In contrast to the bustling during the day, the night at the hospital was more peaceful. At the balcony that quite isolated from people. Shen Tianyun and Lin Xueyue stood side by side together. Since Meng Xin would wake up in the next hour, they did not have any better activity to do besides enjoying a cool breeze and watching the night sky.
Under the illumination of moonlight, Shen Tianyun in his blood-stained clothe stood still with a calm expression, there was no worry on his face even the slightest.
"Guilty?" Lin Xueyue broke the silence, asked softly.
Shen Tianyun did not reply right away, he still gazed at a distance away for a moment before slowly turned his head to Lin Xueyue, with a faint smile hung on his lips, "What do you think?" His voice was serene, emotionless.
Lin Xueyue stared straight into Shen Tianyun's eyes for a while, a faint smile appeared on her lips too, "I'm not sure about it, you seem to be more softer than before." She replied plainly and shifted her gaze onto the bright moon in the sky.
Shen Tianyun followed her and gazed towards the sky, "A chess piece will always be a chess piece. When a chess piece did unnecessary things by its stupidity. Do I have to feel guilty?" He replied emotionlessly.
Hearing his answer, a corner of Lin Xueyue's mouth curved up into a charming smile. Her heart became relaxed as she confirmed, Shen Tianyun was still the same as Shen Tianyun that she knows.
The chess piece that Shen Tianyun referred to at that moment was no other than a pitiful woman, Meng Xin. Before today, Shen Tianyun had planned to sacrifice her as he knew Zhou Feng would trying to kidnap her back.
Shen Tianyun had prepared several methods to lure Han Sheng away from Meng Xin in the most effective way as possible and gave a good opportunity for Zhou Feng's men to make their move on her. Everything went according to his plan, the only unexpected event was Meng Xin tried to stop Zhou Feng from harming him and end up being shot on her uterus.
Since she was no other than a chess piece to him, even she was to die today. Shen Tianyun won't feel any guilty towards her. He was already lenient to Meng Xin as he gave her a new lease of life. Back in the day, he played with her emotion and made her completely loyal to him, became his chess piece.
It was quite out of his expectation that Meng Xin has fallen for him this fast, but Shen Tianyun did not mind about it since everything became easier at this point and he did not have to wait for too long to move this chess piece around on the chessboard.
"You probably don't know how hard it was for me to hold my laughter back when I heard the system said about my good merits… Good merit huh? A sin on my bloody hands is far exceeded every good merit that I ever committed back then." Shen Tianyun said in a mocking tone and paused for a moment before he continued, "Do you still remember Shi Zongyang of Shi company?… He was the first man I killed in the business world. After his company went bankrupt, his wife and his daughter have been forced to be a prostitute… what do you think about how I feel back then?"
Shen Tianyun turned to look at Lin Xueyue beside him at the same time she was also turned her head to look at him. Their eyes met each other and there was no emotion on them. Lin Xueyue did not reply as she already knew the answer.
"That's right, I didn't feel guilty at all. On the contrary, I was very satisfied and enjoyed it. I love that feeling when I forced someone to their death's door, step by step… It was full of thrills and excitement that I never felt before." Shen Tianyun said excitedly with an evil smile on his face, "On that day, I finally realized who I am… Maybe it was because I had experienced countless hardships and tribulations during my youth, my heart has been molded by the cruel environment or whatever. In the end, I didn't hate it."
Surprisingly, facing this side of him, Lin Xueyue was unperturbed and she even smiled warmly at him without any fear in her eyes. There was only love and affection on it. Since she knew him very well, how could she not know about this? She knew everything, every event, every underhand method that Shen Tianyun used to kill his enemies. If he was not cruel and merciless, how could he worthy of the 'Emperor' title? How could he climb to the very top of the world?
A moment later, Shen Tianyun's expression turned back to normal, there was a gentle smile hung on his lips as he said, "I don't know what I would have become if I didn't have Hong'er back then." He cast his gaze to the sky once again before he continued, "She is the only light in my life. For her, I'm willing to do every good and evil things in this world…and I know she was secretly helped those victims who suffered from my evil deeds all the time." His voice became very gentle whenever he mentioned Shen Xiaohong.
"You are right, I become softer since I came to this world… I was very conflict in my heart at first, it was because I know that Hong'er always wanted me to be a good man. I don't know if this is a chance for me to wash myself clean, there were so many times I want to give up everything and live my life as a normal person… but then again, this group of idiots keep reminding me of how cruel this world is and I should stop being passive."
"Not to mention this system, It's like I am destined to be something in this life. Although I hate being manipulated by someone but somehow I feel this system and also Goddess Xi Yao has no malice towards me. So I want to unravel the secret behind this. To do that, I need everything whether it is money or power, I need it all." Shen Tianyun said calmly. He looked at Lin Xueyue again and said further, "And you, Yue'er, when I realized you are the same Yue'er that I know before. I was so excited back then, and that day when you regained a memory from your past life, I've already decided, I will kill whoever trying to provoking me and you." His voice was incomparably cold when he said the last sentence.
Lin Xueyue grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly before she said, "Ever since I took over Dongfang Group in my twenties, I have stepped over the corpses of other businesses, the loss of countless jobs and the devastation of endless families, it was no less than what you did." She raised her head to look at Shen Tianyun's face and said in a rare passionate voice, "We are both scorpions who instinctively killed everyone that provoking us. We are a black heart couple who using people as our pawns without sympathy. We are devils who didn't hesitate to reap countless innocent lives just for a benefit… So no matter what, good or bad, heaven or hell, I will always stand by your side."
Hearing her passionate speech, a warmth welled up in his heart. Shen Tianyun quickly pulled her into his embrace and said softly, "Thank you, Yue'er. In this world, you are the only ones who understand me the most."
After enjoyed a warmth from Shen Tianyun's embrace for a moment, Lin Xueyue said softly, "Actually, I always envy Hong'er. You know, she can make you smiled, she can make you relaxed, she can do so many things which I never could. Also, I like you more when you are with her. I hoped we can meet her again in this world."
Shen Tianyun did not say anything, he had decided long ago to find Shen Xiaohong. From Goddess Xi Yao's words, he pretty much believed Shen Xiaohong has been transmigrated to this world too.
A moment later, Shen Tianyun said softly, "Both of you are the most important in my heart. You don't have to envy her."
Lin Xueyue smiled sweetly in his embrace when she heard these heartfelt words form him. After gave a small 'Mhm' back to him, Lin Xueyue asked, "What are you going to do with Meng Xin?"
Shen Tianyun thought for a bit, he lowered his head to look at her and said, "Originally, I want to let her go after this incident but thinking of it, she is not a bad woman, it would be a waste if I let her go… You don't mind me playing with her right?"
Lin Xueyue pursed her lips, "You lustful pig."
Shen Tianyun grinned evilly as he moved his hand downwards and squeezed Lin Xueyue's perky butt lightly, "Yeah, I'm a lustful pig. Tell me, when I can eat my Yue'er."
Caught off guard, Lin Xueyue blushed slightly as she snorted, "You have to be more sincere than this and do everything as I said until I'm satisfied." Originally she wanted to give everything to him as soon as possible but this lustful man in front of her dared to play with another woman before her. She wanted to torture him a little further.
"What?" Shen Tianyun was dumbfounded upon hearing this. What kind of condition is this? When will she be satisfied then?
...
Knock! Knock!
When Shen Tianyun left the scene with Meng Xin, at the same time, Lan Lunmei knocked on the CEO room's door fiercely and barged in without waiting for a people inside to reply. She quickly walked to the front of the desk and bowed slightly as she said hurriedly.
"Master, Young Master has killed Zhou Feng's bodyguards and brutally crippled Zhou Feng. Right now, our people are waiting for the master's order."
The beautiful woman behind the desk stopped moving her hand from signing a document when she heard this report. A rare frown appeared on her face, she put an expensive fountain pen down and said, "Tell me everything from the start."
Lan Lunmei nodded her head and started to narrate, "Around 20 minutes ago, a woman named Meng Xin has been kidnapped by Zhou Feng's bodyguards. When Young master received the call from Han Sheng, a bodyguard that Young master hired to protect Meng Xin, he immediately drove a car off at a high speed."
"Not only Young master has surprised us with his insane driving skill, but he also seemed to know where Meng Xin has been brought to because he went straight to that place without hesitation at all. After he arrived at that place, Young master instantly killed 2 bodyguards and crippled Zhou Feng by crushed his arms and his legs, including his genital."
"From a report, the level of Qi that Young master has released could be compared to a peak stage 9 of Qi Gathering Realm. It has been confirmed by both of our men. Furthermore, Young master also uses a third level of 'Mirage Shadow', a movement technique from Su family. Right now, our men are waiting for the master's order." Lan Lunmei said respectfully.
The woman tapped her desk pondered for a bit, she asked further, "What did he say?"
Lan Lunmei seemed to expect this question, she replied firmly, "Young master said he won't kill Zhou Feng but to prevent him from harming any woman in the future."
A very rare faint smile appeared on the woman's lips as she said coldly, "Since he want that trash to live on, then do as he said. As for 2 corpses, clean it neatly. Don't let any evidence left."
Lan Lunmei hesitated, she asked, "But master, if we let Zhou Feng go, I'm afraid…"
Before Lan Lunmei could finish the sentence, the woman interrupted coldly, "Since he wants to do this, that means he has his way to deal with it. As for that 2 corpses, he wants to test our attitude… Do it as I said."
Lan Lunmei was startled before she nodded hurriedly and quickly left the room afterward. The woman fell into silence for a moment, she took a picture out from a drawer. There was a handsome man and a very beautiful woman holding each other's hands on it.
While caressing a picture, the woman said softly in a low voice that only her could hear, "Qingshan, it seems our son is more capable than both of us when we were around his age… I know I should be happy but I couldn't stop a fear in my heart… I don't know how long I could protect him, I hoped it was long enough…"
5 minutes later, she put a picture back into a drawer and picked a pen up. She continued to sign her name on a document afterward. It was written as 'Lan Qingcheng'.
...
In the intensive care unit private room, Meng Xin slowly opened her eyes in slight dizziness. As she realized where she was, Meng Xin turned her head to her right side and saw a familiar figure sat beside her.
"You have wake up, Xin'er. Are you still hurt?" Shen Tianyun smiled warmly at her while he reached out his hand to grabbed her hand.
Seeing her beloved man has been waiting for her, a sweetness bloomed in her heart. She was about to say something, suddenly, she saw Lin Xueyue's figure from a corner of her eyes. She immediately swallowed back her word. A sense of inferiority immediately replaced a previous sweetness in her heart.
Noticing this, Lin Xueyue said softly, "You don't have to fear me. I heard that you were trying to protect Tianyun…Thank you, for doing this."
Meng Xin was shocked, she did not expect Lin Xueyue to show gratitude towards her. She quickly shook her head, "No No, Princess Lin, I don't deserve this." Meng Xin replied.
Lin Xueyue smiled gently, "No, you deserved this. From now on, you can call me by my name."
Meng Xin was dumbstruck, her meddle head could not comprehend Lin Xueyue's words at this moment. It took her full 2 minutes to understand, her eyes wide open as she looked at Lin Xueyue in disbelief.
"Don't misunderstanding, although I let you call me by my name, it doesn't mean I will accept you." Lin Xueyue said plainly.
Meng Xin nodded her head, "I understand. Thank you." She answered along with a smiling face.
Lin Xueyue gave a small nod in reply and stood up, "Tianyun has something to tell you. I'll be going out first." Following that, she walked out of the room.
Shen Tianyun took a deep breath, he tightened his grip on Meng Xin's hand and said calmly, "Xin'er, I have something important to tell you. I know this maybe not the right time to say it but I think it would be better for you to know it as soon as possible." He paused for a moment and stared straight into Meng Xin's eyes before he said further, "Xin'er, the bullet has pierced through your uterus and destroyed a large part of it. Which means you can't have a child for the rest of your life."
When she heard this, it was as if a thunderclap sounded in her ears. Meng Xin's mouth was agape with incredulity. It took her another 5 minutes before she took a deep breath and smiled back at Shen Tianyun.
"I understand." She said calmly.
"Are you okay?" Shen Tianyun knew that he should not ask this stupid question but he still asked it in concern.
Meng Xin smiled mischievously and said in an incomparably seductive voice, "Isn't it good for you, my man? You can let it out in my body as much as you want without worrying about getting me pregnant."
Shen Tianyun felt a strong goosebumps, his blood started to boil when he heard this. He grinned, "You fox spirit! You don't know what you have said. Are you sure about it? You know, I can do it all night without rest." He boasted, trying to scare her.
Meng Xin naturally did not faze by this, she licked her slight dry lips in a charming way, "Go ahead, I can do it all day all night." She shot a flirtatious glance at him.
Seeing this girl did not scare at all, Shen Tianyun chuckled, he caresses her face gently, "Then you have to rest more okay? When you are fully recovered, we can do it all day all night as you said." His voice was very gentle.
Meng Xin nodded her head slightly as she closed her eyes, enjoyed a caress from her beloved.
Creak!
Amidst of a warm atmosphere, suddenly, a door opened strongly. Shen Tianyun quickly turned to look at the door instinctively and saw a middle-aged man in a fully dressed police uniform. He remembered that this man was no other than Bureau Chief Ding Han.
Ding Han did not greet Shen Tianyun, he immediately showed an arrest warrant to him as he said loudly, "Shen Tianyun, you have been arrested as a murder suspect. Come with me to the police station." Following that, he immediately pulled out a handcuff and walked towards Shen Tianyun. The latter did not resist, he reached both of his hand out for Ding Han to cuffed it.
Shen Tianyun looked at the anxious Meng Xin, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Be obediently and get some rest, okay?"
Seeing his confident smile, Meng Xin's expression loosen a bit. She gave a small nod back to him.
When Shen Tianyun walked out of the room, he saw Han Sheng and Lin Xueyue stood on the side, he quickly said to Han Sheng, "Do your job. Don't fail again."
When he saw Han Sheng nodded solemnly in reply, Shen Tianyun turned to Lin Xueyue as he said, "Yue'er."
Without saying anything further, Lin Xueyue understood what he wanted to say. She took out her phone and called Fang Yulan while she staring at Shen Tianyun who has been brought into a police car.
