Divorce Only Makes a Son-in-Law Stronger-Chapter 258 - 257: Shen Yueli, Why Don’t You Dare to Die?
"No, no, please, don’t!!"
"Wang Geng, are you senile? Are you planning to perish together with our families?!"
"Everyone here is a revered elder to me, Shen Yueli. I hope you won’t act impulsively and calmly consider the consequences!"
Having witnessed this, the faces of the Ying and Shen families’ members changed drastically, their hearts leaping to their throats.
Shen Qingqiu and Mrs. Ying Sr. were both stunned and furious, shouting uncontrollably.
Even the deeply scheming Shen Yueli couldn’t help but panic.
Once the matter of framing Lin Fan years ago is exposed, it will surely provoke the emperor’s wrath.
By then, the Ying and Shen families will likely face annihilation!
"Hmph, do you think we’re stupid? We’re not the masterminds and were deceived by your families. At most, we’ll receive a minor punishment."
"That’s right, Ying Bufan has already surfaced, and this matter will be thoroughly investigated by the authorities sooner or later. Why should we cover for your families?"
"Calm down? Like hell I’m calm! What old family ties or brotherly care—Shen Changlong nearly destroyed my nephew’s promising future!"
Still, the military bigwigs were unforgiving, growing angrier as they spoke.
Old Wang too rolled his eyes, unwilling to pay any more heed to Mrs. Ying Sr.
"I beg you, consider it my plea to show mercy!"
Thump!
Mrs. Ying Sr. trembled all over, her complexion turning pale.
Facing the familiar faces that showed no emotion, indifferent to her plight.
She couldn’t help but display hopelessness and terror, directly kneeling before everyone!
"Uncles and elders, our two families are in deep crisis and truly cannot bear further blows!"
"As long as you spare our Ying Shen families, I, Shen Yueli, am willing to pay any price!"
Thump, thump!
Shen Qingqiu and Shen Yueli also displayed anxiety, kneeling down.
"We implore you to show mercy and spare us!"
Thump, thump, thump!
Fellow members from the Ying Shen families also knelt in black, oppressive unison.
"What use is it to beg us? The victim is Lin Fan!"
Old Wang pointed angrily at Shen Yueli and others, shouting.
"One must pay for one’s sins, if you want to survive, seek Lin Fan’s forgiveness!"
"Right, unless Lin Fan speaks up, there’s nothing to discuss!"
"We might spare you for past sentiments, but how will you make amends for what you’ve done to Lin Fan’s mother and son?"
Other military bigwigs exchanged looks, nodding heavily, then stepped aside.
Only Lin Fan remained facing the group kneeling on the ground.
"Lin Fan, Lin Fan, I beg you, hasn’t it been seven years? What else do you want us to do?"
"Lin Fan, you’re driving our families to the brink, what benefit will you gain?"
"Lin Fan, don’t forget, you also bear the blood of Ying and Shen families!"
Shen Yueli appeared sorrowful, desperately pleading in a low voice.
Shen Qingqiu and Mrs. Ying Sr. showed resentment and anger, loudly questioning.
The kneeling crowd behind them gritted their teeth so hard they were almost breaking, feeling nearly explosive frustration!
"...Sorry, even if it were a hundred or a thousand years, I still can’t let go of this matter in my heart!"
Silence, prolonged silence.
As the hearts of the crowd began to sink.
Lin Fan’s cheeks puffed fiercely, then turning red, he shouted angrily!
"Yes, if I bring your families down, I won’t gain anything tangible, but at least I want it, it pleases me!"
"I’ve already been expelled from the Ying family, what’s this bloodline kinship worth anymore!"
"When you drove my mother to death and framed me, did you ever think you’d be begging for mercy one day?"
Boom.
Boom boom!!
Deafening angry shouts echoed on the spot!
Shen Yueli and two others flushed, daring not speak despite their anger.
The others were ashamed and furious, wishing they could bury their heads in their pants.
The words were like fierce slaps, hitting them hard in the face.
It hurt, it burned!
"This is the sin your families committed, Lin Fan is not to blame, better hurry back and think about how to explain clearly to the authorities."
Mr. Xia Sr.’s expression was complex, stepping forward, shaking his head at Shen Yueli and others.
Yu and others sighed endlessly.
The consequences were too severe, framing a military leader was tantamount to treason!
Once thoroughly investigated, the mastermind will undoubtedly be shattered.
Clearly, the Ying and Shen families can only choose to sacrifice an influential figure. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Who will be forced to sacrifice this time, remains unknown?
"Lin Fan! Do you really have to be so heartless? Aren’t you just upset I took everything from your mother?"
Next,
Shen Yueli, face pale as a drop of ink, slowly stood up.
She clenched her fists tightly, a sorrowful and tragic smile forming at her lips.
"If I offer my life to compensate your mother, will you let bygones be bygones?"
The resolute voice echoed at the scene.
The members of Ying Shen families were shocked, their eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
Shen Qingqiu and Mrs. Ying Sr. were terrified, their bodies trembling fiercely!
"Sister! Are you crazy, why offer your life for a deceased!"
"Yueli, don’t act impulsively, it’s not yet that desperate!"
Shen Qingqiu also quickly stood up and shouted at Shen Yueli.
Mrs. Ying Sr. trembled as she got up, her chest heaving violently with anger.
"You dog, are you satisfied now? If you drive your stepmother to her death, you—you—you’ll be drowned by the world’s spit!"
Turning her head, Mrs. Ying Sr. pointed at Lin Fan and screamed sharply.
"...Shen Yueli, you think I can’t see through your facade? You’re just advancing by retreating."
Facing fiery glares from all around.
Lin Fan curled his lips into a mocking smile and shook his head broadly.
He understood that woman’s tactics too well.
Likes to play pitiful, play innocent?
Only a fool like Ying Wenyuan would be deceived by her!
"Alright, die right here in front of me, and I’ll spare your two families."
Lin Fan chuckled and turned to look at Wu Miaomiao in the corner.
The latter immediately understood, curled her red lips, and produced a dagger from behind her waist, tossing it over.
"Young Master, this blade has been coated with poison. Just a tiny cut will bleed you to death, with no cure available."
Wu Miaomiao’s eyes curved, her smile extremely alluring.
But that seductive voice sent chills down everyone’s spine.
"Come on, just die, and I’ll have Yuan Ruohai spare Ying Wenyuan, and have Old Marshal Wang not expose your two families!"
Clang!
Lin Fan caught the dagger, then steadily threw it at Shen Yueli’s feet.
Instantly, Shen Qingqiu and Mrs. Ying Sr. stepped back in shock as if electrocuted.
The people from the Ying and Shen Families were all in uproar, cursing loudly.
"Lin Fan, if you really drive her to death, you’ll carry a heavy burden of infamy."
Seeing this, Mr. Xia Sr. looked very moved and quietly urged Lin Fan.
Yu and others also quickly signaled Lin Fan not to act impulsively.
"I don’t care about infamy... I just want to see today whether Shen Yueli is truly hypocritical and selfish, or if she has the determination to sacrifice for the Ying and Shen Families."
Under the watch of many unusual gazes.
Lin Fan remained expressionless, still unwilling to relent.
Instantly, all eyes turned to Shen Yueli picking up the dagger.
"...Alright, I’ll die, I’ll die right here to satisfy you!"
Shen Yueli laughed bitterly, gradually bringing the blade closer to her fair neck.
"Sister, no, please don’t!"
"Yueli, if you die, how will I face Wenyuan!"
Shen Qingqiu and Mrs. Ying Sr. were almost crying.
But any perceptive person could tell that although they were shouting desperately, they had no intention to intervene!
Even those resentful people from the Ying and Shen Families just stood there.
Seemingly waiting intentionally for Shen Yueli to die tragically on the spot.
Think about it, the one who initially drove Lin Suxin to death and instigated Ying Wenyuan to frame Lin Fan was Shen Yueli herself.
If she just dies, Lin Fan’s anger would be appeased, and both families might have a chance to survive!
One second, two seconds, three seconds... time ticked by.
Shen Yueli deeply closed her eyes, placing the blade against her throat, trembling violently.
But the purple-poison-coated edge could go no deeper.
"Shen Yueli, why don’t you dare to die?"
Seeing this, Lin Fan laughed, laughed until he almost cried.
Once again, he guessed correctly.
This vicious woman was selfish and self-centered, preferring to watch her beloved Ying Wenyuan take the fall.
How could she sacrifice herself for the safety of others and die to make amends?
"You all see it, right? She’s just pretending, trying to force me to return good for evil!"
"...Hmph, do you think I’m foolish, Shen Yueli? If I really die and you go back on your word, I’d die for nothing!"
Clang!
Shen Yueli suddenly opened her tightly shut eyes and calmly threw down the dagger.
She looked indifferent, staring straight at Lin Fan.
Like a completely different person, without the previous despair and tragic look!
There was a sharp intake of breath around.
Everyone was shocked, almost unable to believe their eyes!
Damn, it was really an act?
How deep must one’s scheming be, how many twisted thoughts, to come up with such a trick?
Key is, you need a thick skin to withstand public opinion!
Mr. Xia Sr. and others squinted their old eyes, each shaking their heads silently.
Wang and others laughed without holding back.
Even Shen Qingqiu and Mrs. Ying Sr. felt embarrassed.
Turning their gaze away, almost burying their heads in their trousers!
"Is the Xia family having a joyful occasion today? Why is it so lively?"
In the next moment.
A cheerful voice sounded from outside the door, catching everyone’s attention.
A middle-aged man with a square face in military uniform, accompanied by two trusted aides, walked in energetically, looking quite excited.
Their eyes met, Lin Fan paused, then immediately recognized him.
It was from the first day of the Haicheng pharmaceutical purchasing conference.
The officer escorting the comatose old king of Sha Country, seeking help from him, Nie Feng!
