Chapter 346 Shen Lu and Shen Qingrong Cling to Each Other

“It’s not like that anymore.” Shen Qingyan said coldly as he pushed the newspaper that had been distributed throughout Kyoto, which had published the article severing the father-son relationship, in front of Shen Qingrong.

Shen Qingrong stared at the newspaper.

I still can't believe it.

This is true.

Before he could even process what had happened, Shen Qingyan dropped another bombshell in his ear—

"As for your daughter Shen Lu, she is quite capable, able to foresee the future... She has been sent to the Institute of Biology, and I believe the research results will be available soon."

boom!

Shen Qingrong's pupils suddenly contracted.

Upon noticing the change in Shen Qingrong's expression, Shen Qingyan's gaze instantly sharpened.

If Shen Qingyan and Old Master Shen had only suspected before that the person who might be reborn was Shen Qingrong's daughter, Shen Lu.

Seeing Shen Qingrong's series of reactions, Shen Qingyan was absolutely certain that Shen Lu was the unexpected one.

That person who, like Qiao Qiao, may have been given a second chance at life.

As for why the suspicion falls on Shen Lu, rather than Shen Qingrong or Shen Li.

That was an analysis made by Shen Qingyan based on the information given to him by Old Master Shen and the dreams that Qiao Qiao had.

Shen Qingyan and Shen Lu had no interaction.

However, after meeting Shen Lu several times, the last time Shen Lu acted strangely in front of him, Shen Lu had already aroused his suspicion.

Later, when Bi Yatong drove away with Shen Lu and Shen Li, Old Master Shen not only had a listening device installed in Bi Yatong's car, but also had people follow the mother and daughters all the way.

He heard Shen Lu and Bi Yatong's argument clearly.

A child who is not yet nine years old.

It seems rather abnormal that she would advise her parents to divorce and abandon her father in order to save herself.

Moreover, the maturity and ruthlessness in what Shen Lu said through the listening device back then didn't sound like something a child could say.

At that time, Mr. Shen suspected that Shen Lu was the mastermind behind the whole incident.

She is very likely the one who has been given a second chance at life.

However, Old Master Shen also understood that, whether in the eyes of Shen Qingrong or the mother and her two daughters, he was their last resort.

So Old Master Shen then devised a plan to have someone investigate the Shen family manor and take him away.

The goal was to break down the psychological defenses of the mother and daughter, as well as Shen Qingrong, and let them know that even he couldn't protect them.

Just before meeting Shen Qingrong, Shen Qingyan had spoken with Old Master Shen on the phone.

After exchanging information, both Shen Qingyan and Old Master Shen were absolutely certain that Shen Lu was the one who might have been reborn and possessed foresight, leading Shen Qingrong to steal the letter.

Seeing Shen Qingrong's reaction now, Shen Qingyan was even more certain.

"I...I don't know what you're talking about!"

After Shen Qingrong's pupils contracted sharply, she forced herself to calm down.

He looked away and said, "Don't talk nonsense. You're attacking a child without any evidence. Is this the style of a soldier?"

Shen Qingrong's heart was pounding violently.

The fact that Shen Qingyan would harm his own father was already unbelievable to him.

But what he didn't expect was that Shen Qingyan also knew about something he had been keeping as a secret weapon!

How is this possible?!

That's absolutely impossible!!!

He never revealed this to anyone.

Only he and Shen Lu knew about that letter; even his wife, Bi Yatong, didn't know, so Shen Qingyan couldn't possibly know.

He must be bluffing!

Seeing Shen Qingrong trying to remain calm, Shen Qingyan didn't waste any more words, but instead took out a small radio.

Press the button.

After a burst of noise, several conversations could be heard coming from inside.

Grandpa Shen, I think my father did something very wrong. It's understandable that Uncle Shen is angry. No matter what Uncle Shen does, I will support his decision.

Shen Qingrong's expression changed because he recognized the voice as his daughter's, Shen Lu's.

He frowned and looked at Shen Qingyan, not understanding why he was playing such a recording for him.

Then I heard the following conversation.

Even execution?

That's Grandpa Shen's voice.

Upon hearing the word "execution," Shen Qingrong's heart leaped into her throat.

So much so that when Shen Lu’s incredibly firm “yes” reached Shen Qingrong’s ears, it sounded like a thunderclap.

--yes!

—Lu'er!

"Mom, Dad really did make a mistake. Our teacher said that even the emperor is subject to the same laws as the common people. No matter who it is, if they make a mistake, they should be punished. This is a matter of course. We shouldn't be making things difficult for Grandpa Shen."

These recordings were so clear that Shen Qingrong couldn't even hypnotize himself into thinking he had misheard them.

Shen Lu, his daughter, actually said that it was only natural for him to be executed!

Shen Qingyan didn't give Shen Qingrong much time to process it.

Then another recording was played.

There was some background noise during the recording, but it was still clear; it was a conversation between Shen Lu and Bi Yatong.

—Dad is beyond saving. In the whole of Kyoto, who dares to protect Dad? Dad went into Uncle Shen's study, which is a military secret, a secret place that could cost the whole family their heads!

—Just like Grandpa Shen said, if Dad keeps his mouth shut, but they have evidence that Dad did pass by Uncle Shen's study, then our whole family will have to go in! Not just you, I'm afraid my sister and I won't be able to escape either.
