Chapter 101 The Suffering Father Endured, Let That Scumbag Taste It Too
Zhou Yanci stared intently at Chen Mian, her eyes filled with barely suppressed vigilance and suspicion.
"What are you doing here? Who told you to come?! What are those bodyguards watching you doing?!"
Chenmian stared intently at him, her eyes sharp.
At this moment, she was filled with regret. When she saw Zhou Yanci's company thriving, she thought that if she returned to Zhou Yanci's side, she could become the president's wife and enjoy wealth and luxury at her fingertips.
Little did she know that there are no free lunches in this world.
She lacked Shang Wu's work skills, and after several instances of jealousy and rivalry, Zhou Yanci's interest in her clearly diminished.
Even if she could keep Zhou Yanci's attention by relying on her child, it wouldn't last long.
She should have realized long ago that winning a man's heart requires more than just old friendships and beauty; it also requires value in every aspect.
Just as Shang Wu said, the ability to be useful is the foundation for standing up in front of Zhou Yanci.
Unfortunately, everyone who has any value to Zhou Yanci suffers unimaginable harm after being used by him.
Chenmian slowly clenched her fists, walked up to Zhou Yanci, and told herself that as long as she helped Shang Wu accomplish this, she would be free.
Even if you're disfigured, at least you can save your life.
She stared intently at Zhou Yanci.
"Even if I abandoned you and left you back then, when I was with you, you still enjoyed my youth, my body and my beauty. Didn't you not lose out?"
Zhou paused, speaking briefly.
"Even though I've betrayed you, it's far from warranting disfigurement! Don't you feel disgusted by what you're doing to me?"
Zhou Yanci narrowed her eyes, remaining completely unmoved: "What exactly do you want to say? You betrayed me, and you still dare to come here openly and question me? Aren't you ridiculous?"
Chenmian smiled and nodded: "Yes, I really am ridiculous, because I misjudged people and actually came back to the country to find a scumbag like you again!"
She gave a cold laugh and pulled up a chair to sit in front of Zhou Yanci.
"Enough with the small talk, let's discuss a deal."
Zhou Yanci scoffed, looking at her as if she were a piece of trash that could be easily discarded.
"You think you're qualified to talk to me about a deal?"
“Yes, because of me.” Chen Mian raised an eyebrow. “Because I know many of your secrets, and because of these secrets, you would never dare to let Shang Wu know!”
Zhou Yanci's expression instantly became less relaxed.
He gritted his teeth and stared intently at Chenmian: "What exactly do you mean by that? Explain yourself."
Shenmian stared at him coldly and said, word by word, "You sent people to poison Shang Wu's father, causing him to suffer from multiple health problems. The medical staff and servants you specifically sent were all people who were indirectly monitoring him! You certainly don't want Shang Wu to know about this, do you?"
The sound was transmitted to Shang Wu via mobile phone call.
She gripped her phone tightly, staring silently at the call screen.
Zhou Yanci remained silent for a few seconds before letting out a cold laugh of disbelief.
"Now that things have come to this, you actually think of using this to threaten me?"
"So what?" Chenmian laughed, waving her phone in her hand.
“I’m recording right now. I can easily extract these recordings and tell Shang Wu. Don’t think that Shang Wu doesn’t care. She is the most filial and family-oriented person. You should know that better than anyone else, right?”
She asked, "The shady things you did to her, how you poisoned the merchants back then—if I told Shang Wu, can you imagine what the consequences would be?"
"You dare!" Zhou Yanci's voice suddenly rose eight octaves as he stared intently at Chen Mian, his eyes filled with murderous intent and fear.
He swallowed hard: "If you dare tell Chenmian, you're finished! I'll make sure you never leave this room!"
Chenmian remained expressionless, her expression terrifying: "Of course I believe you, but wouldn't the best course of action be to give me some money, let me leave here, and completely silence me? Also, I want to ask you for something."
Zhou Yanci stared intently at her: "Why do you think I'll listen to you and let you blackmail me? You're acting crazy right now, and nothing you say is credible."
Seeing that he quickly found a point to counterattack, Chenmian remained calm and composed.
"Given that Shang Wu's father's health is indeed as I said, he is deficient in certain substances, if Shang Wu takes her father for a checkup, she will know the whole truth."
After hearing this, Zhou Yanci fell silent for a moment.
Chenmian felt somewhat uncertain.
She swallowed hard, unconsciously clenching her fists: "My request is very simple. Give me some money. I know your car is under investigation and you urgently need to sell it. As long as you sell it directly and make sure the investigators can't find it, this money will fall into your hands. Give me ten million. I don't want much."
"Ten million isn't enough?" Zhou Yanci clenched her fists, deeply regretting not eliminating the dormant state yesterday, which allowed her to have the opportunity to escape and spread rumors.
He stared intently at Chen Mian, knowing that there was nothing more he could do.
There is no other choice but to appease Chen Mian first and then find a way to deal with her.
Zhou Yanci could only feign compromise and sneered, "Fine, then what's the second thing you want?"
Chenmian's eyes flickered: "I want to get my hands on that thing you used to poison Shang Wu's father."
"What do you need this for!" Zhou Yanci's tone suddenly turned cold and wary, full of suspicion.
Chenmian scoffed, "I'm not using it on you, why do you care so much? Anyway, I want it. If you don't give it to me, I'll have no choice but to tell Shang Wu what you did!"
After finishing speaking, Chenmian prepared to leave.
Seeing her dignified demeanor, Zhou Yanci gritted her teeth, unable to even contend with her anymore.
He said, word by word, "Okay, I'll give you the things. I'll call Xiao Dong right now and have him bring them over."
Outside, Xiao Dong was waiting quietly.
Upon hearing this, he quickly moved away. Just as Zhou Yanci called, his phone rang as well.
Xiao Dong answered the call, and Zhou Yanci delivered his direct and unambiguous command.
"Go to the third drawer in my study and find a packet of medicine powder inside. Give it to me within half an hour."
Xiao Dong hung up the phone and waved to the bodyguard.
The bodyguard followed his instructions and went to the study to find the medicine.
Chenmian remained seated calmly in her chair, watching Zhou Yanci.
Zhou Yanci stared intently at her.
At this moment, the two completely forgot their days and nights of pleasure, and only wished to kill each other.
Shang Wu leaned against the wall in the ward, gently rubbing her temples, closing her eyes and waiting for time to pass.
Less than half an hour later, the bodyguard hurriedly brought over the medicine powder.
Xiao Dong entered the ward and placed the medicine powder in front of Zhou Yanci.
Zhou Yanci raised his chin, gesturing for him to give it to Chenmian.
As soon as Xiao Dong turned around, he saw Chen Mian's face and gasped.
Even after a night apart, her sleeping face had already changed.
Every bloodstain on her face was almost turning into a scar; it was a truly gruesome sight.
For a moment, Xiao Dong didn't have the courage to take a step forward.
Chenmian glanced at him, snatched the powder away, stood up, and stared intently at Zhou Yanci.
"I'm waiting for you to transfer the money. You have no right to bargain with me. If you don't do as I say, I will immediately tell Shang Wu about all your shady dealings!"
After saying that, she opened the door and left without looking back.
Zhou Yanci gritted her teeth, staring coldly at the doorway, her gaze gradually becoming sharp.
Xiao Dong quickly closed the door and feigned concern: "President Zhou, what's going on? Why is she able to threaten you? Is there anything I can do?"
“Of course.” Zhou Yanci smiled coldly. “Go find someone to follow her. You know where Shang Wu’s parents used to live. Send Chen Mian to that village. Don’t let her take a single step out without my permission.”
Xiao Dong glanced at him and couldn't help but feel intimidated by the man's ruthless and merciless methods.
He nodded and turned to leave.
Chen Mian didn't leave the hospital at all. Instead, she went into the next room and placed the powdered medicine in front of Shang Wu.
Shang Wu handed over a bank card.
"You can take the money and leave now. Zhou Yanci is definitely eager to deal with you. The faster you leave and the farther you get away, the better."
Chenmian was somewhat surprised: "Actually, I thought that after I gave you the things, you wouldn't let me go. I didn't expect you to actually let me go and even let me go far away? Shang Wu, don't you want to see Zhou Yanci kill me at all?"
Seeing her incredulous expression, Shang Wu curled her lips into a smile.
“I am a person who has strong likes and dislikes. What you did to me was indeed disgusting, but you have already paid the same price. You are disfigured and can't be seen by others, and you have fallen out with Zhou Yanci. He will have a lot to deal with you. After I help you escape, whether you can live a free life depends on your fate.”
Chenmian took a deep breath: "He'll probably be going to jail soon, right?"
Shang Wu didn't answer: "Anyway, you helped me get this thing and revealed the secret from back then. I won't kill you. This is my reward for you. Now, get out."
Chenmian glanced at her deeply, and when he reached the door of the ward, he couldn't help but turn back and look at her solemnly.
"I wish you success in getting revenge, and please don't let him get away with it."
Shang Wu nodded.
Chenmian then withdrew her gaze and walked away quickly without looking back.
The ward door closed.
Shang Wu's gaze fell on the packet of medicine powder.
She picked it up, opened it, and saw the pale yellow powder inside. Her hands trembled as hatred surged within her.
After a long while, she closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. When she saw Xiao Dong come in, she handed him the medicine powder.
"Please hire a caregiver to take care of Zhou Yanci. Remember, she should take her medication with every meal."
He had to experience the suffering his father had gone through himself.
