The next day, I went directly to Jiang Haiyang's company to find him.
Upon seeing me, Jiang Haiyang's face turned icy. He glanced at me and immediately spoke with sarcasm: "What are you doing here? Haven't you made enough of a mess in this house already?"
I sat down at his desk and got straight to the point: "I urgently need money. If you won't return my mother's shares to me, then just give me the money directly."
Jiang Haiyang paused, looked up at me with an even darker expression, and said, "Jiang Wan, are you out of your mind? I've already given you half of your mother's shares, and you're still not satisfied?"
"Since it's my mother's, it should all be given to me. If you hadn't taken over my grandparents' business, would you be enjoying this meteoric rise to success?"
"..." Jiang Haiyang stared intently at me.
The atmosphere was tense for two seconds, then he suddenly stood up and walked towards me, grabbing me and saying, "Get out, or I'll have to call security."
"I'll leave once you give me the money. It's not much, ten million will do."
"Ten million?" Jiang Haiyang's voice changed in shock. "You're dreaming! I'd rather throw it down the drain than give it to you!"
"Jiang Haiyang, have you thought this through? Jiang Yi might become critically ill someday, and you might need me then."
I don't want to objectify myself, but I have no choice now; I must raise money as soon as possible.
This humiliation is nothing compared to redeeming my mother's bracelet.
"You have no manners! I'm your father, and no daughter calls her father by his first name!"
"You don't deserve to be a father. Calling you by your name is too kind." I thought to myself, calling you a beast would be more fitting.
"Unfilial daughter!" Jiang Haiyang roared, then pondered for a moment, his eyes sharpening as he looked at me again. "Are you willing to save Jiang Yi?"
"As long as the money is in place."
"Hmph! Why didn't you save him last time?"
“It wasn’t that I didn’t want to save him that time, but the doctor said I couldn’t have my blood drawn because I had taken sleeping pills.”
Jiang Haiyang hesitated, seemingly wavering.
Just when I thought he really doted on Jiang Yi, he unexpectedly said, "I have no money, not even a million, let alone ten million."
I paused for a second, then let out a cold laugh.
"So, you don't really dote on Jiang Yi after all. In your eyes, your own daughter's life isn't worth ten million." Mainly because ten million isn't much to him anyway.
Jiang Haiyang looked somewhat embarrassed after I hit the nail on the head. He retorted, "She's already terminally ill and beyond saving. Why end up losing both her and our money?"
“That makes sense…” I nodded, raised my phone and waved it, “I just wonder what the consequences would be if my stepmother heard this.”
I didn't actually record the conversation; I just wanted to scare him and force him to give me money.
To everyone's surprise, his face hardened, and he raised his hand to slap me: "You jinx! How dare you threaten me?"
Caught off guard, I was knocked backward and fell face-first onto the table. My ears were ringing and half of my face was completely numb.
Before I could straighten up, Jiang Haiyang pounced on me with lightning speed and snatched my phone.
I struggled to defend myself, but he grabbed my hair hard and slammed me against the table with my arm.
My arm was so painful and numb that my phone fell to the ground.
Jiang Haiyang picked up my phone and saw that the screen was locked and there was no recording.
"You lied to me?" He realized he'd been tricked, but he showed no remorse for hitting his daughter. Instead, he cursed her even more fiercely, "Just like your mother, scheming and greedy!"
I stood up, took my phone, and stepped back two paces.
"Jiang Haiyang, you'll get your comeuppance." I glared at him fiercely, and for a moment, I really wanted to take him down with me.
As I left his office, I ran into a strange woman.
The woman clearly had undergone plastic surgery; she had a hot body, dressed in extremely alluring clothes, and her perfume was so strong it was almost pungent.
I silently turned around and glanced at the woman's back, and saw her push open the door and go straight into Jiang Haiyang's office.
My sixth sense tells me that this woman and Jiang Haiyang definitely have a special relationship.
After getting into the car, I thought for a moment and then called Li Yunwei.
"Weiwei, could you do me a favor and find someone to follow me..."
If I weren't busy meeting the deadline for the Su family's order, I would definitely have personally overseen the process.
I thought it would take two or three days to find any clues about Jiang Haiyang.
That very night, while I was still working overtime in the studio, Li Yunwei sent me a message.
"Wanwan, your scumbag dad went to the Hilton Hotel with a vixen, room number 8868—should we go catch them in the act?"
I put the needle and thread aside and said calmly, "What's the point of me doing it? Of course, I'll let someone else do it."
I called Tang Xiu'e.
"Jiang Wan? What do you want from me again?" Tang Xiu'e always spoke to me with an impatient tone.
But I was very polite: "Stepmother, is my dad home?"
"No! I heard you went to his company today to ask him for money. Jiang Wan, have you no shame? Jiang Yi is sick and needs a lot of money for treatment. Instead of helping her, you, as her older sister, are asking your father for money!"
I said, "Your son-in-law is my brother-in-law, he has plenty of money, why would I need to help him?"
"you--"
Tang Xiu'e was rendered speechless by my rebuttal.
"Stepmother, don't say I don't treat you like family. I'm calling because I have good news to tell you."
"Good news?" Tang Xiu'e was taken aback. "What good news could you possibly have?"
"Your husband has prepared a surprise for you in room 8868 at the Hilton."
Tang Xiu'e paused for a few seconds, then her tone suddenly sharpened, "What do you mean? Jiang Haiyang is having affairs outside?"
"Whether it's promiscuity or not, you'll know once you go and see for yourself. We need to hurry, or someone will die and there will be another person to divide the inheritance."
Before I could finish speaking, the person on the other end slammed down the phone while cursing.
Looks like the real show is about to begin.
Li Yunwei and I arrived at the Hilton Hotel at roughly the same time.
Seeing my swollen face, Li Yunwei asked me what happened and, upon learning the truth, exclaimed indignantly, "Even tigers don't eat their cubs! Your own father is worse than an animal!"
I remained calm. "It's alright, he's just getting his comeuppance."
We had just sat down in the hotel lobby when Tang Xiu'e arrived in a flurry with Jiang Hao.
"Are you sure the person is still in the room?" I asked Li Yunwei.
"It's confirmed. The people I sent recorded a video. The two went into the room and didn't come out again. They're probably hitting a home run right now."
I nodded, then dialed 110 to report a case of prostitution: "Hello, officer, I'd like to report someone for soliciting prostitution—"
Li Yunwei stared in surprise, then gave me a thumbs up.
After making the call, a sense of vengeful pleasure washed over me.
We're all family, and I wouldn't want to air my dirty laundry in public unless I was forced to the point of no return.
If we're going to destroy each other, then we'll all be destroyed together. Anyway, I'm barefoot and have nothing to fear.
The police officers responded very quickly.
In less than three minutes, the police car had already pulled up in front of the hotel.
When Li Yunwei and I saw the police car appear, we immediately got up, got into the elevator, and went upstairs.
Coincidentally, the room was very close to the elevator. Before we even stepped out of the elevator, we could already hear the sounds of banging and cursing outside.
When they went outside, they found Tang Xiu'e indeed grabbing Jiang Haiyang and throwing a tantrum.
Jiang Hao also grabbed the woman and started fighting with her, pulling her by the hair.
