Chapter 314 Dreams, Past Life, Present Life

After considering it for a moment, Qiao Changdong decided to drive there, and he even drove his own truck. His truck had a special sleeping area in the back, where Qiao Qiao and Yan Liti could lie down and rest when they were tired.

When it comes to driving, he and Wang Jun can take turns driving.

In the afternoon, Shen Qingyan, who was making a point of spending time playing with her daughter, received a message from Kyoto.

The Shen Family Manor was raided.

All eight servants, including Old Master Shen, were taken away.

This news was like a bomb, stunning everyone in Kyoto once again, following Shen Qingyan's severing of ties with Old Master Shen.

Many people began to speculate and doubt.

Was this done by Shen Qingyan?

Shen Qingrong has not been released yet, and his life or death is unknown. At this time, the fact that Old Master Shen is in trouble makes people suspect that Shen Qingyan was behind it.

When Grandpa Tan heard the news, he was stunned.

Like everyone else, his first reaction was, "This was done by Shen Qingyan?"

But he quickly rejected the idea, feeling that given Shen Qingyan's character, he wouldn't lay a hand on Old Master Shen, who was innocent in this matter.

Shen Qingyan did not respond to the questions raised by the outside world.

As early as the evening of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he had spoken with Grandpa Shen on the phone.

Let's rewind to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Shen Qingyan wanted to finish things in Baoyi City before the Lantern Festival so he could accompany the Qiao family back to the capital.

Shen Qingrong has not been released and remains in custody.

He needs to go back and handle this personally.

Now that the person has been arrested, even if they can't be killed directly, releasing them is out of the question, and it's impossible for them to be released in this lifetime.

He received a call from Grandpa Shen on the very night he returned to Baoyi City.

Shen Qingyan knew that with Old Master Shen's abilities, he must have already found what he needed, but he didn't expect that he would be stumped by a question from Old Master Shen.

What Old Master Shen said at the time was: "I've investigated, and I believe what you said, but Qingyan..."

When Mr. Shen got to this point, he paused for a moment.

Shen Qingyan thought he was going to speak up for Shen Qingrong again.

But to everyone's surprise, Old Master Shen's next question was: "But Qingyan, are you sure you're the only one in this world who has lived a second life?"

Shen Qingyan was stunned.

"How did Shen Qingrong know there was a letter in your study? Have you checked?" Old Master Shen asked again on the other end of the phone.

"Did he come into your study solely because of this letter, or did he happen to see it for some other purpose? Have you analyzed that?"

Shen Qingyan had a sudden epiphany at that moment.

He had always felt that he had overlooked something.

It wasn't until this moment, when Old Master Shen pointed it out, that he suddenly understood. Yes, he had been overlooking this point all along.

How did Shen Qingrong know there was a letter in his study?

Was it to obtain other secrets and that they just happened to run into each other, or was it their original purpose?

At that moment, Shen Qingyan felt a chill run down his spine.

Could it be that Shen Qingrong, like his daughter, also experienced a second life?

After that, Old Master Shen said a lot more, but Shen Qingyan didn't listen carefully. His mind was filled with Old Master Shen's question.

Grandpa Shen asked him again, "Qingyan, have you blamed your father all these years?"

Shen Qingyan replied, "I don't blame you."

Perhaps when he was young, he wondered why his father was more gentle and attentive to others than to him, and he was disappointed by this.

However, he has always been rather indifferent.

He doesn't covet things he can't have.

Moreover, even though Grandpa Shen didn't pay much attention to him, Yan Liti and several of his uncles from the Yan family treated him very well.

The kindness shown to him by the Yan family was enough to make up for the lack of paternal love he received from Old Master Shen.

"I just hope you won't stop me," Shen Qingyan said.

"I'm sorry, Dad just..."

Old Master Shen came from a time of war and had witnessed too much life and death.

In his eyes, nothing in life matters except life and death.

Wealth is not really important, which is why he thought of saving Shen Qingrong's life when he believed that Shen Qingrong stole the letter for wealth.

He didn't expect that Shen Qingrong was after human lives, not wealth.

This crossed his bottom line.

"Dad knows what to do," were the words Grandpa Shen said as he hung up the phone.

Now, recalling that phone call, Shen Qingyan seemed to understand what Old Master Shen meant by what he said on the phone.

"Really? They're investigating? What did that old man do?"

Yan Liti was sitting behind Qiao Qiao, using a small comb to tie her hair into a small bun, when she heard Shen Qingyan's retelling and was shocked.

Perhaps because she spent a lot of time with the Qiao family in Hongfeng Town, Yan Liti's accent has picked up the local dialect, and she often says things like "something something".

Shen Qingyan didn't speak, his gaze falling on the little girl in her arms.

Shen Qingyan then used the same questions that Old Master Shen had asked him to ask Qiao Qiao.

"Baby, is there anyone else who, like you, has been reborn?"

"Why did Shen Qingrong know that the letter was in my study?"

Qiao Qiao was stunned.

She had never thought about this question.

Xiao Yuan said that the world they live in is a book, and since it is a book, the author can arrange it however they want.
