Chapter 47 Counterattack Against Sleep
Zhou's mother looked arrogant, crossed her arms, and demanded an explanation from Shang Wu.
Shang Wu picked up the file bag and took out several photos from inside.
The photo shows her going in and out of the police station to see Li Chengzhang. She is squatting at the door, crying and emotionally distraught, while Lu Rang holds an umbrella for her.
Fortunately, Lu Rang's face wasn't visible in the photo; it was only clear that he was a man.
She casually raised an eyebrow: "Madam called me over in the middle of the night just to ask this? Is there a problem with these photos?"
Zhou's mother laughed in exasperation, her voice filled with displeasure, "Who is this man? You seem to have a very close relationship with him, what's going on!"
Shang Wu raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Does him holding an umbrella for me mean we're close? In Madam's eyes, does every man who glances at me on the street mean he's exchanging flirtatious glances?"
"Don't try to deny it! You must tell me who this man is today, or I will tell Yan Ci."
Zhou's mother stood up, walked up to Shang Wu, and looked down at her, saying, "A woman from a poor family, only my son cherishes you like a treasure. What right do you have to be dishonest and betray your word after getting engaged?"
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes.
Who caused her downfall?
She responded to Zhou's mother with a cold face and a sharp gaze.
"You keep accusing me of betrayal, but you need evidence, Madam. If I were really having an affair, why would I be caught red-handed in front of the police station?"
Zhou's mother sneered, crossing her arms and saying, "That's because you're stupid, thinking no one will take pictures here."
Shang Wu turned around slowly and sat down: "When I went to see Li Chengzhang, the one who caused my brother to go to jail and sent someone to disfigure me, I was emotionally broken when I came out. It was this kind person who took pity on me and held an umbrella for me. In your mouth, you say that I am immoral and have an affair with other men?"
She took out her phone and slammed several photos onto the table.
"Since you think I'm not virtuous enough and not good enough for your son, then let's call off the engagement."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the living room was stunned.
Zhou's mother stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "You actually want to break off the engagement with my son?"
"Yes, rather than be suspected by you like this, I'd rather cut ties with the Zhou family cleanly and avoid being smeared again in the future."
Shang Wu called Zhou Yanci again, but couldn't get through and hung up. She called again.
"If anyone asks why, I will tell them everything Mrs. Zhou did to me tonight. I hope that Mrs. Zhou will still insist that there is something wrong with me and that there is something wrong with the photos. Please don't change your mind."
Shang Wu glanced at Madam Zhou's wary expression, hung up the phone, swiped through her contacts, and accurately found Zhou's father's phone number.
Don't let him hit him!
Zhou's mother lunged forward to snatch the phone.
Shang Wu dodged her hand, leaned against the sofa, and said with a half-smile, "What, such a big thing as announcing the engagement, aren't you going to inform Uncle Zhou?"
Zhou's mother's face turned ashen; she was so angry she couldn't speak.
Shang Wu smiled at her with a calm demeanor, her gaze sharp and unyielding.
After a long pause, Zhou's mother finally gave in and said awkwardly, "This photo is misleading and can easily cause misunderstandings. I misjudged you and suspected you because of your relationship with Yanci."
Shang Wu remained silent with a cold expression.
Zhou's mother had no choice but to save face by picking up the file bag and handing it to the housekeeper.
"Go away, throw away all this junk! I don't even know who in Chang'an District sent it, it was sent anonymously, speechless!"
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu paused for a moment.
Chang'an District.
That was the place Zhou Yanci provided for Chenmian.
Did Chenmian deliberately get the photos to the Zhou family?
Sleeping is sending people to follow her.
If she goes to Wanhu Lake tonight, will she be seen by the sleeping beings?
Shang Wu looked solemn and sat up.
After dealing with the seasonal rains, another thorny problem remains.
She's currently in a crucial phase of her revenge, and being watched is never a good thing.
Shang Wu glanced coldly at Zhou's mother: "Next time something like this happens, please make sure you find something substantial to use against me."
After saying that, she picked up her bag, turned around and left, which angered Zhou's mother, who made sarcastic remarks behind her, the voices carrying all the way to the gate.
Shang Wu got into the car, and as soon as he closed the door, he took out his phone and activated the listening system.
The president's office of Chengzhou Group was empty, which clearly indicated that Zhou Yanci was not in his office.
I can't get through on the phone, and he's neither at home nor at the office, so he can only be lying in bed.
Shang Wu took out her phone, logged into her alternate account, and contacted the paparazzi.
She had provided the paparazzi with reliable information twice before, and this time, late at night, the paparazzi quickly answered her voice call.
"Hey bro, why are you calling me? Is there some big news again?"
Shang Wu pinched her throat and deliberately changed her voice: "Apartment No. 08 in Chang'an District, Zhou Yanci is having a secret rendezvous with a woman there. Go take pictures and ask Zhou Yanci for money. You'll get it every time. Also, if Zhou Yanci asks you who hired you, just tell him the number 0226, understand?"
The paparazzi were stunned. They hadn't expected the other person to be a woman, and they were even more surprised that she could keep track of Zhou Yanci's whereabouts so well, yet she didn't go and take photos herself to ask for money.
He hesitated for two seconds, then his tone became noticeably more polite: "Sister, may I ask you something..."
"It's inconvenient. Do you even want to make money with me?" Shang Wu interrupted him.
The paparazzi sighed: "Okay, I'll do as you say, but what does 0226 mean?"
"No need to ask any more questions. You can make a lot of money tonight. If you go too late, everyone will be asleep. Go now."
Shang Wu hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
She leaned against the car, and she could still smell the faint scent of safflower oil.
Shang Wu opened the car window to let the smell dissipate, and the cold wind made her head much clearer.
She drove aimlessly to pass the time.
Meanwhile, the paparazzi rushed to their destination.
He carried his camera into the apartment complex and, sure enough, saw lights on on the second floor, with the silhouettes of a man and a woman projected onto the curtains.
Below is Zhou Yanci's Art Karman.
The paparazzo was overjoyed, secretly marveling that the woman who provided him with the information was practically his second mother, a living god of wealth... no, a god of wealth!
He took a few photos and immediately sent them to Zhou Yanci's email address.
Two hours later, the lights upstairs went out.
The screen of a mobile phone lit up in the room.
Zhou Yanci was about to go to sleep with Chenmian in his arms when he realized that Shang Wu had called him more than a dozen times and sent him a new email.
He frowned; this wasn't a good time to return the call, so he opened the email first.
Upon seeing the photo, Zhou Yanci's expression changed drastically. She pushed Chenmian away, sat up, put on her bathrobe, and hurriedly left.
Confused, Chenmian sat on the bed and rubbed her eyes: "Yanci, where are you going?"
"You go to sleep first, I need to take care of something."
Zhou Yanci closed the door and went downstairs, then dialed the phone number provided in the email.
"Mr. Zhou, I don't want much. Five hundred thousand for your reputation, isn't that a good deal?"
The paparazzi smiled nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Zhou Yanci's eyes: "Threatening me? You, a paparazzo, dare to threaten me?"
"Whether you dare or not, the photos are in my hands anyway. If Mr. Zhou really doesn't care about them being exposed, I can ask for nothing."
The paparazzi brazenly provoked Zhou Yanci, reminding her of the arrangements made by that Goddess of Wealth.
"Besides, this isn't the only time I've been watching you. The people behind me will keep providing me with clues. If you're not afraid of me haunting you, you don't have to pay."
Zhou Yanci gripped her phone tightly, a murderous glint in her eyes.
He narrowed his eyes: "I'll give you three million. Destroy the photos. Also, I want to buy information about the person behind you."
The paparazzi chuckled, "Mr. Zhou is a very straightforward person. Okay, but I can only reveal one clue. You'll have to find out for yourself who's behind me."
"Who exactly is he? Stop talking nonsense," Zhou Yanci urged coldly.
The paparazzi slowly uttered a few numbers: "0226".
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Zhou Yanci tightened her grip on her phone, staring thoughtfully upstairs.
At the same time, another phone call came in.
It's from Shangwu.
Zhou Yanci felt a slight tightness in her chest as she answered the phone.
Shang Wu's tone was filled with deep disappointment: "Come back to see me right away, I have something to tell you."
Zhou Yanci's face turned slightly pale, and she no longer possessed her usual composure.
He quickly changed his clothes and hurriedly left the house where he had been sleeping.
On the way, Zhou Yanci kept wondering if the paparazzi had come to Shang Wu to demand money.
No wonder there were so many phone calls last night.
He had prepared a complete explanation, returned to Shang Wu's residence, unlocked the apartment door, and went inside.
Shang Wu sat in front of the sofa, glanced at Zhou Yanci, and said in a cold voice: "Your mother came to see me today and said that I have an immoral private life."
She pushed the photos on the table towards her.
“This is a photo of me visiting Li Chengzhang at the police station. Someone passed by and saw me crying, so they held an umbrella for me, but she accused me of having affairs with men.”
Upon seeing the photo, Zhou Yanci breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that it wasn't her or Shen Mian's.
He sat down next to her and said, "Honey, don't be angry. You know my mom's personality; she's never been very understanding. I'll talk to her nicely tomorrow and stop her from acting so recklessly."
Shang Wu still frowned, her face full of displeasure: "Madam Zhou has never liked me, and I've tolerated it as much as I can, but she said I'm indecent, which is a very serious accusation."
She pushed Zhou Yanci away and moved back a bit: "Also, someone deliberately followed me and took photos. Don't you find that strange? Mrs. Zhou told me that these photos were sent to her anonymously by someone from Chang'an District."
Zhou Yanci paused abruptly, then asked repeatedly, "You just said the photos were sent from Chang'an District? Are you sure?"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Mrs. Zhou. Only she knows where she got the photos from."
Shang Wu turned her back to him, her expression turning colder.
Zhou Yanci's temples throbbed, and his face grew increasingly grim.
Chang'an District, 0226.
Okay, very good.
Zhou Yanci closed her eyes, trying her best to suppress her anger: "Awu, you've been wronged in this matter. I will handle it. Don't worry, from now on no one will follow or harass you anymore."
Shang Wu looked up: "Do you know who did it?"
"Yes, I know."
Zhou Yanci said irritably, "Don't worry about it, I'll handle this."
He finished speaking and left in a hurry.
Shang Wu finally relaxed, put away her aggrieved and angry expression, and picked up her phone.
The paparazzi sent an OK sign, indicating that the deal was done.
She slightly curved her red lips and went upstairs to take a shower.
The next day, Shang Wu drove directly to Chang'an District and rang the apartment doorbell.
The door opened quickly.
Chenmian's eyes were red and swollen, and her face was covered in tears. She looked like she was crying very hard.
The moment she saw Shang Wu, she flew into a rage and pounced on him, scratching his face.
"You did it! I'll fight you to the death!"
