A Substitute Bride With Multiple Identities
Chapter 457: Is He Really Dead?

Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Is He Really Dead?

In less than a day’s time, the main hideout of the Immortal organization was thoroughly destroyed by agents from 094 and the Net.

Yi Fang captured Gu Yingxi and others at another emergency exit, along with He Wenna who had fled with important documents, and some of the main personnel involved in the scientific research, and extradited them back to the country.

The chief of the Immortal organization, as well as the mastermind behind the human experiments, Fu Weizhi, was supposed to be extradited back to the country as well, to be put on trial at the International Court of Daxia.

Unfortunately, his body was too weak, and he received a great shock, succumbing before he could be transported.

An important participant in the human experiments, Shen Zhong, still lay in a coma on the bed, temporarily unable to be extradited back for trial.

The trials for the remaining main scientific staff had to proceed first.

Those who had been involved in human experiments the longest and had the most blood on their hands were sentenced to death and the sentence was carried out immediately.

Others, newly coerced by Fu Weizhi, who had not yet shed blood, were sentenced to more than ten years of fixed-term imprisonment.

Once released after ten years, they would face a lifetime of surveillance.

He Wenna, using crucial data from human experiments conducted by Dr. D, pleaded for leniency and after trial, was ultimately sentenced to ten years of fixed-term imprisonment.

After this atrocious incident was exposed, it caused an international uproar; everyone despised the Immortal organization and loathed its leader, Fu Weizhi, even more.

A few extremists stirred up an online opinion against FY Group, but this was dealt with by San Fang and Si Fang in the country.

To prevent such harmful experiments from happening again, the Daxia nation established a cleanup team and secretly cooperated with various countries.

They conducted a large-scale purge of unscrupulous scientists.

Within just a month, they not only eradicated several illegal and criminal laboratories but also struck many underground human organ markets, rescuing countless persecuted people from various countries.

During this month, Shen Yanhe’s injuries had also significantly healed.

Now she was sitting obediently and cleverly on the hospital bed, being ’judged’ by her senior fellow disciple.

Xie Jiangzhi held a fruit knife in his hand, skilfully peeling the skin, and spoke slowly, "Little junior sister, how come you got married and had a child without even telling your senior brother?"

"What? Do you think your third senior brother can’t afford a present?"

Shen Yanhe’s scalp tingled, and she turned to Xie Jiangzhi with a placating smile on her delicate and pale face.

She said with righteous indignation, "Third senior brother, how could you think that? Am I that kind of person in your eyes?"

"Third senior brother is the most outstanding among our siblings! Handsome and successful! I am proud to be your junior sister!"

Xie Jiangzhi’s eyebrows twitched slightly, his expression unchanged, "Is that so?"

"Absolutely!" Shen Yanhe chuckled, stretching out her hand to carefully grab his collar, "As the saying goes, the powerful always show up last!"

"Third senior brother went to Country D to collect endangered medicinal materials, as your junior, of course, I couldn’t bother you with such trivial news!"

Xie Jiangzhi looked at Shen Yanhe’s cunning and cheeky demeanor and snorted lightly, "I’ll let it slide this time."

He cut the apple in his hand into two halves and handed it to Shen Yanhe, "Eat this."

Shen Yanhe cautiously glanced at him, and seeing that his expression hadn’t changed, she relaxed a bit and reached out to take a bite of the apple.

The next second, she abruptly heard him ask, "Why didn’t you involve me in the take-down of the Immortal organization? Is it because I’m too weak and don’t deserve to participate?"

Shen Yanhe choked on a piece of apple.

She looked at Xie Jiangzhi, who was about to speak but then stopped.

Xie Jiangzhi looked at her and smiled faintly, making a face that showed he was listening to her explanation.

Just as Xiang Ling’an, who had come to visit Shen Yanhe, heard his question, he somewhat speechlessly patted his shoulder, "Alright, alright, Xie Jiangzhi, stop teasing your junior sister."

"Why aren’t you looking for you, don’t you have a clue in your heart?"

Xiang Ling’an put the supplements he brought in the cupboard, and rolled his eyes at Xie Jiangzhi, "You get lost in the forest for half a year once you enter, trying to contact you is harder than reaching the heavens."

Xie Jiangzhi pushed his glasses up, his smile gentle, indeed looking like a gentle and refined gentleman, "Isn’t it said in books that pregnant women should keep their spirits joyful? I’m just teasing my junior sister to make her happy, am I not?"

Shen Yanhe: "..."

Her expression was hard to describe as she crunched on her apple.

She felt that.

If her third senior brother didn’t tease her, her mood would be a bit more cheerful.

Xiang Ling’an also curled his lip, glanced around, and asked, "Where’s Fu Yanhe? Isn’t he usually holed up in your room around this time?"

"Something came up with Luo Wang and FY Corporation." Shen Yanhe mumbled through the apple in her mouth, "I had him go back to handle it."

Shen Yanhe asked, "Senior brother, the wounds on my body are almost healed, when can I be discharged from the hospital?"

A month ago, after she had the operation to remove the bullet, it was discovered that the fetus was at risk of preterm labor, so she started to stay in the hospital to recuperate and save her pregnancy.

Having lain in bed for a month, her wounds had almost healed, and the pregnancy was completely stable. She was getting restless.

"Tomorrow, you can be discharged tomorrow," Xiang Ling’an said.

Lastly, as if he thought of something, his eyes became somewhat complex as he looked at Shen Yanhe, hesitatingly asked, "By the way, the man lying unconscious on the hospital bed, named Shen Zhong, is he..."

Shen Yanhe’s complexion faded slightly, she calmly said, "He’s my dad."

Xiang Ling’an paused for a moment, murmured softly, "It really is..."

He had known before that Shen Yanhe had a missing father and had seen their family of four in a family portrait.

But in the family portrait, Shen Zhong was young and handsome, a spirited young man.

The Shen Zhong now lying on the bed had pale features, his temples completely white, eyes lined with wrinkles, his body emaciated, nothing like the spirited man in the family portrait.

If it weren’t for his facial features still bearing some resemblance to his earlier self, Xiang Ling’an wouldn’t have recognized him at first glance.

Shen Yanhe pursed her lips and in a low voice recounted how Fu Weizhi coerced Shen Zhong into working with him and how he had troubled the Shen Family over the years.

Xiang Ling’an listened with fury rising in his heart, his fists clenched, his expression dark, "No wonder every time you go out to work part-time, although you perform well, you still get terminated."

"So it was that old guy causing trouble behind the scenes!"

The gentle smile on Xie Jiangzhi’s face also faded slightly, he toyed with the fruit knife, and asked in a light voice, "Where is this Fu Weizhi right now?"

"Dead." Xiang Ling’an frowned and said irritably, "His health was poor, and during the ambush, he took a couple of punches and suffered a huge blow, and he died before he could catch his breath."

"It really TM let him off easy, dying so cleanly and painlessly."

"I don’t believe that the leader of the immortal organization would die so easily." Xie Jiangzhi smiled and stood up, "Senior brother, take me to see his body."
