150 He Admitted Defeat
Shen Hanyu was so angry that he laughed.
“Stop here? Sang Qianqian, don’t forget that you were the one who provoked me first.”
With a cold face, he said word by word, “Since you’re the one who asked for it, you can’t decide when this relationship ends.”
Sang Qianqian lowered her eyes and did not speak.
She continued living at Imperial Creek Terrace, but she was like a completely different person.
She no longer went to the kitchen, no longer cooked, and did not even say a word to Shen Hanyu.
When he was at home, she would always hide in her room and avoid him as much as possible. At night, if he wanted her, she would never refuse and would follow him obediently.
However, every time they were done, she would turn away and no longer want to sleep in his arms like before. She never took the initiative to hug him again.
Shen Hanyu felt an inexplicable anger in his heart, but he had no place to vent it. She seemed to have a gentle temperament, but when she wanted to be stubborn, she was really stubborn.
No matter how Shen Hanyu treated her, no matter how he tried to make her happy, no matter how cold and harsh his att.i.tude was, she remained calm and indifferent. She gave him silent treatment to fight against him.
In the end, Shen Hanyu was the one who couldn’t take it anymore.
He couldn’t accept this Sang Qianqian. She was right in front of him, but she seemed so far away.
He admitted defeat.
He helped her investigate all the possible leads on the day of Sang Minglang’s disappearance. He found out that Sang Minglang had hurriedly rushed back to the top floor of the Hongyuan Group’s Building after receiving a call.
There, a helicopter landed and parked. Sang Minglang was brought onto the helicopter by a group of men in black, and they left.
He didn’t know if they were willing or forced, or where they went. However, Shen Hanyu had promised Sang Qianqian that he would help her find Sang Minglang’s whereabouts.
The premise was that she must not go out with Wen Xu again. “That would be useless.”
Since those people had taken Sang Minglang away, as long as he was still alive and could regain his freedom, he would definitely return to his home in Ming City first and not wander around the other cities.
The search messages that Sang Qianqian and Wen Xu had received might really be similar to Sang Minglang’s, but it definitely wasn’t him.
Sang Qianqian looked through the surveillance footage for a long time. As she watched the helicopter disappear into the night, her eyes reddened.
She turned around and thanked Shen Hanyu with tears in her eyes.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to talk to him in a long time. Even though it was only two words, Shen Hanyu felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
Shen Hanyu stepped aside and agreed to let her see Wen Xu.
However, she was not allowed to travel with Wen Xu and spend the night outside like they did in the past. Sang Qianqian agreed.
The relationship between the two of them gradually returned to how it was before.
She would cook every day and make a lot of delicious food for him. She would call his name sweetly, smile at him, and occasionally kiss him mischievously before turning around and running away with a smile.
She would also take the initiative to hug him, respond to him, and even take the initiative to please him.
They had never told anyone about their relationship, but they were more like a couple than a real couple. They were more like a married couple than a real married couple.
One look from him and one expression from her was enough for them to both know what each other wanted.
Many times, they couldn’t help but look at each other and smile. Their hearts were connected, and they were deeply attached to each other.
In the dead of night, Shen Hanyu held her in his arms and could not help but stare at her for a long time. In the past, when he was alone, life was just like how he lived alone.
He spent too much time and effort on work, and occasionally, he would feel lonely.
But now, when he laid beside her, he felt a sense of security he had never felt before. He felt a sense of happiness and fulfillment for the future.
Shen Hanyu wanted to make her happy. Hence, he had really put in a lot of effort to find Sang Minglang’s whereabouts.
If they wanted to find Sang Minglang, they had to find out the person who was trying to harm the Sang family.
When he found some clues, he received a warning call, telling him to stay out of it and not to meddle in other people’s business.
No one had ever threatened him like this before, so Shen Hanyu ignored it and continued his investigation.
One night, when he went to pick up Sang Qianqian from work, he was suddenly shot. He was seriously injured and fell unconscious.
Sang Qianqian rushed to the hospital in a daze. Guo Muyang was so anxious that he paced back and forth. It was such a cold day, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
When he saw Sang Qianqian, he wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he told her about the anonymous warning call that Shen Hanyu had received when he was looking for Sang Minglang’s whereabouts.
“Miss Sang, the Sang family has offended no ordinary person. They really wanted Hanyu’s life, and they even used guns. They’re just a bunch of criminals.”
He stammered, finding it difficult to say what he wanted to say. But for Shen Hanyu’s sake, he had to say it. “You’d better not let Hanyu investigate the Sang family again. And don’t let him find your brother for you.”
Sang Qianqian’s body trembled violently, and her face was drained of blood. Her body swayed a few times.
For a moment, Guo Muyang thought she would faint, but she composed herself and said calmly, “Alright,” she said.
Then, she sat quietly on the bench outside the emergency room for seven or eight hours until Shen Hanyu was pushed out of the emergency room.
He had three gunshot wounds on his body. The most serious one was only two centimeters away from his heart.
Shen Hanyu was lucky this time, but what if he continued to investigate?
Would there be a next time?
That night, Sang Qianqian stayed by Shen Hanyu’s side the entire night.
The next morning, someone stomped into the room in high heels and gave Sang Qianqian a tight slap.
The person who had come was Xia Sitong.
After Shen Hanyu left the country, Xia Sitong had also left the country. She had been in the same city as Shen Hanyu for the past few years.
When she received the news that Shen Hanyu was injured, she immediately rushed back to the country. When she found out that Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian were actually cohabiting, she was furious.
She had used the worst words to insult Sang Qianqian, saying that she wasn’t good enough for Shen Hanyu, that she had approached Shen Hanyu with ill intentions, and that she was a jinx. Xia Sitong claimed that nothing good would happen to Shen Hanyu whenever he met her.
“Why don’t you take a look at your own status? You’ve caused so much trouble for the Shen family, and yet you’re still so thick-skinned as to be with Brother Hanyu.”
Xia Sitong’s exquisitely made-up face was twisted with disgust and jealousy. “Do you really think that Brother Hanyu will treat you with his heart? He kept you by his side only to relieve his loneliness and to take revenge on the Sang family!”
She pointed at the door of the ward and asked Sang Qianqian to get lost with a look of hatred.
“Don’t come to the hospital again. By the way, take away all your things from Imperial Creek Terrace, or I’ll throw them away.”
Xia Sitong sneered, “Sang Qianqian, let me tell you, Brother Hanyu and I were engaged when Uncle Shen and Auntie Shen were still around. Who do you think you are? Did you really think you could get into Brother Hanyu’s bed with that pretty face of yours? Stop daydreaming!”
It wasn’t that Sang Qianqian couldn’t refute Xia Sitong’s ridiculous words. However, her gaze fell on the pale-faced man who was unconscious on the bed.
Her lips moved, but in the end, she silently turned around and left.
