TSBIR Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Returning to Mu City

At this moment, Song Yichen had already taken people back to Mu City and had Xiao Qi return to control Yin Yan.

Things went exceptionally smoothly, because with Song Yichen’s help, Xiao Qi didn’t have to put in much effort at all.

So, after everything was over, he immediately went to pick up Shen Xingyang, who had become shockingly thin in just a few days.

On the way back to Mu City, Xiao Qi couldn’t help but ask, “A’Yang, how did you know in advance that Yin Yan would drug you, and how did you know that Yin Yuan would plot against Shen Jinjue?”

Shen Xingyang leaned against the window, supporting his temple with his hand, his mind full of memories from his previous life.

“A’Qi, I had a dream. In that dream, I was locked up like livestock, waiting in endless darkness for the person I hated the most to appear. The company I poured all my efforts into was seized by Yin Yan, and my most beloved family members were harmed by Yin Yuan. Even if these things haven’t happened yet, those past experiences make me feel like I’m living in hell every day.”

“A’Qi, I once truly regarded Yin Yan as family, the person I cared about most besides my brother, but he drugged me, forced himself on me, and killed my brother.”

Xiao Qi didn’t say anything. That’s why Shen Xingyang was so abnormal, watching Yin Yan’s every move since he came back.

He also placed his own people in different places, cultivated his own informants, and built his own team.

Almost every day since he came back, Shen Xingyang hadn’t relaxed, constantly working hard to cultivate his own people.

“Shen Xingyang, look! Without me, what kind of life are you living?”

Hearing this, Xiao Qi felt extremely depressed, but he still smiled and teased Shen Xingyang.

Sure enough, Shen Xingyang laughed upon hearing this, and the oppressive atmosphere instantly became harmonious.

“That’s right, it seems like I can only live well with you around.”

“By the way, did you call Song Shao? He helped us so much.”

Shen Xingyang looked at Yin Yan in confusion, “I didn’t call him. What did he do?”

Xiao Qi didn’t expect that Shen Xingyang hadn’t contacted Song Yichen. He really didn’t expect that Shen Xingyang could deceive him like this, without any explanation, and he would still help Shen Xingyang.

Xiao Qi told Shen Xingyang everything Song Yichen had done and even envied Shen Xingyang for finding a good man.

But upon hearing this, Shen Xingyang frowned tightly. He initially didn’t want Song Yichen to participate in these dirty plans.

Song Yichen was upright his whole life and was the pride of the Song family. Now, because of him, he was deceiving and concealing things from others, how could he accept that?

This gave him a sense of guilt, like he had stained a spotless white garment with dirt. He was afraid he would never be able to repay what he owed Song Yichen.

Originally, upon returning to Mu City, he should have gone to find Yin Yan first, but Shen Xingyang didn’t. He went directly to Song Manor.

He was about to go inside as usual.

But he was stopped outside, “Young Master Shen, my young master has a rule that entering Song Manor requires an appointment with him. You can only enter if he agrees. As for your things, the young master had them all sent back to you a few days ago.”

Xiao Qi was dumbfounded. He had been wholeheartedly helping Shen Xingyang a few days ago, but today he was throwing both the person and his belongings out of Song Manor. Was he really that heartless?

“Tell him that I want to see him, and I can explain why I didn’t call.”

The person hesitated for a moment, but still went inside to ask.

“Young master said it’s too late, and he doesn’t want to listen.”

Shen Xingyang lowered his head sadly, but knowing he couldn’t delay the person doing their job, he thanked them and left with Xiao Qi.

When he saw Yin Yan, before he could even speak, Yin Yan excitedly tried to walk over. If he wasn’t being held back, he probably would have rushed over.

“A’Yang, you’re still alive.”

“Why did you lie to me?”

Yin Yan looked grief-stricken, as if he was enduring immense pain.

“Do you know how I’ve been these past few days?”

He thought Shen Xingyang was dead and had been living with immense psychological burden and guilt every day. He couldn’t wait to die with Shen Xingyang, but now he was being told that it was all to deceive him.

Hearing this, Shen Xingyang only found it extremely laughable. He laughed coldly.

“Yin Yan, are you really acting like a victim? If I hadn’t planned in advance, I would be the one being held here, right? Aren’t you tired of acting like this every day? I’m tired just watching you.”

Shen Xingyang didn’t want to pretend anymore. His expression was extremely cold, and his eyes were full of disdain as he looked at Yin Yan.

“A’Yang, you, you betrayed me first, getting together with Song Yichen…”

Before Yin Yan could finish speaking, Shen Xingyang slapped him hard across the face.

Before the blood could flow from the corner of Yin Yan’s mouth, Shen Xingyang grabbed his hair, squatted down, and looked at Yin Yan.

“How dare you talk to me about betrayal? What are you? Do you really think I don’t know about the dirty things you’ve done? I was bullied in high school, and I’m sure your methods were involved. Why did my friends break off contact with me over the years? Do I have to say your clumsy methods out loud one by one?”

Shen Xingyang was someone who had died once. After thinking carefully about the past, he understood everything.

At the time, he was simply in the middle of the situation, so he was confused. He truly regarded Yin Yan as family, so he never doubted him. Thinking about it now, it was truly laughable.

“I just wanted to be with you, what’s wrong with that? I was sent to your side at the age when I was most playful. I lived for you, why can’t you live for me too?”

“Yin Yan, what are you fantasizing about? I’m not a straw boat, don’t direct your cheapness at me.”

Shen Xingyang was too lazy to talk to Yin Yan anymore. He used to think that he was the only one who didn’t understand love, but he never thought that Yin Yan didn’t understand either. How could you bear to hurt someone you like?

“Keep an eye on him. When my brother comes back, I want to see them pay the price for their ambitions with my own eyes.”

After Shen Xingyang said this, he turned and walked out of the room. He wanted to let his brother see what kind of person he trusted.

“Shen Xingyang, did you tell Song Yichen your plan?”

Yin Yan suddenly shouted to stop Shen Xingyang and asked a question.

Shen Xingyang stopped and frowned as he looked at Yin Yan, “What are you trying to say?”

“He won’t forgive you. In fact, he’s the same kind of person as your brother, rationality outweighs emotion. You should have known when you decided to set up this plan that there was no longer any possibility between you and him.”

“That’s none of your business. Even if he’s not willing to forgive me, it’s not your turn.”

After Shen Xingyang said this, he left Yin Yan with the sound of the door closing and no more words.

“A’Yang, Yin Yan mentioned your brother, what’s wrong with your brother?”

What does it mean that rationality outweighs emotion? Shen Jinjue has always paid more attention to feelings!

The reason he was willing to inherit the Shen family in the first place was to protect Shen Xingyang.

Shen Xingyang frowned and shook his head, “I don’t know. I’ll know everything when my brother comes back.”

What exactly did Yin Yan mean by that? What was he trying to express? Could it be that something happened to Shen Jinjue that he didn’t know about?

If Shen Jinjue’s rationality really outweighed his emotion, how could he have died at the hands of Yin Yuan and the others? It was precisely because he valued feelings too much that he died a tragic death.
