Chapter 1217: Chapter 1287: Crossing the Line
"Oh oh oh..." Chen Huaying was stunned, her mind in a fog, and only when she turned around did she realize Hai Yunfeng’s confidential secretary was keeping close watch beside them.
"I’ll escort you back to the school."
"Alright."
Chen Huaying finally understood why An’an said they’d gone back. Now, they had absolutely no means to resist. There was no way to refuse to go back, the minister had personally sent someone to escort them. To say escort was really just to keep them under watch.
"Xiao Li, you don’t have to go back, aren’t you worried about Renault? Go and see him at the hospital."
"Can I really go?" Feng Xiaoli excitedly pointed at herself, unable to believe the words she heard.
"Yes!" When An’an nodded, her movements surprisingly resembled Xu Qigang’s somewhat, "You." She pointed at the confidential secretary, "Arrange for someone to escort Feng Xiaoli to the hospital to see Renault, and arrange for someone to escort her back afterward. Remember, ensure her safety."
"Understood!" The confidential secretary, absolutely loyal to Hai Yunfeng, naturally complied with An’an’s instructions, and promptly dispatched two elites to escort Feng Xiaoli to the hospital.
Chen Huaying followed behind An’an, looking at her straight back, suddenly realizing An’an had grown up. Different from when she first arrived, and also different from when she had just regained her memory.
On An’an, she saw the shadow of Sheng Ning, especially the way she held her back straight, unexpectedly with a spirit of indefatigable resilience.

In terms of hunting down Shen Yu, the most obsessive was undoubtedly the Shen Family. Old Leader Shen deployed all his forces recklessly to pursue and assassinate Shen Yu. He wouldn’t soften because of Sheng Ning being a hostage.
Now, nothing is more important than Shen Yu’s death.
This devil he’d cultivated with his own hands, once let loose would trigger a massacre far beyond just crippling the Shen Family. He put a lot of effort into nurturing him; his strategy, ability, and foresight are unmatched by a mere Southern Border hired soldier.
Old Leader Shen was furious, and Father Shen, having just regained consciousness in the hospital but still unable to get out of bed, was ordered to be carried back to the Shen Family.
"I’m sorry!" Father Shen showed signs of a mild stroke, and although he should be resting well, he was in no mind to do so now. Currently, he’s a criminal; if dying could solve everything, he would rather die right now.
"You really are sorry." Old Leader Shen gazed at his eldest son with eyes devoid of warmth, "How could you be so muddle-headed? If Shen Yu was not beyond redemption, did you think I could bear to kill him?"
"I... I..." Father Shen hesitated and spoke the truth from his heart, "I thought it was because Shen Yu had disgraced our Shen Family, tarnished our reputation..."
"Nonsense." Old Leader Shen threw a cup of boiling hot tea onto Father Shen, "Is that how you see me, as such a selfish and self-serving person?"
"I’m sorry, Father." Father Shen knelt on the ground in shame, keeping his head bowed and not getting up.
"If it was for the sake of face and preserving the family, I would have killed him long ago instead of waiting until now." Old Leader Shen trembled as he stood up, "Do you think I don’t know about him scheming against Meng Fan in Southern Border? I knew long ago. If it wasn’t for me covering up for him, it would have been exposed long ago."
"What?" Father Shen raised his head in shock, unable to believe what his father had just said.
"Hmph!" Old Leader Shen sneered coldly, "By the time I knew, it was already too late, I couldn’t let a dead person affect my grandson’s future." Killing Meng Fan hadn’t crossed his bottom line, but collaborating with scarface was something he would absolutely not tolerate.
