Chapter 14 I Don't Want You to Find Me
"Is this the Innate Realm?"
With Chen Chuan's support, Shen Che's strength experienced a leap forward.
With twenty years of accumulated skill and the enhancement of his aptitude brought about by the "Bone Removal Technique," Chen Chuan's Yang-attribute physique has also perfectly integrated with himself.
If he ventures out into the world, he will be a top-tier genius.
Moreover, Chen Chuan's extraordinary comprehension was also perfectly accepted.
It felt like not only his physical condition and skill level had increased dramatically, but also his mental strength, intelligence, and so on had been greatly enhanced.
Those previously cumbersome manuals and complicated moves are now as simple as solving a first-grade math problem.
Many complicated and incomprehensible things became exceptionally clear in my mind at this moment.
This change makes it feel like it's grown a brain.
If I had to say I made a huge profit this time, I would feel like I had undergone a spiritual transformation.
In addition, Shen Che also had in his mind the martial arts that Chen Chuan had practiced diligently over the years, including swordsmanship, disguise techniques, bone shrinking skills, and so on.
Chen Chuan was exceptionally perceptive and extremely self-disciplined, practicing his skills day and night without needing to be whipped.
He is no less capable than Lu Sheng before.
It's a pity, this guy is just love-struck. Otherwise, imagine how much his martial arts skills would have been honed in another twenty or thirty years.
After familiarizing himself with his newfound power, Shen Che turned and walked towards his second uncle's second sister's house.
The flower-hunting bees will arrive tonight. If another young lady from my second uncle's family is also murdered, it will be a huge disgrace.
Watching Shen Tong, the head steward, set up the defenses, Shen Che did not interfere but watched quietly.
He lacks experience in this area and can't offer any useful advice. It's fine to just observe, but if he tries to do it himself, he'll only cause more trouble.
During this time, the guard whom he had sent out to protect the boy on his way home returned and reported some information to him.
It was that boy at the door who said his sister was missing. Shen Che sent guards to protect him on his way home and also had the guards investigate some things.
Of those who were originally sent home, not a single one managed to return safely.
Time passed slowly, but as Shen Che watched, he sensed that something was amiss.
This doesn't feel like protection; it feels more like an attack.
Why abandon the young lady from my second uncle's family to bring down the fragrant bee?
No, that's not Tong Shu's style.
"Go in and see how Second Sister is doing. You must see her in person, understand?"
Seeing Shen Tong still busy, Shen Che seemed to understand something.
He then called a female guard and asked her to check on his cousin's condition.
A short while later, the female guard came out, but she was clearly hesitant when facing him.
"Master, people, people..."
"She's gone, right?" Glancing inside, Shen Che said with certainty, "Or rather, the person inside isn't Second Sister at all, but just someone dressed up as her."
"Young Master, watch your words!" Seeing that Shen Che had noticed something, Shen Tong immediately gestured for him to be quiet.
But Shen Che didn't care at all, and shook his head, saying, "I could tell just now, Uncle Tong, that you want to protect Second Sister in this way, to prevent her from being harmed by the Scent-Seeking Bees again."
"Or perhaps they're using this place as a trap to catch flower-hunting bees, right?"
"Not bad!" Seeing that he had been found out, Shen Tong had no choice but to say, "Only Kong Yu and I knew about this. I didn't expect that Young Master could also guess it."
"Was that person taken away by Kong Yu?"
"Yes!" With a slight sigh, Shen Tong said, "Last time, I did my best to protect Miss Ru Shuang, but she still managed to find a loophole."
"So when Young Master Kongyu suggested that the Second Miss be disguised and secretly moved away, this old servant agreed."
"Kong Yu suggested it, so he's the one who took the person away?"
"Yes!" Shen Tong nodded and replied softly, "Young Master, the person has been taken away and hidden by Young Master Kong Yu."
"I don't even know where he is now, and I believe the Scent-Seeking Bees will never be able to find him."
"What? No, absolutely not!" Upon hearing this, Shen Cong, the second uncle standing nearby, immediately changed his expression.
"Manager Tong, how could you let Kong Yu take her away? Even you couldn't protect her, how could Kong Yu possibly do it?"
However, after saying that, Shen Cong immediately explained, "Manager Tong, I'm not saying you didn't protect Ru Shuang well. I absolutely believe in you."
"I'm just worried about Kongyu's abilities, and I'm worried about my poor daughter."
"The methods of the Scent-Seeking Bees are hard to guard against; they might just be able to see through this substitution scheme."
At this point, Shen Cong immediately suggested, "Without your personal presence, if she is found by the Scent-Seeking Bees, no one can stop her."
"So, it's best to bring him back so you can protect him yourself. Even if we can't save him in the end, I'll accept it!"
"Kongyu!" Turning to look at Shen Kongyu beside him, Shen Cong's face immediately fell, appearing much colder.
"Who gave you permission to act on your own? Go, go and bring your second sister back right now!"
"Hurry up, did you hear me?"
Seeing that Shen Kongyu had not moved, Shen Cong was also stunned for a moment, and then walked up to him.
"I told you to bring your second sister back, did you hear me?"
"I heard you!" Shen Kongyu looked up, but shook her head. "But I can't!"
"No? What do you mean? Do you want to kill your sister?"
Shen Cong grabbed Shen Kongyu's shoulder excitedly, his face full of impatience.
"You really think you can protect your sister? Who do you think you are, to stop the Scent Bees?"
"Where did you hide your sister? Bring her back to me right now, do you hear me?"
The only response to Shen Cong's silence was a profound silence, which caused Shen Cong's expression to noticeably harden.
"You unfilial son!" Seeing that Shen Kongyu remained unmoved, Shen Cong became extremely impatient and slapped him hard across the face.
The slap was hard and powerful, and Shen Kongyu's mouth was cut by the slap, with blood seeping out from the corner of her mouth.
At this moment, Shen Cong's irritable demeanor was completely different from his usual self.
"You unfilial son, you rebellious brat! Tell me, where did your sister tell you to hide her? Tell me!"
"Second Uncle, don't get agitated!"
"Am I excited? Am I excited?"
"Master, you know that the Scent-Seeking Bees have harmed one of my daughters. If my other daughter is also found by the Scent-Seeking Bees, she's doomed."
Turning his head to look in Shen Kongyu's direction, Shen Cong managed to calm himself down before slowly speaking.
"Kongyu, I know you care about your sister, but you need to understand that this is the safest place, do you understand?"
"Do you even know what's going on? Speak up!"
"You unfilial son!" Seeing that Shen Kongyu remained unmoved, Shen Cong raised his hand high and slapped him again.
Just as the slap was about to land on Shen Kongyu's face, Shen Che grabbed it.
"Second Uncle!"
"Master, let go! I need to teach this rebellious son a lesson; he'll harm his sister!"
"You unfilial son! Do you want your sister to be found by the Scent-Seeking Bees? Do you want to watch your second sister be murdered like your eldest sister?"
"Second Uncle!" Shen Che's voice rose considerably, causing Shen Cong to turn around and glance at him.
Just one glance, under that calm gaze, was like a bucket of water being poured over his head, making Shen Cong involuntarily shudder.
"Is it possible that Kong Yu didn't want Second Sister to be found by the Scent-Seeking Bees, but rather that he wanted you to find her instead?"
"Am I right, Kongyu?"
