Chapter 164: Chapter 164 Temporarily Must Stay Alive!_1

Shangguan Yunqi should have hung up immediately, for she needed to calm down even further.

But there was no sound on the other end of the line, and she really didn’t dare hang up. Hatred and fear were brewing inside her. She took several deep breaths before asking, "What do you mean?"

Song Yunuan, "No particular meaning, just thinking about a safe place to meet."

Shangguan Yunqi, "I won’t do anything to you, murderers have to pay with their lives."

Song Yunuan chuckled, "I’m afraid you’ll be beaten to death!"

Shangguan Yunqi: ...

A breath stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.

"So, to ensure your safety, let’s meet at the entrance of the police station."

Shangguan Yunqi sneered. That wretched girl was worried about herself, wasn’t she?

Otherwise, why would she choose to meet at this place?

Finally, she regained a bit of courage.

Shangguan Yunqi and Song Yunuan set a time.

After Song Yunuan agreed on the other side, she finally hung up the phone.

From the receiver came a sharp, bloodcurdling beeping noise.

It was only then that Shangguan Yunqi realized she was drenched in sweat.

She collapsed to the ground.

Setting aside the detestable side of Song Yunuan, she also wondered, how could Zhu Feng, that worthless and vile woman, have such a demon-like granddaughter?

Even if someone was instructing her from behind the scenes, the composure and bravery were not ordinary.

What mattered most now was, how did she find out?

And she knew so much detail, details that made her heart start racing again.

She had actually forgotten the exact date, but she knew it was in 1950.

How on earth did that wretched Song Yunuan find out?

Remembering something, Shangguan Yunqi’s expression turned cold. She propped herself up on the floor with her hands, gritting her teeth as she rose to make another call. This time it was an international long-distance call to her older brother in Xiangjiang.

Shangguan Yunqi said bitterly, "Big Brother, someone knows about the incident from 1950 and is threatening me. What’s become of that bastard now?"

Shangguan Heng frowned, then replied dismissively, "So what if they know? If you deny it, that’ll be the end of it."

"It’s easy for you to say. She wants to call my unit and Bo Wen, and also write letters of accusation. Even without evidence, you know how much it would affect me in my position?"

"That’s true, many people like to make mountains out of molehills." Shangguan Heng then asked, "What does the other party want?"

"She wants that bastard to come back safely."

"He’s barely breathing now, he can’t come back." Shangguan Heng let out a sinister laugh, "Yunqi, how come your courage is getting smaller and smaller? Where’s the boldness from your youth? If someone knows, just kill them and be done with it."

He then emphasized, "Basically, it’s as good as dead without proof. Why the panic?"

Shangguan Yunqi was about to break down and yelled, "What are you talking about, this and that? Can you even compare over there with here? Over there, a mere hundred ** can buy a life. Try that here, will you?

The same letter of accusation is just a piece of trash over there, but here, as long as there’s evidence, everyone takes it seriously from top to bottom.

And there are specialized petition departments, and related agencies. If it were just me, Shangguan Yunqi, I would go over now and kill that little demon.

But can I? Do I dare?

Shangguan Heng, don’t think just because you’re in Xiangjiang you can grow wings and fly around as you please. Would the Shangguan family or the Xia family be where they are today without me?

You really have no idea how painful this situation is for me. I have so many vulnerabilities; do you think I dare take the risk?

I have a bunch of kids, grandkids, great-grandkids now. Which one can I afford to gamble with?

"If I were really stained with blood on my hands, my eldest son would be taken down immediately."

"You dream of having a convict’s descendant work in a government department?"

On the other side, Shangguan Heng was not very pleased, but his sister’s words were indeed true.

He could only try to calm her with gentle advice, "Don’t be so agitated, you’re sixty years old, watch your blood pressure, you..."

Before he could finish, Shangguan Yunqi, fueled by emotion, cut him off, "Don’t talk to me about blood pressure, I’m fine right now, just tell me, how is that bastard doing now? Is he still alive?"

"Calm down first. Do you really want to let him out? Xia Xindong has an extraordinary memory, he might even remember things from when he was two years old, let alone five. He could spill everything that happened that year when he was five."

If it had been earlier, Shangguan Yunqi would indeed have been very cautious.

But now that Song Yunuan knew everything, there was nothing left to hide.

"I think it’s better to just kill him. Ever since he turned twenty, he has been uncooperative at the underground experimental facility."

Shangguan Heng coldly said.

Shangguan Yunqi asked, "Do you know who threatened me?"

"Who?"

"Song Yunuan, the granddaughter of that old bitch Zhu Feng, the daughter of Xia Guilan."

Shangguan Heng was taken aback for a moment, "How did she find out?" He quickly followed up with another question, "If she knows, does Zhu Feng not know?"

"I’m not clear on that. I’ll take the train to Nanshan County Town this afternoon, and I want to ask her face-to-face for clarification."

"You should take people with you. The men I’ve arranged for you can be deployed now."

"After meeting her, I’ll probe the truth. Don’t act rashly. If you really kill her, you might fall into someone else’s trap."

At this time, Shangguan Yunqi regretted ever showing up before Xia Xindong, otherwise, she wouldn’t be in such a passive position.

But back then, out of jealousy, she had wanted to see what the genius that Third Child Xia spoke of looked like.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be caught in such a predicament.

"Do you mean Zhu Feng is using her own granddaughter as bait?"

"Who knows?" Shangguan Yunqi replied impatiently, "How is that bastard doing now?"

"He’s alive. If that kid were cooperative, the Shangguan family could become the richest in the world, could even buy a country. It’s just a pity he won’t cooperate."

"Let him live, he must stay alive for now!"

After giving her instructions, Shangguan Yunqi hung up the phone.

Shangguan Heng thought for a moment and then headed to an underground laboratory.

It wasn’t just the Shangguan family’s; it was a joint venture by the Three Great Families of Xiangjiang.

The project was led by an overseas financial tycoon family.

The location was chosen in Xiangjiang.

Because of the unique situation here, it was the most appropriate experimental site.

Shangguan Heng saw Xia Xindong in a confined room, his hands and feet shackled with chains.

Xia Xindong lay spread-eagled on the bed, unresponsive even when he entered.

With a slender physique and handsome features, he was extremely pale and emaciated, his lips devoid of any color, but his eyes were dark and deep.

His expression was calm, without the slightest ripple.

The guard reported that he had refused to eat in the past few days and was now on nutrient injections.

Impatience flickered in Shangguan Heng’s eyes. Stubborn fool, dead might as well be dead. Throw him into the sea, and who would know?

But his sister was being threatened!
