Chapter 1835
The streets were deserted at this hour, but Fu Shenyan was driving with great concentration.
Somehow, his expression suddenly struck me. Many years later, I still clearly remember this night, when he acted all so calmly, like a windless lake without a single fluctuation, but I could feel his stronger love.
If today, the choice was really between revenge and dying for me, he would choose the latter without hesitation.
But there are no ifs in life, and there is no need to take a life for nothing for the sake of a non-existent hypothesis.
The journey was uneventful. Fu Shenyan dropped me off at the crossroads near Shen’s house and pulled over to the side of the road.
When I saw Miller’s car, I unbuckled my seat belt and was about to get out, but Fu Shen Yan suddenly spoke in a low, deep voice, “You’re wrong.”
The words were so inexplicable that I was confused for a moment, “What?”
I’m not sure if you’re wrong this time, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be wrong every time. If you dare to get into trouble, I’ll be there for you, and no one and nothing can stop that. ”
I froze for a moment, not expecting such scurrilous words to come out of his mouth.
Fu Shenyin was absolutely right, it was only after I got out of the lab that my soul was completely grounded, and I had also reported the thought that life and death were up to me, deciding that as long as Fu Shenyin was there, everything I cared about, would be fine.
But I had not considered that Fu Shen Yan would not be able to accept my departure, and that even the thought of it would be a death sentence to his heart.
There is nothing that I can do more than watch my beloved die.
Suddenly, he realised that Fu Shenyan’s sensitive little mind also needed to be appeased.
Even though I really didn’t have much hope, I looked him in the eye and bit off every word, “Of course I won’t die, and even if I do, I’ll have to send Zhao Shuang and the people behind her to jail first, our children are so cute, I won’t leave them alone in this lucrative world.”
Fu Shen Yan’s slightly furrowed brow stretched out at his words, and his expression suddenly eased up a lot, a smile dripping from his eyes.
Yes, he was clear that the child was more important to me than life.
Who would have imagined that the sage of the market, who can wield millions of dollars with a single movement of his hand, would also behave like a child, confirming the outcome twice in three minutes for a promise and an affirmation.
The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.
As I got into the car, I was still gloating over what I had just done, but Miller had already started the engine and was driving in the direction of Shen’s house.
The faint headlights of the car made his silhouette smaller and smaller, as if he were a delicate sculpture in a window on the side of the street, not moving at all as he watched the direction I was leaving.
I turned around and stared at Miller’s face through the rearview mirror and asked, “I want to know the truth.”
Miller did not move and raised his eyelids, his voice faint, “Mr. Fu should have told you everything.”
Chapter 1836
“Yes, he showed me the truth I was hoping for.” I completely collected all my expressions and looked at her back solemnly, “The experiments that needed to be transferred, the volunteers that were exhibited as merchandise, everything seemed to make sense, the only thing you forgot with you guys was that the corridor in the bas*ment had no obstructions, even if I had fallen, there was no way that only the wound on my neck was left behind until now.”
I didn’t know why Fu Shen Yan had lied, but looking at him intact and threatening me like a ferocious beast, forbidding me to have thoughts of waiting to die, I didn’t have to count on it.
Fu Shen Yan wanted me to feel that what I had just seen was the truth, so I did as he wished and reassured him.
Miller didn’t answer, but silence was the best answer.
“What price did Fu Shenyan pay you?” I grimaced, a little angry, “I remember Huo Tianlin said, in your line of work, the most important thing, apart from ability, is loyalty, I am the one who hired you, and you went to join others to deceive me, do you think there is still trust between us, and the need to continue working together?”
The atmosphere here suddenly became tense, and after a moment of silent driving, Miller turned the wheel and pulled over to the side of the road.
She rolled down the window, lit a cigarette and took a sharp drag before looking sideways at me, “It was indeed Fu Shenyan’s men who knocked you out last night, you and I are under contract, my task is to ensure your safety, investigating what happened is not my expertise, so I have nothing to say, as for whether I took double money, a large can ask Fu Shenyan for proof, if you don’t want to see me, I can leave and protect you in the shadows, but I won’t go until the contract is done.”
Miller acted calmly, probably anticipating the possibility of being poked by me before he accepted Fu’s arrangement, and perhaps this was within Fu’s expectations.
But I didn’t want to see through all the arrangements and have Fu Shenyan find out about it again.
I believe you did not do this for money, but no matter what, I do not want the same thing to happen again, this is the first and last time, I have no second best. I’ll pay you what I have to pay you, but you don’t have to protect me anymore, I don’t need to have someone I’m worried about staying around.”
Miller inclined his head and made a quick decision, “For the last time.”
It was an admission of fault, and a promise.
I will give her this chance since I have chosen to forgive by using people.
“Very well, this matter will pass, since you are not good at investigation, then find one in your circle that is good at it for me to come over, I need to know what Fu Shen Yan is actually doing.”
“Yes.”
“Go home, it’s late.”
Miller nodded, flicked the cigarette butt out the window and sped up to drive to Shen’s house.
Looking at the neon lights that kept receding backwards, I frowned, feeling a sudden extra heavy burden on my shoulders.
What should I do with Fu Shen Yan?
He had gone to great lengths to unite with Shen Yu’s group to wrap me in a huge lie, hoping that I would wait for the antidote to be developed, to stop thinking about dying and to leave me in this world.
Despite all the holes, it must be said that he succeeded.
Now, without being able to confirm the exact danger he faced, I dare not mention “death” again.
