Unbeknownst to Chen Jiayi, someone was secretly watching her.

The man in the shadows gritted his teeth as he watched the two embracing!

He heard the news at noon today!

If someone hadn't let it slip, Ding Haowen wouldn't have known that Chen Jiayi was getting married.

He felt a bit of resentment towards Chen Jiayi. Why could Chen Jiayi marry a man who had never been married before? Why could Chen Jiayi marry so well?

Ding Haowen looked at the peaceful scene before him with resentment in his eyes and a distorted expression.

Finally, he left in a huff.

I rushed here today and finally made it to the scene.

If it weren't for the unexpected event that happened halfway through, Chen Jiayi's wedding wouldn't have gone so smoothly!

After leaving the Shen family, Ding Haowen came to a small alley.

He looked around to make sure no one was following him before turning into the alley.

Turning to a secluded corner, Ding Haowen opened a door that resembled a wall.

He walked in through the door, circled the living room, and finally saw the person in the dark room.

Lin Yuyao, expressionless, held a cigarette between her fingers as she watched Ding Haowen return, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"What? Are you late?"

Ding Haowen glanced at the man covered in bruises and said in a flat tone.

Who is this person?

Lin Yuyao stubbed out her cigarette on the table and spoke with a cold and ruthless expression.

"Guess who he is?"

The other person's face was also disfigured, but Ding Haowen couldn't tell.

He frowned, and although he was furious, he dared not vent his anger on the woman in front of him.

Lin Yuyao dared to manipulate so many noble young men and still managed to escape successfully, so she must have some skill.

Everyone assumed that Lin Yuyao had fled to another province or abroad.

Actually, no! Lin Yuyao has always been in Haicheng!

The most dangerous place is the safest place; Lin Yuyao understood this saying very well.

Therefore, upon learning that Ding Haowen had appeared in Haicheng, Lin Yuyao immediately had an idea.

Ding Haowen was unaware of the trouble that had befallen the Lin family in Haicheng, so upon arriving in Haicheng, he asked someone to contact Chen Jiahua...

Ding Haowen suddenly paused, and then suddenly remembered who the person he had initially contacted was.

When Ding Haowen came to his senses and looked at the man covered in wounds in front of him, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

"This person is... Chen Jiahua?"

Lin Yuyao smiled coldly and walked casually to Chen Jiahua.

"Yes! He betrayed me, deceived me, and that's why he ended up like this."

Ding Haowen felt his scalp tingle as he watched the delicate woman in front of him expressionlessly holding a red-hot iron and burning Chen Jiahua's body. He shuddered in fright.

Chen Jiahua let out a violent scream, but apart from the few people present, no one else could hear it.

Lin Yuyao saw that Ding Haowen was frightened, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

“Logically speaking, you were brought in by Chen Jiahua. You should have ended up like Chen Jiahua, but I know you are Chen Jiayi’s ex-husband and have a close relationship with Chen Jiahua, so I immediately changed my mind.”

Ding Haowen was a little confused, "Huh?"

Lin Yuyao put down the iron and glanced at Chen Jiahua expressionlessly.

Seeing that Chen Jiahua had fainted again, she said to Ding Haowen in an annoyed tone.

"You've known Chen Jiahua for so long, and you didn't even know that Chen Jiahua is the son of your ex-wife's adoptive parents?"

Upon hearing this news, Ding Haowen was stunned.

Ding Haowen and Chen Jiahua played together when they were young, but Chen Jiahua joined the army when he was a teenager.

How old was he at that time? My impression of Chen Jiahua is also based on when he was a teenager.

Later, Li Yuzhu mentioned that Chen Jiahua was her cousin. Ding Haowen saw that the other party was so rich and was from the village, just not at home all year round.

He didn't think much of it! Now he's being told that Chen Jiahua is actually his ex-wife's brother, his former brother-in-law?

Ding Haowen immediately felt deceived, not only by Li Yuzhu's deception but also by Chen Jiahua's manipulation!

So, they actually did it that day, right?

So Li Yuzhu lied to him, saying he was her cousin, and that was all a lie too, right?

Seeing that Ding Haowen was very angry, Lin Yuyao curled her lips and handed the iron in her hand to Ding Haowen.

"Use this to wake him up, and stop when he's fully awake."

Although Ding Haowen was filled with anger at being deceived, he regained some of his rationality when he got the branding iron.

He did not choose to use iron, but instead used salt water.

When salt water is poured onto a wound, it will cause a lot of pain.

Chen Jiahua had fainted, but was jolted awake by the pain.

Lin Yuyao slapped him blind in one eye, and he can barely see in the other.

Seeing a man standing in front of him, Chen Jiahua smiled weakly.

"Is this the new duck you found?"

Ding Haowen immediately felt humiliated. His face darkened, and he subconsciously wanted to curse Chen Jiahua.

Chen Jiahua used to be the one who always put pressure on him. Every time he took so much money, he was responsible not only for picking up the goods and running them, but also for delivering them.

Doing so much work, doing such dangerous work.

Although Ding Haowen received a considerable amount of money, it was far less than what Chen Jiahua pocketed.

Lin Yuyao's face grew increasingly gloomy as she watched Chen Jiahua being tortured for so long, yet still grinning.

She immediately answered Chen Jiahua's question through gritted teeth.

"Yeah! He's way better than you, you good-for-nothing!"

Ding Haowen: "...?"

Chen Jiahua smiled, seemingly unconcerned.

"oh."

Seeing Chen Jiahua's cold attitude, Lin Yuyao was furious.

She took a deep breath. "Ding Haowen, you can handle him. I'm going out now!"

Ding Haowen nodded quickly, "Yes, okay."

Upon hearing Ding Haowen's voice, Chen Jiahua chuckled softly in a hoarse voice.

"Oh, it's you, Ding Haowen."

Ding Haowen looked at Chen Jiahua with a complicated expression.

He was well aware that if Lin Yuyao treated Chen Jiahua this way today, and he continued to follow Lin Yuyao's lead, he would be the next one to suffer the same fate as Chen Jiahua.

Ding Haowen asked in a calm tone, "Are you and Li Yuzhu cousins ​​or not?"

Upon hearing this question, Chen Jiahua couldn't help but laugh.

"Ding Haowen, how could you be so foolish? If Li Yuzhu and I were really cousins, why would I only visit her every time I go?"

Ding Haowen also realized something was wrong, but he had no evidence.

Upon hearing this, his face immediately darkened.

"So, you did something that morning?"

Chen Jiahua chuckled softly in a hoarse voice.

"What are you trying to say? You married Chen Jiayi because of her looks, but then you complained that she was poor and boring, and started dating Li Yuzhu instead. I thought your relationship was so strong, but I can just snap my fingers and your wife will be treated like a dog..."
