After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 505 - 500: Questioning.
Chapter 505: Chapter 500: Questioning.
Night had fallen.
Shen Feng drove alone to the location arranged by Shen Wenhong. Pulling up beside the riverbank, he stepped out from the bustling area into the stillness and felt the surrounding wind grow chillier.
Taking a few steps forward, he spotted Shen Wenhong standing quietly, "Dad."
Shen Wenhong turned around and saw his tall and straight son, a satisfied smile spreading across his face, "Staying in the country for so long must have been tough on you."
"It’s not been hard for me, but now the entire Shen Family is struggling. Dad, what are you planning to do by coming back this time? Those two research projects at the research institute, how much do you actually know?" Or to put it another way, how much do you know about Shen Yan?
Shen Feng actually wanted to ask more directly about their connection with Shen Yan.
Shen Wenhong’s expression darkened, "Don’t ask too many questions about these matters; I will handle them. I’ve also made things clear to the Shen Family, if there’s no way to progress in the country, you and Xiao Ning should come with me. Abroad, you can have more opportunities for development. You don’t need to be constrained by the research institute. Discuss this matter with Xiao Ning."
"Anning and Bai Zhong’s relationship is strong, are you intending to break their matrimonial bond?" Shen Feng pressed.
"After such an incident, what help has the Bai Family offered Xiao Ning? If we all leave, and she’s left alone, do you think the Bai Family would continue to treat her the same without her natal family behind her? Without the support of a natal family, the Bai Family probably wouldn’t give Xiao Ning a second glance." Human nature is just that cruel!
"Bai Zhong wouldn’t do that."
Shen Wenhong shook his head, disagreeing with Shen Feng’s optimism, "Have you become this naive? I regret not taking you with us from the start so you wouldn’t end up this way."
"I regret not leaving with you all as well. At least at this time, I could do something rather than just stand behind and watch everything in confusion. Dad, what have you all been doing behind the scenes? Did my sister really die from an accident? And did she leave that year because she longed for a life abroad?"
Shen Feng didn’t know what had triggered him, but he raised his voice in questioning Shen Wenhong, his eyes bloodshot and focused on his father.
"Slap."
Shen Wenhong swung his hand across in a slap.
He burst out angrily, "Don’t mention that unfilial girl in front of me."
Shen Feng touched his mouth with his tongue and looked back at Shen Wenhong, "I might be young, but I have memories too. Apart from going abroad, I don’t see how she was unfilial. Why target Shen Yan at the research institute? And why did she destroy that sample? What’s so special about that sample? Dad, don’t think that Anning and I are fools who can’t see anything."
Shen Wenhong’s voice lowered, "What did she tell you? You believe her words? It was her and that man of hers who sent your mother to that place. You don’t think about saving your mother, instead, you trust the words of others and doubt your own parents."
Shen Feng managed a smile, "What are you rushing to cover up? Why won’t you explain things to us? We are family, aren’t we?"
"Since we are a family, you shouldn’t side with outsiders. Shen Yan might be young, but she is very calculating and full of schemes; she’s attempting to ruin the Shen Family. She merely shares the same name as your sister; don’t hold any illusions about this woman." Shen Wenhong’s voice grew even more somber, "Xiao Feng, don’t let her bewitch your mind."
Shen Feng dropped his gaze and fidgeted with his collar, his voice slightly hoarse, "What can I do?"
"Just look after Xiao Ning and don’t let her get involved. Dad promises you, it will all be resolved soon. Your mother will also be out soon to reunite with you all, and then our family will leave this place." Shen Wenhong stepped forward and patted his shoulder, "Don’t disappoint Dad."
Shen Feng looked at the stranger before him who was his father, closing his eyes gently, "Okay, I understand."
He knew he would not receive the answers he sought from Shen Wenhong.
*
The next day.
Shen Yan got up early and hurried to the research institute.
Before she could enter the institute, she saw a figure standing by the road, which Shen Yan chose to ignore.
Shen Ning opened her mouth but couldn’t bring herself to call out.
Getting out of the car, Shen Yan was informed that Vice Dean Shao and the others were ready to leave, "He Group Leader came to meet you in person; he’s just up ahead. We’ll wait here for you for ten minutes."
Shen Yan nodded and walked towards the building in front, entering the resting room.
Group Leader He was already waiting inside, "Shen Yan, I’ll cut to the chase. That Dr. Shen, I’ve had experience working with him; you need to be careful."
Shen Yan was a little surprised, "I thought you would side with the Shen Family."
"After what Jian Yu did, I can’t see them the same way as before. Shen Yan, I am on your side. This time, it was Shen Wenhong who requested to meet with you alone. Anyway, you must be very careful."
Shen Yan said, "I won’t be at a disadvantage under his hand."
"Don’t be too confident. He looks polite and well-mannered, but he’s quite ruthless in his actions."
"It seems Group Leader He has had a rough time with him," Shen Yan smiled.
But Group Leader He had a serious expression, "If there really is a conflict, don’t take him on alone."
Shen Yan knew that Group Leader He meant well for her and nodded in compliance, "I will be careful, thank you."
Group Leader He shook his head, "Jian Yu said that you destroyed that sample, but we don’t believe you would do such a thing."
Shen Yan’s gaze deepened, "Group Leader He, if that sample came at the expense of a person’s life, would you continue?"
"What?" Group Leader He squinted his eyes, "What do you know? Is the person protecting that sample someone close to you?"
"Protecting?" Shen Yan laughed coldly, "Group Leader He, I mean the sample contains human tissue."
Group Leader He’s eyes widened, his face turned pale in an instant, and he staggered back, "What do you mean by that?"
Shen Yan turned around, masking the icy cold in her eyes, "You’re conducting research on people."
Group Leader He’s head was ringing loudly.
He fell into his seat unsteadily.
Shen Yan walked out without paying any attention to the psychological impact her words might have on Group Leader He.
"Where is Group Leader He?" Vice Dean Shao looked behind her.
"She seemed a bit tired and is resting inside."
"Let’s go, today is our first confrontation with them; we can’t be careless," Vice Dean Shao didn’t bother with Group Leader He either.
Shen Yan drove her own car and followed the group, and upon leaving, she could still see Shen Ning standing on the side.
As the motorcade left, Shen Ning quickly ran to her car and followed from a distance.
Also following behind was Qi Si’s man.
Qi Si had headed to the Shen Residence early in the morning.
That was Du Family territory.
Wang Jue and others had gathered here waiting for him since before dawn.
Qi Si strode through the door, glanced at the few people standing inside, and said coldly, "I’m only giving you twenty minutes."
He had to get there before their meeting began.
Everyone exchanged glances, their nerves tense.
They were well aware of the disaster that would ensue if Qi Si lost control over this matter.
