Without waiting for A-Ying to say anything, she hung up the phone decisively.

The phone screen light went out.

Shang Wu's eyes never left her phone.

She tapped her fingertips lightly twice on the smooth glass screen, as if striking the enemy's heart.

The screen lit up again very quickly.

Shang Wu swiped down and precisely found a name in the contact list.

Tang Xueli.

Lu Rang stood by the bed, silently gazing at her.

Seeing that she was busy and showed no intention of eating, I simply picked up the bowl and scooped up some pork rib soup with a spoon.

He blew on it to cool it down and brought it to Shang Wu's lips.

Just as Shang Wu was about to make a call, she met Lu Rang's unwavering and steady gaze, and had no choice but to open her mouth and drink.

Lu Rang smiled slightly.

The call was answered very quickly.

A cheerful yet slightly worried voice came from the other end: "Awu, how are you? I was just about to call you to ask how things are going."

"I'm safe, just a minor leg injury." Shang Wu quickly got to the point. "Could you do me a favor?"

On the other end of the phone, Tang Xueli laughed, a hint of delight in her voice.

"Okay, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

Shang Wu spoke with unusual calm: "Last time you mentioned that you asked someone to buy some medicine to deal with your old man's unruly mistress. Do you still have that medicine? Have you used it all?"

There was an instant silence on the other end of the phone.

Tang Xueli remained silent for a few seconds, her voice extremely low, as if she were in a situation where it was inconvenient to speak directly.

"Of course, there are still some left. They're right here with me. What, you... want to use them?"

She asked the last two words with extreme caution, as if she couldn't imagine that Shang Wu would need these things.

Shang Wu responded softly, but before she could finish speaking, another spoon appeared at her lips.

Her gaze fell on Lu Rang.

Lu Rang brought the pork rib soup to her lips again, raising an eyebrow.

Shang Wu opened his mouth and said, "Yes, I need to deal with some people."

She said "some," not "one."

Tang Xueli gasped, realizing she had to do something very important and that couldn't go wrong. She immediately said, "I'll have my secretary send it to you. I guarantee it will be in your hands within half an hour."

Thanks.

Shang Wu hung up the phone.

Whether it's Chen Mian or Lu Wuwei, this time we'll deal with them all in one go.

Not one of them will escape!

Lu Rang, holding the soup bowl, simply sat on the edge of the bed, blew on the soup in the spoon to warm it, and then steadily handed it half an inch towards her.

"Let's have some soup, and we can talk about everything else later."

Shang Wu gave a helpless smile as Lu Rang fed her rib soup, and she was still pondering what to do tonight.

Tomorrow, she definitely doesn't want to go with Zhou Yanci to get the marriage certificate.

We must act tonight, and tonight is the only truly opportune time.

...

Soon, night fell.

The night was as thick as ink.

In the hospital ward, Zhou Yanci lay on the bed, her phone constantly lighting up in front of her.

He was upset and feeling unwell, which brought him an indescribable sense of irritability.

Just then, my phone started buzzing with notifications, like a barrage of alerts.

Zhou Yanci took a deep breath, barely managing to calm herself down, and grabbed her phone to take a look.

After reading it, his face turned cold.

The person who sent the text message was Chenmian.

The screen was filled with threatening words.

Zhou Yanci's eyes grew increasingly gloomy.

Each of the messages from the dormant one was short, but each word carried a hint of hysterical madness.

"Zhou Yanci, you're getting your marriage certificate with her tomorrow, aren't you? If you dare go, I'll jump off the top floor of the Chengzhou Building tomorrow!"

【I'm pregnant with your child, and now Shang Wu has ruined me like this. Don't you even give me an explanation or a proper status? Why am I just your mistress? Why did she later meet someone who became your wife?】

[You promised me you'd dump her, so why did you insist on marrying her! Couldn't you just take over the company from her and let her stay at the branch to make money for you? You're becoming increasingly indifferent to me!]

[You wait. Tonight at midnight, I'll be waiting for your answer. If you still don't agree to marry me, I really will jump!]

Upon seeing these text messages, Zhou Yanci's eyes turned icy cold, like knives.

"idiot!"

He squeezed out two words through gritted teeth, his fingertips flying across the screen, each word of his reply laced with impatience.

Behave yourself and don't cause me any trouble! You should know what you're doing now. After I take over the company, you'll receive every penny of the compensation you're owed. If you go crazy again, you'll face the consequences.

After sending the message, he slammed his phone face down on the desk, as if even glancing at the name was too dirty.

He tried to close his eyes to alleviate the nauseating physical reaction to the concussion.

Before he fell into a deep sleep, it was nothing more than an obsession he could never forget.

Now that he's back by his side, he's completely fed up with him.

To him, Sleep was nothing more than a troublesome ex-lover.

He simply didn't believe that someone as timid as Chenmian would truly be determined to die.

They were just using some underhanded tactics to force him to comply.

But when he's with someone, who he wants to be with, and who he wants to marry are not things that Shenmian can control.

Just as Zhou Yanci was thinking about all this, her phone rang again.

But this time it wasn't a text message notification sound.

It's the sound of an email being sent.

Zhou Yanci frowned, picked up her phone, and found an email containing a photo sent by Xiao Dong.

His movements suddenly stopped, his brows slowly furrowed, and his eyes gradually darkened, becoming sinister and cold.
