Chapter 860: Chapter 860: I’m Begging You

Shen Jing scrutinized the man, his gaze carrying a chilling coldness, causing the man to instinctively straighten his back.

"Go check when the boarding starts." Shen Jing waved the man away.

It was already evening, and for some reason, Shen Jing felt a sense of unease.

Sure enough, before the man returned, someone came over and detained him, with the charge of intentional arson.

The speed was quite fast.

Shen Jing noted this to himself. He stood there, his tall figure seemingly unconcerned, and because they claimed there was an eyewitness, Shen Jing was quickly escorted inside.

Intentional arson—this matter could be big or small, and Shen Jing wasn’t worried.

"Dad, let’s do a paternity test tomorrow," Lian Qingyang remembered after his excitement.

"No need, I trust your mom and your sister." Lian He’s smile curved his eyes, even the tipsiness subsided a lot. He said, "In my heart, I’ve always felt you were my son. That result, I didn’t believe it deep down either."

Now, it turns out that was indeed a mistake.

"Dad." Lian Qingyang was so excited he didn’t know what to say.

"By the way, Dad, Xiang Yazhi got burned. Right now, she’s in the room, and the doctor is treating her." Lian Qingyang suddenly mentioned.

The joy on Lian He’s face instantly dropped, and Lian Tong recounted the earlier events, as well as the incident in the fire.

"Xiao Yang, how could you do such a dangerous thing?" Lian He harshly reprimanded Lian Qingyang. This time, if it weren’t for Si Yu’s people, what if something went wrong? What would Lian Qingyang do then?

"Dad."

Lian Qingyang obediently admitted his mistake. After Lian He had scolded him enough, he said, "Go back to sleep. Tomorrow we’re going back to the Lian Family."

"Yes." Lian Qingyang originally wanted to discuss Xiang Yazhi’s situation but was directly sent back to his room.

In the living room, only Lian He and his sister Lian Tong remained. Lian Tong said, "Brother, Gu Chun has already reported to the police to have Shen Jing detained. By then, he certainly won’t expect Xiang Yazhi not to be dead."

"Mm, don’t worry about the company. I’m also gathering evidence. Once Shen Jing is detained, we’ll find the breakthrough." Lian He said, and the siblings discussed for half the night before leaving.

In the room, Xiang Yazhi was in pain and couldn’t sleep all night.

This wasn’t a hospital. Though Lian Tong found a doctor for treatment, given the situation at the time, Xiang Yazhi had rushed into the fire. Her back and hair were severely burned. As for her hair, even without seeing it, Xiang Yazhi knew it was hopeless.

And then there was her face—her left cheek was also burned. From now on, for the rest of her life, her left cheek would bear a large scar.

Lian Tong laughed until tears came out of her eyes. In the past, because of Xiang Yazhi, she and Gu Chun had separated, and even the split with Lei—it was all Xiang Yazhi’s doing. If it weren’t for her, Gu Chun wouldn’t have left so decisively.

Lian Tong loathed and despised her sister-in-law, Xiang Yazhi.

For years, she avoided returning home not just to face her father and brother but also to avoid Xiang Yazhi’s detestable face.

"Lian Tong, I’m begging you. I want to speak to Qingqing." Xiang Yazhi pleaded.

Lian Tong didn’t refuse but also didn’t say anything more. She turned and left, explaining the situation to Lian Qingyang. Lian Qingyang said, "Aunt, she hasn’t truly given up."

"Hmm?" Lian Tong initially thought Xiang Yazhi was up to some trick but hadn’t thought of it from another angle.

"Let her call Lian Qingqing. But first, you should explain Xiang Yazhi’s current situation to Lian Qingqing." Lian Qingyang spoke warmly, though his dark eyes were filled with coldness.

Lian Tong immediately understood Lian Qingyang’s meaning, gazing at him. She had watched him grow up, though she was less than ten years older. When he was young, Lian Qingyang often followed her around like a little tail, calling "aunt" before and after. Growing up, Lian Qingyang often got into trouble and liked to fight. After every fight, he’d secretly sneak over to her to get medicine.

Lian Tong had lost count of the late nights spent tending to his injuries. Now, that trouble-loving child had grown up.

"Xiao Yang, you’ve thought it through. You’re an adult now. The Lian Clan will be yours in the future. You’re so capable, and I’m happy for you." Lian Tong couldn’t help but redden her eyes, asking, "Did you know before that you weren’t Dad’s child? Is that why you suddenly moved to the company?"

"Aunt, it was Brother-in-law who told me." Lian Qingyang diverted the topic, saying, "Aunt, go make the call quickly. The sooner we get Shen Jing inside, the sooner we can feel at ease."
