Before handing Sheng Lun over to Gao Sen, Shen Wangshu decided to meet with Sheng Lun.

Of course, she didn't meet Sheng Lun; she just sat in one room and watched the man in another room, who was like a frightened bird.

The fair-skinned and dashing young nobleman was nowhere to be seen. Shen Wangshu only saw a pitiful man who was thin and emaciated. His body was covered in bruises, and his expensive clothes had been stripped off. He was only wearing a tank top with holes all over it.

He huddled fearfully in the corner, clearly having suffered quite a bit; a large handprint remained on his face, and he looked at the smiling, amiable middle-aged man standing in front of him with terrified eyes. There were also several marks on his back where he had been bound with rope. Shen Wangshu glanced at him, then turned away indifferently.

Across from the middle-aged man, Gao Sen stood with a tense face, seemingly lost in thought.

"Brother-in-law!" The Sheng family was ruthless, but the brother-in-law still had a conscience, and Sheng Lun immediately felt as if he had grasped a lifeline.

"Help me!" He was beaten again today, and he felt excruciating pain in his internal organs.

These shameless villains harm others without ever causing any visible external injuries. They strike people with a very strange force, causing excruciating internal pain.

Sheng Lun's repeated escapes over the past few months have angered these people, who beat him every day around mealtimes, nearly killing him.

He wanted to escape because he was afraid of being beaten to death at the dock.

This filthy dock, full of laborers, is not only squalid and exhausting, but also contains even more terrifying places.

This place is inhabited by poor people, many of whom are unkempt men who can't find wives. In their eyes, Sheng Lun, with his fair skin and delicate features, is almost like a young woman. As a result, many people have been looking at him with horrifying eyes these past few days. Every now and then, someone would jokingly take advantage of Sheng Lun's inability to resist and grope him.

Young Master Sheng was terrified, fearing he had been harmed, and dared not sleep soundly at night.

He was already like a frightened bird, his nerves stretched to the limit.

"Alan!" Gao Sen's eyes flickered when he saw Sheng Lun's terrified expression.

He's not a saint, so saving people is certainly beneficial. Although Sheng Lun has been kicked out of his home, Gao Sen doesn't care.

It is common to see wealthy children from poor families being kicked out of their homes for various reasons. However, as long as they have suffered enough and shown remorse, they will soon be forgiven and reinstated by their families.

Sheng Lun is the only son in the Sheng family. In Gao Sen's eyes, daughters are useless and can only get married. Sons are the foundation of the family.

Without Sheng Lun, would the Sheng family's vast fortune really be allowed to fall into the hands of an outsider like his son-in-law? Gao Sen had once coveted the Sheng family's assets, but unfortunately, Sheng's father was extremely shrewd, and Sheng Jia was no pushover either, being shrewd to the extreme. He was afraid of causing conflict between the couple, so he had to regretfully give up.

Now that Sheng Lun is in trouble, it's a perfect opportunity for Gao Sen.

With this favor, and Sheng Lun's naivety, won't he, as the son-in-law, be in charge of the Sheng family in the future?

"Don't be afraid, we'll be home soon." Squinting at the vast Sheng family fortune, Gao Sen's handsome face revealed a hint of gloom.

No one dislikes having more wealth, and if possible, he would certainly prefer to have more assets. He had been busy with work lately, and also had been infatuated with Chu Xiangyun every night, resulting in dark circles under his eyes. After a pause, he asked the still smiling middle-aged man, "How much does Alan owe you? I'll pay him back." As he spoke, he generously pulled out a check, ready to pay for Alan's release.

Of course, he never mentioned why it took him months to come and redeem Sheng Lun after he called several times.

Mr. Gao should also investigate whether there are any traps involved!

"Three million," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

Gao Sen's hand, which was signing the check, stopped.

"How much?" Do you think he's a sucker?!

Three million.

"Nonsense! I only owe 300,000!" Sheng Lun was furious that this middle-aged man dared to spout such nonsense in front of him.

"We're not running a charity," the middle-aged man said unmoved, not caring that being scolded wouldn't hurt him, and continued to smile.

This was clearly extortion, but Gao Sen didn't have time to argue with him. He could only pinch the corner of his eye with a headache and silently sign a check for three million. He saw the middle-aged man look at the check up and down and examine it under the light for a long time before accepting the check, letting Sheng Lun go, and telling him to get out of Gao Sen's sight.

Sheng Lun hadn't bathed in ages, and it was unclear where he'd rolled around in a stinking ditch. He reeked of a pungent, sour, rotten smell, almost making Gao Sen vomit. After feeling nauseous for a while, Gao Sen finally looked at Sheng Lun, who was clutching his suit pants with his dirty hands and crying, and said with a headache, "Shall we go?"

Poor thing, his crisp suit trousers were tragically destroyed.

He seemed to be a god who rescued Young Master Sheng from the mire, so of course whatever he said went. Sheng Lun nodded vigorously with tears in his eyes, looking completely obedient.

The two drove away together.

Gao Sen originally wanted to arrange for Sheng Lun to stay in his villa, but considering that Chu Xiangyun also lived there, he was worried about leaving the two of them alone together. Although Gao Sen trusted Chu Xiangyun's love for him, he didn't quite trust Sheng Lun and was unwilling to work hard in his career only to be cheated on. Therefore, after discussing it with Sheng Lun, he arranged for him to stay in one of his nicely furnished apartments.

Sheng Lun was so frightened by this ordeal that he was too afraid to see anyone and only believed that Gao Sen had good intentions towards him.
