Chapter 903: Chapter 543: Sudden Crisis: A Vicious Framing (Part 2)
Shen Lao, being a clever person, immediately understood his meaning: "You want me to persuade Shen Shuci to falsify testimony and say she never saw you together? Thatâs illegal."
"That woman was willing to have a relationship with me at the time, and now sheâs turning against me. Am I supposed to just sit here and wait for it?"
Shen Lao, helpless, at the end of the day, itâs just dog eat dog, with none having a clean slate.
"Since itâs slander, you should trust the law to clear your name. If thereâs nothing else, Iâll be leaving..." Shen Lao said, then lifted his foot to leave.
The meaning was clear: he wouldnât help plead for him and Shen Shuci.
The old man wasnât foolish.
Neither of them were good people. Actually, Shen Shuci was simply stating what she saw. As for whether itâs slander or constitutes a crime, thatâs up to the police and judge.
But once she gives false testimony, temporarily changes her statement, provides false evidence, she would face consequences.
Moreover, sheâs in a key phase of political screening now, definitely canât be involved in such dirty affairs.
This matter ultimately has nothing to do with them. Theyâre merely cooperating with the police investigation. But once they agree to falsify evidence for him, then theyâre involved. Shen Lao, although aged, is not dim-witted.
You Shenming gritted his teeth and quickly chased up, grabbing Shen Laoâs arm, "Please wait."
"What are you doing?" Shen Lao immediately flung his hand away.
The movement was swift, somewhat impatient, coupled with a poor impression of him, the tone was particularly harsh.
As if lingering just a moment would contaminate with some filth.
Normally, You Shenming might not react so strongly, but he had just suffered a setback at Jiang Shiyiâs place, his mind filled with the image of his demeanor, and the look in his eyes when he said âdirty.â
Contempt, disdain, scorn...
The surge of anger welled up, coupled with many aggrieved incidents lately, he was utterly infuriated.
"Isnât it just because youâve currying favor with the Huo Family, pretending to be high and mighty in front of me? I sought your help because I valued you."
"Just got in with the Huo Family and rushed to settle in Beijing, sticking around, isnât it to exploit their network and connections?"
"Why put on airs in front of me!"
...
Shen Lao frowned, glanced at him coldly as if looking at an idiot, "Think whatever you want."
Finished speaking, he walked away.
You Shenming had been bottling up too much rage lately; how could even an old man give him attitude now? In a fit of anger, disregarding his original intent, he reached to grab him, "What do you mean think whatever I want? Without the Huo Family, what is the Shen Family? You think anyone in Beijing cares?"
"It was said that Jiang Jinsang wouldnât live past 28, and yet you rushed to send Tang Wan to him."
"Just a small favor, why act so pretentious!"
He naturally had a filthy mouth, otherwise wouldnât have provoked Huo Ran at the club then.
Shen Lao couldnât be bothered with him, shrugged him off and strode forward.
You Shenming seemingly wanted to vent all his pent-up anger on him, raised his hand to press his shoulder, Shen Lao didnât wish to engage him, just that the shameless are often the hardest to deal with.
His age was advanced, and the corridor of the hospital wasnât very spacious, after several rounds of pushing and shoving, he staggered and slammed straight into the wall behind him.
"Thumpâ" a muffled sound rang out, his body pressed against the wall, weakly sliding down, fainted.
A streak of blood appeared on the wall, starkly vivid against the white surface.
You Shenming was utterly dumbfounded.
He trembled as he bent over, reaching out to test the breath before his nose, perhaps due to weak respiration, or perhaps he was too nervous, he couldnât feel the breath...
Stunned on the spot, until hearing the vibration of a cell phone, coming from Shen Laoâs pocket.
A flash of realization snapped him back, panic-stricken, he hurriedly ran to the side like a headless fly, into a no-exit alley.
At this time, in the secluded corridor, footsteps sounded, terrified, his legs went weak, not knowing where to flee.
"Grandpaâ" Tang Wanâs voice came through!
His mind blanked out, eyes lost in void, frightened till his whole body went limp, heart pounding wildly, hitting the throat.
"...F-Father, Grandpaâs in trouble, Iâm here in the logistics section, thereâs a warehouse..." Tang Wan hadnât finished the call, seemed someone was passing by.
"You donât move him, Iâll call for help!"
"Thanks." Tang Wanâs voice was very urgent.
Soon he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, accompanied by the harsh sound of the stretcherâs wheels scraping the ground, he shrank in that dead end alley, dazed...
Heâs dead, and Iâm finished.
This is going to be big trouble.
"...Please slow down a little, thank you." Tang Wanâs voice was very urgent, chaotic and busy, accompanied by hurried footsteps, the whole world seemed to quiet down.
