Chapter 469: You’re Afraid of Him
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I’ve already done what you wanted me to do.”
Sang Qianqian looked at Ruan Xiaodie on the other end of the video call, her heart burning with anger.
However, she could only remain calm on the surface. “Can you let me see Shen Shaofeng? I want to confirm if he is still alive.”
“Isn’t that simple?”
Ruan Xiaodie waved her hand, and someone immediately brought a computer over. She turned on the remote monitoring system inside, and Shen Shaofeng’s image appeared on the screen.
It was still the same cramped room from last time. However, after being locked up for so long, he clearly didn’t have much hope of getting out. His hair and beard were unkempt, and his complexion was extremely bad. He only lay on the wooden bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.
“Can you see him?”
Ruan Xiaodie asked calmly and adjusted a close-up. “Is it clear enough?”
The camera focused on Shen Shaofeng’s face. He was so thin that he was almost skin and bones. His cheekbones were high, and his eyes were numb and empty. There was no sign of life in them.
Sang Qianqian almost couldn’t bear to watch anymore. “I want to see him face to face.”
Ruan Xiaodie refused without even thinking. “That’s impossible.”
“You’ve seen his current state. 1 don’t even know how long he can last.”
Sang Qianqian tried to persuade Ruan Xiaodie. “I just want to see him. Can’t I just meet him?”
“No.”
Ruan Xiaodie threw the mouse away, raised her hand to close the computer, and said impatiently, “There’s no room for discussion on this matter. Stop talking about it.”
“Why not?”
Sang Qianqian was instantly enraged. Suppressing her emotions, she said, “During this period, you’ve been telling me to do so much, and I’ve never gone against you. I’ve done a lot, so shouldn’t you show some sincerity?”
Ruan Xiaodie’s face turned cold. “Are you negotiating with me?”
“Xiaodie, you have to put yourself in Qianqian’s shoes. You used Shen Shaofeng to threaten her and force her to separate from Shen Hanyu.”
Xie Shi’an frowned. “We’re already overseas. What’s wrong with letting her see Shen Shaofeng?”
“So this is the reason why you came overseas?”
Ruan Xiaodie laughed. “You asked me to arrange a place for you to stay, saying that you wanted to avoid Shen Hanyu. Was that just a cover?”
“Shen Hanyu will definitely go to great lengths to find Qianqian if she disappears. If we go overseas, you’ll protect us. It’ll be more or less safe.”
Xie Shi’an said calmly, “As for Shen Shaofeng, it’s normal for us to want to see him. Who knows if the video you showed us was recorded in real time?”
“Brother Shi’an, you’re worrying too much. Surveillance cameras are surveillance cameras. I don’t have to lie to you. As for meeting him, that’s impossible.”
Ruan Xiaodie adjusted herself into a comfortable position and smiled. “Also, you can return to your country tomorrow. Don’t worry, Shen Hanyu won’t have the energy or time to look for Sister Qianqian.”
Seeing her straightforward rejection and hearing the meaning behind her words, Sang Qianqian really wanted to kill her. She didn’t know what the woman was going to do to Shen Hanyu.
“Xiaodie, Qianqian wants to see Shen Shaofeng for a reason.” Xie Shi’an was still trying to persuade her. “Shen Shaofeng’s legs are crippled and he’s stubborn. Didn’t he refuse to eat last time and even scolded you? You might have killed him long ago, but you’re just lying to us so that you can make us do this and that for you.”
“He’s just an old man who’s struggling at death’s door. He won’t live for long even if 1 don’t kill him myself.”
Ruan Xiaodie held the coffee cup and slowly took a sip. “Why dirty my hands?”
As soon as she said this, Sang Qianqian felt as if she had been struck by a bolt of lightning. All the blood in her body instantly rushed to her head.
She could no longer control her anger. “I’ve given you everything you wanted. I have nothing to do with Shen Hanyu now, but you’re saying that Shen Shaofeng won’t live long? Ruan Xiaodie, are you kidding me?”
Ruan Xiaodie sat on the sofa with a cup of coffee in her hand. She smiled and said, “Sister Qianqian, whatever you do is your own choice.”
“My own choice? Isn’t this all because of you?”
Sang Qianqian had never been so angry before. She gritted her teeth and said, “Do you know why I’m under your control because of Shen Shaofeng? It’s because 1 owe Shen Hanyu. He has saved my life more than once, and he dealt with the Ruan family because of me. I broke up with him according to your request. I lied to him and betrayed him. He must hate me and will never forgive me. In the future, he and 1 will go our separate ways and will not have any interactions.”
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Ruan Xiaodie, my life has been ruined by you. 1 did so much just to keep Shen Shaofeng alive! How could you do this to him?”
“Sister Qianqian, I think you still don’t understand the situation.”
Ruan Xiaodie said slowly, “I gave you a chance because of our old friendship. Otherwise, your life would’ve been even more ruined than it is now. At least, you still have Brother Shi’an and your freedom.”
“Freedom?”
Sang Qianqian was fuming with anger. Her entire body was trembling. “I can’t live a good life. I can’t have a good husband. 1 have to be controlled by others and hide from place to place. What kind of freedom is this?”
“It seems that Sister Qianqian doesn’t understand my kindness at all.”
“Are you hoping that like Shen Hanyu, Shen Shaofeng will receive the surveillance footage instead?” Ruan Xiaodie said lightly.
Xie Shi’an’s expression changed. Sang Qianqian looked at Ruan Xiaodie, and her heart suddenly calmed down.
It was impossible for her to meet with Shen Shaofeng, and she was already at odds with Ruan Xiaodie. She might as well give it a shot and make the latter afraid.
“Hanyu isn’t like me, who will obediently be manipulated.”
Sang Qianqian smiled. “You can try and see what you can get. Also, you better pray that you never let Hanyu know that you kidnapped his father and killed him. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not reminding you what happened to your brother, Ruan Cheng.”
Ruan Xiaodie stared at Sang Qianqian with a sinister expression. “Don’t speak too early. Shen Hanyu’s fate will only be worse than my brother’s.”
“Is that so? Speaking of which, Ruan Xiaodie, can you explain why you’ve always been hiding behind the scenes, acting mysterious and stirring up trouble for so long? Why don’t you dare to let Hanyu know that you’re involved in those things, and why don’t you dare to confront him like your brother?”
Although Sang Qianqian had a smile on her lips, her eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. “You’re afraid of him. You know that you’re no match for him, so you can only secretly play tricks to cause harm.”
Ruan Xiaodie’s expression changed slightly, but after a moment, she regained her smile. “Is that what you think?”
“What else? You had the guts to kidnap Shen Shaofeng, but why didn’t you have the guts to let Shen Hanyu know? Why did you only dare to use his father to threaten me? You forced me to break up with him and leave him just to disturb his mind and make him have no time to care about you. That way, you could continue to carry out your evil revenge plan.”
Sang Qianqian said coldly, “It was also you who instigated the Li Family to enter Zhen Group and made Li Zhongjin fight with Zhen Zhu, right? You hid abroad and didn’t dare to let Shen Hanyu know what you did. Do you really think this will stay as a secret? Ruan Xiaodie, you’re underestimating him..”
