69: Chapter 69 Make a Choice, Son-in-Law

"The Monk, you still refuse this young master's good intentions? Now you know how good this young master is to you, right?"

"Look at you, full of vigor. Even after two hours, you're still standing tall. You've likely mastered eighty percent of this young master's skills."

Chu Yuan watched the little scene between The Monk and Qi Xinyue, acting as an audience member and providing commentary.

The Monk stood behind him, deadpan. Even when faced with Chu Yuan's teasing, his heart didn't race, and his muscles didn't twitch, as if he were just a passerby.

"Young Master, I have followed your instructions. I don't know if this video meets your expectations."

The Monk realized that this young master, who appeared to be a gentleman on the surface, was incredibly filthy on the inside.

Even with his thick skin, he didn't dare to continue discussing this topic with Chu Yuan.

"Not bad. You've worked hard, The Monk."

Chu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

The Monk was not only powerful, but he also handled tasks even more perfectly than he had imagined.

There were some things that Chu Yuan could indeed have used hackers to accomplish.

But even if they were forged well, there was always a risk of being seen through, especially in front of Shen Wen, the Protagonist.

Only something flawless was perfect.

With the help of The Monk, inducing Qi Xinyue to cooperate voluntarily and fulfill his requirements had saved Chu Yuan a lot of trouble.

He just wondered if, when Shen Congwu and Shen Wen, that father-son duo, saw such an interesting sight, they would save it to watch again later.

Speaking of which, that brat Shen Wen should have already arrived in Magic City to see Zhou Xiaodie, so he could proceed with the next step of his plan.

Magic City, restaurant private room.

Shen Wen was pacing back and forth, anxious and uneasy.

According to Zhou Xiaodie's request, he had been waiting in the private room for almost an hour, but he still hadn't seen a shadow of her.

He had "married into" the Zhou Family for three years, acting like a dog for three years without complaint, and this was the first time Zhou Xiaodie had taken the initiative to meet him.

Faced with such a wonderful thing, he should have been overjoyed, but now that such a tragedy had occurred, Shen Wen didn't know how to face Zhou Xiaodie.

Because of the order from his father, Shen Congwu, the Shen Family had wiped out the Zhou Family.

He was now the son of the person who had exterminated Zhou Xiaodie's family, and he had a deep blood feud with her.

He didn't know what kind of attitude Zhou Xiaodie had towards him now.

Did she still hate him? Was there any possibility for him and Zhou Xiaodie to be together?

While Shen Wen was filled with anxiety, Zhou Xiaodie, dressed in white with a white flower in her hair, finally appeared before him.

They say a woman looks most beautiful in mourning clothes.

At this moment, dressed in plain clothes and wearing mourning attire, Zhou Xiaodie was even more alluring than usual, leaving Shen Wen completely dumbfounded.

"Xiaodie, you... you finally came. Please, have a seat."

Shen Wen looked excited and hurriedly pulled out a seat for Zhou Xiaodie.

This fawning appearance made Zhou Xiaodie feel like vomiting.

She now wished she could take a butcher's knife and chop Shen Wen into mincemeat.

For the sake of Chu Yuan's next plan, she suppressed the discomfort in her heart and kept a look of displeasure on her face.

"Don't call me so intimately. Your father killed my entire family. Now that I, this survivor, have appeared before you, why don't you hurry up and kill me too, so you can go back and claim credit from your father?"

"Xiaodie, you... you've misunderstood."

Shen Wen shook his head like a rattle, trying his best to explain:

"Xiaodie, don't you know my feelings for you?"

"I would rather suffer harm myself than hurt you in the slightest."

"Heh..." Zhou Xiaodie sneered: "You didn't want to see me harmed, yet you hurt my parents, hurt my family, and killed them all."

"Shen Wen, this innocent act of yours is truly disgusting."

"Xiaodie, listen to my explanation." Shen Wen continued his weak and pale explanation: "I was unconscious at the time. I didn't know those people were acting so recklessly."

"If I had been awake, even if I had to give my all, I wouldn't have let them suffer even the slightest harm."

"A fine 'wouldn't have let my parents suffer even the slightest harm'. My parents didn't treat you well on a daily basis, which made you hold a grudge. You had long wanted to kill them, so you used the hands of your subordinates to kill my entire family."

"It's not like that. They were your parents, your younger brother, my father-in-law and mother-in-law, my brother-in-law. I would never hurt them."

"Enough. I don't want to hear these useless explanations from you."

Zhou Xiaodie waved her hand in disgust, too lazy to listen to those repulsive excuses.

"Xiaodie, listen to me..."

"Stop talking. If you want me to forgive you, there are only two choices: kill me, this survivor, and take my head to your father to claim your reward."

"No, you are my wife. I would absolutely never hurt you."

Zhou Xiaodie's words scared Shen Wen into retreating repeatedly.

In order to be with Zhou Xiaodie, even seeing himself wearing a green hat, he had gritted his teeth and endured it.

Now, asking him to kill the person he loved most with his own hands? Shen Wen had to say: I can't do it.

"Xiaodie, can I choose the second path?"

"The second path is simpler. Just kill your father, Shen Congwu, to avenge my family. Not only will I forgive you, but I can also return to your side."

"Once your father is dead, you will be the head of the Shen Family, sitting on billions in assets. You will have everything you want, and you will have both power and beauty in your hands."

"I..."

Shen Wen was speechless, not knowing how to respond.

Kill Zhou Xiaodie? Shen Wen was unwilling to do it.

Kill his father, Shen Congwu? Shen Wen wasn't about to commit patricide for a woman.

"Xiaodie, can you change the request? I will definitely find a way to complete it."

"These two requests cannot be changed."

"I will give you another half a month to consider. If you don't kill that guy Shen Congwu, I will find a way to assassinate him. When the time comes, either I kill him, or I will die by his hands."

After dropping this threat, Zhou Xiaodie didn't want to face that disgusting person, Shen Wen, any longer.

Before Shen Wen could say anything, she slammed the door and left.

"Xiaodie!"

The startled Shen Wen chased out the door, only to completely lose track of Zhou Xiaodie.

"Xiaodie wants to kill my father to avenge her family, and my father wants to kill Xiaodie, this survivor. To vent my anger... I'm caught in the middle. What should I do?"

Shen Wen stood stupidly on the spot, unable to make a choice.

"Agree to Xiaodie's request and kill my father?"

"No! He is my biological father. I would rather die than commit such an act of a beast."

"Kill Xiaodie? She is the person I love most in this life. If she dies, what meaning does my life have in this world?"

Shen Wen was completely trapped in a dilemma.

Whether it was his father, Shen Congwu, or Zhou Xiaodie, he was unwilling to hurt either of them, and even less willing to see either of them hurt by the other.
