Shen Ye looked coldly at Huo Ruoci and said, “Do you think I’m a fool, or do you consider yourself the smartest person in the world, thinking you can deceive me?”

Huo Ruoci’s face stiffened as she stared at Shen Ye with resentment.

If it weren’t for Shen Ye’s interference, she would have slowly gained control over Song Chu. She wouldn’t have ended up standing here, humiliated by Shen Ye.

Unfortunately, Shen Ye was too powerful. Even though she despised him at this moment, she couldn’t do anything to him.

She could only hope that Song Chu would continue to protect her and that the Taoist priest would come to her rescue.

Shen Ye could naturally see her thoughts and smiled faintly. “Your little Taoist priest won’t come.”

Huo Ruoci was taken aback.

Shen Ye continued, “Did he tell you he would go back and find his master to save you? In reality, he was scared when he heard my name and simply abandoned you and your son and ran away…”

“No, I don’t believe it!” Huo Ruoci screamed.

Song Chu, seeing her intense reaction, had an even uglier expression on his face.

He had also seen that little Taoist priest before. He looked young and handsome. When Huo Ruoci brought the Taoist priest to him, he never imagined that these two would betray him like this…

 

AD

Shen Ye sat down in a chair and gestured for Xu Sisi and Xu Ce to sit as well. He said, “Once the police arrive, we’ll leave.”

Huo Ruoci realized the consequences of her actions. Once she was arrested by the police, she would definitely be sentenced.

With a jolt, she quickly grabbed Song Chu’s arm and sobbed, “President Song, I was wrong… I love you. I was forced by the Taoist priest… You know how powerful he is…”

Song Chu stared coldly at her and said, “So you’ve been taking me for a fool.”

Huo Ruoci froze. She had never seen this cold side of Song Chu before. In the past, as long as she beckoned, Song Chu would listen to her…

She suddenly felt a sense of panic and tried to grab Song Chu’s wrist, but he shook her off.

As the two of them struggled, the police arrived quickly.

Shen Ye looked at Song Chu and said, “Handle the rest yourself.”

 

AD

Song Chu was already deeply hurt by Huo Ruoci and, of course, he wouldn’t show any mercy to her anymore. He nodded in agreement, “Master Shen, thank you. Once everything is settled, I will express my gratitude to you.”

Shen Ye smiled slightly, “There’s no need for gratitude. I’m afraid you wouldn’t have anything to offer.”

Song Chu didn’t quite understand his meaning.

The next moment, the office door was pushed open, and his wife entered with his two older brothers and a group of bodyguards.

Song Chu: “…”

Shen Ye stood up, patted Song Chu’s shoulder, and said, “I have only one request for you: publicly apologize to Chen Zi on behalf of the company. As for other matters, you can handle them with your wife and Huo Ruoci.”

Song Chu knew things had gone bad the moment his wife and two older brothers barged in.

At this moment, he was in a state of despair and couldn’t help but plead with Shen Ye, “Master Shen, can you… help me once more?”

Shen Ye glanced at him and said, “Do you want me to help you deal with your wife?”

Song Chu hesitated for a moment and didn’t deny it.

 

AD

Shen Ye flatly refused, “You helped me before, and I’ve already exposed Huo Ruoci’s true face. We’re even now, and I won’t help you again.”

Song Chu felt disappointed and lowered his head.

Shen Ye no longer paid attention to him and turned to Xu Sisi and Xu Ce, saying, “Let’s go.”

As they passed by Song Chu’s wife, she nodded at him lightly and said, “Master Shen, thank you.”

Shen Ye glanced at her and said, “I’m not doing it for you, but for Song Chu.”

For Song Chu, being controlled by his wife was still better than being deceived by Huo Ruoci and losing all his assets.

When they reached the entrance, Shen Ye suddenly remembered something and looked at Huo Ruoci, who was still clinging to Song Chu and acting spoiled, and asked, “By the way, isn’t your younger sister also working in the company?”

Huo Ruoci froze.

Shen Ye didn’t say anything more and left with Xu Sisi and Xu Ce.

Once they were in the elevator, Xu Sisi couldn’t help but ask, “What happened to Huo Ruoci’s sister? Did she also participate in transferring the assets?”

“Not really,” Shen Ye said with a mysterious expression. “But the main reason I came to the company was for her sister.”

Now both Xu Sisi and Xu Ce were curious.

Shen Ye had just told Song Chu that he came to the company to help him find the accounts, but now he was saying it was for Huo Ruoci’s sister?

Shen Ye didn’t explain further. When the elevator reached the first-floor lobby, he walked directly toward the security room on the left side of the entrance.

Xu Sisi and Xu Ce exchanged glances and quickly followed him.

 

AD

There were several security guards drinking tea and chatting in the security room.

Shen Ye’s gaze fell on one of the young men and said, “Your name is Zhao Wen, right? Can you come out for a moment? I have something to discuss with you.”

Zhao Wen looked surprised and looked at Shen Ye, “You… Are you Master Shen?”

As security guards in an entertainment company, they usually paid attention to news in the entertainment industry. Shen Ye was well-known in the industry, and Zhao Wen certainly recognized him.

Then he saw Xu Ce standing behind Shen Ye. Who didn’t know Xu Ce, the acclaimed actor? Now he was even more certain that the person in front of him was Master Shen. After all, there were rumors in the industry that Master Shen had taken Xu Ce as his apprentice.

Shen Ye nodded, “Yes, can you come out now?”

Zhao Wen was somewhat astonished at why Master Shen would come looking for him, but he didn’t ask further. He put down his teacup and walked out.

Shen Ye led him to the lounge area in the lobby and asked him, “Are you planning to marry Huo Ruoyi, Huo Ruoci’s sister?”

As soon as those words were spoken, both Xu Sisi and Xu Ce were stunned.

They didn’t know Huo Ruoyi, but as the younger sister of the beautiful Huo Ruoci and with her control over Song Chu’s entertainment company, she must be attractive and wealthy. So why would Huo Ruoyi want to marry a powerless security guard?

Their gazes fell on Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen was young and had good features and a good physique, but his skin was slightly dark, making him look like a recently discharged young soldier…

Based on Huo Ruoci’s character, who would rather be Song Chu’s mistress, she wouldn’t let her sister marry a powerless security guard, right?

Zhao Wen wasn’t surprised that Master Shen knew about him and Huo Ruoyi. After all, he had heard that Master Shen was very accurate in fortune-telling, and there was nothing that Master Shen didn’t know or predict wrongly.

“Yes, we plan to go register our marriage in a few days,” he admitted straightforwardly, then curiously asked, “Master Shen, did you find me for something related to Huo Ruoyi?”

Shen Ye nodded, “I’m here to tell you that you can’t go through with this marriage.”

Zhao Wen’s eyes widened, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to react.

…What did Master Shen mean?

They were in a free relationship, and it shouldn’t bother anyone, right?

Three months ago, on his first day working as a security guard after being discharged, Zhao Wen encountered Huo Ruoyi being harassed by an old man in the underground parking lot. He stepped forward to help her, and Huo Ruoyi was grateful and left him her phone number.

The next day, Huo Ruoyi brought him snacks and fruits to thank him. They gradually became acquainted, and two weeks later, Huo Ruoyi confessed her feelings to him, saying that she liked him and felt safe around him. She hoped that he would accept her.

In Zhao Wen’s heart, Huo Ruoyi was both beautiful and gentle, and she excelled at her job. She was like a goddess. When the goddess confessed to him, Zhao Wen felt like he had won the lottery. Without thinking, he agreed to her proposal.

Their relationship was stable, and two months ago, one evening, Zhao Wen got drunk and slept with Huo Ruoyi. A few days ago, Huo Ruoyi came to him and told him that she was pregnant and wanted to marry him. Zhao Wen was both surprised and happy, so he quickly informed his family to choose a wedding date.

After hearing the story, Shen Ye couldn’t help but click his tongue, “Song Chu is a fool, and you’re not very smart either.”

Frowning, Zhao Wen felt that Master Shen had something hidden in his words.

“Call Huo Ruoyi here,” Shen Ye said.

Zhao Wen hesitated. He didn’t know why, but he had a feeling that Master Shen might be targeting Huo Ruoyi.

As Huo Ruoyi’s boyfriend and soon-to-be husband, he wanted to protect her.

Shen Ye sighed, “Before you were discharged, didn’t you participate in a mission to save fellow soldiers and several kidnapped civilians?”

Zhao Wen froze for a moment and nodded.

That mission was a secret operation. Although they ultimately succeeded, it came at a heavy price. Two of his comrades died, one was injured, and his own leg was hit by a bullet… He retired from the military because of the injury. The country didn’t mistreat him; the bonuses and retirement benefits were enough for him to live well. He took up this security guard job in the hope of continuing to do something meaningful.

“I won’t harm you,” Shen Ye paused and said, “On the contrary, because you saved people and have merit, I am here to help you, to stop you from marrying Huo Ruoyi.”

Yesterday, he met Huo Ruoci and could tell from her appearance that her sister was scamming someone into marriage, and that someone happened to be a person with merit.

That was also the reason he came to Song Chu’s company today. His main purpose was to help Zhao Wen.

Facing Shen Ye’s sincere gaze, Zhao Wen suddenly relaxed.

He thought that Master Shen was a good person, so he shouldn’t harm Huo Ruoyi, right?

Thus, he called Huo Ruoyi and asked her to come to the lobby.

Soon, Huo Ruoyi arrived and upon seeing Zhao Wen, she happily ran over, linking her arm with his and acting spoiled, “Did you miss me? I’m still at work, but I rushed over as soon as I received your call. Quick, praise me.”

Anyone who saw her would think that she truly loved Zhao Wen.

Shen Ye, on the other hand, coldly snorted.

This woman was just like her sister, quite good at putting on an act.

Upon hearing Shen Ye’s cold snort, Huo Ruoyi finally noticed the person sitting next to Zhao Wen. Once she saw Shen Ye, as well as Xu Ce and Xu Sisi next to him, her eyes narrowed slightly, and then she displayed an appropriate smile, “Hello, everyone.”

Zhao Wen held her hand and explained softly, “Master Shen wants to see you.”

Huo Ruoyi wasn’t particularly afraid of Shen Ye. She still didn’t know that her own sister had been deceived by Shen Ye. In her opinion, she wasn’t a star in the entertainment industry, so if Shen Ye had come to find her, it should be for something else. It couldn’t be to expose her true nature.

Little did she know that Shen Ye would shock her by asking directly, “Whose child is in your belly?”

When this question came out, not only Huo Ruoyi and Zhao Wen, but even Xu Sisi and Xu Ce were stunned.

… So the child in Huo Ruoyi’s belly wasn’t Zhao Wen’s?

These two sisters were truly amazing. One made Song Chu wear a green hat, and the other made Zhao Wen wear a green hat.

It was easier to explain in Song Chu’s case, considering he had a family and had himself engaged in infidelity. So when Huo Ruoci made him wear a green hat, others would just see it as dogs biting dogs.

But Zhao Wen was different. Zhao Wen genuinely loved Huo Ruoyi and wholeheartedly wanted to marry her. He was also a hero, and his character was honest and simple…

Shen Ye stared at Huo Ruoyi. “The child in your belly belongs to that old man, right? The old man got tired of you and wants to get rid of you. Coincidentally, you found out that you were pregnant with his child, so you discussed it with your sister and decided to find someone else to marry first. After raising the child, you planned to seize the old man’s wealth, right?”
