Chapter 90: Pull Yourself Together and Take Revenge

~9 min read 1,662 words

Yingzi grabbed his hand, checking his injuries while telling the housekeeper to go get the medical kit.

"My hand is fine." He didn't care about his injuries at all, only urging Yingzi to continue the previous topic: why was Sheng Yukai suddenly released?

He had been having a hard time at home these past two days, and Sheng Yukai had been having an equally hard time at the police station.

All the evidence was against him.

Sheng Yukai was too clever for his own good; he was so nervous that he overdid it, ruining his own plan.

The things he threatened the servants to say, those unified stories, not only failed to help, but instead made things worse, exposing his intent to cover up the truth.

Then there was the forged will; the old man's important documents were always sealed and kept with Zhang, and he wouldn't let anyone see them until he was ready to announce them, let alone the matter of a signature.

The old man's personal lawyer and friend—Zhang—personally testified to this!

Furthermore, a signature is required for cremation at the funeral home; although the name on the signature book was Sheng Hanyu, he was still unconscious in the hospital at the time, and all signs pointed to Sheng Yukai being the one behind it.

These matters had reached Sheng Hanyu's ears through various channels, and just when he thought he would see the truth soon—Sheng Yukai was released?

Yingzi said: "You treat your wound first, then I'll tell you."

The housekeeper brought the medical kit, and Yingzi used small tweezers to pull the glass shards embedded in his flesh out bit by bit, then took out the iodine—the housekeeper urged the Eldest Young Master: "Eldest Young Master, please bear the pain."

The iodine stung when it touched the wound, but this pain was nothing compared to the pain in Sheng Hanyu's heart.

So Yingzi didn't even use a cotton swab, pouring it directly onto the wound!

"You've gone too far."

The housekeeper's heart ached so much it twitched, but Sheng Hanyu didn't even frown.

After the iodine disinfected the wound, it was wrapped in gauze; before the final step was even finished, Sheng Hanyu couldn't wait to ask again: "Why was Sheng Yukai suddenly released?"

Yingzi: "It wasn't sudden. Those people have been jumping around trying to find a way every single day, while you were the only one in the room doing nothing... No, you did do something, you drank all this in three days!"

As she spoke, she went to the window and opened it to let in some air. With the fresh air coming in, Sheng Hanyu's head cleared a bit, and he muttered to himself: "No, there must be something fishy here, someone is playing tricks."

Yingzi rolled her eyes at him: "Duh, everyone knows there's something fishy. Now it depends on what you want to do? Are you going to hide away and play the ostrich, or go out and face it head-on?"

Sheng Hanyu had locked himself in the Study for three full days.

During these three days, apart from asking the housekeeper for alcohol, he didn't see anyone, didn't say anything, and didn't do anything.

Everyone knew the old man's death had been a huge shock to him and wanted to give him time to heal alone, but it had already been three days, and not coming out was going too far.

Sheng Zerong and Yun Zhe Hao went to discuss it with Jian Yining, and then the three of them met at the Villa.

This was also the first time Yun Zhe Hao had seen Yingzi.

When the Sheng Family Mansion caught fire, Yun Zhe Hao and his wife were traveling in Paris; upon hearing the news, he immediately caught a flight back. When he returned, Sheng Hanyu had just locked himself in the Study.

Although Yingzi and Yun Zhe Hao had never met or interacted before, they were all partners and shared interests, so it was easy to reach a consensus.

The four of them unanimously agreed: Sheng Hanyu must be made to pull himself together!

The goal was set, but the first thing to do was to get him out of the Study!

So they drew lots to see which unlucky soul would be the first to go and face his wrath, and Yingzi was that "unlucky soul."

Yingzi knew that for someone like Sheng Hanyu, comfort and sympathy were completely unnecessary.

The only way to make him pull himself together quickly was probably "stimulation."

Seeing that Sheng Hanyu had no reaction, she continued with her sarcastic remarks: "The great revenge remains unavenged, not because you don't want to, but because you can't... It's fine, we all understand you. You go ahead and keep being an ostrich; there's no need to avenge Jian Yixin, the Jian Family won't blame you."

"Your grandfather's death doesn't matter either; he was so old anyway. It's perfect that everyone knows you're heartbroken, and while you're at it, you don't even need to look for the missing Shi Youxuan. Two birds with one stone..."

Yingzi knew that simple stimulation wouldn't work on Sheng Hanyu at all, so every sentence was a knife, and every knife stabbed right into his heart!

The housekeeper tugged at her sleeve: "Stop talking and get out. The Eldest Young Master is already in so much pain; aren't you killing him by talking like this?"

Although she and the Eldest Young Master were master and servant in name, their bond was actually like that of mother and son; no mother could watch her son suffer at a time like this.

"Get out."

Yingzi pushed the housekeeper out without a word and then closed the door from the outside.

The housekeeper tried to force her way back in, feeling an intense dislike for this poker-faced Miss Ying.

She was too cold-blooded; a young woman with not a shred of human warmth—she would definitely never get married!

"What are you doing?"

Yingzi stood guard at the door and wouldn't let her in, saying to the housekeeper: "Do you want him to sink like this forever? What he needs now isn't to be given whatever he wants, but to wake up quickly."

Sheng Hanyu came out of the Study and grabbed Yingzi, pulling her along as he walked.

Yingzi protested: "Hey, you're hurting me."

There was no reaction; Sheng Hanyu acted as if he hadn't heard, and he didn't have the slightest thought of being gentle with a woman. He only wanted to make up for the three days he had lost; he couldn't let the truth be covered up.

Presidential Suite at the Prince Hotel.

The room was filled with spring, a scene of indulgence.

The air was filled with sounds of pleasure, and it took a long time for the storm to subside!

Shi Yuke went to the bathroom to shower. Sheng Yukai lay half-reclined on the bed, still unsatisfied. He lit an after-sex cigarette, blew a smoke ring, and shouted toward the bathroom: "Hey, don't leave tonight."

He had been holding back a belly full of fire at the police station, and now that he was out, he had to vent it to his heart's content.

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Shi Yuke came out wrapped in a bath towel, smiling charmingly and speaking in a sweet, coquettish voice: "Chairman Sheng, you wouldn't be that stingy, would you? I saved you, and this is how you thank me?"

"Then tell me what you want? As long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you." Sheng Yukai stared at the woman's cleavage and swallowed his saliva, unable to control himself again.

Shi Yuke deserved the credit for his successful escape this time.

When Sheng Yukai first entered the police station, he was indeed a bit panicked and made several foolish moves in succession!

Just as he was about to be unable to hold on, Shi Yuke came to see him.

According to normal procedures, Shi Yuke shouldn't have been able to see Sheng Yukai, but the halo of being the most beautiful woman in Jiangzhou carried privileges at times, and doing things ordinary people couldn't was still possible.

She had been entrusted by Sheng Hai and Bai Xue to come in and pass on a few words.

Others didn't know the relationship between the two of them, but Bai Xue knew it clearly, and having Shi Yuke pass the message was the most appropriate choice.

Furthermore, her status as Shi Youxuan's older sister and Sheng Hanyu's sister-in-law makes it convenient for her to meet Sheng Yukai and clear up their relationship.

With her in the middle to pass messages and relay Sheng Hai's words to Sheng Yukai, she allowed him to quickly steady his position.

She also passed the situation inside to the outside, making it convenient for Sheng Hai to operate everywhere, checking for gaps and making up for omissions; thus, Sheng Yukai stayed in the police station for three days without any danger, and then he was released.

When Yuke heard him say, "As long as I can do it, I will certainly satisfy you," she smiled even more brilliantly, her tone becoming softer: "A Kai, this is what you said; a real man's word is worth a thousand pieces of gold, you must keep your promise..."

An ominous premonition welled up in Sheng Yukai's heart; by this time, he already regretted having spoken too definitively just a moment ago!

But having just finished speaking, it was not easy to immediately go back on his word, so his eyes rolled as a plan came to mind: "Stop the nonsense, just say it; as long as I can do it, I will certainly agree to you."

Yuke lunged over and pressed tightly against him, her voice so soft it could drip water: "Marry me." It was indeed without nonsense, concise and to the point.
