Hearing this, Shen Yanche couldn't stay calm either. He immediately stood beside his father and directly accused Tan Linyuan, "Tan Linyuan, don't think you can be unreasonable just because you have some status in the Chamber of Commerce!"
Tan Linyuan was on the verge of a furious outburst at this moment.
His last bit of reason and Buddha - like calm was on the verge of collapse at any moment.
He didn't know where Nan Yu was now.
He wasn't sure if she was safe, if she was extremely scared, or if she was expecting him to rescue her.
He had promised her that he wouldn't let her get hurt again.
But he broke his promise.
Actually, when Nan Yu discussed the plan with him, he had guessed that such a situation might occur.
But he thought it would just be a simple confinement. He never expected that Shen Suhai would transfer her.
That's right, the study was empty.
He could have reminded Nan Yu at that time. He could have told her that there might be danger, but he didn't.
He had wanted to play along with the plan to expose more of the Shen family's misdeeds.
But now he regretted it.
How could he be so over - confident as to use Nan Yu's safety as a bargaining chip?
Tan Linyuan, you're extremely stupid!
Shen Yanche still kept chattering away, as if he had caught hold of something. "Moreover, you slept with Nan Yu! Aren't you ashamed? Nan Yu used to be my fiancée!"
Whether it was true or not, anyway, Shen Yanche wanted to smear Tan Linyuan.
Whether it was a monk breaking his vows or sleeping with another man's fiancée, it would be enough to cause trouble for Tan Linyuan.
Wasn't he supposed to be high - minded and self - proclaimed as a living Buddha?
"I didn't expect that the so - called god who is always praised for his purity and detachment in Jiangcheng would actually sleep with a woman, and even with a junior's fiancée!"
Shen Yanche thought the fire wasn't hot enough and kept adding fuel to it. "I bet in a few days, Nan Yu might even give birth to your child!"
If Shen Yanche hadn't mentioned this, it would have been okay. But once he did, he felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.
He had originally thought that he was the one who had let down Nan Yu and Wen Ying by having a foot in two boats. But he didn't expect that they had both played him.
One had presumably slept with Tan Linyuan, and the other had even gotten pregnant by another man.
These two cuckold situations were really embarrassing for him!
Tan Linyuan turned his head in response.
His eyes stared at Shen Yanche, and the bottomless pupils made Shen Yanche feel scared.
It was the kind of oppression and intimidation that only a superior could impose.
It made people tremble with fear.
Shen Yanche still wanted to add insult to injury a few more times, but feeling the cold gaze, he immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word.
Only Shen Suhai still dared to speak, his tone full of sarcasm. "Does he even deserve to have a child?"
"Even if a woman got pregnant with his child, it would be killed by him. He is just an unpopular dog."
"He used to be the watchdog of Master Wenjing, and now he is the watchdog of the Tan family. Anyway, he is just a dog. What's the difference?"
Tan Linyuan's pupils shrank instantly, and a chilling killing intent rose around him.
Before he could explode, Liang Yi rushed in directly. He had heard the humiliation of Tan Linyuan just now, and his anger flared up. He waved his fist and was about to punch Shen Suhai in the face. "You old bastard! You're used to relying on your seniority. Do you really think we dare not hit you?"
"Don't hit my dad!" At this moment, Shen Yanche showed his filial piety. He rushed up and blocked Liang Yi, pushing him away forcefully with an indignant look on his face. "You're not allowed to hit my dad!"
"Okay, fine." Liang Yi paused, glanced at Shen Yanche, nodded, and showed a cooperative attitude. "I won't hit him. Then I'll hit you."
The next second, he punched Shen Yanche in the face. The sound of the fist hitting the flesh was very loud, and blood immediately oozed out.
Shen Yanche let out a miserable scream and immediately regretted being a hero just now. "Ah! It hurts! Stop hitting me!"
"Damn it. Didn't you say I could hit you?"
Liang Yi felt that it wasn't enough, so he punched a few more times until he knocked Shen Yanche unconscious on the ground with blood all over his face.
This young master of the Liang family was also well - known as a troublemaker. The servants of the Shen family watched their young master being beaten, their hearts in their throats, but they didn't dare to step forward to stop it.
"Good - for - nothing."
Liang Yi stood up, shook his hand in disgust, and gave a middle finger to the unconscious Shen Yanche on the ground. "A weakling pretending to be a hero. Trash."
Even Shen Suhai, who was usually strict with his son, couldn't sit still at this moment. "Who allowed you to beat my son right under my nose? This is an act of rebellion!"
Liang Yi flexed his wrists and walked closer to Shen Suhai. "What? I haven't had enough. Do you want to share some of his pain?"
Shen Suhai shivered in fear. He almost dropped his walking stick and glared at Liang Yi. "Young Master Liang, today is a happy day for our Shen family. You've caused such a ruckus in my house. You've really disappointed your parents!"
Liang Yi hated it when others mentioned his parents. This remark was like stepping on his minefield, and the anger that had just subsided flared up again. "Damn it, you old bastard. Look at this shabby house of yours. It looks like it's been bombed. People who don't know might think it's a war zone. Is there any need for me to cause more of a ruckus?"
Although his words were crude, they made sense. The Shen family did look like they had just been through a tough battle.
"Tell my parents? I'm twenty - six years old. I'm an adult. My family can't control me. Are you using the kindergarten approach? At your age, you have no shame at all."
His mouth was so fast that it seemed to be sparking. He didn't give Shen Suhai any chance to interrupt.
Shen Suhai was so angry that his hypertension was about to flare up again.
"You're disrespectful to the elderly and making a fool of yourself. Since you're about to die, you should save some dignity for yourself. Look at your face. It's almost on the ground."
Shen Suhai was so angry that his eyes were popping out. He waved his hand and told the servant to get his heart - saving pills.
"Liang Yi." Tan Linyuan called him.
"Coming, coming. Don't rush."
Liang Yi knew when to stop. Seeing that the old man was extremely angry, he was satisfied. He turned around and smiled at Tan Linyuan. "I'm here, young master. Where's the room?"
Liang Yi had been called by Tan Linyuan.
"The study at the corner on the second floor." Tan Linyuan said calmly.
He seemed completely unaffected by Shen Suhai's harsh words just now. "Let's go up and find her first."
The two of them went up to the second floor as if no one else was around.
Shen Suhai was so angry that he hit his walking stick on the ground. "Who allowed you to wander around my Shen family's house at will? Butler, drive them out!"
The butler looked embarrassed and didn't move for a long time.
"Old Yu! Are you too old to understand what I'm saying?"
"Sir... Young Master Liang just called the police. The police cars are already at the door."
...
Liang Yi usually seemed unreliable, but he was really good at the art of divination and other esoteric things. He also liked to explore strange and unusual paths.
Two years ago, he even went tomb - raiding in the southwest with a group. He excitedly invited Tan Linyuan to go with him, but Tan Linyuan refused because he was worried that digging out Buddha statues would offend the Buddha.
Liang Yi laughed at Tan Linyuan for being timid. But when he went tomb - raiding himself, he only dug out some porcelain after a long time. There were no precious treasures from a thousand years ago as he had expected. He casually donated them to the local museum and even got a pennant.
This showed that Liang Yi had in - depth knowledge of these esoteric things. He could even be said to be gifted.
He first observed at the door of the study for a while. He noticed the broken door lock first and couldn't help but click his tongue. "Did you do this?"
