A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!
Chapter 77 Using her as bait
"Now all the artists at Shen's Entertainment are unemployed. If this continues, the company will soon close down. If we can acquire this land..."
"At that time, we will definitely be able to turn things around by attracting investment. Even if we transfer it after we get our hands on it, such a lucrative piece of meat can be easily sold off," Shen Rufeng continued.
Shen Zhinan rubbed his temples and reached out to unbutton the two buttons on his shirt collar.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he felt somewhat agitated, his previous composure and calm gone. But Shen Ruru Feng's words continued to echo in his mind.
After all, he's a businessman.
"Let's investigate this matter first. See if there's anything fishy going on, how this land ended up in Leng Zhiming's hands. If it's a setup by someone else, we'll likely lose everything if we invest in it," Shen Zhinan said.
Seeing this, Shen Rufeng nodded as well.
“I’ve already asked a friend to help me investigate, and we’ll have the results soon. If it’s really in Leng Zhimo’s hands, then we can take advantage of Leng Chengshen this time.”
“Even if he is an illegitimate son of the Leng family, he still bears the surname Leng. It’s worthwhile to exchange him for a piece of land. Besides, everyone can see how he feels about Chu Chu.”
"We'll have Achu arrange for him to meet up. If he wants to be with Achu, then he needs to show sincerity. We want sincerity in this land," Shen Rufeng said, explaining his plan.
He didn't have a good impression of Leng Chengshen, but he still went all out for the sake of profit.
"You want Achu to seduce him?" Shen Zhinan looked at him with some disapproval.
Shen Rufeng smiled, his devilish face full of calculation. He lowered his voice and said, "But if letting her go on two dates with Leng Chengshen can save the Shen family, we won't lose out."
“Besides, it was just a date, we didn’t ask her to marry us, did we?” Shen Rufeng said.
He had barely finished speaking when Shen Beiran suddenly spoke up.
“Shi Yanxia also likes Leng Chengshen. Once she finds out that he and Chu Chu are going on a date, she will probably panic. Maybe she will even apologize to us and take the initiative to introduce us to the Zhan family,” Shen Beiran said.
The group chatted away, completely forgetting about Shen Lianchu, who was still unconscious.
Shen Lianchu groaned in pain, feeling as if her internal organs were being burned by fire. Her whole body ached terribly, and her face felt as if someone was peeling and scraping her skin with a knife.
The pain continued to spread throughout her body. She tried to struggle, but something held her down.
"Ah!" Shen Lianchu screamed and sat up abruptly.
Cold sweat soaked her clothes. She collapsed onto the hospital bed in pain, looking around in confusion. She saw her three brothers sitting on the sofa talking.
"Brother." Shen Lianchu's voice choked with emotion.
She looked at them with a pitiful expression, her eyes red and her body trembling as she said, "I had a terrible dream. In the dream, someone was burning my internal organs and peeling and scraping the skin off my face."
"It was Shi Yanxia. She must have done it. We had just left when this happened."
“She understands metaphysics. Maybe she’s cursing us. Does she want me dead?” Shen Lianchu’s voice choked with sobs.
Large tears streamed down her face, and the three men looked at her with strange expressions.
"Brother, don't you believe me?" Shen Lianchu sobbed a few times.
Finding that they didn't come forward to comfort her, nor did they hug her like before, she bit her lip, jumped off the hospital bed, and swayed her hips as she walked towards them.
"Okay, don't cry, I believe you." Shen Rufeng hugged her helplessly.
Shen Lianchu nestled in his arms like a water snake, her small hands clutching his clothes, her whole body pressed against him. The man's body stiffened slightly, clearly... hardened.
"Ah!" At this moment, Shen's mother screamed and fell off the hospital bed.
When she fell heavily, she landed headfirst. When the doctor came over and lifted her up, he discovered that she had dislocated her jaw due to the shock.
When I pressed my chin back down, my mouth was slightly crooked.
"This is probably due to too much air conditioning; it's caused by some facial paralysis. He needs to rest for a few days, and he should recover after the injection," the doctor said before leaving.
I had a vague feeling that this ward was somewhat ominous; neither the doctors nor the nurses liked to come in.
The entire ward was gloomy, and it hadn't been quiet since she moved in. They couldn't help but wonder if this family was really haunted by some evil spirit.
"Should we bring Master Huo back again?" Shen Beiran asked, somewhat frightened.
He's only the third child, and he's only 26 this year! He's not as composed as Shen Zhinan and Shen Rufeng.
Shen Zhinan is 31 this year, and Shen Rufeng is 29! They are both older than him and have seen a lot. Although they are a little flustered in the face of this matter, they still appear quite calm.
"I'll try again," Shen Rufeng said.
He made several phone calls, but the people in the industry immediately refused.
"Young Master Shen, I'm not trying to be mean, but Master Huo was already giving you face by offering to help you before. Not only did you not trust him, you also drove him away. I'm powerless to help you now."
"You've offended Master Huo, and now you want to send him back? Does your Shen family have a lot of face?"
After they finished cursing, they hung up the phone.
Partly because the Shen family was facing a crisis and could go bankrupt at any time, they didn't want to get involved in these consequences.
"What should we do?" Shen Beiran was dumbfounded.
Shen Rufeng's calls were all on speakerphone, and everyone could hear them clearly.
"It's all my fault. If I had said a few nice words back then, things wouldn't have turned out like this," Shen Lianchu said, taking the blame upon himself.
The others remained silent.
The atmosphere in the ward was tense. Shen's mother was so angry that she was trembling all over, and drool kept dripping from the corner of her mouth.
She has always been very clean and, being a wealthy woman, she values her image above all else. Now, drool is constantly dripping down the corners of her mouth and onto her clothes.
Tears streamed down her face as she snarled, "Find Shi Yanxia, and make that... that... that bitch... get... get over here."
Her mouth was slightly crooked, and she spoke haltingly.
Upon hearing this, they all fell silent, and Shen Zhinan vaguely felt that her body was still in great pain.
"I'm going to get a checkup," Shen Zhinan said.
When he returned from his checkup, he discovered that three of his ribs had been fractured, but not broken! However, the pain persisted, and some of the bones in his leg were misaligned, requiring chiropractic realignment.
"Shi Yanxia, you're so heartless!" Shen Zhinan's eyes turned quite sinister with anger.
When others learned that Shi Yanxia had inflicted these injuries on him, they were furious, but there was nothing they could do about it.
“No, I’m going to find her.” Shen Beiran said, turning and walking outside.
War House
After kicking Shen Zhinan, Shi Yanxia returned to the house and went upstairs to take a shower.
He looked thoughtfully at the bottle containing Shen Lianchu's hair on the cabinet in front of him.
“I broke the old man’s curse, and he died on the spot. If he really did perform a ritual for Shen Lianchu, then Shen Lianchu will definitely suffer the backlash,” Shi Yanxia said in a low voice.
