Chapter 62 The Scum of the Shen Family
Shen Jiheng thought that freezing her account would allow her to see Zhou Yiming's actions clearly during this time and prevent her from being deceived by this man again.
To my surprise, instead of realizing her mistake, she became even more outrageous, which was infuriating.
She dared to threaten suicide at this point, so how could Shen Jiheng be intimidated by her?
Seeing that he wouldn't listen to reason, Shen Mingzhu cried again, "If you don't care about me, I'll go to my mother and grandmother. They won't be as heartless as you."
After she finished speaking, she tried to leave, but Shen Jiheng grabbed her arm.
"Wait a minute!"
Shen Jiheng tilted his head and frowned, suddenly thinking of some questions he had never considered before.
Shen Mingzhu thought he was going to change his mind, so she immediately put on a smiling face.
"Brother, I knew you loved me the most. When are you going to unseal me?"
Shen Jiheng stared at her sternly and asked, "Shen Mingzhu, don't tell me you've been asking them for money all these years."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingzhu hurriedly stepped back, her smile freezing on her face.
"No...no, I just wanted to scare you."
Shen Jiheng has given her a lot of money over the years, and he also made it clear to her that she must not let these things interfere with her family.
But judging from her demeanor just now, she must have asked her family for money quite a bit.
"You'd better tell me the truth, because I can find out about this with just one investigation."
Shen Mingzhu said unhappily, "Alright, why are you being so fierce to me? Besides, the family is rich, what's wrong with giving me a little? I've only asked them twice."
In the past, people only thought she was living a luxurious life and had the ability to indulge herself.
Only then did he realize what foolish things his dear sister had done.
This is simply a disgrace to the Shen family.
“Shen Mingzhu, listen to me. Start earning money with your own hands now. I’ll have people watching you. If you want to survive, you’ll have to work hard.”
"What do you mean? You mean you won't give me a single penny? I'm the eldest daughter of the Shen family."
“You are the eldest daughter of the Shen family, but you are not a good-for-nothing. You should create value for yourself, not just ask for money. If you can’t do that, then wait to starve to death.”
Shen Jiheng pushed her one last time. He had previously thought of freezing her account so that she would report everything she needed, but now he realized that she had become completely useless.
If we don't help her stand up, she will become a cancer in the future.
Shen Mingzhu was so angry she almost jumped up, and said fiercely, "Fine, if you're going to treat me like this, then I'll pretend I don't have a brother like you from now on."
Shen Jiheng pointed to the doorway.
"You can get out now!"
She wasn't given even the slightest bit of hope, and Shen Mingzhu left in a fit of rage.
Shen Jiheng took a deep breath, helplessly rubbing his forehead, feeling nothing but unpleasant things.
Thinking about how Han Xi stormed off earlier, she must think I was deliberately teasing her again.
He just wanted to take this opportunity to let the two of them sit down, have a good cup of tea, and cultivate their relationship.
It seems he really isn't good at coaxing people; it always backfires.
Han Xi was driving back to her law firm when her phone beeped a few times in the passenger seat. She only picked it up to check it after they stopped in the garage.
It was sent by Shen Jiheng, telling her that there was still no news about Lu Chen's disappearance yesterday. As for Gu Hanxi, she said that the Gu family knew about the bad things she had done and wanted to hand her over to be punished, but she escaped.
Upon seeing these messages, Han Xi couldn't help but sigh. They could have spoken politely, but instead, they chose to provoke her.
Shen Jiheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw that she had read his message but hadn't replied. This woman's temper was getting worse.
When Han Xi returned to the law firm, Zhuo Qingqian told him another bad thing.
"Xi Xi, Liang Dong still hasn't shown up."
"That's strange. I talked to him before I left this morning and we were sure there were no problems. Why didn't he come? Have you contacted him?"
"The phone has been switched off. We've already sent people to look for me, but there's still no news."
Han Xi frowned upon hearing this; something was amiss.
Liang Dong has been urging for a quick resolution to this case, so he should be very proactive. Even if something came up, he should have explained it to them; he absolutely cannot just disappear like this.
Considering that Gu Hanxi and Lu Chen are also missing, there must be some connection between them.
Just as Han Xi was at her wit's end, the phone rang again. Seeing that it was Bo Siye calling, she and Zhuo Qingqian exchanged glances and went back to the office first.
"Si Ye, is there something you need to call at this hour?"
"Han Xi, if I'm not mistaken, you're definitely looking for Liang Dong."
"Judging from your tone, do you know where he is?"
Han Xi almost forgot about Bo Siye, who was Liang Dong's high school classmate and might know something about him.
Bo Siye replied, "I do know. He was trapped in a teahouse by people arranged by Gu Beichen. I thought you might be very anxious, so I notified you after hearing this news. I have already sent the location to your phone."
It was indeed related to the Gu family, but I didn't expect Gu Beichen to get involved as well.
"Thank you, I'll go find him right away."
"I think you should call the police to avoid trouble."
Han Xi said gratefully, "Thank you for the reminder. I'll discuss it with the people at the law firm before making a decision."
Bo Siye replied earnestly, "Han Xi, please let me know if there's anything I can help you with. I'm always ready to assist you."
After these few encounters, Han Xi could sense that his feelings for her were special.
In her mind, Bo Siye was indeed a very good person, and being his girlfriend would definitely be very happy.
After hanging up the phone, she told Zhuo Qingqian the news, which made Zhuo Qingqian so angry that she almost jumped up on the spot.
"That idiot Gu Beichen is capable of doing anything stupid for that wicked sister. To put it bluntly, this is kidnapping. Does he want to go to jail?"
Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Han Xi didn't immediately think of calling the police.
Gu Beichen was probably also misled, hence the different circumstances surrounding his reporting to the police.
"So we must bring Liang Dong back now. What do you think we should do?"
Zhuo Qingqian clenched her fists and said angrily, "I'll personally take action and teach him a lesson today."
Han Xi patted her on the shoulder.
"Go ahead, let's resolve this before things escalate."
Zhuo Qingqian grabbed her car keys and left. Thinking about the absurd thing Gu Beichen had done, she felt like killing him.
The address provided by Bo Siye was a teahouse in the suburbs, a sparsely populated area, a place for relaxation and wellness.
Zhuo Qingqian's car was stopped at the entrance. According to the guard, the teahouse was booked out for the day and no outsiders were allowed.
Zhuo Qingqian got out of the car angrily, walked to the door, put her hands on her hips, and shouted inside, "Gu Beichen, it's me! Come out here!"
Zhuo Qingqian's shouts went unanswered. After a few seconds, she said angrily, "Gu Beichen, are you trying to force me to use force? If you don't come out by the time I count to three, I'll call the police and let you, this rich kid, experience what it's like to go to jail."
If it weren't for their past relationship, Zhuo Qingqian would have called the police long ago instead of coming herself.
Inside the house, Gu Beichen was also in a state of panic. He was only thinking of keeping Liang Dong out of court for a day, but he never expected Zhuo Qingqian to arrive.
Knowing she wasn't joking, I had no choice but to come out and greet her.
"Qianqian, I can never find you on ordinary days, why did you come to my door today? Do you want to get back together with me?"
