Chapter 243 Let Me Help You
As long as Shen Manzhi deliberately hooked him, he would consciously allow himself to she never gave him any sense of security in this relationship.
So no matter whether it was Si Qi or Qin Juan, those words that might not sound harmful in any real way pierced his heart like needles, causing him to feel a dull pain whenever he thought of them.
But this was the person he had managed to keep by his side. If he cared too much about her and was too forceful, he would push her away. He had no choice but to pretend that he didn't care and force himself not to think about it.
In fact, he was almost going crazy with jealousy.
Baihu ran out hurriedly from somewhere, and stopped when he saw the two people hugging each other. He waved at Shen Manzhi eagerly, indicating that she should check the messages on her mobile phone.
Shen Manzhi just glanced at him indifferently.
It was Qin Yanfeng who let her go first and whispered, "Go and get busy."
Shen Manzhi raised his eyes, "Where are you going?"
"back office."
Shen Manzhi always felt that he was in a bad mood, but he didn't say anything.
Baihu was calling her ancestors over there, looking very anxious.
Qin Yanfeng took a half step back and said, "Go ahead."
Shen Manzhi turned and walked towards Baihu.
"The knife was poisoned, Du Heping refused to let anyone treat the wound and even said he wanted to commit suicide."
He was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt the footsteps around him stop.
Shen Manzhi looked back and saw Qin Yanfeng had already walked to the side of the road, opened the car door and got in sideways. The sunlight just happened to shine on his drooping eyelashes.
"Then knock him out and deal with it later. Do you still need me to teach you something like this?"
"."
Baihu was stunned, and the person who said this had already walked towards the black Bentley on the side of the road.
He frowned, wondering why he was so fierce.
Qin Yanfeng raised his eyes calmly and told the driver to go back to the company. Just as he started the car and was about to lock the door, the door on the other side was opened and a faint rose scent wafted towards him.
He glanced to the side, his pupils slightly dilated.
As soon as Shen Manzhi got in the car, he knelt on the seat with one leg, bent and stretched the other leg and leaned towards him, hooked his neck and brought him close, and kissed him unreasonably.
Qin Yanfeng was a little stunned, but still subconsciously held her waist.
Shen Manzhi withdrew and kissed the corner of his mouth again. He hooked his eyes with lingering eyes and lowered his head to kiss him again.
Qin Yanfeng felt numb all over because of the control, just like the few times she took the initiative in that matter, which made him unable to restrain himself.
The middle partition rose silently.
He really had no way to deal with her and could only gently put his arms around her waist and slowly exchange the initiative.
Shen Manzhi stepped back, lowered his head against him, and looked at him with a slight breath, "You are angry with me."
It's an affirmative sentence.
Qin Yanfeng was aroused and looked down at the deep red kiss mark under her half-open collar, his Adam's apple rolling.
There was a faint light in his eyes. He pinched her slender waist and raised his head to kiss her, but Shen Manzhi refused and continued, "Why do you believe Qin Juan's words?"
Qin Yanfeng leaned back, his nose touching hers, and breathed slowly and steadily.
"Have you ever thought about divorcing me?"
She answered quickly, "No."
Qin Yanfeng fell silent again.
"What did Si Qi say to you again?"
She always felt that something was wrong the day Qin Yanfeng went to Beijing to find her, especially after seeing Si Qi.
He didn't mention it, just looked at her, "You never understood what I really care about."
"I know."
Shen Manzhi put his arms around his neck and whispered, "It was too dangerous to rashly get out of the car and chase after someone just now. I'm sorry for making you worry."
He lowered his eyes, still depressed.
Shen Manzhi hooked out the black rope around his neck, and the translucent and aqua-colored peace locket, "Isn't this for you to pray for me?"
Qin Yanfeng's eyes revealed an unnoticeable pain, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Since the day you came back from Xincheng, you have had more than one wound on your body. I know you have your own things to do, and I have never thought of stopping you, let alone possessing you alone.
But you do this every time, avoiding me every time, not willing to talk to me, and not wanting me to get involved in your affairs..."
He paused for half a second, his long eyelashes stained with mist, and his tone trembled slightly, "I can't turn a blind eye, so many scars, so dangerous... I don't know how to help you..."
Qin Yanfeng's choked words seemed to make Shen Manzhi's heart warm, and the warmth was like tinnitus that made her feel uncomfortable.
She lowered her head and kissed him, then said seriously, "I won't do anything I'm not sure of. There are many people who covet my life. They are attracted by my special physique and want my abilities. There are indeed many dangers around me.
However, I am the only one who can decide whether I live or die. No one can take my life away."
Unless she doesn't want it anymore.
Qin Yanfeng held her hand and said, "Let me help you."
Shen Manzhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he smiled, "I can solve it, you have to believe me."
The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds, Shen Manzhi leaned over to him and kissed his thin lips, "You will always be loyal to me, right?"
Qin Yanfeng's Adam's apple rolled, "Yes." That's enough.
Shen Manzhi curled his lips and whispered, "Go home and wait for me."
Qin Yanfeng pulled her hand, his eyes gentle, reluctant to let her go, but unable to restrain her freedom, "Call me when you're done."
She turned around and smiled, "Okay."
After Shen Manzhi left, the interior of the car returned to silence. The driver lowered the window halfway to listen to instructions, but found that his boss was a little absent-minded.
The boss’s wife came back to coax him just now, so why doesn’t he look much better?
On the other side, Baihu finally waited for Shen Manzhi.
The last time Shen Duanwen went to Du Heping's house to meet him, the latter was disguised as committing suicide by gas leakage by the other party. After Shen Manzhi intervened and "sent" Du Heping to the hospital, Cheng Yaojin showed up and took Du Heping away under Baihu's nose. Since then, they lost track of Du Heping again.
Now that the person has been taken away, he naturally cannot appear in public again. Since he was assassinated in public this time, they will do everything they can to silence him again next time.
Du Heping may have anticipated this, so he simply decided not to hide. It would be better to die than to be targeted by all parties.
I just wanted to wait for death but was stopped again and again. When I woke up again, I was still sitting in a wheelchair, but in a single room. My legs were bandaged and there was still some pain in the back of my neck.
He raised his hand and touched behind him, as if he had been hit.
"Mr. Du, seeking death is not a good idea."
He was stunned and looked towards the source of the sound.
Outside the balcony with white gauze curtains, a person was sitting in a leisurely posture, dangling his legs and swinging.
He couldn't see clearly, but the voice sounded so familiar. It was not until Baihu pulled open the curtains that he could see the man clearly.
"Shen..."
"Shen Manzhi," she signed up, a candy stick between her lips, "Long time no see, Mr. Du."
In Du Heping's memory, the last time they met was in Jiuqing Temple in the capital, where he talked to Shen Manzhi about her mother.
"It was Miss Shen who saved me?"
Shen Manzhi did not answer, her eyes and brows showing no emotion. The setting sun fell on her head, casting an orange-yellow glow.
"Mr. Du, I don't have much time to catch up with you. Do you know which faction the person who came to assassinate you today belongs to?"
Du Heping looked unnatural for a moment, "You...what did you say?"
"You told me your story. Your wife and daughter died in a car accident. You gradually got over it thanks to the care of an old friend. That old friend was Shen Duanwen. He had always been helping you, so it was impossible for him to send someone to harm you."
When the past was mentioned, he was somewhat evasive and overly calm, "What do you want to say?"
Shen Manzhi's expression darkened as he bit the candy in his mouth. "I'm looking into the cause of my mother's death. In the car accident 20 years ago, besides Mr. Du's family, there was another victim whose name was hidden. Is that my mother?"
Du Heping's pupils were slightly startled, and he stammered but didn't say a word.
Shen Manzhi looked at him for a long time, then jumped off the balcony with his hands on both sides and walked straight towards him.
"Mr. Du has been a vegetarian and a Buddhist for twenty years. Your blessed daughter has now grown into a beautiful young lady. She will marry her beloved next month. You have nothing to worry about anymore, so you will naturally want to leave with peace of mind."
Du Heping turned his eyes away and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Shen Manzhi approached expressionlessly, half-crouching in front of the wheelchair, like a curved blade dripping with blood, making people shiver.
"Don't you just want to see her grow up healthy and happy? If you leave, the bad karma will eventually befall your daughter."
"You bullshit!"
Du Heping seemed to be stimulated by something. He said that even though he had practiced in the temple for so many years, he still had such a deep obsession. His eyes were slightly red. "Don't touch her!"
Shen Manzhi couldn't even smile to the bottom of his eyes, he spread his hands helplessly, indifferent, "I don't want this either."
She also didn't want to use the life of an innocent girl to threaten a father who had been patient for twenty years. Even if she wouldn't do anything to the girl, it would still cause Du Heping to fall into endless panic.
She is not a good person, she is just...
"But I really want to know the truth."
Du Heping looked sad, "Why...why do you know her?"
"You said at the beginning that you encountered an unexpected change and your wife and daughter passed away. I have been wondering what has supported you to live a peaceful and indifferent life for twenty years. If it is not for revenge, then it is because you are afraid of revenge. You are not afraid of death, but you are afraid of other things.
I guess you hold their secrets in your hands. If you want to live, someone will protect you. Now it doesn’t matter if you die. Maybe you have fulfilled your wish.”
Shen Manzhi said softly, "People are like this. If you don't have obsessions, there's no point in living."
Du Heping raised his hands to cover his face, "No one knows her."
He tacitly agreed with Shen Manzhi's words.
"For me, it's not difficult to find her. As for those people, it's only a matter of time before they find her. So do you think they will let her go? Will they believe that you didn't leave any bargaining chips for your daughter?"
Du and flat color pain.
"I just want to know the truth. I can protect you and your daughter."
Du Heping looked at him and said hoarsely, "Do you know what the consequences of investigating what happened 20 years ago are?"
Shen Manzhi looked calm, "No matter what, I accept it."
Du Heping gently closed his eyes, "You can't bear it."
He sighed deeply as if in compromise, and the expression beneath his brows seemed to have aged several years in an instant.
"I am not a good father. I don't have the ability to seek justice for my wife and daughter. I just ask... I just ask her to live well."
