CHAPTER 580: GAME 226 HAS STARTED.

The infusion contained sedatives, and the young man fell into a deep sleep.

Even in his dreams, his brows never relaxed.

The ward was quiet, outside the floor-to-ceiling window was a dark, cold night, with no stars or moon, and the sky was gloomy, as if brewing the next snowstorm.

The infusion bag was nearly empty.

Shen You’an pulled the bell at the head of the bed.

Leaning over to tuck the boy in, she got up and quietly left the room.

A nurse with a sweet appearance approached carrying a medical tray. As they passed, the nurse couldn’t help staring at the girl’s face, taking a moment to recover.

"Miss Shen." Secretary Su bowed, "Sir wants to see you, please come with me."

Secretary Su pushed open the door of the adjacent ward and closed it carefully after Shen You’an entered.

A tall back stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Shedding his usual dominance, he appeared a bit desolate and tired under the lamp’s light.

The man turned around and pointed to the sofa beside him, "Please sit."

"Mr. Liu, feel free to speak your mind."

Liu Qingfeng gazed at the girl in front of him, sighing deeply inside.

"My wife’s ignorance almost led to a major mistake. As her husband, it was also my fault for not fulfilling my duty as her guardian."

Shen You’an raised her eyebrows, undisguised sarcasm at her lips, "Guardian duty? Mr. Liu means your wife is... incapacitated?"

Shen You’an considered her words, "Disabled? Mentally ill?"

As expected of Mr. Liu, he quickly found an excuse.

Liu Qingfeng knew the girl before him was clever but was still startled by her incisiveness, effortlessly gleaning his deepest thoughts through a few words.

It was terrifying.

Liu Qingfeng steadied himself, "To be honest, during Xixi’s birth, she had an accident that drastically changed her personality. It was due to me, and I’ve carried guilt over it for years, tolerating much out of guilt. But I recently realized my tolerance became indulgence, not helping her but harming her."

The man, usually so high and mighty, seemed so helpless at this moment, with an indescribable tenderness about him.

His eyes quickly turned resolute, "I assure you, from now on, she will not trouble you again. I only hope her actions don’t affect your relationship with Xixi. That child has suffered a lot since young, and having a true friend isn’t easy. Shen, I hope you can give Xixi another chance."

Shen You’an lowered her gaze, "I never blamed him."

Liu Qingfeng sighed in relief.

"But Mr. Liu, your wife’s absurdity, I hope is the last time. Otherwise, I’ll seek justice in my own way."

A teenage girl telling a high-ranking man she’ll seek justice in her own way would be seen as arrogant.

But this was Shen You’an.

Liu Qingfeng discovered as much as Helian Yu, maybe even more.

That she would speak this way was unsurprising.

In this world, some geniuses quickly master most of the world’s truths and arms. Money doesn’t tempt them, and power means nothing. Their existence surpasses class, becoming the pinnacle of humanity. With desires, they can easily obtain anything.

Truth unveils the world, invincibility within grasp.

Shen You’an was such a person.

Despite Helian Yu’s repeated provocations, she remained unscathed. It’s not kindness, it’s for Xixi.

Unfortunately, Helian Yu couldn’t understand, blinded by her own mind.

"There won’t be a next time." It was a promise.

"I trust in Mr. Liu’s integrity."

As Shen You’an was about to leave, Liu Qingfeng suddenly called her.

"Wait."

Shen You’an raised her eyebrows and turned around.

Liu Qingfeng looked at her with a complicated gaze, pondering for a while before speaking slowly, "What is your connection with the Yu family?"

How could an ordinary person from Qingzhou have any connection with the illustrious figures of Jingzhou?

It was a baffling and absurd question.

Shen You’an suddenly laughed, "Mr. Liu, don’t you already know the answer?"

Liu Qingfeng’s pupils constricted rapidly, he was internally suspicious, but did not expect her to admit it so calmly.

"You..."

"The Yu family is intent on putting me to death, to them, squashing me is as easy as squashing an ant. With such a situation, do you still feel at ease letting your only son associate with me? The ever-self-preserving Mr. Liu, surely you know the consequences of allowing this."
