78: Chapter 78 Shen Wen felt an urge to kill.

Wasn't this talking about him, Shen Wen, and his mother, Qi Xinyue? They fit the description perfectly.

He had essentially been raised by Shen Congwu for twenty years for nothing, and the things that had happened to the two of them, mother and son, matched exactly what the other person had said.

Hearing this, Shen Wen was so terrified that cold sweat poured down his back.

When he found out that he wasn't Shen Congwu's son and not the Young Master of the Shen Family, Shen Wen only thought about deliberately avoiding the issue, unwilling to face reality.

Shen Wen had never considered what unimaginable things Shen Congwu might do once he learned the truth.

Even though Shen Congwu was usually good to him, even when he went to the Zhou Family to be a useless live-in son-in-law for three years, no matter how unhappy Shen Congwu was, he still had to obediently listen to what Shen Wen said.

That was because the other person treated him as his own biological son.

If he were to let the other person know the truth...

I'm afraid that the kindness from before would turn into endless rage.

In an ordinary family, after learning of such a major upheaval, people would do extreme things, wishing they could kill the other person.

In a prestigious household like the Shen Family, once his, Shen Wen's, background was exposed, let alone his status as the Young Master of the Shen Family being compromised, even his life wouldn't be safe.

"What should I do? How should I resolve this now?"

Shen Wen didn't want to die, especially since he hadn't yet obtained the woman he loved, and hadn't yet dealt with his greatest enemy in this life, Chu Yuan.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

Just as Shen Wen's thoughts were in chaos and he was at a loss, a cell phone ringtone suddenly sounded.

On the phone screen, the three words "Zhou Xiaodie" made Shen Wen inexplicably excited.

Whatever Young Master of the Shen Family, whatever illegitimate son, not even his own life was as important as Zhou Xiaodie.

"Xiaodie, you're looking for me..."

Shen Wen, with an excited mood, hadn't even said a few words before being heartlessly interrupted by Zhou Xiaodie.

"Shen Wen, the time I gave you is up. Regarding the two choices I gave you, what have you decided?"

"Do you want me to die, or do you want your father, Shen Congwu, to die?"

"Xiaodie, there's a secret I want to tell you..."

Shen Wen just wanted to blurt out the fact that he had no relationship with Shen Congwu.

But when the words reached his lips, he still didn't dare to continue.

Even if he told Zhou Xiaodie about this, it would be of no use.

Because she didn't care about his background at all, only about the life or death of Shen Congwu.

In Shen Wen's ear, Zhou Xiaodie's resolute voice came again: "I can't control your decision, but if you can't kill Shen Congwu tonight, I will storm into the Shen Family first thing tomorrow morning and perish together with your Shen Family. You might as well prepare a coffin for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for any reaction from Shen Wen, Zhou Xiaodie decisively hung up the phone.

"Young Master Chu, just based on my few words, will that simping dog, Shen Wen, really go and kill his father, Shen Congwu?"

Zhou Xiaodie stretched out her delicate little hands and carefully massaged Chu Yuan's shoulders.

With doubts in her heart that she had to express, she asked that question.

Even if Shen Wen was a huge simp, it was impossible for him to kill his own biological father just for her, Zhou Xiaodie, right?

That wouldn't just be a simp or a cuckold, but something worse than a beast.

"Rest assured, barring any accidents, we will receive news of Shen Congwu's death tonight."

Chu Yuan smiled smugly.

He had planned for so long, he wasn't afraid that that stupid dog, Shen Wen, wouldn't take the bait.

Killing that "unrelated by blood" cheap father, Shen Congwu, would not only allow him to obtain the entire Shen Family, but might even allow Shen Wen to win the beauty.

For such a low-risk, high-reward matter, as long as Shen Wen's brain was functioning normally, he would definitely do it.

Sure enough. After Zhou Xiaodie hung up, the hand with which Shen Wen held the phone was still held high, and he sank into deep thought.

He had never before had the thought of murdering Shen Congwu.

Even knowing that he wasn't Shen Congwu's son, he had never entertained such thoughts.

However, Zhou Xiaodie's words just now seemed to open a window for Shen Wen.

If he didn't kill Shen Congwu, once the other party learned the truth, not only would he, Shen Wen, and his mother, Qi Xinyue, but even the woman he loved most, Zhou Xiaodie, die at the hands of Shen Congwu.

"Shen Congwu, don't blame me. I don't want to kill you, none of this is my intention."

Shen Wen gritted his teeth and let out a chilling laugh.

The Shen Family.

A good show was unfolding.

"You better tell me what exactly is going on."

Shen Congwu slammed the table heavily, threw the phone in front of Qi Xinyue, and asked furiously.

Just a short while ago, someone claiming to be an employee of the beauty salon that his wife, Qi Xinyue, often visited said they had found evidence of Qi Xinyue's promiscuity and wanted to exchange it for one million.

Shen Congwu hadn't taken this kind of thing to heart at all.

As her husband, Shen Congwu knew a thing or two about what kind of person Qi Xinyue was.

Although the two of them had only been husband and wife in name for over twenty years and had no real marital relationship, Shen Congwu was still at ease regarding Qi Xinyue's character.

Even if she had the heart of a thief, she wouldn't have the guts of one.

But the other person's confident appearance, and the fact that they were holding a... finally moved Shen Congwu.

Holding the mentality that it was better to believe it than not, Shen Congwu still chose to trade with the other person.

...

Shen Congwu had the same feeling as his son, Shen Wen—the feeling of having a green hat on his head.

Even if he, Shen Congwu, was no longer capable, that was no reason for you, Qi Xinyue, to go out and cheat.

That was why the scene at the beginning, where Shen Congwu questioned Qi Xinyue, happened.

Qi Xinyue, feeling guilty, picked up the phone cautiously.

As soon as she saw the content of the video, she was so agitated that she dropped the phone.
