Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 443: Filial Piety
On the big screen, a video with messy shots and noisy picture quality slowly appeared.

In the scene, the young Yan Shiyu stands quietly by the hospital bed, his calm demeanor contrasting sharply with the shaky camera.

He stood there motionless until the person on the hospital bed, who had fallen into a coma, finally sensed something and slowly opened their eyes.

Due to her illness, Ji Sushang looked haggard, thin, and pale. She wore an oxygen mask, making it almost impossible to recognize her original face. However, she still managed to force a smile the moment she saw her son.

But Yan Shiyu remained motionless.

Ji Sushang shifted her gaze with difficulty, finally turning it towards the camera.

The moment she looked at the camera, she seemed to pause for a moment, then fell into a daze, staring blankly at the camera. It wasn't until much later that she came to her senses and looked again at the boy standing by the hospital bed with his head slightly bowed.

Because Yan Shiyu was facing away from the camera, his facial expression was not visible in the shot. Even as the camera panned across the screen for a long time, he remained motionless, like a stone statue.

Until Ji Sushang reached out her thin, bony hand, trying to grab him.

But the moment their hands touched, he felt as if he had been burned by something, and he abruptly pulled his hands back, hiding them behind his back.

Ji Sushang's hand missed its target, hovering in the air for only two seconds before falling limply back onto the bed.

Just then, two coughs were heard off-camera.

The sound was very soft; it was almost inaudible without careful listening.

However, in the scene, after those two coughs, the young Yan Shiyu finally raised his head slightly.

It seemed that only at this moment did he finally meet Ji Sushang's gaze.

The moment the mother and son looked at each other, the world seemed to fall silent.

No one knows what the mother and son exchanged with their eyes at that moment.

All that is known is that after that brief eye contact, Yan Shiyu finally moved.

He raised his hand and reached towards Ji Sushang's bedside.

The boy's fingers were pale and stiff as he slowly closed the oxygen valve.

Ji Sushang watched his actions quietly from beginning to end, without a trace of doubt or struggle.

Even after Yan Shiyu finished closing the valve, she seemed to smile in the somewhat blurry image.

Yan Shiyu lowered his gaze, seemingly seeing the expression on her face, and fell into a motionless state once again.

Until Ji Sushang's face slowly and uncontrollably revealed an expression of pain.

She seemed to reach out as if to grab something.

Her biological son, whom she depended on for survival, was right in front of her. He was the one she should have reached out and held. But halfway through her outstretched hand, she abruptly turned towards the hospital bed and grabbed the bed rail.

From using up all their strength to finally falling limply.

Yan Shiyu stood by the hospital bed, personally ending and watching his own mother pass away.

From beginning to end, he was like a cold-blooded machine, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

After Ji Sushang breathed her last, the camera remained focused on the motionless Yan Shiyu for a moment before abruptly stopping. Looking at the blank screen, Old Master Yan turned to Yan Shiyu and asked, "How did you get this footage?"

Only after he asked that question did Yan Shiyu finally turn his gaze away from the blank screen. Hearing Old Master Yan's question, he slowly raised his eyes and chuckled.

"Speaking of which, wouldn't you say this is my life's film?" Yan Shiyu said. "Shouldn't I have a film like this?"

Grandpa Yan stared intently at Yan Shiyu's calm face for a long while before finally speaking, "What exactly do you want to do?"

“I was raised by my grandfather, so of course I should do what my grandfather wants me to do,” Yan Shiyu said. “Didn’t my grandfather think I was very disobedient and should be punished? But my grandfather was always kind-hearted and couldn’t bear to kill me, so I’ll do it myself.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Shiyu raised her hand and typed a key on the keyboard in front of her.

Old Master Yan's expression changed instantly.

At the very moment Yan Shiyu typed on the keyboard, major online platforms simultaneously released the video, each with its own eye-catching headlines, instantly igniting a frenzy of discussion across all online platforms on what was otherwise an ordinary night.

"Is it true? Is it really Yan Shiyu?"

"The silhouette does resemble him, but I don't know why there's such a video, or why it was released at this time?"

"It seems that someone really wants to destroy the Yan family. So many scandals have already been exposed, and now the only heir has been exposed to this kind of news. There's more to this than meets the eye!"

"Isn't the main point that he personally ended his own mother's life? That was his own mother! What kind of person would do such a thing?"

"It is speculated that ending his mother's life was one of the conditions for returning to the Yan family, just like the ancient practice of removing the mother and keeping the son. Before appointing the crown prince, the crown prince's birth mother was killed to prevent any unforeseen events from happening later."

"But he really did it! He really did it! He ended his own mother's life with his own hands! No matter what the preconditions were, can someone who does such a thing still be considered a human being?"

"It's really hard to imagine that before this, the media described him as a dignified, upright, and elegant gentleman! How could he do something like this? It's terrifying! Terrifying!"

"We hope the authorities can investigate thoroughly and issue a statement as soon as possible. If it's true, such people must be punished by law!"

"I don't understand it, I can't comprehend it, but I'm deeply shocked!"

……

That very night, while everyone's attention was focused on the video, new evidence was discovered in the financial case involving the Yan family, and several senior executives were brought back to the task force overnight for investigation and interrogation.

That same night, Grandpa Yan was hospitalized due to a sudden heart attack.

The following day, after a night of public discussion, Yan Shiyu was taken to the police station for investigation because of the video.

The car he was in was chased and photographed by the media all the way. Eventually, several authoritative media outlets captured footage of his car driving into the police station, sparking a new round of discussion.

While everyone was discussing the matter and waiting for the official conclusion, Yan Shiyu left the police station and returned to the Yan family a few hours later with the help of his lawyer.

As his car drove into the Yan family's gate, Old Master Yan had just returned from the hospital and was being helped into a wheelchair by the housekeeper, preparing to go inside.

The moment Yan Shiyu's car appeared, the air at the scene froze.

Everyone stared at the car until Yan Shiyu pushed open the door and got out.

Butler Li strode forward and almost shouted, "What are you doing back here?"

Yan Shiyu didn't even glance at him, but walked straight past him to Grandpa Yan, bowed slightly, and said, "Grandpa was taken to the hospital last night after a shock, and now is the time for him to rest. Of course I have to come back... to fulfill my filial duty."
