Chapter 688: 688, vanish into thin air, never to rise again forever
A deadly plot loomed.
Shi Yuhuan, who had encountered death several times, instantly sniffed out the unusual air.
However, he remained calm and looked indifferently at the old master of Shi: “Grandpa, if you could harm my second uncle, then you could do the same to my father. You prevented an investigation into my father’s affairs, and previously admitted it was due to the actions of my second uncle. Could it be that it wasn’t, and your reluctance to investigate was because you are the real puppet master, grandpa?”
The look in his eyes carried a hint of a bloody smell, but it was concealed under a calm and profound expression. Shi Xiuren replied gravely, “Precisely, it’s you who cannot be spared.”
“So, Grandpa wants to get rid of me now, and still can kill me, right?” Shi Yuhuan asked nonchalantly.
Shi Xiuren sighed, “Whether you believe it or not, everything I’ve done was to make the Shi Family stronger, and to raise a competent successor to take over the Shi Family.”
Shi Yuhuan asked, “Am I a competent successor then?”
Shi Xiuren responded, “You are, it’s just unfortunate…”
Yuhuan’s face remained cold and serious, but there was a slight smirk appearing on his lips. He mocked his grandfather: “So, you finally raised a competent heir, but are unsatisfied?”
Shi Xiuren: “…”
His gaze and expression turned cold as Shi Yuhuan continued, “Or is it because you’re worried, that after the matter of my father comes to light, I will no longer show you any filial piety?”
The Grandmaster said softly, “Believe it or not, the last thing I want is your father’s death, I wish he could live on.”
Shi Yuhuan sneered, “Unfortunately, he is dead, dying in the wild. You once taught me that as the future head of the family, I must obliterate our enemies, to tarnish any chance they have of rising again. My father’s death could never be forgotten. When I was in despair, I swore, whoever it was, I would make them pay for my father’s death as you taught me, making them vanish into thin air, never to reemerge.”
Shi Yuhuan slowly stood up, turned, and walked out.
He was graceful and composed even though he sensed the imminent danger.
As soon as Yuhuan left the hall, the butler emerged from the corner.
He did not have the respect he had just shown to Shi Yuhuan. He coldly watched the direction Yuhuan had gone, and asked Shi Xiuren: “Master, why didn’t you order… If he leaves today, he will become a big problem in the future.”
Old Master Shi glanced coldly at him, “You think he is Shi Shouye? You should know that there are many people in the Shi Country Villa today, but wanting to detain him is utterly impossible. What he has experienced in the ten years of his disappearance still cannot be discovered. We know nothing about his background, so there’s no way to be a hundred percent sure. Let them all leave, I have my ways to deal with him.”
The butler bowed his head respectfully: “Yes, Master.”

When Song Qinghuan woke up, it was already dark. The bedroom was empty. She went downstairs, but there was no one in the living room either, everyone seemed to have left.
The house had a small backyard. Song Qinghuan seemed to hear someone talking over there, so she decided to walk over.
As soon as she cracked open the door, she heard Xia Yang’s angry voice: “The old master of the Shi family is truly a freak. These are his own sons and grandsons, how could he do this to them? If I didn’t know better, I would think that these were not his children and grandchildren.”
