Even when Shenmian saw Zhou Yanci standing in front of her, she didn't recognize her.
But she can.
Zhou Yanci acted out a deep affection for her for three years, but after she learned the truth, she felt increasingly terrified when she looked into those eyes.
Zhou Yanci's gentle, doting, or smiling gaze had probably woken her up from nightmares countless times.
On the rooftop, Shang Wu and Zhou Yanci stared at each other for less than a second before hatred began to surge from the depths of their souls.
That's an instinct from the inside out.
Shang Wu got into the car without looking back.
With her eyes closed, her mind raced as she gave instructions.
"Serve Chenmian well with good food and drink, so that she doesn't even have the strength to torment Zhou Yanci."
"The bodyguards who are locked up must be searched to prevent them from tipping off anyone."
"Also, I'm worried about you coming here every day."
The bodyguard captain smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Shang, don't worry. This time, Zhou Yanci has fallen into your hands and will never be able to escape again."
Shang Wu rubbed her temples.
She knew, of course, that Zhou Yanci couldn't escape.
But this person cannot go to prison unscathed.
She looked out at the lush greenery: "Tell Chenmian that if things go well, she'll have money and freedom; if not, she'll be sent to a mental hospital."
The bodyguard captain immediately agreed, impressed by Shang Wu's ruthless methods.
...
After I got back, I received messages and photos every day.
Every time the bodyguard captain took out his phone, he would remind Shang Wu.
"The photos are too gory, Mr. Shang, please take it easy."
Without exception, Shang Wu would reach out her hand and decisively say, "Give it to me."
Although she knew that Chenmian would not show any mercy and had anticipated what she would see, she was still shocked when she actually saw it.
On the first day, Zhou Yanci's face was scratched and disfigured, just like Shen Mian, and the sight was appalling.
The next day, Zhou Yanci was missing two fingers on each hand, namely her middle and index fingers, which she used the most.
On the third day, his face was swollen and his eyes were blackened and turned purple.
On the fourth day, he was hung from the roof beam, his clothes soaked in blood, his hands and feet hanging limply, half-dead.
Shang Wu spoke up: "Let Chenmian rest for two days, don't kill her."
On the sixth day, Zhou Yanci's tendons in his hands and feet were severed by Chen Mian.
After fainting several times, Shang Wu finally notified the police and went to the scene.
Everything is progressing smoothly.
Upon arriving at the scene, Chenmian pretended to be insane and wanted to kill Zhou Yanci, acting as a mentally unstable person.
The subdued bodyguards began to turn against them, claiming that Zhou Yanci had brought the people here and was hiding here to avoid trouble.
A few days ago, while they were sleeping, Chenmian tied them all up and tortured them, which led to their capture.
Shang Wu whispered a reminder: "Officer, Chen Mian is mentally unstable. He was tormented by Zhou Yanci, which caused him to develop bipolar disorder and mental illness, which is why he went crazy and sought revenge."
The officer nodded thoughtfully. "Then let's send him for an evaluation. Zhou Yanci is a criminal, but he also committed assault by using vigilante justice, which is a crime punishable by imprisonment. If he is mentally ill, then that's a different story."
Shang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and followed the police to escort Chen Mian away.
Zhou Yanci was taken to the emergency center.
That evening, Shang Wu received the news.
Zhou Yanci's life was saved, but because the tendons in her hands and feet were severed, two of her fingers were broken, and she suffered enormous physical and mental torment and damage, she has become a complete cripple and can barely walk.
Having obtained the answer she wanted, Shang Wu stood silently in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the company.
After a long while, she reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips.
It's finally completely over.
God gave her a desperate situation, forcing her to take up arms and fight for herself and her family.
Now that everything is over, the tightness in her chest that kept her from relaxing for even a moment can finally be released.
Shang Wu pushed open the office door and went out, her steps even lighter.
Before getting into the elevator, she tried calling Lu Rang.
The seven-day period has ended.
Is Lu Rang coming to see her tonight or tomorrow?
Unsurprisingly, the call was not answered.
But Shang Wu didn't care much.
Lu Rang always kept his word, and she trusted him.
However, when Shang Wu went downstairs to the company's main entrance, she was blocked by several police officers.
The group looked at her with complicated expressions.
“Miss Shang, you have been accused by the Zhou family of instructing Chenmian to feign mental illness and torture Zhou Yanci.”
One of them handed her several photos.
"Is this your bodyguard?"
Shang Wu took the photo and saw the bodyguard captain and two of his men standing in front of the dilapidated house.
The door was open, and inside, the slumbering spirit was torturing Zhou Yanci.
They remained unmoved, as if they had long been accustomed to it.
Shang Wu's breathing became slightly labored.
The first person I thought of was Acheng; he was the last to confess during his interrogation.
He was loyal to Zhou Yanci and managed to send a message to the Zhou family.
She had already asked the bodyguard captain to check the communication devices, but they still missed it.
She should have searched it herself if she had known.
Shang Wu's eyes darkened slightly. She composed herself and asked, "I will cooperate with the investigation. May I ask who provided the photos and made the accusations against me?"
The officer extended his hand: "This is Zhou Yanci's mother. Come with us for questioning."
Shang Wu pursed her lips, quickly regaining her composure: "Now? Is this considered detention?"
The officer shook his head: "It's just a routine questioning. We'll let you go first."
Shang Wu remained calm and turned to get into the car.
People in the company were talking about it and craning their necks to look.
"President Shang! What's going on?"
Ah Ying rushed over.
Shang Wu grabbed her hand: "Manage the company well, control the public opinion, I'll handle this myself. Don't tell the family, and..."
If Lu Rang shows up, tell him what happened.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Aying asked worriedly, "Will Attorney Lu have a solution?"
"I believe he does."
Shang Wu withdrew his hand.
With the windows rolled up, the two police cars drove toward the detention center.
Shang Wu nodded slightly to A Ying, leaving only a reassuring smile.
