Chapter 34: Wei Yun’s Eyes Tremble—My Linlin!:
At this moment, Jiang Linlin was overwhelmed with excitement and joy.
Granny Zhong, who had raised her and depended on her all these years, was now in her eighties and had been bedridden and unable to care for herself.
Seeing her in pain had always made Jiang Linlin feel helpless and heartbroken.
Now, seeing Granny Zhong walking again with a rosy complexion and a glow as if she had aged backward by over a decade, her heart was filled with immense gratitude.
Shen Anyu was also quite pleased. Compared to Xia Liu, Wei Yun’s “leek” was even easier to harvest.
What a haul—eighty thousand Destiny Points at once.
And this was just from Jiang Linlin’s gratitude after he saved Granny Zhong.
If he truly made Jiang Linlin fall for him completely… just how many Destiny Points would that be?
Pure love really is the best—Shen Anyu adored pure love.
His thoughts were filled with amusement, but on the surface, his expression was righteous and warm as he smiled sincerely at Jiang Linlin.
“Linlin, you’re being too polite. Since I’ve studied medicine, healing and helping people is part of my duty. It’s a doctor’s virtue—there’s no need to thank me like this.”
At that moment, Shen Anyu seemed to radiate light, shining with noble righteousness.
[Ding! Detected Favorability +6 from Destiny’s Female Lead Jiang Linlin. Gained +Destiny Points!]
Jiang Linlin’s fondness for him grew even more. She didn’t even mind that Shen Anyu was calling her “Linlin” so affectionately.
After chatting with Jiang Linlin and Granny Zhong for a while, Shen Anyu became even more familiar with them.
Eventually, she stopped calling him “Dr. Shen” and began calling him “Brother Shen.” Although she felt the title was a little too intimate, since he was the one who saved Granny Zhong, she didn’t want to reject him.
As someone who repaid kindness with sincerity, Jiang Linlin now only felt deep gratitude toward Shen Anyu. Any sense of wariness had completely vanished.
Later, Granny Zhong, still recovering from her illness, grew tired and went to rest.
But Jiang Linlin’s delicate, pure face showed a trace of worry. She took a quiet breath and asked Shen Anyu softly, “Brother Shen, how much do I owe you for the medical treatment?”
She had seen the prescription. There were many precious herbs—century-old lingzhi, sixty-year-old ginseng—just hearing the names, she knew they were expensive. The cost might easily exceed hundreds of thousands.
There was no way she could afford it. Would she need to take out a loan? Or borrow money from Mi-mi?
If Shen Anyu knew what she was thinking, he’d probably scoff. A few hundred thousand? The ingredients alone were worth over a million!
And that wasn’t even including the value of his own skills.
With his extraordinary medical abilities, a consultation fee of one hundred million wouldn’t be excessive.
But, being the “Supreme Nice Guy of Destiny,” Shen Anyu wouldn’t take a single cent from Jiang Linlin. In fact, he’d be willing to give her a few billion.
That would be later, though—he wouldn’t mention that now.
Staring directly at her, Shen Anyu made Jiang Linlin blush before he finally sighed.
“Brother Shen… what’s wrong?”
Jiang Linlin tilted her head curiously. At first, she’d felt shy under his gaze, but now, hearing his sigh, she was puzzled.
Shen Anyu looked deeply into her eyes and asked, “Do you know why I came here today?”
Jiang Linlin looked even more curious. Her bright, clear eyes met his as she shook her head.
Shen Anyu’s next words made Jiang Linlin almost jump out of her seat.
“It’s related to your parents’ murder.”
“What? Brother Shen, are you… are you serious?!”
Her voice instinctively rose, but thinking of the resting Granny Zhong, she lowered it quickly. Her eyes, as clear as a lake, were filled with tension as she clutched Shen Anyu’s arm.
“Yes, I am.”
Shen Anyu nodded solemnly and continued, “You’re still a university student, living in the pure and peaceful world of the ivory tower. But do you know there’s another world out there—a dark world filled with killing, destruction, filth, blood, cruelty, betrayal… a place that reveals the ugliest sides of humanity? It’s full of vicious criminals, assassins, and mercenaries.”
“And your parents’ deaths… are connected to that dark world.”
Jiang Linlin was shocked and heartbroken as she asked, “Brother Shen, my parents were just ordinary workers. How could they possibly be involved in something like that?”
A sly smile flickered at the corner of Shen Anyu’s lips—this little white flower had taken the bait.
“It’s because of a person.”
“The orphan your parents once adopted from a neighbor… Wei Yun.”
Wei Yun?
Jiang Linlin frowned, trying to recall the past. She had returned to her hometown before and asked the neighbors. She had learned that her birth parents once adopted a neighbor’s orphan boy named Wei Yun and raised him until he was eight years old.
But during that bloody night, Wei Yun had vanished. Everyone believed he had died alongside her parents at the hands of the killer.
“Wei Yun didn’t die.”
Shen Anyu said firmly, then added, “Have you heard of ‘cutting ties to the mundane’?”
“Wei Yun was extremely talented in martial arts, ambitious, and willing to do anything to be chosen by the ruthless leader of a killer organization called Asura. To rise in the dark world, to become a major player, he did not hesitate.”
“These dark organizations are merciless and brutal. The first step to join is to offer a blood pledge—or as they call it, severing worldly ties.”
“And your parents were Wei Yun’s ‘worldly ties.’”
“They died because of that.”
Shen Anyu laid it all out—leaving no chance for Wei Yun to defend himself.
And that wasn’t all.
As Jiang Linlin stared at him in shock, pain, and disbelief, Shen Anyu pulled out his phone and showed her a series of photos and documents.
“After cutting ties, Wei Yun was accepted as the personal disciple of Asura’s leader. He was groomed with full resources.”
“In the past twenty years, Wei Yun committed countless crimes for the Asura organization. In the dark world, he is known as the Grim Reaper. His hands are stained with the blood of 1,377 innocent souls!”
“Bathed in blood, guilty beyond redemption!”
“He is now the second-in-command of the Asura organization, only below the leader himself.”
“These 1,377 lives… were the stepping stones beneath his feet.”
“These pieces of evidence were only discovered after my family destroyed the Asura organization and ended its evil legacy.”
Among the images was Wei Yun’s true face—a clean, handsome young man, far from the average-looking disguise he now wore with a human-skin mask.
After all, Wei Yun was the top-tier assassin of the dark world, wanted in multiple countries. Without disguise or false identities, how could he survive?
Especially in Yanxia, where assassins and mercenaries were strictly forbidden.
And at that very moment, Wei Yun—wearing his plain, everyday disguise—had just learned that Jiang Linlin had taken leave. Worried sick, he was rushing anxiously toward Granny Zhong’s home…
