Chapter 69: Chapter 069: I am Shen Yan Chapter 69: Chapter 069: I am Shen Yan “No, I’m Shen Yan from the Yanhua Family.”
Man: ???
Not the precious daughter of the Shen Family of Beijing?
Impossible.
The firsthand information they got was that she was exactly like this, choosing to forsake being a pampered heiress to become a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry.
Then, another person reminded, “She’s playing us.”
The leading man sneered, “Miss Shen, sorry, but Mr. Qi has offended too many people; blame him and your family.”
Shen Yan raised an eyebrow.
It turned out to be one of Qi Si’s enemies.
So.
Was she implicated now?
“Who sent you?”
Shen Yan didn’t show any panic, but calmly inquired about their origins.
“Miss Shen doesn’t need to know that,” the man in charge said, then took two large steps forward, reaching out to cover her mouth and nose with a pre-prepared cloth.
Faced with the delicate heiress, they had utterly dismissed her.
And in their eyes, Shen Yan’s dodging was merely a fortunate probability.
“Is that so? Then you don’t need to go back alive either.”
Shen Yan’s eyes flashed a cold gleam.
Using the movement of the man trying to cover her, and his hand reaching to restrain her, she suddenly overpowered him, seizing his wrist holding the cloth and turning it back towards his own face.
“Uh?”
The man was dazed by his own preparation, stifling his breath unwillingly.
Shen Yan kicked him in the stomach.
The pain caused him to open his mouth.
The scent on the cloth streamed into his nostrils and mouth.
His eyes rolled several times before he collapsed unwillingly.
In this particular spot, professional monitoring had already been disrupted and destroyed.
This made Shen Yan’s movements much less troublesome.
Muscle memory prevented her from pulling her punches.
Every strike was lethal.
Shen Yan’s hand connected with the chin of the second man who dared to approach her.
She moved like a swift sparrow, passing by the man while simultaneously avoiding his attack.
“Crack!”
Their mouths knocked together, producing a breaking sound.
The moment she darted behind the man, Shen Yan kicked backwards from two steps away, still facing away from him.
The power was astonishing.
The kick at his lower back produced the sound of a spinal fracture.
The last man, looking awful, watched as his companions were swiftly defeated by Shen Yan.
He pointed in astonishment at Shen Yan, “You’re really not that Shen Yan.”
Shen Yan adjusted her hat brim, took a few quick steps, and charged at the pale-faced man.
Her leap was graceful, imbued with a feel of lightness reminiscent of martial arts.
The man stepped back abruptly, raising his hand to block the knee coming down on him.
“Bang!”
The force slammed him back against the wall.
By the time he realized it, his throat was pinned against the corner by a finger bone.
Just a push from the hand’s owner could snap his throat.
A tremor of fear radiated from deep within the man.
“You’re a body double for Shen Yan!”
Some children from major families often have confidentially trained doubles.
These doubles would appear in public to do the most dangerous tasks, while the real person only needed to stand in the safest spot enjoying the fruits of labor.
But…
Only people of high reputation from major families or those who have achieved great success receive such special treatment.
Shen Yan, apart from being the heiress of the Shen Family, was nothing else.
She couldn’t afford such treatment.
“I am Shen Yan.”
Shen Yan coldly pronounced the words, revealing her true identity, not the foolish love-struck version.
Without any hesitation, her actions sharp and decisive, she shattered his throat.
Her hand, silky smooth, slid into the waistband where a knife was concealed.
Shen Yan’s hand, covered by the fabric, drew out the knife and delivered a fatal blow to the body, and then moved back outside and directly dealt with the other two men.
From the moment she started, there was not a hint of hesitation.
She knew that in such situations, there usually were other accomplices nearby.
If contact was not made within half an hour, their people would come looking.
After finishing the task, Shen Yan grabbed Xiao Zhao and threw him over her shoulder.
She carried him away!
*
Shen Yan was in a very bad mood.
The smell of blood made her especially uneasy.
She knew that she had broken the law.
But had she not acted, she would have been the one to die.
Sometimes, people can be a million times scarier than ghosts.
In the end, it was the “paper doll” argument that convinced her, and she slowly fell asleep.
However, that night, she was plagued by nightmares.
In her dreams, no matter how she tried to flee, she couldn’t escape the Jungle Base.
Nor could she escape the control of that group of madmen.
She had pleaded with her parents for help, to no avail.
She would forever remember the cold, sacrificial gaze with which her parents had looked at her.
They, too, were like those madmen, personally experimenting on her!
Initially, she had been deceived by her parents into going there, thinking they truly missed her and had been happy about it for a long time.
During the initial successful period, they traveled with her from country to country, eliminating obstacles for some big shots.
She still remembered the fear the first time she was forced to act…

Shen Yan suddenly opened her eyes and sat up abruptly.
Sweat soaked her hair and clothes.
On the bed, there were obvious signs of sweat.
She dragged her sticky body into the bathroom to wash away all the sweat.
Feeling refreshed, she emerged only to hear the door being frantically knocked on.
While drying her hair, Shen Yan opened the door.
Outside stood a very anxious Xiao Zhao and Liu Su.
“Miss Shen! Are you alright?”
Liu Su, having heard from Xiao Zhao about the attack last night, was so anxious that his heart felt like it would explode.
“Yanyan! Oh! You’re alright, thank goodness!” Xiao Zhao’s tears flowed copiously as she hugged Shen Yan, inhaling her softly scented body and even taking a couple of deep breaths!
Thank goodness!
Her Yanyan was alright!
Shen Yan held up her hand, a towel still on her head.
Suddenly attacked by Xiao Zhao, Shen Yan nearly threw her off by the head.
She frowned and pushed Xiao Zhao away.
Only then did Xiao Zhao realize she had smeared her runny nose on Shen Yan’s fragrant clothes, her face turning red!
“Come in first,” Shen Yan turned and sat down on the sofa.
Liu Su gave Xiao Zhao a cold look and followed, “Miss Shen, Xiao Zhao mentioned that you were attacked last night.”
“We did encounter two or three people who blocked our way, but they just issued a few warnings and let us go.”
“What? Why did they knock me out then?” Xiao Zhao asked innocently.
Liu Su furrowed his brow, suspecting that Shen Yan was hiding something.
Shen Yan said, “You were too noisy.”
Xiao Zhao: “…”
“Xiao Zhao, go fetch some breakfast for Miss Shen,” Liu Su sent Xiao Zhao away.
Once the door was closed, Liu Su spoke seriously, “Miss Shen, you don’t need to hide anything from me.”
Seeing this, Shen Yan picked a few things she could share, “The other party claimed they were seeking revenge for Mr. Qi, clearly Qi Si’s enemies. They didn’t get a chance to harm me, as a kind person subdued them on the spot.”
Liu Su’s expression grew even more serious, “Miss Shen was frightened, I will report this incident clearly to Mr. Hui.”
Shen Yan nodded.
“That kind-hearted person…”
“I was too scared and only focused on hiding; I didn’t get a clear look at him, but he was very skilled…like a fighter from TV, very capable.”
Liu Su kept watching Shen Yan, and indeed, she seemed to have been frightened.
This must be someone sent by the Shen Family.
To say they don’t care about her well-being, not considering her their daughter, yet still secretly sending someone to protect her.
“Miss Shen, you rest first, I’m going to step out,” Liu Su stood up and left.
