Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

Baihezhou!

It's not a dot on a map.

That was the most secret mark of the Shen family, engraved in the bones of Shen Yujing's childhood.

It was a long-abandoned private ferry crossing in the suburbs of Beijing, with reeds growing everywhere and wild birds nesting there. It was so desolate that it was not even marked on the map.

But in the memories of the core members of the Shen family, it has another cold and bloody name - "The Anchoring Ground".

When he was seven years old, he was secretly taken there for the first time by his father Shen Wanshan.

It’s not about sightseeing, it’s about “observation”.

The reed marsh that day was as vast and lush as it is today.

My father was still very young at that time, and even he stood on the periphery of the crowd, far away from the core.

Shen Yujing was pulled by his father to stand behind the dense reeds, watching two people with sacks put over their heads and tied tightly, being sunk into the cold river by the Shen family like garbage.

Only a few turbid bubbles appeared on the surface of the water, and then there was no trace.

His father's cold hand pressed against his small shoulder, his voice low as the hiss of a venomous snake: "Yujing, look carefully. This is the fate of betraying the Shen family. Baihezhou is a place where secrets are silenced forever."

The silent death under the muddy river water became his nightmare for countless nights thereafter.

This name is the highest secret code used by the core circle of the Shen family to deal with "trouble".

Only those who have the blood of the Shen family and have participated in the core secrets know what the three words "Baihezhou" mean - it represents a thorough and physical elimination.

It is not for outsiders to hear, it is a signal for the Shen family to enforce the ultimate family law!

When Li Xiangnan uttered "Baihezhou", Shen Yujing understood instantly - the person who wanted to kill him was not an outsider, not a political enemy, not the "accomplices" he had confessed, but his own blood relative!

It’s his father Shen Wanshan!

Now that my father is dead, the only ones left are his closest relatives, or one of his brothers or uncles who has received my father's tacit approval.

why?

Because he confessed too much to the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Procuratorate!

The 60 million in bribes was like a key that opened the Pandora's box he had created.

He thought that if he confessed voluntarily and made meritorious contributions while serving his sentence, he would at most be sentenced to suspended death penalty or life imprisonment. Since the Shen family's foundation was still there, there would always be room for negotiation.

He underestimated the huge entity behind the 60 million!

It was not just his personal corruption, but also a key link in a huge interest network in Yanjing.

Every time he uttered a name, every time he explained the flow of funds, he was stabbing a hard blow to the vital point of that intricate network!

The Shen family can no longer afford such "confession"!

Shen Yujing's "confession" is dragging the entire Shen family into an abyss of no return, and making him the public enemy of all the forces implicated by him!

The Shen family's seemingly huge ship is already in danger in the face of the huge waves that are about to be set off.

For the survival of the family and to appease the anger of those angry giants, he, the "source of trouble", must disappear.

And the disappearance must be due to "accident" or "disease", and no trace of political murder can be left.

Therefore, they mobilized the most secretive and cleanest means within the family - "Baihezhou".

If Li Xiangnan had not intervened, his death would have been a perfect accident.

It was perfect, like a sudden death caused by being unable to bear the mental pressure.

The moment he understood all this, Shen Yujing felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped and crushed by an invisible hand.

It was more painful than zinc phosphide burning his lungs, and worse than the humiliation Li Xiangnan brought him when he saved his life!

That is the despair of being completely abandoned by your closest blood relatives and regarded as a "trouble" that must be eliminated!

He was like a wolf leader who was torn apart and expelled by his pack, facing the coldness of the whole world alone.

The immense sorrow and a deep-rooted exhaustion, like an icy tide, quickly overwhelmed the initial fear and shock.

The hatred for the mastermind and the desire to find out the truth that kept him alive seemed so ridiculous and powerless in the face of this fatal blow from within the family.

He can't beat him.

Whether it is the huge waves outside or the cold arrows inside.

So, he gave up.

The sins committed by God can be forgiven, but the sins committed by oneself cannot be lived.

The mistakes he made do not deserve the family's forgiveness.

He was at the end of his rope and could not compete with the entire Shen family.

When he understood everything and saw Li Xiangnan coming back, he was already sober.

Li Xiangnan frowned, his hand on his shoulder not loosening. "Shen Yujing, this is attempted murder! Someone attacked you in prison! Don't you want to know who it was? Don't you want to bring them to justice?"

"Bring...him...to...justice?"

The corners of Shen Yujing's mouth pulled into an arc that was uglier than crying and extremely ironic. She looked at Li Xiangnan with empty eyes, "...Hehe...Hehe...It's...useless..."

He gasped for breath, gathering his last bit of strength, his eyes revealing a calmness bordering on madness. "...I...confessed...to the Discipline Inspection Commission...60...million...I only...ask...for...a...swift...death!...That's...enough!...It's...all...over!"

He closed his eyes, as if he had used up all his strength, and his body completely collapsed, leaving only a weak breath.

It was a gesture of giving up resistance and waiting to be killed.

He accepted his fate.

He accepted both legal trials and "cleansing" within the family.

He just wanted this nightmare to end quickly.

Li Xiangnan slowly released his hand and stood up straight.

The ward was deathly silent, with only Shen Yujing's heavy and labored breathing as the sound.

In the dim light, Li Xiangnan's figure was like a silent mountain.

He looked at the man on the hospital bed who had completely lost his fighting spirit and was determined to die, his eyes deep and complex.

Shen Yujing's reaction revealed too much information.

His sudden outburst of fear from the depths of his soul, and his subsequent determination to give up the investigation and just want to die quickly, all point to a frightening conclusion - the person who hired the murderer, or the person who issued the "Baihezhou" order, has an extremely special identity, so special that Shen Yujing didn't even have the courage to track him down, and was even willing to be killed.

This is definitely not something that an ordinary enemy or political opponent can do.

"family……"

A cold voice sounded in Li Xiangnan's heart.

Only betrayal from those closest to you can bring such a devastating blow and complete despair.

Considering the huge amount of bribes Shen Yujing had previously confessed to, and the huge network of interests that might be involved behind it...

In order to protect themselves and to appease the angry forces, the Shen family chose to sacrifice Shen Yujing, the "culprit", and make him shut up forever. This makes perfect sense logically!

And the place name "Baihezhou", which is only understood by the core members of the Shen family, is the most conclusive evidence!

Li Xiangnan's eyes became extremely deep.

He understood Shen Yujing's despair and giving up.

The parties involved themselves are unwilling and afraid to pursue the matter further. What can he, a doctor and a consultant who was temporarily brought in to solve the case, do?

Forced investigation? Where's the evidence?

There is only a place name "Baihezhou" and a reaction of Shen Yujing's collapse?

This is not enough to point to any specific member of the Shen family, nor is it enough to shake the complex behemoth.

Shen Yujing chose to remain silent and chose to end it all with his "quick death".

This may be the last thing he can do for the Shen family, and it is also his last, sad control over his own destiny.
