After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

Gu Ziming stood on the curb at the entrance of the detention center, looking at the phone in his hand with a cracked screen and only five percent battery left.

The screen was covered with text messages demanding repayment of debts, as well as notifications that his former cronies had blocked him.

His face, which was once quite handsome and charming, captivating countless young women, was now unkempt, with sunken eyes, sallow skin, and bloodshot veins.

The haute couture suit he was wearing, which was originally worth tens of thousands of yuan, was now wrinkled and emitting an indescribable sour smell, making him look exactly like a young man who had been transformed into a homeless person.

"Jiang Ye... Shen Qinghan... you two scoundrels! You've ruined me so badly!"

Gu Ziming gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, and a low, desperate, and angry growl escaped his throat.

He suffered humiliation during his time in the detention center.

They ate boiled cabbage, slept on hard beds, and were bossed around by their cellmates. They even had to be mindful of others' attitudes when going to the toilet.

This feeling of falling from heaven to hell completely distorted his mind.

People who are desperate and have nowhere to turn are the most terrifying.

Because those who have nothing to lose are never afraid of those who have something to wear!

Gu Ziming is now a complete madman, with only one thought in his mind: make money! Make money to fill the hole! Make money to make a comeback!

Anyone who makes his life difficult will be dragged down to the deepest hell with him!

He abruptly opened his phone's photo album, his fingers trembling as he tapped on a picture, staring intently at the screen.

That's Shen Qinghan's ultrasound report showing she's pregnant!

"The Shen family... Yes! I still have the Shen family as my ATM! That bitch Shen Qinghan is carrying my child!"

Gu Ziming's lips suddenly twitched upwards, forming an extremely twisted and ferocious sneer, his eyes flashing with insane greed.

He flagged down a dilapidated taxi, yanked open the door, and climbed inside.

"Master, to the Shen family mansion! Drive faster!"

At this very moment, the Shen family mansion was shrouded in gloom and the oppressive atmosphere made it hard to breathe.

Old Mrs. Shen, leaning on the dragon-headed cane that symbolized the family's authority, sat dejectedly in the grand chair in the center of the hall, sighing incessantly.

The Shen family's business has recently plummeted, suffering greatly as a result of the Gu family's actions, with several major projects falling through.

Shen Qinghan, on the other hand, curled up on the leather sofa next to her like a puppet who had lost its soul.

Her eyes were swollen and red like walnuts, her hair was messy, and she no longer had the aloof and pure goddess demeanor she used to have.

"Bang--!!!"

A loud bang suddenly shattered the deathly silence of the hall!

The heavy solid wood door of the Shen family's house was kicked open violently and slammed against the wall with a painful groan.

Gu Ziming, exuding the chill and ferocity of the outside world, swaggered in like a vengeful ghost.

"Oh my, they're all here? Perfect, saves me the trouble of looking for them one by one!"

Gu Ziming chuckled sarcastically, rubbing his hands together as he walked straight to the center of the hall.

He didn't even glance at Old Madam Shen, but plopped down on the million-dollar rosewood tea table in the Shen family home and crossed his legs.

"Gu Ziming! You beast! How dare you come to our house?!"

When Old Mrs. Shen saw the culprit who had caused so much trouble for the Shen family, she was so angry that she trembled all over and pointed at Gu Ziming's nose, cursing him loudly.

"Where are the security guards?! Where the hell are they?! Throw this jinx out of here with sticks!"

"Save your energy, old woman! Don't waste your breath!"

Gu Ziming slammed his hand on the coffee table, causing the purple clay teaware on it to rattle and spill tea all over the floor.

"Your Shen family is in dire straits right now, barely able to save yourselves. You've even been three months behind on the security guards' wages, haven't you? When I came in just now, those guards didn't even dare to stop me!"

"What are you trying to prove, acting like some kind of wealthy old lady? Do you really think you're still the Empress Dowager you used to be?"

When Shen Qinghan saw Gu Ziming's withered and fierce face, she trembled with fear.

She instinctively shrank into the corner of the sofa, tightly protecting her stomach with both hands.

"Zi Mo...you...you released him? What do you want to do?" Shen Qinghan's voice trembled, filled with deep fear.

"What do I want? I'm here to find my dear fiancée and my dear mother-in-law, of course, to ask for some dowry!"

Gu Ziming pulled a crumpled A4 sheet of paper from the pocket of his smelly suit and slammed it onto the coffee table.

That was an enlarged copy of an ultrasound report!

Shen Qinghan's name, along with her gestational age and an image of the fetus, were clearly printed on it!

"Open your dog eyes and look carefully! This is irrefutable proof that your eldest daughter of the Shen family is pregnant with my Gu family's child!"

Gu Ziming's eyes were bloodshot, like a gambler who had lost everything and was ready to fight to the death, as he roared madly.

"I'm giving you two choices!"

"First, immediately inject 50 million into my Gu Group's account! Help me through this crisis and fill the financial hole!"

"Secondly, if you don't pay me, I'll go out and find the media right now! I'll find the most gossipy paparazzi!"

"I'm going to expose everything about Shen Qinghan—she got pregnant with my child, tried to break off the engagement, and even went and seduced her ex-husband Jiang Ye! Everything about her is out in the open!"

"I want everyone in Hanzhou to see that your eldest daughter of the Shen family, who appears to be a pure and innocent goddess on the surface, is actually a promiscuous and fickle woman behind the scenes!"

"I'll make sure your Shen family is utterly disgraced, your stock price plummets, and you're so badly targeted that people point fingers and spit on you behind your backs!"

crazy!

Totally crazy!

Gu Ziming's words were like a bombshell, exploding in the Shen family's hall and leaving everyone dizzy!

Grandma Shen felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, a buzzing sound in her head, and her blood pressure instantly soared to 220.

She clutched her chest, gasping for breath, and nearly coughed up blood and died on the spot.

"You...you're shameless! This is blatant extortion! I'm calling the police to arrest you!" Old Mrs. Shen pointed her cane at Gu Ziming, her fingers trembling violently.

"Call the police? Sure! Go ahead and call 110 right now!"

Gu Ziming spread his hands, tilted his head back, and put on a shameless face, like a dead pig that doesn't care about boiling water.

"Anyway, I have nothing now, just a worthless life! The barefoot aren't afraid of those wearing shoes!"

"At worst, you can go to jail for a few more years! But can your Shen family afford to lose face like this? Does Shen Qinghan even want to get married in the future?"

"Fifty million to buy the reputation of your Shen family and to clear Shen Qinghan's name. Isn't that a good deal?"

Gu Ziming stood up, walked up to Shen Qinghan, looked down at her, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.

"Qinghan, my dear wife, you wouldn't want our child to be born with the stigma of being an illegitimate child, would you?"

"I'm giving you only three days! If you don't reach 50 million by then, we'll see each other on the trending topics! We'll all die together, and nobody will get away with it!"

After saying that, Gu Ziming laughed wildly twice. The laughter echoed in the empty hall, as piercing as an owl's cry.

He turned around and swaggered out of the Shen family's gate, leaving behind an extremely arrogant back view.

Only the Shen family grandfather and grandson were left standing bewildered in the wind, and the hall was deathly silent.

"What a tragedy! What a tragedy! How could my Shen family have fallen into such a predicament!"
