reins and was the first to step onto the slightly undulating pontoon bridge. The iron cavalry followed closely, and Legrand’s army set foot on the second Blackstone Fortress without a single battle.

At this time, the rebel army on the Blackstone Fortress had already taken off the white salamander flag and replaced it with the bloody royal flag.

The King led the army and did not stop.

The second pontoon bridge was also built soon, and this time, it was directly connected from the second Blackstone Fortress to the opposite Bomari Castle.

All the horses’ hoofs were wrapped in cloth, and when they moved, they were as quiet as the night.

In the end, the King did not look back at the carriage in the army.

He faced forward the whole way, and wherever he passed, the original rebels put down their weapons and knelt down on the ground.

When he stepped onto the sandy ground in front of Bomari Castle, the King looked up and saw that the castle that originally belonged to the Rose family was faintly flickering with fire in the dark night.

The King looked coldly at the flames.

General Sheehan was by the King’s side. He saw the King’s eyes at this time, and couldn’t help being slightly taken aback. In the light of the torch, the King’s face was cold and stern, and he looked at the castle as if it was not a castle to take back, but a sand table that belonged to him.

He was the master of the sand table, and all the mixed banners and ever changing battles in the sand table were just games that followed his will.

………………

Within Bomari Castle was a scene completely different from the outside quietness.

The fire dragon rolled and burned in the center of Bomari Castle. At this time, the interior of Bomari Castle had already fallen into a melee.

Lantoft, wearing heavy armor, carried his huge battle ax, and with one blow he killed an approaching Balboa soldier. The soldier’s head flew high, and blood gushed out of his cranial cavity, splashing all over Lantoft’s body, making him as ferocious as an evil demon in a nursery rhyme.

“Excellent! As expected of Balboa’s vulture!”

Lantoft didn’t wipe the blood on his face. He looked at the front coldly, and laughed angrily.

After General Vulture entered the inner city, he settled in a large and magnificent mansion. At this time, the fountain in the wide courtyard was filled with corpses, and blood flowed on the cold rocks. Lantoft led the soldiers to break through the door, preparing to kill General Vulture. On his charge here, he found himself surrounded by the soldiers of Balboa and Chavos.

Lantoft glanced coldly at the old Marquis of Chavos State and General Vulture standing not far away.

“You forced us to do this.” General Vulture held up the torch, with a smug smile on his face, “We are all rebels, but Newcastle wants to be the King of Balboa and Chavos. How presumptuous.”

“The Marquis came to see me and told me about you defecting over to Legrand. Did you plan this together?”

“Actually, at the meeting, the reason why Lord Marquis proposed to have us retreat to Chavos State is exactly because we had already discussed it before.” General Vulture smiled, “Who doesn’t know that the ‘Red Beard’ of Newcastle is full of suspicions? If we didn’t first let you feel that the Marquis harbors ambitions, how could you believe the Lord Marquis’ words?”

“Good, good, good!” Lantoft almost gritted his teeth and said, “Lord Marquis, you are indeed talented at double-dealing.”

In order to take out the treasure in Bomari Castle, Lantoft’s soldiers have suffered a lot of losses during this time. That was why he refused from the very beginning for the allies to cooperate in stationing in the inner city of Bomari, just because he was afraid that his allies would find out the truth about his strong outer appearance but weak inner forces. After being forced to give in at the meeting, Lantoft had already started pondering about how to get rid of his allies for good.

When the Marquis of Chavos approached him and told him that General Vulture had defected to Legrand, Lantoft, who had already been suspicious, launched the night purge without hesitation.

It was just that he didn’t expect that the other party was waiting for his arrival all along.

“What you have done is not much better than our actions.” General Vulture also sneered, “Balboa and Chavos formed an alliance with you, but we have no intention of being pawns in your hands. You wanted us to serve as cannon fodder, while you secretly planned to dig the treasure and escape. But do you really think that everyone doesn’t know the truth?”

Lantoft’s eyes narrowed slightly: “How do you know about the treasure?”

“Because we’re not stupid.”

General Vulture snorted coldly.

Lantoft glanced at the corpses of Balboa soldiers on the ground: “Sacrificing the soldiers under you, letting me lower my vigilance, and then joining Chavos’ army to ambush me…..Aren’t you afraid that our Lord Marquis will betray you too?”

General Vulture’s expression was slightly ugly, just like what Lantoft said, in order to trick Lantoft, he did not inform his soldiers about tonight, so Lantoft easily killed to the core of the garrison, only for him and the Marquis to surround him.

This time, he indeed suffered a heavy loss.

Lantoft’s words made him faintly uneasy.

The soldiers in the courtyard today were all subordinates of the old Marquis. If the Marquis was persuaded by Lantoft and turned around to deal with him, then he had no power to resist.

The Marquis who was standing on the side hastily reminded him: “General, the treasure has already been loaded into your carriage.”

General Vulture instantly returned to calmness.

When discussing how to act with the Marquis, General Vulture had doubts about whose soldiers to sacrifice as bait. Eventually it was agreed to sacrifice Balboa’s soldiers. After the Battle of Blackstone Fortress, Balboa’s army strength had already been hit hard. If Chavos’s soldiers were sacrificed, it would be difficult for them to compete with Lantoft.

But in exchange, the treasure that Lantoft found would be loaded on General Vulture’s convoy after they act.

That was enough treasure for them to enlist the Holy Court!

General Vulture had no intention of actually surrendering to Legrand!

In their plan, after killing Lantoft and taking the treasure, they would quickly retreat to Chavos Castle, and then use the treasure found in Bomari Castle to ask the angels of the Holy Court to provide aid——Lantoft kept the news well hidden, but who didn’t have such a thing as spies?

They also knew how the Duke of Buckingham died!

If there was such an existence to take action, their rebellion would not fail. The fact Lantoft still gritted his teeth and did not give up after most of Newcastle was taken away, wasn’t it because he had the very same idea?

“Kill him!”

General Vulture didn’t want to waste time with Lantoft any longer.

“You actually thought you are the winner…..” Lantoft laughed out loud when he was pointed at by a sharp arrow, “You fool…..”

A sharp arrow pierced his throat, and the ambitious Red Beard fell backwards, slamming heavily on the stone slab.

The other having finally died, General Vulture breathed a sigh of relief, he turned to look at the Marquis next to him: “Okay, let’s go quickly, the second fortress won’t stop the King for long…..What are you doing! Have you forgotten our agreement?”

General Vulture’s voice was full of panic and anger.

After killing Lantoft, the archers of Chavos State did not put away their bows and arrows, but turned around and aimed at him.

“You betrayed me?! You are the one who really defected to Legrand!”

General Vulture realized something.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“The general betrayed Lantoft, and betrayed His Majesty.” The old Marquis laughed coldly. “Shouldn’t a person like the general be very forgiving of betrayal?”

“Aren’t you afraid that Legrand will settle accounts?!”

“Balboa State and Newcastle State have committed a lot of good deeds in the rebellion. Of course, you will worry about His Majesty’s reckoning, but Chavos State has done nothing.” The old Marquis smiled complacently.

As he spoke, he waved his hand:

“By His Majesty’s order, kill the traitor.”

Source of Calamity CH 076 Brothers Part 2

This was not an inn, just a residential house, but it was converted into a rental area by the owner himself. Except for the load-bearing walls, everything that could be dismantled was demolished, and then made into partitions. Such partitions were more airtight than those in the corridor, many rooms had no windows, so the air circulation was not good. People who were sick would only get worse if they stayed in it.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Li led Shen Zhen to door No. 3, in fact it was just a yellow wooden board, which looked flimsy and not strong at all. Shen Li just reached out to knock on the door, but as soon as he put his hand on it, the door opened by itself.

There was a very awful smell coming from within.

Like a toilet that hadn’t been flushed in ages.

“What’s so stinky!”

“It stinks! What’s going on!”

“Did the toilet blow up?!”

Shen Li and Shen Zhen’s faces also showed disgust, but they could only walk into the room and close the door.

Room No. 3 was not next to the window, and there was a person lying on the bed. Shen Yun looked very different from before. He had lost a lot of weight, his cheeks had sunken in, and his body muscles had also disappeared. Fortunately, his original foundation was still there and he was not really a skeleton yet.

“Shen Yun?” Shen Zhen called out.

Only then did Shen Yun open his eyes. When he saw Shen Zhen and Shen Li, he turned over, apparently not wanting to talk to them: “Why are you here? I didn’t invite you here, so go away and do what you should do.”

Shen Li: “Shen Yun, are you crazy? Look at yourself now, how can you stand the smell in your room? Do you remember what you were like before?”

Shen Yun didn’t react at all, like a puppet. He said after a few seconds: “It’s none of your business what I’m like.”

“Shen Zhen, are you here to laugh at me? How about it? Is a joke like me funny enough for you?”

Shen Zhen said seriously: “It’s really not that funny, but it does stink.”

Shen Yun’s expression became a little distorted.

He regretted it a long time ago, but he gritted his teeth and dared not say that he regretted it. What kind of life did he have here? He had a lame foot, and he didn’t dare to go anywhere, for fear that he would lose face for the rest of his life if he met an acquaintance.

He went out to eat the cheapest box lunch every day. There were only two toilets in this shared house, and they were basically occupied by people every day. He had no choice but to buy two plastic buckets with lids and settle them in this room.

But the plastic buckets were not completely airtight, and there was always a smell in the room.

Over time, the smell couldn’t go away at all.

If only Shen Li came to look for him now, he would have definitely accepted a helping hand, but he didn’t expect Shen Zhen to come too. In front of Shen Zhen, he must not show weakness, he must hold on even if he had to force himself.

“Now you have seen enough, can you go?” Shen Yun said, almost gnashing his teeth.

Shen Zhen suddenly asked: “Are you planning to live here for the rest of your life? Or are you still waiting for Su Shiqing to come to you or Shen Mu to pick you up?”

“You are already in your twenties, stop having such unrealistic dreams.”

Shen Li also said beside him: “Third Brother tricked me out of two hundred thousand yuan, I can’t find him anywhere.”

Shen Yun: “…..”

He knew in his heart that Su Shiqing would not come to look for him, if he had, he would have come long ago, so why wait until now? He just didn’t want to admit it, how embarrassing would it be if he had to admit it? Wouldn’t admitting it mean that he was a total loser?

Shen Li said: “Second Brother, how about I take you away, you’re lame in the leg now, go back and talk to Dad, Dad won’t drive you out again.”

Shen Yun finally said bitterly: “How can I have the face to go back?”

He was the second youngest of the Shen family. Apart from Shen Zhen, he was the most promising heir. As a result, he had put himself into such a state that he didn’t even know how to go out to see people anymore.

Now Shen Yun didn’t dare to think about the future, locked in his shell like a tortoise, living day by day, sometimes thinking, if he didn’t force Shen Li to apologize to Su Shiqing, maybe he wouldn’t have been kicked out by his father.

What if he found a job after being kicked out of the house, after all he graduated from a prestigious university, so no matter what he would not be able to starve to death.

But just for the sake of saving face, he pushed himself to a desperate situation step by step.

Why did he ask Shen Li to apologize to Su Shiqing? Because he was the older brother of the three brothers since they were children, he basically took it for granted that his younger brothers should obey him and not disobey him.

Why didn’t he go get a job? Because he thought he was the heir of the Shen family, how could he work for others?

Every time Shen Yun thought of this, he didn’t dare to think about it any further.

Shen Zhen: “Your lame leg, do you intend to let it be lame forever?”

Shen Yun gritted his teeth: “It’s none of your business, I will find a way myself.”

Shen Zhen: “En.”

Shen Zhen said to Shen Li: “You have seen him already, let’s go.”

Shen Li lowered his head so that no one could see his expression, but he did not refuse Shen Zhen’s suggestion to leave, as if he would follow Shen Zhen when he left.

Shen Zhen opened the door of the room.

“Wait!” Shen Yun finally couldn’t hold back anymore, he got up from the bed and took a few steps forward, “You, I…..I…..”

Shen Zhen turned his head to look at Shen Yun: “Go find Su Shiqing, we won’t stop you.”

Shen Yun: “He, he…..”

Shen Li couldn’t help but say: “Forget about him! It’s not like you don’t know that when you are useful, you are Second Brother Shen, to him but when you are useless, you are just a disabled and cripple living in a low-rent house. Are you that stupid?!”

Shen Yun’s face turned red and then white.

Didn’t he know? Of course he already knew!

But he would rather not know!

Otherwise, it would make him look even more stupid. He fell into this state for a person who didn’t like him, he was a complete joke to anyone who sees him.

Shen Yun finally lowered his head. Facing Shen Zhen, he finally lowered his posture, bowed at the waist and said to Shen Zhen, “I want to heal my leg.”

“I don’t want to go back to the Shen family.”

“It’s too embarrassing.”

Shen Zhen: “If you don’t go back to the Shen’s, where do you want to go?”

Shen Yun looked at Shen Zhen blankly.

Shen Zhen: “Forget it, let’s go out first.”

Shen Li also realized that they had stayed in this room for too long, such that their noses had even gotten used to the smell, but it didn’t mean that the smell didn’t exist.

Shen Li supported Shen Yun to go out, and the three of them stood by the roadside, still not having decided where to go.

Shen Yun thought all the way as he walked, and said in a low voice: “I want to find a job for myself.”

At any rate, with some accomplishments, he would then have the face to go back to the Shen family.

Shen Yun was a person who valued face more than anything else.

Shen Yun looked at Shen Zhen’s expression, and said in a slightly begging tone, “Big Brother, I want to work in your company, and I can work from the bottom.”

Shen Li also looked at Shen Zhen, as if begging Shen Zhen to agree.

Shen Zhen asked, “Why should I agree?”

Shen Yun froze.

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “But I can show you a way. It’s up to you whether you want to go or not.”

Shen Yun: “Tell me.”

Shen Zhen’s voice was very gentle: “You know the relationship between Su Shiqing and Qin Yue, right?”

Shen Yun nodded: “They are lovers.”

Shen Zhen said: “In this case, you can go to Qin Yue’s company. Your surname is Shen, and you hold a grudge against me. Qin Yue will let you in. Maybe your position will not even be that low after you go in. The starting point is comparably higher than if you were to go to my company.”

Shen Yun looked at Shen Zhen strangely. He had already put himself in Shen Zhen’s hands. If Shen Zhen wanted to deal with him and torment him, wouldn’t it be more convenient to put him by his side?

Shen Li said from the side: “Shen Yun, don’t be foolish! Don’t tell me that you still want to see Su Shiqing?”

Shen Yun suddenly said: “I understand.”

Shen Zhen looked at Shen Yun with a half-smile: “What do you understand?”

Shen Yun: “I will go to Qin Yue’s company, and I know what to do.”

Shen Zhen understood what Shen Yun meant, and he suddenly asked strangely: “Can I ask you a question?”

Shen Yun’s expression became much sturdier, like the proud young master of the Shen family from before: “Go ahead.”

Shen Zhen: “What made you change your mind?”

Shen Yun really had no feelings left for Su Shiqing?

Shen Yun: “I have to find out no matter what, how the perpetrator can live so well when I am like this.”

Shen Zhen understood.

A person like Shen Yun was always like this, he would never admit his own mistakes, and could always find someone to blame. He used to blame Shen Li, but now he blamed Su Shiqing, thinking that it was Su Shiqing who made him into what he was now.

He didn’t think of himself as being in an unrequited love, nor did he think of himself as having wishful thinking.

He only felt that Su Shiqing had seduced him, but left him at a critical juncture. He put all the problems on Su Shiqing’s head.

So now Shen Yun hated Su Shiqing so much that he gnashed his teeth.

Just like he hated Shen Zhen in the previous life.

But there was one thing about him that was better than Shen Mu, at least if he and Shen Mu’s situations were reversed, he wouldn’t abandon his younger brother so easily.

Shen Mu was a complete egoist. He had no familial affection, no friendship, only interests in his eyes.

When Shen Yun could give him benefits, he was Shen Yun’s most loyal younger brother, but if Shen Yun couldn’t, he just abandoned Shen Yun without blinking an eye.

If Shen Zhen thought about it seriously, none of the brothers of the Shen family, including himself, were normal.

“After I go to Qin Yue’s company.” Shen Yun said, “I will give you all the information that should be given to you, but now I want to treat my leg, I want my leg to be exactly the same as before, I also need a place to live, money and a car.”

Shen Zhen sneered: “Are you worth so much? I don’t need to put someone in Qin Yue’s company either.”

Shen Yun didn’t expect Shen Zhen to say that, and for Shen Zhen to act so uncaring.

Shen Yun thought the deal was a sure thing, but now he panicked. He looked at Shen Zhen and asked in an unsteady tone: “Then what do you want?”

Shen Zhen smiled and said: “Actually, it’s fine if you can also go to Qin Yue’s company. I can also find someone to treat your leg. But there is no house, so you have to squeeze in with Shen Li. There is no car either but you can choose the bus or subway.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Yun: “Okay.”

He sold himself.

When Shen Yun got into the car, he was still thinking that after he stepped Qin Yue under his feet, he must take a good look at Su Shiqing’s face.

When that pretty face becomes twisted, it must be even more lovely.

After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book CH 082 Canceled Birthday Party

On Saturday, He Qianjian arrived at the school at 7:30 as usual.

Although Chenghua was a private high school, there were less than 30% of students in the international classes and students who choose international courses, while the rest of the students would take the domestic college entrance examination, so the study atmosphere in the third year of high school was also very strong.

When He Qianjian arrived, most of the classmates had already arrived in the classroom. As soon as he walked into the classroom, a boy with a good relationship with him came up to him: “Birthday star, did you bring invitations today? We are all waiting to attend your birthday party tomorrow.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Of course I have.” Standing at the podium, He Qianjian slowly took out a stack of invitations from his schoolbag, raised his chin slightly and glanced at the students who were looking this way. With lips curved up slightly, he placed the invitations on a boy’s desk nearest to the front and said with a faint smile: “Everyone has been classmates for three years, how could I forget you all. Other than the  few classmates who have already received invitations from my family, I have brought the invitations of other classmates, you can help me give them out.”

“Really?”

“We can all go?!”

“Long live Brother Jian, Brother Jian is the best!”

The boy at the first desk gave out the invitations. Most of those who received the invitations were students who had no contact with the He family or who were not qualified to attend the He family banquets. Now it was not surprising they were delighted to receive the invitation from He Qianjian. For a while, the classroom was full of congratulations and compliments.

He Qianjian went to his seat and sat down. Many students gathered around and asked about his birthday party one by one.

“Brother Jian, I heard that film king Li will also attend your birthday, is it true?”

He Qianjian said unhurriedly: “Although film king Li is in the entertainment industry, he is from the Li family, so he should come.”

“Film king Li is from the Li family?” A girl wowed, and said in surprise: “It turns out that film king Li is not only good at acting, but also has such a good family background!”

Someone asked, “What about the Xu family?”

“The Xu family will definitely go.” Someone said: “Isn’t there a lot of cooperation between the Xu family and Brother Jian’s family company? Am I right, Brother Jian.”

He Qianjian nodded: “The Xu family will attend.”

“That’s not what I’m talking about.” The boy who asked the question before beckoned mysteriously, and waited for everyone else to come over, then lowered his voice and said: “I heard that the Xu family recently recognized an illegitimate child. Guess this time if the Xu family will bring that illegitimate child with them to the banquet or not?”

“Where did you hear that?”

“Really? I haven’t heard of it!”

“Brother Jian, do you know?”

He Qianjian rotated his wrist, his eyelids lowered, his eyes falling on his own hand, and his tone showed a trace of disdain: “It’s just an illegitimate child, why should I know anything about it.”

The several people who were interested in gossip were stunned when they heard the words, and after looking at each other, someone laughed dryly and said, “Hahaha that’s true, what is Brother Jian’s identity, how could an illegitimate child matter in your eyes.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” The others echoed, “Don’t even mention the Xu family’s illegitimate son, even film king Li can’t be seen in our Brother Jian’s eyes. He is just a branch member of the Li family. How could he compare with our Brother Jian who will inherit the Tunan Group in the future.”

He Qianjian glanced at the person who spoke, and laughed: “My horoscope hasn’t even been written yet, how do you know that I will inherit our company and not He Qianmin.”

Hearing the pleased tone in He Qianjian’s voice, the speaker’ eyes flickered and he said with a smile: “How can we not know, difference exists between even blood brothers, right? How could Second Young Master He compare to Brother Jian? Besides, the family business is generally inherited by the eldest son, who else can inherit the Tunan Group besides you?”

“Heh.”

There was an abrupt sneer in the classroom, and the boy sitting in the corner crossed his legs, looked at the group of people with a half-smile, and applauded: “The He family hasn’t even decided who will inherit Tunan, yet you guys have already decided everything clear and loud. How about at He Qianjian’s birthday party tomorrow, you guys can go on stage and force a coup, shout out loud and knock He Yanfeng off the stage to make room for He Qianjian.”

The person who was flattering just now blushed and wanted to refute, but he dared not speak because of the boy’s family background.

The coldness in He Qianjian’s eyes flashed, but he turned his head and still smiled: “Wang Wei is just joking, Zhang Yanjing, why do you have to take it so seriously.”

Zhang Yanjing sneered: “The illegitimate son of the Xu family, the actor of the Li family, oh, and your younger brother He Qianmin, no one can compare to you who is high and superior, tsk tsk tsk, Eldest Young Master He is really majestic, I just wonder, aren’t you afraid that the wind will blow to hard and you’ll break your waist?”

He Qianjian’s face turned cold: “Zhang Yanjing, don’t think that because you are from the Zhang family, I dare not touch you.”

Zhang Yanjing shook his crossed leg, and lazily hooked his fingers: “Come on then, I want to see how the refined and cultured scum, an animal dressed up in a suit, Eldest Young Master He plans to get back at me.”

He Qianjian’s face was dark, and don’t know what he thought of but he suddenly sneered: “I want to fight with you, but I’m afraid that tomorrow when we will appear in front of everyone with a bruised nose and a swollen face, I wonder where Minister Zhang’s face will be put.”

All the students here know that Zhang Yanjing’s biological mother passed away early, and his father was extremely strict with him, and hated it the most when he got in fights with others. And if the fight even reached the front of the scenes, he would definitely have nothing good waiting for him when he went back home.

Zhang Yanjing narrowed his eyes instantly, and was just about to speak when his phone sounded. He suppressed his anger and clicked on the message icon. Don’t know what he saw but he raised his eyes and looked at He Qianjian, a trace of sympathy along with the ridicule obvious in the curve of his smirk.

Everyone thought that Zhang Yanjing would get angry, but who knew that he just glanced at He Qianjian, let out a sneer, and then took out his textbook. Looking like a different person from his usual appearance when this matter was mentioned, which made the surrounding classmates feel very confused and unable to figure it out.

He Qianjian also thought that Zhang Yanjing was acting strange, but he didn’t think much about it. He just thought that Zhang Yanjing was scared. Just when the bell rang for the first period, he suppressed the sneer on his lips and turned back to his seat.

At the same time, He Yanfeng had brought his wife and daughter to the He family’s old family house.

Old Mrs. He received a call from them early in the morning so she was preparing in the kitchen early, and when they arrived, there was already a sumptuous breakfast on the table.

“Why are you here so early today?” Old Mrs. He smiled and held her little granddaughter’s hand, and said, “Qian Yu doesn’t need to go to cram school today, so she came to accompany her grandparents, right?”

Holding her grandmother’s hand, He Qianyu said coquettishly, “I miss you so much, Grandma, so today Dad let me take time off to see you.”

“Yoh, missing Grandma so much you asked for leave!” Old Mrs. He sat at the dining table with He Qianyu in her arms, and waved over old Mr. He who just came in from the yard, “Hurry up, the children are here, we are just waiting for you.”

Old Mr. He frowned and said: “What’s the matter, not only coming here so early in the morning, and even making Qian Yu ask for leave from school. That’s too inappropriate.”

He Yanfeng and Yang Yun looked at each other, Yang Yun said with a smile: “Dad, let’s eat first, we’ll talk after we finish.”

Old Mr. He glanced at the document envelope in He Yanfeng’s hand, and nodded: “Everyone have a seat.”

After breakfast, He Yanfeng followed old Mr. He into the study room. Facing his father, he didn’t bother to make much preparation, and just handed over the envelope and said, “Dad, take a look at this.”

Old Mr. He raised his eyes to look at him, took the reading glasses on one side, opened the envelope and took out the report inside. He frowned when he saw the paternity test, turned to the back directly, paused for a moment, and then opened the second report. After reading all the pages, he placed the reports heavily on the table, and said in a deep voice, “What’s going on?”

“I don’t know either.” He Yanfeng lowered his eyes and said calmly, “Maybe there was a mistake at the hospital when Qian Jian and Jiang Chen were born.”

“Mistake?!” Old Mr. He slammed the table twice, his chest heaving with anger: “When we agreed for you and Yang Yun to come back, you brought He Qianjian’s paternity test with you. At that time, he was already three months old. How could it be the wrong child brought back from the hospital when he was already three months old?”

Old Mr. He pushed his chair back and stood up, pointed to the report and said, “Please tell me clearly, what’s going on! Who produced this report? Why did you think of going to investigate this?”

“Xiang Hong gave it to me.” He Yanfeng walked over, supported old Mr. He who was trembling with anger, and said, “Dad, don’t be angry, listen to me first.”

“Xiang Hong may have met Jiang Chen and felt that Jiang Chen looked too much like our family, so he took his hair as a sample, and then asked for samples from me, Xiao Yun, and Qian Jian for a test. I didn’t expect the test to come out like this.”

“You think I’m a fool!” Old Mr. He pushed him away and said, “I watched Xiang Hong grow up. It’s impossible for him to take other people’s children’s hair without any confidence. For so many years, he has always been your family doctor, you have a physical examination every year, why didn’t you find anything in the past ten plus years, and now you know that you have the wrong child?”

“Dad, calm down. Xiang Hong and I have been friends for so many years. I believe he never knew about this before, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken our samples for verification before telling me. And taking a blood test for the physical examination does not mean testing DNA. Qian Jian has the same blood type as mine, so how could Xiang Hong think so much? The top priority now is not how he knows, but how to deal with the identities of Jiang Chen and Qian Jian.”

“How to deal with it?” Old Mr. He stared and said, “Of course it is to exchange back the two children! What else can we do!”

“I think the same way, that’s why I came to you early in the morning. When Jiang Chen gets out of school in the afternoon, I will go to the school gate to find him, and explain this matter to him clearly.”

Seeing that his son was still sensible, old Mr. He calmed down a bit, sat down and said, “What are you going to do with Qian Jian? And the Jiang family, what are you going to tell them.”

“I will discuss it with Jiang Chen first, and go with him to tell his adoptive parents about this.”

“Where is Qian Jian?”

“I’ve already notified the people of the cancellation of his birthday party tomorrow, and I’ll tell Qian Jian after dealing with Jiang Chen’s matter. He’s not emotionally stable recently, and I’m worried that something will happen.”

Old Mr. He sighed: “Talk to him well, he will be eighteen tomorrow, so let’s treat him as a child reaching the age to leave home. Even if he is not a child of our He family, he has called me grandfather for so many years. Future contact must not be broken, don’t hurt the child’s heart.”

He Yanfeng opened his mouth, but eventually swallowed the words that came to his lips, nodded and said, “I know.”

“Also.” Old Mr. He said with a cold face: “Investigate this matter for me, I don’t believe that the switching of these two children was really just a mistake of the hospital.”

Chenghua.

After the first period, many students were used to taking out their mobile phones to play for a while. Wang Wei was also like this. He was about to open the game when he saw a message from a group created by a few friends who got along well. He didn’t even think about it before clicking in.

Swiping up one message after another, he barely understood the content:

——Why is He Qianjian’s birthday party canceled?

——It’s true, my deskmate’s dad sent me a message, and asked him to find out what’s going on

——Is Big Wei here? You and He Qianjian are in the same class. Do you have any inside information?

——Big Wei, Big Wei! Say something! I’m dying here!

——Seriously? ! ! !

Wang Wei was taken aback, and immediately typed: Impossible, He Qianjian gave out invitations to our class as soon as he came to school this morning. If it was canceled then why would he give out invitations?

——It’s not just my deskmate, everyone in our class has received the notice, it can’t be fake news.

——Yeah, it seems like the whole school is talking about it now.

——You aren’t fooling us, are you? That He Qianjian would give you an invitation, I don’t usually see how good your relationship is.

Seeing that they didn’t believe it, Wang Wei immediately took out the invitation card from the drawer, took a photo and prepared to send it. But before he pressed the send button, he saw a boy from the next class appearing at the back door and shouting: “He Qianjian, what’s the matter with your family? The birthday party is canceled after all?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole class fell silent. Wang Wei was not the only one who got the news just now. Everyone was very curious about the authenticity of the news, but they didn’t dare to ask He Qianjian, so now their ears were all pricked up.

“What are you talking about?” He Qianjian was talking to the system in his head, and it took a few seconds to realize what the boy said. He stood up and said, “What is canceled?”

“Your birthday party!” The boy and He Qianjian usually have a good relationship and their family backgrounds were similar, so he spoke casually: “My mother sent me a message telling me that your birthday party is canceled, don’t you know?”

“Impossible!” He Qianjian doubted subconsciously: “You lying to me?”

“What would I lie to you for?” Seeing that he really didn’t know, the boy said, “You really don’t know, do you? The whole school knows it. Just ask your classmates, there must be someone who knows.”

The boy’s expression was so real that He Qianjian’s heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition floated in his heart. He turned his head to look at the classmate next to him, and fixed his eyes on Wang Wei who was holding the invitation: “You know?”

Wang Wei cursed at his unluckiness, raised his phone carefully and said, “I just found out, some of my friends are asking about it.”

He Qianjian snatched his mobile phone. After seeing the content of the chat clearly, his expression changed instantly. He took out his mobile phone from the drawer, and left the classmates in the classroom looking at each other.

Finding a secluded corner, He Qianjian first dialed the phone number at home, but it was the auntie who answered the phone, telling him that both He Yanfeng and Yang Yun had gone out. After he hung up the phone, he called He Yanfeng, but no one answered after several calls, not only He Yanfeng, but also Yang Yun’s call.

The ominous premonition became more and more intense. He Qianjian smashed the phone hard, and his chest heaved violently for a long time before turning back to the classroom.

Currently class had started, and the teacher was by the podium giving a lecture. When he saw He Qianjian coming in from outside, he stopped and frowned but didn’t say much. However, when He Qianjian returned to his seat he didn’t sit down, but took up his school bag and left again. The teacher froze for a moment and chased after him, but only saw He Qianjian’s back leaving without turning his head.

The teacher returned to the podium, gritted his teeth angrily, and said, “It’s really getting more and more outrageous since he gave up the math competition. Being so self-willed because of the backing of his family’s good conditions. I want to see what will happen to him when he can’t rely on his family any longer. Let me tell you all, family conditions are not everything, you have to learn how to be a human being before doing anything in this world!”

He Qianjian didn’t hear what the teacher said in the classroom. He was already filled with panic and anger, and kept asking the system in his mind: [Why did my birthday party get canceled suddenly? Did the He family discover something?]

The system’s voice was cold: [I told you many times, it is impossible for anyone to find traces of what I did, you don’t have to worry at all.]

[Then how do you explain that the He family suddenly canceled the birthday party, and neither of my parents could get through on the phone!]

The system said: [There are many possibilities for the cancellation of the party, the most unlikely is finding out your identity.]

[Regardless of this reason or not, I can’t wait any longer.] 

He Qianjian walked into an empty alley, took out a mobile phone from his school bag, and said sinisterly: [Help me conceal the call, I don’t want to live in fear for a moment longer, I must get rid of him now.]

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

[The source of the number has been completely concealed.]

He Qianjian made a phone call and enunciated word by word: “Make the move tomorrow. Remember, what I want is his life. The transaction must only be considered completed after the person is dead.”

After hanging up the phone, he completely relaxed, and when he walked out of the alley, there was even a faint smile on his face.

Liu Huan’s pursuit caught Shen Zhen off guard.

“CEO Shen, someone delivered this in the morning.” Li Xiaolin opened the envelope at Shen Zhen’s gesture, and inside was a VIP ticket for a concert, with the venue, time and the name of the band written on it.

Li Xiaolin was taken aback when she saw it, did CEO Shen have a suitor?

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Zhen said to Li Xiaolin with a headache: “Put it there for now.”

Li Xiaolin put the ticket on the desk.

Shen Zhen called Liu Huan.

The only person he could think of who would give this kind of thing was Liu Huan.

If Qin Xing wanted to take him to a concert, he would bring it up when they were together, instead of sending it directly to his company.

“Why did you suddenly think of calling me? Missed me?” Shen Zhen sighed speechlessly at Liu Huan’s opening remark.

Shen Zhen said in a steady tone: “Mr. Liu, I received a concert ticket.”

Liu Huan: “Oh, that, I booked it some time ago, there is no one to accompany me so I just sent it to you. If you are interested, go, if you aren’t, don’t worry, the ticket is already yours, you can use it yourself or give it away.”

What Shen Zhen was about to say was blocked in his throat.

Liu Huan’s words having been said like this, if he still said “I have a lover, and I have no interest in you”, it would seem as if he was very narcissistic, so he could only swallow it back.

What should be said had already been said in the last meeting, so Shen Zhen replied: “I am not interested in the concert, I’ll give that ticket to someone else.”

Liu Huan: “It’s up to you, no need to inform me, what I give you is yours, it has nothing to do with me anymore, no matter what I give you in the future, I will always say this.”

Liu Huan: “In any case, let’s talk later, I still have something to take care of.”

Shen Zhen: “…..”

After hanging up the call, Shen Zhen gave the ticket to Li Xiaolin: “There is only one ticket, you can go see it yourself or give it to a friend.”

Li Xiaolin held the ticket in her hand, with a dazed expression on her face——she had no artistic affinity at all, she could even fall asleep watching a musical play, let alone a music concert.”

Not to mention art movies, she would basically fall asleep like a dead pig within ten minutes of the opening. She could only watch action movies and comedy movies with gusto.

“Can I sell it?” Li Xiaolin asked cautiously.

Shen Zhen: “You can do whatever you want with it, don’t ask me.”

The smile on Li Xiaolin’s face widened.

Shen Zhen: “There isn’t anything important to take care of in the company today, is there?”

Li Xiaolin: “No, the following projects are going well, much smoother than expected.”

Shen Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: “Has the land money been transferred?”

Li Xiaolin: “After the transfer, the tax has been deducted, and the company has finally started to make a profit.”

The taxes on the real estate industry was high, but the profits were also huge. Seeing that the income had shrunk a lot, Shen Zhen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Li Xiaolin suddenly said, “CEO Shen, it’s time for you to change your car. You should also get a Maybach.”

Shen Zhen also felt that he could buy a new car. He only had a motorcycle, and the cars he used to go in and out were all Qin Xing’s.

Now that he had the money, he really should buy a new one.

Shen Zhen: “You’re right.”

It was convenient to buy a car, just choose the brand and model, and then go pick up the car when the time came.

Li Xiaolin asked again: “If you have a car, you need a driver, right?”

Shen Zhen: “…..”

Why did he feel like buying a car was such a waste?

Although he had a lot of money in his hand, he still felt an inexplicable heartache.

This was probably because he personally experienced the hard work in making money himself?

“Okay.” Shen Zhen said, “Go and post the hire notice.”

Li Xiaolin: “Is there any request?”

Shen Zhen: “Don’t talk too much, don’t be too curious, adhere to traffic rules, don’t speed, don’t drink and drive, don’t drive tired, anyway, I don’t want a driver who had a car accident experience.”

Shen Zhen’s request was not too much, and Li Xiaolin nodded in agreement.

After getting off work, Shen Zhen left with Shen Li and had a meal together in a restaurant outside for once.

Qin Xing had gone back to the Qin family manor today, and there was no one to cook at home. Shen Zhen found it troublesome, so he went outside to solve the problem.

Shen Li was different from his usual chatterbox personality today, instead he was a little silent. He opened and closed his mouth to say something several times while looking at Shen Zhen, looking very hesitant to speak.

“The last time you went back with Shen Mu, why did you come back here again and didn’t stay at the Shen’s?” Shen Zhen asked suddenly, his tone very natural, just like a normal chat between friends, blurting out a question naturally, without any deliberate expression.

Shen Li was a little depressed: “He lied to me again.”

Shen Zhen: “Oh?”

Shen Li picked up a piece of vegetable with his chopsticks and put it in his bowl, but he didn’t move to eat it for a long time. He fiddled with the poor little green vegetable with his chopsticks, and said in a muffled voice, “Dad scolded me again.”

Shen Zhen could think of Shen Fu’s expression at that time. Shen Fu thought that as long as he drove his sons out, the three sons would naturally unite after knowing that life outside was difficult. But as a result, the three sons lived their own lives and when they finally thought of going back, only two went back, and these two didn’t even care about the one outside.

Shen Zhen felt that if he were Shen Fu, he would faint from anger on the spot.

After spending so many years cultivating his sons, none of them turned out useful.

Shen Li suddenly raised his head and asked Shen Zhen: “Big Brother, do you also think I’m stupid?”

Shen Zhen didn’t speak, just looked at Shen Li.

Shen Li poked at his rice: “I know you all think so, whether it’s Dad, you, or Second and Third Brother, you all think I’m stupid and think that I can’t live without the Shen family. When I was in school, my classmates were also the same. On the surface they played well with me, but behind my back they say that I am stupid and rich, an idiot with a lot of money, someone who is easy to deceive.”

As Shen Li spoke, his voice became a little nasally: “I know it all in my heart, but I don’t show it, because it’s useless even if I did, and it’s not like I can become as smart as they hoped anyway.”

“Since I was a child, I have heard them say that you are very smart, that you were sent to the Qin family at such a young age, and that you even had such a good relationship with Eldest Young Master Qin.”

“I thought at the time, if it was me who was sent, would I be the one who they praise?”

“But I know now.” Shen Li sniffed, tears falling into his rice bowl, “I will never become smarter.”

“But I always felt that even if Second and Third Brother temporarily treat me badly, they wouldn’t lie to me.”

Shen Zhen: “Shen Mu lied to you?”

Shen Li nodded: “He asked me to ask Dad for some money, because I am the youngest son, and Dad might be soft-hearted towards me, so I asked Dad for it, and Dad gave me 200,000 and told me to use it sparingly.”

Sure enough, Shen Fu was also not able to let go of his worries about this stupid son.

Shen Li said again: “Then Shen Mu asked me to borrow 20,000 yuan, and I borrowed it. He asked me to give him the card, and he’ll take it to transfer the money, and I also gave it.”

“I just found out yesterday that he transferred all the money away.”

Shen Li couldn’t control his emotions: “I’m not angry about the two hundred thousand yuan. I used to pay more than two hundred thousand for a sports car before, and more than two hundred thousand for a friend’s birthday gift. But I, I just feel uncomfortable, I feel upset.”

Shen Li choked up and said: “I called him, and I asked him if he had typed an extra zero when transferring the money, and he laughed at me, saying that I was always so stupid since I was a child, and I still haven’t changed a bit after growing up.”

“He also said that people like me should stay at home honestly in the future, and don’t go out to embarrass the family.”

Shen Li looked up at Shen Zhen, and found that Shen Zhen was looking at him intently.

Shen Li took the napkin next to him and wiped his face dry: “You dealt with that Su Shiqing before, right? Is he really better than me?”

Looking at Shen Li’s pitiful puppy-like eyes, Shen Zhen could only say: “He…..you don’t have to compare with him.”

Shen Li: “I just can’t figure it out.”

Shen Zhen looked at Shen Li and felt that a person like Shen Li had truly never grown up. Or maybe he had grown up a long time ago, but he just didn’t want to face the reality, buried his head like an ostrich, and pretended that he didn’t know anything.

Living like this was sometimes quite tiring.

Shen Li said: “I used to think that they came to find me because they still cared about our sibling relationship, because I am their younger brother, but now I find that’s not the case. It’s just because I still have money in my hands, and I’m still worth using.”

Shen Zhen suddenly asked: “If the two hundred thousand yuan is in Shen Mu’s hands, then what about Shen Yun?”

Shen Li was taken aback for a moment, and also panicked: “I don’t know…..”

“I don’t even know where Second Brother is.” Shen Li stood up from the chair. He couldn’t eat anymore, his mind went blank. In truth, he knew Shen Mu, and knew how selfish Shen Mu was. And as for where Shen Yun was, what Shen Yun was doing, Shen Mu didn’t reveal a single word.

Shen Zhen: “Don’t worry.”

Then Shen Zhen waved to the waiter to pay the bill.

“Do you know where Shen Mu lived before?” Shen Zhen asked.

Shen Li gradually calmed down: “I know.”

Shen Zhen: “Then let’s go there first.”

Shen Zhen had no good intentions and didn’t want to save Shen Yun, he just wanted to see what Shen Yun looked like now.

Shen Yun, who stood arrogantly in front of him in his previous life, how was he doing now?

Shen Zhen and Shen Li soon arrived at the part of the city where Shen Yun and Shen Mu were living in to save expenses. Most of the people living here were migrant workers, and the dwellings were very simple, makeshift single rooms constructed with a few boards, with a bed and a door. It was so small that it couldn’t even fit a table, and the place was full of various odors.

These kinds of wooden partition rooms could neither block out sound or odor.

When Shen Zhen walked through this floor, he could hear the “creaking” sound of the wooden boards.

Shen Li walked beside Shen Zhen. It was the second time for Shen Li to come here, but he still couldn’t stand the environment here. He felt as if he had nowhere to place his feet, and felt that everything was dirty.

Shen Zhen, on the other hand, looked very natural and unbothered.

“Big Brother, aren’t you afraid of getting dirty?” Shen Li asked curiously.

Shen Zhen: “It’s only the shoes that will get dirty. Don’t your shoes get dirty when you walk outside?”

Shen Li: “…..That seems to make sense.”

They stopped in front of a security door that looked like a residence, and Shen Li pressed the doorbell.

“Who is it!” Someone yelled inside.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Li: “We came to find someone!”

The people inside were very vigilant: “Who are you looking for?!”

Shen Li: “Shen Yun in Room 3!”

Then someone came to open the door for them.
