Yun Bixue fought to keep control of her emotions. She looked at Shen Zhengyao calmly and said, “Shen Zhengyao, you dare to track my movements?”
Shen Zhengyao looked at Yun Bixue’s calm expression and grew even more bitter. He said in a dark and ruthless tone, “What are you going to do about it? You still have enemies in Ning An City, so it’s natural that they’ll help me find you… Haha!”
Looking at the slightly crazed Shen Zhengyao, Yun Bixue felt a little shaken. Who would have thought that this person who was once admired by his peers, who was once in the prime of his life, acted conceited and lofty, would end up in such as state after the Shen family was sealed?
It was difficult to relate this unhinged Shen Zhengyao with the son of the Shen family’s young master of the past.
Yun Bixue felt a pinch of sorrow; sorrow for the fates of those born into these rich families. All they did was leverage their family background, and their personal abilities never rose above the power of their respective families. If they did, they wouldn’t have ended up like this today.
This sudden sorrow also served as a stern reminder for Yun Bixue herself. She must stop depending on the Yun Family’s protection and increase her own abilities to extend beyond that of the family. To her, it is only when people first think of your abilities rather than your family that you can be considered an independent and strong person.
“Shen Zhengyao, you must think this through carefully. You’re still young and have a lot of time ahead of you. Are you really willing to give up your life for this? Be careful that you’re not falling into someone else’s trap.”
“Yun Bixue, you’re just afraid, and you only want me to abandon my plan. Fat chance! I’ll end my life with yours! As soon as I pull the rope in my hand, both of us will end up as ashes. Haha, I won’t let you off so easily after what you did to my family!”
“Shen Zhengyao, the person behind this will easily benefit from both our deaths, and the assets of your Shen family will fall into her hands too. Do you really think that’s worth you doing this?” Yun Bixue didn’t regret drawing out the Shen family’s men of sacrifice, but she did regret overlooking Shen Zhengyao’s personality. She didn’t factor in the possibility that he would turn out so insane.
Shen Zhengyao’s expression changed, but only for the briefest of moments. He said in a stern and cold voice, “Yun Bixue, you’re only afraid that I’ll end my life together with yours—you want me to waver! Stop giving yourself hope. As long as you’re dead, Great Aunt can take control of the Yun family, and the Shen family will rise again.”
Yun Bixue knew from Shen Zhengyao’s words that he put the Shen family before everything else. Although he believed in sharing his family’s glory and shame, but there was something inherently wrong with his mindset.
“Shen Zhengyao, there’s a saying that it’s never too late to exact revenge. If I were you, I would wait for the day that I can kill my enemy and take his place. Ending your life together with the enemy is perhaps the most foolish move you can make. And Old Lady Shen might not be acting in the interest of the Shen family. To her, the most important thing is still her son. the Yun family will always be the Yun family, and the Shen family is nothing but a stepping stone to her.” Although the situation was dire, but she had to fight for time.
Since Yun Bixue had been driving extremely fast, it was difficult for the Xie family’s secret guards to catch up. By the time they realized that something was wrong, they were shocked to find the Young Madam was within the potential blast radius.
The leader of the secret guard made the executive decision to press the Xie family’s primary alarm for Ning An City. The danger indicator was set to max. This way, no matter where Young Master Xie was, they could get in touch with him and know his location.
