Chapter 498: Past Events Abroad (4)
Shen Xiuyun finally went to the Shen family's old house.
Yun Yi accompanied him.
On the way, Shen Xiuyun sat there in a daze like a soulless puppet.
The street scene outside the car window quickly receded and blurred into a flowing gray.
The old butler's words replayed in his mind over and over again.
The tragic suffering of his father and the illegitimate son was carefully created by him using the virus.
Something that he had tried countless times and given up countless times was accomplished by Yun Yi just like that, unconsciously and easily.
Shen Xiuyun felt a little bit at a loss, and also a little bit like he was dreaming.
He didn't know what he should say or do after seeing his father and the illegitimate child again.
At this time, the car had already entered the heavily guarded Shen family mansion.
The smell of disinfectant in the air was strong and pungent, mixed with a faint, unsettling sweet fishy smell.
As soon as the car door opened, the old butler came to greet him.
He looked anxious, and his wrinkles seemed to deepen.
When the old butler saw Shen Xiuyun, he felt like he had seen a savior.
He bent over and said with a bitter face: "Master, you are here. The old master and the second master are in a serious condition. The doctor can only diagnose that they have a contagious virus, and nothing else can be found. Master, now in the Shen family, only you can take charge of the situation!"
"By the way, for your safety and health, you have to wear isolation clothing. Now all doctors, nurses, and servants of the Shen family who have had contact with the master and the second young master are under quarantine."
Shen Xiuyun looked at the earnest old housekeeper and asked calmly, "Did that woman come into contact with the father and son?"
The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Shen Xiuyun was asking about the second mistress of the Shen family, the eldest young master's stepmother.
Speaking of this woman who destroyed families and used any means to get to the top, the old housekeeper also felt disgusted.
But his years of professionalism have prevented him from showing too much emotion.
He replied respectfully: "When the master and the second young master's condition was not serious, the lady didn't know yet, so she came into contact with them. Now they are under quarantine and observation. I heard that they have a low fever."
Shen Xiuyun lowered his eyes and said softly, "She will soon be infected with the virus, so you should prepare early. As for the others, you can take off your isolation suits and do your own things. You will not be infected with the virus from these three people."
"This……"
The old butler opened his mouth, as if he didn't understand what Shen Xiuyun was saying.
Yun Yi coughed lightly and reminded, "Don't forget, your eldest master is a professional researcher at the School of Pharmacy. He knows much more than you and some ordinary medical staff."
The old butler suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will tell the medical staff what the young master meant and ask them to retreat quickly, but..."
He paused, and looked at Shen Xiuyun cautiously: "Then, Young Master, do you want to go see the old master and the second young master?"
“You have to watch it.”
Shen Xiuyun's voice was calm but meaningful, "After all, this should be the last time we see each other."
Hearing this, the old butler still found it hard to accept.
Two people who were full of energy last night were on the verge of death early this morning?
The key is that the young master is too calm.
So calm that he seemed to know something.
However, the butler immediately withdrew his gaze and lowered his head obediently.
Even if the young master knows something, it doesn’t matter.
It doesn't matter what he did.
Because, the Shen family should have belonged to the eldest young master.
the other side.
The door to the living room was pushed open.
The interior was in a state of disrecognition, with the expensive furniture roughly pushed into a corner.
The vacated space was filled with cold medical equipment.
The heart rate monitor made a monotonous and rapid "beeping" sound, like a death spell.
Shen Xiuyun and Yun Yi, dressed in thin single clothes, formed a sharp contrast with the people inside who were wearing full protective suits.
They walked in a hurry and the atmosphere was so heavy that water could be squeezed out of it.
Shen Xiuyun's gaze passed over these people and accurately directed towards the two beds temporarily set up in the middle of the living room.
On the bed on the left lay Shen Xiuyun's father.
The man who was once a big shot in the business world and always held his chin high at home, looking at him and his mother with contempt, was now curled up on the white sheets like a mollusk with its bones and muscles pulled out.
His face was a strange purple color, his lips were cracked and black, and saliva mixed with white foam flowed out uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth, soaking a large area of his clothes.
And those cloudy eyes, wide open, with bulging eyeballs and bloodshot, were filled with unspeakable pain and fear that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
On the bed on the right is the illegitimate child between my father and that woman.
His much younger body was also shaking uncontrollably.
The amplitude is even larger, like a dying fish thrown ashore.
On the arms and calves exposed outside the quilt, one can already see faint black veins spreading like spider webs beneath the skin, as if some living thing is wriggling under the skin.
It looked shocking.
Especially the face that used to be so arrogant and had a contemptuous smile on it, now, only twisted pain and the grayness of death remained.
The sweet fishy smell in the air seemed to be stronger.
Mixed with the stench of vomit and the smell of disinfectant, it formed a hellish atmosphere.
Shen Xiuyun stood in front of the bed, staring quietly at the two dying people.
At first, he worked very hard to study and build his career.
He wanted to use his own real achievements to defeat the illegitimate son and prove it to his father.
But in the end, it was a complete failure.
The illegitimate child used dirty tricks, slandered and threw dirty water.
The father disregarded family affection, protected his illegitimate son, and suppressed him to the utmost.
They were like two huge mountains, pressing down on Shen Xiuyun so hard that he couldn't straighten his back or breathe.
They made Shen Xiuyun doubt himself and give up on himself.
Finally, his faith was shattered and he wandered the streets.
But now?
They lay there, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Everything they held tightly in their hands was even more within Shen Xiuyun's reach.
It turns out that the mountains that we once thought were insurmountable and the difficulties that we once thought were insurmountable can be solved so easily.
At this time, a figure approached.
Yun Yi stood beside Shen Xiuyun.
He looked calm, as if he was not affected by the dirty and messy environment.
"Isn't it refreshing?"
The man lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Shen, please remember that magnanimity is a fig leaf for the weak and a lie that deceives oneself and others. Anything can only be completely resolved by an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."
His lips were almost touching Shen Xiuyun's earlobe. The last few words were coldly imprinted with an unquestionable commanding tone: "In the future, we have to do this too. Remember?"
