Chapter 40: Humiliated Every Day

  The car sped along like a ghost in the night.

  The air in the car was oppressive, Wen Ning sat in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on the receding streetlights outside, his heart as calm as water.

  What if Shen Shihuan heard those words?

  Even if Shen Shihan found out, what if everything yesterday was just her disguise?

  Didn't he always think she was a scammer with ulterior motives?

  His cold-blooded revenge, she had already experienced.

  When one has no desires, he has no fears.

  Wen Ning wasn't afraid at all, leaning against the window glass, and even fell asleep.

  After an unknown period of time, Wen Ning opened his eyes from his dream, and in front of him was a 100-meter-high Ferris wheel.

  Wen Ning felt a chill run down his spine.

  "Awake?" Shen Ci Han turned his head to look at her, his expression unclear. "Where did you go this afternoon?"

  Wen Ning was all prepared, but unexpectedly, Shen Qingqiu asked this instead.

  "I've sent you my location at the company."

  This afternoon, Wenning handed her mobile phone over to Li Xinhou and had him send out a timed location.

  "Really?" Shen Ci Han asked back.

  "Really." Wen Ning replied without hesitation.

  With a snap, the flame ignited, and Shen Ci Han lit himself a cigarette. Under the flame, his sharp eyebrows and eyes were clearly visible.

  "What I hate most is being lied to by others. I'll give you one more chance. Answer again, where were you this afternoon?"

  The pungent smell of tobacco wafted through the car, Wen Ning felt nauseous and irritated. "Does it matter? Who am I to you? Where did I go and who did I see that has anything to do with you? Or is it that Shen Qingqiu fell in love with me and is afraid I'll go see other men?"

  "Answer my question!" Shen Cihan only repeated this request.

  Wen Ning was almost unbearable with that tobacco smell, "Don't you already know? You already know everything, what else do you want me to answer? Are you trying to see my embarrassment after being exposed? Shen Sihuan, do you like humiliating me so much? From the beginning to now, for two whole years, you've been humiliating me every day!"

  Wen Ning pushed open the car door and got out, slamming it shut behind her. She took off in a sprint.

  Shen Cihan caught up with her in just a few steps from behind, pulling her hand and dragging her into the Ferris wheel cabin.

  Wen Ning panicked and stretched out her hand to knock on the glass door, "Let me out, let me out."

  "This is your punishment for lying to me!"

  Shen's expression was cold and indifferent as he closed the glass door of the compartment.

  The Ferris wheel started, and the glass cabin rose slowly until it stopped at the highest point.

  A fully transparent glass box, slightly swaying in mid-air, with an illusory glow and buildings beneath its feet.

  Wen Ning's whole body was covered in cold sweat, her hair standing on end, and her legs were so weak she couldn't stand up. She didn't dare open her eyes, and could only shrink into a ball in the corner of her seat. Even so, she still felt an unseen force pulling her down, as if it wanted to drag her into an abyss.

  Her heart was racing wildly, her chest heaving violently, yet she still felt dizzy and suffocated. Wen Ning couldn't help but burst into tears, her mouth letting out anguished sobs.

  Shen Chihan looked at the woman huddled into a ball on the surveillance screen and pressed the intercom button.

  "Wen Ning, where did you go this afternoon?"

  Wen Ning was surrounded by extreme acrophobia, and his mind was already in disarray. Hearing Shen Qingqiu's voice was like seeing a lifeline, and he immediately replied truthfully.

  "In the afternoon, I and Shen Junhao went to the Beishi Women's Prison."

  "Two years ago, what was your purpose in getting close to me?"

  "Two years ago... I approached you... To secretly gather your business intelligence..."

  "I copied the tender document of Beihaiwan from your study and put it on a U disk, then sent it to Xie Beiping..."

  "Please... let me go..."

  On the Ferris wheel, the woman's face was pale and she begged bitterly.

  Shen's face was as cold as frost, "Let her down."

  The Ferris wheel turned half a circle and returned to the ground, the glass door opened, Wen Ning sat in the corner, his hair and clothes were all soaked with cold sweat, his face was whiter than paper, his eyes were scattered, as if he had walked through the line of death.

  "This humiliation... Mr. Shen, are you satisfied?"

  Wen Ning saw Shen Ci Han standing tall outside the door, seemingly dominating everything. His breath was as gentle as a wandering thread, yet it was clear enough in the quiet black night.

  Shen Ci Han met her gaze filled with resentment and pain, his heart felt like it had been fiercely clawed by iron talons, aching to the point of suffocation.

  It was obviously her fault, yet he felt like everything was his responsibility.

  Shen's eyes sank, and he bent down to carry her into the car.

  The car sped towards the seaside like a strong wind, Wen Ning was quiet as if he didn't exist, not even his breathing sound could be heard.

  Shen Chihan glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that from the moment she got in the car, the woman had maintained the same posture, not moving a single bit, as if she were dead.

  Shen Sihan brought Wen Ning to the Yunhai Mountain Villa, which was located on a hill by the sea, with mountains and sea accompanying each other, in a quiet and elegant environment, Shen Sihan's private property that no one knew about.

  As soon as he entered the house, the servant Lan came out to greet him, "The master is back. Dinner has already been prepared."

  Shen Shihan waved his hand and let everyone retreat first, then took Wen Ning to the bedroom.

  "We'll be staying here for a few days. Everything is ready."

  Shen Shihan opened the wardrobe, and it was filled with all sorts of clothes and accessories. He casually picked out a white dress.

  "Go take a bath and change your clothes."

  What does it mean? Give a slap and get a sweet date?

  Wen Ning filled his ears and didn't hear anything, silently walking over to sit down at the edge of the bed, with his back facing Shen Ci Han.

  Shen Zihan threw the white dress on the bed, "You have 10 minutes to take a bath and change into this. If you don't come down for dinner, I'll make you stay in the bathtub all night!"

  After finishing speaking, Shen Shihan closed the door and went downstairs to the dining room.

  "Sir, all the dishes are ready." said Lan Sao, the servant, as she came forward.

  Shen Chihan glanced at the sumptuous seafood feast on the table and said, "Take away the sashimi and king crab, and replace them with a few hot soups."

  "Alright, sir."

  Lan Jie brought the emperor crab and Arctic scallops into the kitchen, but couldn't help muttering to herself.

  The master had specifically instructed to prepare a seafood feast, and the emperor crab and sashimi were all pre-ordered. They were caught early this morning and airlifted over. How can they be cancelled?

  Lan's aunt was puzzled in her heart, but she quickly took out the high soup stored in the refrigerator, boiled it over high heat, added fresh mushrooms, and made a pot of fresh mushroom soup to serve.

  "What did Shen Junhao go to the women's prison in the north of the city for? Did you find out?"

  Shen Sihan is on the phone with Ji Qing. As his biggest rival, Shen Sihan has always had informants keeping an eye on Shen Junhao. It was only when someone reported that Shen Junhao went to the North City Women's Prison that Shen Sihan found out, and Wen Ning wasn't in Manrou.

  Ji Qing: "I've already investigated, Shen Junhao went to see a woman named San Yi. This woman was once a teammate of Shen Junhao's mother, Ding Yuanshan, in a racing team."

  "Can we find out what they talked about when they met?"

  Ji Qing: "Can't find it, Shen Junhao has already taken action and deleted all the surveillance footage and audio recordings of the prison visit."

  Shen Zihan: "He's being so cautious, he must be hiding something big. Investigate that woman called San Yi thoroughly."

  Shen Chihan was about to hang up the phone when Ji Qing hesitated on the other end of the line, "Is there anything else?"

  Ji Qing said: "Director Shen, Shen Junhao invested 6 million yuan in Wen Ning."

  Shen Zhan Han paused for a moment, "I understand."

  "Last time, Wen Ning revealed your insomnia secret for 3 million and almost lost power to Shen Junhao. This time, who knows what agreement they've reached? This woman is too good at pretending, President Shen, you'd better be careful..."
