Chapter 393: Refuse to Admit to Death? Shen Mange Plays Her Trump Card!
On the screen, besides Shen Nanfei, there were also high-ranking members of the Gu Sect, the Han Family from Guangcheng, several members from the Cao Family, a few top figures of Vermilion Bird...
All their appearances were clear to see, and it would be quite troublesome for them to deny anything!
Damn it!
Didn't we agree during the operation that no filming was allowed? How did footage still end up being taken?
Damn it all!
Who the hell filmed this?
Shen Nanfei scrutinized the playing video, searching carefully, and suddenly noticed that one person was missing from the crowd—the Five Poisons Child from the Gu Sect!
Yes!
That's the bastard!
During the operation, the Five Poisons Child always seemed to be dodging; it turns out he was up to these tricks!
Some time ago, we received reports from the Gu Sect that the Five Poisons Child had gone missing.
And now, it seems likely that the Five Poisons Child must have fallen into Ye Fan's hands, and spilled all the secrets he knew, otherwise Ye Fan would not have possessed this video evidence.
"Shen Nanfei, with such evidence right here, what else do you have to say?" Ye Fan's face was a mask of gloom!
Just before he died, Third Brother Ye probably never imagined he would die by the hands of his own people, stabbed with the first knife by his future father-in-law himself.
Silence!
The scene was deadly quiet, not just Shen Nanfei, even the legitimate line bodyguards of the Shen Family were stunned at this moment.
They had never expected that the Shen Family was truly involved in the assassination operation against Third Young Master Ye, and that the family head himself took part!
Shen Nanpeng, the third uncle, yelled angrily, "Well done, big brother, so it was you... You're truly ruthless, even murdering your prospective son-in-law, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Shen Mange had just seen her father take action to kill Ye Lingyu, and seeing Ye Fan confront her father, her biggest worry was her father's safety, but connecting all the events together, Shen Mange suddenly realized some things.
The father in front of her, although identical to her own father, was completely different in his demeanor and actions from before.
However, how can she test whether her father is real or fake? Shen Mange frowned in thought, suddenly recalling some incidents from her childhood, secrets that only she and her father knew.
Shen Nanfei, facing the current situation with all evidence laid bare, knew that if he could not clear things up, all his actions would be at a disadvantage.
"Cough cough! Young Master Ye, please calm down. There must be some misunderstanding... right, Ye Lingyu is my future son-in-law, I have no reason to kill him, right? What good does it do me to kill him?" Shen Nanfei forced a smile awkwardly, continuing to explain, "It must be someone framing me, deliberately photoshopping, creating fake videos to smear my name..."
"Right! It has to be that; Young Master Ye knows how advanced face-changing techniques are these days, it must be someone trying to frame me! Young Master Ye mustn't do something that hurts your own while making an enemy happy!" Shen Nanfei seemed to have found a reason to explain, gradually growing bolder.
But how could Ye Fan possibly be so easily deceived?
"Really? Shen Nanfei, let's call you that for now. You're right, face-changing techniques are highly developed, but I'm afraid it's not someone else impersonating you, but you impersonating someone else!" Ye Fan approached Shen Nanfei with a cold advance.
No matter how skilled Shen Nanfei was with his face-changing technique, as long as Ye Fan had the opportunity to get close to him, he still had a way to differentiate.
The Aura of Death, if brushed across Shen Nanfei's cheek, would instantly dissolve the outer layer of skin if it had been altered by the face-changing technique.
With a guilty conscience, Shen Nanfei naturally wouldn't allow Ye Fan to get close, watching him warily, he said, "What… what do you want to do? It's just a video, do you really want to take my life? Hmph! Don't forget, if you truly killed me, how would you and Shen Mange get along?"
Just now, Shen Nanfei stubbornly denied the relationship between Ye Fan and Shen Mange, but at this moment, when his own life was at stake, he brought up Shen Mange.
"Dad! Just now you wouldn't acknowledge my relationship with Ye Fan, so why bring it up now?" Shen Mange said indifferently, "Dad, when I was eight, you promised me… what kind of husband you would find me when I grew up, have you forgotten?"
Shen Mange was intelligent and astute, subtly bringing up little secrets agreed upon with her father when she was younger.
A flicker of astuteness crossed Shen Nanfei's eyes, and he frowned, a foreboding feeling emerging in his heart.
Why was this Shen Mange suddenly bringing up her childhood?
"I remember, of course I remember! Hasn't your father made concessions now? I'm not opposing the engagement with Young Master Ye anymore, and the assassination attempt on the Third Young Master Ye was a misunderstanding; it was mainly orchestrated by families like the Han Family and the Cao Family. Mange, please persuade Ye Fan..."
Shen Nanfei wanted to deflect Shen Mange's questioning, but she had already begun to doubt, and naturally wouldn't let it go.
"Dad! Then you tell me, when we made that promise, what were the six criteria for my husband you were to adhere to?" Shen Mange stared intensely at Shen Nanfei, "At that time, you said it was our little secret, something to remember for a lifetime!"
Ye Fan stopped in his tracks and looked tenderly at Shen Mange. Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire
Ye Fan also understood the meaning behind Shen Mange's words.
Whether the Shen Nanfei before them was real or fake, or had gone mad, or was under the control of the Gu Sect, bringing up childhood memories would be the best way to distinguish.
"Ah! Mange... why are you suddenly talking about these things? So many years have passed, how could I remember clearly? Let's go, since you're back, why don't we put down our weapons and sit down to talk?" Shen Nanfei glanced toward the main house.
Just now he had sent people to call the elder ancestor, and logically, the ancestor should have shown up by now, right?
The current situation had already stripped him of the upper hand!
Failing to kill Shen Nanpeng meant there was no way to shift the blame; furthermore, now that Ye Fan had produced video evidence, forcefully explaining himself would likely fail.
The only option now was to lure Ye Fan into the Shen Family Courtyard and eliminate him there.
Only, Shen Nanfei was vastly overestimating the elder ancestor's abilities!
"No! We must talk about it today... Since you can't clearly remember about when I was eight, what about when I was twelve and had a fever? You carried me on your back to find a doctor; you must remember that time, right? That time, you ran so fast that you broke three toes on your left foot; you must have some impression of that incident?"
Shen Mange remembered talking about some secrets from her childhood, but Shen Nanfei was panicking at every word!
Damn it, was he exposing himself?
This bitch, always talking about childhood memories, how would he know a damn thing?
"I know, I know! My toes, they still hurt when the weather changes!" Shen Nanfei replied nervously, feeling somewhat hollow inside.
But Shen Mange suddenly changed her expression dramatically, "No! You're not my father! When I had a fever at twelve, you didn't hurt your toes at all! And our promise at eight was not about a husband..."
"Who exactly are you?"
Shen Mange's words exploded like a bomb at the scene, and the Shen Family's bodyguards and Third Uncle Shen Nanpeng were all in shock, looking towards Shen Nanfei with disbelief…
