Chapter 119 The Scumbag's Identity is Exposed, Luring the Enemy into the Trap
"President Shang, why haven't you fired them yet? They're people who somehow infiltrated our ranks; it's better to deal with them sooner rather than later."
Aying followed Shang Wu into the office, not quite understanding her thoughts.
Shang Wu smiled and said, "I have my reasons. Call the bodyguard captain in. I have a few words to say to him in private."
Aying was confused and went out to call for help.
The bodyguard captain stayed inside for fifteen minutes, then came out and left as if nothing had happened.
Soon, a group of people gathered downstairs at the company.
Zhou Yanci and Acheng exchanged a glance, then looked at the four bodyguards beside them, their eyes wary.
The captain came out, walked up to them, and said with a smile, "We just received an urgent mission; we need to escort President Shang to a certain place."
"You guys are lucky. Your names were drawn in the lottery. Your chance to shine has come. The prize money is five thousand yuan."
The other four people were all excited when they heard this.
Only Zhou Yanci showed no smile, and couldn't help but take a step forward, a muffled sound emanating from beneath her mask.
"What urgent mission? Is it dangerous?"
The captain gave him a deep look and solemnly waved his hand: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. We just need to carry out the mission according to President Shang's instructions."
Zhou Yanci frowned and could only keep quiet.
Soon, Shang Wu came out of the company's main gate.
The bodyguard captain opened the door for him.
The car window was half open.
Zhou Yanci couldn't help but look over.
Shang Wu sat in the back seat, rubbing her temples, closing her eyes to rest and wait for departure.
She leaned against the leather seat, her delicate collarbone exposed at the neckline, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow under her eyes, her red lips slightly pursed, exuding a sense of oppressive power and a hint of fierce competition, while her eyes and brows were stunningly beautiful.
Once, this was the woman who followed him wholeheartedly.
Now, their identities are worlds apart.
Acheng didn't stop him from wanting to have Shangwu, but his words revealed a few words: wishful thinking.
Yes, given the current situation, it's better to flee for your life; staying here is simply wishful thinking.
But looking at Shang Wu's radiant and beautiful appearance... how could he bear to let her go?
Zhou Yanci felt his mouth go dry and swallowed hard. He then involuntarily took a step forward.
Ah Cheng, standing beside him, blocked his way: "Where are you going?"
Zhou Yanci suddenly came to his senses and realized that he was not even qualified to drive for Shang Wu.
He clenched his fists, watched the bodyguard captain drive Shang Wu ahead to clear the way, gritted his teeth, turned around and followed the others into the white van behind.
The car wasn't heading towards the city center; it was getting further and further away, and it looked like it was going into the mountains.
Zhou Yanci frowned, puzzled.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Are there any guesthouses or scenic spots nearby?"
Several bodyguards were chatting idly.
"This is outside the city, in a very remote area. How could it be a scenic spot? Besides, the scenery isn't good, and the road is extremely difficult to travel."
"That's right, where is Mr. Shang taking us?"
"They're not going to take us to some remote mountain village to eat kidneys, are they?!"
"Hahahaha, get lost! I heard that the scumbag who harmed her whole family has fled to avoid punishment. She probably knows where he is, so she brought us here specifically to arrest him."
Zhou Yanci kept her head down and didn't reply. Upon hearing this, she clenched her fists.
In the car in front.
Shang Wu glanced at the time on her phone.
How much longer?
The bodyguard captain replied, "It should take another hour. This place is very remote. Mr. Shang, if you're tired, you can take a nap."
"I can't sleep."
Shang Wu looked outside.
All I could see were wild grasses brushing past the car window, almost taller than the car itself.
Shang Wu's eyes were full of sarcasm: "Locking people in a place like this, how could he even think of it? No wonder he was so confident that the person couldn't escape."
The bodyguard captain didn't dare to say a word.
He simply followed the navigation and walked forward. Although he knew what Shang Wu was going to do next, he didn't know who they were going to meet.
Who would live in such a desolate place?
The car continued to bump along for a long time before finally stopping in a small village.
Before Shang Wu even got out of the car, she saw two men in plain clothes squatting on the ground smoking. They looked rather unserious and seemed to be chatting about something, not even noticing the two cars that were coming from behind.
The bodyguard captain narrowed his eyes, his gaze resolute, and picked up the walkie-talkie, saying, "Take care of them."
At his command, the bodyguards in the van behind rushed over.
Before either of them could react, they were pinned to the ground.
Zhou Yanci stood on the outermost edge, unable to intervene, unaware of the situation, and unable to see what the person being firmly pinned to the ground looked like.
Shang Wu got off the bus.
The bodyguard captain placed the flat shoes in front of her.
The muddy roads in this village are difficult to walk on in high heels.
Shang Wu changed her shoes and stepped out of the crowd: "Make way, let me see."
The group retreated to both sides.
The two men who were being held down looked up and were stunned when they saw Shang Wu.
Zhou Yanci and Acheng were also stunned.
Zhou Yanci frowned in disbelief.
Isn't this the place where he had people guard his slumber?
He simply sent someone to bring Chenmian here; he didn't know her exact location, nor had he found her on the way here.
Zhou Yanci subconsciously looked up at Shang Wu.
Shang Wu stared intently at the two of them, then reached out and grabbed one of them by the chin, forcing the other to raise their hand.
She curled her red lips into a smile: "Where is Zhou Yanci?"
The man shook his head in fright: "I don't know. He... he just told us to keep watch here. We haven't heard from him in a long time, and we haven't seen him."
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes: "Where is Chen Mian?"
Another person said, "Locked inside."
The bodyguard captain immediately looked at Zhou Yanci.
"Go and confirm it."
Of all these people, Zhou Yanci was specifically asked to go and confirm.
The group looked at Zhou Yanci with curiosity, feeling both unhappy and a little jealous that he had gotten a chance to perform in front of President Shang.
Zhou Yanci stiffened slightly, and it took her two seconds to lift her foot and walk over.
He went to the door, took the key hanging next to him, and opened the door.
Even during the day, the house is very damp and dark, and when you open the door, you are hit with a musty smell.
Zhou Yanci could smell it even through her mask. After her eyes adjusted to the light inside, she finally saw a bed facing the door.
On the bed, Chenmian lay on her side with her back to the door, wearing a gray cotton and linen dress. It was unclear whether this was her natural color or if it was filthy.
Hearing someone push the door open and come in from behind, she said calmly, "It's not time to deliver food yet, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Yanci's breath hitched.
"Are you thinking about women again?"
Chenmian snorted coldly, sat up, and finally turned to face Zhou Yanci.
In just one week, she had been tortured beyond recognition.
She had lost a lot of weight, her hair was dry and dull, her face was haggard and sallow, and the scabbed scars were dark red, tangled on her face like tree roots without nutrients.
Chenmian stood up abruptly, without even glancing at Zhou Yanci, and took off her wide long dress.
Zhou Yanci's pupils constricted.
Shen Mian frowned and looked up at him: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up! Remember to give me an extra steamed bun when you're done, I'm starving." She didn't recognize Zhou Yanci.
Zhou Yanci's eyes widened in shock and fear. He didn't dare to meet Shen Mian's gaze for even a second. When he turned away, his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton. After a long while, he lowered his voice and said, "There's a woman in the house. Everything is safe."
Chenmian was stunned for a moment, then immediately walked to the door. The moment she saw Shang Wu, she stopped abruptly.
Shang Wu pursed her lips, staring at her inhuman and ghostly appearance, and couldn't help but step closer.
She had just heard what Chenmian said, and it was hard to imagine the inhuman torture she was suffering here.
Seeing Chenmian's barely clothed state, Shangwu felt a pang of unease in her heart.
As a woman herself, she couldn't bear to watch this scene and coldly ordered, "Turn around, everyone! Don't look!"
As if waking from a dream, everyone turned their backs.
Zhou Yanci stood inside, motionless.
Shang Wu rummaged through the trunk and found a long coat, then draped it over Chen Mian's shoulders and buttoned it up.
She was so thin that she could barely keep her head up at the shoulders.
She didn't pull him away, but just numbly pursed her lips.
Shang Wu's eyes trembled slightly as she looked at her stunned expression, feeling an indescribable sense of oppression and suffocation in her heart.
She took a deep breath: "Chenmian, are you alright?"
Chenmian stared intently at her. "Where's Zhou Yanci? That beast, did you catch him?"
Shang Wu looked past her and at the person standing in the room, saying slowly and deliberately, "I've caught him. If you want revenge, I'll let you do whatever you want with me."
"Really?" A strange light suddenly flashed in his slumbering eyes.
Zhou Yanci swallowed hard, her legs stiffening and going numb uncontrollably.
He didn't know if Shang Wu was trying to comfort Chen Mian or if she had truly found his trail and was about to discover his identity.
Shang Wu said calmly, "Of course. Tell me, do you want to do something to him to vent your anger? As long as you don't kill him, you can do whatever you want."
Before she could finish speaking, Chenmian nodded vigorously without hesitation: "Of course, I couldn't be happier! He hurt me like this, locking me up and only giving me one meal a day. These bodyguards, with no one to control them, resorted to violence against me. Now they're not even giving me food; I have to serve them to get a single steamed bun! Tell me, how could I not take revenge!"
She gritted her teeth fiercely and took a step back like a ghost.
"If I hadn't been holding onto my pride, either to get revenge on Zhou Yanci or to find out he was in jail, I wouldn't be alive today!"
Shang Wu quietly looked at her distressed and disheveled appearance, and thought of Ji Yu.
Ji Yu is now in prison and has come forward to expose more of Zhou Yanci's deeds.
She had experienced the same thing before.
These bodyguards who follow Zhou Yanci are ruthless and capable of anything. They treated Ji Yu like this last time, and now they've even ruined the woman Zhou Yanci once loved...
"good."
Shang Wu closed her eyes briefly to compose herself.
She looked up, her gaze fixed directly and coldly on the person inside the room.
"Men, tie Zhou Yanci up."
