192: Chapter 191: Turn Against Each Other
“From the mont I t you, I knew your mouth was cheap and poor,” Shen Yan said with a laugh.
“I’m like this, and you still can’t offer a few words of comfort?
Aren’t you afraid that after I die, I’ll turn into a ghost and haunt your dreams at night?”
“Hey, don’t talk about scary things like that,” Song Yun said as he lit a cigarette seriously.
“If you really die today, I’d imdiately take my companion and flee back to Sunan, then I’d find dozens of mages to hold several rites for
day and night.” “Why did you seek
out?”
“…” Shen Yan didn’t speak, just stared blankly at the ceiling.
“You don’t want to say?
How the hell am I supposed to know what you’re involved in if you don’t tell ?” Song Yun said frustratedly.
“You didn’t call
over in the middle of the night just to watch you in your last monts, did you?”
“Ah, knowing about this matter wouldn’t be good for you,” Shen Yan sighed.
“Is there a way you can heal ?
I’m not talking about getting out of bed and moving around overnight, just saving my life would be enough.”
“There is a way, but why should I help you?” Song Yun asked indifferently.
“I don’t believe that a few hours of friendship should make
risk it all to save your life.”
“What do you want?”
“I want to know the truth of the matter.
I’m a very curious person.
If you don’t tell , who knows, I might accidentally stitch you up with a couple of stitches less, or my hand might slip and cause a major bleed,” Song Yun said as he stubbed out his cigarette.
“What exactly happened to make you end up like this?”
“Let
warn you,” Shen Yan said.
“If you know, then it’s not just a simple matter of treatnt anymore, you might even get entangled by so people.”
“Start talking, if there’s anything not in my favor, I’ll stop you,” Song Yun said with a smile, thinking to himself that Shen Yan was truly no ordinary person.
The wounds on his body looked like knife wounds, and anyone who could withstand more than a dozen cuts and not die was definitely tough.
If it wouldn’t lead to a major issue, why not help him?
“Give
a cigarette,” Shen Yan said, reaching out with a trembling hand.
After Song Yun lit the cigarette for him, he sat quietly.
Shen Yan took a couple of puffs to calm his nerves and said, “I was born into a major family, one that is completely different from the comrcial or political families outside.
I am the second male of the third generation in the main line.
I have an older brother and two older sisters.
As the youngest, everyone in the family doted on , even my father, who normally has a cold face, was warm to .”
“But as ti went by, I started to notice sothing was off.
Even though everyone doted on , there was one person who saw
as a thorn in his eye, and that was my older brother,” Shen Yan paused for a mont, and after hurriedly finishing the rest of his half cigarette, he continued, “My brother is seven or eight years older than , the legitimate eldest son.
Unless sothing unexpected happens, he would definitely be the next clan leader, the navigator of our huge family.
My arrival made him feel threatened, yes, threatened.”
“From a young age, he started setting traps for , trying to outdo
in both martial arts and administration.
When I was young, I didn’t have such concepts, knowing only that my brother was unkind to , and I knew it was because my appearance had drawn all the affection that used to be on him, so I did feel guilty towards him.”
“When I was little, I could only do things that a child could do to retaliate, such as putting caterpillars in my shirt collar, using glue to stick my books together, or bullying
when no one was around.
But I endured all of these things and didn’t tell my parents.
As I grew older, I found my brother’s thods becoming more severe, changing from soone who verbally attacked
to soone who began to act.”
“I rember when I was fifteen and traveling, I was attacked once, and it almost cost
my life.
If it weren’t for the butler risking his life to protect , you wouldn’t even know I exist in this world today, haha.
Even so, I still have a scar on my back.
Do you know how I got this scar?
At that ti, our car exploded, the butler used his body to block the bullets that were ant to kill , and I used the butler’s body as a shield, curling up like a ball in a recessed part of the car.
Because the car was burning, the whole tal plate felt like a furnace, and I bit my teeth and didn’t make a sound while being burned for more than ten minutes.”
“Later, my family’s people ca and saw that I was alive and quickly began to rescue .
I don’t know if I was just lucky or what, but King Yama didn’t take .
Haha, since then, I’ve known about the dangers of the outside world, and I also understand why my brother gradually beca soone who wanted to kill his own younger brother.
But what could I do?
I am a concubine-born son; in terms of status and power, I couldn’t compare to my brother, the legitimate eldest son.
I wanted to seek revenge but failed every ti.
Back then, every ti I closed my eyes, I would see the butler’s charred face appear before .”
“Because I lacked the strength, I chose to escape.
I was thinking if I went away, maybe my brother wouldn’t continue trying to kill .
I was right; during the years I was studying abroad, my brother indeed didn’t lay a hand on .
He was busy expanding his own power and didn’t have the ti to deal with , so I gradually let my guard down.
Until that ti I brought my girlfriend ho for the New Year.
Haha, do you know what I saw later?
I saw my girlfriend lying on my own brother’s bed.”
“Later, my father found out about this, and my brother was whipped thirty tis as a clan punishnt.
And so, the matter was considered settled, and my girlfriend also ended up with my brother.
I told you about what happened later at the airport,” Shen Yan said with a gloomy expression.
“But what I didn’t expect was that he still hadn’t given up.
He actually sent an assassin to track , and if I hadn’t reacted quickly and snapped the assassin’s neck, I probably would have died already.”
“So everything that happened today was all your brother’s doing?” Song Yun asked after a mont of silence.
“Yes, if you’re afraid of my brother’s retaliation, you can leave now.
I won’t complain at all,” Shen Yan said.
“But if you can save my wretched life, I’ll have a chance to return to the clan and properly confront that bastard.
I don’t want my life to be in soone else’s hands; it feels like being a pig, a pig that could be slaughtered by its master at any ti.”
“Okay,” Song Yun nodded, pondering for a mont before smiling.
“Now that I’ve roughly understood the situation, shall we start the treatnt?”
“You’re really not leaving?” Shen Yan was stunned.
“You don’t know how large my family is.
If you treat
and know so much, if my brother finds out, he’ll definitely do everything to hunt you down.”
