She is the most beautiful rose

Chapter 252 Let’s finish it

"Dad, I just saw Mr. Qin! Is Shen Manzhi here too?"

Shen Luo's voice came from outside, sounding a little anxious, and then the voice stopped abruptly. As soon as she approached the yard, she saw Qin Yanfeng at the door and two people in the Zen room.

"Dad...Shen Manzhi?"

She looked puzzled and walked in quickly, "What are you doing here?"

She placed emphasis on the word "here".

Shen Manzhi's gaze, which was originally on Qin Yanfeng, slowly turned to her, as cold as a knife.

Shen Luo shrank back, as if she was suddenly seen through. She quickly walked to the pale-faced Shen Duanwen and asked with concern, "Dad, what's wrong with you? What did Shen Manzhi do to you?"

Shen Duanwen didn't say anything. He looked at the person at the door, then looked at Shen Manzhi. The atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

Shen Luo thought something must have happened. The more she looked at Shen Manzhi, the more upset she became. She walked over and pushed her hard, "What do you want? It's not enough that you've harmed me and my mother, you have to break up our family before you'll stop?"

Shen Manzhi's attention was focused on the person at the door, and she was not aware that her body was shaken by the push. Qin Yanfeng's Adam's apple rolled, and he took two steps towards her, then stopped abruptly.

She glanced sideways and glanced at Shen Duanwen indifferently, and saw guilt and trepidation in his eyes.

You see, even he himself admitted that it was Shen Manzhi who destroyed the peace of his family.

She glanced at Shen Luo and sneered, "You are here too? You are involved too?"

"Never mind her business..."

Shen Duanwen quickly pulled Shen Luo away, his tone a little weak, "It has nothing to do with her."

The way he tried so hard to protect Shen Luo made Shen Manzhi look dazed for a moment, and in the end, he could only smile at himself.

It's like this again. Everything Shen Manzhi does is wrong and is breaking up their "family".

So she stopped talking, walked to the door and stood in front of Qin Yanfeng, her expression calm, "Did you hear it?"

He didn't answer.

Shen Manzhi wanted to pull his hand, but Qin Yanfeng took half a step back, so her hand stopped abruptly in mid-air.

Then she lowered her eyes and curled her lips slightly.

There was a subtle sense of stagnation in the atmosphere between the two people, as if they were oblivious to the surroundings. They looked at each other without avoiding each other, as if they both wanted to see through each other's thoughts.

Even Shen Duanwen and Shen Luo in the room watched quietly without saying a word.

"Two questions."

Shen Manzhi looked at his calm and slightly indifferent expression and nodded gently, "You say."

There was some struggle in Qin Yanfeng's eyes, but the words he spoke were still calm, "The first time I brought you back to the old house, grandpa talked to you alone, and you agreed to get married."

Shen Manzhi waited for him to finish.

"The reason you agreed to get married is to find out about your mother through Grandpa... through the Qin family?"

Just like she was tipsy at the beach last night, she answered honestly without even much hesitation, "Yes."

Qin Yanfeng's eyelashes drooped slightly, and his fingertips trembled slightly. When he raised his eyes again, he was already feeling some indescribable pain.

"Last night you asked me if my closest person was my grandfather. Is that because you have already found out that this matter is related to the Qin family, and you have even thought of a countermeasure?"

Shen Manzhi hesitated for a moment this time, looking into his eyes, feeling a little bitter in her heart, and then she heard her own hoarse voice, "I guess so."

That's...

Qin Yanfeng pursed his lips vaguely, as if compromising, but struggling for one last chance.

"So after we separated in Xincheng, you took the initiative to come back to find me, not because you had any feelings for me that you couldn't let go of, but just wanted to use me... to maintain contact with the Qin family?"

When he spoke the last few words, his voice trembled without him even noticing it, but Shen Manzhi was suddenly stunned.

She looked at the man's affectionate peach blossom eyes, which were gentle and affectionate when he looked at her countless times, and all his preference was given to her alone.

But at this moment there was no love at all, even the tails of her long and beautiful eyes were a little cold, alienated, restrained, and desperate.

He seemed strange and she suddenly couldn't see through him.

This is the third question, and it is understandable whether Shen Manzhi answers it or not.

But after a long time without her reply, Qin Yanfeng already knew the answer in his heart, so he just said two words, "Forget it."

Shen Manzhi's heart tightened and he wanted to pull his hand again. Qin Yanfeng stepped back again, leaning back slightly, with a look of indifference in his half-closed eyes.

A cold and aloof attitude that distances oneself from others.

"Let's finish it."

A loud thunder exploded in the gray sky, splitting the silent space.

It was the first time that Shen Manzhi had such a strong feeling, as if something was being pulled out of her body. It was more terrifying than having her skin peeled off and her cramps pulled out, causing her internal organs to feel unbearable pain.

Qin Yanfeng turned around and walked away without hesitation. Shen Manzhi followed him for two steps, but finally just went down the stairs and stopped again.

Until Qin Yanfeng's back completely disappeared from sight, a hole appeared in the sky and heavy rain came as expected.

Shen Manzhi was soaked instantly.

She tilted her head slightly, her shoulders slumped slightly, it was hard to see the decadence in her, but it seemed as if she had been relieved of a heavy burden.

Shen Luo came out with Shen Duanwen, the two of them holding an umbrella. She did not forget to walk over and humiliate him severely, "Shen Manzhi, a cold-blooded person like you deserves this. No one wanted you before, and no one wants you now. You deserve to live alone for the rest of your life!"

Shen Duanwen pulled her back and looked at Shen Manzhi standing in the rain with an expressionless face, with a look of pity between his eyebrows, "Manzhi, don't stand outside, you..."

"dad!"

Shen Luo pulled him back, her tone was indulgent, and she looked at Shen Manzhi with disdain, "She is so cold and indifferent to you, why do you still care about her? She is an ungrateful person, and the best thing for you to do is not to be soft-hearted towards her..."

Shen Duanwen wanted to say something, but Shen Luo forced him to walk away by the arm. The father and daughter supported each other and whispered to each other as they left the west wing.

The rain was pouring down without a sleepless night.

Shen Manzhi stood outside the courtyard and closed his eyes gently.

After a long time, an umbrella was held above her head. Baihu stood beside her, tilting the umbrella handle towards her, and put the cloak in his hand on her. When he touched the woman's shoulders, Baihu was slightly stunned. Ancestor, are you shaking?

A young monk wearing a bamboo hat hurriedly came around the corner of the pavilion, holding a long-handled black umbrella in his arms.

Shen Manzhi's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the umbrella with some lifeless eyes.

It was the spare umbrella that Qin Yanfeng had placed in the car because he saw the weather was going to rain today.

She raised her hand and touched the peace locket below her collarbone through her clothes.

Bai Hu noticed that she looked a little strange, "Ancestor?"

Shen Manzhi came back to his senses and walked out of the courtyard.

The young monk ran over and adjusted his bamboo hat, "Donor, someone left an umbrella for you."

Shen Manzhi did not stop walking, and said coldly, "Throw it away."

Baihu blinked, and the young monk was also stunned.

In the end, the two of them were unable to enjoy the couple-themed Cantonese cuisine in the city center.

The weather was getting colder and colder. Baihu was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he turned on the heater and drove very fast on the way back to the city.

Shen Manzhi sat in the back, wiping his hair with a towel intermittently, and he was eerily quiet.

Baihu glanced at her several times in the rearview mirror, then suddenly looked away.

The car was parked in the underground parking lot at the end of Beijing. Shen Manzhi did not move, and Baihu did not dare to urge him at this time.

After a long while, she finally spoke, "Did Du Heping explain anything?"

When it comes to this, Bai Hu is in a dilemma. "No, he is very stubborn and firmly believes that his daughter is still under the care of Shen Duanwen's men. He refuses to say anything. He holds the evidence against those thieves. If we investigate alone, the timeline will be too far away. Besides, the other party already knows that we are investigating, so they will definitely be more cautious, for fear of alerting the enemy."

Shen Manzhi took out the small voice recorder from his jacket pocket and placed it on the center console. "Go back and play it for him."

It was the conversation between Shen Duanwen and another strange man in the temple just now.

Bai Hu responded, thinking of the black-clothed men who appeared out of nowhere and disappeared quickly in the temple, and looked in the rearview mirror, "Did Qing Que bring anyone here?"

Shen Manzhi lifted his hair, opened the door and got out of the car, "Well, get ready and take me back to Beijing in a few days."

Baihu didn't dare to leave her alone, so he quickly chased after her and walked behind her, "Okay."

Shen Manzhi ignored him and went straight back to his room on the fifth floor.

In the next few days, Shen Manzhi did not go out. The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were closed, and only the floor lamp in front of the computer desk was on. It was impossible to distinguish between night and day in the room.

She was curled up in a computer chair, wearing headphones around her neck, her ten fingers leaving afterimages as she jumped back and forth between thousands of IP addresses in different regions, overlaying a vest to enter private accounts, and copying and pasting commands one by one into separate folders, each named after the first letter of a surname.

This information then flows to the Internet through some very circuitous channels and is pushed to the public.

In just a few days, such as "business tycoon Qiu Qiming won over connections and opened a gray industry chain for illegal transactions", and Deputy Director Zhang of the Marine Surveillance Bureau profited millions of yuan by abusing his position and mixing up his duties during his tenure...

Several famous "big guys" who are followed by countless people have become the new topic in the circle.

Shen Manzhi took off his headphones and casually hung them around his neck, then leaned back in the chair and rubbed his head.

She did a lot, her tinnitus became more and more severe, she started to have headaches at night, and she didn't have a good night's sleep.

She picked up the cigarette on the table, tilted her head and lit it, then half-closed her eyes and her gaze fell on the various comment section on the screen, which gradually turned into a blurred mosaic.

After working non-stop for several days, her mind suddenly went blank and even her breathing became stagnant, making her feel a stuffy pain in her chest. The cigarette in her mouth suddenly lost its bitterness and she could not taste anything.

Jingmo returned to Huaicheng these two days. When he went to find Shen Manzhi at night, he found her asleep in the computer chair, her face terribly pale.

Shen Manzhi was sick. The doctor said it was not a serious illness, just nervous weakness. He gave her an IV and told her to rest.

There was no one on duty that night, so Shen Ci rushed over in the middle of the night, opened his own medical kit to do a skin test and draw blood for her, and then took out some miscellaneous small items and a micro monitor and put them on her forehead for examination.

Shen Manzhi was a light sleeper to begin with, and he sat up expressionlessly as he looked at what Shen Ci was doing to him.

Shen Ci took the initiative, his expression serious, "Why did your neuron activity suddenly change so much?"

Shen Manzhi closed his eyes and asked calmly, "Is it serious?"

This time it was Shen Ci who looked at her expressionlessly, "Once you have an attack, you will torture me so much that I won't be able to get up tomorrow."

Shen Manzhi seemed to be amused, half-opened his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Isn't this a bit ambiguous?"

"I'm talking to you about something serious! There are precedents. Although that person deserved it, you..."

"Shen Ci."

Shen Manzhi called him and said with a half-smile, "Don't wipe out my last desire to live."

Shen Ci was in a complicated mood, his brows slightly frowned, "When will you go back for treatment?"

Shen Manzhi tilted his head and coughed twice, "In two days."

"Do you think you have time now?"

"I have something else to tell you."

Shen Ci had no influence on her decision and was packing his things in silence when his wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Shen Manzhi looked up at him and said softly, "Give me an injection of medicine."

Shen Ci pursed his lips and didn't move.

"If you let me play by myself, I'll play two."

Shen Ci said angrily, "Are you crazy?"

The sedative specially formulated for the serum in Shen Manzhi's body was not a good thing in the first place. He would not give it to her unless it was absolutely necessary. How could this person want two at once?
He was a little impatient, "Haven't you cut off your relationship with your Qin family member yet?"

Shen Manzhi's eyes moved slightly, "...It's not him."

He said it was over, it was all over.

In just half a second, she returned to her cold and indifferent look.

"It's about my mother. I don't have time. I want to go back to Beijing and find someone to help me."
