TSBIR Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Playing Dead

Shen Xingyang nodded to Xiao Qi, who then signaled for the curtain behind Shen Xingyang to be opened. The screen lit up, displaying a map.

Shen Xingyang looked at the crowd: “Gu Rong, you lead the team to enter the country from here, and then detour into the snowy mountains. Along the way, you need to be high-profile enough to attract people over. Gu Lian, you enter directly from here. You must not be discovered, and you need to conceal your presence. Therefore, you can’t wear too much; choose some brothers who can withstand the cold to take this route.”

“The main thing is to deliver supplies; don’t engage in prolonged battles.”

Shen Xingyang no longer dared to rely on the Shen family’s people. He didn’t know who was on his side and who was on Yin Yan and Shen Jinlin’s side. Therefore, this time, he could only rely on himself.

“Young Master, we understand. We will definitely not fail our mission.”

Gu Rong and Gu Lian nodded, indicating they understood. The remaining people, hearing Gu Rong and Gu Lian’s loud affirmation, also shouted in agreement.

Shen Xingyang looked at them, his eyes somewhat red.

“I know this mission is dangerous, but it must be done. Today, I owe you all, and I will repay you double in the future.”

Shen Xingyang stood in front of everyone and bowed sincerely.

“Shen Shao, if it weren’t for you back then, we wouldn’t be alive today. The brothers have been idle for so many years; it’s time for us to do something for Shen Shao.”

Gu Lian and Gu Rong looked at Shen Xingyang, wishing they could kneel down, but due to Shen Xingyang’s rules, they could only bow to show their respect.

Back then, when the Shen family selected guards to enter the Shen family training camp, they were all eliminated because of various reasons. Those who participated in the Shen family training camp selection would face death if they didn’t succeed, to prevent the rules of the Shen family training camp from being exposed.

It was Shen Xingyang who, against everyone’s objections, kept them and continued to train them. They had been training for so many years and had been supported by Shen Xingyang for so long; it was time to contribute.

“Thank you, everyone! I, Shen Xingyang, guarantee to everyone that if anyone dies in this mission, his parents, wife, children, family, and friends will be fully taken care of by the Shen family, and no one will dare to bully them. If you survive, the Shen family training camp will definitely have a place for you.”

“With Shen Shao’s words, even if we risk our lives, we will definitely complete the mission.”

Shen Xingyang nodded and then began to assign tasks to each person, also instructing important matters.

After the assignments were made, everyone began to load things onto the vehicles.

Shen Xingyang watched as the vehicles drove away from his sight one by one, his brow furrowed tightly.

Could he save Shen Jinjue this time? He had tried everything he could, and in the end, it seemed like only this risky approach would work.

To remove the tumor that was Yin Yuan from Shen Jinjue’s side, this was the only way. Otherwise, because he could foresee this incident in his previous life, he wouldn’t necessarily be able to foresee it next time.

“Everything has been prepared.”

Xiao Qi walked into the room, closed the door, and said to Shen Xingyang.

Shen Xingyang nodded, poured the medicine into his hand, and after confirming the quantity was correct, prepared to put it into his mouth.

“A’Yang, you really don’t have to take such a risk.”

Xiao Qi was extremely worried. How could Shen Xingyang dare to gamble like this?

“If I really die, wouldn’t the subsequent plan be easier to implement?”

Shen Xingyang smiled heartlessly, as if he really didn’t care about his life.

Seeing Xiao Qi’s furrowed brow, Shen Xingyang patted Xiao Qi’s shoulder: “Alright, I’m just teasing you. I have confidence. If I don’t use this medicine, my brother will never realize the seriousness of the situation and will continue to protect Yin Yan and them. I won’t give my brother a chance to be soft-hearted towards them.”

As Shen Xingyang spoke, he no longer hesitated, put all the medicine into his mouth, and then drank a lot of water to successfully swallow all the pills.

Xiao Qi frowned, staring at Shen Xingyang, not even daring to blink.

“A’Qi, repeat what you need to do next.”

The medicine hadn’t taken effect yet. Besides feeling a little breathless, Shen Xingyang didn’t feel any other discomfort.

Xiao Qi suppressed the sorrow in his heart, looked at Shen Xingyang, and spoke with utmost clarity.

“After you faint, I will switch you with the person we’ve arranged. After confirming your death, I will create an accident to destroy the body, then frame the Lin family, provoking a dispute with the Lin family. This will allow the Lin family to participate in the investigation of your cause of death, thereby keeping your ‘body’ in Mu City. Afterwards, I will spread the news of the Lin family killing you back to the Shen family, arousing the anger of the Shen family, causing a dispute between the Shen and Lin families. When things get stirred up, I will direct the focus of their investigation to your medicine, so that everyone knows that it was Yin Yan who switched your medicine, allowing the Shen family to control Yin Yan.”

Shen Xingyang nodded, preparing to get up, but because of the sudden blurred vision, he supported himself on the table in front of him. This blurriness made him afraid to move any further.

“Remember, the body destruction must be thorough, don’t let anyone…”

Before Shen Xingyang could finish speaking, a burst of severe pain surged from the depths of his abdomen. The pain was like countless sharp needles, stabbing and piercing randomly within his abdominal cavity, each one precisely stimulating his pain nerves. Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, sliding down his cheeks. His face turned pale, and his lips lost their color, beginning to tremble involuntarily.

“I’ll get the doctor in.”

Shen Xingyang grabbed Xiao Qi: “Wait a little longer…”

As the toxins further took effect in his body, the pain was like a surging tide, one wave after another. His abdominal muscles began to twitch uncontrollably, as if countless snakes were writhing under his skin.

This twitching caused his entire body to convulse, his limbs flailing wildly, his fingers gripping the table tightly, scratching deep marks.

His teeth chattered, and blood seeped from his gums. He felt like his teeth were about to shatter under the immense biting force.

“It hurts so much.”

Time seemed to become infinitely long at this moment, each second of agony like an eternity. His body was soaked in sweat, his hair stuck to his scalp as if it had just been pulled out of the water.

The abdominal pain was like a never-ending demon, constantly gnawing at his body and will.

Even though he had endured this pain in his previous life, he still couldn’t accept it happening again.

“A’Yang.”

Xiao Qi was flustered, wanting to call the doctor, but he was tightly grabbed by Shen Xingyang.

“Wait a little longer.”

Because of that severe pain, Shen Xingyang’s heart rate rose rapidly, and the medical wristband kept beeping.

After a long time, his vision became increasingly blurred, his heart beating violently. It was as if countless black spots were dancing before his eyes, and his head felt like it had been struck by a heavy hammer, causing bouts of dizziness. Finally, Shen Xingyang’s eyes fell into darkness.

Xiao Qi didn’t dare to hesitate any longer and hurriedly pulled in the doctor who had been arranged in advance.

The doctor had already anticipated this and hurriedly began resuscitation.

Xiao Qi didn’t even have time to worry about whether Shen Xingyang had been successfully resuscitated and rushed out to have the pre-arranged corpse brought in.

Song Yichen saw the abnormality on the medical wristband and kept calling Shen Xingyang’s phone, but no one answered.

“Gu Ze, leave the matter to you for now; I’m going to City S.”

After Song Yichen finished speaking, he hurriedly rushed out.

But not long after he got into the car, he saw that the heart rate that the medical wristband had been constantly displaying had dropped to zero.

Song Yichen couldn’t believe it. How could this be?

“Go check; I need to know what happened to Shen Xingyang.”

Song Yichen was not in City S now, and he couldn’t get through to Shen Xingyang’s phone, so he could only send people from City S to investigate, but he got no results for a long time.
