Chapter 329: A Pig-Like Teammate Is Worse Than Having None

Zhu Yiwen refused to utter a single word after arriving at the police station; according to regulations, if there is no evidence and the suspect refuses to confess, they cannot be detained for more than twenty-four hours.

Just as the police station was preparing to release him, Xiao Fang came to turn himself in at this critical juncture!

He thought that as long as he confessed to everything, this matter would have nothing to do with Zhu Yiwen at all.

But what Xiao Fang did not expect was that the police did not ask about the details of the crime, but rather about the relationship between him and Zhu Yiwen.

The relationship between the two could not withstand investigation at all; the fact that Zhu Yiwen gave him money and supported him was quickly investigated to the bottom.

Consequently, Xiao Fang admitted it quite readily.

He admitted to their relationship, he admitted to going to Jiangzhou to kidnap Shi Youxuan, and he confessed to everything regarding stabbing Sheng Hanyu!

But Xiao Fang insisted that Zhu Yiwen was not the mastermind, and that his motive for doing so was purely jealousy of Shi Youxuan.

Zhu Yiwen was ultimately released without charge.

Returning to the company, he had the feeling that a day in the mountains is a thousand years in the world!

Everyone looked at him with strange gazes; there was awe in their eyes, but more of it was disgust and fear.

People gave him a wide berth; even if they ran into him head-on, they would turn and run, as if he were a flood or a wild beast.

The company's reputation plummeted because of him, and a thick stack of resignation letters piled up on his desk; even the General Manager who had been with him for many years handed in a resignation letter.

The only people who did not avoid him were the people from the bank!

The people from the bank chased after Zhu Yiwen's heels: pay back the money, pay back the money, pay back the money!

Where would he have money to pay them back?

And so, the company was seized and sent to court for auction.

His luxury mansion was also seized and simultaneously listed online for auction!

Zhu Yiwen suddenly collapsed overnight, left with nothing.

The person who was once high and mighty was now like a rat crossing the street, with everyone shouting to beat him.

He had done many shady things in the past, but because he had greased the wheels everywhere, he had always been fine.

But now that he had fallen, the tree had fallen and the monkeys had scattered.

Zhu Yiwen was miserable, so miserable that he didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

And at this time, Xiao Fang was released—paroled.

He was paroled because someone had provided a guarantee; Xiao Fang thought it was Zhu Yiwen who had saved him, so he went directly to find Zhu Yiwen after getting out.

He discovered Zhu Yiwen in the woods near the Zhu Family estate.

It had only been a few days, yet the Head of the Family was so miserable that he almost didn't recognize him!

Zhu Yiwen's face was bruised black and blue as if he had been beaten, and the designer suit on his body was so dirty that its color was barely discernible; it was also torn in several places, tattered like a beggar's.

"Head of the Family, Head of the Family, how did you end up like this?" Xiao Fang rushed over and hugged him, crying with immense sorrow.

Zhu Yiwen had seen the ways of the world and tasted the coldness of human relationships over these past two days, but he blamed all of this on Xiao Fang, feeling that if he hadn't suddenly turned himself in, he wouldn't have been disgraced.

He had wanted to find him but couldn't, and now he had delivered himself to his doorstep!

"Pfft—"

Xiao Fang widened his eyes in shock; he could clearly hear the sound of a knife piercing into his own body!

It was the same sound as when his knife had pierced into Sheng Hanyu's body last time.

The color was also the same.

Bright red blood sprayed out, splashing all over Zhu Yiwen's face.

This face that he had loved so dearly was now somewhat distorted, looking very ferocious.

"How am I? Everything is as you wished; I'm finished. Are you very happy, huh?"

The knife Zhu Yiwen had plunged into his body turned another one hundred and eighty degrees; the more Xiao Fang bled, the more excited he became: "It looks good, hahahahaha, it's nice and warm. Did you come here to see me make a fool of myself?"

"Look then, look all you want."

"Laugh then, laugh as hard as you can!"

"That's right, I used you, but I wasn't bad to you in the past either; you didn't have to harm me like this..." Zhu Yiwen roared.

His eyes were filled with hatred and disgust for Xiao Fang.

The thing Zhu Yiwen regretted most now was looking only at Xiao Qing's face and not his brain, resulting in finding such a pig-like teammate who caused him to capsize in the gutter.

Xiao Fang felt desolate; only now did he realize he had loved the wrong person, but the realization came too late, and it was too late for regrets.

"I didn't come to see you make a fool of yourself; I wanted to go far away with you."

With trembling hands, he took a card out of his pocket and said intermittently: "Here, here is my, is my money saved up over these years; it's enough for the two of us to live a life of plenty abroad for a lifetime..."

The card fell to the ground, and Xiao Fang also collapsed to the ground; he died before he could finish his sentence, dying with his eyes wide open in resentment!

"Idiot, what's the use of a card? It would be safer to exchange it for gold and cash." Zhu Yiwen kicked Xiao Fang's corpse, hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the card and ran toward the distance.

He still had to try and see if he could withdraw money from an ATM.

He didn't have a single cent on him now; all his money had been confiscated by the bank. Zhu Yiwen wanted to escape, to flee abroad and wait for an opportunity, hoping to make a comeback in the future!

The idea was beautiful, but he no longer had the chance.

He had only run a short distance when he discovered he was surrounded by police; they were in front and behind, and he didn't know where these people had popped out from.

But he knew one thing—it was over, this time it was completely over!

United States.

The Chinese restaurant in the Crown Hotel was booked out by Tianma today; the magnificent, gold-adorned hall was filled with joy, and the atmosphere was wonderful.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Everyone raised the wine glasses in their hands, clinked them together with a crisp sound, and then drank them down in one gulp!

Shi Youxuan smiled radiantly as she thanked Jian Yining, thanked Sheng Zerong, thanked Yun Zhehao, thanked Wang Yong... and also the hospital doctors and nurses who had helped her from the sidelines.

It was unclear whether it was intentional or on purpose, but she left out only Sheng Hanyu.

Wang Yong reminded her: "Hey, Director Shi, you've thanked everyone else, why not thank my brother? He's the one who put in the most effort." In private, when not in front of Shi Youxuan, Wang Yong called her sister-in-law.

But in front of her, he didn't dare, only daring to call her "Director Shi."

Sheng Zerong nudged him and reminded him: "There's no need for those two to say thanks to each other; even if you're biased toward your big brother, you don't need to protect him at a time like this."

"Hahahaha..."

"Hehe."

"Heehee!"

Some were snickering and some were laughing out loud; regardless, everyone was good-naturedly mocking Wang Yong.

He didn't get angry either, rubbing the back of his head and laughing along honestly: "Oh, oh, I was wrong, it was my oversight."

"What do you all mean?"

Shi Youxuan's face darkened, with three big words written all over it—not happy!

Sheng Hanyu had originally been feeling quite smug, but now seeing the little woman get angry, he immediately glared at them and began to rebuke them for not knowing what was good for them: "Use your brains before you speak next time. Xuanxuan has just been through such a major event, and you still have the heart to joke around with her; are you even human?"

"If you talk nonsense again, watch out, I'll deal with you next time."

"Don't call me Xuanxuan. Is Xuanxuan something you can call me? Call me by my full name or Director Shi." Shi Youxuan turned hostile and began to fuss over the form of address again.

Sheng Hanyu clutched his chest: "Ouch, my wound hurts."

Whether it was truly painful or fake, only he himself knew.

In any case, the form of address didn't change, and the matter was glossed over.

Jian Yining asked Shi Youxuan what plans she had for the future.

Zhu Yiwen had completely fallen, and his marriage to Shi Youxuan was also declared over.

Because Shi Youxuan's status in L Country was not legal, their marriage was likewise not legal. The relatives of the Zhu Family were eager for Shi Youxuan to distance herself from them so that after Zhu Yiwen's assets were liquidated and unfrozen, they could get a share of the spoils without having to give a single cent to Shi Youxuan and her daughter.

Shi Youxuan: "I want to return to Jiangzhou, go back and build a big house, and bring Dad over to live together."

Jian Yining pointed his chin in the direction of Sheng Hanyu: "That person, what are your thoughts?"

She shook her head: "No thoughts. We'll mind our own business, each living our own lives; it's best if we never have anything to do with each other again."

Even she herself didn't believe what she had just said.
