CHAPTER 761: CHAPTER 513 ARE YOU PRETENDING TO BE STUPID?

Shen Mingsong stared at the suddenly appearing Su Xiaofeng as if he had seen a ghost, utterly astonished.

He knew that cliff all too well, extremely steep, and the cloth tied around her broke before it was even half done; it was impossible for her to fall without a scratch, even from that angle.

Xiaofeng looked at Shen Mingsong with a face full of unfathomable depth, "I didn’t fall; I climbed back up. Otherwise, how could I possibly have gotten hold of your documents? Don’t you think?"

Shen Mingsong observed Xiaofeng’s complexion, realizing the brilliance in her eyes was entirely different from before.

This Su Xiaofeng now, this must be her true self.

The foolish woman from before was merely a facade, all to deceive him.

"Su Xiaofeng, you really did well," Shen Mingsong said through gritted teeth; "You really know how to act, fooling me into thinking you were a fool, thus lowering my guard against you."

Xiaofeng laughed softly.

When Gu Yecheng saw Xiaofeng appear, and the moment he saw the smile on her face, his heart felt as if it were filled to the brim.

It was his wife; she had returned.

He walked over to her gently, took her hand naturally, showing his authority.

The two exchanged a knowing smile, with everything unsaid understood between them.

Shen Mingsong truly regretted not having people continue searching for Su Xiaofeng’s whereabouts; had someone continued the search, he might not have lost so quickly.

"Shen Mingsong, your Shen Family colluded with foreign forces, plotting to frame my grandfather, and then your Shen Family took this opportunity to replace our Gu Family. You must have heard the saying, ’a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse.’ Our Gu Family’s power is not something your Shen Family can match. Even if your Shen Family develops for another ten years, it might not be able to contend with the Gu Family. I’m sorry to say, your Shen Family has been used as a pawn," Yecheng said.

The Shen Family simply wanted to go further, which is why they collaborated with them.

It could only be said that the Shen Family was too impatient.

Sometimes it’s just like that, impatience can backfire,

"This whole situation, it seemed flawless at first. As long as Elder Gu confessed and committed suicide out of fear of punishment, our Gu Family would have surely been greatly weakened, and it wasn’t impossible for the Shen Family to rise to power. The fault lies in my underestimation; I didn’t anticipate that the Gu Family’s Young Madam, whom I saw as insignificant, turned out to be the most formidable character. I underestimated you, so now the Shen Family has capsized. I also understand now what Elder Gu meant when he said, ’What you see with your eyes may not be the truth.’"

Shen Mingsong was filled with regret now, regretting that he didn’t send Su Xiaofeng back to the Gu Family directly, and that he didn’t verify whether she was still alive after she fell off the cliff.

What he regretted even more was bringing Su Xiaofeng back to the Shen Family villa.

"Losing to my wife, you could say it’s not a loss," Gu Yecheng looked at him, "Let’s leave."

Shen Mingsong had a bitter smile, "Victors be kings, losers be rogues; I have nothing left to say."

Shen Mingsong and Shen Quanwu were both taken away.

They were the pillars of the Shen Family, and with them gone, the Shen Family could be considered to have fallen.

Gu Yecheng held Xiaofeng’s hand tightly, pulling her into the car.

"Wife, is it really you?" Yecheng couldn’t remember the feeling when he read the note left by his wife, but now he was really overjoyed.

His whole heart was filled to the brim.

"Of course, it’s me," Xiaofeng snuggled into his embrace, smelling the special scent that belonged to him, "When I fell off the cliff, everything came back to me. In fact, I should thank Shen Mingsong—if it weren’t for him taking me to his villa, I wouldn’t have thought of escaping, and without escaping, there wouldn’t have been falling off the cliff."

The original host must have been very scared, willingly leaving in the blink of an eye, and telling her to carry on well with Acheng.

Thus, the original host should have gone to another world and would not think of coming back.

Because the original host’s wish had been fulfilled.

"It was still too dangerous," Gu Yecheng couldn’t imagine that scene, "Are you sure you’re alright?"

"I did faint at the time but was rescued by an old man. This fortunate infiltration into the Shen Family was also thanks to this elder, who told me about a secret passage. This passage is probably unknown to the Shen Family themselves; otherwise, they wouldn’t have allowed me to enter so easily," implying that the Shen Family people were unaware that there was a tunnel leading directly from the mountain top to the bottom.

"The Shen Family villa wasn’t theirs initially, they bought it from someone else, so it’s understandable that they were unclear about the secrets within."
