Zhou Zhengqing looked at Shen Jingyan with an arrogant expression, as if he were the master of the world.
"Jingya, you're in my hands now, you have to listen to me."
This means that Shen Jingyan is not in a position to make demands of him now.
Shen Jingyan smiled dismissively: "Zhou Zhengqing, don't be too arrogant. You know my personality. I'm not someone who can be easily manipulated."
Zhou Zhengqing gazed greedily at that beautiful face: "But aren't I holding you hostage now? I told you to come, and you obediently came, didn't you?"
Shen Jingyan's eyes flashed with two sharp, cold light: "You're using the lives of my family to blackmail me. Is that some kind of honorable method? There's nothing to be proud of about that, is there?"
If it weren't for Xu Yatong's safety, Shen Jingyan could have conjured an axe right now and chopped him down until he begged for mercy.
Zhou Zhengqing's face turned ashen; Chen Jingyan's words struck a nerve.
But having come this far, there was no turning back.

With the idea that "to die under the peony is to be romantic even as a ghost," he grabbed Shen Jingyan's arm and tried to drag him away.
The woman he had longed for for years was now standing in front of him. Even if he died without a burial place, he would still want to kiss her!
Shen Jingyan suddenly broke free from his arm and glared at him angrily.
Zhou Zhengqing threatened, "Jingya, don't be stubborn. If you don't behave, I'll have someone carry you away!"
"I don't need you to carry me, I can walk by myself. I said I want to see Tongtong first!"
After a brief standoff, Zhou Zhengqing, seeing that Shen Jingyan showed no fear, had no choice but to compromise.
"Follow me!"
He led the way, with Shen Jingyan following behind. She was surrounded by a group of henchmen, each wielding iron bars, switchblades, and other weapons, staring at her menacingly.
Zhou Zhengqing opened a door, and before Shen Jingyan could peek inside, a gasp of surprise came from within.
"Jingya, you...how did you get here!"

Xu Yatong struggled to get up from the small bed, looking at Shen Jingyan with shock and fear.
Her hands and feet were bound, and her right index finger was wrapped in a piece of gauze with specks of blood on it.
Just as Shen Jingyan was about to go in, Zhou Zhengqing stretched out his arm and stopped her.
"You saw that? She's perfectly fine! I didn't hurt her, I just cut off half of her fingernail and bandaged it up!"
The tone was as if he were praising himself as a savior.
Suppressing his overwhelming rage, Shen Jingyan said, "Let her go."
"That won't do. If she leaves, you won't behave properly anymore."
Seeing Shen Jingyan fall into Zhou Zhengqing's hands, Xu Yatong felt heartbroken and couldn't help but burst into tears.
She never imagined that her provocative remark to Zhou Zhengqing would lead him to such a crazy action.
How could she be so brainless!
But now, all she can do is regret it!
Xu Yatong was fully aware of Zhou Zhengqing's malicious intentions. She wished she could take Shen Jingyan's place and would rather be the one being humiliated!
"Jingya, how could you be so foolish! What... what do I have that makes you want to save me! It's not worth sacrificing so much for me! It's not worth it!"
Shen Jingyan calmly comforted her, "We are both mothers, and I understand your feelings best."
Xu Yatong roared at Zhou Zhengqing, "You beast! Release Jingya, I beg you, at least do some good for your descendants!"
Zhou Zhengqing coldly sneered cruelly, "What children do I have? Which one of them recognizes me as their father?"
Xu Yatong kept sobbing, her shoulders shaking weakly.
"As long as you release Jingya, I'm willing to let Yuanyuan acknowledge you."
She crossed her final line, hoping only that Shen Jingyan would be unharmed.
She had conflicts and disagreements with Shen Jingyan, and even hated her for appearing out of nowhere and taking away the fatherly love that should have been hers. But later, the one who saved her from dire straits and made her see Zhou Zhengqing's true colors was actually the person she hated the most!

She couldn't let Shen Jingyan down again and again!
"Tongtong, don't talk nonsense. Zhou Zhengqing is a scumbag who doesn't deserve such a good daughter as Yuanyuan!"
Shen Jingyan spoke firmly and forcefully in front of Zhou Zhengqing.
Zhou Zhengqing's eyes were cold and sinister; the way he looked at Shen Jingyan was as if he wanted to devour her.
A sinister smile crept across his lips. The man was now in his hands; he could do whatever he wanted with him.
We must make this proud woman completely submit!
He said calmly, "Zhou Zhengqing, make sure Tongtong gets home safely, or you won't be able to touch a hair on my head."
"That won't do. What if she goes back and calls the police to arrest me?"
Shen Jingyan smiled calmly: "I'm practically a hostage in your hands, and I haven't even dared to call the police. Do you think Tongtong would dare to call the police?"
"Besides, if you're worried she'll call the police, you can just let her go and move on immediately. I wouldn't even look at a place like this. You, Young Master Zhou, wouldn't choose such a godforsaken place for a night of passion, would you? That's beneath you. I look down on you."

Chen Jingyan's words stirred Zhou Zhengqing's nerves.
Surprisingly, he found Shen Jingyan's words to be very reasonable!
"So, have you made up your mind? Let Tongtong go, and I'll cooperate obediently. You can do whatever you want with her. But if you don't let her go, I'll fight you to the death and make your carefully planned scheme come to nothing!"
