He swung the iron rod at Fang Ze, who had stopped struggling, and struck him hard again, the impact of flesh against iron producing a dull thud.
One stroke after another, he couldn't stop at all. Shen Huai'an's eyes grew increasingly frantic until the sack slowly began to ooze red blood, at which point he finally stopped.
Looking at the red on the ground, Shen Huai'an threw down the iron rod in his hand with slight annoyance. He took a deep breath, then kicked the person in the sack hard in a final act of venting his anger.
It was quiet now, completely quiet.
Shen Huai'an shook his hand, took out a handkerchief from his suit trouser pocket, stood there and elegantly took off his glasses, gently wiping the sweat from his nose and forehead.
The flickering chandelier cast a long, long shadow of him. He slowly and deliberately put his glasses back on, buttoned his shirt collar, straightened his cuffs with a smile, and then put his suit jacket and trench coat back on.
After Shen Huai'an finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to the people beside him, and someone naturally handed his cane back to him. He regained his usual gentleness and elegance, turned to the others and said with a smile, "You've all worked so hard. The rest is up to you."
Shen Huai'an nodded slightly, leaning on his cane, and slowly left.
As they were leaving, Lu Wenlun arrived. He frowned and looked at Shen Huai'an, asking, "Is the matter settled?"
Shen Huai'an lowered his head and straightened his cuffs. "I'm leaving this to you."
"Mr. Shen, we finally found such a fat fish, and we both let him go because of you. How are you going to repay this favor?"
Shen Huai'an glanced at him. "What favor?"
"I paid off both his and my debts for you. Shouldn't you be grateful to me?"
Hearing him say that, Lu Wenlun's eyes widened immediately. "President Shen, if you put this blame on me, I'll have to take the blame for you. I'll also be the one who offends the Fang family, since the incident happened here."
Shen Huai'an raised an eyebrow, unconcerned. "The Fang family doesn't have much of an impact on you. They can't even reach you."
He chuckled and patted Lu Wenlun on the shoulder. "We're old friends, what's wrong with helping me out? I'll remember your kindness. I'm the kind of person who always repays kindness and avenges wrongs."
Lu Wenlun curled his lip. Shen Huai'an, with his character, really wasn't a gentleman who kept his promises; it wasn't impossible for him to go back on his word.
However, the two of them had already discussed it beforehand, and the money that Fang Ze was supposed to lose did indeed go into his own pocket.
"I heard you got married?" Lu Wenlun couldn't help but ask, recalling the news and gossip he had seen not long ago.
"Yes, I'm married, but we haven't had the banquet yet." Shen Huai'an patted the wrinkles on his sleeves and slowly straightened up.
"You're a bit out of touch, aren't you? You're only just finding out I got married?"
Lu Wenlun smiled and said, "I haven't paid much attention to you either. I thought someone like you was destined to be alone forever."
"When the banquet is held, just let me know, and I'll go see what kind of person would be so audacious as to be with you."
"He's very timid; he'll often hide behind me in fear."
Shen Huai'an subconsciously looked at his hand, wondering when he would be able to wear his custom-made ring.
"Don't worry, we definitely won't forget you when we hold the banquet. Remember to give me a big red envelope when you come!"
Just as Lu Wenlun was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang. He quickly took out his phone, looked at the screen, and waited a few seconds before answering the call.
"I'm working now, I'll be back soon."
Lu Wenlun's voice was calm but contained a hint of joy, "I'll be back soon."
Lu Wenlun hung up the phone and glanced at Shen Huai'an. "I have something to do, I can't keep you company."
He nudged Chen Huai'an in the back with his elbow. "Don't worry, leave everything to me. I'll make sure it's done properly."
"I'm off now, bye-bye!" Lu Wenlun swaggered away.
Shen Huai'an couldn't help but smile as he watched his retreating figure.
Fang Ze's affairs must not lead to suspicion about himself. Just then, Shen Huai'an was watching Fang Ze and discovered some of his little hobbies.
Fang Ze often comes here to gamble. When he's lucky, he can win a lot of money, but when he's unlucky, he loses a lot. Shen Huai'an has been watching him closely and knows that he will definitely come here today, so he and Lu Wenlun set a trap in advance to wait for Fang Ze.
The more greedy Fang Ze became, the deeper he sank into trouble. If only he had known when to stop while he was ahead, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
He was too greedy, but how many people who come here aren't greedy?
But greed should have its limits; those who, like Fang Ze, become blinded by greed and disregard everything else are few and far between.
How is the Fang family going to clean up this mess? Fang Ze is a spendthrift, and it would be a disaster for the Fang family if a spendthrift took power.
Shen Huai'an genuinely felt that he had done a good deed.
Zheng Hu walked over step by step with the phone in his hand. He said to Shen Huai'an, "Boss, the news media have been notified. We're just waiting for tomorrow morning."
Tomorrow morning, the Fang family will definitely know about Fang Ze's affair immediately, and the entire industry will know about Fang Ze's scandal.
Shen Huai'an had planned everything perfectly. He was a meticulous man, and Fang Ze was nothing to him. He originally did not intend to bother with such an ignorant and spoiled brat, but Fang Ze really took advantage of his kindness.
For the sake of the stars, he was determined to eliminate Fang Ze himself.
Just as Shen Huai'an had predicted, the Fang family found out about Fang Ze's accident the next day.
By the time Shen Huai'an rushed back, it was already the afternoon of the next day. The Fang and Chen families were now the center of public attention.
Fang Jiwei, the chairman of the Fang Group, lost tens of millions of yuan in gambling in one night. Unable to repay the debt, he had one of his hands cut off.
Fang Ze was stuffed into a sack and dumped on the busiest commercial street in Jiangcheng. That commercial street belonged to the Fang family, and soon someone recognized Fang Ze.
Fang Ze lost an arm and was beaten black and blue, almost unrecognizable. The wound on his forehead that had just been stitched up also reopened.
Along with a video that went viral, Fang Ze was seen walking into a hotel with a sexy woman in his arms. Some people recognized the woman as Jin Nana, Chen Xueping's best friend and bridesmaid when he and Chen Xueping got married.
What a twisted love triangle! It's so abnormal, many people say they can't stand it.
They're the worst kind of scumbags. Chen Xueping and Fang Ze are truly the worst kind of couple.
The story of a high-stakes gamble in one night topped the trending searches, sparking a frenzy of discussion among countless people, while others gloated, saying he deserved it.
Fang Jiwei never expected his son to cause so much trouble, losing tens of millions in just one night. If this spendthrift continues, he will really lose all the family's wealth.
