Third Master, please restrain yourself. Our marriage is a marriage of convenience.

This was the first time she had used this automatic alarm device since it was developed.

She was also quite unsure of herself.

She didn't even dare to think about what would happen to her if she failed.

Fortunately, fate was on her side.

Since she had no one backing her, she decided to rely on herself.

Thinking of this, Pei Jinhe asked Shen Huaiyu with a suspicious look, "Who are they? Why are they arresting me?"

She always felt that things weren't that simple.

Shen Huaiyu's Adam's apple bobbed, his tone full of apology: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for dragging you into this."

Pei Jinhe's suspicions were now completely confirmed.

This matter seems to be inextricably linked to Shen Youcheng.

This person is truly despicable and shameless!

Unable to touch Shen Huaiyu, they decided to target her instead.

Shen Huaiyu's eyes were cold and fierce, filled with an icy chill: "Don't worry, I will avenge you."

Pei Jinhe is his wife in name only, and she's not someone that just anyone can bully!

……

After sending Pei Jinhe to Lanyuan, Shen Huaiyu left without even eating.

Lanting Manor.

The basement was gloomy and chilling, with a faint smell of blood permeating the air. The torture instruments hanging on the wall reflected a cold, eerie light in the lamplight, sending chills down one's spine.

"Third Master, the person has been brought back."

Two subordinates dressed in black roughly threw the woman to the ground.

Xu Yunrou knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

The man sitting in the main seat exuded a chilling aura. His dark phoenix eyes were unfathomable, and the crimson at the corners of his eyes added a touch of bloodthirsty ruthlessness, as if the Grim Reaper had descended, bringing endless despair and slaughter.

Xu Yunrou knelt on the ground, looking up at him, her nails digging deep into her flesh. She feigned ignorance and asked, "Mr. Shen... why are you grabbing me?"

She was lying on the sofa applying a face mask, waiting for the driver to report on Pei Jinhe's miserable condition.

Her original intention was to have them record videos while they were playing with Pei Jinhe.

With this video in hand, Pei Jinhe would have to obey her if she didn't want her indecent photos to be all over the place.

This way, she could threaten Pei Jinhe and Shen Huaiyu into divorcing.

Instead of receiving the photos, a group of men in black broke down the door, knocked her unconscious, and dumped her there.

Has her plan been exposed?

Thinking of this, Xu Yunrou shrank back in fear.

Pei Jinhe was just an insignificant adopted daughter, and there was no affection between the two of them. Moreover, her family and the Shen family had some degree of kinship.

She refused to believe that Shen Huaiyu would disregard the friendship between their two families for a wife he had no feelings for.

Shen Huaiyu sat with an air of noble languor, his cold, sharp eyes fixed on her, a chilling smile twisting his lips: "Don't you know what you've done?"

Xu Yunrou's already pale face turned deathly white in an instant. She screamed hoarsely, "I didn't do anything! I'm innocent!"

Unexpectedly, Shen Huaiyu actually stood up for Pei Jinhe!

Why should Pei Jinhe, a mere adopted daughter, be able to receive Shen Huaiyu's protection?

This is not fair!

That's so unfair!

Shen Huaiyu's cold features hardened slightly, his dark pupils suppressing a sinister ruthlessness: "Whether you are innocent or not is not important. What is important is that I am convinced that you did it, and besides, you are not innocent."

Shen Feng stepped forward and threw the evidence in his hand directly at Xu Yunrou.

The sharp edge of the paper grazed Xu Yunrou's cheek, causing a stinging sensation.

The document clearly states the exact time Xu Yunrou wired money to the driver, as well as the contents of her conversations with Shen Youcheng and the driver, all without missing a single word.

Fearing that the matter would be exposed and she would be implicated, she randomly borrowed a passerby's phone to call the driver.

Fearing she might deny it, Shen Feng played back the contents of their phone call.

Hearing her own voice clearly rang out, Xu Yunrou was speechless and finally became afraid. Large tears streamed down her face as she cried, her face streaked with tears.

She climbed forward and grabbed Shen Huaiyu's trouser leg: "Mr. Shen, I just like you so much. You don't like Pei Jinhe, so why can't you marry me? Am I, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Xu family, not even as good as an adopted daughter?"

Before her hand could even touch Shen Huaiyu, he kicked it away, and his icy voice followed: "You're not even worth a single hair on her head. To compare yourself to her is an insult to her."

Xu Yunrou fell to the ground in a disheveled state, her eyes filled with deep fear, hatred, and resentment.

Why should I?!

What's so great about Pei Jinhe?

Why should she be Shen Huaiyu's wife?!

Mrs. Shen's position should have been hers!

Shen Huaiyu slowly stood up. The man was tall and slender, with a noble and arrogant air. He turned his gaze to Shen Feng behind him: "Get rid of her. Don't let her get her too easily."

His voice was calm and without any inflection, as if he were dealing not with a living person, but with an insignificant ant.

Xu Yunrou's face turned deathly pale instantly, and her whole body trembled like a leaf.

Although outsiders say that Shen Huaiyu is ruthless and cold-blooded, she has never witnessed it with her own eyes.

Hearing such bloody and cruel words come from his mouth now, I truly understand the brutality and violence of men.

Xu Yunrou cried out in despair, "President Shen! I was wrong! Please forgive me! I'll never do it again!"

Shen Huaiyu walked past her without even glancing at her, his voice, laced with cruelty and ruthlessness, drifting down: "Since you know you're wrong, then pay the price for your mistakes."

As soon as she finished speaking, two subordinates approached Xu Yunrou step by step with syringes in their hands.

Seeing the scarlet liquid in the syringe, Xu Yunrou shrank back repeatedly, tears streaming down her face, terrified out of her wits.

Someone stepped forward and pressed down on her shoulders, rendering her unable to move.

Another person skillfully inserted a needle into a vein in her neck, and the cold liquid flowed through her body.

Two minutes later, Xu Yunrou's agonizing screams echoed from the basement. She was writhing on the floor in agony, feeling as if her bones were being shattered inch by inch, making her life a living hell.

"Shen Huaiyu! You and Pei Jinhe will get your comeuppance! I curse you both to a horrible death!"

Shen Huaiyu walked towards the exit of the basement, shutting out all the screams and curses.

The cool moonlight shone on the man's tall and imposing body. His deep-set eyes and handsome features made him look like a bewitching fox spirit, breathtakingly beautiful.

But the words that came out were extremely ruthless: "The Xu family should also be removed from the list of families in Kyoto."

Shen Feng, standing behind him, was terrified.

It's been a long time since we've seen Third Master make a move.

This attack was as bloody as ever.

"Where is Shen Youcheng?" Shen Huaiyu asked.
