The situation was even worse than before; her whole body felt limp and she had no strength left.

I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to raise their hand.

But she couldn't panic, and she couldn't let Su Jian notice anything unusual about her.

"Da da da—"

Yu Anping was making a phone call in the next room when he suddenly heard Su Jian scream. He immediately threw down his phone and rushed to open the door: "What happened?"

Seeing his son kneeling before Shen Bingyan, looking pained, while Shen Bingyan's face was deathly pale, she still pretended to be calm.

Yu Anping breathed a sigh of relief, and the wariness and murderous intent in his eyes dissipated by most.

He quickly walked up to Su Jian and helped him stand up. At one glance, Yu Anping could tell that Su Jian was not seriously injured.

It's just a dislocated jaw.

Yu Anping gently turned Su Jian's neck, straightened Su Jian's chin, and then looked at Shen Bingyan.

He knew his biological son, whom he had spoiled since childhood, quite well. In comparison, he preferred to listen to Shen Bingyan's story.

"Miss Chen, what just happened?"

Shen Bingyan knew that Yu Anping was not as easily fooled as Su Jian. Someone who had experienced life and death could easily see through her current physical condition.

Her trembling hands, which she tried to hide, might fool Su Jian, but they certainly couldn't fool Yu Anping.

She could only use the Shen family to intimidate Yu Anping.

Shen Bingyan said coldly, "Yu Anping, does your Qi family want to completely sever ties with my Shen family? Does he really think that after crossing my bottom line, I will still be able to coexist peacefully with the Qi family?"

"If anything happens to me here, I guarantee the Shen family will not let you off the hook."

"Not only will we not let you off the hook, but we will also investigate this matter thoroughly. In the end, neither you nor... the Qi family will have an easy time!"

Yu Anping understood Shen Bingyan's pause.

His eyes suddenly flashed.

The power of the Shen family should not be underestimated, especially in recent years with the expansion of Shen Bingyan's influence. If the two families really break apart, the Qi family may not be able to suppress the Shen family.

Of the three people in the room, only Su Jian understood the surface meaning.

The other two were well aware that if Shen Bingyan got into trouble, the Shen family would investigate the whole affair thoroughly.

When that time comes, the Shen family will know how Shen Bingyan got into trouble and why she ended up in Lucheng.

By then, Zhou Yi's affair will no longer be able to be kept secret!

Moreover, as long as Shen Bingyan does not forgive Su Jian's mistakes, with the absolute support of the Shen family, it will become impossible for him to get rid of Zhou Yi.

Both of them know about Zhou Yi's situation, but neither dares to bring it up to higher authorities.

Yu Anping didn't speculate on why Shen Bingyan didn't report finding Zhou Yi to the Shen family.

He only cared about the result. As long as Shen Bingyan didn't report the matter, he would have a chance to get rid of Zhou Yi before then. As for the reason, it didn't matter.

Upon hearing Shen Bingyan's words, Yu Anping grabbed Su Jian's wrist and said to Shen Bingyan, "Miss Shen, I'm sorry, it was my fault for not taking good care of you."

"Su Jian, apologize to Miss Shen immediately."

Seeing that Lian Yu Anping was standing on Shen Bingyan's side and his face was very ugly, as if he was suppressing his anger, Su Jian could only apologize and admit his mistake for the time being.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Yan Yan, I'm sorry, I was out of my mind just now."

"I just love you too much. I swear, I will never do anything inappropriate to you without your consent again."

Please forgive me.

Shen Bingyan said coldly, "Get out! Leave me alone for a while."

Yu Anping's expression softened, and he pulled Su Jian out, closing the door to Shen Bingyan's room.

Yu Anping said to Su Jian with a serious expression:

“Come with me to the balcony, let’s talk.”

Su Jian also happened to have a question for Yu Anping, so he nodded, and the two of them walked to the balcony together.

The balcony is far from Shen Bingyan's room, so the two of them can talk here without worrying about being overheard.

As soon as they reached the balcony, Su Jian couldn't wait to ask, his eyes shining: "Uncle Yu, please tell me quickly, what's wrong with Shen Bingyan's illness?"

"Wasn't it said that after the Shen family members fell ill, their bodies would be weak for a period of time?"

"How come Shen Bingyan still has the strength to resist?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Yu Anping's eyes as he warned Su Jian, "Su Jian, after the Shen family members fall ill, their bodies will indeed enter a period of weakness."

"But your behavior just now was really too much! Don't even think about doing anything to Shen Bingyan at this time. The Shen family is not so easy to mess with."

"Especially Shen Bingyan, she is proud and unyielding, and is the Shen family's future heir whom Old Master Shen values ​​most."

"Given your status and future, you will eventually become the successor of the Qi family. You can pursue her honestly, but if you want to take crooked paths, even if you are the future successor of the Qi family, the Shen family may not accept it."

However--

Su Jian didn't take Yu Anping's warning seriously. He didn't believe in the "unyielding" nonsense. He thought women would just submit once they were slept with.

After all, all the girls he had met before were like that—saying no, no, but in the end, they were always extremely proactive.

At this moment, he only cared about one thing: whether Shen Bingyan still had any ability to resist.

Upon hearing Yu Anping affirm that the disease has a period of weakness, Su Jian's mind immediately became active.

He carefully recalled Shen Bingyan's reaction just now and suddenly realized that he had been fooled by Shen Bingyan.

"Su Jian, did you hear me?!"

"You can do whatever you want abroad, but in China, you better behave yourself. Especially with this woman in front of you, her surname is Chen!"

Seeing Su Jian deep in thought and calculating, Yu Anping feared that he might be up to something else.

Yu Anping's voice suddenly rose, and he gave Su Jian a stern warning.

Su Jian was very resentful, but Yu Anping was his grandfather's confidant, and many of the Qi family's businesses had to go through Yu Anping's hands. He had not yet become the Qi family's heir.

Naturally, he didn't want to have a conflict with Yu Anping right now.

He had no choice but to keep those thoughts to himself and nod obediently on the surface:

"Uncle Yu, it's alright, I know I was wrong. I was too hasty just now."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything so stupid again."

Yu Anping looked at Su Jian suspiciously, not believing that Su Jian would be so obedient.

But he didn't say anything in the end. He thought to himself that he would arrange for someone to keep an eye on Shen Bingyan at all times and prevent something like today from happening again.

Both of them had their own thoughts, but on the surface they pretended to be nonchalant.

On the other side.

Ever since Zhou Yi learned that the blocked phone numbers belonged to Shen Bingyan, he has been calling her every day...
