Chapter 75: Shen Jinjue Successfully Returns to Mu City

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Jinjue was finally returning to Mu City.

Shen Xingyang was very happy and went to the airport early to pick up Shen Jinjue.

Shen Jinjue knew everything after seeing the people Shen Xingyang had arranged and had been in contact with Shen Xingyang all along.

Because he was worried about Shen Xingyang’s health, he went straight to Mu City without even returning to the military camp.

Shen Xingyang excitedly went forward upon seeing Shen Jinjue. This time, he had finally done it; he had changed Shen Jinjue’s fate.

“How’s your health?”

“I’m fine.”

Shen Xingyang shook his head, but his complexion was not good, and he had lost a lot of weight.

Shen Jinjue knew Shen Xingyang was comforting him and felt extremely guilty.

He had always wanted to protect Shen Xingyang, even fighting for the Shen family for Shen Xingyang’s sake, but now, he was constantly causing him harm.

Shen Jinjue frowned deeply after looking at Shen Xingyang’s medical report and quickly took his men back to the military camp.

He also handed Yin Yan over to Shen Xingyang completely, saying that no matter what Shen Xingyang did, he would not interfere.

Shen Xingyang watched Shen Jinjue leave the house in a fit of anger, thinking that he would really kill Yin Yuan.

After all, Yin Yuan’s actions warranted death a hundred times over, and Shen Xingyang never intended to spare Yin Yan either. He directly sent Yin Yan to a mental hospital, wanting Yin Yan to live a life worse than death, just like he had been – wanting to die but unable to.

However, before Shen Xingyang could send Yin Yan away, he received news that Shen Jinjue had merely stripped Yin Yuan, the mastermind, of his military rank and expelled him from the military camp.

Shen Xingyang couldn’t understand and, disregarding everything, went directly to question Shen Jinjue.

“Brother, why are you still letting Yin Yuan go? He wanted our lives!”

Shen Xingyang didn’t understand at all. Shen Jinjue’s tolerance for Yin Yuan was too high, even higher than his tolerance for himself!

Trying to kill Shen Jinjue and instigating Yin Yan to drug him were no small matters.

The result was just letting Yin Yuan leave the military camp, without even a reprimand, just letting it go?

So all his painstaking efforts, even almost sacrificing his own life, only resulted in this outcome?

Shen Jinjue sat weakly on the sofa, his face pale, and the red veins in his eyes were terrifyingly numerous.

He casually picked up a cigarette and took a hard drag. After finishing the cigarette, he stubbed it out with his hand, explaining sadly as he stubbed it.

“The year I was promoted to colonel, I was in my early twenties, young, energetic, and ignorant.”

“Later, during a mission, I met Yin Yuan, a major from another military camp. He was as good-looking as you, and his eyes curved when he smiled, making him incredibly attractive.”

As Shen Jinjue said this, he seemed to be lost in beautiful memories, a gentle smile on his face.

“Later, we often cooperated. He didn’t like men, but I wasn’t willing to give up! I kept pestering him, like a piece of dog skin plaster, sticking to him every day. Eventually, he finally got together with me and even completely broke with the colonel who had always led him in order to come under my command.”

“He abandoned everything to follow me. He lost all his former friends and colleagues and was bullied under my command. I couldn’t help him at the time because I knew there would be times when I wouldn’t be around. So I tried my best to help him grow and become strong, strong enough for the people under me to sincerely trust and accept him.”

“He was really excellent and achieved it in no time. The smile he had when he happily shared it with me was something I’ll never forget. But later, the situation of the Shen family became more and more serious. I had to take on the Shen family, but the Shen family was too chaotic and complicated, and there were regulations that the head of the Shen family must have descendants. I was worried that he would be harmed by Dad because of me, so I stubbornly chose to break up, not even giving Yin Yuan a chance. I remember Yin Yuan standing outside my room for days, saying he wanted a reason.”

“Later, after not eating or drinking for several days, he fainted in front of my room. I carried him inside and told him that I didn’t like him anymore, that I was just playing around and as the heir of the Shen family, I would never choose a man.”

“In the end, he gave up. He stayed by my side as a subordinate, like nothing had happened, going through life and death with me.”

As Shen Jinjue said this, his voice became extremely choked and hoarse. Covering his face, he couldn’t continue.

Shen Xingyang was also silent; he hadn’t expected things to be like this.

He hadn’t expected that his brother was silently bearing so much pressure. How desperate his brother must have been when he had to break up with his love out of helplessness.

“Over the years, no matter what requests he and Yin Yan made, I would try to satisfy them because of guilt and because I loved him.”

Shen Jinjue’s face was covered in tears. Shen Jinjue, who was always tall and mighty in front of Shen Xingyang, was incredibly fragile at this moment.

“Ah-Yang, these years, watching him stay by my side aggrieved, watching him lose that smile from back then, my heart aches so much…”

Shen Jinjue covered his chest, sobbing uncontrollably.

“Brother, but you have to understand that these things are not a reason for him to commit a crime.”

Shen Xingyang felt complicated. Over the years, Shen Jinjue had been wholeheartedly devoted to his affairs, but he knew nothing and even acted unreasonably, not considering Shen Jinjue’s feelings.

If it weren’t for him, Shen Jinjue wouldn’t have had to endure this.

But these were two different things. Did that mean Yin Yuan could hurt him, kill Shen Jinjue, and kill so many of his brothers and comrades?

If so, how could it be fair to those who were killed?

It took Shen Jinjue a long time to recover from that pain. He wiped the tears from his face and regained his usual majesty.

But then he knelt solemnly in front of Shen Xingyang, who hurriedly went to help Shen Jinjue up.

“Brother, what are you doing?”

“Ah-Yang, Yin Yuan was wrong, but it’s all because of me. I apologize on his behalf. I don’t ask for you to forgive him, but can you let him live?”

Shen Jinjue was full of shame. This time, Shen Xingyang almost lost his life, but he really couldn’t let Yin Yuan die.

It was all his fault back then. From the moment he provoked Yin Yuan, he should have known that he should be responsible for him.

He had let down that passionate, brilliant young man, and he had ruined that favored son of heaven.

Yin Yuan was also an outstanding person among his peers. If it weren’t for him, Yin Yuan would have shone brightly in front of everyone.

“Brother, are you forcing me?”

Shen Xingyang was also full of pain. Why did he have to force him like this? He gave Shen Jinjue and Yin Yuan an explanation, but who would give him an explanation?

People say that karma is a cycle, but what had he done to make him suffer so much in his previous life?

Was it just because he wanted to live?

In his previous life, they had already repaid Yin Yuan. Why should he give them the opportunity to plot against him again in this life?

“Ah-Yang, I just want to do everything I can to save my lover, that’s all.”

“Brother, what about me?”

Shen Xingyang looked pained. If he did nothing, it would be the ending of his previous life. When he was suffering and wished he were dead, who would give him an explanation?

“Ah-Yang… you weren’t so cruel before.”

Shen Jinjue couldn’t believe that his innocent younger brother would directly sentence someone to death. The former Shen Xingyang had been extremely kind to him and Yin Yan.

“Cruel? I’m cruel? Yin Yuan wasn’t cruel when he had Yin Yan drug me? Yin Yuan wasn’t cruel when he cut off your military supplies? I just want an explanation, and I’m cruel?”
