Chapter 939: The Clown Was Actually Me

"Look at your lack of ambition; does just this little bit of money excite you so much? If you saw real money, wouldn't you faint?" Madam Sun held a lady's cigarette between her index and middle fingers, skillfully blew a smoke ring, and crossed her legs triumphantly.

"There's even more money? How much?" The man's eyes widened, and he was almost drooling.

"How much do you want there to be?"

"One million!"

"Pah!"

The woman spat a mouthful of saliva in his face and cursed, "You useless thing, you'll be a good-for-nothing your whole life. Why was I so blind to pick you in the first place? If it weren't for me being capable, I'd be living in poverty with you forever."

"One million? Why don't you just say one hundred? The Sheng Family is the richest in Jiangzhou; they offended me, and they want to dismiss me with one million? Pah! It's not that easy."

"How much do you want?" the man asked greedily.

The woman said triumphantly, "I'm not greedy; one hundred million is enough for me."

"One hundred million?"

The man was so surprised he almost fell off his chair.

"Isn't that too much? Will they give us that much money?"

"Useless," Sun Wenwen sneered.

At such a young age, she already had quite the demeanor of her mother, and the expression on her face was exactly the same as her mother's.

"Little thing, what business is this of yours? Go back to your room and sleep. Tomorrow, Daddy will take you to eat fried chicken. Be good!"

Sun Wenwen originally wanted to retort, but upon hearing the words "fried chicken," she obediently returned to her room.

The door closed, and the woman pointed at the room and whispered, "You really aren't as good as our daughter. If it weren't for our girl this time, things would never have gone so smoothly."

"I estimate that tomorrow, or at the latest the day after, the Sheng Family will send someone to concede and apologize to us. By then, the initiative will be in our hands; won't it be whatever we say goes?"

"Will they give us one hundred million?" The man felt like he was dreaming; it felt very unreal.

The woman scoffed, "Don't worry. The Sheng Family's stock hit the limit down today, and their market value evaporated by billions. If it keeps hitting the limit down, do you think they can keep their cool? The Sheng Family's reputation is money; they won't be stingy with this little bit."

"Wife, you are truly too capable. Being able to marry you is a blessing I cultivated in my past life. I promise I will never look at another woman again and will only stick with you." The man smiled obsequiously, and his gaze toward the woman grew increasingly fervent...

The Sheng Family.

The Study.

Sheng Hanyu handed a stack of documents to his wife: "The things you wanted are all here. Is it time to close the net?"

Shi Youxuan nodded: "Mm, that woman has performed enough these past few days. Tomorrow, it's my turn to take the stage."

The next day.

Madam Sun waited from morning until noon and finally waited for someone sent by the Sheng Family, but what she got wasn't a "plea for peace," but a court summons delivered by a lawyer!

The lawyer: "Madam Sun, you are suspected of defamation, causing significant economic and reputational losses to the Sheng Family. Please stop your infringing behavior immediately and apologize publicly online, otherwise, we will see you in court."

The lawyer's attitude was firm, but it couldn't scare the woman.

She pretended to be afraid, squeezed out a few tears, and said pitifully, "You are threatening me. I'm so scared. I don't know what I did wrong to be labeled with all these charges. I didn't defame anyone; every word I said is true, and I have evidence!"

While she was saying this, she didn't forget to secretly turn on the recording function on her phone.

These little tricks might fool an average person.

But they were useless in front of a lawyer!

They specialized in this line of work; recording conversations with the opposing party wasn't done sneakily, but as standard procedure.

The lawyer took out a recording pen, placed it openly between the two of them, and explained: "Madam Sun, in order to keep our conversation open and transparent, we need to record during the conversation. You don't have any objections, do you?"

"No, no objections."

The woman felt sheepish and silently turned off her phone.

"Madam Sun, if I didn't have evidence, I wouldn't have come personally. Take a look at this."

The lawyer took a tablet out of his briefcase and pulled up a video, placing it in front of her.

"Why is there surveillance in the principal's office?" the woman exclaimed in shock, blurting it out.

She had never imagined there was surveillance in the principal's office, so she had recorded and tampered with the content of her last conversation with Shi Youxuan.

She had done this kind of thing more than once, and every time she had succeeded; it had never failed.

But she hadn't expected to fail this time. Failing wasn't the main point; the important thing was that Shi Youxuan had actually kept the surveillance video without revealing it, and had let public opinion ferment for these past few days!

But it wasn't over yet.

The lawyer was definitely doing it on purpose; he unhurriedly took another stack of A4 paper out of his briefcase and handed it over: "Madam Sun, take a look at these too."

The woman's hands began to shake. She flipped through them rapidly, and the more she saw, the more violently her hands shook.

The information was very detailed: the process of her faking an illness to get a false medical record from the hospital, buying internet trolls to stir up sentiment online to prove her case, and Mr. Sun posing as a member of the public to spread rumors and incite kind-hearted people to donate to her...

No wonder the Sheng Family hadn't made any moves these past few days; it turned out they were quietly collecting evidence.

And they had collected it very thoroughly. Everything she had done these past few days hadn't escaped the eyes of the Sheng Family. And that wasn't all; there were also over a dozen testimonies from victims of the wicked things she had done in the past!

With both human and material evidence, this counterattack was very precise!

Sweat broke out on the woman's forehead.

She knew clearly in her heart that if these were made public, everything she had said and done before would become a joke.

Still want money?

Keep dreaming.

"You, these are all forged. No one will believe these things. It's too easy for the Sheng Family to forge these things with their money and power..." The woman's eyes rolled, and with the evidence irrefutable, she began to act like a rogue.

"Since you say so, then we'll see you in court."

The lawyer put away the recording pen, stood up, and prepared to leave.

"Wait."

She called out to the lawyer: "What does Mrs. Sheng want me to do?" She wasn't stupid.

Shi Youxuan did not go directly to the court to sue her, but instead had a Lüshi take the evidence to her door, simply because she did not want to blow the matter out of proportion.

At first, she was too nervous, which is why she wanted to deny it.

Now that she saw denying it was useless, her mind turned, and she immediately softened her stance!

The Lüshi returned: "It's very simple; just clarify things in the same way you smeared the Sheng Family online."

"Take these things, and read them out personally when you make the clarification."

The woman:...

The sweat on her head broke out even more.

She could not clarify.

This kind of thing absolutely could not be done!

If she admitted online that she had framed Shi Youxuan, those netizens would be able to curse her to death!

What was fatal was that the people who donated to her all knew her home address; what if they demanded their money back?

Although she had the child say it nicely, claiming that they would definitely "repay" it in the future, she had never intended to repay it at all!

She also had no names or amounts for the donors.

If... no, it was certain that someone would come to claim the money falsely.

Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice; the woman regretted her actions back then!
