What if he woke up and remembered nothing but this?
Hearing her call him Ah Jin, Sheng Chenjin’s heart skipped a beat, beating uncontrollably fast.
To show his shamelessness, he quickly turned his head, blocked Shi Xinxin’s attempt to push him away, and kissed her lips unexpectedly.
Sheng Chenjin pulled away quickly.
Shi Xinxin had long been fed up with his demeanor.
"Sheng Chenjin, how many times has this happened?!"
"If you do this without my permission, I will never like you!"
Shi Xinxin accused him loudly, not seeing any problem with her threat. After all, this was the silly Sheng Chenjin, and she didn’t need to reason with him anymore.
Whoever was more unreasonable and shameless would win.
However, she had clearly underestimated Sheng Chenjin’s level of shamelessness.
"Then, if I do this with your permission, would you like me?"
If Bai Feng were here, seeing this scene, his jaw would have dropped to outer space.
What childish things was their CEO doing? Could he really win over his wife like this?
Bai Feng: If you have the guts, bring out that domineering CEO aura of yours, the one that throws money at people!
Sheng Chenjin knew that Shi Xinxin was not an ordinary woman. For ordinary women, a little money and a few gifts would suffice to make them happy.
But Shi Xinxin wasn't short of money. She might even throw money at him and say, "Here are a few hundred million, leave me alone."
That was also possible.
Shi Xinxin was left speechless by his retort.
Indeed, when it came to thick skin, she was still no match for Sheng Chenjin’s shamelessness.
Thinking this, her mood improved significantly, and she decided not to argue with Sheng Chenjin anymore.
Seeing her expression suddenly change, Sheng Chenjin frowned. What was wrong again? Had he missed some important plot point?
Shi Xinxin got up and scurried out of the room to cook and fill her stomach.
This left Sheng Chenjin sprawled on the bed, not knowing what to do.
Sheng Chenjin decided to take a nap. This couldn't go on; his pretense would eventually be exposed.
When Shi Xinxin came back, he would pretend to wake up slowly and resume his cold, domineering demeanor.
...
Before going to see Zhu Guo, Feng Yu went to Shi Xinxin's company to retrieve his laptop.
It contained important data he had left behind to protect Shi Xinxin.
He had thought about it for a long time, unsure if his unilateral decision would be good or bad for Shi Xinxin.
From the moment Shi Xinxin felt that Zhu Guo was familiar, Feng Yu had been paying attention.
Could it be that Shi Xinxin and Zhu Guo were old acquaintances?
Later, through Shi Xinxin's words, he gradually pieced together the entanglement.
It turned out that Shi Xinxin had once saved Zhu Guo.
If even the person who truly saved him couldn't recognize him, then he was truly poor at discerning people.
However, he couldn't rule out the possibility that the blind Zhu Guo had been deceived, and Shi Xinxin's master was a crucial clue.
After all, only her master knew about the incident when Shi Xinxin saved Zhu Guo.
He tried to find people who had followed Zhu Guo for many years, hoping to confirm the details of Zhu Guo's eye injury years ago.
But unfortunately, those who knew something about the matter back then had mysteriously disappeared.
With these complex thoughts, Feng Yu went to meet Zhu Guo.
He glanced at his watch; there were still half an hour before their scheduled meeting.
In front of Zhu Guo's door, Feng Yu tiptoed, faintly hearing voices from inside the room.
"Elder Feng?"
Zhu Guo's cautious voice could be heard.
Feng Yu paused, moved closer to the door crack, and listened to the conversation.
Zhu Guo was on the phone.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, I am Zhu Guo. It's been a long time. How have you been recently?"
Feng Yu frowned. He had never heard Zhu Guo speak in such a fawning, subservient tone.
"Ah... the wine you gave me, I was planning to give it to that girl that day. Just as she was about to drink it, that kid from the Sheng family blocked it."
"She has many people around her, and their identities seem very noble. After that failure, I dared not act rashly again."
He stammered, feeling that he had failed Elder Feng's expectations.
Feng Yu outside the door was shocked. No wonder sister seemed hesitant when drinking; she had already detected something was wrong.
"That wine could probably make that kid unconscious for several days and nights. During this time, I can make a move. Don't worry, I will teach that girl a good lesson, and when she has nowhere else to turn, she will definitely come back to you."
Feng Yu knitted his brows.
That wine was actually given by Elder Feng? Why would Elder Feng treat his own disciple like this?
Why was he targeting Shi Xinxin's company?
"Elder Feng, your plan is truly brilliant."
"I will definitely handle it well."
"Elder Feng, don't worry, I won't fail again."
Zhu Guo seemed about to say more when the other party hung up.
Feng Yu held his breath, checked his watch; there were two minutes left.
He waited for two minutes and then, with measured steps, walked away, pretending to be in a hurry as he approached the door.
He knocked.
"Enter."
"Sect Leader."
Feng Yu skillfully knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at Zhu Guo.
"Feng Yu, you've been with me for quite some time."
"There are some things I think you should know how to do."
"How much of Shi Xinxin's background have you investigated?"
His sharp gaze fell on Feng Yu.
"This is the information I've collected about Shi Xinxin. Please review it, Sect Leader."
Feng Yu took out the computer from his embrace and showed Zhu Guo the document he had prepared earlier.
In short, all of Shi Xinxin's designs were modified based on Sheng Chenjin's wishes.
"Very good. Although this move failed, it's good to know that girl has no real talent. If the Sheng family's backing collapses, she'll truly have no choice but to surrender."
Zhu Guo grinned, his smile sinister, the scar on his face making him look even more ferocious.
Feng Yu knew that Zhu Guo had been bewitched by Elder Feng and was now completely under his control.
It seemed that Zhu Guo would focus all his attention on dealing with Sheng Chenjin during this period, leaving him no time for Shi Xinxin. This would give Shi Xinxin a chance to breathe.
"Do a good job. Two hundred thousand yuan has already been transferred to your card. Keep an eye on Shi Xinxin for me."
With that, he waved Feng Yu away, signaling that his business here was done.
Feng Yu nodded and retreated silently.
Feng Yu walked to the edge of Zhu Guo's sight. Feeling no longer observed, he looked around the dark room with a grim expression.
How many innocent people who were entangled in worldly disputes due to money had been imprisoned here?
It was filthy and messy, like a sunless rat hole, unfit for the light.
He closed his eyes. It seemed that since Shi Xinxin had recognized him, he had become accustomed to such a warm and harmonious life. He had almost forgotten that he was once a part of this filthy place.
