You got your marriage certificate and then abandoned me? I'll feed the richest woman in the wor

The off-road vehicle sped along the winding mountain road.

The wheels rolled over the wet, slippery road, creating a series of ear-piercing splashes of water.

Outside the car window, dark clouds loomed overhead, and torrential rain poured down.

Inside the train carriage.

Shen Wanzhou clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest.

The knuckles turned bluish-white from excessive force.

Cold sweat trickled down her forehead, soaking the stray hairs at her temples.

The terror of that life-or-death moment still lingered in those beautiful peach blossom eyes.

But she didn't scream or cry.

She just bit her lower lip, trying not to make any noise that might affect Chen Yuan's driving.

Chen Yuan freed his right hand and placed his large palm over her cold hand.

The warm touch seeped into the skin's texture.

"It's alright now."

His voice was deep and steady, like a majestic mountain that blocked out all the wind and rain.

"With me here, no one can touch you."

Shen Wanzhou grasped two of his fingers with her other hand.

Her fingertips trembled slightly.

She leaned her head back in the seat, her eyes never leaving the man beside her for even a second.

Half an hour later.

A black, bulletproof SUV, damp with sweat, came to a steady stop in the VIP underground parking garage of Jianghai Central Hospital.

The blinding incandescent light shone on the car body.

Eagle, accompanied by four fully armed bodyguards, was already waiting at the elevator entrance.

"Mr. Chen, the old man is in the sterile ICU ward on the top floor."

Eagle strode forward and opened the passenger door.

"We've already deployed our people around here; not even a fly can get in."

Chen Yuan nodded, without saying anything more.

He took Shen Wanzhou's hand and strode into the private elevator.

The metal door slowly closed.

The elevator goes directly to the top floor.

The corridor was filled with the pungent smell of Lysol.

Several collateral relatives of the Shen family tycoon were gathered outside the emergency room.

They whispered amongst themselves, their faces betraying undisguised calculation.

Upon seeing Shen Wanzhou appear, those people immediately shut up.

A tentative glint flashed in his eyes.

Shen Wanzhou's shoulders hunched slightly; her social anxiety instincts made her subconsciously want to avoid those gazes.

Chen Yuan pulled her behind him.

His tall stature blocked those malicious gazes.

He gave the group a cold glance.

The murderous aura emanating from his very bones caused several distant relatives to involuntarily take a half-step back.

No one dared to provoke him at this critical juncture.

"eagle."

Chen Yuan stopped and turned his head to give the order.

"You and your men will guard the ward entrance."

"Apart from the doctor and Wanzhou, anyone who dares to take a step closer will have their legs broken and be thrown out."

The eagle stood at attention, its rough voice echoing through the corridor.

"clear!"

Shen Wanzhou was led by a nurse into a sterile passage to visit the old man.

Chen Yuan did not follow them inside.

He turned around and walked steadily toward the rooftop of the hospital.

Push open the heavy fire door.

A strong wind, mixed with cold rain, suddenly hit us in the face.

The wind made the hem of his black trench coat flutter loudly.

Chen Yuan stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking down at the bustling city below.

The neon lights flickered in the rain, like a giant, greedy spider web.

He took out the specially made encrypted phone.

The screen glowed with a pale blue light in the dim sky.

My fingers flew across the keyboard as I dialed a number.

"Brother Yuan."

The voice of Fatty Wang Kai came from the other end of the phone.

The background noise was filled with the frantic clatter of keyboards.

"All of Xingchen Venture Capital's funds are in place."

"Chu Feng has also opened up all the channels on the dark web, and can enter the fray at any time."

Chen Yuan's eyes were as cold as ice.

There was no temperature at all.

The ambush on the mountain road just now had crossed the line that he absolutely could not tolerate.

Since Shen Tiancheng is willing to risk his life.

Then he would use the profits to eradicate these malignant tumors within the Shen family, completely and thoroughly.

"Let's do it."

Chen Yuan's voice was deep and carried a sense of overwhelming pressure.

"Short all three privately held companies under Shen Tiancheng's name."

"No matter how many sell orders he places, leverage them all tenfold to drive the price down to the daily limit."

"I want these three companies to become worthless junk before the market opens tomorrow."

Wang Kai gasped on the other end of the phone.

Shorting with 10x leverage is like chewing up the opponent's bones and flesh and swallowing them whole.

"Understood, Brother Yuan, the funds have been channeled."

Chen Yuan did not hang up the phone and continued to issue instructions.

"Let Xiao Liu come in."

Three seconds later, the crisp sound of Xiao Liu typing on a mechanical keyboard came through the channel.

"Boss, I'm here."

The boy's voice was filled with a bloodthirsty excitement.

"Record all overseas accounts used by Shen Tiancheng to transfer assets and launder money over the past five years."

"Package it into an unalterable encrypted file."

"Submit directly to the highest-level internal email address of the Jianghai City Economic Crime Investigation Bureau."

"At the same time, cut off the network transaction gateways for all his bank accounts."

"Shut down all the identity information systems that allow him to buy plane and ship tickets."

Chen Yuan faced the cold wind, letting the raindrops hit his face.

A palpable killing intent surged within his dark eyes.

"Since he likes to court death, then I'll reshuffle the entire Shen family."

"I want him to be trapped in Jianghai City like a rat, unable to escape."

Xiao Liu let out a cheer in the channel.

"Roger that, boss! Ghost base station fully activated. Lock down all his digital identities within five minutes!"

All instructions have been issued.

This is the terrifying dominance that emerges when Star Ventures and the dark web combine.

No face-to-face combat is required.

In the silent digital world, a one-sided, bloody massacre has begun.

Chen Yuan hung up the phone.

My fingertip rests on a confirmation button on the phone screen.

The wind on the rooftop is getting stronger.

The distant rumble of thunder could be heard faintly.

He could almost see Shen Tiancheng in the basement, going crazy in the face of collapsing assets.

This is a venomous snake that hides in the shadows and may bite back at any time.

We absolutely cannot give him any more room to breathe.

The most brutal method must be used: physical excision.

Only in this way.

Only then can the girl downstairs, who has just found a little sense of security, sleep soundly.

Standing in the cold wind on the hospital rooftop, Chen Yuan pressed the send button: "Before midnight tonight, I want Shen Tiancheng to be unable to transfer a single penny of cash from his account."
