Chapter 775 - Story of the Past (6)

“Uncle Qiu, thank you in advance for taking care of my grandpa.” Shen Yanxiao was afraid to stand too close to Shen Qiu, as the scent of blood on her was too heavy. She did not wish to pollute Shen Qiu’s nose with her filthy smell.

Shen Qiu could not help but chuckle when he noticed her deliberately distancing herself.

“I am a doctor so I have seen many deaths and blood in my life. You don’t have to avoid me. Besides, I have already picked up on the scent of blood when I first came into the backyard.”

Shen Yanxiao scratched her head embarrassingly. She felt it was nice talking to Shen Qiu who was like another grandpa to her.

“Don’t think too much about it. Life and death are destined to happen in nature. When someone does things exceeding what is proper for the sake of profits, they must pay the corresponding price for it. I have witnessed what Shen Duan, Shen Yifeng, and Shen Yue did to your grandpa. Therefore, don’t let this bother you. It is just that at the end of the day, they were still your grandpa’s son and grandson. As someone who cares a lot about his family, it is naturally that his heart is still in wrenching pain.” Shen Qiu comforted her.

“I understand. But they cannot be left alive.” Shen Yanxiao knew that if she were to try to execute them when Shen Feng was there, he would definitely beg for mercy for them like any caring father would. However, removing the source of the trouble was to ensure that no more mess like this would happen in the future. She was confident that people like Shen Duan and Shen Yue would not turn over a new leaf just because she forgave them.

Once they saw any chance to claim the Family Head position, they would continue with their untoward conspiracies behind everyone’s back.

In her mind, people must either suffer in silence or be cruel.

To be merciful to enemies was to be cruel to oneself.

Shen Yanxiao would not allow herself to do something so stupid. To set free a tiger back to the mountains was to set off an endless flow of disastrous aftermath.

“Sweet girl, I understand that this is tough for you.” Shen Qiu rubbed her head affectionately. In his mind, he sighed deeply, as he was just a doctor at the end of the day. When the Vermilion Bird Family was in distress, there was nothing he could do. But everything had returned to normal now, so he could finally rest his mind.

Shen Yanxiao thought of something. “Uncle Qiu, you have been staying beside my grandpa for years, right?”

“Yes, I knew him before he became the Family Head. My father was once a backbone of the Vermilion Bird Family, and I practically grew up here with your grandpa.” Shen Qiu did not feel that it was strange that Shen Yanxiao would ask such questions. He just thought she was curious.

Shen Yanxiao smiled and asked another question. “Since you have been with my grandpa for so long, I want to ask a question.”

“Do ask.”

“Here is what I want to ask: when I was sent back to the Vermilion Bird Family, did you see who that person was? What did he look like? He saved my life and I wanted to thank him for that. I meant to ask my grandpa but he is in a bad mood now. I don’t want to trouble him this late at night.” Shen Qiu was Shen Feng’s doctor and so, Shen Feng would take Shen Qiu almost everywhere with him. Shen Yanxiao guessed that Shen Qiu had seen that mysterious man.

“About that…” Shen Qiu was in a pickle. He was hesitant.

“I don’t think you need to thank him. Your grandpa already did that when he sent you back.” Shen Qiu was avoiding Shen Yanxiao’s eyes. He did not wish to continue this subject with her.

However, Shen Yanxiao could already tell that Shen Qiu must have met that person, but for some reason, he could not tell her.

Shen Feng had never mentioned the person that sent her back before, and he didn’t plan on explaining it, either.

Answering the question also seemed to be difficult for Shen Qiu.

Who was the person that sent her back to the Vermilion Bird Family?
