Father is a villainous Buddhist disciple? He'll just be beaten into the light of the righteous

When Shen Jiyuan came downstairs, Zhao Tong and Chen Dong were eating meat buns at the dining table.

He asked Uncle Zhong to brew a pot of tea. After Zhao Tong and the other man finished their meal, he pushed the teacup in front of them and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to ask? Begin."

Zhao Tong gestured with his chin to Chen Dong, indicating that he should take notes, and then asked bluntly, "Old Shen, what's your relationship with Su Qian?"

Shen Jiyuan frowned, seemingly reluctant to speak.

He remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke under the other person's serious gaze, "Four years ago, I was drugged at a party and had a relationship with Su Qian...

Zhao Tong's eyes widened suddenly, staring at him in disbelief. "Holy crap?"

Shen Jiyuan's face darkened.

Zhao Tong quickly straightened his expression and asked, "Um... have you kept in touch since then?"

Shen Jiyuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Are you here to investigate a case or to gossip?"

Zhao Tong said righteously, "Of course it's about investigating a case. Just answer truthfully."

Shen Jiyuan said irritably, "I left a card after I woke up the next day and left, and I haven't seen me since!"

"Never seen it before?"

Shen Jiyuan raised an eyebrow. "Is there a problem?"

Zhao Tong shook his head. "Then, is Shen Ji your child with Su Qian?"

Shen Jiyuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes."

"How did you recognize each other?"

Shen Jiyuan was taken aback. He pursed his lips. "He came to us himself..."

"You came to me on your own?" Zhao Tong looked at him as if he were scum.

Shen Jiyuan's face darkened again.

He picked up the teacup on the table, took a breath, and said, "I recently received an anonymous message saying that she is the woman I had a relationship with four years ago, and that after that night... she got pregnant with my child."

"She had to keep the child for some reason, so she gave birth to the baby. She originally planned to raise the child herself, but now... she has had some accidents and can no longer take care of the child. She hopes I can take the child back and raise him/her."

Shen Jiyuan said in a deep voice, "I had someone check, and the woman who sent me the message is named Su Qian, the eldest daughter of the Su family."

"But when I went to the Su family, I didn't see Su Qian. The Su family insisted that the person from four years ago was Su Luo, the second daughter of the Su family, and that Su Qian had moved out of the Su family a long time ago and had never had children."

He picked up his cup, took a sip of tea, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Given my status and position, there are countless women who want to sleep with me and become the young mistress of the Shen family."

"I understand what the Su family and Su Luo mean."

"So I brought Su Luo and her son back. Actually, I also wanted to take this opportunity to test Su Qian to see if she was the same woman from four years ago."

"If she really is, judging from the content of the message she sent me, she would definitely be anxious when she saw me bring someone else's son back, and then she would show up to find me, saving me the trouble of asking someone to investigate; if not, then the person who sent me the message is someone else."

"They might be business rivals, so I need to make some plans."

"And I also want to see if the Su family has any other motives."

"I just didn't expect that as soon as I brought the person back, I would see Shen Ji coming to my door."

Shen Jiyuan looked up at him. "It was from Shen Ji that I learned that Su Qian was dead."

Zhao Tong frowned. "Can I see your message?"

Shen Jiyuan raised an eyebrow, took out his phone, opened the message, and handed it to Zhao Tong. Zhao Tong glanced at it and then handed it to Chen Dong next to him. After taking photos and videos, Chen Dong handed it back to Shen Jiyuan.

"So, you haven't seen Su Qian since about four years ago?" Zhao Tong asked.

Shen Jiyuan hummed in agreement, his gaze turning deep as he said, "You don't suspect that her death is related to me, do you?"

Zhao Tong said in a serious tone, "This is just a routine inquiry, a necessary step in the investigation."

Shen Jiyuan shrugged and said "Oh," then added, "Do you have any other questions? If not, then get lost, I have other things to do."

Zhao Tong: "..."

He glanced upstairs. "I wanted to ask..."

"You don't want to at all!" Shen Jiyuan slammed down his teacup and said coldly, "He's just a three-year-old child. Even if you wanted to, it wouldn't matter!"

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Shen Jiyuan, annoyed, simply pulled the person up.

Zhao Tong stumbled as he was pulled, and yelled, "Don't pull my dad! I can walk by myself!"

Shen Jiyuan narrowed his eyes and threatened, "If you dare say anything you shouldn't in front of my son, don't blame your grandfather for assaulting a police officer!"

Zhao Tong: "..."

So, does that mean you're admitting you have a son?

This grandson's identity changed pretty quickly!

He said irritably, "I'm just asking a few questions. Don't you want to know how Su Qian died?"

Shen Jiyuan chuckled, "I don't want to know, you'd better get lost."

"Hey, I'm telling you..."

"Alright," Shen Jiyuan said impatiently, "If you have any questions, just list them out and send them to me, and I'll ask them for you, okay?"

Although this was not in accordance with the rules, Zhao Tong thought about it for a moment and nodded.

Judging from Shen Jiyuan's nervous appearance, Shen Ji probably knows the same thing as the Su family: that Su Qian died of illness.

If he were to openly question Shen Ji now and reveal the truth, it would indeed be easy for the child to suffer psychological trauma.

"You brat," Zhao Tong pointed at Shen Jiyuan, "I didn't expect you to be such a son slave?"

Shen Jiyuan snorted, "That's the only heir of my Shen family right now. I can't let you go and mess with him."

Zhao Tong: "..."

After ruthlessly driving the person away, Shen Jiyuan shouted upstairs, "Shen Ji!"

Shen Ji slowly poked her head out from the gap in the railing, "Hey, I'm here~"

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

"Were you eavesdropping?"

"No," Shen Ji said, grinning as he gripped the railings on either side of his head. "I'm listening openly and honestly."

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

He squinted at Xiao Biga, but was surprised to find that the boy didn't seem to be as sad and scared as he had worried. Instead, he was overly calm and composed.

He stared at the other person for a long while before saying in a deep voice, "Get down."

Shen Ji said "oh," pulled his head back in, and ran downstairs.

Shen Jiyuan patted the sofa. "Come up and sit down."

Shen Ji climbed onto the sofa with a quick scramble and sat obediently next to him.

Rarely seeing him so obedient, Shen Jiyuan raised an eyebrow. "So, after hearing so much just now, you don't have anything to say to me?"

Shen Ji blinked. "Then, Dad, will you find the murderer who killed Mom?"

Shen Jiyuan chuckled, annoyed. "Investigating cases is the police's job. I'm not a policeman."

Shen Ji responded with a somewhat disappointed "oh".

"The way you're acting..." Shen Jiyuan narrowed his eyes, "Did you already know that your mother didn't die of illness?"

Shen Ji was indeed very suspicious.

However, the plot doesn't explain how Su Qian died, so he only has suspicions for now.

He felt that Su Qian's death was definitely related to the Su family.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, rubbing his fingers together, and said hesitantly, "I'm just guessing."

"A guess?"

"Before my mother died, she entrusted me to an uncle..." This was one of the few memories of the original owner that Shen Ji had left in his mind. "She said that bad people wanted to kill her and hoped that the uncle could bring me to find you, Dad."

"Later, I was taken away by that uncle."

Shen Ji clenched her little fists. "He locked me in a room, and I was alone in that dark room. I didn't dare to scream or run away. There was plenty of food and water in the room, so I ate when I was hungry and then slept..."

As he spoke, tears suddenly streamed down his face, falling in a steady stream onto his chubby little face. "I was so scared. Later, I cried and shouted for my mom, wanting her to come and get me, but no one cared about me."

"Waaaaah..."

Yoshikawa: [...]

【Host, how about we enter the entertainment industry? Your ability to cry on cue is so impressive, you'd surely become the youngest Best Actor winner.】

Shen Ji spat: [Shut up, you're ruining my crying scene. What if you start laughing later?]

Yoshikawa: [...]

Shen Jiyuan stared blankly at the small body of the boy, who was trembling with fear.

This little child has experienced something so frightening. Even for an adult, it would probably leave a deep psychological scar, let alone a three-year-old.

He suddenly remembered what Tang Qingshan had said: when children are in pain, they just hold it in and don't call for their parents.

Did he not want to?

No, because Mom is gone, and Dad... doesn't love him.

He knew perfectly well that he was just a nobody living under someone else's roof, so he dared not do anything too outrageous.

He was afraid... that he wouldn't be able to support him anymore.

Shen Jiyuan's breath hitched, and a complex emotion flashed in the depths of his dark eyes.

A voice in his left ear told him that this was his son, his flesh and blood, and that he should take on the responsibility of being a father, to hug him and comfort him, because he was afraid.

But the voice in his right ear told him that although this was his son, he was not the one he had hoped to come into this world.

It's just a hindrance, a little gadget.

He can keep it by his side like a pet; he doesn't lack the money. He won't have a deep emotional connection with this unwanted little thing or pet.

Two voices kept buzzing in his ears, making him somewhat... at a loss.

Shen Ji continued to feign crying, "Waaah, I'm so scared, but I don't know where my mom is... Later, that uncle told me that my mom died, and I don't have a mom anymore. He asked me to give him my mom's belongings, but I don't have any, waaaah..."

Shen Jiyuan's fingertips curled involuntarily. He took a breath before asking in a deep voice, "And then, how did you end up here?"

Shen Ji said with tears streaming down her face, "It was the dog that brought me here, my dad. He said you are my dad, and he told me to show you that piece of paper so you would take care of me."

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

He said irritably, "Can you understand dog language?"

Shen Ji sniffed, "Yes, Ye Ye is very smart."

Shen Jiyuan: "...Then where did you get your dog?"

Actually, he was just asking casually; he naturally didn't believe Shen Ji's claim that the dog brought him to recognize his relatives.

He figured the dog must also belong to Su Qian, and that Su Qian had instructed her to bring Shen Ji over.

Otherwise, how could a paternity test be obtained from a dog?

Shen Ji shook his head, feigning ignorance.

He wrote this himself; he can't very well say that Yeye is his system, can he?

Moreover, according to the original owner's memories, the original owner was indeed taken to a place and hidden by a man. When he transmigrated, the original owner had already been hidden for seven or eight days.

However, these details were not included in the original book, so Shen Ji did not know who that person was.

So, although he didn't understand why that person didn't take the original owner to find Shen Jiyuan as Su Qian had suggested, but instead hid him away.

But since he wanted to change his fate as cannon fodder, he couldn't just watch Shen Jiyuan go crazy.

In the book, he will eventually be found by Shen Jiyuan. Tsk tsk tsk, it's better to take the initiative now than to be passive later!

joke.

He's just a little flower of our motherland, and we don't want him to die young.

揍也得给沈纪渊那癫公恋爱脑揍成正道的光！

So, he simply let Sijiu take him out and they went straight to find Shen Jiyuan.
