Chapter 986 - 986 Island Life and Death Switch (1)

Chapter 986: Island Life and Death Switch (1) Chapter 986: Island Life and Death Switch (1) In the photo, the man’s exquisitely beautiful features radiated an intimidating coldness, his clear, bright violet eyes deep as pools, especially the sharpness between his brows, which sent shivers down one’s spine.

Jian Wei looked at the photograph, a hint of a smile spilling into her eyes.

Quite a match for her precious daughter!

Right now, Jian Wei was the typical mother-in-law who grew more pleased with her son-in-law the more she looked at him.

“What about Jian Luo, has he gotten married too?”

Thinking of Black Jack, a strange expression appeared on Shen Yan’s face as he coughed lightly, “Well, I’m not very clear on that. You’ll know once you see him.”

“But,” Jian Wei felt like he was implying something, and just as she was about to ask more about Jian Luo, he interrupted her.

“Alright, you’ve just woken up, don’t tire yourself out. Rest well for now, I’ll come back to see you later.” Saying this, Shen Yan bent down and whispered in her ear, “Jian Qing and the others are still waiting for my news.”

“Mhm.” Jian Wei nodded.

Shen Yan took a photo with his phone and then turned to leave.

Upon opening the door, he saw Shen Hua and Dr. Kesen discussing Jian Wei’s medical condition.

“Brother.”

Shen Hua stopped talking to Dr. Kesen and involuntarily looked inside the room, “How is she?”

“Brother, Awei just woke up. Don’t push her too hard, she’s not suited for excitement right now. Let her rest in peace for a bit,” Shen Yan said, pressing on his shoulder with a gentle voice.

“And you should cool down yourself.”

Shen Hua withdrew his gaze indifferently and gave an almost imperceptible nod.

“If possible, let her see Jian Qing. I assume you don’t want your relationship with her to become even more irreparable.”

After finishing, Shen Yan left without looking back, leaving Shen Hua standing alone at the door in contemplation.

After a long while, he grabbed the doorknob and closed the door.

Then, he went to Dr. Kesen’s Research Room.

Right after Jian Qing had gotten the two little treasures to sleep, Shen Yan arrived.

As soon as he stepped through the doorway, Jian Qing hurried to meet him.

“How’s my mother?”

“Let’s go inside and talk,” Shen Yan said.

A’er closed the door, and the whole group went upstairs.

The Study Room was tightly closed off.

Shen Yan took out his phone, opened the photo, and handed it to Jian Qing, “Although Awei has just woken up, her condition isn’t bad and luckily, she has no lingering issues like memory loss.”

Mo Xiao leaned over to look at the photo on the phone, the passage of time had not left its mark on the woman’s face. Her pale, melon-seed face was devoid of any color, resembling a water lily on the verge of withering at the end of autumn, fiercely gripping his heart.

His Weiwei!

“That’s great,” Jian Qing clutched the phone, her eyes brimming with an intense smile.

Mo Xiao looked up at Shen Yan, “Are you sure there aren’t any other complications?”

Shen Yan’s smile was filled with certainty, “Not for the moment, but we’ll have to see her recovery over the next couple of days. Don’t worry, with Dr. Kesen here, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”

“Uncle, could I borrow a computer?” Jian Qing asked.

She needed to leave this place as soon as possible so Bai Jue could treat her mother; only then would she rest assured.

Shen Yan could tell what she was thinking and shook his head slightly, “Even if I lent one to you, it would be of no use.”

He knew she was a queen in the cyber domain, but even if he gave her a computer, she couldn’t afford to act rashly.

Jian Qing, “What do you mean?”

“On this island, besides me and my brother, anyone who uses communication tools to contact the outside world will be monitored and discovered.”

What he didn’t mention was that his brother would occasionally use this to his advantage to guard against him.

Shen Yan glanced at them, his expression gradually becoming serious, “And the most important thing is, once my brother discovers that you have outside help coming, if he gets desperate, he’ll choose to die with you all rather than let you leave. To tell you the truth, this island has bombs buried underground, designed specifically by my brother, and only he knows the location of the remote-control switch.”

Upon hearing this, Jian Qing and Quan Jingwu exchanged a glance, a solemn look fleeting across their eyes.

Setting up such a mechanism in one’s own lair, Shen Hua is truly a madman.

“You don’t need to worry too much, I’ve said that I will get you off the island and I will make it happen,” Shen Yan said with a faint smile.

“Awei just woke up and shouldn’t be overexerted. She needs to rest for a couple of days, and my brother will surely be staying in the pavilion frequently during this time, so we must be very careful and cautious in our actions.”

Jian Qing frowned and looked directly at Shen Yan, “Are you really not going to leave with me?”

Knowing that she was worried about him, Shen Yan hooked up the corner of his mouth, “Don’t worry about me, maybe my brother will go easy on me and not finish me off. At worst, he’ll just beat me up badly.”

Jian Qing fell silent, her mind already made up that she would drag Shen Yan away when the time came.

The night was sparse with starlight.

A’er brought in medicine and looked up to see Shen Yan standing in front of the French window, his lean figure surrounded by a touch of solitude.

He suppressed the worry in his eyes and hurried over, “Second Young Master, it’s time for your medicine.”

“A’er, when the time comes, leave with Jian Qing and the others. You’re still young, there’s no need for you to die with me,” Shen Yan said in a quiet voice.

Without a second thought, A’er outright refused, “Second Young Master, you saved my life. I will stay by your side forever.”

No matter what happens.

Shen Yan’s heart warmed, he turned around, his gaze landing on A’er, “I didn’t save you to have you die with me.”

He paused, took a step forward, raised his hand to rest it on his shoulder, and said with a teasing smile, “Live a good life on my behalf as well, during Qingming Festival I’ll still be counting on you to burn lots of paper money for me.”

He made the last remark jokingly, but to A’er, it felt like a weight on his chest.

“Second Young Master!”

“All right, that’s settled then, I…”

Mid-sentence, Shen Yan’s face suddenly turned pale, his expression filled with pain.

He clutched his chest, clearly having another attack.

“Second Young Master, what’s wrong?”

A’er was startled, hurriedly helping him to sit down and then bringing the water and pills to his lips, feeding them to him.

“Second Young Master, wait here, I’ll go get Dr. Kesen.”

Shen Yan stopped him, “Don’t go.”

“Second Young Master, you…” Looking at Shen Yan’s weakened state, A’er’s face showed helplessness. His attempts to persuade died in his throat upon meeting the determination in Shen Yan’s eyes.

“I’ve taken the medicine, I won’t be in danger, no need to worry,” Shen Yan said breathlessly, his voice hoarse, “Once you go for Dr. Kesen, my brother will definitely be alerted.”

If that happened, his brother would surely force Jian Qing to give up her heart for him, and it could also disrupt his initial plans.

A’er gazed at him steadily, without saying a word.

After a moment, the room filled with the sound of a sigh.

Elsewhere

Looking at the closed door, Shen Hua hesitated to move forward.

He held the doorknob, yet he never opened the door to enter.

Catching a glimpse of the chain on his wrist, the gentle light in his eyes was fleeting.
