nChapter 84: “I love you.”

nThe next morning, Jing Xun and Shen Yijin both left their posts and went to the western suburbs cemetery to sweep the grave of Shen Yijin’s mother.

nAfter returning to the country, Shen Yijin would come here to pay respect several times a year. At ordinary times, there would be someone to take care of it. Mother Shen’s tombstone was kept clean and tidy.

nOn the polished and clean tombstone, the photo of mother Shen was still very clear.

nJudging from the photo, Shen Yijin’s mother’s facial features were very three-dimensional, her eyebrows were naturally smiling, she looked like a kind person.

nJing Xun stood in front of the tombstone, and respectfully offered a stick of incense with Shen Yijin.

nHe also changed to wear black today, but he didn’t appear grim and profound like the feeling that Shen Yijin gave off.

nStanding in front of the tombstone, Shen Yijin didn’t say a word, staring straight ahead, what he was thinking was unknown.

nSir just stood there for a long time.

nJing Xun felt that he had a lot to say to his mother.

nOr perhaps there was no need to say anything, so he just stared at the tombstone without uttering a word.

nHe was not in a hurry anyway, so Jing Xun stood at one side and kept him company.

nAfter a long, long time.

nShen Yijin said, “Let’s go back.”

nJing Xun said, “Okay.”

nHis hand was naturally held by Shen Yijin, and the two of them walked towards the exit together. Jing Xun subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the photo on the tombstone.

nThe action of turning back left Jing Xun a half step behind. When he turned around again, what he saw was Shen Yijin’s slightly sunken shoulders and steady back.

nShen Yijin didn’t say anything last night, but Jing Xun knew that he hadn’t slept all night.

nHowever, it wasn’t the kind of insomnia caused by the onset of his illness. He was just unable to fall asleep.

nIf he really had to describe it, that was probably like the last time he(syj) sat down and said goodbye to his past self.

nSubconsciously, he bid farewell to former gloomy and oppressive Shen Yijin.

nThen welcome the new sunshine.

nTogether with his past self.

nJing Xun couldn’t help but think back. In fact, Sir knew the truth in the afternoon. Until the time he came back, he neither did anything out of ordinary, nor was he as violent as usual.

nHe even showed his usual smile in front of him.

nSir had adjusted himself a long time ago.

nHe waited for him to come back, calmly shared the matter with him, and dealt with it rationally together…

nPerhaps all of his previous consolations played a role, and Shen Yijin had been able to regulate his emotions, as well as facing the past.

nAnd even though he stayed up all night until this morning, Shen Yijin looked different from before.

nGoing astray can be just one thought.

nAs well as metamorphosis.

nShen Yijin now became more rational, and more honest.

nJing Xun looked back one last time and glanced at the photo on the tombstone.

nHe originally wanted to ask Shen Yijin’s mother to bless him.

nBut in the end, he just said in his heart: “We’ll go first, and we’ll see you next time!”

n.

nAfter returning to the company, Jing Xun first went to his senior and told him about his plan.

nAlthough Sir was not blackened, he must hurry up to do what he should do.

nJing Xun had been thinking about how to rationally take revenge yesterday.

nHe thought of many ways, and finally he negotiated with Shen Yijin to finalize the simplest and most effective method, but the implementation of some aspects still required the help of people like Senior Pei.

nJing Xun first explained the plan, and then blinked at Pei Qingnian embarrassedly: “There are still Mrs. Yang’s eyes and ears in the company. Besides, it’s not easy to involve other colleagues in such personal matters. At this time, only Senior is…”

nHe smiled implicitly: “You are the only one who can help.”

n“…Did you tell Shen Yijin that I know about all the plot?” Hearing that Shen Yijin already knows all the truth, Pei Qingnian doubtfully asked.

nJing Xun was innocent at this point: “No, I didn’t say it. He guessed it himself.”

nPei Qingnian: “……”

n“Ah.” Thinking of what the senior’s concerns might be, Jing Xun hurriedly explained to him: “But sir didn’t ask anything, Senior doesn’t need to worry, he isn’t the kind of person who would ask you to write down the plot and pry for business opportunities. ”

nPei Qingnian: “……”

nIt’s no use asking him to write down the plot. His IQ was not as good as Jing Xun’s, and his memory was also different from that of Jing Xun. At most, he still remembered some plots, but he couldn’t write down every detail.

nBesides, the illogical dog blood plot of the original book had no useful secret at all!

nPei Qingnian was too lazy to care about that, he just couldn’t rest assured and confirmed with Jing Xun again: “So your family’s Sir really not blackened?”

nJing Xun make a vow: “No, really not.”

n“…Alright.” Pei Qingnian was completely relieved this time.

nNo one could guarantee what the blacken villain would do.

nAlthough Pei Qingnian looked careless and casual on the outside, his way of thinking was very resolute, and it changed three times a day1He came up with new ideas all the time.. But in the end, he promised to stay in Yiwei just because he was worried about Jing Xun.

nIf Shen Yijin really became a big villain and did something wrong, he would still try his best to take his junior brother he had always cherished away from here.

nBut fortunately…

n“So what have you done in these two months? Not only did you get rid of the scum gong, even the big villain was not blackened?” Pei Qingnian was even more surprised.

nJing Xun: “This…”

nYesterday, after learning of the plot, he ran back in a confused state and didn’t tell him much about the past two months.

nRight now he had more important things to discuss with Senior!

n“From now on, I will tell you slowly, the top priority now is…”

nJing Xun smiled with his rosy lips and white teeth.

nThe corners of his lips were naturally raised, he was born with a smiling face.

nJing Xun used to laugh like this before. Although his complexion was not as good as this, Pei Qingnian only needed one glance to know that his junior had thought of some amusing wicked idea.

nThe last time he saw Jing Xun smile like this, he suddenly proposed to develop a new system and upgrade the firewall in an international competition, which caused them to directly win on behalf of the national team.

nThis time…

nPei Qingnian squinted at him: “First tell me what you have planned?”

nA few days later.

nIt was originally sunny during the day, but it suddenly rained at night.

nRaindrops hit the car window with a pitter patter sound. Yang Nianjiao sat in the back of the business car, looking at the content of the phone in the dimly lit car with difficulty.

nWhat was displayed on it was the latest development and information of Shen Yijin.

nShen Bohan’s recent health condition was very bad, and he was still depressed.

nThe technology company she founded had serious financial problems, and her plan to surpass Yiwei’s research on artificial intelligence also fell through. For various reasons, Yang Nianjiao decided to take the risk——she wanted to strike at Shen Yijin directly, in a way that hit him right where it hurts.

nSo she not only deliberately spread rumors that Shen Yijin was involved in his father’s car accident, but also mentioned what happened on that year’s rainy night.

nSuch words reminded those who cooperated with Shen Yijin that the Shen family had been suffering from mental illness for three generations, and even his biological mother committed suicide because of this.

nIt was also a reminder to Shen Yijin himself not to forget that rainy night back then.

nYang Nianjiao had always known the cause of Shen Yijin’s illness over the years and how sick he was.

nShe had always known, but she’d just never worked on it.

nIt was too risky.

nIf it weren’t for Shen Bohan’s depression, and it was impossible to fight against Shen Yijin, she didn’t want to do so.

nIn the latest information that was sent to her, Shen Yijin did visit a psychiatrist frequently, and he also increased the prescription of many related drugs…

nYang Nianjiao showed a triumphant smile, and couldn’t help thinking about the next step.

nThere was a hoarse beautiful singing in the car stereo. The car body stopped slightly in a burst of shaking. Yang Nianjiao looked out through the closed car window. The Shen family’s outer courtyard gate slowly opened, revealing a width that the car could drive through.

nThe driver in front started the car again, and drove on the winding path for a while longer. Shortly after, the driver drove the car into the underground garage, parked the car and said to her: “We’re here, madam.”

nIt was the same as usual.

nAfter entering the garage, the annoying rain stopped suddenly, but the underground garage was also full of moisture that could only be found on rainy days, which made people feel very irritable.

nYang Nianjiao pushed the door and got out of the car, walking towards the elevator with some eager steps.

n…She had always hated such rainy days.

nBecause of the fast pace, it was difficult to maintain her usual elegance. Her high heels slammed on the flat concrete floor and made a “dong dong” sound.

nSuddenly, Yang Nianjiao felt that something was wrong.

nIt seemed that there were only her footsteps in the empty underground garage, and the driver did not follow…

nFeeling strange, Yang Nianjiao turned around, and suddenly the entire underground garage went dark!

nAll the lights were off.

n“Ahhh!!”

nYang Nianjiao shrieked, not waiting for her to turn back, the scene in front of her changed once again!

n——The lights were on, but this was not the underground garage.

nA long row of bookshelves and a piano were placed in the empty room. The concrete floor under her feet had also become an old-fashioned wooden floor, extending to the bottom of the rectangular windows with white window frames…

nThis window?

nThis window…!

nYang Nianjiao remembered this window. That woman, that woman, from this window…

nThere was this room too!

nShe recognized it, this was the room where that woman lived alone!

nBut how was it possible?

nThat house… That house had long ceased to exist… Driver! Where did the driver go! It’s impossible for him to disappear so soon, it’s impossible…!

nThe humid smell in the air seemed to be heavier, and the outside was filled with the sound of rain.

nBy the way… When did the rain start?

nWasn’t she in the underground garage…!

nShe did not dare to approach the window. She forced herself to calm down, and after briefly looking around, she tried to run to the door of this room.

nBut she had also only ran two steps when a female voice suddenly rang behind her——

n“Why are you in my room?”

n“Ahhhhhhh!”

nA cry of horror reverberated in the huge room. Turning around to see the woman’s face clearly, Yang Nianjiao sat directly on the ground.

n“It’s you…it’s you…!”

n“Who are you?” The woman has a clean and beautiful face. Her facial features were three-dimensional, she was tall, and had a good figure.

nShe only appeared in this scene, but it seemed a bit gloomy.

n“Who are you?” The woman asked again. Seeing that she didn’t answer, she simply walked in her direction.

nYang Nianjiao, who had fallen to the ground, screamed in horror. She didn’t dare to look at the woman’s face carefully. She waved her limbs frantically, trying to go backward, but her skirt was too tight and her shoes were inconvenient. It was a futile struggle.

nOn the contrary, in her field of vision, the woman was getting closer and closer, until she could see the woman’s toes without looking up.

n“Ahhhhh!!!” In the empty room, Yang Nianjiao’s loud cry sounded again.

nShe heard the woman’s originally genial voice suddenly become horrifying: “I remember…Did you kill me?”

n“Don’t come here!!!”

nYang Nianjiao didn’t even dare to open her eyes to look, but somehow, that eerie and terrifying voice suddenly blasted in her ears: “You killed me, replaced me, and now you want to kill my son?!”

n“Ahhh!!!”

nYang Nianjiao confessed to everything.

nStanding in the next room observing all this, Pei Qingnian said with a face full of boredom: “That’s it. The plot we designed hasn’t unfolded yet.”

nBehind the large LCD monitor, Jing Xun entered the last string of codes, and at the same time flattered solemnly: “The scenes made by Senior are too realistic and too immersive.”

nPei Qingnian: “Hey, don’t flatter me.”

nAs Jing Xun typed the last enter key, the “room” displayed inside the scene quickly disappeared, restored to its original appearance, and turned into an empty warehouse.

nThe ticking rain disappeared, including the woman and the voice in the scene.

nIn the empty warehouse, only Yang Nianjiao shouted and screamed in extreme terror: “I pushed you down… I… pushed you down…”

nThe sudden silence made Yang Nianjiao, who was scared to death, feel that something was wrong, but she still didn’t dare to open her eyes to see it.

nWhen a blazing light came down, she suddenly felt wrong. She opened her eyes and found herself in a room that wasn’t even the underground garage of Shen’s house, but a…dirty warehouse full of musty smell!

nAt this time, a cold voice came from the speakers placed in all directions: “Grandpa, you have seen and heard.”

n“…” Yang Nianjiao showed an even more horrified expression. Then, the small door next to her was opened from the inside, and old man Shen’s figure came out first.

n“Unexpectedly, it was you…and that beast!”

nGrandpa Shen was obviously enraged. Shen Yijin and Jing Xun supported him from left to right.

nYang Nianjiao’s arms were twisted and she was pressed to the ground by the bodyguard who automatically rushed forward.

nShe was still dumbfounded at the moment, but she also knew that she had been fooled…

nBut how was it possible? ! She had always been on guard before!

nShe looked around in disbelief, everything just now…that scene was not this warehouse at all, everything just now was exactly the same as that day!

nEven that woman’s voice and face could be clearly presented in her mind at this moment, as if she was right in front of her eyes!

nHow can this be? !

nWhen struggling subconsciously, Yang Nianjiao found that although the warehouse was empty, strange-looking instruments were placed in every corner above her head.

nSquare, palm-sized, with a lens on top……

nCould it be that these things tricked her?! ! For her to think that it……was that woman who came back……

nJust as Yang Nianjiao felt incredulous, the sound of rain rang from the surrounding speakers again.

nAnd the sound of her screaming frantically just now.

n“I didn’t want to push you down, but you firmly disagree with the divorce! I just… that’s why I did that!”

n“Why! Why is your child born as the young master, but my child can only be aborted! I just want to replace you, and I want my child to be the young master of the Shen family!”

n“Ahhhhh, stay away from me, don’t come over, you are already dead!…”

nWith a “Zila” sound, the recording was turned off and did not continue to play.

nJing Xun said to Grandpa Shen: “Grandpa, the recording has been saved. Let the police handle this matter.”

n“Ok.”

nGrandpa Shen responded in anger, commanding the bodyguards and the lawyer who had been here since early morning: “Take her to the police station! Together with the evidence!”

n“No! Dad, Dad! For the sake of me serving you for so many years, don’t send me to the police station…” Yang Nianjiao, who was pressed to the ground, struggled.

nAlthough all the words just now were said by herself, at this moment Yang Nianjiao did not want to admit it.

nBut Grandpa Shen was full of anger and exhaustion that he didn’t want to talk to her anymore.

nSeeing that old man Shen simply ignored her,Yang Nianjiao was overcome with grief and anger: “If it weren’t for you, you set up a family rule forbidding Shen’s family to have illegitimate children outside, I would not be dragged by your son to get an abortion!”

n“Is my child not a human life? Why are you doing this to me! That’s right, I just want to marry into the Shen family, I just rightfully want to avenge my child! Did I do something wrong? That woman is not dead…”

nBut no matter how much she yelled, everyone looked at her indifferently, not even a voice to argue.

nIn the end, Yang Nianjiao didn’t even have the strength to continue screaming.

nIs it wrong? All these years she has been afraid to think about what happened back then.

nWhen she sneaked off to the Shen family to find that woman because of a moment of anger, shen originally just wanted to revenge the worthless scum man who didn’t hesitate to ask to abort the baby in order to preserve the image in front of his father.

nBut who knew that they had a dispute afterwards, and when she lost her mind for a moment, that woman was…

nThe scum came a step late, just in time to see her pushing the woman down.

nFortunately, that woman had depression, which can be justified as suicide.

nThe scum also had a conscience, and helped her cover up her traces that night… After the woman died, Yang Nianjiao’s fate also changed…

nThe scum didn’t dare to disobey his father, so she could only be a secret lover in the past. But because her identity had never been exposed, she could enter the gate of Shen’s house in an upright manner.

nShe lost a child, but she became pregnant again after she married into the Shen family, therefore her status had become clean. No one had doubted it in the past two decades.

nEven the Shen family’s much-loved first grandson was scared out of his mind that night ……

nBut was she really happy?

nAre these changes due to heaven’s compensation or punishment for her?

nHer husband was mediocre and lecherous, often messing with women outside. He couldn’t even compete with his younger brother in the family business.

nHer son followed his father. Although he was smart, he loved having fun and acted on impulse. He was ultimately inferior to Shen Yijin, and now he was even more…

nMoreover, Shen Yijin would get sick on rainy nights. Wasn’t she also the same?

nShe was tired, tired!

nYang Nianjiao got up from the ground by herself, tears of pain or regret in her eyes.

nShe was finally taken to the police station under the indifferent sight of everyone.

nJing Xun and Shen Yijin respectfully sent Grandpa Shen back to the car, and then returned to the warehouse to pack things with the others.

nMrs. Yang chose to take risks in order to destroy Shen Yijin, but he unexpectedly investigated her first and found out some clues from that year.

nHowever, after more than 20 years, there was no good way to identify her as the murderer and avenge the mother of Shen beside letting her admit it herself.

nIn order to really scare her, the restoration of the scene, the image and sound of Shen Yijin’s mother were all indispensable.

nFortunately, the latest equipment from country G that wanted to cooperate with Shen Yijin last time was an instrument that specialized in 3D imaging.

nJing Xun had read the information introduction before, and immediately thought of this kind of instrument.

nWith sufficiently realistic imaging equipment, all that was left was to completely restore the scenes and characters of the year and edit them into the computer.

nThis step was not difficult for experienced programmers, but the amount of engineering was huge, and Jing Xun couldn’t do it in a short period of time by himself. Fortunately, Senior could help.

nLastly, to enable the virtual character in the scene to follow the suspect’s words in a step-by-step manner without being seen as flaws, Jing Xun also brought out all his research successes during this period of time–his latest research AI intelligent system could achieve this function.

nWith everything in place, after a few days of busy work, the scene was reproduced.

nEverything was within the plan.

nHe just didn’t expect that the imaging technology was so realistic, and even a mentally strong person like Mrs. Yang collapsed instantly.

nJing Xun couldn’t help but sigh with Shen Yijin: “It seems that cooperation and capital injection are still necessary. Their technology is amazing.”

n“En.” Shen Yijin responded with a smile, and then said: “Xiao Xun and Senior also did a good job with the scenario.”

n“You’re flattering me, I’m not worthy of such compliments.” Pei Qingnian said.

nHe didn’t know since when Shen Yijin followed Jing Xun and started calling him senior.

nJing Xun calling him that was a given.

nIn any case, the wave of temporary workers who were new to the company was yelling senior sisters and seniors, which made sense.

nBut what’s the matter with Shen Yijin!

nThe people in the laboratory looked at him with an unusually strange look!

nPei Qingnian also complained… Tell Mr. Shen not to call him that, he was just a temporary worker who had not even graduated from graduate school!

nIt’s useless to complain, this pair of husbands didn’t care about his feelings at all!

nLater, not only Mr. Shen, but also the assistants, secretaries and supervisors who followed him… OK, Pei Qingnian was now everyone’s senior.

nAssistant Xiao Tang on the side said: “Senior, if you’re free in the evening, let’s have a meal together. Boss will treat us right?”

nOf course, Shen Yijin didn’t object: “En, you choose the location.”

nToday’s matter couldn’t be exposed before they succeed. Those who could be called for help were people whom Shen Yijin absolutely trusts.

nSo after sending off old man Shen, there were only a few assistants and secretaries of Shen Yijin… and Tang Li, who didn’t go abroad in the end.

nShen Yijin said, “Everyone has worked hard.”

nEveryone had been busy working together these days, and it was indeed hard work. Hearing that President Shen was going to treat them, they naturally wanted to relax. Everyone immediately cheered and started discussing where to go.

nWhile everyone was chatting and tidying up, Jing Xun got to Shen Yijin’s side.

nTo be honest, the scene reproduced just now was indeed too realistic. Even if he missed it a few times during the “rehearsal”, he was still afraid that sir would feel uncomfortable when he saw it, especially when he heard what Mrs. Yang said.

nBut Shen Yijin didn’t seem to have any unusual reactions.

nInstead, when he found Jing Xun cautiously approaching him and anxiously looking at him, Shen Yijin was amused.

nHe rubbed the young man’s cheek and took the initiative to say: “I’m fine.”

n“Mmm.” Jing Xun lowered his head and tidied up the wires on the equipment. That meant, I’m not worried about you.

n“Thank you, Xiao Xun.” Shen Yijin said again.

nToday’s overall arrangement was in fact simple, but if there was no Jing Xun, it would take months and years to achieve the convincingly realistic scene.

nFrom the moment when the evidence was obtained and they could sentence the murderer, the last bit of obsession in Shen Yijin’s heart also disappeared.

nJust now, he really came out.

nAt this time, staring at the extremely outstanding young man in front of him, seeing his handsome features and eyebrows, Shen Yijin couldn’t help smiling.

nJing Xun: “……”

nHe accidentally looked him in the eyes, and was awed by those gentle peach blossom eyes of his. Jing Xun turned away embarrassedly after a long time.

nThen he was a little angry again.

n“Didn’t we agree not to say thank you?” Jing Xun: “This rule was clearly set by you first sir!”

n“Okay, then I’ll say something else.” Shen Yijin reached out and pulled him, and lifted his own steps forward, walking directly in front of Jing Xun.

nHis back was straight, and he looked down at the youth’s eyes slightly, with a bright light in the depth.

nShen Yijin called him.

nHe said to him solemnly: “I love you, Xiao Xun.”

n……

nThe interlaced hands and the two rings on their ring fingers reflected each other. Jing Xun faintly understood something.

n——Sir couldn’t utter a romantic, loving talk.

nWhat Shen Yijin said was the truth.

nThe friends who were still buzzing about and discussing where they should go next seemed to have noticed that there was much less movement on their side.

nBut Jing Xun couldn’t care less.

nHis eyelashes trembled and his heart was boiling hot. He was unable to restrain his shyness, but still insisted on looking straight forward.

nThen Jing Xun smiled.

nHe also said solemnly: “I love you too, sir.”
