Chapter 218: Chapter 218 Yunshen’s Heart is Ruthless and His Hand is Merciless

Shen Ruyun’s explanation went in one of Qin Yan’s ears and out the other, her face tinged with indifference.

She had been involved in Qin Yinyin’s kidnapping, never intending to receive any words of apology from Shen Ruyun.

From the start, all she had in mind was revenge!

The slap on Yinyin’s face, and the account of her near-death experience at the hands of the kidnappers—Shen Ruyun getting slapped a few times was far from enough!

Bo Yuanshan’s expression was far from pleasant. He glanced at Qin Yan and felt another surge of anger.

The achievements Qin Yan had made at Bo Group over the years were clear for all to see. And here was his daughter-in-law, Shen Ruyun, who also held shares in Bo Group!

Not contributing anything constructive, she was instead devoting herself to underhanded schemes?

Mrs. Bo had fainted from the shock and was now waking up.

Shen Ruyun trembled again, not daring to stand up as she remained on her knees. Mrs. Bo had heard her trying to deceive Bo Yuanshan, but since Bo Yuanshan was still in a rage, she held back her temper and said nothing.

Qin Yan stood still, holding the sleeping Qin Yinyin in her arms. The light faded from her expression, casting an inexplicable chill over her face.

He lifted his leg and kicked Shen Ruyun aside, saying harshly, "And then there’s the matter of Yinyin’s kidnapping..."

How could Shen Ruyun admit to such a thing? Almost the moment Bo Yuanshan spoke, Shen Ruyun took up the thread, hurriedly defending herself: "Dad, the kidnapping of Yinyin has nothing to do with me!"

"I am being wrongfully accused!"

"I certainly don’t know any kidnappers!"

Shen Ruyun, regardless of the pain from the whipping, was not mindful of her suffering. The Bo Family had considerable assets. Although she only held a small portion of the shares, it was still sufficient for her to squander away!

She also had gambling debts outside, and truly feared Bo Yuanshan—worried that a few lashes would not fully vent his anger, he might reclaim the shares she held!

Shen Ruyun rolled her eyes, licked the corner of her lips, and, enduring the pain, crawled over to hold Mrs. Bo’s hand: "Mom, you know what kind of person I am. How could I possibly do something so cruel?"

"Qin Yan must be holding a grudge because I pushed her on the mountain, so she taught the child to say these things!"

"Mom..."

Mrs. Bo’s face turned pale. Over the years, Shen Ruyun’s tactics in coaxing Mrs. Bo had improved. Even though Mrs. Bo was still upset about Shen Ruyun mortgaging Bo Yun Ci’s house, she still turned to look at Qin Yan with suspicion as Shen Ruyun spoke.

After marrying into the Bo Family, Qin Yan had never lived there for a day.

But Shen Ruyun had been following her around!

Being scrutinized by Mrs. Bo, Qin Yan’s expression remained unchanged. She shifted Yinyin to a different position and asked,

"So what are you trying to say, Sister-in-law? That you couldn’t carry out something so cruel, implying that everything from start to end was done by Yunshen alone?"

"Yunshen is ruthless and merciless?"

Bo Yunshen felt a jolt at Qin Yan’s words.

Involuntarily, his eyebrows knitted tightly together.

What was Qin Yan implying?

Was she trying to continue putting on a show for the old man?

Even if the old man had whipped him, was Qin Yan’s hatred still not assuaged?

What did she want to do? Demand his life in recompense for Yinyin’s?

Thinking this, Bo Yunshen’s face darkened dramatically. There weren’t many ways for the old man to torment people; just the whip was enough.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t be bothered by a few lashes!

But on the mountain, he had sustained serious injuries while saving Qin Yan. His chest felt terribly uncomfortable!

If the old man whipped him a few more times, he might truly die here!

Bo Yunshen took a deep breath. He had been a fool; even if he had risked his life to save Qin Yan on the mountain, the situation couldn’t be reversed once they came down.

Being accused of wanting Qin Yan’s life for no reason was bad enough, but even that little brat got involved!

When it came to this matter, Bo Yunshen certainly didn’t believe it had nothing to do with Qin Yan!

Qin Yan, impressive indeed!

Really impressive, Qin Yan!

Not even caring about the life or death of Qin Yinyin, she still plotted against him!

He just didn’t know what kind of surprise Qin Yan had prepared for him later on.

Perhaps feeling that he couldn’t escape his fate of being taught another lesson by Bo Yuanshan today, Bo Yunshen actually wasn’t in a hurry either and simply stood up from the ground.

Leaning on the chair in the study, he took a deep breath before turning his head to check the situation outside.

With just a few words, Qin Yan silenced the entire living room.

Bo Yunshen was the only child of the Bo Family, and if he truly harbored any ill intent towards Qin Yinyin’s life, wouldn’t Bo Yuanshan want his life?!

Mrs. Bo’s pupils shrank, and she instinctively glared at Shen Ruyun.

Under the pressure, Shen Ruyun’s breathing tightened, and her voice trembled slightly, "No, what I meant was, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter..."

"My mother didn’t teach me anything; it was you!"

"You know Uncle Big Beard, and you even call him Mr. Qian!"

Qin Yinyin’s face scrunched up, she choked up, and said to Qin Yan, "Mom, the third aunty also scolded Yinyin, calling Yinyin a bastard, saying Yinyin has no shame!"

"Yinyin was afraid that mom would be anxious if she couldn’t find Yinyin and refused to go with them, so the third aunty hit Yinyin!"

"She also said that the Bo Family couldn’t bear a child like me, an ill-mannered thing!"

Qin Yan’s face turned imperceptibly pale for a moment.

At the same time, her arms, which were holding Qin Yinyin, involuntarily tightened.

She had anticipated Shen Ruyun would say some unpleasant words, but she hadn’t expected Shen Ruyun to target a child like this!

She shivered upon hearing this, her figure swayed slightly, and the corner of her mouth twitched, as the last bit of hesitation in her heart vanished.

"Dad, since Yinyin has said this, why not give the police station a call?"

"I, too, want to understand what happened!"

Qin Yan moistened her dry lips before she continued, "The title ’Mr. Qian’ sounds like the name of a notorious figure from the underworld, and since he’s willing to help my sister-in-law, there must be a debt relationship!"

"Please make sure to investigate this matter, lest I wrong my sister-in-law unjustly!"

With just a few casual remarks, Qin Yan hit the nail on the head.

Shen Ruyun’s body stiffened, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly met Qin Yan’s gaze.

Her eyes were icy cold, and Shen Ruyun inexplicably shivered, the remaining words getting sealed in her mouth, unable to utter a single one!

She had a premonition that if she kept explaining, her fate would be even worse!

Shen Ruyun’s face turned a shade paler as she reconsidered.

Qin Yinyin wasn’t a child of the Bo Family; even if they did find out something, what could be done?

After all, this mongrel was fine, and Bo Yuanshan would surely not really do anything to her!

Shen Ruyun’s thoughts fluttered, clutching onto a sliver of hope.

What Qin Yan said made sense; Bo Yuanshan actually believed Qin Yinyin’s words. She was very clever, articulate, with clear and pure eyes. When mentioning Shen Ruyun, there was also fear in those eyes.

It didn’t seem like nonsense!

But, she wouldn’t give up hope unless she reached a dead end at the Huang River.
