Let's rewind to a month ago.

Wang Family Villa, Li Nan, Y City.

"I understand." Butler Xu hung up the phone and rushed to the lobby.

Wang Changshan and his wife Yan Xiang were leisurely drinking tea in the hall.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?" Wang Changshan asked, looking at Butler Xu who had just entered through the door.

Butler Xu, panting heavily, said, "Master, something terrible has happened! Young Master hit someone with his car and fled the scene."

The person who was hit has died because they did not receive timely medical treatment.

Upon hearing this, Wang Changshan jumped to his feet and roared at Butler Xu, "What did you say?"

Immediately afterwards, a teacup was smashed on the ground and shattered into pieces.

"Master, please calm down, don't be angry." Yan Xiang quickly stepped forward and pulled Wang Changshan back.

"How could I not be angry? That was a human life, and he just ran away like that," Wang Changshan said angrily.

Yan Xiang quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "Master, please calm down. My son is still young and doesn't understand. He certainly didn't mean it."

"23 years old is still young? He's such a grown man, all he does is eat, drink and have fun all day long."

"Now he's caused such a huge disaster, it's all because you've spoiled him too much." Wang Changshan looked at him with a mixture of disappointment and frustration.

"Master, I know I was wrong. I will definitely discipline him properly in the future," Yan Xiang quickly admitted her mistake.

Wang Changshan frowned: "What's the use of saying all this now? We must find a way to resolve this matter and prevent it from being exposed by the media."

“Master is right, we must keep the news under wraps and not let this matter get out,” Yan Xiang echoed.

"Yes, send someone to handle this matter immediately. We absolutely cannot let the police find any evidence," Wang Changshan instructed Butler Wang.

“Yes, sir, I’ll arrange it right away.” Butler Xu nodded.

"Also, go and find the victim's family and see if you can settle this matter with money," Wang Changshan added.

"Yes, sir, I understand." After saying that, Butler Xu turned and left the hall.

After Butler Xu left, Wang Changshan sat on the sofa, his face terribly gloomy.

He spends all his time hanging out with his cronies, doing nothing productive.

I don't know how many messes I've cleaned up for him; he's utterly hopeless.

At this moment, Wang Wenbo returned. He glanced at his parents, who seemed to be acting strangely, and tried to turn around and leave, but Wang Changshan stopped him.

"You unfilial son, kneel down."

Wang Wenbo knelt on the ground reluctantly, looking defiant.

I guess the old man found out about his hit-and-run.

Wang Changshan instructed Wang Ma, "Bring the family discipline."

A moment later, Wang Ma handed Wang Changshan a wooden stick.

He just hit someone, no one died, and nobody saw it.

Is the old man really that serious? Just give him some money to get rid of him.

"You unfilial son, are you trying to drive me crazy?" Wang Changshan said, striking Wang Wenbo with a stick.

"Master, please calm down. We only have one son. Please stop hitting him." Shi Xiang hugged her son, preventing Wang Changsheng from hitting him again.

Wang Wenbo didn't think he was wrong, and he said whatever came to mind: "Dad, this is just a small matter, we can just settle it with money."

"You, you, I can let your usual petty squabbles go, but what you've done now is kill someone." Wang Changshan was even angrier after hearing Wang Wenbo's words.

Wang Wenbo shuddered and collapsed to the ground, his face filled with disbelief. He muttered, "How could this be? He was just hit once, how could he be dead?"

He then grabbed Wang Changsheng's leg, panicked, and said, "Dad, you have to help me."

"Wang Ma, take the young master back to his room and don't let him step out of there."

In the study.

“Zheng He’s daughter in our company is sick and urgently needs money. Please make the necessary arrangements.”

"Yes, sir."

After Steward Wang left the study, Wang Changshan sighed, looking worried.

If he continues to act so lawlessly, the Wang family will be ruined in his hands sooner or later.

A week has passed.

Inside a private room at the bar.

"Young Master Wang, we haven't seen you for a week. Where have you been making your fortune?" - Friend No. 1

Wang Wenbo lit a cigarette and took a puff: "It's all because my old man won't let me go out. I've been stuck at home for so many days, I'm so bored."

"Of course, it's good to come out and relax, eat, drink, and have fun." - Friend No. 2

“That’s right.” — Friend No. 3

Wang Wenbo was very pleased to be praised by others, and raised his glass happily: "Today we won't leave until we're drunk."

His cronies chimed in, "We won't leave until we're drunk!"

After a few rounds of drinks, Wang Wenbo became tipsy. His gaze inadvertently fell upon a beautiful waitress.

This innocent look must have a unique charm.

Buddy #1 noticed his gaze and signaled to Buddy #2, who immediately understood and secretly slipped something into the drink.

The third of his cronies seized the opportunity: "You, come here."

Upon hearing this, the waitress immediately stepped forward: "Sir, is there anything you need?"

"Drink this glass of wine."

The waitress declined, saying, "Sir, this is against the rules."

“If there’s anything wrong with the rules, ten thousand, drink it,” said Buddy No. 2.

The first of his cronies took out 10,000 yuan in cash and placed it on the table.

The waitress, realizing something was wrong, immediately tried to leave, but Wang Wenbo pulled her away, blocking her path.

The waitress trembled, "What do you want to do? If you don't let go, I'll call the police."

Wang Wenbo scoffed, "If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences."

Upon hearing this, all of his cronies left the private room.

"It's just the two of us left. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

As Wang Wenbo spoke, he reached out his hand to the waitress.

"No, please."

"Save your energy for later."

"Ah, help!"

……

The waitress lay on the sofa with her hair disheveled, her eyes empty and lifeless, revealing endless desolation and numbness.

Tears silently streamed down her pale cheeks, as if she had lost all hope for life.

She slowly rose like a soulless puppet and mechanically put on her clothes.

But her gaze remained fixed on the sharp fruit knife in the fruit bowl.

Suddenly, as if driven by an inexplicable force, she abruptly reached for the fruit knife, a flash of determination and hatred in her eyes.

Without hesitation, she aimed the blade at Wang Wenbo's lower body and stabbed him forcefully.

Wang Wenbo was completely unprepared for this sudden attack and had no time to react.

A sharp pain struck him instantly, causing him to let out a scream.

Wang Wenbo was furious, his eyes burning with rage, and he quickly snatched the fruit knife from the waitress's hand.

His anger erupted like a volcano, and without hesitation, he stabbed the waitress in the abdomen.

Then, he seemed to go mad and stabbed three more times, each stab filled with deep resentment.

The waitress collapsed to the ground, her eyes slowly closing, and her life gradually faded away.

Wang Wenbo then snapped out of his daze and came to his senses in a panic.

He threw away the blood-stained knife in terror and, trembling, reached out a finger to check the waitress's breath.

When he confirmed that the waitress was dead, fear gripped his entire being.

At this moment, the cronies outside the door, estimating that it was about time, went back into the private room.

However, they were completely stunned by the bloody and horrifying scene before them.

Among them, one of the cronies mustered up his courage and went forward to check on the waitress.

He trembled as he reached out a finger to check her breath, then his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.

"Dead...dead!"

"What...what are we going to do?" said one of the cronies, his eyes wide and his voice trembling.

At this moment, Wang Wenbo appeared unusually calm.

He took a deep breath: "Now that things have come to this, you are responsible for cleaning up the scene, and you must do it cleanly and efficiently. I will personally handle the body."

After speaking, Wang Wenbo clenched his fists tightly, his eyes revealing a resolute and courageous look.

He knew that there was no way out now, and the only option was to destroy the evidence.

Then, Wang Wenbo turned around, staring sharply at his three cronies, and warned them in a serious tone: "Remember, we're in the same boat now!"
