The Cherished Old Time - C193

Shang Hui said: “That night, I had my people follow your cars.”

Shang Hui nodded.

“The storage ring is on Lina’s hand, she was taken away.”

Shang Hui’s body seemed to still be trembling slightly. Yu Meng held onto his hand and squeezed it lightly, as if she wanted to give him a calming power.

Shang Hui was comforted by Yu Meng as the ache in his heart churned.

He couldn’t help but repeat that sentence.

“You shouldn’t have come.”

Yu Meng suddenly smiled.

“But you guessed that I would come, didn’t you?”

Otherwise, how could he have appeared in time to save her?

Shang Hui sighed deeply.

“I’m just guessing. Actually… “I’m not sure myself. I wanted you to come, to prove that you were worried about me, that you had me in your heart, but I didn’t want you to come, afraid that you’d be hurt, afraid that you’d be completely involved in this …”

“Alright.” Yu Meng continued, “Things have already turned out like this. Let’s move forward and not worry about the past anymore.”

Shang Hui smirked: “Look forward? Looking forward is even more impossible. ”

“How could that be? “When you’re done, we’ll go to the police and have the law protect us. How can your dad let someone else die just like that?”

Shang Hui tilted his head, and touched Yu Meng’s cheek with his head.

“Silly girl, even now you still believe that my father will be punished by the law?”

“What does that mean?”

“The Shang family has such a dark history. How could the police not know about it? The reason why no one has dared to investigate us all these years is because my dad has a hand in both black and white. He once groomed a capable assistant and sent him into politics along the way.

“No wonder… Your dad can still hold a gun … ”

Yu Meng became listless once more.

“Is there no other way?”

Shang Hui did not speak.

“Then let’s go beg your dad, you are his biological son after all, he wouldn’t really kill you. Look, when he shot you, he purposely deviated from his heart, which means he really didn’t want you to die.”

Shang Hui shook his head helplessly.

“Last time, he might have been soft-hearted, but next time, he definitely won’t be soft-hearted.”

“Why?”

“My dad is too domineering. He almost doesn’t see women as people, so he won’t allow his son to do stupid things because of women. He allows me to play with women, but he definitely doesn’t allow me to have any feelings for him.”

Yu Meng felt a surge of anger rise in her heart. “What age is this? Do you think you’re the emperor?”

“He was magnanimous enough to spare my life, yet I used this life to save the woman he wanted to kill. So, this time, he should be completely disappointed in me, and he definitely won’t be soft-hearted.”

“It’s all my fault.” Yu Meng lowered her head in frustration. In the end, everything was still happening because of her.

“It has nothing to do with you.” Shang Hui looked at Yu Meng in infatuation and greed, “I don’t regret knowing you at all.”

Yu Meng could not help but roll her eyes at him.

“But I regret it!” “I regret knowing you.” Yu Meng thought about it for a while. If not for Shang Hui, she and Tan Yubai would probably be discussing about her son’s name.

“Then I’m really sorry.” Shang Hui laughed playfully: “Just treat it as saving a pitiful person who has never understood what love is.”

Hearing Shang Hui’s words, Yu Meng could not help but feel pain in her heart.

“Has your father never been tempted by so many women in his life?”

Shang Hui shook his head.

“I don’t know, but as far as I know, he’s never moved.” Shang Hui sighed: “Maybe he doesn’t have the heart.”

In the dark night, with a gentle breeze, Shang Hui could not help but shrink back into Yu Meng’s embrace.

Yu Meng covered Shang Hui’s body with the carriage jacket that she had taken off from the carriage cushion. After a long while, her lips opened slightly.

“Will Shang Duo get his wish?”

He had originally thought that Shang Duo’s motive was just as he said. To let the Shang clan suffer from a blow, to be in a precarious situation, to let Shang Hui meet with trouble, and to make this legendary business empire feel threatened.

However, after many days of continuous messages, Shang Duo did not want to attack the Shang clan at all. He only wanted to beat Shang Hui down, so that he could take the position of the Shang Clan’s heir, even if it meant sacrificing his brother’s life.

Shang Hui thought for a moment, then said: “It’s not that easy.”

He said, “It’s not that easy to be an heir to the Shang clan. Shang Duo still has many tests to go through, and if he thinks everything is so simple, then his outcome must not be too good.”

“What about us? Did we hide from your father for the rest of our lives?”

“At least, during this period of time, we will temporarily stay here at the Typhoon Shelter and not show our faces.”

The night wind was silent and the cold moon was silent. Shang Hui leaned on Yu Meng’s body and slept soundly.

The next day, Shang Hui woke up slowly when the sun was high in the sky.

He opened his eyes and looked around, but didn’t see Yu Meng.

He frowned as he tried to stand up. He felt a sharp pain coming from his chest which made his vision turn dark and his body totter.

After a long while, Shang Hui finally managed to gather some energy. He supported himself on the wall and slowly walked outside.

Yu Meng sat outside the factory with a cloth over her face. In front of her was a brick cube with an old pot on top of it.

Shang Hui leaned on the wall and bent his body to cough, causing the wound on his chest to hurt.

When Yu Meng heard the commotion behind her, she immediately turned around to look. Seeing how upset Shang Hui was being from the smoke, she walked over to support him with a helpless look.

“Why did you come out?” “Come, let me help you enter.”

Yu Meng supported Shang Hui as she helped him walk down his back.

With much difficulty, Shang Hui managed to stop his coughing, and asked Yu Meng weakly: “What are you doing?”

“I found coal here.” Yu Meng helped Shang Hui to sit down: “I reckon that this place used to burn coal in the past, it’s the right time to boil some water with the coal, we can eat instant noodles now.”

Shang Hui frowned: “What is coal?”

“…” Yu Meng racked her brain but still didn’t know how to explain the matter of coal to this fuerdai.

“Probably… That was … In the past, when electromagnetic furnaces were not so common, people would burn this thing to cook rice and boil water. ”

Shang Hui leaned on the cushion: “It’s too suffocating.”

“So I’ll just put it outside and burn it. Don’t worry, it’ll be done soon.”

“Why would you use that?” Just as Shang Hui finished asking, he felt that there was no need to ask, so he just added on to himself: “Forget it, you won’t use that thing even more strange.”

The smell of the instant noodles soon floated into the entire factory. Shang Hui had not eaten any rice for two days and one night, and his stomach was aching from hunger. It was the first time in his life that he had the urge to eat this kind of trash food.

He finished the bowl of noodles very quickly.

“Is it delicious?” Yu Meng giggled as she looked at him.

Shang Hui shook his head with a serious expression.

As the days passed, Shang Hui’s injuries gradually recovered. Yu Meng would occasionally go to the surrounding villages to dress herself up like an old woman and buy some fruits and nutrients so that Shang Hui could recover better.

Shang Hui was enjoying the bliss of having Yu Meng take care of him. Even though his injuries were already much better, he still liked to pretend to be weak and let Yu Meng take care of him.

He even learned to boil water. Boiling water with coal.

There was no electricity, so they had to use coal to boil water during the day, except at night with a flashlight.

Today, as Shang Hui was burning two stoves, he suddenly heard footsteps at the entrance of the factory.

He raised his head cautiously and saw the shadows of the group under the scorching sun. His heart sank as he hid behind the wall.

When Shang Duo came in with a few of his subordinates, Yu Meng was already caught by them.

Her men controlled Yu Meng and steered her arm forward.

“Stop hiding. This is simply a meaningless struggle. ”

Shang Duo said coldly to the empty factory, and before long, he saw Shang Hui walking out.

“Let her go.”

Shang Hui glared at Shang Duo with his black, cold eyes, and secretly clenched his fists.

“My good brother, you made me look for trouble.” Shang Duo opened his mouth, and looked up and down: “Seems like you’re enjoying this kind of carefree life of yours.”

Shang Hui’s gaze fell on Yu Meng’s body, full of worry and nervousness. When he turned his head to look at Shang Duo again, he immediately changed into a cold and gloomy expression.

“Cut the crap, what are you trying to do?”

“To take you home, of course.” Shang Duo slowly walked closer: “It’s not like you don’t understand father’s temperament. He would never let off someone who made a mistake.”

Shang Hui’s heart tightly clenched, he did not expect that the day would come when they were still found.

“In order to find your van that didn’t have a photo taken, I’ve scoured the entire city for traffic cameras, which is why I finally tracked you down here.”

It turned out that the car had exposed them.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Shang Duo waved to his subordinates, and a few black clothed men rushed out and surrounded Shang Hui.

He stayed put and calmly looked at the man in front of him who looked similar to him.

“This has nothing to do with Yu Meng. Let her go.”

“Tsk tsk tsk tsk.” Shang Duo smacked his lips in feigned regret. “I really didn’t think that the Shang family would have such an infatuated seed like you.”

Shang Hui looked at his coldly. He couldn’t let Yu Meng escape from his grasp.

“What a pity.” Shang Duo still continued: “The woman you love once betrayed you with all her heart. My good brother, do you know how strong the desire to leave you was in her eyes when I joined forces with her to deal with you? ”

“Shut up!”

Shang Hui roared fiercely as veins on his forehead popped up.

His tightly clenched fist could no longer hold back. He took a few steps forward, raised his hand, and prepared to strike.

Shang Duo was not the least bit nervous as he slowly took half a step back. Several black-clothed subordinates blocked in front of him and started battling with Shang Hui.
