Chapter 172: Being Splashed with Sulfuric Acid

Sheng Yukai sat in the car and wailed loudly. After crying for a while, he thought that he must vent this anger, but he could not show his face; finding someone else to do it would be the same.

He made a phone call to give some instructions, then drove himself toward Zhang's house.

Zhang was not at home; his family said he was away on a business trip.

In reality, he was just hiding from him, not wanting to get involved with Sheng Yukai in any way again.

Sheng Yukai returned empty-handed, but he was not discouraged and went straight to a different law firm. For a small price, he forged a will—Sheng Hai's will—which stated that all properties under Sheng Hai's name belonged to him alone.

On the way home, Sheng Yukai felt so much regret!

He regretted that if he had known it was this easy, why had he kidnapped his classmate and forced Zhang to commit perjury back then?

He had taken such a huge risk, not only ruining his relationship with his classmate but also making Zhang hate him to the core.

It was already late at night when he arrived home. Half of the women guarding the gate were gone; those with small children had returned, but the women with older children were still there, and the bastards were all there too.

This time, Sheng Yukai did not hide; he got out of the car at the gate.

"Big Brother, where is our dad?" Sheng Jun was the first to step forward. He was twenty years old this year and was Sheng Hai's oldest illegitimate son outside.

Sheng Yukai glanced at him sideways: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't just call people whatever you want. I only have one younger brother, and he is abroad. What kind of thing are you to call me Big Brother? I don't have a brother like you."

In the past, Sheng Hai had brought the two of them together to meet and even eat a meal. At the time, it was harmonious, and Sheng Yukai had said that as long as his mother didn't find out, he would acknowledge this brother.

As it turned out, only a few months had passed, and he had already turned his back on him!

It didn't matter if he turned his back on them; in any case, Sheng Jun and his mother hadn't come to claim kinship with him. Sheng Jun's mother stepped forward and said anxiously: "Fine, it doesn't matter if you don't acknowledge us as relatives. Where is Sheng Hai? Let him come out. His phone is turned off, he's nowhere to be found; he must be hiding in the house, right?"

As she spoke, she tried to barge inside. Sheng Yukai had the servants block them outside, claiming that if they took one more step, he would call the police and report them for trespassing.

The servants were all newly hired and only listened to what Sheng Yukai said; nothing anyone else said mattered.

Sheng Jun and his mother couldn't see anyone while making a scene at the gate, so they demanded money.

There was even less money to be had; it was impossible for Sheng Yukai to give them a single cent, so he took out a copy of the "will" to show them: "Look at it yourselves. Once you're done, get lost; don't make a scene here."

Sheng Jun was young, and after reading it, he truly believed this was his father's intention. He hung his head in dejection and pulled his mother to leave, but his mother grew suspicious, pointing at the document and questioning: "He has always been in good health, and he isn't that old, so why would he write a will at a time like this? For these past few days, your father has been neither seen alive nor found dead; isn't it because you harmed him to death?"

"I don't believe this thing. Without seeing the person, I won't believe anything you say..."

A chill ran down Sheng Yukai's spine, and he snatched the "will" back: "Believe it or not, if you don't believe it, go sue me in court." After saying this, he entered the main gate and ignored them further.

The people outside were actually intimidated by him. Not knowing the truth, they didn't dare to make too much of a scene, so they lingered at the gate for a while and then all went home.

Sheng Yukai hid behind the window, and only after seeing that the people at the gate had left did he let out a sigh of relief.

He had managed to dodge a bullet today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after?

Only now did he realize how important parents were. If his father were still around, at least there would be someone to offer advice when there was trouble.

If his mother hadn't been hospitalized due to illness, those flirts of his father's wouldn't have dared to come to the house to make a scene!

And that bitch Yuke...

But it was too late to say anything now. He had no way back; he could only walk down this one path.

Jiang Yadan had been hiding outside for a period of time and found that everything was calm and nothing had happened.

So she wanted to go home. Eating and sleeping poorly outside was simply torture; if this continued, she would be scared to death before even entering the Prison.

As it turned out, she was almost angered to death after returning home.

Shi Yucheng was not at home. The servants said that the Second Miss had provided the funds, and the master had gone off to travel the world.

Her husband had gone out to play without taking her, which made Jiang Yadan extremely dissatisfied. She didn't even stop to think that even if Shi Yucheng wanted to take her, he would have to be able to find where she was first, right?

In any case, she felt very aggrieved, and she had to vent her grievances.

Jiang Yadan called Yuke to vent her dissatisfaction. Yuke had also grown tired of being with her young lover these past few days, so she returned to her maiden home to comfort her mother.

Halfway there, a silver-gray Chevrolet quietly followed behind her car, following her all the way into the residential complex.

Yuke parked the car at the entrance. Just as she got out, a man suddenly rushed out from behind and splashed a bottle of liquid onto her face!

She subconsciously turned her head and tried to block it with her hand. The liquid touched her skin and immediately hissed with white smoke—"Ah!!!" Yuke's scream echoed throughout the complex.

The man dropped the bottle, nimbly got into his car, and drove away. Jiang Yadan heard her daughter screaming outside and rushed out of the gate, almost fainting from fright.

Yuke was rushing and bumping around like a trapped beast. Her hand was severely injured, the entire right hand burned until it was a mess, deep enough to see the bone, and her face was the same...

"Someone help, save me!"

Shi Youxuan received a call from Jian Yining, who told her that Yuke had been splashed with sulfuric acid and was now in the operating room for emergency treatment.

"I'll be there immediately."

She grabbed her coat and was about to run out when Sheng Hanyu asked: "What happened?"

"A Ning called and said Yuke was splashed with sulfuric acid. I'm going over to take a look."

He did not stop her and followed her out: "I'll go with you."

"Okay."

When the couple arrived at the floor where the operating room was located, Jian Yining came over to stop Shi Youxuan: "Yingzi, you'd better not go over there."

"Why?"

Shi Youxuan glanced inside and saw Jiang Yadan sitting anxiously on a bench, and she knew why.

Jian Yining looked troubled, not knowing how to say it. When he made the call earlier, he had truly been kind, but who would have thought that Yuke's mother would report it to the police without a second thought, accusing Shi Youxuan of instigating someone to do it.

The police would arrive soon, and if Yingzi was also there, he was afraid it wouldn't be easy to explain.

"It's fine, I'll go take a look." Shi Youxuan patted Jian Yining on the shoulder, telling him to stay calm, and then walked straight toward Jiang Yadan.

Sheng Hanyu was afraid his wife would suffer, so he followed closely behind her, ready to protect her at any moment!

"Shi Youxuan, I'll fight you to the death..." Jiang Yadan's eyes were swollen like peaches, and she was sitting listlessly on the chair, but the moment she saw Shi Youxuan, she immediately regained her energy, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws as she lunged at her!

Sheng Hanyu gave a look, and the bodyguards behind him rushed over to pin Jiang Yadan down on the left and right, leaving her unable to move.

"Shi Youxuan, don't you run now that you're here. You harmed my daughter and still dare to come here to watch the joke... You will definitely face retribution!" Jiang Yadan shouted in the hallway.

Sheng Hanyu arrived in front of her, his hawk-like eyes fixed on Jiang Yadan, and he said sternly, "If you dare to curse her one more time, I will have your tongue pulled out, believe it or not?"

Jiang Yadan immediately shut her mouth, and sure enough, she did not dare to curse another word.

If she had done it herself, she would admit it, but if she hadn't, she would not allow anyone to frame her for it!

The current Shi Youxuan was no longer the Shi Youxuan from before who lived under someone else's roof and let Jiang Yadan bully her; she walked toward Jiang Yadan with a smile and suddenly raised her hand to slap her across the face!

"Slap."

The sound was crisp and loud, shocking everyone present, including Jiang Yadan herself.

Before she could react, Shi Youxuan spoke up and asked, "Do you know why I hit you?"

"This slap is for your nonsense and for arbitrarily splashing dirty water on me; of course, you've long been used to it, haven't you? Then starting from today, you should learn a lesson and change your habits!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she backhanded another slap onto Jiang Yadan's face; Shi Youxuan's smile remained unchanged, but every word she spat out made Jiang Yadan's heart tremble with fear: "This slap is for your inability to judge people; in the past, you couldn't stand to see me do well, and now you are even more blind to my worth!"

"That's right, I don't like Shi Yuke, but I wouldn't use such low-handed tactics to deal with her, because I... don't... need to!"
