Chapter 901 The Mystery is Unveiled
"No matter who they are, I’m going to make them disappear from this world! Uncle Shen, let’s go back to the study and wait. If I’m not mistaken, they’re bound to call you. They’ve caused such a big commotion, it’s impossible they won’t state their demands. Let’s wait for their call."
Lin Feng’s words were icy cold, and anyone could feel his rage. He now knew the identity of the enemy, an assassination organization known as Dark Demons, with formidable strength—his underlings had even reached the late AAA level. It was clear that their power was exceptional, but no matter who it was, if they touched Ding Wan’er or Shen Yao, Lin Feng would erase them from this world.
Even in a state of fury, Lin Feng hadn’t lost his reasoning. He analyzed that everything the other side had done was aimed at striking at the Shen Family, with a simple objective: to show the Shens their power and that they had Ding Wan’er and Shen Yao in their clutches. They had the leverage to make any demand, and Shen Tian couldn’t refuse. That had to be their ultimate goal; otherwise, they wouldn’t go out of their way to trouble the Shens for no reason.
Thinking about this, Lin Feng calmed down. The best approach now was to use the forthcoming call to pinpoint the enemy’s location. That was the most important thing. As long as he knew where they were, it was time to take action. That’s why he suggested waiting in the study for news to Shen Tian.
"Alright, we’ll go back and wait for news. Uncle Fu, please take care of Changfeng and see that he heals properly," said Shen Tian, agreeing with Lin Feng’s reasoning. At this moment, they didn’t even know the enemy’s location, so panicking was useless. It was better to wait for the call and then see what demands came forth.
After instructing Uncle Fu, Shen Tian and Lin Feng returned to the study. Uncle Fu promptly called people to move He Changfeng into a guest room to recover.
Back in the study, Shen Tian sat on the couch, smoking and planning potential counter-strategies in his head, while Lin Feng went to the computer to check again for signals from Ding Wan’er’s and Shen Yao’s cell phones. He felt anxious, but there was nothing to do but wait for the call.
Time passed unknowably, and soon, the sun was about to set. The clouds in the sky were ablaze with the glow of a sunset, their moods akin to the burning clouds, seething. After Uncle Fu had arranged everything, he joined them in the study, ready to follow Shen Tian’s orders at a moment’s notice.
Just then, Shen Tian’s phone suddenly rang with a completely unfamiliar satellite number, lifting their spirits. As Shen Tian was about to take the call, Lin Feng said to him, "Try to stall for as much time as possible," and Shen Tian understood what Lin Feng intended. He nodded to show his agreement and then answered the call, putting it on speakerphone so both could hear and learn the caller’s purpose.
After such a long wait, what was the call about?
By now, Lin Feng had prepared everything and was ready to track the caller as soon as the call connected, and...
...
"Shen Tian, you never imagined this day would come, haha... Didn’t you always think you were an untouchable business emperor? That no one would dare touch you or the Shen Family? Everything that has happened today is meant to tell you that I am the one who will destroy it all, the one you could never fathom!"
On the other end of the phone, Yang Shu spoke arrogantly. The immense hatred he held for Shen Tian was indescribable—his father’s murder, a vendetta that could not coexist under the heavens. It was this desire for revenge that had led him into the path of being an assassin. One could say that his current life, supported by vengeance, had led him to this moment. He had waited a long time for today, not only to avenge his father but also to take back everything that was once his, multiplied a hundred, a thousand times over.
The reason he was only now phoning Shen Tian was because all the plans had been successfully carried out. His subordinates had obtained what he wanted from Shen Tian’s vault and had returned to his side. And now, they had already departed Yuegang on a private plane. Shen Tian had no way to touch him; he was free of any worries. Only then did he dial Shen Tian’s phone.
"Who are you, exactly? Why would you do this?" Shen Tian’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the other party say this. Just as he had anticipated, the person was here for revenge. However, Shen Tian couldn’t figure out what kind of hatred could drive someone to so crazily target the Shen Family. He racked his brain but couldn’t identify who the person could be because, in his memory, he couldn’t find anyone with such deep hatred toward him.
Shen Tian appeared extremely calm on the surface, but inside he was truly panicked, terribly worried about his daughter and Ding Wan’er’s safety. He really didn’t want anything to happen to them at all—it was something he absolutely would not allow. But Shen Tian knew that in moments like these, it was even more crucial to remain calm; otherwise, he would lose his reason and give his opponent an advantage, which would put them completely at the other’s mercy. A situation like that wouldn’t just be detrimental to rescuing his daughter and the others, it could even endanger them, and that was absolutely unacceptable.
That’s why Shen Tian didn’t immediately ask where his daughter and the others were, but instead wanted to first understand who the person on the other end of the line really was. Knowing the background of the person was the only way to get to the truth. There could perhaps be a turnaround—though that was not certain. Even if it came to naught, understanding who the person was would make it easier to eradicate them at the roots in the future.
Lin Feng, when he heard the voice on the phone, furrowed his brow, but he didn’t speak. He only felt that the other party’s intent was not as straightforward as taking hostages for a huge sum of money from Shen Tian; they must have had some other goals. However, Lin Feng merely considered this briefly, then his hands moved like phantoms across the keyboard. Now, he needed to pinpoint the other party’s location in the shortest possible time.
Uncle Fu, who was standing nearby, found this very strange. He had followed Shen Tian for many years and never knew that Shen Tian had such an enemy. He too was eager to know who the person on the other end of the line was and what grudge they held with the Shen Family.
"Who I am? You probably don’t even remember. Back then, I was just a small boy of 10 years old. Let me remind you, do you recall how you got started? Maybe you’ve already forgotten all about the past, right? Now that you have become a super tycoon in Yuegang, how could you possibly remember what happened back then?"
"That’s right, I am the son of Yang Shouye, Yang Shu. Now you know who I am, don’t you? You could never have imagined that the small 10-year-old boy from back then would come to take revenge on you now, ha ha..."
"You know, back in the day, you were promoted by my father himself, and you became a senior executive of Yang Corporation. Then suddenly, you broke away, pulling all of Yang’s clients with you, causing Yang Corporation to immediately fall into a slump. Later on, I don’t know where you got your support from, but you kept on suppressing Yang Corporation, causing its shares to plummet until it finally collapsed. You were there, kicking us when we were down, picking us clean after bankruptcy, and completely wiped the Yang name from Yuegang."
"Do you know, when Yang Corporation was completely erased, my father couldn’t cope with what had happened and poisoned himself. The moment my father died, I had already made up my mind. No matter the price, I was going to avenge my father. But I was still too young back then, I understood ’A gentleman’s revenge is not too late, even after ten years.’ Not even my mother knew that her son of merely 10 years old could harbor such thoughts."
"After my father’s funeral was dealt with and there was no other choice, my mother could only take me back to M Country. At my grandfather’s home in M Country, I stayed until now. For the sake of revenge, at the tender age of 10, I left a letter for my mother and then I disappeared. Later, by chance, I met my master. Following my master’s side, I persistently cultivated, persistently killed, all to improve my abilities so that one day, I could kill you with my own hands and avenge my father!"
"And it was from that time that this world no longer had a Yang Shu; all that was left was a God of Night Assassins, living on the conviction of revenge! For the sake of revenge, I could endure any pain. For revenge, I transformed from an innocent little boy into a fearsome killer that people dreaded. And all of this is because of you, Shen Tian. Without you, I would probably still be Yuegang’s darling young master. All of this was gifted by you!"
"I can’t wait to have you flayed alive and dismembered, ha ha..."
As Yang Shu reflected on the past events, the deepest wounds in his heart seemed to be reopened, salt rubbing into them, and he became hysterical. Because of his desire for revenge, he’d suffered far too much, even taken to that terrifying Biochemical Test Base, and put through ordeals beyond common imagination—all because of Shen Tian. If it wasn’t for Shen Tian, how could he have ended up on this path?
Thinking of his father’s face when he died, his mother’s broken heart, the mansion seized by the bank, his mother taking him back to M Country in loneliness... Reminiscing...
Yang Shu’s eyes welled up with tears. He had come this far today for revenge, to reclaim everything that was rightfully his and to bring his mother back to their former lives. For that day, he had waited too long. For this moment, he prepared for decades, to strike precisely and leave Shen Tian no chance to fight back.
And in fact, he had succeeded. From the very start of his actions today, everything had unfolded according to his plan. This time, there was no way Shen Tian could escape death. He must take Shen Tian’s head to pay tribute to his father so that his father’s spirit may rest in peace.
