Chapter 84 (The End) - "I love you."

Chapter 84: “I love you.”
The next morning, Jing Xun and Shen Yijin both left their posts and went to the western suburbs cemetery to sweep the grave of Shen Yijin’s mother.
After returning to the country, Shen Yijin would come here to pay respect several times a year. At ordinary times, there would be someone to take care of it. Mother Shen’s tombstone was kept clean and tidy.
On the polished and clean tombstone, the photo of mother Shen was still very clear.
Judging from the photo, Shen Yijin’s mother’s facial features were very three-dimensional, her eyebrows were naturally smiling, she looked like a kind person.
Jing Xun stood in front of the tombstone, and respectfully offered a stick of incense with Shen Yijin.
He also changed to wear black today, but he didn’t appear grim and profound like the feeling that Shen Yijin gave off.
Standing in front of the tombstone, Shen Yijin didn’t say a word, staring straight ahead, what he was thinking was unknown.
Sir just stood there for a long time.
Jing Xun felt that he had a lot to say to his mother.
Or perhaps there was no need to say anything, so he just stared at the tombstone without uttering a word.
He was not in a hurry anyway, so Jing Xun stood at one side and kept him company.
After a long, long time.
Shen Yijin said, “Let’s go back.”
Jing Xun said, “Okay.”
His hand was naturally held by Shen Yijin, and the two of them walked towards the exit together. Jing Xun subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the photo on the tombstone.
The action of turning back left Jing Xun a half step behind. When he turned around again, what he saw was Shen Yijin’s slightly sunken shoulders and steady back.
Shen Yijin didn’t say anything last night, but Jing Xun knew that he hadn’t slept all night.
However, it wasn’t the kind of insomnia caused by the onset of his illness. He was just unable to fall asleep.
If he really had to describe it, that was probably like the last time he(syj) sat down and said goodbye to his past self.
Subconsciously, he bid farewell to former gloomy and oppressive Shen Yijin.
Then welcome the new sunshine.
Together with his past self.
Jing Xun couldn’t help but think back. In fact, Sir knew the truth in the afternoon. Until the time he came back, he neither did anything out of ordinary, nor was he as violent as usual.
He even showed his usual smile in front of him.
Sir had adjusted himself a long time ago.
He waited for him to come back, calmly shared the matter with him, and dealt with it rationally together…
Perhaps all of his previous consolations played a role, and Shen Yijin had been able to regulate his emotions, as well as facing the past.
And even though he stayed up all night until this morning, Shen Yijin looked different from before.
Going astray can be just one thought.
As well as metamorphosis.
Shen Yijin now became more rational, and more honest.
Jing Xun looked back one last time and glanced at the photo on the tombstone.
He originally wanted to ask Shen Yijin’s mother to bless him.
But in the end, he just said in his heart: “We’ll go first, and we’ll see you next time!”
.
After returning to the company, Jing Xun first went to his senior and told him about his plan.
Although Sir was not blackened, he must hurry up to do what he should do.
Jing Xun had been thinking about how to rationally take revenge yesterday.
He thought of many ways, and finally he negotiated with Shen Yijin to finalize the simplest and most effective method, but the implementation of some aspects still required the help of people like Senior Pei.
Jing Xun first explained the plan, and then blinked at Pei Qingnian embarrassedly: “There are still Mrs. Yang’s eyes and ears in the company. Besides, it’s not easy to involve other colleagues in such personal matters. At this time, only Senior is…”
He smiled implicitly: “You are the only one who can help.”
“…Did you tell Shen Yijin that I know about all the plot?” Hearing that Shen Yijin already knows all the truth, Pei Qingnian doubtfully asked.
Jing Xun was innocent at this point: “No, I didn’t say it. He guessed it himself.”
Pei Qingnian: “……”
“Ah.” Thinking of what the senior’s concerns might be, Jing Xun hurriedly explained to him: “But sir didn’t ask anything, Senior doesn’t need to worry, he isn’t the kind of person who would ask you to write down the plot and pry for business opportunities. ”
Pei Qingnian: “……”
It’s no use asking him to write down the plot. His IQ was not as good as Jing Xun’s, and his memory was also different from that of Jing Xun. At most, he still remembered some plots, but he couldn’t write down every detail.
Besides, the illogical dog blood plot of the original book had no useful secret at all!
Pei Qingnian was too lazy to care about that, he just couldn’t rest assured and confirmed with Jing Xun again: “So your family’s Sir really not blackened?”
Jing Xun make a vow: “No, really not.”
“…Alright.” Pei Qingnian was completely relieved this time.
No one could guarantee what the blacken villain would do.
Although Pei Qingnian looked careless and casual on the outside, his way of thinking was very resolute, and it changed three times a day1He came up with new ideas all the time.. But in the end, he promised to stay in Yiwei just because he was worried about Jing Xun.
If Shen Yijin really became a big villain and did something wrong, he would still try his best to take his junior brother he had always cherished away from here.
But fortunately…
“So what have you done in these two months? Not only did you get rid of the scum gong, even the big villain was not blackened?” Pei Qingnian was even more surprised.
Jing Xun: “This…”
Yesterday, after learning of the plot, he ran back in a confused state and didn’t tell him much about the past two months.
Right now he had more important things to discuss with Senior!
“From now on, I will tell you slowly, the top priority now is…”
Jing Xun smiled with his rosy lips and white teeth.
The corners of his lips were naturally raised, he was born with a smiling face.
Jing Xun used to laugh like this before. Although his complexion was not as good as this, Pei Qingnian only needed one glance to know that his junior had thought of some amusing wicked idea.
The last time he saw Jing Xun smile like this, he suddenly proposed to develop a new system and upgrade the firewall in an international competition, which caused them to directly win on behalf of the national team.
This time…
Pei Qingnian squinted at him: “First tell me what you have planned?”
A few days later.
It was originally sunny during the day, but it suddenly rained at night.
Raindrops hit the car window with a pitter patter sound. Yang Nianjiao sat in the back of the business car, looking at the content of the phone in the dimly lit car with difficulty.
What was displayed on it was the latest development and information of Shen Yijin.
Shen Bohan’s recent health condition was very bad, and he was still depressed.
The technology company she founded had serious financial problems, and her plan to surpass Yiwei’s research on artificial intelligence also fell through. For various reasons, Yang Nianjiao decided to take the risk——she wanted to strike at Shen Yijin directly, in a way that hit him right where it hurts.
So she not only deliberately spread rumors that Shen Yijin was involved in his father’s car accident, but also mentioned what happened on that year’s rainy night.
Such words reminded those who cooperated with Shen Yijin that the Shen family had been suffering from mental illness for three generations, and even his biological mother committed suicide because of this.
It was also a reminder to Shen Yijin himself not to forget that rainy night back then.
Yang Nianjiao had always known the cause of Shen Yijin’s illness over the years and how sick he was.
She had always known, but she’d just never worked on it.
It was too risky.
If it weren’t for Shen Bohan’s depression, and it was impossible to fight against Shen Yijin, she didn’t want to do so.
In the latest information that was sent to her, Shen Yijin did visit a psychiatrist frequently, and he also increased the prescription of many related drugs…
Yang Nianjiao showed a triumphant smile, and couldn’t help thinking about the next step.
There was a hoarse beautiful singing in the car stereo. The car body stopped slightly in a burst of shaking. Yang Nianjiao looked out through the closed car window. The Shen family’s outer courtyard gate slowly opened, revealing a width that the car could drive through.
The driver in front started the car again, and drove on the winding path for a while longer. Shortly after, the driver drove the car into the underground garage, parked the car and said to her: “We’re here, madam.”
It was the same as usual.
After entering the garage, the annoying rain stopped suddenly, but the underground garage was also full of moisture that could only be found on rainy days, which made people feel very irritable.
Yang Nianjiao pushed the door and got out of the car, walking towards the elevator with some eager steps.
…She had always hated such rainy days.
Because of the fast pace, it was difficult to maintain her usual elegance. Her high heels slammed on the flat concrete floor and made a “dong dong” sound.
Suddenly, Yang Nianjiao felt that something was wrong.
It seemed that there were only her footsteps in the empty underground garage, and the driver did not follow…
Feeling strange, Yang Nianjiao turned around, and suddenly the entire underground garage went dark!
All the lights were off.
“Ahhh!!”
Yang Nianjiao shrieked, not waiting for her to turn back, the scene in front of her changed once again!
——The lights were on, but this was not the underground garage.
A long row of bookshelves and a piano were placed in the empty room. The concrete floor under her feet had also become an old-fashioned wooden floor, extending to the bottom of the rectangular windows with white window frames…
This window?
This window…!
Yang Nianjiao remembered this window. That woman, that woman, from this window…
There was this room too!
She recognized it, this was the room where that woman lived alone!
But how was it possible?
That house… That house had long ceased to exist… Driver! Where did the driver go! It’s impossible for him to disappear so soon, it’s impossible…!
The humid smell in the air seemed to be heavier, and the outside was filled with the sound of rain.
By the way… When did the rain start?
Wasn’t she in the underground garage…!
She did not dare to approach the window. She forced herself to calm down, and after briefly looking around, she tried to run to the door of this room.
But she had also only ran two steps when a female voice suddenly rang behind her——
“Why are you in my room?”
“Ahhhhhhh!”
A cry of horror reverberated in the huge room. Turning around to see the woman’s face clearly, Yang Nianjiao sat directly on the ground.
“It’s you…it’s you…!”
“Who are you?” The woman has a clean and beautiful face. Her facial features were three-dimensional, she was tall, and had a good figure.
She only appeared in this scene, but it seemed a bit gloomy.
“Who are you?” The woman asked again. Seeing that she didn’t answer, she simply walked in her direction.
Yang Nianjiao, who had fallen to the ground, screamed in horror. She didn’t dare to look at the woman’s face carefully. She waved her limbs frantically, trying to go backward, but her skirt was too tight and her shoes were inconvenient. It was a futile struggle.
On the contrary, in her field of vision, the woman was getting closer and closer, until she could see the woman’s toes without looking up.
“Ahhhhh!!!” In the empty room, Yang Nianjiao’s loud cry sounded again.
She heard the woman’s originally genial voice suddenly become horrifying: “I remember…Did you kill me?”
“Don’t come here!!!”
Yang Nianjiao didn’t even dare to open her eyes to look, but somehow, that eerie and terrifying voice suddenly blasted in her ears: “You killed me, replaced me, and now you want to kill my son?!”
“Ahhh!!!”
Yang Nianjiao confessed to everything.
Standing in the next room observing all this, Pei Qingnian said with a face full of boredom: “That’s it. The plot we designed hasn’t unfolded yet.”
Behind the large LCD monitor, Jing Xun entered the last string of codes, and at the same time flattered solemnly: “The scenes made by Senior are too realistic and too immersive.”
Pei Qingnian: “Hey, don’t flatter me.”
As Jing Xun typed the last enter key, the “room” displayed inside the scene quickly disappeared, restored to its original appearance, and turned into an empty warehouse.
The ticking rain disappeared, including the woman and the voice in the scene.
In the empty warehouse, only Yang Nianjiao shouted and screamed in extreme terror: “I pushed you down… I… pushed you down…”
The sudden silence made Yang Nianjiao, who was scared to death, feel that something was wrong, but she still didn’t dare to open her eyes to see it.
When a blazing light came down, she suddenly felt wrong. She opened her eyes and found herself in a room that wasn’t even the underground garage of Shen’s house, but a…dirty warehouse full of musty smell!
At this time, a cold voice came from the speakers placed in all directions: “Grandpa, you have seen and heard.”
“…” Yang Nianjiao showed an even more horrified expression. Then, the small door next to her was opened from the inside, and old man Shen’s figure came out first.
“Unexpectedly, it was you…and that beast!”
Grandpa Shen was obviously enraged. Shen Yijin and Jing Xun supported him from left to right.
Yang Nianjiao’s arms were twisted and she was pressed to the ground by the bodyguard who automatically rushed forward.
She was still dumbfounded at the moment, but she also knew that she had been fooled…
But how was it possible? ! She had always been on guard before!
She looked around in disbelief, everything just now…that scene was not this warehouse at all, everything just now was exactly the same as that day!
Even that woman’s voice and face could be clearly presented in her mind at this moment, as if she was right in front of her eyes!
How can this be? !
When struggling subconsciously, Yang Nianjiao found that although the warehouse was empty, strange-looking instruments were placed in every corner above her head.
Square, palm-sized, with a lens on top……
Could it be that these things tricked her?! ! For her to think that it……was that woman who came back……
Just as Yang Nianjiao felt incredulous, the sound of rain rang from the surrounding speakers again.
And the sound of her screaming frantically just now.
“I didn’t want to push you down, but you firmly disagree with the divorce! I just… that’s why I did that!”
“Why! Why is your child born as the young master, but my child can only be aborted! I just want to replace you, and I want my child to be the young master of the Shen family!”
“Ahhhhh, stay away from me, don’t come over, you are already dead!…”
With a “Zila” sound, the recording was turned off and did not continue to play.
Jing Xun said to Grandpa Shen: “Grandpa, the recording has been saved. Let the police handle this matter.”
“Ok.”
Grandpa Shen responded in anger, commanding the bodyguards and the lawyer who had been here since early morning: “Take her to the police station! Together with the evidence!”
“No! Dad, Dad! For the sake of me serving you for so many years, don’t send me to the police station…” Yang Nianjiao, who was pressed to the ground, struggled.
Although all the words just now were said by herself, at this moment Yang Nianjiao did not want to admit it.
But Grandpa Shen was full of anger and exhaustion that he didn’t want to talk to her anymore.
Seeing that old man Shen simply ignored her,Yang Nianjiao was overcome with grief and anger: “If it weren’t for you, you set up a family rule forbidding Shen’s family to have illegitimate children outside, I would not be dragged by your son to get an abortion!”
“Is my child not a human life? Why are you doing this to me! That’s right, I just want to marry into the Shen family, I just rightfully want to avenge my child! Did I do something wrong? That woman is not dead…”
But no matter how much she yelled, everyone looked at her indifferently, not even a voice to argue.
In the end, Yang Nianjiao didn’t even have the strength to continue screaming.
Is it wrong? All these years she has been afraid to think about what happened back then.
When she sneaked off to the Shen family to find that woman due to a fit of anger, she originally just wanted to revenge the worthless scum man who didn’t hesitate to ask her to abort the baby in order to preserve his image in front of his father.
But who knew that they had a dispute afterwards, and when she lost her mind for a moment, that woman was…
The scum came a step late, just in time to see her pushing the woman down.
Fortunately, that woman had depression, which can be justified as suicide.
The scum also had a conscience, and helped her cover up her traces that night… After the woman died, Yang Nianjiao’s fate also changed…
The scum didn’t dare to disobey his father, so she could only be a secret lover in the past. But because her identity had never been exposed, she could enter the gate of Shen’s house in an upright manner.
She lost a child, but she became pregnant again after she married into the Shen family, therefore her status had become clean. No one had doubted it in the past two decades.
Even the Shen family’s much-loved first grandson was scared out of his mind that night ……
But was she really happy?
Are these changes due to heaven’s compensation or punishment for her?
Her husband was mediocre and lecherous, often messing with women outside. He couldn’t even compete with his younger brother in the family business.
Her son followed his father. Although he was smart, he loved having fun and acted on impulse. He was ultimately inferior to Shen Yijin, and now he was even more…
Moreover, Shen Yijin would get sick on rainy nights. Wasn’t she also the same?
She was tired, tired!
Yang Nianjiao got up from the ground by herself, tears of pain or regret in her eyes.
She was finally taken to the police station under the indifferent sight of everyone.
Jing Xun and Shen Yijin respectfully sent Grandpa Shen back to the car, and then returned to the warehouse to pack things with the others.
Mrs. Yang chose to take risks in order to destroy Shen Yijin, but he unexpectedly investigated her first and found out some clues from that year.
However, after more than 20 years, there was no good way to identify her as the murderer and avenge the mother of Shen beside letting her admit it herself.
In order to really scare her, the restoration of the scene, the image and sound of Shen Yijin’s mother were all indispensable.
Fortunately, the latest equipment from country G that wanted to cooperate with Shen Yijin last time was an instrument that specialized in 3D imaging.
Jing Xun had read the information introduction before, and immediately thought of this kind of instrument.
With sufficiently realistic imaging equipment, all that was left was to completely restore the scenes and characters of the year and edit them into the computer.
This step was not difficult for experienced programmers, but the amount of engineering was huge, and Jing Xun couldn’t do it in a short period of time by himself. Fortunately, Senior could help.
Lastly, to enable the virtual character in the scene to follow the suspect’s words in a step-by-step manner without being seen as flaws, Jing Xun also brought out all his research successes during this period of time–his latest research AI intelligent system could achieve this function.
With everything in place, after a few days of busy work, the scene was reproduced.
Everything was within the plan.
He just didn’t expect that the imaging technology was so realistic, and even a mentally strong person like Mrs. Yang collapsed instantly.
Jing Xun couldn’t help but sigh with Shen Yijin: “It seems that cooperation and capital injection are still necessary. Their technology is amazing.”
“En.” Shen Yijin responded with a smile, and then said: “Xiao Xun and Senior also did a good job with the scenario.”
“You’re flattering me, I’m not worthy of such compliments.” Pei Qingnian said.
He didn’t know since when Shen Yijin followed Jing Xun and started calling him senior.
Jing Xun calling him that was a given.
In any case, the wave of temporary workers who were new to the company was yelling senior sisters and seniors, which made sense.
But what’s the matter with Shen Yijin!
The people in the laboratory looked at him with an unusually strange look!
Pei Qingnian also complained… Tell Mr. Shen not to call him that, he was just a temporary worker who had not even graduated from graduate school!
It’s useless to complain, this pair of husbands didn’t care about his feelings at all!
Later, not only Mr. Shen, but also the assistants, secretaries and supervisors who followed him… OK, Pei Qingnian was now everyone’s senior.
Assistant Xiao Tang on the side said: “Senior, if you’re free in the evening, let’s have a meal together. Boss will treat us right?”
Of course, Shen Yijin didn’t object: “En, you choose the location.”
Today’s matter couldn’t be exposed before they succeed. Those who could be called for help were people whom Shen Yijin absolutely trusts.
So after sending off old man Shen, there were only a few assistants and secretaries of Shen Yijin… and Tang Li, who didn’t go abroad in the end.
Shen Yijin said, “Everyone has worked hard.”
Everyone had been busy working together these days, and it was indeed hard work. Hearing that President Shen was going to treat them, they naturally wanted to relax. Everyone immediately cheered and started discussing where to go.
While everyone was chatting and tidying up, Jing Xun got to Shen Yijin’s side.
To be honest, the scene reproduced just now was indeed too realistic. Even if he missed it a few times during the “rehearsal”, he was still afraid that sir would feel uncomfortable when he saw it, especially when he heard what Mrs. Yang said.
But Shen Yijin didn’t seem to have any unusual reactions.
Instead, when he found Jing Xun cautiously approaching him and anxiously looking at him, Shen Yijin was amused.
He rubbed the young man’s cheek and took the initiative to say: “I’m fine.”
“Mmm.” Jing Xun lowered his head and tidied up the wires on the equipment. That meant, I’m not worried about you.
“Thank you, Xiao Xun.” Shen Yijin said again.
Today’s overall arrangement was in fact simple, but if there was no Jing Xun, it would take months and years to achieve the convincingly realistic scene.
From the moment when the evidence was obtained and they could sentence the murderer, the last bit of obsession in Shen Yijin’s heart also disappeared.
Just now, he really came out.
At this time, staring at the extremely outstanding young man in front of him, seeing his handsome features and eyebrows, Shen Yijin couldn’t help smiling.
Jing Xun: “……”
He accidentally looked him in the eyes, and was awed by those gentle peach blossom eyes of his. Jing Xun turned away embarrassedly after a long time.
Then he was a little angry again.
“Didn’t we agree not to say thank you?” Jing Xun: “This rule was clearly set by you first sir!”
“Okay, then I’ll say something else.” Shen Yijin reached out and pulled him, and lifted his own steps forward, walking directly in front of Jing Xun.
His back was straight, and he looked down at the youth’s eyes slightly, with a bright light in the depth.
Shen Yijin called him.
He said to him solemnly: “I love you, Xiao Xun.”
……
The interlaced hands and the two rings on their ring fingers reflected each other. Jing Xun faintly understood something.
——Sir couldn’t utter a romantic, loving talk.
What Shen Yijin said was the truth.
The friends who were still buzzing about and discussing where they should go next seemed to have noticed that there was much less movement on their side.
But Jing Xun couldn’t care less.
His eyelashes trembled and his heart was boiling hot. He was unable to restrain his shyness, but still insisted on looking straight forward.
Then Jing Xun smiled.
He also said solemnly: “I love you too, sir.”
