I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 804: The old friend is gone, but the kindness remains

After Shen Zhuang emerged from Shen Jun's house, he stared at the four-room house, feeling slightly dazed. The world seemed to be enclosed within this square ruler, oppressing him to the point of suffocation.

"dad."

Shen Qian and Shen Rang were still waiting for Shen Zhuang in the main room. Seeing that he looked lonely, they hurried out to greet him.

Shen Rang asked anxiously, "Dad, what did uncle say?"

Just now, Shen Jun avoided and Shen Zhuang followed. The two must have been discussing how to deal with Shen Hang.

Shen Zhuang thought of Shen Jun's instructions, and his expression grew heavier. "Where's Shen Hang?"

Shen Rang replied, "He's like crazy. He refuses to admit his mistakes and says we have no right to punish him. He wants to call the police and arrest us! He says our Shen family is an illegal centralized power."

Shen Zhuang frowned and looked down at the heavy envelope in his hand. "Take me to see it."

"Yes."

Shen Rang was about to lead the way when Shen Zhuang suddenly stopped, as if he realized something, and his whole body began to tremble violently.

He and Shen Jun were both taught by the same man - his father, Shen Fu.

"If a son does not teach his parents well, it is his father's fault. A father should be like a mountain, supporting him in good times and paving the way for his successors in bad times."

That's why his father kept going forward even though he knew it was a dead end. What about Shen Jun?

Shen Zhuang stuffed the iron box into Shen Rang's hands and tremblingly tore open the letter in his hand. He opened it and took a quick glance. At just one glance, Shen Zhuang felt his eyes go dark, his blood rushed back, his ears buzzed, and the whole world shook.

"dad!"

"dad!"

Shen Rang and Shen Qian were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly supported Shen Zhuang, who was almost collapsed, on the left and right.

Shen Zhuang clutched the thin yet weighty piece of letter paper tightly, like a dying man grasping at a last piece of driftwood. He turned toward the old house and, with all his strength, stumbled toward the creaking wooden door he had just left.

Shen Rang and Shen Qian didn't understand what was going on, but the old man's instantly pale face and the huge panic in his eyes made their hearts sink, and they immediately followed him.

Shen Zhuang rushed to the old house. The mottled wooden door was closed tightly, isolating the inside and outside. It was terrifyingly quiet.

He slowly raised his hand, but his movements were frozen by extreme fear, his fingertips trembling so violently that he couldn't push open the door, which was not heavy at all.

"Brother..." He shouted hoarsely, his voice heavy and trembling.

After a moment, there was no response from inside. A deathly silence seeped out from the crack in the door, chilling to the bone.

Shen Rang stepped forward and said, "Dad, let me do it..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Zhuang burst out with strength from nowhere and slammed the door open!

The afternoon sun was cut by the torn doorway, shining obliquely into the house, and dust danced wildly in the beam of light.

Under the light and shadow, Shen Jun's figure came into view clearly.

He hung quietly under the beam, wearing an old-fashioned long gown starched to a pale white, his hair meticulously combed. A rough hemp rope was tied around his old neck, the other end tied to the faded beam they had climbed together in their youth.

His body swayed slightly with the draft of air that had knocked the door open, casting a chilling shadow. His head drooped, his face calm, almost serene, as if he had finally unburdened himself of a heavy burden and fallen into a deep sleep. Those eyes, always filled with gentleness and fortitude, were closed, never to be opened again.

"uncle!!!"

Shen Qian and Shen Rang never expected to see such a scene when they opened the door. After being stunned, they subconsciously looked at Shen Zhuang.

Shen Zhuang's eyes were bloodshot and flickering as he slowly walked towards Shen Jun...

"Let me out! Why are you locking me up? You're illegally imprisoning me. Do you still have the law?"

Shen Hang was locked up in the abandoned warehouse of the old house. Because of his crazy behavior, the Shen family was afraid that something might happen, so they tied him directly to an old wooden bench.

Shen Hang was nearly driven mad. He knew that Shen Zhuang would never help him find his child, so he decided to go all out, deceiving himself into thinking that if he could show the Li family his loyalty, his child might even have a better life.

"boom--"

The heavy wooden door of the warehouse was violently pushed open from the outside.

The dazzling sunlight suddenly rushed in, illuminating the dust flying in the air.

Shen Hang squinted his eyes because of the bright light. In the backlight, a figure stood at the door, like a cold stone tablet.

"Let him go." Shen Zhuang's voice was hoarse, with a tiredness as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper.

The tribesmen behind him were stunned for a moment and seemed a little hesitant, but under Shen Zhuang's cold gaze, they stepped forward and untied the ropes on Shen Hang.

Shen Hang rubbed his wrist, which had been deeply bruised by the strangulation, and was about to sneer and say something harsh. But before he could open his mouth, a rough, cold white cloth was thrown at him, falling on his knees.

It was a neatly folded mourning garment made of coarse linen.

He looked up suddenly and saw that Shen Zhuang was wearing a black gown with a striking white flower pinned on his left chest.

"..." Shen Hang suddenly sensed something and looked down at the glaring mourning clothes on his knees with a strange expression. "What does this mean? Who died? Shen Jun died? That old immortal died?"

"No... Impossible..." Suddenly, he began to mutter to himself again, glaring at Shen Zhuang fiercely, "I just bit him, how could he die?"

Shen Zhuang looked at him coldly without any explanation.

Shen Hang pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, tears in his eyes, and he looked crazy, "It's better to die, you deserve to die! Shen Zhuang, you are very proud now, my family works for you like dogs, aren't you very proud! Ahhh!"

Before he could finish, Shen Zhuang threw the letter in his hand at his face.

"Your father asked me to give it to you before he died. It's up to you whether you want to read it or not."

After saying that, Shen Zhuang turned around and left the warehouse.

The sunlight passed through the crack in the door, and the wind gently blew open a corner of the letter.

Shen Hang suddenly saw many familiar handwritings and his face turned suddenly stunned.

A few months ago, Shen Jun called several of his younger family members over and told them that Shen Hang had been deceived and was colluding with outsiders. He asked the children what they planned to do.

The children said: "Only by putting your heart into the game can you win half the battle against the gods."

Therefore, they are not abandoned. They know the abyss, but they face it with confidence because they believe that they have the power to change the world.
