Thank you for accepting everything about me.
Thank you for your passionate love.
It allowed me to find meaning in my existence in this hypocritical and ugly world.
"What are you thanking me for? You're suddenly getting all sentimental with me for no reason."
"Alright, alright, let's get down to business."
Yu Tang pushed him away and said seriously, "Yuan Chi said that new people have been sent from above recently, but we don't know if they are from the Southern or Northern factions..."
"You'll know once you try it." Shen Yu was pushed away, so he grabbed Yu Tang's fingers and played with them.
He only felt comfortable when he touched Yu Tang.
"This Jianye Chemical incident will be a good test of his attitude."
"However, with the new ones arriving, the old ones will be quite busy."
A week later, the evidence of Jianye Group's scandals was conclusive and submitted to the court for trial.
Upon seeing this news, netizens were outraged, with a one-sided barrage of insults, wishing that Wang Jianye and his family would disappear completely from L country.
Meanwhile, the Shen family also welcomed a guest that Shen Yu had expected.
The old acquaintance from D City that Shen Yu mentioned, Director Chen.
Shen Yu hated it when people barged into the villa where he and Yu Tang lived. So, he usually received guests at the Shen family's old house.
Chen Qiuguo sat in the reception room, holding the tea poured for him by the maid, looking around somewhat awkwardly.
His legs kept shifting between sitting upright and crossing over, revealing his inner unease.
"Director Chen..." Shen Yu led Yu Tang in from outside: "What brings you here to my house today?"
Yu Tang did not make any disguise.
Because his file was completely altered after he received the assignment.
Apart from a few high-ranking leaders and Yuan Chi, who was in charge of receiving him, no one knew his true identity.
Chen Qiuguo naturally didn't notice him either.
His eyes were fixed on Shen Yu: "Mr. Shen, let's not beat around the bush."
"I need your help with something."
Shen Yu sat in the main chair, his cane supporting his palm, and looked at Chen Qiuguo with a leisurely air: "Director Chen, what kind of help do you need?"
Chen Qiuguo looked around at the people.
"You all get out."
The servants left, but Yu Tang remained.
Chen Qiuguo looked troubled.
"If Director Chen doesn't want to talk about it, that's fine." Shen Yu smiled and said to Yu Tang, "Tangtang, help me see the guest out."
"I'll talk, I'll talk."
Chen Qiuguo hurriedly said, "Now that new guy is thoroughly investigating Jianye Group, if this continues, I might get dragged into it too."
"I think you can help me."
"Get involved? Director Chen has always been upright and honest, how could he get involved in such a major case?"
Shen Yu's seemingly flattering words were actually blatant sarcasm.
Chen Qiuguo gritted his teeth and said, "President Shen, please don't joke around. Only you can help me now."
Shen Yu looked at him lazily, his eyes filled with coldness.
He glanced at Yu Tang beside him.
The man nodded to him.
Shen Yu then asked Chen Qiuguo.
“I can help you, but you have to tell me what you’ve done. You have to tell me everything you’ve done before I can help you find a solution.”
Chen Qiuguo's eyes lit up immediately when he heard Shen Yu agree.
He stopped hiding anything and told Shen Yu all about his past crimes.
He helped cover up many things about Jianye Group.
He also helped clean up the messes Wang Dong made.
The new recruits sent this time are from the honest and upright Northern faction; once they are investigated...
Chen Qiuguo is finished.
The only possible solution now is to have Shen Yu use some means to help him cover it up.
"Director Chen, you..." Shen Yu listened to Chen Qiuguo's account.
Looking at the other person's contorted and agitated face, he curled his lips and sneered.
"You really think highly of me."
Chapter 18
The villain is resurrected for the second time (18)
After seeing Chen Qiuguo off.
Shen Yu pulled Yu Tang's hand over and rubbed it to warm it: "What's wrong? Are you angry because you heard what the bureau chief said?"
"Um……"
Shen Yu paused for a moment, then said, "He helped me too."
"Otherwise, how do you think I've managed to thrive in D City, the most prosperous city in L Country?"
Yu Tang was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Shen Yu patted Yu Tang's pocket: "Hand over these recordings tomorrow. Let that leader from the Northern faction handle them."
"It's time to clear up the sky in D City."
That night, Yu Tang lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.
He knew that if he handed over these recordings, Shen Yu would definitely be implicated, and Chen Qiuguo would be brought to justice, which would surely lead to Shen Yu's downfall.
Their hard-won few days of peace came to an end.
This is the first step in Shen Yu's disguised surrender.
This was also the beginning of his true atonement.
Even though he had personally pushed his beloved to her death, Yu Tang still felt somewhat distressed.
"Can't sleep?" Shen Yu noticed Yu Tang's unusual behavior, so he wrapped his arms and legs around the man like a koala, resting his head on Yu Tang's shoulder, and asked him, "Are you thinking about me?"
Yu Tang, having her thoughts exposed, nudged Shen Yu in the waist with her elbow, still trying to cover it up, and said, "You're right here beside me, why would I miss you?"
"You're lying. I can tell." Shen Yu said this, but didn't pursue the matter further. Instead, he pondered for a moment and asked, "After you hand in the recording tomorrow, shall we go on a date?"
"A date?" The mention of a date immediately brought to mind the amusement park and the cotton candy that was never delivered to Shen Yu.
That was their first date, but it ended in a tragedy that no one could have predicted.
"Yeah, a date." Shen Yu hugged him from behind, holding Yu Tang's hands in both of his: "There's a horse farm owned by the Shen family in Yunshan District. I'll take you horseback riding to change your mood."
Shen Yu could never hide Yu Tang's emotional changes from him.
He understood the other person's predicament.
But that was his choice.
He didn't want Yu Tang to become a deserter who failed to complete his mission because of him.
"Horseback riding?" After exchanging a few words with Shen Yu, Yu Tang's mood improved considerably. He exhaled the frustration in his heart and said, "That's quite a unique way to date."
"Are you going or not?"
"Of course I'll go."
"Okay, it's settled then." Shen Yu nuzzled Yu Tang's shoulder. "We'll go see Yuan Chi tomorrow after I take you there. Go to sleep early, goodnight."
"Good night……"
The next day, Yu Tang became more cautious.
Upon seeing Yuan Chi, he shoved the recording pen into Yuan Chi's pocket, then instantly took two large steps back, creating a considerable distance between them.
He said seriously, "Yuan Chi, these are all very important documents. Please hand them in."
"I have something to do, I'll be going now."
Yuan Chi, holding the recorder, had just opened his mouth to say, "Brother Ye, I..."
"No need to say anything! I understand!" Yu Tang interrupted without hesitation, then left with the words, "Goodbye!"
They disappeared without a trace.
Back in Shen Yu's car, Yu Tang very consciously took off his gloves and threw them into the prepared bag. Anticipating Shen Yu's prediction, he said, "This time, you should be satisfied, right?"
Shen Yu looked him up and down and then laughed.
"Um……"
He seemed to be thinking, then took out his phone, opened the audio from the bug in Yu Tang's pocket, and played the conversation between Yu Tang and Yuan Chi.
After finishing, he calmly and composedly said...
“You and he exchanged a total of 34 words.”
"That……"
"You crazy bastard! Are you crazy?!" Yu Tang guessed what he was going to say, and laughed in anger. He flicked Shen Yu's forehead with a flick, interrupting his dangerous remarks.
"Ouch..." Shen Yu covered his head and said, "I used so much force and knocked your smart husband stupid. Let's see how you cry then."
"Husband?" Yu Tang was taken aback.
