Chapter 271: I Didn’t Do It!

After Ji Yan had beaten Lu Shaoyang until he was on the verge of death, Ji Yan’s hot-headed brain finally calmed down a little. He tenderly carried Shen Hanxing, who was like sleeping beauty, and felt her warm body pressed against his chest. Only then did his heartbeat start to slow down. Fortunately, he came in time. He didn’t dare to imagine what kind of harm Shen Hanxing would have suffered if he hesitated a little longer today.

“Shen family, Lu family,” Ji Yan sneered. His eyes were as cold as the emperor of the night. He looked down at Lu Shaoyang, who was lying on the ground, and said in a deep voice, “I’ll remember it.”

Shen Yong, who had endured the pain of being kicked, ran over to check on the situation. When he heard this, his expression changed. The Shen family had already started to decline after they had chosen the wrong side in the development of the east and west side of the cities. If they were to be targeted by the Ji Corporation again… No, this absolutely could not happen!

“CEO Ji, this is all a misunderstanding!” Shen Yong ignored the pain and pounced forward to pretend to take a look at the situation in the room. Then, he suddenly turned around and slapped Shen Sisi. He berated, “What’s going on? I asked you to arrange for your sister to go back to the room to rest. Why did Young Master Lu come in?!”

Shen Sisi covered her aching cheeks and looked at Shen Yong in shock. “Dad?!” she exclaimed. What was the meaning of this? Was her father going to let her shoulder everything and face the wrath of Ji Yan alone?

“Do you know that doing this will harm our entire family! Hanxing is your older sister! How dare you attack your sister, you cold-blooded and heartless monster!” Shen Yong flew into a rage. He roared and interrupted Shen Sisi’s words, “What good will you get if you harm your sister? If you harm the Shen family, your mother, your brother, and you will all end up on the streets, do you understand?!”

This was a threat!

Shen Sisi’s heart turned cold. In addition to her grief and anger, she actually found it funny. Why should she care about Shen Jie’s future? Even her mother taught her younger brother that the Shen family would belong to Shen Jie in the future. Since the Shen family’s assets had nothing to do with her, why should she care about the Shen family? It was ridiculous. On one hand, Shen Yong felt that Shen Sisi was a daughter to be married off and would become an outsider. Therefore, she was not entitled to any asset belonging to the Shen family. On the other hand, Shen Yong asked her to sacrifice herself to protect the Shen family. Did he treat her like a fool?

“I didn’t do it!” Shen Sisi covered her face and raised her voice, “It’s not like I can make the decisions in this family! I’ve never been to this room before, and I don’t know why Lu Shaoyang is here!”

“You still dare to quibble?” Seeing that Shen Sisi did not listen to him and admitted she was behind all of this, Shen Yong’s expression changed drastically. He raised his hand and was about to hit her again.

“Enough!” Seeing this farce, Ji Yan had a mocking gaze in his eyes, but his heart ached even more. His heart ached for Shen Hanxing who had been born into such a family, and for having such a father who was so heartless and unloyal. Everyone in the Shen family was disgusting. He was not in the mood to get involved in the fight between Shen Yong and Shen Sisi. He ordered Chen Liang coldly, “The pot of flowers, the lights on the ceiling, and the books on the bookshelves. Remove all of it.”

Chen Liang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and did as he was told. In a short while, dozens of tiny cameras, big and small, were placed on the ground. Shen Yong’s face instantly turned pale. He opened his mouth and wanted to argue, however, he heard Ji Yan sneer, “Mr. Shen, I’m not a fool. Don’t tell me that you are so incompetent that you don’t even know that there are so many cameras installed in the house, Mr. Shen. Then, I have to reasonably doubt whether you have the ability to manage the Shen family.”

Shen Yong was suddenly speechless.

Ji Yan looked down at him and sneered, “It seems that it’s a good thing for the Shen family’s company to have a new CEO.”

“No, you can’t do that!” Understanding what Ji Yan meant, Shen Yong’s expression changed. He couldn’t help but raise his voice, “CEO Ji, this is a misunderstanding. I can explain!”

At this moment, Lu Shaoyang, who was lying silently on the ground, seemed to have regained some consciousness. He slowly realized what had happened and his pupils dilated. His heart was filled with belated fear. Ji Yan? Ji Yan had rushed over? If Ji Yan pursued the matter, not only would they not be able to obtain the benefits they had planned, they would even implicate their family members…

“CEO… CEO Ji…” Lu Shaoyang coughed, he forced himself to endure the pain and said, “I… I haven’t done anything to Hanxing. Please believe me. I have no intention of hurting Hanxing. I was just confused and bewitched by him. I sincerely apologize to you, CEO Ji.”
