"What a lousy place."

Bai Ling walked out of the bathroom cursing, "The shampoo smells like cheap perfume too."

"Don't forget, you just smelled like mud a moment ago."

Ding Meng just couldn't stand Bai Ling and couldn't help but retort.

Bai Ling wanted to retort, but after seeing Ding Meng's appearance clearly, she shrank back.

She turned to look at Shen Beitang to see if she was also laughing at her, but saw that Shen Beitang didn't even look at her directly.

"Shen Beitang, laugh if you want to."

Shen Beitang put down his phone, tilted his head to look at the other person, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

"What's so funny about me? Are you a joke?"

After saying that, he continued looking at his daily work report on his phone, and also discussed with Ding Meng what to eat later.

More unbearable for Bai Ling than ridicule was this kind of ignoring.

"Shen Beitang, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? You'll definitely tell Gu Zhun about what happened today when you get back, so he'll look down on me too."

"Bai Ling, we can't choose our family of origin, but we can choose how we live our lives from now on."

"Sister Xiaotang, let's not waste our breath on her. We're all hungry."

Ding Meng pushed Shen Beitang out, and didn't forget to turn back and make a face at Bai Ling.

"Please feel free to use the hotel facilities and shower whenever you like. We're leaving now."

Bai Ling watched the other person leave, then kicked the chair that Shen Beitang had just been sitting on to the ground.

"Shen Beitang!"

It's this aloof attitude that makes others always revolve around her, even though she clearly doesn't care about anything.

No matter how well you dress or how rich a man you've found, it doesn't matter.

In her eyes, they were always just ants on the ground.

...

"I remember now!"

While eating, Ding Meng exclaimed, "Her uncle looks very familiar to me."

"You've seen it before?" Shen Beitang asked.

Ding Meng nodded affirmatively and pulled out a news article from six months ago.

"He's the one who led the villagers to cause trouble. This guy is good for nothing and even sold his own sister to an underground entertainment venue a few years ago."

I heard that he fell ill and died not long after he arrived. He even tried to take advantage of his niece, but she ran away.

Shen Beitang pondered, then this niece was none other than Bai Ling, who had come to his house.

Wow, what a small world.

"Now the people in the fishing village have elected Bai Li as their new leader, and he's become incredibly arrogant."

The fact that Ding Meng remembered it for so long suggests that she must have suffered quite a bit at Bai Li's hands.

But this also gave Shen Beitang a breakthrough point: the people in the fishing village were a motley crew.

If their core leader is removed, they will fall apart.

"I have an idea."

"What method?"

Shen Beitang's words made Ding Meng extremely happy, as the fishing village was a thorn in the side of the siblings.

"Bai Ling, Bai Ling is our breakthrough point."

Shen Beitang made a phone call and summoned Bai Ling over.

When Bai Ling arrived, she had changed her appearance, wearing all new clothes.

She adjusted her newly styled hair. "What do you need me for? The hairdressers in Jincheng are no good; they're not as good as those in Anshi."

Shen Beitang gestured for her to sit down first and got straight to the point.

"I can guarantee that Bai Li will never bother you again."

"What?"

Bai Ling was stunned, but quickly recovered and angrily slammed her bag on the table.

"So you called me here just to humiliate me with Bailey?"

She knew Shen Beitang wouldn't be so kind; she hadn't ridiculed him enough earlier.

He's still bringing up that disgusting jerk in front of me.

"Are you deaf? Sister Xiaotang said she'd help you get rid of your disgusting family."

Ding Meng couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up in rebuttal.

Bai Ling finally calmed down, because she felt disgusted whenever Bai Li was mentioned.

Therefore, as long as she can get rid of Bai Li, she is willing to cooperate even if the other party is Shen Beitang.

What's your idea?

"You don't need to know what method I use, but you have to do one thing for me."

Bai Ling snorted coldly; she knew Shen Beitang wouldn't be so kind as to help her.

"Speak, what is it?"

As long as I can get rid of the burden of the fishing village, I can do whatever I want in the future.

Shen Beitang told Bai Ling about his plan, which was actually very simple, but Bai Ling's reaction was unexpectedly strong.

"What! You want me to go get Bailey's things!"

She knew Shen Beitang had ill intentions; Shen Beitang had seen how Bai Li had treated her.

Moreover, she finally escaped that hellhole, and now it's impossible for her to go back alone.

"Shen Beitang, you just want to see me go back and be tortured by Bai Li, don't you?"

Just as Bai Ling was about to stand up and splash tea all over Chen Beitang's face, two burly men forced her back into a chair.

"Why are you so agitated? Who said you could go alone? These two bodyguards are enough for you."

"Once it's done, you can leave forever. Don't you want that?"

Shen Beitang offered his utmost sincerity, saying, "Just give me the things."

Bai Ling bit her lip, her eyes filled with struggle, but in the end she gritted her teeth.

"Okay, I agree. I'll let you know when it's done."

...

Although Ding Meng had only met Bai Ling once, she was a shrewd person since childhood and could tell at a glance that Bai Ling was not a good person.

"Sister Xiaotang, do you really believe her?"

"When people are in trouble, they will always grab onto a straw, and I am her straw now."

Shen Beitang spoke with great certainty, while Bai Ling seemed like someone who had been drowning for a long time.

Giving her a lifebuoy wouldn't have helped at all, because she was still in the water.

Only when all the water in the pond is drained can a drowning person be truly saved.

...

"By the way, you said Bai Ling's mother was sold to an underground place. Can you take me there?"

Shen Beitang always felt that there was something strange about the family reunion five years ago.

Shen Wei has always loved Zhou Man and brings her fresh flowers every day.

Zhou Man suffered severe bleeding during her childbirth.

Shen Wei was so heartbroken that he blamed himself and cried every day, and even ignored Shen Beitang until she was one year old.

They felt that she was the culprit who caused Zhou Man to suffer.

Shen Beitang couldn't believe that Shen Wei, a man like him, would have a child with another woman a year after Zhou Man gave birth.

Moreover, when Bai Ling was trying to reunite with her relatives, all she had was a wallet that Shen Wei had lost during a business trip to Jincheng years ago.

...

Ding Meng was ashamed; Xiao Tang really went wherever there was danger today.

"Sister Xiaotang, how about we go somewhere else to play?"

"Mengmeng, I know that place is dangerous, but there's something I need to confirm."

Shen Beitang called over the bodyguards, "Have them take you back first, I'll come back after I've investigated the matter."

Ding Meng shook her head helplessly, "Forget it, I'll go with you."

If Shen Beitang were to go to the underground city alone, he would probably be killed by his own brother.

Finally, Gu was going to whip his corpse...
