Spring Branches

"Next step... let me think about it."

The strange man did not appear in any corner of the factory during the entire process.

Only in one room, there was a huge screen, and the screen corresponded to Lu Yichuan. The room was surrounded by black-clad bodyguards, and Tang Shiyan and Ana were also in the same room.

Tang Shiyan looked at Xiaoxiao in such a state and appeared unusually calm, as if the girl in front of her was not her granddaughter, but a stranger who had nothing to do with her.

After a few glances, Tang Shiyan withdrew her gaze and put it on the female teacher again. Since entering the room, Tang Shiyan's eyes have been on the female teacher.

The female teacher looked almost exactly like her beloved daughter, and she seemed to have mistaken the female teacher for Tang Asi.

Ana withdrew her gaze from Tang Shiyan and looked at Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of tears. She stared at Lu Yichuan on the screen, her hands clenched into fists.

He sighed softly and left the room silently.

Ana came to another building in the abandoned factory and went up to the second floor.

In the innermost room, two bodyguards in black stood at the door.

"Sorry, you can't go in," said the bodyguard.

Ana glared at the bodyguard coldly: "Get out of the way."

"The master has instructed that no one is allowed to enter." The bodyguard continued to block them, unwilling to let Ana in.

Ana has lost her patience.

Without saying a word, he slapped the two bodyguards in front of him one by one. After that, he tried to go in, but was stopped by the bodyguards at the door.

"sorry."

Ah Na was so angry that he kicked the door and shouted inside: "Shen Jingyang! Open the door!"

"You are not to make any loud noises, Young Master's orders."

"I don't give a fuck about you."

"sorry!"

"roll!"

"sorry!"

Ana lost her patience.

Just as he was hesitating to attack the two bodyguards at the door again, the door was pushed open from the inside.

The figure of Young Master Shen appeared inside.

He smiled and pulled Ana, who was at the door, in.

"My dear, didn't I tell you not to come here? Why are you here?" Young Master Shen pulled Ana to sit on the sofa and kissed her on the lips.

Ah Na glared at Master Shen, pushed him away, and said unhappily, "Go away, I'm still mad at you."

"What's wrong? I didn't provoke you." Young Master Shen pretended to be a victim and innocent.

He stood up and followed Ana.

Young Master Shen tried to grab An Na's waist again, but An Na pushed him away.

Ah Na said, "You did all those bad things. Don't you know it in your heart? What did you promise me at the beginning? You would never do anything cruel to him. Why did you chop off all his fingers? You really make me angry."

Young Master Shen's face also turned gloomy.

He didn't say anything, his eyes fixed on the pile of junk downstairs.

The air became oppressive and quiet.

The atmosphere remained deadlocked for quite a while, and finally Ana said something soft.

He grabbed Master Shen's arms and coaxed him, "Don't be angry. I didn't mean that. I didn't blame you."

Young Master Shen still didn't say anything and turned his head away.

Ana sighed softly, stood on tiptoe and kissed Mr. Shen gently on the lips, and said again: "Baby, pay attention to me."

"..."

Young Master Shen remained unmoved.

This really made Ana angry.

He should be the one who is angry, right? Why is he getting angry with him?

Before they were together, Young Master Shen stuck to Ana like a dog-skin plaster and listened to her in everything. But after they were together, everything changed.

Ah Na had the upper hand over Master Shen, so no matter what he wanted to do to him, he couldn't resist. He could only obey his orders.

When Mr. Shen's attitude towards her changed, Ana was already thinking about how to leave him.

He was unhappy, but Master Shen could always make him happy. Ah Na thought that Master Shen would not make the same mistake again, and they would be fine next time. But the next time the same thing happened, he made him happy again, and he thought he would change again. Over and over again, Master Shen did not change. On the contrary, Ah Na had fallen deeply in love with Master Shen and could not leave him.

Ana walked silently to the sofa and sat down.

He said no more.

Mr. Shen frowned, pressed the power button of the earphones beside his ears, and said coldly to Lu Yichuan: "I have thought of the next step. I think your mouth is very annoying, I want to see you cut it off."

"..."

What a perverted method.

He looked extremely calm when he said this.

It's like explaining something that is perfectly normal.

Ana looked up at Master Shen, then lowered her head again.

He reached for a box of cigarettes on the coffee table, took one out and put it in his mouth, lit it, and slowly smoked it.

Not knowing what Lu Yichuan said, Master Shen cursed angrily, then said in a rage: "Don't push your luck, I still have your people in my hands. If you want them to live, just do as I say!"

In less than ten seconds, Ana finished smoking a cigarette.

So he lit up a second cigarette.

Young Master Shen laughed coldly again and said, "Lu Yichuan, my patience is limited. I will give you three minutes to think about it. I want a satisfactory answer from you later. If I am not satisfied with your answer, I will chop off one of your precious daughter's fingers until you are willing to cut off your mouth."

Then, Mr. Shen put his fingers on the earphones and turned on the key.

He turned around and looked at Ana coldly, and said solemnly: "Did I let you smoke?"

"..."

Ana had already started smoking her third cigarette and didn't even look up at Master Shen.

Young Master Shen was a little angry that he was being ignored.

What he hates most is the feeling of being ignored by others.

Ana knew this, but ignored it!

"Anah, what do you mean?" Young Master Shen walked up to Anah.

Ana sighed softly and shook his head slowly, "I'm tired."

"Raise your head, look me in the eyes and talk to me." Young Master Shen said through gritted teeth.

Ana didn't do it this time.

Young Master Shen was almost angry to death.

He pinched Ana's chin violently, forcing him to raise his head and look at him.

"Ah, look me in the eyes and repeat what you just said."

"I said I'm tired." Ana's tone was relieved.

Light and airy.

Ana has never felt as relaxed as she does today.

It was as if some part of my body was relieved.

My mood suddenly became cheerful.

"You're exhausting your mother!" Young Master Shen was furious. He grabbed An Na's neck again, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "An Na, this is the last time I hear you say something like this. If you dare to say it again next time, I will definitely break your legs!"

After a second, Young Master Shen changed his mind again.

He added: "I won't break your legs. I can't bear to do that. But I will make you watch the people you care about disappear from your sight one by one."

"You're a fucking lunatic!" Ah Na shouted, shaking off Master Shen's hand. "You used everyone. You hypnotized their memories, making them watch helplessly as the people they cared about fell down before their eyes. How could you be so vicious?"

Young Master Shen raised his head and slowly closed his eyes. He exhaled softly and said, "He killed the person I loved the most. He took away the love and life that originally belonged to me when I was a child. Do you think I should kill him?"

Young Master Shen slowly turned his gaze towards Ana again, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

More than 20 years ago, an extremely tragic farce took place in this place.

In the cognition of Mr. Shen, he is not a child of the Shen family, but a child of the Lu family, and a child with the same father and mother as Lu Yichuan. The elders of the Lu family caused this tragedy. They all believed that Mr. Shen was Lu Yichuan's mother, and the child she conceived after being drugged was a bastard, so they gave Mr. Shen away when he was born. Many years later, the two brothers met in this factory. Mr. Shen knew his identity and hated that his life was taken away, so he wanted to kill him here and endure the most painful insults and torture. Fortunately, when Lu Yichuan was about to die, the elders of the Lu family appeared and stopped this farce. They were also afraid that Lu Yichuan would be affected by this incident when he grew up, so they cleared his memory from his mind. Mr. Shen's lame leg was broken by the elders of the Lu family before, and he has always been brooding and remembering it in his heart. Thinking that one day he would repay Lu Yichuan with the same pain and torture double.

He believed that everything Lu Yichuan was going through now was retribution.

He blamed the world, and even more so the ruthlessness of the Lu family elders.

Young Master Shen couldn't do anything to the elders of the Lu family, but as long as he tortured their most beloved and valued grandson to a point of complete exhaustion, it could be considered a form of revenge on them.

"Jingyang, some things are just your one-sided thinking. We can sit down and have a good talk. Your behavior is wrong. You are too radical. This will also affect our future."

"..."

"I can tell you still think I'm lying."

"I did not mean that."

"Okay, stop talking." A cruel light appeared in Master Shen's eyes: "Today, either I die or he dies."

"Jingyang, I don't want to see you go on like this. I really feel bad for you."

"Hehe, do you feel sorry for me or for your boss?" Young Master Shen looked Ana up and down, and finally his gaze stopped on Ana's eyes and sneered.

"I hate your idea. You know I like you." Ana said, "I have never loved someone so much."

Five minutes are up.

Young Master Shen did not give Ana a chance to speak and walked back to the large floor-to-ceiling window.

He stood there coldly again and turned on the headset.

Young Master Shen said, "Lu Yichuan, have you made up your mind?"

Lu Yichuan didn't say anything.

The severed finger was bleeding, dripping onto the cement bricks.

Suddenly, Young Master Shen controlled the remote control in his hand, and only a small figure appeared on the TV in front of him.

They are on video and can feel each other's presence.

"Let the little girl speak."

"..." The bodyguard in black kicked Xiaoxiao hard, but Xiaoxiao didn't say anything.

"..."

This kick really hurt Lu Yichuang's heart.

At the same time, he was even more angry, his internal organs were about to explode, and he had deeply memorized the face of the bodyguard in black.

When he gets out, he will cut the black-clad bodyguards into pieces and feed them to the pigs.

"I told you not to lift a finger against Xiao Xiao." Lu Yichuan gritted his teeth and said, "If you want me to obey your orders, you must keep the hostage intact."

"Then do as I tell you." Young Master Shen laughed sarcastically, "No matter how long it takes, you'll always be like this. You know, Lu Yichuan, this attitude of yours is the most annoying, I wish I could tear you into pieces! Do you think everyone loves you? Only you? No! Just like this child, not everyone loves her and will give her their heart wholeheartedly."

"It's enough for me to love my daughter," Lu Yichuan said. "Whether other people love her or not has nothing to do with me."

Young Master Shen sneered: "You don't care about the love others have for you, including all the elders of the Lu family?"

"I do not care."

Master Shen said, "You are just a tool in the hands of those old people. You are like a dog to them. No matter how hard you wag your tail at them, they won't appreciate it. So you are the only one in the world who loves yourself, so you shouldn't expect many people to love your daughter."

"..."

Lu Yichuang was a little confused.

What is the other side saying?

Why did they talk about deepening the family relationship with the elders of the Lu family when they were clearly talking about a deal? Could this person be related to the elders of the Lu family? Was it a blood feud?

Lu Yichuan seemed to have found some opportunities in the words of the person on the other side.

He deliberately said: "Then at least I love myself, my daughter loves me, and what about you, no one loves you?"

"Bullshit!" The person on the other side suddenly got angry and said in a cracked voice: "As long as I have the most powerful people in the world, everyone will rely on me and they will all love me."

"Then no one loves you now."

Ana walked up slowly and gently patted Master Shen on the shoulder.

Master Shen looked at Ana.

Ana smiled sweetly at him and nodded.

He is loved by someone, and the silly boy in front of him loves him.

Mr. Shen said: "If someone loves me, he will betray his boss who has been with him for many years for me. It is enough for him to love me."

After saying that, Young Master Shen grabbed Ana's hand.

He would betray his boss, whom he had worked for many years, for me.

From this sentence, Lu Yichuan got the clue.

He guessed who was on the other side.

Just as I was about to say the name, I heard an "Ah" and then the sound of something falling from the sky rang in my ears.
