Chapter 348: Chapter 348 Thank You for Your Indifference

Song Yunuan seemed to know what he was thinking.

Her eyes blinked as she whispered to Xia Bowen, "Old Master, we won’t be fooled. In fact, I should thank you for your indifference towards my mom and my uncle.

If you had truly cared, I might not even be here now, given Shangguan Yunqi’s cruelty and ruthlessness—he really dares to kill."

Xia Bowen furrowed his brows.

Was he comforted?

It didn’t seem like it.

But Little Nuan really hadn’t gotten it wrong.

Shangguan Heng looked up at the smiling Song Yunuan.

Suddenly, he asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Song Yunuan’s eyes sparkled, "I am Song Yunuan, the ’Song’ of Song Yunuan, the ’Yu’ of Yunuan, and the ’Nuan’ of Yunuan."

Shangguan Heng only wanted to ask, so how could he possibly get an answer?

Exerting great effort, he managed to get up from the ground.

He had never been this embarrassed in his life.

He finally steadied himself by leaning on the back of a chair.

Feeling his body, he realized his back was already covered in a layer of cold sweat.

He didn’t mind letting these people see him in disarray.

The more disheveled he was, the more Xia Xindong and the others were probably satisfied and felt much more at ease.

Wiping his face, he said, "Is there anything else? If not, I need to go deal with that mess at the night club."

Xia Bowen glanced at Xia Xindong and Song Yunuan standing beside him, then told Shangguan Heng, "Nothing for the moment, but there’s a saying that goes well. Heaven’s madness brings disaster, human arrogance brings misfortune. If you had even a smidgen of kindness, we wouldn’t have come to this point.

I don’t care about many people. I still have enemies today, with two of them in Xiangjiang. Why don’t you say you should take them out for me?"

What Xia Bowen owed Xia Xindong and the others, he didn’t owe Shangguan Heng.

Why should Shangguan Heng be used as an excuse?

On the other side, Xia Xindong picked up the suitcase, and Xia Bowen and Song Yunuan left the conference room without looking back at Shangguan Heng.

Shangguan Heng fell back into the chair, his hands tightly gripping the wooden handles of the chair back.

He was really gnashing his teeth.

His eyes were filled with resentment and dark shadows.

Things had come to this point—it was either you die or I live.

He had to think about how to kill these people.

Yet, at the same time, panic also started to stir within him.

The thing Xia Xindong had him eat earlier would only activate after reacting with a specific food.

What could that food be?

He didn’t want to die.

There was still a treasure trove of ancient antiques and jewels valuable beyond compare in this land.

Past policies had made it impossible for him to move an inch.

Now it seemed to be opening up.

Should he extend his travel permit for a while longer?

Then he shook his head.

He couldn’t do that.

He was worried Song Yunuan would disrupt his plans.

Wait another half a year.

By then, Xia Xindong had already carried the suitcase out of the guesthouse.

They had come by bus.

The three of them stood by the roadside waiting for the bus.

Song Yunuan asked when the next bus would arrive—it would be another half hour.

Then she went to the shade of the trees by the roadside.

Opening the suitcase, she first asked Xia Xindong, "That person who just left... Does he affect you in any way?"

Xia Xindong actually smiled, "No impact, he’s afraid of you."

He spoke without avoiding Xia Bowen.

At this moment, however, Xia Bowen was looking in the direction of the guesthouse, his brow furrowed as if deep in thought.

Suddenly, he remembered the past.

Although the Shangguan family was a prestigious clan, according to ancient customs, this brother and sister were born to a concubine and their status in the family was not favorable.

Later on, Shangguan Yunqi met him.

Back then, he was young and restless, believing that he needed to find a like-minded partner, so he fell for the beautiful and generous Shangguan Yunqi, who was skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

After they entered the city, with his help, Shangguan Heng became the principal steward of the Shangguan family.

I remember there were quite a few descendants of the Shangguan family, but later on, only the Shangguan siblings resided in that large mansion.

He had investigated and found out that the legitimate eldest son had squandered much of the family wealth on opium.

This was indeed a fact.

When privatization followed, he stepped in to have Shangguan Heng oversee the transportation between Beidu and Xiangjiang.

The family wealth and the mansion were gradually disposed of by Shangguan Heng.

After that, he settled down in Xiangjiang.

He did not know how much wealth Shangguan Heng had at present, but to casually pull out a million, it must have been but a drop in the bucket for him.

Shangguan Heng had insisted on going to Xiangjiang at the time.

He thought that was fine, too, seeing as it provided an additional way out.

Furthermore, the organization above had permitted it, even expecting Shangguan Heng to handle some information and material transfers there.

Shangguan Heng had indeed accomplished that.

He did not benefit from this matter, but Shangguan Heng had accumulated a vast fortune.

And back then, he had his support, which helped him secure a stable foothold.

The mansion had been sold, leaving behind only some trivial belongings.

Some indeed belonged to Shangguan Yunqi, which he did not touch; he gave Xia Xindong items that were either rewards he received through official channels or purchased collectibles.

If there was nothing left in Beidu, why did Shangguan Heng leave people there?

Shangguan Wan was his daughter, and even after relations between the two families soured to this extent, Shangguan Heng dared to leave his daughter in his house.

Could there still be something he hadn’t taken?

But that did not seem right either, for at the time, it was extremely convenient for him to take away anything that belonged to the Shangguan family under his rightful claim.

Even when he wanted to donate a portion, the siblings disagreed, and he no longer persuaded them.

But now, it seemed fishy.

When he returned, he really needed to investigate thoroughly.

At this moment, Song Yunuan glanced at Xia Bowen, guessing that he must be pondering Shangguan Heng’s motives.

But she did not ask; instead, she watched Little Nuan intently for a long while.

Xia Xindong gave her a helpless smile, "It’s me, not him."

Song Yunuan, "We still need to think of a way to blend in, otherwise Little Nuan, how will you find me an auntie?"

Xia Xindong, feeling embarrassed, pretended to scold, "Disrespectful child, you dare say anything."

Song Yunuan pointed to the box, "Do you want to watch these videotapes, or shall I just destroy them now?"

Xia Xindong did not hesitate; there was nothing worth watching.

Just destroy them, that was all.

Even if worried, there was no way around it.

Ultimately, what mattered was to make oneself strong enough that nobody would dare to have ill intentions.

Xia Xindong thought destroying them meant finding a place to smash the videotapes and burning the tape inside.

Little did he expect Song Yunuan to look around and call out to Xia Bowen, who was still deep in thought.

"Let me show you my strength," said Song Yunuan proudly.

And so, the three of them crouched down under the shade of a tree by the wall.

Xia Bowen once again witnessed the bizarre strength of Song Yunuan.

Those delicate little hands were fair and soft, with nails tinted a faint pink.

The hands were incredibly beautiful.

Like tender green jade, that might be one way to describe them.

It was these small hands that crushed the videotapes into dust.

That’s right, both the outer casings and the tapes inside turned to dust.

Conveniently, there was a trash can by the road, and Song Yunuan dumped the dust into the trash can.

Making the cardboard box immaculate.

She told Xia Bowen, "Take it back for my dad, let him use it to store things."
