Chapter 687: 687, no kidding, you’ll never know.
Shi Xiuren is the one who holds power in the Shi Family, his influence is not to be underestimated.
If Shi Yuhuan moved against him, it had better be in utter silence, for if anyone found out and the evidence was conclusive, Shi Yuhuan’s fate would be miserable indeed. After all, the branches of the Shi Family are not to be trifled with.
Shi Yuhuan leaned back on the sofa, smiling ambiguously, “Grandfather, you are my grandfather. What are you insinuating? How could I possibly wish to harm you? You are my own flesh and blood. Under any circumstances, I would ensure you live your life in peace and contentment. I’m simply worried about you getting older while the affairs of the Shi Family continually plague you. That’s why I’ve decided to take up the heavy responsibilities of the Shi Family, so that you can, in the future, live a relaxed and peaceful life in your twilight years!”
“Very well,” Shi Xiuren laughed, a cold and chilling layer covered his previously foggy eyes, “You’ve certainly put though into this. It’s a pity, however, that I’m not interested in a peaceful retirement.”
This response was completely within Shi Yuhuan’s expectations.
He cracked a smile, a cold and chilling one: “Grandfather, you worry so much. I imagine my late father and second uncle in heaven must be quite anxious about this.”
Shi Yuhuan’s expression turned somber.
He snapped coldly: “How dare you mention your second uncle?”
“Why can’t I bring him up? I believe that if my second uncle knew I found his murderer, he would be very very grateful.” Shi Yuhuan said lightly, his tone and manner utterly confident, as if he was telling the other party he knew everything.
Shi Xiuren reflexively blurted out in response: “Who?”
Shi Yuhuan did not rush to reply.
He pulled out a cell phone, placed it on the coffee table, and said to the old man, “This is my second uncle’s cell phone. There’s a deleted voice recording on it. It was deleted the day he died. I had a technician recover the recording. Would you like to listen, grandfather?”
The old man did not respond, he just stared at him: “…” 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Shi Yuhuan said, “Those were words you once said to my second uncle…”
He did not finish the next part of his sentence, just looked at him.
Still, Shi Xiuren kept his composure, his facial expression quickly returning to normal, followed by a chuckle: “What did I say? Let’s hear it…”
Then he sighed: “Yuhuan, no matter what I’ve done, it’s all for you. I’ve been preserving the Shi Family all these years for your sake, because in my heart, you’re the only suitable heir to the Shi family.”
Shi Yuhuan examined him carefully, a smile slowly spreading across his face: “Grandfather, did you know? The phone is fake, as is the recording, yet you believed it. Could it be because you felt guilty? In that case, it can be confirmed that my second uncle’s case is related to grandfather. So, I now want to ask grandfather, how did my second uncle die?”
“You dare to trick me!” The old man was likely livid, his forehead veins throbbing.
He never expected that all his life’s manipulations and calculations would be undermined by such a minor detail.
Shi Yuhuan said coldly: “Without tricking you, I would never find out.”
The old man’s eyes flashed murderously, then his hand tightened around the Dragonhead Cane.
Shi Yuhuan watched him calmly, “How were you able to bring yourself to murder your own son?”
Saying that, his gaze swept around the room before narrowing subtly.
