Chapter 560: Husband and Wife Reconcile

When Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu came out of the Apartment, there were only the two of them.

Sheng Zerong remained in the Apartment, the husband and wife having reconciled.

In truth, the two of them never had any real conflict; it was merely a meticulously planned frame-up that failed, that is all!

Sheng Zerong explained everything that happened yesterday.

During his lunch break yesterday, while eating at the restaurant downstairs from the company, a woman walked past him and accidentally knocked the coat he had placed on the back of his chair to the floor.

The woman apologized repeatedly and took the initiative to offer to have his clothes dry-cleaned.

This was originally a trivial matter, and the clothes weren't dirty, so there was no need for dry cleaning.

So he refused, and the woman thanked him and left.

The entire process took no more than a minute, but just as he resumed his meal and took a sip of soup, he felt that the taste of the soup was a bit off.

Before Sheng Zerong could figure out what was going on, he felt his eyelids grow heavy, and then he knew nothing more.

When he woke up.

Sheng Zerong discovered he was no longer in the restaurant, but on a large, unfamiliar bed!

His clothes were scattered all over the floor; judging by the room's layout, it must have been a hotel.

There was no one else in the room besides himself, so Sheng Zerong hurriedly put on his clothes, fled the hotel, and returned to the company.

He barely did any work all afternoon; his mind was in a chaotic mess, thinking only of that incident.

But all afternoon, he only managed to figure out one thing—the woman who knocked over his coat had done it on purpose.

She had taken that opportunity to distract him and then drugged his soup!

Although he had figured this much out, he still had no clue as to the woman's motive for doing so.

He didn't know what that woman's goal was; money? When he woke up, the person was already gone.

Moreover, his designer watch, the cash in his wallet, his solid gold tie clip... not a single one of the valuables he carried with him was missing.

After thinking for an entire afternoon, Sheng Zerong's brain felt like it was going to explode, yet he still couldn't fathom how that woman could have uploaded the intimate video of him to the internet and even pasted it on his father-in-law's front door.

The reason he didn't answer his wife's calls that day and came home late was that he was struggling, struggling with whether or not to tell his wife about this matter.

In the end, he chose not to say anything.

Because he was afraid, afraid of losing her.

However, things did not develop for the better just because he was afraid.

Despite his best efforts to cover it up, the matter was still "exposed."

Actually, it was impossible to hide it at all, right?

The intimate video had already been uploaded to the internet; how could people nowadays not go online?

Even if there were people who didn't go online often, like his father-in-law and mother-in-law, hadn't that person "thoughtfully" printed the intimate photos and pasted them on his front door?

After the matter was exposed, Sheng Zerong was terrified.

He could not defend himself.

But the misunderstandings and pointing fingers of others meant nothing; he didn't care about any of that.

The only thing he cared about was his wife's thoughts, yet his wife had run away from home, and not only that, she had left him a Divorce Agreement!

Sheng Zerong felt as if the sky had collapsed.

To divorce his wife—he would rather die!

He went to the seaside and was stopped by his older brother just as he was preparing to walk into the depths of the ocean.

His older brother told him that Jian Yixin wanted to divorce him, not because of the "intimate video."

The real reason was that she was afraid of dragging him down, afraid that being with her would put his life in danger.

With the matter laid out in the open, he looked at that Divorce Agreement again and discovered the telltale sign—it stated that all the family property would belong to Sheng Zerong, and Jian Yixin would leave with nothing.

This agreement was the most convincing evidence; if his wife had suspected him of cheating and wanted a divorce, there wouldn't be such a property division agreement!

This misunderstanding almost caused the two of them to be separated forever!

Sheng Zerong broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew his wife's personality; if he were to rashly go find her, she definitely wouldn't accept him, so he thought to protect his wife from the shadows, guarding her silently by her side.

The result was indeed counterproductive, scaring Jian Yixin half to death.

Upon learning that her husband was going to prove his sincerity with his death, Jian Yixin also broke out in a cold sweat!

If it hadn't been for Sheng Hanyu following him the whole time, Sheng Zerong would have fallen into that person's trap.

That person's methods were far more sophisticated than before; their current mindset was terrifyingly meticulous.

Just a little bit more, and the two of them would have become a real-life version of Romeo and Juliet.

If her husband had died, she would surely have been consumed by such guilt that her heart would bleed, and she certainly wouldn't have lived on alone; by then, that person would have finished them both off without even showing their face.

The facts were right before their eyes, more persuasive than any silver-tongued argument.

Neither Jian Yixin nor her husband needed any convincing; they naturally reconciled as before, prepared to face the unknown risks together, and would never be separated again.

The two of them didn't move back home, but instead stayed in the Apartment.

Every day they were inseparable, appearing together everywhere.

The "intimate video" incident on the internet had basically disappeared under Sheng Hanyu's intervention.

The one thing the internet never lacks is fresh news; although this kind of scandalous news could garner some attention, its stickiness was not high.

Once the heat of this matter died down, the vast masses of onlookers were quickly attracted by other things.

"Bang!"

"Clatter—"

The luxurious, secluded room was in a complete mess.

The mysterious man's face was livid; he could only vent the hatred in his heart by smashing things. After everything that could be smashed was shattered, he still didn't feel any relief, and the ugly turtle on his face looked even more ferocious!

That's right, just as Shi Youxuan and the others had guessed—the person pulling the strings behind all of this was Sheng Yukai!

He had escaped from Prison.

He escaped to take revenge, but an accident occurred, an accident that delayed his revenge plan by almost a full year.

After venting, he sat on the floor.

The floor was covered in glass shards; the sharp glass pierced through his thin clothing into his skin, drawing blood.

A trace of relief and intoxication appeared on Sheng Yukai's face.

He reached out to touch a wound, then put his bloodied finger into his mouth to suck on it.

The metallic, sweet scent of blood didn't make him feel nauseated; instead, it excited him. He kept creating more wounds on his body, then swallowed every single drop of blood that flowed from them!

A long while later.

Sheng Yukai finally regained his calm. He dialed a number and said calmly, "The plan failed. You were right."

The person on the other end said, "I told you long ago that it is impossible for you to bypass Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu to get your revenge. As long as they are involved, you cannot win."

Sheng Yukai was not convinced; he felt that the person was just talking big without having to deal with the consequences.

He had fought with Sheng Hanyu for so many years back then and had suffered countless losses; now they wanted him to go and fight Sheng Hanyu again?

Wasn't that just courting death?

But he didn't retort directly, his attitude respectful: "I will follow your instructions entirely."

The person on the other end was very satisfied with his attitude and said sinisterly, "They have already noticed you now. You must protect yourself. It's a pity to give up on that woman after using her only once; she could definitely be used again."

Sheng Yukai breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the boss hadn't abandoned him yet.

Thinking about it carefully, he felt he had been overthinking.

To get him out of Prison, that person had gone to great lengths and spent countless amounts of money; he wouldn't become a discarded pawn that quickly!

"Understood."

Sheng Group.

During the morning rush hour.

A seductive woman appeared in the company, swaggering in and causing the employees to look over one after another.
