When they got home, the old master didn't say a word. He just stood there quietly, looking at everything in front of him, and then patted Yi Pin on the shoulder.
Yi Pin went back to his room and lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Preliminary investigation shows that Yi Feng had a conflict with the gangsters, which led to the death of his girlfriend. Then he colluded with some underworld figures... and finally took advantage of you!"
Qi Mingyang's voice kept echoing in his ears over and over again.
For the first time, Yi Pin felt that life was not worth living.
Why was everything so different from what he had imagined? Why was the world like this?
He stared at the ceiling until morning. But unexpectedly, the news spread like wildfire across the country in an instant.
Almost everyone knew about the scandal of Shengyu Group. It had spread like wildfire overnight, and the Yi family was pushed to the forefront of the storm.
Yi Pin got up groggily the next day and was greeted by a sight that shocked him. The whole house was surrounded.
Reporters blocked the door tightly, leaving no room for anyone to pass.
Yi Pin felt a bit dazed. He never expected things to turn out like this, and his heart was filled with irritation.
Before he had time to feel sad, he was faced with this situation.
Yi Pin frowned and walked downstairs.
He saw the old master sitting in the living - room with a serious face.
"What's going on?"
Yi Pin walked down and saw that the old master was extremely angry, as if he was about to explode at any moment.
"Your father has been taken away by the police. They said it was for cooperation in the investigation because he had close contacts with the suspect!"
The old master said coldly.
Yi Pin was shocked. His heart was filled with panic, and he knew that this was a real crisis.
He picked up his phone and saw a flood of news. Some were questioning how the old master, a respected general, could have raised such a grandson... The doubts were endless, and the Yi family was highly controversial.
In just a few hours, the stock of his father's company plummeted.
It seemed that everything was getting worse.
The family was in a complete mess.
But what made Yi Pin the most sad was that the old master fell ill. The old man, who had always been healthy, was now seriously ill and bed - ridden.
Yi Pin was very busy. He had to deal with the company's affairs every day and take care of his grandfather. Although the company had confirmed that it had little to do with Yi Feng's case, its reputation had still been severely damaged.
These days had been chaotic. Yi Pin didn't have time to think too much, so he didn't contact Shen Yu. The main reason was that he felt a bit dazed and didn't know how to face Shen Yu.
His heart was filled with irritation. Now he began to feel strange. If Shen Yu had really done such a thing and framed Yi Feng, how could the old master of the Yi family and so many others have let Shen Yu go? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
But it seemed too late. His trust had come too late.
Yi Pin was often called to the police station to cooperate with the investigation and went to his father's company to help deal with some affairs. He was so busy every day that he had no time to think about other things.
Now the world suspected that the Yi family had abused their power to protect Yi Feng. True and false news was flooding in.
It was just an ordinary day. Yi Pin walked out of the company, loosened his tie, feeling a bit dazed and depressed. He walked on the road alone.
Every time he took a car, he would be surrounded, so he had to find an opportunity to escape home when there was no one around.
People tend to follow the crowd. It seemed that once there was a scandal, they would judge all the people associated with it, and finally it would affect everyone around them.
The wind was a bit cold. Yi Pin frowned and was about to light a cigarette when he found that he had no lighter.
At this moment, an old - fashioned lighter suddenly appeared in front of him, with a blue flame flickering.
Yi Pin lit his cigarette and looked up to see Shen Yu smiling at him.
Looking at Shen Yu's handsome face, he felt a bit dazed. It had been a long time since he last saw this face.
Yi Pin forced a smile on his face, feeling a bit embarrassed. Thinking about all the stupid things he had done against Shen Yu over the years, he felt extremely ashamed.
He had a stronger desire to escape.
"Yi Pin, long time no see!"
Shen Yu said with a smile, the corner of his mouth curving up, showing his handsome face and cold lips.
Yi Pin scratched his head. "Long time no see!"
"Let's go. I'll treat you to dinner!"
Shen Yu smiled.
In fact, he had really missed Yi Pin during this period. But thinking about what Yi Pin had said that day, he felt that he was just being self - indulgent.
"I'll treat you!" Yi Pin said awkwardly. Seeing Shen Yu again, he felt irritated in his heart and ashamed of his ignorance over the years.
The two of them went to a hot - pot restaurant.
Shen Yu only ate a few mouthfuls and then just sat there quietly, looking at Yi Pin.
Yi Pin didn't eat much either. Because of all the things that had happened in his family during this period, he felt cold - hearted and had no appetite.
"Eat more!" Shen Yu stared directly at Yi Pin in front of him, picked up some food for him, and frowned.
Although Yi Pin nodded with a smile, his appetite was obviously not as good as before.
Shen Yu frowned and said, "Yi Pin, don't worry. I'm here! Don't worry about your father's matter either. I'll handle it!"
Hearing this voice, Yi Pin suddenly felt a bit aggrieved and frowned.
His heart was filled with warmth, and he suddenly felt very safe. Every time he was at a loss, hearing Shen Yu's voice made him believe that everything would be okay as he said.
Shen Yu hooked his mouth into a calm smile and stroked Yi Pin's face.
After dinner, Shen Yu drove Yi Pin home, but there were many reporters blocking the door, along with a bunch of cameras.
"Come to my place!"
Shen Yu said coldly.
"Okay!"
Yi Pin nodded. He sat in the passenger seat, leaned back on the chair, and closed his eyes slightly, looking very tired.
Shen Yu hooked his mouth into a smile, but there was a frown between his eyebrows.
When they got home, they saw a light come on in the dark room.
It seemed that Yi Pin hadn't been here for a long time.
Yi Pin smiled and looked at the warm surroundings.
"Shen Yu, you..."
Yi Pin suddenly said.
Shen Yu smiled, walked up to Yi Pin, and stared directly at him.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yu said with a smile, his voice extremely gentle.
"Why didn't you deny it? For so long, I've been slandering you, making up stories out of nothing, and..."
Before Yi Pin could finish his sentence, Shen Yu's kiss landed gently on his lips. Yi Pin stood there stunned. After a moment, he quickly responded, wanting to pull Shen Yu into his arms.
Shen Yu slowly stroked Yi Pin's head. Yi Pin was in a complete mess, as if he had been turned to stone.
Yi Pin suddenly realized that this was the taste he had been longing for. He quickly responded, and his face instantly turned a bit red.
The two of them kissed passionately, and the feeling was extremely intense. Their feelings were about to burst out.
