Chapter 180: Double Sided
Shen Ke's pupils shrank instantly and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
He murmured: "The girl who was sent away by the Shen family back then was actually you? Did you join the Night Criminal Division just to come back for revenge?"
"You seem to have a lot of questions. What kind of existence is the Night Criminal Division? I don't need to explain it to you, right? The Shen family has gone too far in the northern border over the years. Do you really think the court will tolerate it forever?"
"I advise you to see the situation clearly and sever ties with the Shen family as soon as possible, otherwise you will be ruined."
Shen Xueying's words like this are tantamount to telling Shen Ke that it is not just the Night Criminal Division who has to deal with the Shen family now, but the Emperor Daqian behind them.
Is it possible that the Shen family has the strength to compete with the entire Daqian court?
Shen Ke is trapped in a painful decision. On the one hand, he also hopes to change the status quo. After all, although the surname Shen allows him to live a life of fine clothing and fine food, the same word "Shen" also makes him fearful day and night. spend.
Back then, he was just an abandoned baby. The reason why he was lucky enough to be brought into the Shen family was because he and Shen Yinglong, the eldest son of the Shen family, were born in the same year, the same month and the same day. According to the rules of the Shen family, he had to find a wife for the delicate and expensive eldest son. playmate.
But in fact, Shen Ke played the role of a scapegoat when Shen Yinglong grew up.
Yes, the playmate is just a self-deception. He stayed in the Shen family just to ensure Shen Yinglong's absolute safety. Like an unknown shadow, he always existed for Shen Yinglong's existence.
Although the Shen family is the most powerful family in the north, in the bloody and cruel struggles in the past, there were many cases where the backbone of the various powerful families were eliminated by the enemy. In this generation, only Shen Ying is the only one in the Shen family. The descendant of the dragon.
So it was a great idea to find someone of the same age and with similar facial features as a stand-in for Shen Yinglong.
Shen Ke must be prepared to sacrifice his life for Shen Yinglong at any time and at any time, and the fact that he was given the word "Ke" nakedly revealed that he would always be nothing more than an outsider and a chess piece to the Shen family.
"How long do you want to think about it?" Shen Xueying asked impatiently.
"Don't force me, you know I can't do this. The fact that I didn't die in that snow forest that day is God's warning to me. I can't make the same mistake again and again!"
Shen Ke held his head in his hands, showing a very painful look. Because what happened was revealed, he no longer had the courage to stand up and confront Shen Yinglong.
Shen Xueying looked at Shen Ke who lowered his head indifferently. This man was really living a useless life. It seemed that it was unrealistic to expect him to help.
Just when Shen Xueying stood up and was about to leave, a strong wind suddenly hit her from behind. The cold blade directly pressed against her throat and swiped down from Shen Ke's sleeves behind her.
"Don't leave in a hurry!"
"According to the seniority in the family, I should call you sister, but it is a pity that you came back at the wrong time, and you should never do anything detrimental to the family. You have indeed forgotten your ancestors."
Count the classics and forget your ancestors?
When this word came out of Shen Ke's mouth, there was a particularly ridiculous sense of joy.
Shen Xueying glanced disdainfully at the blade of the knife that shone with cold light, but she stood up straight and confident as if nothing had happened. This idiot actually used the knife, and Jiang Chen was really right.
Thinking of this, Shen Xueying couldn't help but admire Jiang Chen a little bit more.
"Let me guess, you are basically a lackey around Shen Yinglong, and you never intended to betray him, right?"
"When He Yingqin found you, you deliberately pretended to hate Shen Yinglong. After gaining his trust, you betrayed him mercilessly."
"This assassination in the snow forest was caused by you leaking the news in advance, which led to the death of He Yingqin and all the twenty-seven people accompanying him!"
Shen Ke laughed wildly without concealing it, "Everything I have was given by the Shen family, why should I betray you?"
"He Yingqin actually believed me like this. It can only be said that his stupidity and arrogance killed him. It has nothing to do with me. Anyone who wants to threaten the Shen family will inevitably have this end!"
Then, Shen Ke paused again and said, "The same goes for you. As a traitor who was abandoned by the Shen family, you will receive the most severe punishment!"
Shen Xueying smiled lightly: "But I'm not happy."
"When death is imminent, can I still let you go?" As he spoke, Shen Ke tightened his grip on the knife in order to make his words more convincing.
The knife was very sharp. As long as he applied a little more force, it would definitely kill Shen Xueying. However, this woman seemed so calm, which made Shen Ke suspicious.
"Are you so calm? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Shen Xueying replied: "I am afraid of death, but it will definitely not be me who is going to die today."
"Joke! If it wasn't you, how could it be me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly broke through the door and before Shen Ke had time to react, he had already rushed in front of the two of them and swatted the knife away.
Jiang Chen's timing and means of taking action were impeccable. When Shen Ke finally realized his appearance, there was no weapon in his hand, and Shen Xueying was also unscathed. The three of them immediately took action in the small room. .
Shen Ke's skills are pretty good. After all, he has to sacrifice his own life for Shen Yinglong's life at the critical moment. Moreover, Shen Yinglong's hand is not bad, so as a scapegoat, he must be at least roughly similar to the original owner. Just fine.
It's a pity that Shen Ke bumped into Jiang Chen today, and all his methods were as useless against the latter. After a few rounds, Shen Ke was stepped on the ground by Jiang Chen.
"Can we talk now?" Jiang Chen lowered his head and looked at Shen Ke who had been stepped on the back of his head. The latter was sprawled on the ground. He tried to get up but found that his head was as heavy as a thousand pounds and he couldn't move at all.
"It doesn't matter how skilled you are. Don't think you can get out of here alive if you touch me. My men are all inside and outside the wine shop. Where can you escape?"
Jiang Chen raised his foot and stomped on Shen Ke several times, and said in a lecturing tone: "If I had known there was something evil in this wine shop, do you really think those useless losers could have protected you?"
"Now they are lying on the ground one by one, and their fate is worse than yours. But if you are unwilling to cooperate, I can also use some methods for you alone. By then you will clearly know what it means to be miserable."
Jiang Chen's words made Shen Ke feel scared. He had no doubt that this man really had horrific means to torture himself. Rather than suffer the pain later, it would be wiser to compromise now.
