"Heh!" Shen Lang didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. He originally thought that Zhuge Jing only had evidence of the transaction between Scorpion and Lü Weidong, but he didn't expect that digging up a radish would bring up the mud. This Zhuge Jing actually got hold of Lü Weidong's casino, bank, and money laundering channels.
Shen Lang looked at Zhuge Jing curiously and asked, "How did you get your hands on the other evidence?"
Zhuge Jing calmly said, "The reason I joined Scorpion's gang was to collect evidence against Lü Weidong."
"Oh? Do you have a grudge against him?" Shen Lang asked.
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, Zhuge Jing's originally calm expression became somewhat complicated, and her eyes were filled with hatred. She gritted her teeth fiercely and said, "I have an irreconcilable hatred for him."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lang quickly checked Zhuge Jing's information.
Client: Zhuge Jing
Identity: The eldest daughter of the Wuhou family, who has not yet been formally recognized as a member of the clan.
Inner desire: to avenge my parents
Synopsis: Zhuge Jing's father, Zhuge Ying, was the previous young master of the Zhuge Wuhou family of Qishan. After falling in love with Zhuge Jing's mother, Zhang Xiaotian, he left home due to his dissatisfaction with the political marriage arranged by his family. A year later, he and Zhang Xiaotian had their daughter, Zhuge Jing. Twenty years ago, Lü Weidong's son, Lü Kun, drunkenly sped through traffic and killed Zhuge Jing's mother, Zhang Xiaotian. Knowing that Lü Weidong was powerful and that he was no match for him, Zhuge Ying returned to the Zhuge family hoping to use their influence to bring down Lü Weidong and avenge his deceased wife. However, the Zhuge family also feared Lü Weidong's power and refused Zhuge Ying's request, expelling both Zhuge Ying and Zhuge Jing from the family.
Rejected by his family, Zhuge Ying sent his daughter, Zhuge Jing, to a boarding school and saved enough money to support her through university. He then embarked on a path of revenge. However, he was killed on the spot by a martial arts master working for Lü Weidong, and even in death, he did not harm Lü Weidong.
Zhuge Jing grew up burdened by hatred. After graduating from university at the age of eighteen, she returned to S Province and meticulously planned a chance encounter with Scorpion, joining his gang. She then secretly gathered evidence, hoping to bring down Lü Weidong and avenge her parents.
After reading Zhuge Jing's profile, Shen Lang sighed inwardly. In S Province, many families were destroyed because of Lü Weidong; Zhuge Jing was just one of them. At the same time, he felt a pang of sympathy for Zhuge Jing, because his parents had also died in a car accident. Unlike Zhuge Jing, the perpetrators received their due punishment, and Shen Lang himself received compensation.
Shen Lang then turned on his computer, connected the hard drive, and checked its contents. The hard drive contained not only audio recordings but also video recordings.
After getting what he wanted, Shen Lang said to Zhuge Jing, "Pack your things and come with me. It's not safe here."
After learning about Zhuge Jing's ordeal, he felt a surge of protectiveness towards this woman who was a few years older than him.
"Where are you taking me?" Zhuge Jing asked warily.
"Come to my house, pack your things, and I'll be waiting for you at the door in ten minutes." After saying that, Shen Lang handed the computer and hard drive to Dong Xue and walked outside.
Dongxue was unaware of Zhuge Jing's ordeal and therefore didn't understand why Shen Lang had brought her home. However, she didn't question it; she was simply curious.
While she was racking her brains trying to figure it out, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhuge Jing's bed out of the corner of her eye and suddenly thought of something: "Does the young master like this type?"
Back in the office, Tan Bing was still at get off work because of Shen Lang, and Xia Bingyan was also watching the surveillance footage.
After handing the general affairs card to Tan Bing, he sincerely thanked Tan Bing: "Thank you so much, Manager Tan, for your help today."
Tan Bing put away the general affairs card and said with a smile, "If President Shen finds it troublesome, you can treat me to a meal! I'm always available."
Shen Lang touched his nose and said, "Then let's go tonight. I'm going out to dinner with President Han later, and I'll take you with me."
Tan Bing pouted: "So I was just a burden."
"Haha, how could that be?" Shen Lang laughed it off.
"Alright, I'll give you face today." Tan Bing raised her head slightly, feigning arrogance.
Then Shen Lang instructed Xia Bingyan, "You drive Zhuge Jing home first, and the two of you can sleep in the same room for now."
Villa No. 1 only has a few rooms, and it's definitely not enough to accommodate one person per room. Shen Lang is considering whether to expand Villa No. 1 by leveling the entire top of Qingyun Mountain and rebuilding it.
"Yes, Mr. Shen," Xia Bingyan replied happily. She unconditionally obeyed and executed all of Shen Lang's decisions. Besides, she was originally the last to join, and now with Zhuge Jing as a newcomer, she wouldn't be the youngest anymore.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Starry Sky Hotel, Zhuge Jing, carrying her suitcase, and Dong Xue were already waiting by the car.
When Tan Bing saw Zhuge Jing, she glanced at Shen Lang with her beautiful eyes and said resentfully, "President Shen, you've managed to steal away one of my biggest clients."
"Then how about I let Ge Qingqing continue to live here with you?" Shen Lang said with a faint smile.
"No." Tan Bing reached out, opened the door of her Ferrari, and jumped inside.
They then followed Xia Bingyan's car all the way to Baiyun Manor.
After Shen Lang and Xia Bingyan arrived at Baiyun Manor, Xia Bingyan drove Zhuge Jing to Villa No. 1.
On the way, Zhuge Jing asked, "Where are we going?"
"Mr. Shen's home, Villa No. 1 in Qingyun Mountain," Xia Bingyan replied with a smile. After all, it's never wrong to have a good relationship with someone you're going to share a bed with.
After a moment, Zhuge Jing hesitated before asking, "Um... can I ask what President Shen does?"
Xia Bingyan shook her head and replied, "I don't know either."
"Huh? You still dare to work for him?" Zhuge Jing asked in surprise. She couldn't imagine working for someone she knew nothing about.
Xia Bingyan smiled but didn't say anything.
The two arrived at Villa No. 1.
"Oh dear~ Didn't the young master come back with you?" Shuang'er asked, looking at the two women.
Xia Bingyan said, "Sister Shuang'er, the young master is having dinner with the boss of Xingyu Group at Baiyun Manor. I'll go pick him up in a bit."
"Oh!" Shuang'er nodded, then looked at Zhuge Jing: "A member of the Marquis of Wu family?"
Zhuge Jing shook her head coldly and said, "The Marquis of Wu family has nothing to do with me."
Shuang'er shook her head and said to Xia Bingyan, "You should settle her in."
Then she went back to watching Sailor Moon on TV.
Upon arriving at the room, Xia Bingyan asked Zhuge Jing to introduce her: "That was Shuang'er, the head housekeeper of President Shen's family."
"There are some other people in the family; you'll meet them in a bit."
Zhuge Jing said, "They can't all be women, can they?"
Because she hasn't seen a single men's item since entering the villa.
Xia Bingyan smiled and nodded, saying, "There are quite a few people in my family, but overall they are very easy to get along with."
