Chapter 31: Burning Together

Winter can be very cold. Yunxi accompanied Shen Mingxu to the hospital for an eye check. Before leaving, she checked the weather and found that the temperature had dropped by seven or eight degrees. "It's so cold today."

"Wear more clothes and feel them for me to see if they are thick enough?" Sitting in a wheelchair, Shen Mingxu wore a striped shirt with an off-white cardigan. He took the short coat Yunxi gave him and was groping for the buttons and labels, preparing to put it on.

"I'm wearing a thick sweater and a thick coat, don't worry." Going out means taking a car, and they rarely stay outside, so the temperature change has little impact.

It didn't have much impact, and Yunxi still brought a soft scarf for Shen Mingxu, fearing that he would catch a cold. As she moved, the bracelet on Yunxi's wrist made a familiar sound to Shen Mingxu. While she was putting the scarf on him, he reached out to touch her, from the cuffs to the waist, and then carefully touched her pants. He found that she was indeed wearing a lot of clothes. Shen Mingxu put down his hand with satisfaction, raised his head and smiled, "Look at her."

The man who was not wearing formal clothes did not have his hair done. Yunxi looked at Shen Mingxu's thin chin, clear brow bones, and elegant and delicate carvings from the hair tip to the Adam's apple. His eyes were as clear as before even though he could not see anything. There was no part of him that was not perfect and noble. He always retained the innocence of a big boy, and he was always a handsome man.

It was an ordinary day, quiet and without any signs.

Yunxi had just left home after taking care of Shen Mingxu, and the Shen Company and Shen Mingchen's home had been set up with a dragnet, and the net was immediately closed.

Shen Mingchen was not upstairs. He saw the police car from a distance in the garage, the police got off the car and approached, and instantly guessed what was going on. It was useless to catch him, because the real evidence was in the Shen family mansion, but if the Shen family fell, Shen Mingchen's life would not be easy. Without time to think too much, Shen Mingchen started the car and rushed out of his garage.

Shen's company is a public place. Several policemen went straight to the core floor of Shen's company and quickly took away the wives of Shen Zhongheng and Shen Mingchen, but they remained silent. Grasping evidence became the most important part of breaking the situation.

Maybe going to the hospital was not very pleasant. Sitting in the car, Shen Mingxu's eyelids twitched slightly. It didn't hurt, but it made him irritable. His left leg also joined in like a temper tantrum. The remaining muscles in his thigh kept twitching. He couldn't sit still.

It could be seen that Shen Mingxu was in a bad mood, but Yunxi gritted his teeth and didn't say anything to comfort him. He just sat beside him silently.

"Bang", Shen Mingxu's mobile phone was placed next to the wheelchair. He reached out to take it, but it was unstable and fell directly on the floor in the car.

"Don't move, I'll pick it up for you." Yunxi bent down to pick up the mobile phone while holding the seat. Before the mobile phone was handed back to Shen Mingxu, the man frowned and spoke lightly.

"Go home, I have something to get."

"What? Get it after the checkup, what is it?" Yunxi tried to stop him, she tried to persuade him to finish the checkup.

"Brother, turn around and go back immediately." The voice was clear and pleasant, but actually there was no emotion when she gave Zhou Heng a direct order.

"Okay." After agreeing, Zhou Heng really began to pull over and look for an intersection to turn around.

With her eyelashes drooping, Yunxi turned her face slightly to prevent Zhou Heng from seeing her expression. She gritted her teeth and hesitated whether to listen to Shen Mingxu. It was difficult to convince Shen Mingxu or Zhou Heng in an instant. She decided not to say anything and obeyed Shen Mingxu.

"Brother, give the car to Yunxi. We may not go to the hospital today." The young master's words made Yunxi relax a lot. Zhou Heng left after work, and Yunxi drove the car to take Shen Mingxu back to the Shen family mansion.

"Xiaoxu, I'll park the car at the door. Tell me what you need and I'll get it?" The police car did not come directly, but all the cars at the door of the Shen family mansion were "their own people". She was still making the last struggle, wanting to take him away?

"I'm not feeling well. Let's go in." Although he was dressed in loose clothes and a white coat, Shen Mingxu had a cold aura today, which matched the weather very well.

Yunxi slowly pushed the wheelchair over and walked to the door where Shen Mingxu was, opened the door for him, and stretched out her hand to guide him to move his legs to the wheelchair.

The plan was messed up. She was going to take him away from home...

"Let's go back to the room." Yunxi knew that she couldn't get Shen Mingxu to do what she wanted to do just by saying that she wanted to go back to the room, so she followed his instructions and led the people who couldn't see the road clearly, slowly pushing the wheelchair into the door.

Shen Mingxu couldn't see. If the police's action went smoothly, he should have noticed it after entering the house. He had little mobility and would not be an obstacle to the arrest. Yunxi always considered his safety.

The wheelchair entered the entrance of the house. Shen Mingxu's electric wheelchair was parked in the wide door. He touched the handrail of the wheelchair and just determined the direction of the wheelchair. Before he could move, a huge collision sounded like an explosion, and everyone was startled.

The sound was too loud and obviously came from this building.

"Xiaoxi," he reached his hand behind him in panic. Worried that Yunxi would be scared, Shen Mingxu pulled her to his side as soon as he touched her, holding Yunxi's hand tightly, "What happened? Did the kitchen explode or did the building collapse somewhere? Don't take the elevator, be careful and find a place to hide." He wanted to hug his lover and go upstairs to see where his mother was, but he was sitting in a wheelchair and couldn't see. He had no control over the direction and couldn't move at all.

"I won't go. I'll accompany you." Yunxi was also stunned. She wanted to go out and see, but she didn't want to leave Shen Mingxu alone.

When Yunxi said she would accompany him, the workers at home began to run out of the building. The aunt who was cleaning on the second floor saw the situation downstairs and shouted to Shen Mingxu while running, "Little Master, get out quickly. The eldest master drove his car into the garage. The garage door is rotten. It will be fatal if the building collapses in a while..." She panted and ran out of the door.

It turned out to be the sound of a car hitting the building, but how could a car knock down such a big building?

Danger does exist. Shen Mingxu is disabled and has difficulty in moving, but he is still a responsible man in his bones. He doesn't know why his brother did this, but the family is now in danger and he can't take care of himself.

"Brother, brother, Xiaoxi, have you seen your brother?" Holding the wheel rim with his fingers, Shen Mingxu no longer planned to change the electric wheelchair, and turned the wheel directly in the direction of the elevator in his memory.

"I didn't see it, but the elevator went upstairs..." Yunxi wanted to pull him out of the house. She was considering whether to use violence or persuasion. If she wanted to persuade, she might not have time.

Cars that had never appeared at the door of the house, people approaching suspiciously, Shen Mingchen wanted to destroy the evidence and account books that could convict him, and he knew that something had happened to his father. He took the elevator in the basement like crazy and went straight to the secret room, trying to set the whole building on fire. The police didn't think that Shen Mingchen wanted to burn himself to death by crashing into the garage, and they had no time to catch up with him.

Everyone in the house knew that something unusual had happened, only Shen Mingxu, who didn't know anything.

"Mom, mom, are you upstairs? Xiaoxi, go out, I'll go upstairs to find mom." He remembered that his mother was at home, so he shouted upstairs twice, turned his head and asked Yunxi to go to a safer place. Shen Mingxu turned the wheelchair by himself and went to the elevator.

"I'll go up with you." Mrs. Shen's bedroom was on the fourth floor. She should be doing skin or hair care after breakfast. Yunxi was worried that Shen Mingxu would act alone. She was worried that he would fall, and she was even more worried that he would collapse and feel helpless after knowing what happened.

She couldn't harden her heart to him, and because Shen Mingchen was upstairs, since she had to go, she would go and take a look. Maybe she could use Shen Mingchen's hand to easily open the door of the secret room.

The wheelchair entered the elevator, and the two brothers met on the top floor, the fifth floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Shen Mingxu, who couldn't see anything, didn't have time to ask Yunxi about the situation in front of him, and directly shouted, "Brother? Brother, what are you doing?"

"You two leave quickly, I'm going to burn this place down." Entering iris information and opening the door of the secret room, Shen Mingchen was thinking about his own escape route. He still had a sense of family affection, but he actually wanted his brother to leave.

"Brother, why? What happened?" Familiar home, familiar brother, Shen Mingxu didn't understand what happened.

"The police are here, you're blind and can't see, didn't she tell you?" Shen Mingchen was extremely excited and had no patience to explain to his brother. They were not born of the same mother, not to mention that the other party had something that he didn't have with his disabled body.

"Police? Is that why you crashed into the garage, brother?" Shen Mingxu was stunned. At this time, he didn't doubt Yunxi at all.

"Xiaoxu, humph, you have been in the UK for seven years, how come you really became a foreigner? Don't you know what's at home and what to do?"

After just a few words of conversation, Shen Mingchen had already walked into the secret room. Yunxi said nothing and pushed the wheelchair into the secret room. Shen Mingxu knew what Yunxi was doing, but he was alerted by his brother's words.

After graduating from the UK and returning to China at the age of 21, Shen Mingxu gradually learned that there were some hidden and unrevealed secrets in his family. Because of his weak ability and shallow family ties, he treated himself as an ostrich and pretended not to know.

Now, the police have come to his house, and his brother even wants to burn the whole family. What kind of evil things did the Shen family do to be so determined to burn everything down?

"Brother, don't destroy this family!" He wanted to stop his crazy brother, but what could he do? Shen Mingxu was shaking all over, and he was so excited that he could hardly control his limbs.

The secret room is so large that even talking can echo. Smelling the smell of the incense and looking at the gradually clear antique shelves with rows of strange or familiar cultural relics on them, Yunxi looked at this place more carefully.

"The police arrested dad and your sister-in-law at the company. They want to arrest our whole family, but it seems that they will not arrest you. Dad has protected you very well." Opening the small door behind the secret room, Shen Mingchen did not hesitate to open a barrel of gasoline and pushed it over to let the gasoline flow all over the floor. The strong and pungent smell spread instantly. The three people all smelled it, and their hearts changed differently.

"Brother, turn yourself in. It's not too late." Is it really too late? As the youngest son who cannot walk and cannot see, Shen Mingxu felt desperate. He could not protect the lover behind him, could not save the rotten family, and could not even hold his brother's hand to persuade him. He could only sit in the wheelchair and wail, either waiting to die or begging.

While Shen Mingchen was going crazy, Yunxi looked at the Buddha statue standing quietly. She gritted her teeth and gradually loosened her hand on the wheelchair handle.

After opening the second barrel of gasoline, Shen Mingchen spoke hoarsely and frantically, "We are dirty, and you are clean. What a pity, there is nothing left for you to inherit."

With his fingers tightly grasping the wheel rim, Shen Mingxu wanted to stride over to stop him, but he didn't even know the exact direction of the danger, so he had to ask for help, "Xiaoxi, push me over, I want to stop him."

She really pushed the wheelchair, which could protect the national treasure and save everyone's lives. Why not do something that kills two birds with one stone?

Yunxi thought that Shen Mingchen's next move would be to take out the fire, but he didn't expect that after he pushed down the two barrels of gasoline, he took out a gun from a shelf. Under the dim light, the pure black gun body reflected a cold light. After seeing it, Yunxi instinctively grabbed the wheelchair armrest, turned the wheelchair around, and pushed it in another direction.

She couldn't wait any longer. Facing weapons, delaying for one more second could result in the Buddha statue being damaged and the person dying.

Without words or greetings, Yunxi twisted her body and reached out to grab the gun from Shen Mingchen's hand. Shen Mingchen saw Yunxi rushing towards him and took a reckless approach. He tried to avoid her hand even when his hand hit the wall. He didn't let go even though it hurt, and held the gun tightly.

"Xiaoxi?" Shen Mingxu felt that he was pushed away silently while sitting. His voice was very light when he asked...

"Little girl, are you a policeman?" Looking at Yunxi who was standing straight, Shen Mingchen began to curse.

Physical collision, metal hitting the wall, and his brother's curses all came from behind. Shen Mingxu was busy turning his wheelchair to determine the direction of Yunxi.

There was nothing to say to the suspect. Yunxi didn't want to waste a word on Shen Mingchen. She stared at the target and went straight to him. Shen Mingchen also has some judo and fighting skills. What's more, he is a man. He has an absolute advantage in natural physical strength. Yunxi can't fight him head-on, so he can only attack him with skills.

Hearing that his brother who wanted to burn down the house was fighting with his lover who took the initiative, Shen Mingxu, who was almost blind, was already shaking in shock in his wheelchair, unable to utter a word
