After Being Transported into a Book, I Adopted the Villain - Chapter 9

Ch.9 – Explanation
Yuan Yunping knelt on the ground and for a long time, looked up at Shen Yu with startled eyes. Suddenly, he realized what he was doing. He stared at Shen Yu and said, “You…you knew we were coming. You led us along, waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net, didn’t you?”

Shen Yu said, “You think too much.”

“What does this mean?” Yuan Yunping madly grabbed the stack of information from Tang Jia’s hand, and began shaking the pages wildly. “Isn’t that what you were so prepared for?!”

Shen Yu lowered his eyelids indifferently, and his cool eyes swept across the faces of Yuan Yunping and Tang Jia.

His fingers were white and slender; his index finger was tapping on the wheelchair armrest in an irregular way – a sign of his impatience.

“You are not so important as to need my special attention. Don’t be too conceited. If you didn’t come today, I’d have given the evidence to the court. Then we’d see each other in court directly.”

After that, Shen Yu raised his mouth ironically and turned to Uncle Zhang to say, “Uncle Zhang, please see our guests off .”

“As you wish.”

Uncle Zhang was not polite either. He stepped forward and reached out with both his hands. He grabbed Tang Jia and Yuan Yunping, who were paralyzed on the ground, and dragged them out like garbage.

Tang Jia had already been frightened by Shen Yu’s words and lost her soul. Even her struggling strength disappeared without a trace, just like a rag doll, she was dragged by Uncle Zhang.

On the other side, Yuan Yunping blushed and suddenly broke free while Uncle Zhang was not paying attention. Then, he pulled his shirt apart and rushed at Shen Yu.

Aunt Chen and several servants, who could only think about what Yuan Yunping would do to Shen Yu, subconsciously blocked Shen Yu by rushing between the two men.

“Stay back!” Aunt Chen said angrily, “If you take one more step, I’ll call the police.”

Hearing this, Yuan Yunping did not take any further steps, but pointed to his waist and gasped loudly, “Did you see this scar here? It was Tang Li, that lunatic, who stabbed me! I’m telling you, Tang Li is a white-eyed wolf, a murderer! Not only will he not thank you for all you have done for him, but he will also expect you to turn around and bite you hard on your back!

The emotional Yuan Yunping spoke with foam flying from his mouth, but Shen Yu, who sat in front of him, did not respond at all, not even raising his eyebrows.

Shen Yu’s face was expressionless, and his cold eyes swept over the area that Yuan Yunping was pointing to.

There really was a knife wound.

The wound’s healed, but it’s still very obvious. It’s a little scary.

Maybe Tang Li really did hurt Yuan Yunping with that dagger.

Shen Yu suppressed the thoughts in his mind, drew up his lips and smiled gently at Yuan Yunping. “You’re performance is so good. I guess that scar must no longer bring you pain. It won’t be long before the knife wound heals. So… you wanted to use Tang Li to ask me for money?”

Yuan Yunping’s eyes were as big as saucers, he looked like a ghost.

He thought that he had calculated for everything, but in any case, it’s impossible to calculate that Shen Yu would have such an attitude. Even though Shen Yu now knew that Tang Li is an extremely dangerous time bomb, he has still devoted himself to protecting Tang Li.

Is Shen Yu mad?

Crazy!

They are all fucking crazy!!!

Shen Yu turned a deaf ear to the roar of Yuan Yunping’s break down and waved his hand impatiently. Uncle Zhang and several servants threw the couple out together.

The noisy living room was finally quiet.

Shen Yu manipulated the wheelchair to the place where Yuan Yunping had just knelt down and bent down to pick up the report that fell onthe ground.

It depicts the cold violence and abuse that Tang Li suffered at his relatives’ home, relatives such as Tang Jia. The evidence is the photographs taken by Dr. Liu when examining Tang Li before, and the oral witness statements collected by Uncle Zhang these past two days.

The attitude and manner of those relatives towards Tang Li is no longer a secret in the circle they live in.

If Shen Yu pursues it to the end, they will absolutely be unable to recover in this lifetime.

Shen Yu turned to the last few pages of the materials and saw the serious bruises in the photos. At once, he felt a distressed. No matter what Yuan Yunping said, Tang Li was indeed a good obedient child.

Fortunately, after these past days of recuperation, the scars on Tang Li’s body are no longer so glaringly obvious.

“Uncle Zhang.” Shen Yu called to Uncle Zhang, who had just returned from outside, and handed him the information. “Put the evidence back on my desk.”

After receiving the data packet, Uncle Zhang hesitated for a moment and asked, “Sir, do you really want to sue them?”

“Two days ago, I asked Kang Lin to start preparing the case.” Shen Yu said, “Although I will not take custody of Chestnut for the time being, I will not allow those people to continue to use Chestnut.”

When he spoke, Shen Yu always kept a faint smile on his face, which seemed gentle and peaceful. However, the coldness in his eyes let Uncle Zhang know that his young master was not as calm as he seemed on the surface.

————————

Kang Lin is the first assistant of the former master. Ever since Shen Yu came here [1] , he has been working for Shen Yu.

For both business and personal reasons, Kang Lin has been running to meet Shen Yu a lot.

These past two days, he did not appear very much because Shen Yu handed over the work of the lawsuit with Tang Li’s relatives to him. According to the efficiency of Kang Lin’s work, the preparatory work should be almost done.

Shen Yu planned to go back to his study and ask Kang Lin about his progress.

However, as soon as he turned around, he saw a small figure standing motionless at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, the small dark eyes fixed on him.

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he felt a little panicked.

He did not know when Tang Li had appeared there, and how much of the conversation he had heard with Yuan Yunping and his wife. Not that he had any hidden secrets, but he was worried that Tang Li would be hurt by Yuan Yunping’s words.

After all, the couple’s behavior was very ugly.

And what Yuan Yunping said just now was very harsh. Just hearing Yuan Yunping’s derogatory words describing Tang Li, Shen Yu felt a surge of fire lighting straight up to the skies of heaven.

Animals!

Shen Yu cursed in his heart.

When he looked up at Tang Li again, Shen Yu instantly resumed his smile. He waved to Tang Li as usual: “Chestnut, come here.”

Tang Li seemed to have not heard Shen Yu’s voice and remained motionless.

There was no expression on his beautiful face, and his calm eyes held little emotion. His whole body was quiet, as if he was about to melt into the surrounding air, silent and painful.

“Tang Li.” Shen Yu shouted his full name directly, and the hand he held in mid-air did not lower. “Come here.”

Tang Li hesitated for a long time, but still took a step down the stairs and finally came to Shen Yu.

Shen Yu touched Tang Li’s soft hair, deliberately twisted his eyebrows and scolded him, ” Does it make you feel bad just being with me? I won’t make you come over any more…”

Tang Li looked at Shen Yu in a daze and opened his lips: “No…”

“Saying no?” Shen Yu sighed, “You have all your thoughts written on your face.”

Tang Li raised his hand and touched his own face. Then he lowered his hand in frustration. He whispered, “Don’t you want to ask me?”

Shen Yu tilted his head and inquired doubtfully, “What would I ask?”

Tang Li seemed to have no idea that Shen Yu would respond like this. After a long silence, he continued to speak: “The knife wound on Yuan Yunping’s body…”

“Oh, you’re talking about that.” Shen Yu laughed disapprovingly, held out his hands and held Tang Li’s small face. He lifted it up gently. Tang Li, who had wanted to avoid his sight, couldn’t guard against looking at him. “Do you want to talk about that?”

Tang Li was a little dazzled by Shen Yu’s smile. At this moment, it seemed that nothing could be felt.

Only, Shen Yu’s warm palm on his face had turned into a scorching heat. His heart thumped and thumped as he burned in it.

His mind was blank, and he answered without thought, “I didn’t want to talk about it.”

Shen Yu said, “In that case, we won’t talk about it.”

As a result, Tang Li’s words turned around: “But now I want to talk about it.”

“Then let’s talk about it.” Shen Yu let go of Tang Li’s face, took back his hands and sat upright. “I’ll listen.”

Tang Li looked down at Shen Yu’s beautiful slender hands. After a moment’s loss of consciousness, he whispered, “Yuan Yunping molested his niece. I saw that his niece was only nine years old and she could only ask me for help.”
