186 More and More Fearless
When Sang Minglang returned, Shen Hanyu had not left yet.
“I just checked her temperature. It’s 37.8 now, so she should be fine.”
Shen Hanyu glanced at Sang Minglang and said in a flat tone, “I wonder what kind of business meeting was so important that it would make Big Brother stay out all night and not even pick up his phone?”
Sang Minglang’s expression stiffened, “Aren’t you going to the airport? You might miss the flight, so hurry up and get lost.”
“Big Brother, I’m really worried about leaving Qianqian with you. She was so sick from the fever last night that she thought I was you.”
Shen Hanyu said seriously, “Therefore, if I come to the capital again, I’ll still live next door. Please don’t blame me, Brother.”
In the past, he felt that Sang Minglang was quite reliable and doted on his little sister. But from the looks of it now, that was not the case at all.
Before he came to the capital, Shen Hanyu had specially asked Sang Minglang to take good care of Sang Qianqian and not let anything happen to her.
At that time, Sang Minglang agreed immediately. Alas, in the end, he was out socializing and did not even pick up his phone.
If he hadn’t been here last night, no one would have cared for Sang Qianqian.
Sang Minglang felt a little ashamed in his heart, but also a little glad. However, he still kept a straight face as he said, “I can’t be bothered with what happens between you and my sister in the future. Whether she’s willing to reconcile with you or not is her business. Just remember, it was purely a coincidence that you were living next door. I never told you about my sister’s dream, nor did I let you get involved. Everything was your own decision.”
Shen Hanyu smiled. “Don’t worry, Big Brother. I’m not like you; I’ve never failed to keep my promise.”
Sang Minglang snorted coldly, “You’re quite something, Shen Hanyu. You’re pointing at the mulberry tree, but you’re scolding the locust. Just over this, you want to become my Brother-in-law? That’s wishful thinking.”
Shen Hanyu smirked. “If you really think that way, you wouldn’t have told me the truth about Qianqian breaking up with me.”
Sang Minglang was speechless.
At this point, he felt that his sister was the only person in the world who could deal with Shen Hanyu. Shen Hanyu was becoming more and more fearless in front of him.
“Well, it’s time for me to go, Big Brother.”
Shen Hanyu got up. He had not slept for the entire night, and he looked tired. “Take care of Qianqian. See you another day.”
Sang Minglang watched as his car left, his heart filled with emotions.
Previously, in Ming City, Shen Hanyu had come to look for Sang Minglang on the night he broke up with Sang Qianqian.
Sang Minglang had to admit that Shen Hanyu was a very bewitching person.
He was originally firmly on his sister’s side, but after Shen Hanyu spoke to him with such sincerity, he was actually moved by Shen Hanyu’s feelings for his sister.
As such, Sang Minglang told Shen Hanyu about his sister’s nightmare, including the end of the nightmare where he and Shen Hanyu were in the same car, and the tragedy where the car fell off the cliff and everyone died.
Eventually, Shen Hanyu found out that the reason Sang Qianqian had broken up with him was not because of what she had claimed, but simply because she was afraid that he would be dragged into it. She was worried he would end up in the same state as in her dream.
Shen Hanyu’s emotions suddenly calmed down, and he didn’t speak for a long time.
Sang Minglang had thought that Shen Hanyu would accept the fact that they had broken up. Unexpectedly, Shen Hanyu began to make a deal with Sang Minglang.
In the end, he managed to convince Sang Minglang to become his ally. Not only did he accept the accommodation that Shen Hanyu arranged for him in the capital, he even agreed to let Shen Hanyu partic.i.p.ate in his plans. Of course, that was when Sang Minglang needed it.
Excluding the misunderstandings and prejudices in the past five years, Sang Minglang’s impression and evaluation of Shen Hanyu was actually quite high.
Shen Hanyu was a few years younger than him, but he was as shrewd, determined, decisive, and strategic as he was. In fact, he was better than him in many aspects.
Out of her feelings for Shen Hanyu, Sang Qianqian did not want to drag him into this, afraid that something would happen to him.
But from Sang Minglang’s point of view, Shen Hanyi could choose not to partic.i.p.ate, but behind the scenes, he might be able to provide a lot of help with his ability and resources.
As long as he didn’t personally get involved, the possibility of danger would be greatly reduced.
More importantly, Sang Minglang had always believed in it.
Since the dream had given him a warning in advance, he was confident that he could avoid the ending. With Shen Hanyu’s ability, how could he not?
Sang Minglang had also shared these thoughts with Sang Qianqian after that. However, Sang Qianqian was someone who had experienced the dream, and the fear she felt wasn’t something that others could empathize with.
She was determined not to let Shen Hanyu get involved in this. She had already let him down in her dream, and now she just wanted Shen Hanyu to stay out of it.
The Sang family’s matter should be dealt with by the Sang family themselves.
Actually, Sang Minglang could understand his sister’s feelings and att.i.tude. To Sang Qianqian, that dream was like a sword hanging over her head, which could come down at any moment.
As long as Shen Hanyu got involved, Sang Qianqian would be under a lot of pressure.
However, she did not leave any room for discussion. It was rare for Sang Minglang to feel a little jealous. “You’re really thinking about Shen Hanyu. You can’t bear to see anything happen to Shen Hanyu, but you can bear to see your brother die? And didn’t you say that something happened to Dad in your dream?”
Even now, Sang Minglang could not forget the look in Sang Qianqian’s eyes when she stared at him. Her gaze held an indescribable meaning.
She looked at Sang Minglang firmly and said with unusual determination, “If something really happened to you and father, then I will find the culprit and make them pay the price. If it’s like the dream and we can’t find the murderer, then I’ll die with Father and Brother. But, Shen Hanyu can’t be there.”
As long as Shen Hanyu was around, she wouldn’t be able to die in peace. She would die with guilt.
Sang Minglang did not know what he was feeling at that time. He didn’t expect that his sister had already prepared for the worst when she decided to come to the capital. She didn’t even care about life and death.
He suddenly understood why his sister was so insistent on breaking up with Shen Hanyu. He also realized that his sister loved Shen Hanyu much more than he thought.
Perhaps, it was no less than Shen Hanyu’s love for his sister.
Sang Minglang had done everything within his power to make the most comprehensive arrangements, and Shen Hanyu was a.s.sisting from the side. They were all determined to stop the tragedy in the dream from happening again at all costs.
This was also the reason why he had kept the secret from Sang Qianqian even though he and Shen Hanyu had come to some sort of agreement.
He respected Sang Qianqian’s wishes and didn’t want her to be distracted by Shen Hanyu’s interference.
However, it was also because both he and Shen Hanyu hoped to use this trip to completely destroy the nightmare that was lingering in Sang Qianqian’s heart. They wanted to get rid of the psychological trauma the nightmares had brought to her. From then on, she would be able to put her heart at ease and pursue the life she wanted.

Sang Minglang went upstairs and pushed open Sang Qianqian’s bedroom door, intending to check on her.
