After finishing speaking, Chenmian prepared to leave.

Seeing her dignified demeanor, Zhou Yanci gritted her teeth, unable to even contend with her anymore.

He said, word by word, "Okay, I'll give you the things. I'll call Xiao Dong right now and have him bring them over."

Outside, Xiao Dong was waiting quietly.

Upon hearing this, he quickly moved away. Just as Zhou Yanci called, his phone rang as well.

Xiao Dong answered the call, and Zhou Yanci delivered his direct and unambiguous command.

"Go to the third drawer in my study and find a packet of medicine powder inside. Give it to me within half an hour."

Xiao Dong hung up the phone and waved to the bodyguard.

The bodyguard followed his instructions and went to the study to find the medicine.

Chenmian remained seated calmly in her chair, watching Zhou Yanci.

Zhou Yanci stared intently at her.

At this moment, the two completely forgot their days and nights of pleasure, and only wished to kill each other.

Shang Wu leaned against the wall in the ward, gently rubbing her temples, closing her eyes and waiting for the time to pass.

Less than half an hour later, the bodyguard hurriedly brought over the medicine powder.

Xiao Dong entered the ward and placed the medicine powder in front of Zhou Yanci.

Zhou Yanci raised his chin, gesturing for him to give it to Chenmian.

As soon as Xiao Dong turned around, he saw Chen Mian's face and gasped.

Even after a night apart, her sleeping face had already changed.

Every bloodstain on her face was almost turning into a scar; it was a truly gruesome sight.

For a moment, Xiao Dong didn't have the courage to take a step forward.

Chenmian glanced at him, snatched the powder away, stood up, and stared intently at Zhou Yanci.

"I'm waiting for you to transfer the money. You have no right to bargain with me. If you don't do as I say, I will immediately tell Shang Wu about all your shady dealings!"

After saying that, she opened the door and left without looking back.

Zhou Yanci gritted her teeth, staring coldly at the doorway, her gaze gradually becoming sharp.

Xiao Dong quickly closed the door and feigned concern: "President Zhou, what's going on? Why is she able to threaten you? Is there anything I can do?"

“Of course.” Zhou Yanci smiled coldly. “Go find someone to follow her. You know where Shang Wu’s parents used to live. Send Chen Mian to that village. Don’t let her take a single step out without my permission.”

Xiao Dong glanced at him and couldn't help but feel intimidated by the man's ruthless and merciless methods.

He nodded and turned to leave.

Chen Mian didn't leave the hospital at all. Instead, she went into the next room and placed the powdered medicine in front of Shang Wu.

Shang Wu handed over a bank card.

"You can take the money and leave now. Zhou Yanci is definitely eager to deal with you. The faster you leave and the farther you get away, the better."

Chenmian was somewhat surprised: "Actually, I thought that after I gave you the things, you wouldn't let me go. I didn't expect you to actually let me go and even let me go far away? Shang Wu, don't you want to see Zhou Yanci kill me at all?"

Seeing her incredulous expression, Shang Wu curled her lips into a smile.

“I am a person who has strong likes and dislikes. What you did to me was indeed disgusting, but you have already paid the same price. You are disfigured and can't be seen by others, and you have fallen out with Zhou Yanci. He will have a lot to deal with you. After I help you escape, whether you can live a free life depends on your fate.”

Chenmian took a deep breath: "He'll probably be going to jail soon, right?"

Shang Wu didn't answer: "Anyway, you helped me get this thing and revealed the secret from back then. I won't kill you. This is my reward for you. Now, get out."

Chenmian glanced at her deeply, and when he reached the door of the ward, he couldn't help but turn back and look at her solemnly.

"I wish you success in getting revenge, and please don't let him get away with it."

Shang Wu nodded.

Chenmian then withdrew her gaze and walked away quickly without looking back.

The ward door closed.

Shang Wu's gaze fell on the packet of medicine powder.

She picked it up, opened it, and saw the pale yellow powder inside. Her hands trembled as hatred surged within her.

After a long while, she closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. When she saw Xiao Dong come in, she handed him the medicine powder.

"Please hire a caregiver to take care of Zhou Yanci. Remember, she should take her medication with every meal."

He had to experience the suffering his father had gone through himself.
