"How will you help me?"
Lin Qiutong, in a fit of rage, grabbed Shen Qiwen's collar, her eyes red enough to devour people. "Ah Yan remembers everything. He knows he loves Song Qinian, and he's gone after Song Qinian!"
Shen Qiwen suddenly grabbed Lin Qiutong's arm, a rare look of panic on his face. "What are you saying? Shen Chiyan regained his memory?"
Lin Qiutong cried out in pain from Shen Qiwen's grip. She angrily hit Shen Qiwen a few times. "You jerk, what are you doing? You're hurting me!"
Shen Qiwen only then reacted and immediately released Lin Qiutong. "Tongtong, is what you're saying true? How do you know..."
Lin Qiutong cut him off excitedly. She was already in enough pain, and Shen Qiwen still didn't believe her!
"Do you think I have any reason to lie to you?"
As she spoke, she seemed to lose all her strength and collapsed onto the sofa. "I schemed for so many years, and even sacrificed my most precious three years. In the end, as soon as he regained his memory, I lost everything! I'm not reconciled! God, what should I do?"
From the moment she woke up from her coma, Lin Qiutong had thought that as long as Shen Chiyan never regained his memory, she would be his one and only true love in his heart.
No matter how much Song Qinian struggled, she couldn't snatch Shen Chiyan away. Besides, she had Lin Feichi as a shield.
But if Shen Chiyan regained his memory and confirmed that he loved Song Qinian, then based on Lin Qiutong's understanding of Shen Chiyan, even if she brought up Lin Feichi, Shen Chiyan would not give up Song Qinian to be with her.
"It's over, everything is over!"
She sadly picked up her wine glass and took another sip. Shen Qiwen didn't try to persuade her anymore, but his expression was grim, and he seemed lost in thought.
Suddenly, Lin Qiutong seemed to recall something and grabbed Shen Qiwen's arm again. "Ah Wen, there's still a way, right? As long as Song Qinian dies..."
At this thought, a ferocious smile appeared on Lin Qiutong's face. "Yes, as long as Song Qinian dies, Ah Yan will be mine alone!"
Shen Qiwen looked at Lin Qiutong, who seemed to have fallen into a trance, his expression growing more complex and grim.
When they first met, she was so beautiful and gentle. But for Shen Chiyan, she had become this way.
He, a stranger, could barely recognize her!
"Ah Wen, didn't you just say you wanted to help me? Then help me kill Song Qinian, okay? I don't want to see her anymore. Ah Yan finally divorced her, and I was about to be with Ah Yan. I can't let her snatch away what belongs to me again!"
Shen Qiwen was also quite annoyed. Shen Chiyan had regained his memory. He wondered if he had seen anything during the car accident three years ago?
If he had, given Shen Chiyan's temper and personality, he would definitely not let him off!
Hearing Lin Qiutong ask him to kill someone, Shen Qiwen's anger flared. "Shen Chiyan, Shen Chiyan, your heart is only for Shen Chiyan. You know clearly that he doesn't love you, so why are you still so stubborn! If it wasn't for you insisting on having him, I..."
Before Shen Qiwen could finish speaking, Lin Qiutong slapped him hard across the face.
"You're talking nonsense! Ah Yan loves me! We grew up together, and he was so good to me. If it weren't for that vixen Song Qinian seducing him, how could he have fallen for someone else! What right do you have to scold me!"
Shen Qiwen clenched his fists, his gaze lowered, his bangs obscuring his eyes, making his surging emotions unreadable.
After slapping Shen Qiwen, Lin Qiutong regretted it and hugged him. "Ah Wen, only you can help me now. I don't know what to do. But I know that if I can't have Ah Yan, I'd rather die!"
Shen Qiwen couldn't bring himself to be cruel to Lin Qiutong. He completely understood Lin Qiutong's obsessive love for Shen Chiyan, just as he felt for Lin Qiutong.
He could no longer have Lin Qiutong, and he only hoped that the girl he liked could be happy.
Seeing Lin Qiutong crying sadly, Shen Qiwen reached out and patted her back. "Alright, alright, don't cry."
Lin Qiutong sniffled and peeked out from Shen Qiwen's embrace to look at him. "You'll help me, won't you?"
Shen Qiwen remained silent, and Lin Qiutong continued to press him. "Will you? Will you? Will you?"
Shen Qiwen sighed heavily and then nodded. "Yes, I said I would help you with whatever you wanted to do."
Lin Qiutong burst into tears. "I knew it, you're the only one in this world who's good to me, Ah Wen, thank you."
Shen Qiwen felt a bitter ache in his heart. More than "thank you," he longed for Lin Qiutong's love.
Unfortunately, Lin Qiutong gave all her love to Shen Chiyan.
That night, Lin Qiutong drank herself into unconsciousness. Shen Qiwen took her to a hotel. As soon as he laid her on the bed, his phone rang.
It was Shen Zhengming calling, telling him to come home immediately.
Shen Qiwen had no choice but to leave Lin Qiutong and return home.
Shen Zhengming's expression was grim. As soon as he saw Shen Qiwen, he said angrily, "What about the investigation I asked you to do? Why did Li Junshen suddenly go back on his word and withdraw his investment from the new railway project?"
Shen Qiwen shook his head. "I can't contact Li Junshen, let alone see him."
Shen Zhengming was both angry and anxious. "We were having a good conversation before. How could Li Junshen suddenly change his mind? Did you do something to offend him?"
Shen Qiwen thought carefully. "No, he's our cash cow. How could I offend him? But Li Junshen is cunning and has just arrived in Jinghua City. We don't know his background at all. This time, we were indeed careless!"
Shen Zhengming: "What's the use of saying this now? Hurry up and find a way to locate Li Junshen, ask him why he's going back on his word, and see if we can salvage the situation."
Shen Qiwen frowned. "What if Li Junshen still refuses to show up, or even if he appears, he still won't invest in us?"
The new railway project had already started. If it were to be halted due to funding at this stage, the consequences would be unbearable for Shen Zhengming and his son.
The shareholders might tear them apart, and Shen Chiyan might even dismiss their positions in Dingsheng Group.
At this thought, a cold sweat broke out on Shen Zhengming's back.
"Then what do you suggest?"
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Shen Qiwen's eyes. "Dad, Shen Chiyan is in charge of Dingsheng Group now. He survived this time, but if something else were to happen to him and he died, then Dingsheng Group would be ours. By then, even if Li Junshen doesn't invest, we can transfer funds from other projects in Dingsheng Group to the new railway project. Once the railway is built, those shareholders will have nothing to say."
Shen Qiwen's words made Shen Zhengming's heart skip a beat, but he had been suppressed by Shen Chiyan for so many years that he was in too much pain. He decided to go all the way.
"What are you planning to do?"
"As far as I know, Shen Chiyan is now going to Song Qinian's hometown to find her. I want to make sure he never returns to Jinghua City!"
