He grabbed Lu Hui and grabbed her neck. His eyes were like arrows, filled with cold anger, like a sharp blade hanging over the woman's head, ready to torture her to death at any time.

"Lu Hui, am I giving you too much face, making you think you can talk to me like this?"

As his palm tightened little by little, Lu Hui's face turned red, and her breathing seemed to be cut off, making it difficult for her to make a sound.

She tried her best to push away the vein-covered hand on her neck.

It was not until this moment that she suddenly realized that this was Shen Chengyuan's true face.

Anyone who escapes his control will suffer a bad end.

I once thought that I would be his preference and exception, but it turned out not to be the case!

Even though she wasted her life, compromised and gave birth to his child, in his eyes, she was just a tool for him to use!

"Let my mother go!"

Just then, Shen Jiang ran in from outside and happened to see this scene.

Shen Chengyuan instantly let go of Lu Hui, and she lost her balance and fell to the ground. Shen Jiang yelled, "Mom!"

Lu Hui was helped up by her son. She had finally escaped from the clutches of the devil. She was gasping for breath greedily, her throat so dry that she couldn't utter a word.

"Do you want to kill my mother? You bad guy!" Shen Jiang actually liked Shen Chengyuan coming home very much, because every time he came home, he would bring him delicious food.

He was ignorant when he was a child, and now rumors are spreading outside. It turns out that his mother always found various excuses to send him away so that she could be alone with Shen Chengyuan!

But now their affair has been discovered by the villagers, so Shen Chengyuan wants to kill them to silence them!

Shen Chengyuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, implying a hint of disdain. "Kid, watch your mouth. If I hear you gossip, you and your mother won't be as lucky as you are today!"

"You crazy person!"

Shen Jiang was still young after all. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not choose to retaliate rashly in person when facing a powerful enemy.

Because the sense of oppression from Shen Chengyuan was so strong, every word he said did not sound like a threat, but rather that he could really do such a thing.

Lu Hui recovered, pulled her son's hand back, and held him in her arms. She turned her back to Shen Chengyuan and had to compromise. "Go ahead, I'll listen to you."

But Shen Chengyuan's anger was hard to calm down, and there was a malicious desire burning in his eyes. In front of Shen Jiang, he grabbed Lu Hui's hand and pressed her against the wall.

"mother!"

Shen Jiang shouted anxiously and rushed forward to save his mother.

Lu Hui knew what was going to happen next. She yelled at her son with a hoarse voice, "Get out! Get out!"

"I won't! Mom, is he trying to bully you again?"

Shen Jiang refused to leave, but Lu Hui could not bear to be humiliated in front of her son.

She turned to Shen Chengyuan and pleaded, "Please... don't..."

Shen Chengyuan looked at her tearful appearance, his heart softened, and he let her go, "Let him go."

Lu Hui quickly picked up her son and locked him in another room.

Shen Jiang held her hand tightly and refused to let go, "Mom, don't go!"

"Xiao Jiang, be good. Listen to me and stay inside. Don't come out, okay? We can't go against him... If you behave yourself, I'll suffer less..."

Lu Hui had been having an affair with Shen Chengyuan behind her son's back, but now every word she said was like a sharp knife stabbing her heart again and again.

She forcibly broke free from Shen Jiang's hand, stood up and went out without hesitation, slammed the door shut, and locked it.

"Mom! Mom, open the door! Let me out! I don't want to! I don't want you to go!"

Shen Jiang knocked on the door and cried.

Lu Hui bit her lip, not daring to make a sound. She endured all the humiliation and pain, just hoping it would be over soon.

Fortunately, Shen Chengyuan was old and lacked physical strength and energy, so he let her go soon.

He looked down at the ragged woman lying on the ground, threw ten yuan in her face from his pocket, and warned her again: "Watch your son's mouth."

Lu Hui's frail body trembled constantly, her hot tears had already soaked her hair on both sides of her temples. Her pale lips were bloodless, and she said nothing as she held the money tightly in her palm, her eyes full of hatred.

After Shen Chengyuan left, she cleaned herself up before opening the door for her son.

Shen Jiang was still knocking on the door at first, but when he heard Shen Chengyuan's increasingly frantic sneer outside, he realized what his mother had said: if he was obedient, his mother would suffer less.

The door opened, and he looked at his mother, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying. His heart ached, and he rushed over to hug her, "Mom, let's go find the uncles from the militia company and ask them to arrest the captain!"

"No, they... they are all in the same group..."

Lu Hui squatted down, her voice unable to hide her helplessness, "Son, you have to listen to your mother and forget about what happened today, okay?"

Shen Jiang had never encountered such a thing before. As soon as he closed his eyes, Shen Chengyuan's unbearable voice seemed to echo in his ears.

"Mom...are we going to be bullied by him forever?"

Everything that happened today was enough for Lu Hui to see Shen Chengyuan's true face.

She hardened her heart and said with absolute certainty, "Sooner or later, I will make him pay the price he deserves!"

···

Wang Maer and Gong Liang were arrested, implicating a large number of people in the black market who had some improper transactions with them.

The entire black market was cleared out, and at this critical moment, no one dared to trade openly anymore.

The higher-ups learned about this and issued some notices, so the police station did not take any action against most people.

When Jiang Guifang learned that Zhong Zhiyang had been arrested, she immediately went home and told her daughter, "I told you he was unreliable, and now we've got nothing!"

Jiang Nianyue touched her belly and looked at the pile of cloth left by Zhong Zhiyang that day in the corner. She couldn't help but feel annoyed. "If you hadn't lost the money again, we wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now!"

Jiang Guifang admitted to being in the wrong, "I... I was just unlucky. Things like this always have winners and losers, and as long as I'm lucky, I can make my money back quickly!"

"Alright! I've told you before, if you lose again, you're not allowed to go there anymore!" Jiang Nianyue glanced at her coldly, "I'm going to the military compound now, come and help me up!"

Jiang Guifang was immediately furious. "What were you even doing there? Zhong Zhiyang was personally taken to the police station by his eldest brother, Zhong Heyang. He let his grandmother fuss for a long time, but it was all in vain! What Zhong Zhiyang did this time was no small matter. If someone were to investigate, Zhong Heyang would definitely be implicated as well. The Zhong family has truly drawn a clear line between themselves and him this time!"

"What did you say? Zhong Zhiyang's elder brother personally sent him in?" Jiang Nianyue frowned, "He's his own brother! How could he..."
