Chapter 798: Chapter 834: Since Yu has been born, why should Liang exist?

Qin Yue swept a glance and knew that under Shen Yu’s clothes, there must be myriad scars. The once dashing General Star had become a rat across the street that everyone wanted to hit—now, he was just a dog that anyone could step on.

In fact, being sentenced to death was a relief for Shen Yu, or perhaps it was a fate worse than living.

“I knew you’d come,” Shen Yu said, his head hung low, guessing who the visitor was just by the sound of footsteps.

“Your hearing’s improved, huh!”

“Only Little Hooligans could make such an indecent sound when walking.”

Qin Yue leaned casually against the railing and said, “The Young Chairman also said that.”

At the mention of Meng Fan, Shen Yu suddenly lifted his head, his eyes bloodshot, startling Qin Yue.

“What’s with that ghostly look? Even in the Detention Room, people ‘hosted’ you—clearly, someone hated you enough to wish you dead.”

“Don’t mention him to me,” Shen Yu’s voice was hoarse, as if something sharp was scraping glass, sending chills down one’s spine.

“You hate him that much?” Qin Yue crossed his arms and watched him with interest. “It’s really hard to imagine that even men could be so terrifyingly jealous. You really shattered my worldview.”

“I was born for Yū and not for Liang.”

“Hahaha… Everyone says Qin Yue has a thick face, but I think it’s really you who should take the cake. That face of yours, tsk tsk tsk… With your virtue, you’re comparable to Zhou Yu?”

“I’m not worthy,” Shen Yu laughed coldly, the venom and ruthlessness in his eyes not concealed, “You think killing me will avenge Meng Fan? How naive. When I die, Xu Qigang will take the fall—it’s quite a good deal.”

Qin Yue’s expression remained unchanged, but the fists at his side quietly clenched.

Seeing that his provocations didn’t make Qin Yue erupt in anger, Shen Yu felt a bit disappointed, “Little Hooligan, I know what you’re here for. The Living Yama hasn’t come back yet, has he? It’s been a whole month and a half; his corpse is probably being eaten by wolves now.”

“Are you dreaming? The sun hasn’t set yet. Scarface isn’t a match for the Living Yama. He has a hard life; even King Yan wouldn’t dare take him.”

Shen Yu’s pupils shrank, and he squinted to see Qin Yue’s expression clearly, “He hasn’t come back in so many days; you know it in your heart.”

“Let’s talk about Scarface! How did you end up roped in with such trash? Don’t you feel like it’s a downgrade?” Qin Yue shrugged nonchalantly, “I always admired you to some extent, but getting involved with Scarface was a deathly mistake, one that will leave you infamous forever.”

The mention of Scarface made Shen Yu swing his hand fiercely, his fist smashing down on the table, the handcuffs clanging loudly upon impact. His only goal had been to kill Meng Fan; he hadn’t foreseen Scarface’s other identity.

Shen Yu was always deep and scheming in his lifetime, whether it was plotting against people or events; he never made major mistakes. Except in the matter regarding Scarface—it was a major stumble that also brought down his family, causing everyone misfortune.

Cruel and ruthless as he was, he had never thought of getting involved with a Hired Soldier. At first, he was very wary of Scarface, always on guard. But Scarface proved too useful, managing everything without leaving any troubles behind. Over time, Shen Yu came to regard him as a confidant, hiding nothing from him.

He left everything to him to handle, never expecting… truly never expecting.

“Time is up, please leave immediately,” a comrade watching outside came in through the door.

“Yes!” Qin Yue glanced at his wristwatch and it was indeed time for the trial to begin, just shy of a little more time. It was such a pity; Shen Yu’s defenses were gradually crumbling. Given a bit more time, perhaps he could have dug up even more useful information.
