Chapter 154: The Counter-Espionage Strategy

This blow was quite heavy, and it happened to land right on the wound, causing him to grimace in pain, but it also stopped his movements.

Sheng Yukai finally realized that his wife was unwilling to let her touch him.

He darkened his face, looking terrifyingly gloomy: "Speak, do you have someone else on the outside?" As he spoke, his hands clenched involuntarily, his fists cracking.

Shi Yuke did not doubt for a second that if she dared to answer, the ugly man in front of her would immediately strangle her to death!

"No, Sheng Yukai, you are making false accusations."

She did not hesitate at all, immediately and firmly denying it, and not only denying it but also turning the tables to expose his past: "Sheng Yukai, you heartless man, how could you suspect that I have someone else on the outside?"

"I married you because I love you, not someone else. If I had someone on the outside, I would have run off with them; why would I come back to be humiliated by you?"

A flash of hesitation crossed Sheng Yukai's face, as he felt what his wife said made sense.

Shi Yuke continued: "Put your hand on your heart and tell me, have you ever stopped having women on the outside since we got married? One after another, have I ever said anything? Have you ever cared about how much grievance I've suffered? Do you think it's easy for me to swallow my pride and suffer in silence? Now that you're in this state, you're still splashing dirty water on me and slandering me; do you think you're worthy of me..."

She cried and shouted, feeling incredibly wronged.

Sheng Yukai's heart softened. At this moment, he couldn't care less whether she was telling the truth or not, and hurriedly apologized and admitted his mistake.

He had used too much force and ended up selling his mother out!

When Shi Yuke was away, Bai Xue had been constantly instilling a sense of crisis in her son, telling him to keep a close watch on Shi Yuke, as times were different now.

If Shi Yuke kicked him, it would be too easy for her to find someone else, but it wouldn't be easy for him to find someone like her after leaving her...

Originally, he had been very confident in their relationship, but after his mother said so much, he naturally took it to heart; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so violent just now!

Now, this one sentence was like poking a hornet's nest. Shi Yuke immediately became relentless and wanted to go find Bai Xue to settle the score. If she were allowed to leave successfully this time, it would surely take a large sum of money to smooth things over again.

No matter how Sheng Yukai tried to persuade her, he wouldn't let her go out. Shi Yuke started arguing with him in the Hospital Ward, and in her agitation, she spoke without thinking: "Sheng Yukai, I've had enough of your family. Your mother is always targeting me, and your father is always trying to take advantage of me..."

Shi Yuke widened her eyes and covered her mouth with both hands.

The thing she feared most was the sudden silence of the air; it had been noisy just a moment ago, but now it was as still as death!

Sheng Yukai was petrified on the spot as if struck by lightning, unable to react for a long time.

The two stared at each other, and it was Shi Yuke who first broke the silence: "A Kai, I was just too angry and spoke nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."

After saying this, she started "wailing," crying very sadly, as if she truly had some unspeakable secret.

While "crying," she used the corner of her eye to observe Sheng Yukai, watching for his reaction.

He was recalling, recalling how every time Sheng Hai mentioned Shi Yuke, it was full of praise, which was completely different from his mother's attitude!

Before Shi Yuke married in, Sheng Hai's visits home could be counted on one hand, but since she married in, he had clearly spent much more time at home...

Once a person has a prejudice against another, they see everything that person does as wrong.

The more Sheng Yukai thought about it, the more he felt that Sheng Hai was acting strangely. Once this thought sprouted, it immediately grew like wild grass, and soon anger occupied Sheng Yukai's mind. He yanked the door open and rushed out!

"A Kai, where are you going? Don't be impulsive..."

Shi Yuke called for him to come back "anxiously" from behind, but in reality, her eyes and brows were filled with smiles.

Great, reality was even smoother than the plan!

Sheng Family Mansion.

The servants hid in the servants' quarters, not daring to even breathe loudly.

But the doors were all quietly left ajar, and the servants scrambled to press against the doors to eavesdrop on the commotion outside.

This couldn't be blamed on their curiosity; the scene of the argument outside was simply too explosive and too spectacular.

The mess in the main hall was even worse than in the Hospital Ward; in the ward, it was just Sheng Yukai smashing things, but now it was father and son smashing things together!

The injuries on Sheng Yukai's face hadn't healed yet, and with the anger and anxiety, it had swollen up, but he couldn't care about his face now, only about settling the score with Sheng Hai.

Sheng Hai didn't admit a single word of his son's accusations.

He cursed his son for having a mental illness, being deranged and talking nonsense, and said he should be sent to a psychiatric hospital.

Sheng Yukai cursed him for having a guilty conscience and being worse than a beast, saying that it was one thing to mess around with women outside, but to actually covet his own daughter-in-law...

The father and son were arguing incessantly. Bai Xue tried to persuade both sides, but neither would listen to her.

She called Shi Yuke, but the phone was still turned off.

Then she called the bodyguards to have them bring the young mistress back for a face-to-face confrontation, but the bodyguards said the young mistress had followed the young master out!

She had gone out but didn't come home; there was no need to ask, she must have gone into hiding, either back to her maiden home or to be with Shi Youxuan.

Bai Xue still had some brains and wasn't confused at this moment; she didn't call the Shi Family to look for her, and certainly wouldn't call Shi Youxuan.

Family scandals shouldn't be made public; no matter whether this matter was true or false, it wouldn't sound good if it got out, and the more people involved, the harder it would be to explain.

In fact, to put it bluntly, she also suspected that her husband had truly developed inappropriate thoughts about Shi Yuke and had even made physical advances.

The mother and son pressured Sheng Hai together, but no matter how Sheng Hai explained, it was useless. Finally, in a fit of rage, he threw out one sentence: "Fine, since you both suspect me, then let's divide the family assets!"

Divide the family?

The mother and son went silent instantly. Dividing the family was no small matter; such things could not be said lightly.

If the family wasn't divided, Sheng Yukai was still the Chairman of the Sheng Family. After the division, his power would be much smaller, and there were also the few illegitimate children Sheng Hai had outside, plus Sheng Zerong, who shared the same father and mother... it was all a mess of trouble.

Neither of them wanted to divide the family, and in reality, neither did Sheng Hai.

What was said just now was merely out of anger; none of the three wanted it, so naturally, it was left at that.

Although the matter of dividing the family was dropped, they still needed an explanation for this incident. Thus, Sheng Hai demanded that Shi Yuke come over for a confrontation; he hadn't done what he hadn't done, and he wasn't afraid of a confrontation.

The three of them were now united against an outsider and started looking for Shi Yuke. They went to the Shi Family first but didn't find her; instead, they alarmed Jiang Yadan and Shi Yucheng!

The Sheng Family suddenly came looking for someone; they had to give a reason, right?

Bai Xue originally wanted to lodge a complaint, saying that Shi Yuke had falsely accused her father-in-law of harassing her, but to the ears of her parents, the flavor of these words changed.

Jiang Yadan started fighting with Bai Xue on the spot, demanding an explanation. Her daughter had suffered such a huge loss in their home without her knowing, and now she was coming to turn the tables; her conscience had simply been eaten by dogs.

Shi Yucheng was a man, and a man couldn't hit a woman, so he went to Sheng Hai and his son to fight them to the death. No matter how troublesome his eldest daughter was, she was still his own flesh and blood, and he felt heartbroken that she had been bullied.

In the past, when his second daughter went missing, he had also caused a scene at Sheng Hanyu's place, and no matter how he caused a scene, it was fine, but this time it didn't work.

Sheng Yukai is not Sheng Hanyu.

He only has himself in his heart, no guilt; the Sheng Family does not pay so many bodyguards to do nothing, so as soon as Shi Yucheng started causing a scene, he was beaten by the bodyguards, and out of anger and hatred, he collapsed on the ground foaming at the mouth right then and there.

Sheng Yukai did not want him to die in his own home, so he had people send him to the hospital.

This matter eventually reached the ears of Shi Youxuan.

……

Tianma began to target the Sheng Family Group everywhere; at first it was covert, but now it is overt. Under the joint squeeze of Dingsheng and Tianma, the Sheng Family lost several big deals in succession, suffering heavy losses.

It never rains but it pours for the Sheng Family; business was already sluggish recently, and with so many things happening, now they are being blamed by Shi Youxuan because of the disappearance of Shi Yuke. If things continue like this, a century-old enterprise will be ruined in the hands of Sheng Yukai.
