Chapter 449: Crazy Demon
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ten minutes felt like a few hours.
Their gazes fell on the phone Sang Qianqian had placed on the table, and they remained silent.
When the phone suddenly rang, Sang Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat and she immediately pressed the call b.u.t.ton.
“Big Brother Shi’an, Big Sister Qianqian.”
Ruan Xiaodie’s voice came from the other end.
When Xie Shi’an heard her voice, his blood boiled and he wanted to explode, but he held it in.
“You asked me to see Shi’an, and I’m already here.”
Sang Qianqian said softly. “1 want to talk to Father-in-law.”
“Sure.”
Ruan Xiaodie agreed readily and switched to video mode without any hesitation.
The door of a small room was pushed open. Inside, Shen Shaofeng was sitting on a simple wooden bed. The floor was a mess of broken dishes and food.
Ruan Xiaodie didn’t imprison him, but without his prosthetic legs, he was like a cripple and couldn’t move freely.
Seeing her walk in, Shen Shaofeng glared at her, “Who exactly are you? Why did you bring me here?”
Ruan Xiaodie smiled and waved her phone in front of him. “Someone wants to talk to you.”
“Qianqian?”
Shen Shaofeng was overjoyed when he saw Sang Qianqian. However, he immediately realized something and looked at Ruan Xiaodie warily. “Qianqian, is she trying to use me to threaten you? No matter what request she makes, you and Hanyu mustn’t agree to it. At my age, death is not worth regretting. You guys…”
The camera shook, and Ruan Xiaodie turned off the video.
From the other end came Shen Shaofeng’s angry scolding. Then, something fell heavily to the ground, and his painful groan could be heard.
Sang Qianqian’s heart seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and her voice changed a little. “Ruan Xiaodie, don’t hurt him!”
“This person’s temper is really stinky and stubborn.”
Ruan Xiaodie’s cold voice sounded on the other end of the phone. “If 1 don’t let him suffer, it seems that he won’t listen.”
“Xiaodie, he is just an old man. Why do you have to hurt the innocent? Eldest Brother has already done so many wrong things, and you still want to follow in his footsteps?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang couldn’t hold it in anymore. She choked, “Where are you? I’ll go find you, okay? If you let Uncle Shen go, I’ll accompany you to study abroad. Everything will end here, okay?”
“Stop here? Big Sister makes it sound so easy.”
Ruan Xiaodie said coldly, “Eldest Brother is dead, Shao Jin is dead, and the Ruan Family is gone. Sister can be heartless and pretend that nothing happened, but I can’t.”
“A lot of things aren’t what you’re a.s.suming.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang was in tears. “Xiaodie, listen to your Big Sister’s advice. Let Uncle Shen go, okay?”
“Enough. It’s not your place to tell me what to do.”
Ruan Xiaodie was very impatient and said coldly, “I’ve said it before, you don’t deserve the surname Ruan.”
“I really regret bringing you to the capital.”
Xie Shi’an’s face was livid. He gritted his teeth and said, “Ruan Xiaodie, you are a demon!”
“Demon? Brother Shi’an, you think too highly of me.”
Not only was Ruan Xiaodie not angry, she even smiled. “I’m just giving back to Shen Hanyu double what he gave to the Ruan family and me.”
The regret of not being able to get what she loved, the tragedy of losing her family, she wanted Shen Hanyu to taste all of it!
Sang Qianqian’s face turned pale. “What else do you want?”
Ruan Xiaodie said unhurriedly. Sang Qianqian, Xie Shi’an, and Ruan Xiaoshuang looked at each other, stunned.
“You’re really crazy!”
Xie Shi’an was furious. “I won’t do as you want!”
“Don’t you like Sister Qianqian a lot?”
Ruan Xiaodie chuckled. “When I first returned to the capital, 1 saw her and Shen Hanyu getting back together. Who was the one who got drunk in the middle of the night, took her photo, and mumbled her name?”
Xie Shi’an’s expression changed as he was exposed.
“Brother Shi’an, you must have started liking Sister Qianqian when you met her while you were studying abroad, right?”
Her tone carried a hint of pity. “You’ve been infatuated with her for so many years, but you didn’t dare to openly s.n.a.t.c.h her from Shen Hanyu. Now that I’ve brought her to you, you don’t dare to take her. Brother Shi’an, you’re so pitiful.”
Xie Shi’an gritted his teeth and said nothing.
“Pitiful? I think you’re the pitiful one here. Liking someone is fulfilling their wishes, not possessing them. Ruan Xiaodie, you don’t know what true love is.”
Sang Qianqian said coldly, “Before Shao Jin died, he asked Shi’an to take good care of you. He only hoped that you could live well, but what about you? You’re deceiving everyone and insisting on doing these horrible things. Aren’t you afraid that one day, you’ll be like your Eldest Brother and regret it when you reach a dead end? Aren’t you afraid that Shao Jin’s soul in heaven won’t be at ease?!”
She was so angry that she deliberately mentioned Shao Jin.
Sure enough, when she heard Shao Jin’s name, Ruan Xiaodie’s voice became sharp. “A dead end? Sang Qianqian, you should be worrying about Shen Hanyu instead!”
“Xiaodie, don’t do anything stupid.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes were red as she tried to persuade the girl again. “Something has already happened to Eldest Brother. I don’t want you to also…”
“Big Sister, you’re so annoying. I told you earlier that I’m not Eldest Brother. My plan won’t fail.”
Ruan Xiaodie interrupted Ruan Xiaoshuang and said impatiently, “Did you know? Sang Minglang originally shouldn’t have escaped death, but for your sake, I didn’t touch him. In the future, you will guard him well and fulfill your regrets in this life. Don’t meddle in my affairs anymore!”
Hearing this, Ruan Xiaoshuang and Sang Qianqian’s hearts sank.
Sang Qianqian thought that once she returned to the hospital, she must ask Jian Zheng to arrange for more people to guard the ward. Ruan Xiaodie was a psychopath, and she might suddenly want to harm her brother one day. Nothing must happen to her brother.
“We can’t do what you asked just now.”
Xie Shi’an’s emotions, which had been stimulated by Ruan Xiaodie earlier, calmed down at this moment. He said, “You should change your condition.”
“But if you want Shen Shaofeng to be fine, you can only do as I say.”
Ruan Xiaodie said nonchalantly, “Besides, Brother Shi’an, I’ve already said that this is my gift to you. You have to take it no matter what. I’ll give you three days to consider. I want a definite result after that.”
The call then ended.
Xie Shi’an grabbed his phone and called back. There was only a toot sound on the other end. The call couldn’t get through.
He was silent for a long time before he looked at Sang Qianqian guiltily. “What should we do?”
Sang Qianqian closed her eyes, and what came to her mind was the image of Shen Shaofeng being locked up in that crude and dirty room.
She also imagined his last groan of extreme pain.
Ruan Xiaodie was a lunatic. If she didn’t do as the girl said, she would probably do anything.
“Since she wants results,”
Sang Qianqian said slowly, “Then give her the results.”
“But…”
Xie Shi’an’s expression was conflicted and apologetic. However, other than this method, he seemed to have no other choice. He whispered, “Whatever you need me to do, I’ll do my best to cooperate..”
