“That’s what All Lin said. He told us that he saw you entering the elevator.” He Huai scratched the back of his head somewhat perplexed, sensing a tense atmosphere.

“Isn’t that the case?” He Huai tentatively glanced at Shen Wan and then turned to look at Song Lin.

“Of course not.” The young woman chuckled lightly, bypassed He Huai, and walked straight toward Song Lin. She stopped a step away, her eyes dark and profound, like two unfathomable whirlpools, as if they could suck away one’s soul.

Song Lin’s gaze flickered briefly, then he broke into a smile. Undeniably, the man had a delicate and handsome face, unlike He Huai’s sunny disposition or Qin Zeyan’s gentlemanly charm. He exuded a kind of wild and rebellious aura, leaning more towards the sinister side. Even when he smiled, it felt like that smile didn’t quite reach his eyes.

This man was cold enough and self-assured enough that there was no guilt or remorse in his gaze as he looked at Shen Wan. It was as if his actions were entirely justified, no regrets, no remorse, no pity.

However, in the next moment, Song Lin couldn’t maintain his smile.

Shen Wan didn’t accuse him tearfully of his misdeeds in front of everyone, nor did she publicly expose his villainy. She simply raised her hand calmly, and then, a resounding slap echoed, delivering an incredibly loud and crisp sound.

Smack!

When she struck, Shen Wan deliberately extended her nails, displaying a viciousness as if she was carving away decayed flesh. With this sound, three bloody marks appeared on the man’s face, a testament to the force and cruelty she had put into it!

Song Lin’s head was knocked to the side, as if completely stunned. He remained in that posture, frozen like a statue for a while.

Qin Zeyan was bewildered, He Huai dumbfounded, and Shen Qian’s eyes concealed turbulent emotions.

Only Shen Wan herself wore an immensely radiant smile. Her face, often considered pale and plain, seemed to be ignited by a cluster of flames, growing brighter and more beautiful…

She said, “Really despicable. Even dogs are more dignified and noble than you.”

Without giving Song Lin and the others a chance to react, Shen Wan walked away briskly. Her figure, delicate but resolute, retreated confidently, resembling a slender poplar tree standing tall in the wind.

“What the hell just happened?” He Huai jumped up, ready to chase after her, but Qin Zeyan restrained him with a raised hand. His calm gaze fixed on Song Lin. “What did you do?”

Though he didn’t know Shen Wan well, he could tell she was a quiet girl who almost seemed to fade into the background. She rarely spoke, had a gentle nature, and her emotions were usually subdued. If she resorted to slapping someone publicly, something significant must have occurred, and it wasn’t a small matter.

“All Lin, why did you provoke her? Say something!” He Huai was getting anxious and couldn’t help but give him a gentle push. Little did he know that Song Lin reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling.

“He Huai, are you a fucking idiot? What’s your relationship with Shen Wan? Even her own brother isn’t this concerned. What’s your damn problem?” These words were hurtful, especially the use of the word “idiot”.

He Huai’s cheeks turned red with anger. “Song Lin, can’t you speak properly? 1 think that slap was well deserved. You need a lesson!”

“Oh, 1 see.” Song Lin’s smile took on a mischievous edge. The angrier he became, the more attractive his smile seemed to get. “You’ve fallen for her, haven’t you? You want to win her over…”

“That’s enough!” Shen Qian suddenly interrupted their argument. His voice was icy, and he turned to Song Lin. “You, come upstairs with me.”

In the room, the two men stood facing each other in silence, one with a sinister aura and the other cold as ice.

“What exactly have you done?” Shen Qian stared at him, his gaze deep and filled with anger.

Song Lin tossed himself onto the sofa without bothering to wipe away the blood on his face. He leaned back casually with his hands spread out, appearing nonchalant. “Haven’t you already guessed?”

“I want you to say it, in your own words, say it clearly!”

Song Lin chuckled. “1 simply gave her a little something, and had Archie bring a few guys to test her. And why are you so worked up?”

Archie was one of Song Lin’s thugs who often operated between Jingping and Ning City, operating in the gray areas, and had a ruthless nature.

Shen Qian’s gaze turned frigid. “Explain yourself clearly.”

“I’m afraid you won’t like what you hear.”

“Song Lin!”

“Alright, alright…” He raised his hands in a surrendering gesture. “Since you want to know, 1’11 tell you. I gave her some of Madame She’s special cocktail, and then 1 had Archie find a guy…”

Thud!

A muffled sound.

Song Lin hadn’t finished speaking before Shen Qian’s fist came crashing down. He didn’t dodge it, taking the blow head-on. His mouth quickly swelled up, visibly reddening, and the three bloody marks left by Shen Wan added to his disheveled appearance.

“What made you do such a thing?!” Shen Qian approached him, grabbing his collar, his eyes blazing red as if about to spew blood. “You actually drugged her?! And found some random guy… Song Lin, how dare you?!”

“Feeling guilty?” He still wore a smile, his eyes half-closed, as if deriving immense pleasure from the situation. “You shouldn’t. She’s just a bastard child. Why are you making such a fuss, and getting so angry over this? All Qian, do you even know what you’re doing right now?”

Thud!

Shen Qian delivered another punch to him, his cold eyes cutting like a knife. “You shouldn’t have acted on your own.”

Song Lin sneered. He did have a temper, and this second punch had completely infuriated him. “So, just because of a woman, you’re beating your brother?”

“She’s my sister.”

“Heh… Sister? Honestly, can you truly say you only see her as a sister? No hidden desires at all? Look at you now, you’re like a jealous husband who’s caught his wife cheating! Too bad she’s already been with other men… Haha… Your lingering thoughts are useless.”

Shen Qian no longer got angry; instead, he loosened his grip and stood upright. His dark eyes showed no hint of emotion. He straightened his collar and turned away. “There won’t be a next time.”

Facing away from him, Song Lin couldn’t discern the emotions on his face. However, Shen Qian’s cold and indifferent attitude only provoked him further. “Why bother? It’s just the two of us here. Is there any point in pretending?” “Pretending?” Shen Qian turned around.

Song Lin’s smile grew broader, but the movement tugged at the injury on his face, causing a twinge of pain that made him furrow his brows. Still, his eyes remained filled with wickedness and coldness. “Isn’t everything happening here under your tacit approval? I did what you’ve been wanting to do but hesitating about. In the end, you should be thanking me.”

Shen Qian’s expression remained blank. “Nonsense.”

“Do you dare say that you took her out without any ulterior motives? If I’m not mistaken, you suspect her, although I don’t know exactly what you’re suspicious of. But some probing was inevitable, sooner or later. Besides, you watched her drink that glass of wine last night with your own eyes. All Qian, you weren’t even drunk at that time. Perhaps you had some hesitations, but in the end, you tacitly approved of my actions, didn’t you?”

“Do you remember the question I asked you when I first arrived here, in the lobby downstairs?”

“Ah Qian, does your sister seem easy to bully?”

Back then, Shen Qian had not responded.

“In that case, I’ll take your silence as consent.”

Consent to what?

Consent to bullying Shen Wan!
