37: The world kisses me with pain, but I respond with song

Shen Yuxuan's pupils constricted, and she tremblingly reached out to pick up the file on the desk to examine it.

“Person: Xiao Chen”

“Identity: Leader of the Africa's Blood Wolf Mercenary Group”

“Danger Level: S”

“Experience: Smuggling and selling human organs, assassinating leaders of Riwaguo, assassinating political figures from multiple countries, selling arms with the intention of inciting war in the Africa…”

The top-secret file clearly recorded the various crimes committed by the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group in the Africa, as well as the detailed resume of its leader, Xiao Chen. At the bottom of the file was stamped the seal of the Jiangzhou Province Public Security Department, ensuring the authenticity of the top-secret file.

The top-secret file slipped from Shen Yuxuan's fingertips with a 'thud'. The girl's already pale face became even more ashen, her eyes flickering with fear, and she staggered back a few steps, seemingly unable to accept the established facts before her.

Although she didn't know why Jiang Che could obtain a top-secret file sealed by the Provincial Department, Shen Yuxuan no longer had any doubts about Jiang Che's words at this moment.

The last shred of hope in her heart vanished, and the heavy stone that had been weighing on her mind finally dropped.

An unprecedented sense of fear and desolation began to spread in Shen Yuxuan's heart.

Six years had passed in a blink of an eye, and everything had long since changed.

Shen Yuxuan had fantasized countless times about what Xiao Chen had been doing all these years since he left, but she never imagined he would become the leader of an overseas terrorist organization, the type of person she feared and loathed the most.

“The world kisses me with pain, but I repay it with a song.”

This sentence was the best interpretation of Shen Yuxuan's character.

Despite her life not being ideal over the years, Shen Yuxuan never wallowed in self-pity, remaining optimistic and always full of hope for life.

Shen Yuxuan was very grateful to the orphanage that took her in and to Old Dean, which was why she truly considered Sunshine Orphanage her home.

A blooming young girl with normal values, a cheerful personality, and a bit of timidity and inferiority would naturally have no good feelings for an evil organization like the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, which committed all sorts of atrocities.

In the original plot, after reuniting with Shen Yuxuan, Xiao Chen didn't dare to reveal his true identity, hiding it for a long time until he had won Shen Yuxuan's heart before daring to tell her.

But now, he no longer had that opportunity.

“Shen Yuxuan is disgusted with Xiao Chen, Emotion Value +6666…”

“Shen Yuxuan hates Xiao Chen to the bone, Emotion Value +9999…”

“Ah…”

“I never thought Xiao Chen would end up like this…”

Old Dean's expression became incredibly complex after reviewing all the evidence Jiang Che provided, and she let out a long sigh.

Xiao Chen was a child she had watched grow up, and Old Dean never imagined that the sunny, cheerful boy from before would eventually become such a cold-blooded devil. Her heart remained unsettled for a long time.

“Thank you, Jiang Boss, for informing us of these facts…”

“If Xiao Chen truly returns to the orphanage, I will immediately call the police!”

Having lived a lifetime, Old Dean quickly adjusted her emotions, her tone filled with gratitude, and she bowed slightly to Jiang Che.

“You're too kind, Old Dean…”

Jiang Che smiled faintly, helped the elderly woman up, and settled her into a nearby seat. Then, he looked at Shen Yuxuan and offered some words of comfort.

“People change…”

“The current Xiao Chen is no longer the Xiao Chen you remember, Junior Sister. You don't need to dwell on it too much…”

Seeing Shen Yuxuan's disheartened appearance, Jiang Che knew his plan had been completely successful.

He was now looking forward to Xiao Chen being released from the police station in a couple of days, eagerly returning to the orphanage to see the childhood sweetheart who had accompanied him throughout his youth, only for her to want to call the police and send him back in again.

At that time, what kind of deadpan expression would Xiao Chen have?

“Thank you, Senior Jiang…”

Shen Yuxuan sniffled, forcing a faint smile onto her face, and her gaze towards Jiang Che became even gentler.

Senior Jiang is such a gentle person~

Not only did he fund the renovation of Sunshine Orphanage, but after learning about the intricate connection between Xiao Chen and the orphanage, he didn't cut off his support. Instead, he specifically came to inform them of Xiao Chen's true identity and warn them.

Even though Senior Jiang is such a gentle and kind person, Xiao Chen still deliberately targeted him.

At this moment, Shen Yuxuan's hatred for Xiao Chen grew even stronger.

Similarly, because of Xiao Chen, Shen Yuxuan now felt some guilt whenever she faced Jiang Che again.

Jiang Che was so dedicated to charity, yet he was targeted by Xiao Chen, a ruthless executioner who emerged from the orphanage and became utterly evil. Was this a case of good deeds going unrewarded?

Thinking of this, the sentimental Shen Yuxuan felt even more guilty.

“Shen Yuxuan feels deeply guilty, Emotion Value +2233…”

“Shen Yuxuan's heart flutters, Emotion Value +4455…”

…………………

“Since there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first…”

After chatting with the two for a while longer, Jiang Che glanced at his wristwatch and saw that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. He wanted to leave immediately.

Having completely ruined Xiao Chen's image in Shen Yuxuan's heart, making it impossible for the two of them to be together, Jiang Che no longer planned to linger here.

Capturing a pure and innocent female lead like Shen Yuxuan was not something that could be done overnight, and Jiang Che was not in a hurry.

After all, slow-cooked porridge was the most delicious.

Different strategies were needed to conquer different women. With Leng Qingqiu, he had to be sufficiently domineering and strong to leave a deep impression on her heart, and then proceed with his conquest.

With a bad girl like Li Yanran, he could easily control her through a combination of threats, inducements, and a balance of strictness and kindness.

In front of Shen Yuxuan, the innocent female lead, Jiang Che didn't need to try too hard. He just needed to maintain his gentle and elegant noble persona, and the innocent girl would eventually throw herself into his arms.

After all, Shen Yuxuan already had a good impression of him, and with the investment in renovating the orphanage and the recent events as a foundation, her good feelings would naturally deepen.

Having just gained 20,000 emotion points from Shen Yuxuan, Jiang Che was already eager to return to Qingteng Mountain Villa for a ten-pull gacha.

Moreover, the scene of Xiao Chen being humiliated last night had been recorded by the hummingbird robot, and Jiang Che still needed to arrange for someone to edit and release it, making that guy completely famous on foreign websites.

Yes, not just foreign websites, but also the dark web and some orange websites should also publish it.

Jiang Che thought with a touch of dark humor: after Xiao Chen is released from prison, he'll be lonely and restless late at night, opening a small website to relieve himself, only to find that the main recommendation on the homepage is about himself, 'Prison Wind and Cloud'…

If that happened, wouldn't the King of Soldiers be utterly infuriated to death?
