After saying that, he reached out and snatched the towel, then started wiping himself with it.

Shen Heng showed no mercy to himself; wherever the towel touched, it left a layer of wrinkled skin.

The high concentration of seawater causes it to absorb moisture from the skin, resulting in the outermost layer peeling off. This is normal for Shen Heng, but Bai Jiaojiao was heartbroken.

Her man was wronged and suffered terribly; who could swallow such a humiliation?

"Weren't you going to tell me about what's happened these past few months? Why are you suddenly silent?"

Seeing Bai Jiaojiao pouting, Shen Heng tried to coax her into talking.

Bai Jiaojiao then told Shen Heng how Bai Shibao returned and about the rope factory.

Shen Heng said, "I've known for a long time that Li Lide is full of evil intentions, and he should have stepped down long ago. It's a good thing to rid the people of this scourge, Bai Jiaojiao."

"Why are you bringing me up again?"

Bai Jiaojiao really wanted to pour a bucket of water over Heng's head.

Shen Heng took off his pants and continued washing as if no one else was around. Bai Jiaojiao turned her head away when she saw this.

"Why are you being so polite? Just look, I'll show you."

Bai Jiaojiao: "......"

"He only resorted to his evil scheme because he saw I wasn't interested in bullying you. If you hadn't taken the lead in cooperating with the rope factory, Li Lide wouldn't have made such a big mistake. I'm sure you were right to rid the people of this scourge, weren't you?"

Bai Jiaojiao said, "If you insist on saying it this way, then it makes sense. Zhou Fukun is the same; neither of those in-laws will have an easy time."

Chen Heng dirtied two basins of water, and it wasn't until the third basin that the water became clearer.

His skin was slightly red, and after changing into clean thermal underwear, he felt much more comfortable.
