"Let me go."

  Wen Ning struggled with all his might, but Shen Qingqiu held him down firmly.

  Wen Ning sneered, "You dont love money? You dont love money, then what are you doing fighting openly and secretly with Shen Junhao every day, playing house?"

  Shen Shihan pinched her chin with his hand, forcing her to look at him. "How about I give you money and support you for two more years?"

  Kept woman? It turned out that in his eyes, she was just a kept mistress.

  Wen Ning seemed to have heard some joke and pushed away Shen Cihuans restraint with both hands.

  "Id rather sleep with anyone else than you, Shen Sihuan, please dont be so shameless again."

  Shen Zhans face was cold and stern as he took a step forward, embracing the person around the waist.

  Wen Ning only felt dizzy, and was thrown onto the sofa, Shen Quehans body pressed down like a mountain, the buttons on his shirt burst open due to the force, making a crisp sound.

  "Dont forget, I have in my hands the evidence of you stealing my data, your freedom is given by me."

  Shen Chihan used the stolen data to threaten her, but Wen Ning retorted: "Yes, my child was also killed by you!"

  Shen Zhans expression darkened and his grip relaxed.

  Wen Ning coldly smiled, but unexpectedly, even Shen Ci Han, who wouldnt hesitate to use any means necessary, felt a twinge of guilt towards the child.

  She doesnt believe it.

  She stood up and tidied her clothes behind him.

  "Youve hurt me time and again, isnt it because you think I stole your so-called information? I didnt steal your information, if I had stolen your information, let heaven punish me to never give birth to a child or become a mother in this lifetime!" Wen Ning raised her hand towards the sky and made a poisonous oath.

  Shen Zihans heart skipped a beat as something he had always firmly believed in without a doubt suddenly began to waver.

  "If you need money, you can come to me anytime."

  Before Shen Zihhan left, he still didnt forget to throw down a sentence that insulted people.

  She gritted her teeth, even if she died, she would never go be Shen Sihans mistress!

  ……

  Wen Ning returned to the Xie family home, on the way she received several messages, Gu Bei reminded her to take her medicine, Qiao Moxia asked if she had arrived home safely, Qin Mo asked if she was free tomorrow and invited her to watch a movie together.

  Wen Ning took out the medicine bottle from her bag and sent a photo of it to Gu Bei Ci, who replied with a "Well done" in a tone as if coaxing a child.

  Wen Ning looked at his phone, when suddenly the door opened and Xie Wenyue stood in the doorway: "Dad wants you to come down."

  Wen Ning restrained his smile and casually put down his bag, "Got it."

  "If you want those five million, go down now." Xie Yuanyuan urged.

  Wen Ning had no choice but to follow Xie Yuanyuan downstairs, and when they reached the bottom, Xie Yuanyuan turned back and sneaked into Wen Nings room.

  Xie Wenni rummaged through Wen Nings room and found her bag, inside which was a can of unmarked pills.

  Xie Wanwan secretly took a piece and hid it in her pocket.

  ……

  Downstairs, Wen Ning was negotiating with Xie Beiping.

  "Only 10 hours left, are things ready?"

  Xie Beipings face turned ugly as he pulled out a file bag and a check.

  "Everything is ready, but I have one condition."

  "What conditions?"

  "Before I give you these things, you must go home and tell your family that you wont marry Gu Bei Ci."

  "Wen Ning said without hesitation: Okay, but I want to add another 50 million."

  Xie Beiping jumped up from his chair in anger, "Wen Ning, dont be overbearing."

  Wēn níng said indifferently: "If you dont want to give it, then lets die together. Ive already set the timed release, tomorrow if I dont get what I want, the secrets from five years ago and how you got your hands on the Beihai Bay project will all be exposed."

  Xie Beipings face changed drastically, as if he had been held at gunpoint, and he immediately compromised, "Alright, Ill give you 50 million as long as you go to Gus house and explain things clearly."

  After that, he took out an invitation from the tea table, "Tomorrow, there is a banquet at the Gus house. As long as you publicly declare that you will not marry Gu Bei Ci, I will immediately transfer the money to your account."

  Wen Ning picked up the invitation and turned to leave.

  Xie Beiping still didnt forget to threaten him, saying: "Dont play any tricks, youre just one person. If I really want to deal with you, there are plenty of ways. Take the money and get out of here."

  As for Xie Beipings verbal abuse, Wen Ning had long been accustomed to it. A despicable person who could pretend to be a member of the Wen family for ten years for the sake of money would not hesitate to sell out and exploit his own daughter.

  She doesnt care about it now, she just wants to get back the company and the money as soon as possible, then leave the Xie family.

  She just wants these.

  The business world is like a battlefield. Xie Beiping snatched Shen Sihans project, just like taking food from a tigers mouth. Shen Sihan will definitely counterattack.

  What awaits Xies family ahead is definitely not a good outcome.

  ……

  On the other hand, Haichengs most authoritative psychological clinic.

  Shen Zhan lay on the chair with his eyes closed, his lips tightly pursed, and his eyebrows furrowed together. Before long, his hands clenched into fists, his pupils rolling violently under his eyelids, and cold sweat covered his forehead.

  A psychologist standing by snapped his fingers and broke the hypnosis.

  A few seconds later, Shen Sihuan opened his eyes, which were filled with exhaustion, as if he had just been through a fierce battle.

  "Mr. Shen," asked the doctor, "have you made any new discoveries in your dreams this time?"

  Shen Zihan thought back to his dream from earlier: the icy cold seawater, the indistinguishable dark blue shadows, the suffocating feeling that seemed to have no end. He felt as if he had fallen into the deep sea and was being stared at by the terrifying god of death. Just when he was about to collapse, a girl swam over like a fish, tightly hugging him and pulling him out of the water.

  Every time the dream came to an abrupt end, but this time, he finally saw the shadow of that girl.

  Shen Shihan picked up a pencil and quickly drew the outline of a girl on white paper, with a distinctive butterfly hair clip on her head.

  The psychiatrist exclaimed excitedly: "Mr. Shen, did you see this girl in your dream? After so long of treatment, we finally have a breakthrough!"

  Shen Zihan looked dissatisfied, "But I still cant fall asleep automatically."

  Since he fell into the water and was rescued six years ago, he has been suffering from insomnia.

  As soon as he fell asleep, he would dream of being thrown into a dark abyss of several thousand meters, and over time, fear and suffocation made it impossible for him to fall asleep normally.

  "When did Mr. Shen fall asleep naturally last time?"

  Shen Shihan thought for a moment, last time he fell asleep was in the basement.

  "A week ago."

  Doctor: "Was it because you were holding that girl and smelling her scent that you fell asleep?"

  "Yes."

  Doctor: "Have you tried it with other girls? Or is she the only one?"

  "Only she can."

  "The doctor hesitated and said, Since it can effectively help you fall asleep and youve been using this method for two years, Mr. Shen, why not continue with it? Otherwise, long-term insomnia combined with high-intensity work pressure will cause your body to overdraw and decline."

  ……

  Liujiang Villa

  The driver sent Jiang Yunshu back to the villa, and Shen Sicong didnt come back until very late.

  She couldnt help but feel a little worried, Shen Sicong hadnt returned for almost a week, every night was either entertaining or overtime at the company.

  "The servant asked: Miss Jiang, the scented candles you ordered have arrived this afternoon. Shall I send them up to your room?"

  "What fragrance?" Jiang Yunshu couldnt remember what fragrance she had ordered.

  The servant picked up a delicate gift box and flattered, "This one. I see that Miss Jiang in the bathroom uses this brand. Is it ordered by Young Master for you? Young Master is really considerate of Miss Jiang."

  Jiang Yunshu took a glance at the thing, and on the gift box was printed a resplendent wild rose.

  Isnt this the box of incense she fought with Wen Ning for at the incense shop half a month ago?

  She remembered that night at the bar, Wen Ning had even handed it to Shen Shihuan in person, and Shen Shihuan had thrown it into the trash can.

  It seems that the people at the bar thought this thing was too expensive, so they sent it back to Shen Si Han again.

  "Oh, this one? I remember now, its mine."

  Jiang Yunshu thought of something and took the incense back to her room, eagerly lighting it up.

  Before long, the room was filled with a faint scent of magnolia, refreshing and pleasant, making people feel relaxed, more comfortable than doing SPA. Jiang Yunshu fell in love with this smell at once.
