From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of life

Meanwhile, having already quietly arrived outside the door, I could hear everything that was happening inside the room.

Listening to Fang Heng's panicked and collapsing explanations, and Fang Renjie's angry rebukes filled with disappointment.

The frustration that had been building up in my heart for days finally dissipated a little.

The time has come.

I strode forward, raised my hand and pounded on the door, the knocking urgent and loud, pretending to be anxious and furious as I rushed over.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

"Fang Heng! Open the door! Open the door for me!"

"Let my girlfriend out! You dare to detain her without permission! If you don't open the door, I'll call the police immediately!"

The noise inside the room suddenly stopped.

A few seconds later, the door was quickly pulled open.

The person who opened the door was Fang Renjie, whose face was cold and stern.

He looked at me, who had suddenly appeared at the door, my face full of anxiety and anger, with a hint of surprise and confusion.

Without pausing for a moment, I rushed into the room and immediately looked at Su Qing, who was fast asleep on the bed.

Even though I calmly planned the whole process and was mentally prepared.

Seeing her so defenseless, disheveled, and vulnerable still felt like a sharp blade piercing his heart, sending waves of pain through his entire body.

She should have been carefree and glamorous, but because of me, she has repeatedly fallen into danger and been so despicable in her schemes.

My gaze swept over Fang Heng, who was kneeling on the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

He looked up at me, his eyes devoid of all arrogance and pride, leaving only overwhelming malice and hatred.

He stared at me intently, as if he wanted to devour me alive.

He knew in his heart that his respectable image throughout his life had been ruined today, ruined by my scheme.

But so what?

All the underhanded schemes he plotted against me, the despicable coercion he inflicted on Su Qing, and all the attempts he made to destroy us.

Today, I'm simply returning the favor exactly as it was.

I rushed to the bedside, bent down, and gently touched the back of Su Qing's hand. My anxiety and anger surged up instantly.

"Su Qing? Su Qing, wake up! Can you hear me? Don't scare me..."

I called out urgently, over and over again.

The person on the bed kept their eyes closed, breathing slowly but showing no signs of waking up, completely trapped in a deathly silence of sleep.

At that moment, heartache mixed with anger surged through my veins and rushed to the top of my head.

I turned my head sharply, my eyes bloodshot, and stared intently at Fang Heng, who was kneeling on the ground in a disheveled state not far away.

Long-suppressed emotions erupted instantly, and he roared at him angrily:

"Fang Heng! What exactly did you do to her?!"

I strode forward, took two steps to stand in front of him, grabbed his collar, and pulled him up from the ground.

But I knew perfectly well that this was a trap he had set.

I absolutely cannot hit him. If I lose control and throw a punch, all the blame will be reversed, and he will seize on it and bite back.

If I'm in the right, I'll become unreasonable, and I'll be completely put on the defensive.

So I gripped his collar tightly, my chest heaving violently, my face contorted with rage, my eyes bloodshot as I nearly roared:

"You bastard! Speak up! Why did she become like this! What despicable things have you done?!"

Fang Heng was gripped so tightly by me that he could hardly breathe, and his neck was constricted by my collar. He struggled and twisted his body, trying to push me away, but he couldn't break free at all.

He glared at me with a sinister look on his face, lowered his voice, and gritted his teeth as he forced out a sentence:

"Lin Ye, I never realized you were so shrewd and resourceful."

Only now has he realized that this wasn't my helpless plea for mercy at all, but rather a trap I set for him.

At this moment, Fang Renjie walked over quickly.

He suppressed his anger and panic, looked at me holding Fang Heng by the collar, and forced himself to keep his voice steady as he said:

"Young man, let go first. Communicate properly; there's no need for a physical confrontation."

I turned my head sharply and glared at him.

He then turned his gaze back to Fang Heng, gritting his teeth as he said, "Speak properly? My girlfriend has been harmed by your son and is lying unconscious in bed. You're telling me how you're going to speak properly?"

I deliberately raised my voice, my tone was furious, and I looked like I was about to fight to the death at any moment.

But I was perfectly clear-headed.

From the moment I entered, I noticed Fang Heng's gaze.

He stared at me with a gloomy look, a mixture of provocation and expectation.

He was just waiting for me to lose control, waiting for me to take action, waiting for me to ruin my future.

I can't fall for his tricks.

I still gripped his collar with one hand, while the other hand reached into my pocket for my phone. I quickly opened the dial pad and said coldly:

"There's nothing to talk about. Just call the police and let them explain things to you!"

Just as I was about to press the dial button, Fang Renjie's expression tightened instantly, and he quickly stopped me:

"Young man, calm down and listen to me."

I turned around and retorted fiercely, my tone filled with anger and grievance, putting on a perfect performance:

"How can I stay calm? If it were you, and your sweetheart was drugged and knocked unconscious in a strange room, could you stay calm?!"

"I know your Fang family is rich and powerful, and you have absolute control over Jiangzhou!"

My gaze sharpened as I stared intently at him, and I continued, "But I'm telling you this now: you either kill me right here, or this matter will not be easily resolved!"

I am well aware of the current situation.

If the victim today were an ordinary girl, with the Fang family's connections and methods, they could easily suppress the news and quietly cover it up.

But Su Qing is the daughter of the Su family, a family that has been on good terms with the Fang family for generations.

Once the police are notified and a case is filed, the evidence will be conclusive and the matter will escalate. Not only will Fang Heng be disgraced, but the reputation, connections, and business partnerships of the entire Fang family will also collapse completely.

This is a consequence that the Fang family absolutely cannot afford.

The more agitated I became and the more determined I was to call the police, the more panicked and passive Fang Renjie became.

Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, Fang Renjie's face darkened completely.

He stopped trying to reason with me, turned to look at Fang Heng, who was still full of defiance, and slapped him hard across the face.

"You scoundrel! Apologize to him right now!"

The slap was powerful, a punishment born of anger at his lack of self-respect.

Fang Heng's face instantly became red and swollen, and blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He probably wanted to tear me to pieces, but in front of his furious father, he dared not disobey in the slightest and could only suppress his anger.

His throat moved with difficulty, filled with humiliation and resentment, and he spoke in a very perfunctory manner:

"I'm...I'm sorry, it's my fault. Please don't call the police. I'm willing to bear all the consequences and accept all punishment."

I snorted coldly, looked at him with icy eyes, and said, "Your apology is worthless. It's useless to talk to me. Go talk to the police."

After saying that, I pressed the three numbers 110 without hesitation, and the screen remained on the dial pad.

Seeing this, Fang Renjie panicked completely, losing all composure. He quickly stepped forward, his voice filled with pleading:

"Young man, let's get straight to the point and talk this out in private. This was indeed my son's fault; I had no prior knowledge of it. Can you put down your phone and calm down?"

My eyes were still red, and I said defiantly, "Calm down? I really can't calm down. If it were your wife or your daughter lying here, could you still stand here calmly and tell me to calm down?"
