After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 523 - 518: Shen Family Take Care of Themselves

Jian Yu was abducted, and the team from the base suddenly disappeared clean from Beijing. Even Shen Wenhong was missing, abandoning the other members of the Shen family and his own children.

Over at Shen Ning’s, it was Bai Zhong who rushed over from Shen City to handle the situation. The Shen family wanted to enter Beijing but were blocked from doing so. After the incident with Jian Yu, they were cut off and could do nothing.

The Bai Family didn’t want to get involved either. It was only because Bai Zhong still had deep feelings for Shen Ning that the Bai family felt obliged to fulfill their responsibility, planning to discuss the future of the two children once Shen Ning’s condition stabilized.

Kong Qianmu, a figure of imposing presence, appeared in the ICU floor corridor. From a distance, Kong Qianmu saw Shen Feng sitting lifelessly on a chair.

He seemed like wood devoid of human emotion, stupefied and dazed.

Kong Qianmu approached him, but he remained oblivious.

"I recognize you."

Kong Qianmu took one glance and recognized Shen Feng.

Shen Feng, as though he hadn’t heard, continued to sit there dazed.

Kong Qianmu stood next to him, looking towards the ICU. Bai Zhong was handling things for Shen Ning, but no one was taking care of Shen Feng.

"You’re her brother. I saw you that day, the pranks you played behind her, I saw them all. I should have killed you that day, you and your sister, neither of you are good people," Kong Qianmu, with a face that was beautiful and gentle, spoke icy ruthless words, "Do you know what I thought when I heard she had died? It must have been the Shen family who killed her. She died, and you all felt no sorrow." freewebnoveℓ.com

"I wasn’t strong enough back then, but when I looked back, you had already grown."

"What are you trying to show now? What were you doing at the beginning?"

The person sitting in the chair suddenly moved, lifting his head to meet Kong Qianmu’s emotionless eyes.

Kong Qianmu quietly observed him for a moment, and then said, "She protected you because she treated you like real family. Although she only helped me twice, those two times saved my life. I tried to stop your growth... yet it seemed to have no effect, perhaps my abilities were just not strong enough."

"Now I can do more, but the Shen family has already destroyed themselves first, yet it’s still not thorough enough. Be careful."

The woman turned and walked away slowly, disappearing at the end of the hospital’s corridor.

A tear fell on the back of Shen Feng’s hand followed by a second, then a third... converging into a stream of tears, densely falling on his hand and sliding down to his trousers, soaking a patch.

The Shen family, with nowhere to turn, was crushed to dust within two days.

The subsequent news was that someone from the Shen family, driven into a corner, jumped off a building. Until it was discovered that someone behind the scenes was pressing down, the Shen family members were almost driven to death, the few remaining ones vanished without a trace. Some said they had moved to the countryside to hide and live, while others said they had been harmed.

But all along, no one had laid hands on them, just faced numerous setbacks at work, and finally, due to their lack of endurance, broke down.

For ordinary people, setbacks at work are a daily occurrence.

But for the Shen family, who had lost their wealth and status, it was a serious blow.

The Jian Yu incident caused the freezing of the Shen family’s assets; even their research work was halted cleanly, and they had to face the fines held accountable.

It was their own lack of resilience that led to these consequences, and no one physically harmed them.

With a bit of investigation, one could discover who controlled the financial power in Mountain City, a trap not set up overnight but had long been foreshadowed, only previously unnoticed.

Shen Wenhong was forcefully taken back to Jungle Base.

Jian Yu was taken away by unknown people, and looking back, they were blamed for it.

These individuals were blacklisted, and returning was as difficult as reaching the heavens.

Jian Yu and Shen Wenhong’s reputations had turned to sludge back home.

If they wanted to start over, the only hope was for time to turn back.

"Is Dr. Shen still refusing to eat?" The higher-up at the base arrived at Shen Wenhong’s residence and, seeing the rejected meal, his expression immediately turned sour.

"Dr. Shen insists on looking for Dr. Jian."

"Of course we need to find Jian Yu, but he must also recover from his injuries. This operation was a total failure, and the losses were severe. Now it’s not just Shen Wenhong’s personal issue, it concerns the entire base!"

After saying this, the man walked in with the food.

Soon after, arguing voices could be heard from inside, and people outside hastily moved away.

Somehow, in the end, Shen Wenhong obediently ate his meal and rested.

The items Shen Yan had sent had put them on the highest alert; their base’s network was under tremendous risk and needed immediate repairs and reinforcement.

As for the abducted Jian Yu, the base hadn’t given up searching.

The item in Jian Yu’s possession was too crucial for the base.

The twenty-ninth year, light snow.

Beijing.

Shen Family.

Gu Ting put away her phone, grabbed her coat, and was about to rush out.

"Tingting! Where are you going?"

"Neither of their phones are reachable, and Mr. Song isn’t answering my calls either. I’m a bit worried, and I want to check if they’re still in Beijing."

"There’s no need to go," Shen Zuo sighed, walked over, and held Gu Ting’s hand. "Elder Qi just called the old man, saying that the two of them have already left the country."

"Left the country? Why would they leave now? I didn’t hear about Yanyan taking on any overseas roles or anything. Strange, Lao Liu didn’t mention that Yanyan would be busy through the New Year."

Since Liu Su hadn’t followed Shen Yan and Qi Si, he would have gone straight to the old mansion upon returning to Beijing, so Gu Ting couldn’t inquire about Qi Si through Liu Su; hence, she considered checking on them herself.

"It must be for some other matter," said Shen Zuo as he hugged her. "Elder Qi wants them to handle it."

"Did Elder Qi say anything else? Do you know what they’re dealing with?"

"Elder Qi doesn’t know the details either. When they left, Qi Si only contacted Elder Qi," as for what was said, only the grandfather and grandson knew.

Since Old Shen had relayed it as such, they felt it improper to pry too much.

Gu Ting’s face was filled with worry.

"Let’s first have a good New Year, then look for them afterwards and ask."

"Will they be back after the New Year?"

Shen Zuo shook his head, concealing the worry in his eyes. "Xiao Zheng’s situation seems a bit off; let’s handle his issue first, and I’ll personally make a trip abroad after the New Year."

"That’s fine," Gu Ting finally relaxed. "Your son is probably troubled because of that girl."

"The words Old Shen relayed, we really can’t take them entirely at face value. Who knows if they are exaggerated? Maybe this girl doesn’t even exist." Neither Shen Zuo nor Gu Ting had ever met Xiao Ling, so they had no idea what was really going on, relying solely on Old Shen’s words.

Meanwhile, as everyone in the country was preparing for the New Year, Shen Yan walked alone in streets that were both foreign and familiar, the cold wind mixed with fine rain beating on her without her feeling a thing.
