Chapter 98: It's Simply Suicide!

The three of them had grown up together.

But since Feng Yuqi had been groomed by Shen Yan from a young age, Shen Sheng couldn't help but look down on him as well.

However, nothing major had happened over the years, and Feng Yuqi had always behaved properly, so no conflicts arose.

But now, Shen Sheng couldn’t hold back any longer.

How could he swallow the humiliation of Shen Yan losing face like this, being scolded right to his nose?

“There’s nothing inappropriate about it,” Shen Sheng said with a sinister smile. “What? You’re brothers with Shen Yan, but not with me?”

“Of course not, Brother Sheng...” Feng Yuqi tried to refuse, but Shen Sheng cut him off with a threat, “Then fight me!”

With no way to avoid it, Feng Yuqi braced himself.

No matter what, their relationship was master and servant, so Feng Yuqi dared not fight with full strength.

At first, Feng Yuqi could dodge Shen Sheng’s punches, only suffering minor scratches.

But Shen Sheng was dissatisfied.

He tilted his head, looking at Feng Yuqi with contempt, mocking, “What happened? After all this time, your punches have gone soft? That’s not right, is it?”

Bang!

Shen Sheng raised his hand and slammed a heavy punch onto Feng Yuqi’s forehead.

Feng Yuqi took the blow squarely; it felt like his bones might break.

“Has Shen Yan lowered his expectations of you over the years? Or is your boss abroad just that pathetic?”

Shen Sheng certainly knew how to hit a man’s sore spots. Both those people were untouchable to Feng Yuqi.

Feng Yuqi’s expression changed instantly. “Brother Sheng, you can say I’m useless, but don’t insult Brother Yan and my boss.”

“After all, you know well how capable Brother Yan and my boss are. If it weren’t for them, you wouldn’t have ended up in this mess today.”

That was the first time Feng Yuqi taunted Shen Sheng.

As expected, after hearing this, Shen Sheng’s face darkened.

Earlier, he had been half-joking, able to handle Feng Yuqi with ease.

But now, he was thoroughly angered.

“You’re nothing but a dog, raised in the Shen family from childhood, and you really think you’re on the same level as us?”

Shen Sheng’s heavy fist came down again. “Have I been giving you face all these years? And you dare mock me?”

Bang! Bang!

The dull thuds of fists striking flesh filled the room. Feng Yuqi didn’t utter a sound as he endured it.

Shen Sheng was right—Feng Yuqi was just a servant, powerless to resist.

Moreover, what he had said moments ago was indeed inappropriate.

He would pay for his slip of the tongue with these blows.

...

When Ye Yao Yao learned of this, it was as if she had fallen into an icy pit.

Feng Yuqi had been beaten badly and was so severely injured that after leaving the emergency room, he had to be placed in the ICU for several days.

When she arrived at the hospital, Yu Wanqing was outside the ward, crying her heart out.

Seeing Ye Yao Yao, Yu Wanqing flung herself into her arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Ye Yao Yao’s heart ached, and she could only comfort Yu Wanqing for the time being.

“Don’t worry, I’ll handle this.”

Though furious, Ye Yao Yao forced herself to remain calm and devise a plan.

She immediately had someone upload photos of Feng Yuqi’s injuries online, clearly explaining the whole situation.

To ensure more people knew the truth, Ye Yao Yao even used her financial power.

Thanks to that, Shen Sheng was soon thrust into the eye of the storm.

Everyone was condemning him.

“Seriously? How disgusting can a person be? Unable to win fairly, so he just beats up someone else’s secretary.”

“Does he think he can boss everyone around? Throw him in jail!”

“Even though it’s unlikely he’ll be imprisoned, if I ever see him again, I’ll definitely spit on him!”

...

Ye Yao Yao knew well that sending Shen Sheng to jail was nearly impossible, so she chose this method—publicly humiliating him.

But that wasn’t enough. Everything owed to them, Shen Sheng would have to repay, piece by piece.

Fortunately, Feng Yuqi had passed the danger zone, though he was injured in multiple places and needed to rest and recover.

Yu Wanqing collapsed into tears, not knowing what to say or whom to blame.

She was fully aware of the social hierarchy in the elite circle.

Feng Yuqi’s status was restricted, leaving him vulnerable to abuse.

Ye Yao Yao approached. Feng Yuqi still managed a smile for her, and it made her heart ache.

“It’s okay. You’ll recover fully in time. Don’t worry.”

Ye Yao Yao nodded at him. “The suffering you’ve endured, I’ll help you get justice for it.”

And she intended to make Feng Yuqi witness it all with his own eyes.

Shen Yan came to see Feng Yuqi but was at a loss for words.

He knew Feng Yuqi had been dragged into this because of him.

Yet Shen Yan hadn’t expected Shen Sheng to have become so ruthless, to the point of mercilessly attacking someone who had grown up with them.

He gently patted Feng Yuqi’s hand, his eyes reddened.

Yu Wanqing wanted to chase Shen Yan away since it was all his fault.

But considering Feng Yuqi’s current state, she held back.

Every day, Ye Yao Yao kept a close eye on the trending topics at work. Whenever Shen Sheng’s scandal appeared, she invested massive sums to keep it there, ensuring everyone saw how vile he was!

The public opinion surrounding a company’s management would affect its stock value.

Ye Yao Yao’s actions effectively cut Shen Sheng off from ever rising within the Shen Corporation again.

In the future, if the company ever considered promoting Shen Sheng, she would produce this scandal as proof.

As for Shen Sheng, he never expected Ye Yao Yao’s revenge tactics to be so relentless—now even using public opinion!

He sat beside a man who claimed to be a PR and hacking expert, angrily kicking him.

“Weren’t you supposed to be good? There’s nothing you can’t handle, right? Then what’s up with this trending topic? Why won’t it go down?”

The more Shen Sheng spoke, the angrier he became. Without hesitation, he kicked the man off the chair.

“Damn it! I’ve been getting cursed at by idiots for days, and this is how you handle it?!”

“Worthless piece of trash, taking money but not doing your job!”

Clang! The so-called hacking expert fell hard to the floor, silent.

The trending topics revealed just how violent and cruel Shen Sheng was.

He hadn’t wanted to take the job initially but had no choice.

Shen Sheng issued a life-or-death order: if he couldn’t fix this, he’d pay with his life.

During these days of battling, the hacking expert realized he was outmatched. Survival was paramount now.

He knelt and kowtowed heavily.

“Master Shen, please spare me! I... I truly can’t solve this!”

He lowered his head, trembling violently.

The room fell silent. The next moment, Shen Sheng raised his foot and lifted the man’s chin, his voice icy.

“What? You can’t fix this for me? Then what am I supposed to do?”

Shen Sheng smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. “I’ve pinned all my hopes on you. If you can’t solve it, then I’ll have to...”

He patted the hacker’s shoulder in lieu of finishing the sentence.

Terrified, the hacker trembled uncontrollably. How could he not understand Shen Sheng’s meaning?

He hated his previous recklessness—it was practically a death wish!
