Unbridled, Depraved

Chapter 296 I do what I say

On the way Shen Qianhe sent He Shuyi back, the atmosphere in the car was heavy and depressing.

He Shuyi sat in the passenger seat, tears streaming down her face, the tissue in her hand crumpled into a ball.

Shen Qianhe drove while tilting his head to comfort her.

"Sister Shuyi, stop crying. It's not worth it for that kind of person."

He Shuyi shook her head, her voice choking: "Qianhe, you don't understand... I have given so much for him, but he actually... actually treated me like this..."

Shen Qianhe sighed, "Sister Shuyi, I know you are very sad now, but you have to believe that you will be better off if you leave him. He is not worth your tears."

He Shuyi raised her head and looked at Shen Qianhe with tears in her eyes: "But...what should I do? All these years, my life has revolved around him, and now suddenly I have nothing..."

"Sister Shuyi, you still have yourself. You are a smart, independent woman who doesn't need to depend on anyone. Lai Kang's betrayal was his fault, not yours. You have to live for yourself."

"Live for yourself once..."

He Shuyi murmured this sentence again and again, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

She turned her head to look at the scene outside the car window, her eyes empty and confused.

This winter is exceptionally cold, and the bleakness of early winter makes the whole city look particularly desolate.

The trees on the roadside had long lost their green leaves, leaving only bare branches, trembling slightly in the cold wind.

This scene is exactly the same as her current mood and situation.

Cold, lonely and lifeless.

Shen Qianhe glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

In fact, she could have chosen a gentler approach.

However, time waits for no one, Lai Kang's election is imminent, and she must achieve her goal as quickly as possible.

There was silence in the car for a moment, and Shen Qianhe finally spoke again, "Sister Shuyi, actually... I deliberately let you see what happened today. I'm sorry."

He Shuyi was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned her head with some surprise in her eyes.

Her lips opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but her throat was blocked by some emotion, and she finally squeezed out a broken sentence: "You... have known that he cheated on you for a long time, right?"

"Ah."

Shen Qianhe parked the car on the side of the road, took a deep breath, and opened his heart to He Shuyi.

"I'm sure you've heard my story. My ex-fiancé, Ye Xiang'an, also had an affair with my stepsister on the eve of our engagement."

There was no anger or sadness in her tone, only a hint of relief. "So, I hate men who are unfaithful to their marriages."

She paused, her eyes falling on He Shuyi's face, "I got along well with you at the last cocktail party, so I didn't want you to continue to be deceived by a scumbag. I'm sorry for not telling you in advance."

Tears flashed in He Shuyi's eyes, but she quickly lowered her head and blinked hard to force the tears back.

"No, not only do I not blame you, I also want to thank you for letting me know the truth earlier. All these years, I always thought that he ignored me just because he was busy with work, but I didn't expect...he actually betrayed me."

Seeing that He Shuyi did not blame him, Shen Qianhe's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued to test: "Actually, the reason why I let you see these today is that I want to confirm something with you."

He Shuyi wiped her tears and said in a hoarse voice: "What's the matter?"

"Sister Shuyi, do you still remember the kidnapping case that year?"

When the kidnapping case was mentioned, Ho Shuk-yee visibly flinched.

During those days, she went through the most terrifying moment of her life, and it has become a shadow in her life.

"That matter...I don't want to mention it again."

Seeing this, Shen Qianhe did not continue to ask questions, but changed the way he asked, "Sister Shuyi, after all these years, don't you have any doubts about Inspector Lai?"

He Shuyi is a smart person. Even though she had just witnessed her husband's betrayal with her own eyes, she quickly understood what Shen Qianhe meant.

"Chizuru, if you have something to say, just say it."

Shen Qianhe pondered for a moment and told He Shuyi about Lele's case that year.

This incident caused a lot of uproar at the time. Because the Shen family lived close to the He family, He Shuyi also heard about it.

There were rumors at the time that Lin Rou had forced the child to death, but in the end, the case was dropped due to lack of evidence.

After listening to this, He Shuyi's eyes flashed with shock and disbelief, "You mean... Lai Kang might also be involved in this?"

"Yes, not only Lele's case, we suspect that even your kidnapping case... may be related to them."

He Shuyi's face turned pale in an instant, her lips trembled and she couldn't speak.

After a long while, he asked, "Qianhe, do you have any evidence?"

"We are still collecting evidence, but we have already got some clues. Sister Shuyi, if you are willing to help, maybe we can uncover the truth of that year."

"..."

After seeing He Shuyi off, Shen Qianhe did not go back directly, but went to the Shen family with a few bodyguards.

She knew that what she had said to He Shuyi today might not impress her and ask her to help find the video hidden by Lai Kang.

But if it involves her kidnapping case that year, it may not be the case.

However, even when mentioning kidnapping cases, evidence is required.

Without solid evidence, He Shuyi would not believe it easily, let alone take the risk of helping her.

As soon as she arrived at the Shen family, Shen Qianhe went straight to the point and asked Lin Rou for evidence that Lai Kang and she had conspired to kidnap He Shuyi.

Lin Rou refused to admit it at first until Shen Qianhe mentioned Shen Tianyou.

"Lin Rou, I know you are a smart person. If you don't want your precious son to rot in prison for the rest of his life, just hand the things over to me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Rou's expression was somewhat moved.

Shen Tianyou has been a playboy since he was young. Relying on the power and wealth of the Shen family, he lives a life of extravagance.

His body was weak to begin with, and he had been addicted to alcohol and sex for many years, which had drained his financial resources.

In addition, one of his eyes was blinded by someone in prison some time ago, and the injury has not yet healed, making him extremely weak.

Prison is a dark, damp, and poor environment, which is unbearable even for healthy people, let alone a spoiled young man like Shen Tianyou.

His body simply couldn't bear that kind of torture. If he stayed any longer, he might even lose his life.

Lin Rou felt heartbroken when she thought of her son suffering in that place.

She knew that Shen Tianyou was her life, and she couldn't just watch him rot to death in prison.

"I'll give you ten minutes to think about it. If you promise to give me the things, I'll let Shen Tianyou get medical treatment on bail. He can recover completely outside before returning."

"Are you serious?"

"I keep my word."
