Shen Yanzhi couldn’t hear clearly, but he knew the call was about Zhao Sinian.

When he saw the excited look on Jiang Li’s face after she hung up, a suffocating panic set in, and his heart felt as heavy as a stone.

However, to keep Jiang Li from noticing anything was amiss, he put on a polite smile when she returned, pretending he knew nothing.

But the moment Jiang Li returned, she said, "You should head back without me in a bit."

Shen Yanzhi’s hands, resting at his sides, clenched into fists. ’Does Jiang Li really like Zhao Sinian that much?’

’She gets this excited just hearing news about him, and she even wants to go find him right away.’

The humiliating feeling of being cuckolded washed over him.

Seeing Shen Yanzhi stare at her with an ashen face, silent for a long moment, Jiang Li couldn’t help but touch her own cheek. "What’s wrong?" she asked, puzzled.

Shen Yanzhi took a deep breath. Instead of answering, he asked, "Is there somewhere you need to be?"

Jiang Li shook her head. "It’s nothing major. I just need to go confirm something."

’It wasn’t that she was unwilling to tell Shen Yanzhi about Zhao Sinian. The main reason was that she’d noticed Shen Yanzhi didn’t seem to like talking about him.’

’In that case, it was better to say nothing at all. At least that way, she wouldn’t upset him.’

Shen Yanzhi gritted his teeth. "If it’s nothing major, then I’ll go with you."

’If she lets me come along, maybe I’m just overthinking things. Maybe there really is nothing between her and Zhao Sinian, no lingering feelings.’

’But if she doesn’t let me go, that means she still has feelings for him.’

’As long as she doesn’t ask for a divorce, what does it matter if I’m a cuckold?’

’She’s my wife, and the child is mine.’

’Everything she could give me, she has—everything except her heart.’

’They say a man’s heart is where his money is, and the same goes for a woman.’

’Since Jiang Li is willing to spend money on him and his family, it must mean he holds some place in her heart.’

’It might not be as high as Zhao Sinian’s place, but he’d be satisfied just to have a foothold.’

Jiang Li had no idea about the convoluted thoughts running through Shen Yanzhi’s mind. Hearing he wanted to go, she immediately shook her head and refused. "No, you can’t come!"

Shen Yanzhi’s face instantly turned deathly pale. "Why can’t I?"

Jiang Li stomped her foot. "Jeez! You have to give me some personal space! Besides, Xu Shijie is coming with me, so there’s no question about my safety."

’If I really let Shen Yanzhi come with me, all hell would break loose.’

’So, for the sake of marital harmony, it’s best he doesn’t come along.’

Seeing how firm Jiang Li’s attitude was, Shen Yanzhi could only nod in agreement, no matter how awful he felt.

He could only force a smile. "Then come back early."

Jiang Li made an OK sign with her hand. "Don’t worry, I promise I’ll be back soon."

’After all, she was just going to confirm if what Jiang Yuemo said about Zhao Sinian was true. She wasn’t going to do anything else.’

The two of them left the private room and went downstairs. Xu Shijie and the other three were already waiting at the entrance.

Jiang Li looked at Xu Shijie. "Xu Shijie, you’re coming with me."

Xu Shijie nodded. "Yes, Boss Jiang."

’She would have liked to take both Xu Shijie and Wei Chuan, but they only had two cars. If she took both of them, the rest would have to take a taxi.’

’It was better to just take one person. Their skills were all comparable, anyway.’

Once Jiang Li and Xu Shijie had left, Wei Chuan and the others exchanged glances. Finally, Wang He stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Shen, where are we headed now?"

Shen Yanzhi closed his eyes and let out a long breath. Staring at the spot where the Porsche had disappeared, he said, "Home."

’He desperately wanted to follow them and see what Jiang Li was really up to, but her people were mercenaries. Their counter-surveillance skills were top-notch.’

’He didn’t want to lose his composure in front of Jiang Li. It was better to act like he knew nothing and just wait at home for her to return.’

’Jiang Li was a woman of her word. She always did what she promised.’

When they reached their destination, she saw them, just as described: Zhao Sinian and his family, kneeling on the ground, begging.

Their clothes were in tatters, their hair was a mess, and their faces were streaked with grime. They were completely unrecognizable from the people she once knew.

Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao seemed to have trouble moving; it looked as if their legs had been broken.

A smirk touched Jiang Li’s lips. "Serves them right," she muttered.

’If it hadn’t been for her all these years, Zhao Sinian and his family would probably still be farming back in their hometown.’

’They say you should never forget the one who dug the well you drink from, but Zhao Sinian and his family were ungrateful wretches, a bottomless pit that could never be filled.’
