The wealthy military officer spoils his wife excessively

It took him a while to recognize her as Nie Suwen, and he asked her angrily, "What are you doing?"

She didn't even lift her eyelids, and replied indifferently, "I got bitten by a dog."

I was bitten by a dog...

She's referring to what happened last night!

When he saw she wasn't resisting anymore, he thought she had finally come to her senses after all these days, but he never expected her to be so fierce! Didn't he like her hair? She cut it all off for him. She'd rather ruin herself than let him have it than let him have it if it wasn't her own choice!

This was true three years ago, and it will be true three years from now.

He was somewhat disheartened: "Don't you regret your choice today? Even if that person goes to jail, even if they lose everything, even if things don't work out between you two?"

Suwen told him firmly, "I will never regret it in this lifetime. I love him, even if he goes to jail, even if he has nothing, even if he is a beggar, I will still love him!"

She doesn't love herself, and even if Hao Haiyun has the whole world, she doesn't care.

He suddenly burst into laughter, slamming his cigarette butt down: "What a fucking idiot!" It was unclear whether he was cursing himself or her.

"Do you know your little boyfriend is about to be finished! Someone's setting a trap for him. Even if he escapes this hurdle, he won't escape the next. Do you know why I brought you here today? Because there's a fascinating board meeting in this building, discussing how to acquire your little boyfriend's company. That's why I hate dealing with business people the most. They're all sweet talkers, smiling more friendly than anyone else, but ruthless when they stab you in the back. Last night, that Young Master Xiao not only put your little boyfriend in jail, but also made him lose his company, leaving him with nowhere to go, unable to even be an ordinary person! Do you think this rich kid you've tied down is any powerful or capable? He's just being led by the nose! He's just a bullying playboy. Without his father and his money, he's nothing! They're not only going to get rid of him, but also his whole family! Luckily you haven't married into that family yet, or you'd be in the same boat, Nie Suwen!"

A crisp, resounding slap echoed across Su Wen's face. She trembled with rage, having used almost all her strength. Looking at her hand, she never dreamed she would have the audacity to slap Hao Haiyun.

Hao Haiyun didn't expect that instead of grinning, Nie Suwen smiled and said, "Well done, Nie Suwen, you're getting more and more capable."

Su Wen composed herself and said, "This slap was mine. I owe you one, and I'll pay it back. I don't care if Lu Zheng loses his company or his whole family suffers. I just want one word from you: will you give him the person or not?"

Hao Haiyun looked at her slowly, his eyes filled with a sorrowful light, but his lips were clearly smiling.

"Fine, if you want to be a pair of star-crossed lovers, I'll grant your wish!"

Suwen was stunned.

"Are you really willing to hand him over to me?"

"Just bet with me."

Su Wen knew Hao Haiyun was definitely an expert in this area, and hesitated for a moment. But he had her in his hands, and there was no other way, so she steeled herself: "What should we bet on?"

"I'm betting on whether your boyfriend will ultimately betray you."

"that's it?"

Suwen thought he would suggest dice rolling or more advanced gambling techniques. To be honest, she wasn't good at any of those. In the end, however, he suggested something she was most confident about.

She firmly believed that even if she betrayed the whole world, Lu Zheng would never betray her.

So, she nodded confidently: "Okay, I agree. How do we bet?"

“Take him with you. As long as you two are together, I guarantee everyone will be safe. But if he abandons you, you must come back to me.”

It seemed like a good gamble, beneficial and harmless to her. If she could take the person away and get rid of Hao Haiyun, she couldn't be happier.

"It's a word."

Nie Suwen watched as Hao Haiyun made a phone call and then drove the car to the police station entrance.

The road in front of the police station was the same as always, with an office building next to it and a convenience store a little further ahead. Hao Haiyun rolled down half a window and lit another cigarette for himself. Su Wen had lost count of how many cigarettes this was; she only remembered that the pack that had been full when the central console arrived was now mostly empty.

Before he'd even finished half a cigarette, a white van suddenly sped towards them. Hao Haiyun's eyes lit up, and he flicked the cigarette butt away. Su Wen, unsure of his intentions, cautiously watched the back of his head. Before she could react, someone was pushed out of the white van. The van hadn't even come to a complete stop before the door slammed shut again, and it sped past them like the wind.

Su Wen was completely stunned. The man who had been pushed off the car rubbed against the ground a couple of times, then used his hands to support himself. It took him a while to slowly stand up. Su Wen saw his profile and recognized him as the driver, Wang Bing, from the photo!

Just as she was about to open the car door and get out, Hao Haiyun reacted quickly and pressed a button on the central control, locking the car door.

Suwen tried to open the car door but couldn't, and glared at him angrily: "Are you trying to go back on your word?"

Hao Haiyun chuckled coldly, raised his chin (which was dangling from his cigarette), and pointed forward. Wang Bing, looking dejected, scratched the back of his head and then walked sullenly towards the police station entrance.

"Would he really be so honest as to turn himself in?"

But as soon as he asked the question, he realized it was pointless. Those people must have threatened him before throwing him off the bus, saying they would do this or that to him if he didn't turn himself in. Getting off the bus with them would just be pointless.

When she looked up, she met Hao Haiyun's contemptuous gaze. She admitted that she had underestimated him. Although Hao Haiyun was not a good person, those in the underworld valued trust above all else.

Su Wen felt a little embarrassed and pointed to the locked car door: "Now that you've released the person, I should leave too."

This time, Hao Haiyun didn't stop her. He simply unlocked the car door and reminded her as she got out, "Don't forget our bet."

His voice was calm and steady, with a hint of confidence that he had the victory in his grasp.

Su Wen didn't know where his confidence came from, and she didn't have the mind to worry about anything else at the moment. She knew that even if Wang Bing turned himself in, the police would need time to investigate and collect evidence, and Lu Zheng wouldn't be out so quickly. However, there was one thing that was on her mind.

Hao Haiyun said that Xiao Rong would acquire Lu Zheng's Runhua Real Estate, but it's still unknown whether this is true or not.

She first called Yanbei to tell him that the driver who caused the accident had been found. Yanbei was very surprised and asked her how she found him. She couldn't explain Hao Haiyun's situation to him in detail, so she could only say that the criminal had a change of heart and turned himself in.

Yan Bei let out a long sigh of relief: "Luckily, Lu Zheng was lucky. Good people are indeed rewarded."

She thought for a moment, then asked him indirectly, "How is Lu Zheng's company doing? He hasn't been at the company these past few days, could something have happened?"

Yan Bei was taken aback by her question and honestly answered that he didn't know.

She was still worried after hanging up, so she immediately called Xiao Rong again. She was quite surprised to see Xiao Rong in Las Vegas yesterday; his lawyer had always claimed his client was abroad, but judging from Xiao Rong's demeanor last night, he had clearly already secretly entered the country. And how did he end up with Hao Haiyun's group?

The Xiao family is a legitimate large enterprise, and their business dealings have always been clean and aboveboard. In contrast, the business people that Hao Haiyun associates with are involved in both the legitimate and underworld circles, and none of them dare to say that their hands are clean.

Xiao Rong answered the phone readily, and Su Wen said directly on the phone, "Where are you? I have some questions I want to ask you in person."

"Come to the company, I'll be waiting for you in Huayi's office."

Now that he's back at the company, it seems Xiao Rong has publicly announced his return to China today.

Hearing his frank agreement to meet, Su Wen felt slightly calmer. Since Xiao Rong wasn't afraid of her questioning and had arranged to meet at Huayi Brothers, Hao Haiyun's words were probably just alarmist talk, perhaps meant to scare her. If Xiao Rong truly wanted to harm Lu Zheng, he would definitely have kept his actions secret, at least not openly arranging a meeting with her at the company.

She hadn't anticipated another possibility: that Xiao Rong had already taken control of the situation and was therefore acting recklessly.

Su Wen hurried back to the company, only nodding to acquaintances along the way. She took the elevator to the seventeenth floor and ran into Xiao Yuan, who was coming out of Xiao Rong's office. Xiao Yuan's face was flushed, and her lips were tightly pressed together, as if she had just had an argument. Su Wen paused for a moment, hesitating whether to greet her, but Xiao Yuan had already swept past her like a gust of wind and entered the elevator.

Suwen shook her head and knocked on Xiao Rong's office door.

Xiao Rong was leaning back in his swivel chair, drinking coffee. His office was at the end of the corridor, so three walls were floor-to-ceiling windows, providing excellent natural light. The midday sun shone brightly on the marble floor. Xiao Rong squinted his peach blossom eyes, took a sip of coffee, pointed to the sofa in front of him, and said very politely, "Sit down."

Suwen sat down and realized that the sofa looked familiar. Xiao Rong seemed to read her mind and told her directly, "That's right, it was moved from Lu Zheng's office."

He smiled and said, "I know what you want to ask. In a little while, I can show you a good show."

Suwen stared at him in astonishment.

"During Lu Zheng's absence, the heads of various projects and subsidiaries under his Runhua Real Estate have already become restless due to the tight cash flow. You should know that when Lu Zheng registered the company, it was Xiao's Group that invested in it. Xiao's Group, which is me, is actually the second largest shareholder of Runhua Real Estate. Now Runhua Real Estate is leaderless, and the management is desperate. They have all come to me to take charge of the situation. They have even spontaneously decided to hold a special shareholders' meeting without my suggestion."

Suwen pondered for a moment before saying, "So you want to take this opportunity to seize power and usurp the throne?"
