Chapter 541
South of the Chu River, seventy kilometres.
At this moment on the winding road a black Mercedes sedan is driving at breakneck speed towards the nearest provincial road.
There are three people in the car at the moment, a young driver and on the passenger side is a woman of about twenty. In the passenger seat is a woman in her twenties, wearing light make-up.
She turned back from time to time and climbed into conversation with a woman in her forties, who looked somewhat much older than her actual age, sitting in the back seat.
"Is Gauteng ...... him ...... he really back?"
The phrase. This woman had asked almost all the way, and every time she asked. The corners of her eyes moistened a little.
She sighed to herself and muttered, "Seventeen years, is it finally time to wait for this day?"
This woman was no other than Jiang Hao's mother, Jiang Wan, the wife of Shen Haoting.
Seventeen years ago, in order to protect her son and to hold on to the only blood of the Shen clan, she resolutely carried Jiang Hao, who was still in infancy, and hid in a small, unknown village, a hundred miles away from the Chu River. She hid for seventeen years.
During that time, she knew that Shen Haoting had become the richest overseas Chinese, but she had told Jiang Hao from a young age that his father had died long ago.
Because Jiang Wan had witnessed with her own eyes how bloody the Armageddon had been seventeen years ago, and how cruel the world was.
Jiang Wan once felt that it was better to let Jiang Hao be an ordinary person in this life, to keep him away from all the strife and let him live in peace.
Jiang Wan's thought was not shattered until these two members of Lei's group approached her. Only then was it broken.
These two told Jiang Wan that Shen Haoting had returned, and that it would not be long before Shen's great revenge would finally be avenged, and that it would not be long before she could form a completed family again with her husband and son, just as she had done seventeen years ago.
At first. Jiang Wan seemed to have some doubts about what these two said, until the other party used her mobile phone to place the video of Shen Haoting directly in front of her face.
At that moment. Jiang Wan sobbed uncontrollably. She had even thought that she might never have the chance to meet Shen Haoting again in her lifetime, so she had long since died to the past. She even forced herself to forget the man she once loved so much, and she even thought she had succeeded for a while.
Gradually, there was no longer any trace of Shen Haoting in her life. Her memories of Shen Haoting were gradually locked away somewhere in her mind.
In order to forget the past, she even changed Jiang Hao's name!
But the moment she saw Shen Haoting on her mobile phone screen, Jiang Wan realised that she was wrong, very wrong.
Somehow, the moment she saw Shen Haoting on the screen, her tears instantly flowed like a spring and could not be restrained.
The memories of the past, the memories that had been buried deep in the past. They instantly shook off the dust from her body and resurfaced before her eyes.
And after Shen Haoting told her. The plan she had been planning for more than ten years was about to be completed, and the family would soon be able to live together again. Jiang Wan's inner defences completely collapsed.
So much so that she suppressed her caution and worry and convinced herself to get into the car with the two men without hesitation.
Jiang Wan's heart. She seemed to have a premonition all along, she seemed to be able to feel that all these things would definitely not be as simple as Shen Haoting had said.
But at this moment, she couldn't care less, she just wanted to see Shen Haoting with her own eyes!
The speed of the car was fast, but Jiang Wan still felt that it was a bit long.
A journey of seventy kilometres, at this speed, would take about forty minutes to reach.
But forty minutes seemed to be as long as a century to Jiang Wan ......
"Is Haoting ...... his health okay?" Jiang Wan clasped her hands together and asked the young girl in the passenger seat with some formality.
The girl smiled sweetly at Jiang Wan and turned her head to speak, when her entire face became abruptly frightened.
Almost at the same time, at the top of the berm on the side of the road, a flash of fire flashed, followed by a long trail of black smoke that came hurtling towards the Mercedes.
The young girl shouted a bad cry and hurriedly jumped like a fish from the passenger seat to Jiang Wan's side, and in a flash, used her slender body to protect Jiang Wan, then shouted under her breath, "There is a sneak attack ......"
The last word "attack" was not even uttered by the girl, and the driver had not even reacted yet, when the crowd heard a dull sound in their ears, and then the whole car was lifted off the ground as if it had been grabbed and thrown by some huge beast, and turned around in the air a few times before landing heavily on the ground.
At this time, the bullet-proof Mercedes-Benz car, one side of the body has opened up, the car upside down on the side of the road, the engine has been a faint flame.
Jiang Wan, who was being shielded by the girl, had suffered some injuries, but they were not life-threatening.
It took her a long time to catch her breath, and she hurriedly looked at the girl beside her, but she saw that she was already dying, her whole back already blown up with broken glass and iron.
Even so, the girl still used her last strength to call out to the driver in front of her, "Quickly ...... protect Madam ......"
Chapter 542
As soon as the girl's words left her mouth, the whole person closed her eyes reluctantly.
Jiang Wan looked at the girl who had lost her life at such a young age because she had saved herself, and her heart was overwhelmed with grief.
But before she could express her grief, she saw the passenger driver, who had kicked open the car door with two fierce kicks. Then he crawled to the back of the car door position, and with a lot of strength, pried that car door open a poke that could barely allow Jiang Wan to crawl out to, nervously shouted, "Madam come out quickly ......"
Jiang Wan wiped her tears, took one last look at the young girl, gritted her teeth and climbed out of the car. Then she and the driver were about to run away.
But before they could take a few steps, a sharp gunshot rang out and the stout young man beside Jiang Wan first looked stunned. He then fell heavily to Jiang Wan's side.
Immediately afterwards, the youth's chest turned red and a measure of blood spurted out, staining the ground beneath his body.
Jiang Wan hurriedly lowered her head to check the youth's condition, but found that it was too late.
Another young life had fallen for her, and Jiang Wan's heart was so gloomy that she knew very well that this sudden turn of events must have been directed at her.
Tears soon wet Jiang Wan's eyes, and she wanted to look up to the sky and ask who it was. But at that moment, she saw several figures coming from a short distance away.
Jiang Wan looked up at those people, and when her eyes fell on one in the middle, she couldn't help but be stunned, because she suddenly realised that this person looked so familiar to her, she always felt that she had seen him somewhere before.
When the man saw Jiang Wan, he couldn't help but smile, "Auntie, it's a pleasure to meet you, 17 years later, we meet again!"
Jiang Wan frowned at the other person, trying desperately to remember who this person was.
Suddenly, Jiang Wan's face froze, and her entire eyes widened as she looked at the person in front of her with some trepidation.
"You ...... you are Shen Tianyang?"
When she said this name. Jiang Wan felt as if her body involuntarily trembled slightly, and the look of trepidation on her face intensified by a few points.
Because while remembering this man in front of her, Jiang Wan also seemed to remember the sensational things this man had done.
Seventeen years ago, this was the man who had slaughtered the entire Shen clan's family of over a hundred people.
This was the man who had forced his own family into ruin and his son to live in hiding.
It was also the man who tore apart his family and forced his beloved husband to kneel in public, forcing him to leave his homeland and go abroad.
In Jiang Wan's memory. This man in front of her was a devil, there was nothing he could not do. There was nothing he could not do.
At this moment, when Shen Tianyang appeared in front of her, Jiang Wan had already guessed what he was up to.
Jiang Wan knew that it was impossible for her to see her husband and son again today, so she could not help but sigh and look at the other party gloomily, saying: "I never thought you would still be alive! I thought back then. I thought you would learn from your mistakes and become a new man, but I never imagined that you would return the favour one day and not only attack him to death. You even slaughtered the entire Zong family! Shen Tianyang, aren't you afraid that the heavens will retaliate against you?"
Shen Tianyang laughed, not taking Jiang Wan's words seriously, and said, "Retribution? Oh, if there really are gods, perhaps one day, they will all prostrate themselves at my feet, clan aunt, you are at least the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, don't you still understand that in this world. Only power is the truth?"
Shen Tianyang waved his hand and said, "Clan Aunt, please? Don't presume to resist anymore. My clan uncle's resistance, in my eyes, of which there is not a single bit of meaning. If he had obediently handed over Shangdian to me back then, perhaps in these seventeen years, your family of three. You would have taken care of yourself long ago. ......"
"You bullshit!" Jiang Wan suddenly became emotional, pointing at the other party and shouting, "Your overseas Shen family should be exterminated for ignoring the clan rules and defying the clan, but now you are still smug here, if my father-in-law hadn't shown mercy to you and the overseas Shen family line, I'm afraid your corpses would all be gone now!"
As Jiang Wan spoke, she pulled out a small fruit knife from her pocket and put it directly against her neck, sneering, "I know that you managed to catch me just to get Howe to give up Shangdian, but you think too simply. It's just a life..."
As Jiang Wan spoke, tears fell from her eyes as she thought of Jiang Hao and how she might not even see the last of her son.
She thought of Shen Haoting, her beloved husband, who had been gone for 17 years.
But even so, Jiang Wan is still righteous, she knows very well what will happen if she falls into the hands of Shen Tianyang ......
Chapter 543
The fruit knife was something Jiang Wan had always kept on her person, and she had thought about what she should do in case the day came.
After thinking about it, she felt that she must not become a burden to Shen Haoting.
He had endured so much humiliation and hatred back then, in order to one day take revenge for all that hatred back ......
It just didn't occur to Jiang Wan. At that time, all of this was just a precautionary move, but I didn't want the prophecy to come true. It really happened.
So the moment she saw Shen Tianyang, Jiang Wan had secretly made up her mind to end her life.
Shen Tianyang ended up with a corpse, there was no way he could help Shen Haoting one bit.
And that. It seemed that this was the last thing one could do for Shen Haoting.
Jiang Wan looked at Shen Tianyang and smiled coldly, "Sorry, I might have to let you down!"
Before the words left her mouth, Jiang Wan fiercely stabbed the dagger in her hand towards her artery ......
Only at that moment, Jiang Wan noticed that there was not even a hint of tension or helplessness in Shen Tianyang's eyes.
Could it be that he simply didn't care about his own life or death?
Jiang Wan was thinking, when she suddenly felt a cool air running behind her, and she could clearly feel that it was a person suddenly running behind her. And the air that came wrapped around her.
Almost at the same time, Jiang Wan felt a soreness in her wrist, which was holding the dagger, and then it was as if her arm was not obeying her, and it was moving further and further away from her neck.
Jiang Wan tried with all her strength to thrust the dagger at herself, but no matter how hard she tried, it was impossible to shake the man behind her.
At this moment, the man grabbed one of Jiang Wan's hands with one hand. With the other hand, he grabbed Jiang Wan's neck tightly.
The man was huge and as strong as a wild animal, no matter how hard Jiang Wan struggled, it seemed that she could not even break free from one of his hands.
At that moment, Jiang Wan suddenly heard a mocking laugh coming from Shen Tianyang across the street, "Oh, Auntie. I think you are the one who should be disappointed, right?"
Shen Tianyang leaned on his cane and walked up to Jiang Wan, taking a closer look at her. He sighed and said, "Hey, time is really unforgiving, seventeen years have passed. Now, however, she has not been able to escape the ravages of the years ...... Heh, more than ten years. Once again meet, why are you in a hurry to die ah? Don't be anxious, because it won't be long before you meet up with my clan uncle. Oh yes, and your son. When that time comes, wouldn't it be better for your family of three to run to the Yellow Spring together?"
After he finished speaking, Shen Tianyang let out a long whistle before turning around and walking towards a Lincoln car not far away.
As he walked, Shen Tianyang said to his men around him, "Take her away, we must not let her die!"
The men behind Shen Tianyang hurriedly nodded, "Understood Mr. Shen ......"
Not long afterwards, Jiang Wan was shoved into a speeding SUV. She had tried to struggle for her life, but she directly angered the person controlling her. The man slapped her violently, directly knocking Jiang Wan out of consciousness ......
On the other side. On a road leading from downtown Chujiang to Cloudy Mountain, three black Mercedes suv's raced wildly.
And the three cars were riding in them. It was Shen Haoting, Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie and others.
Not long after, the three cars stopped at a roadside located at the foot of the mountain.
A group of more than ten people got out of the car, and the few guards around Shen Haoting hurriedly scattered in all directions.
"Dad, what is this place?" Jiang Hao looked around. It was found to be unbelievably desolate, all the way here. There wasn't a single person in sight for two or three kilometres.
Before, although Shen Haoting had said that he would take himself to see the Shang Dian, which had been passed down by the Shen family for a thousand or so years.
But Jiang Hao had always thought that. Something as valuable and dangerous as that would have to be hidden in the bank's safe deposit box, or in a specially built storage building.
But hidden in the middle of nowhere?
This in any case also makes Jiang Hao a little unexpected.
"Shangdian ...... is hidden here?" Jiang Hao incredulously added a question.
Shen Haoting smiled heartily, "Why, is there a problem?"
Jiang Hao looked around, scratched his head, and shook his head again, "Hidden right here? That's a bit perfunctory, isn't it? This place is nothing but a barren mountain ...... and in case someone steals it, it might take a few days before we even know about it, you should put some staff here."
Jiang Hao's worry was not unreasonable, because in his opinion, there was not even a single person here, hiding such a precious piece here, did his own father not even put some guards here?
When Shen Haoting heard Jiang Hao's words, he laughed again, then clapped his hands and said with a smile, "How do you know that there's not even a single person around here?"
Just after Shen Haoting clapped his hands, suddenly Jiang Hao felt a commotion around him, and then within a hundred-metre radius in all directions, dozens of people who had carefully dressed up in hiding suddenly appeared.
The sudden appearance of these people really startled Jiang Hao.
Amongst these people, the closest one was just less than three meters away from him, and he had just been here for so long without even noticing the presence of that person.
