Inside a hotel in Shanghai.
Dong Zeng was furious at the sight of the uninvited guest.
"Do you know how many eyes are watching us? How dare you come looking for us at this critical moment?" Dong Zeng looked at the woman in front of him, extremely angry.
Xu Youyou was no longer the spirited star she once was. Now she was emaciated, and her once youthful and beautiful face had lost all its collagen, becoming dull and sunken. Even her eyes had lost their former purity and innocence, filled only with malicious scheming and desperate madness: "You must help me."
"This is outrageous!"
What kind of people hasn't Dong Zeng seen when he was in the underworld? He's slashed arrogant women like Xu Youyou before, and the blood on his hands is more than the blood on Xu Youyou's body. Now, facing Xu Youyou's sharp words, he doesn't hold back at all and directly slaps her across the face.
Xu Youyou is now extremely thin and in very poor physical condition. She was slapped so hard by Dong Zeng that she fell to the ground on the red carpet in the hotel room and couldn't get up for a long time.
But Dong Zeng had no intention of letting her go. He grabbed her by the hair and lifted her off the ground, a ferocious smile on his face: "Now that you've escaped from the police, behave yourself. These are turbulent times. If you dare to mess with us, I'll throw you next door to sell as a prostitute."
Xu Youyou's face, mouth, and nose were covered in blood from being slapped, but she didn't show much pain. Instead, she gave Dong Zeng a provocative smile: "Brother Dong, you may not know, but I'm actually quite popular with Young Master Chen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had someone outside pay the exorbitant fine for me and get me exonerated."
Dong Zeng's pupils contracted slightly, then his expression finally darkened: "What do you have in your hand?"
"nothing."
Xu Youyou tilted her head back, looking coldly at Dong Zeng, slowly smoothing the hair on her cheek, and said calmly, "Just some small notebooks with numbers on them."
Dong Zeng immediately flew into a rage and threw Xu Youyou to the ground: "You fucking lied to me?"
"Think what you want," Xu Youyou said. "Give me 500 million and send me abroad."
"Five hundred million? Do you even deserve it?"
Dong Zeng laughed in exasperation.
"Hehe, my peak net worth was much more than this, but because of you all, I don't even have this much now." Xu Youyou laughed self-deprecatingly.
"What are you pretending for? You're a hypocrite, yet you still want to maintain a virtuous image?" Dong Zeng sneered. "I've seen plenty of women like you. You're always good at playing the weakling, but you insist on having others say what you want to say, and you make it sound like someone is forcing you to do what you want to do."
"Back then, your career was damaged because of your relationship scandal. You wanted to use Chen Cong's capital to climb back up, but in the end, it's like we forced you. You were the top salesperson for that medicine. What? You didn't take it yourself, but you sold it to your friends, or even deliberately sold it to your former competitors and people who offended you. Do you think we don't know your little schemes?"
Xu Youyou's face turned pale.
"And that time when you lost the stuff the first time you sold it, I heard that a drug addict escaped to your room and held you hostage. He got high and died suddenly. I guess the situation was that he found out you had that stuff, so he wanted to threaten and hold you hostage, but you deliberately lured him to eat that stuff and poisoned him to death, right?"
"It wasn't me!" Xu Youyou vehemently denied.
"That stuff is incredibly potent. That idiot dared to inhale it all, even after mixing and absorbing it? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Dong Zeng sneered: "Although I don't know how you tricked him, you just implied that this stuff could also be used as a painkiller in critical situations. It is said that he had a bone broken in his chest when someone kicked him, so he must have been in a lot of pain. When you 'kindly' reminded him, he naturally did it immediately."
"Tsk tsk, and afterwards you didn't do anything wrong, after all you just 'kindly' 'casually' 'concerned' reminded me." Dong Zeng said sarcastically.
Xu Youyou's expression twisted for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.
"I don't care what you think, I just want to get out of here."
Xu Youyou's tone was firm, and her attitude was indifferent.
"I heard that 'Silent Search' is about to be released. You don't want to let all your efforts go to waste at this time, do you?"
Dong Zeng took a deep breath, a flash of murderous intent crossing his eyes, but a smile appeared on his face: "Fine, fine, then just wait and see. I hope you're not lying to me."
"Hehe, I can wait. I just hope you won't be caught off guard at the last minute and wiped out in one fell swoop."
Xu Youyou stood up with a cold smile, carefully straightened her coat, then skillfully put on her hat and mask. She nodded slightly to Dong Zeng, maintaining her last bit of arrogance, and slowly walked out of the hotel room.
