BXBX NOVEL Chapter 210 - 210 Do You Want Me to Accompany You?
Sang Pengcheng could not stay for long.
On the day Sang Qianqian and Shen Hanyu sent him off, it started to rain in the capital.
Sang Pengcheng’s eyes were filled with tears. “Hanyu, take good care of Qianqian. You can’t let anything happen to her.”
!!
He didn’t know about the existence of that dream, and he wasn’t particularly clear about the past between Sang Minglang and Ruan Xiaoshuang.
Sang Pengcheng thought that his son’s sudden disappearance was fishy. He thought maybe Sang Minglang had offended someone and suffered from the other party’s malicious revenge.
That was why he was especially worried about his daughter’s safety.
Actually, he had wanted Sang Qianqian to return to Yuecheng. However, his daughter might not be safer by his side than Shen Hanyu.
So, after much thought, he finally returned to Yuecheng alone.
The plane glided off and disappeared into the misty sky.
Sang Qianqian cried uncontrollably. Shen Hanyu held her in his arms and comforted her silently.
That night, Sang Qianqian could not fall asleep no matter what.
She still remembered that it was still snowing heavily when she and her brother had first arrived in the capital.
It was a cold winter.
However, it was already spring in the capital.
The spring rain was drizzling. The peach flowers in the courtyard were destroyed by the rain, and broken petals fell on the ground.
Sang Qianqian stood in front of the flower tree for a long time as she recalled the night before she and her brother left Ming City.
She asked her brother if they would be able to return safely.
The brother smiled and replied firmly, “Yes.”
But now, his whereabouts were unknown, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead.
Sang Qianqian’s heart ached.
The rain was silent, and her hair was wet, but she didn’t notice.
That was until a black umbrella shielded her from the rain, and the man’s familiar and clear scent lingered in her nose.
Sang Qianqian could not help but turn around and hug him. She sobbed, “Hanyu, do you think my brother… Could he have already…”
“He didn’t,” Shen Hanyu said in a deep voice. “Qianqian, he will definitely be fine.”
Sang Qianqian’s eyes were slightly red. She buried her head in his arms and sobbed non-stop.
After her brother’s disappearance, she had never felt so weak and helpless before. From time to time, it would make her feel extremely depressed.
If Shen Hanyu had not been by her side, she might have already broken down.
—
After a long time.
Shen Hanyu coaxed her back to her room. She washed up and went to bed.
Afterward, the man bent over and covered her with the blanket. His eyes were gentle as he said, “Sleep early.”
As usual, he was about to turn around and leave, but his hand was gently grabbed.
Shen Hanyu looked down at Sang Qianqian. Half of her face was covered in the blanket, and her eyes were red from crying. They were misty, and she looked extremely pitiful.
“Do you want me to accompany you?”
Shen Hanyu’s heart softened. He pulled a chair over and sat down. “Then I’ll wait for you to fall asleep before leaving.”
Sang Qianqian didn’t say anything, but only looked at him firmly.
Shen Hanyu’s heart wavered under her gaze. He brushed her hair aside and said in a low voice, “Or do you want me to stay and sleep with you?”
The girl’s face flushed red and her voice was barely audible. “I just don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night with someone beside me.”
In the past, when her older brother slept in the room next door, she rarely had insomnia at night.
Now, because of her brother’s disappearance, she was often woken up in the middle of the night.
Every time she woke up, she would think of how she was alone upstairs and could not fall asleep again. Her heart only felt unspeakable loneliness, desolation, and sadness.
Tonight, perhaps because of her father’s departure, her heart seemed to have become more fragile.
She really didn’t want to sleep alone.
Hearing the girl’s words, Shen Hanyu was a little surprised. Then, he smiled. “Okay, I’ll stay and accompany you.”
He lifted the blanket and laid down beside her.
His embrace was as familiar and warm as she remembered. When Sang Qianqian cuddled in Shen Hanyu’s arms, she only felt an unusual sense of security and stability.
That night, she did not wake up and had a rare full sleep.
Shen Hanyu, on the other hand, was suffering. It was a good thing that he had always been able to endure.
Afraid of waking her up, he only kissed her gently on the cheek and held her in his arms, listening to the sound of the spring rain outside.
The lust in his heart that had been restrained for a long time had also gradually subsided, leaving only a warm embrace.
—
A few days later, at the Ruan residence.
Ruan Cheng’s mood had been extremely bad recently.
...
The power behind the Ruan family suddenly increased its attack and launched an unprecedented attack on them.
The already precarious shipping company only had two ports left, and they were forced to stop operating due to system failures.
As for their bank’s cash flow system, it was also experiencing all sorts of malfunctions.
The customers complained and began to withdraw a large amount of cash, wanting to deposit it in other banks.
The failure of the cash flow system also caused the withdrawal to be unable to be completed, making the customers’ trust in the Ruan family’s bank had hit rock bottom.
In addition, the news that Ruan Cheng had been investigated by the police twice in a row had spread like wildfire.
The rumors of the Ruan family’s capital chain breaking and the Ruan family’s possible bankruptcy were getting more and more widespread.
The most ridiculous rumor was that Ruan Cheng wanted to transfer the money and escape.
In just a few days, the once glorious Ruan family and the mysterious and ruthless person in power behind them had become the talk of the town.
At that moment, a photo was sent to Shen Hanyu.
The light in the photo was very dim, and a tall man was sitting weakly against the wall with his eyes lowered. There were scars on the side of his face.
...
Although the man’s face could not be seen clearly, just from the side profile, one could tell at a glance that he was Sang Minglang.
Along with the photo, there was a message: “Stop all attacks.”
Shen Hanyu stared at the photo for a long time, his eyes cold.
“So Ruan Cheng couldn’t take it.”
Fang Lan raised her brows and frowned slightly. “In the end, he’s still using Sang Minglang as a bargaining chip to threaten us to stop?”
She looked at Shen Hanyu. “In my opinion, we should just force the Ruan family into a corner. Who knows, Ruan Cheng might bring Sang Minglang to us to negotiate.”
Guo Muyang pondered for a moment. “It’s also possible that Ruan Cheng would be driven to desperation and kill us as a way of silencing us.”
Sang Minglang’s disappearance was no small matter. Guo Muyang had also rushed to the capital and arranged for countless spies to look for him.
It was a pity that they had not gained anything so far.
“So, you mean we should do as he says?”
Fang Lan was unwilling to give up. “We’ve planned for so long, and the Ruan family is already at the end of their rope. We’re not going to take advantage of the situation to pursue them, but let it go? If we let Ruan Cheng catch his breath, it won’t be so easy to deal with him in the future.”
Even though Shen Hanyu had hired a few of his most capable assistants, it still took a lot of effort to crack the Ruan family’s shipping and banking systems.
Once the Ruan family regained their footing, the system would definitely be upgraded again.
The other party would definitely have tight defenses and countermeasures. If they wanted to break through, it definitely wouldn’t be as easy as this time.
Guo Muyang turned to Shen Hanyu. “Hanyu, what do you think?”
Shen Hanyu was silent for a long time. “Let’s stop for now.”
This matter was related to Sang Minglang, so he could not take the risk.
If anything really happened to Sang Minglang, he really wouldn’t be able to explain it to Sang Qianqian.
Just like that, the attack on the Ruan family stopped.
The Ruan family, which was on the verge of collapse, finally stopped being sabotaged.
