ihuan must have saved the Milky Way galaxy in her past life to find such a perfect man!"Feeling the envious gazes around them, Bai Yi raised her chin with a smile that grew wider, and she linked arms...Shen Yuqing came to find Su He. It seemed she didn't take Su He seriously, only bringing five bodyguards to stand guard at the door.

And as for Su He, inside and out, openly and secretly, everyone was protecting her.

When Shen Yuqing's heart-wrenching cries of pain came, the bodyguards guarding outside noticed something was wrong and immediately wanted to rush in.

As soon as they made a move, those who were originally sitting in front of computers typing, copying documents at the copier, or even getting water from the tea room, rushed out.

No fewer than ten people surrounded the bodyguard outside.

Shen Yuqing's bodyguard naturally wouldn't be weak, but those following Su He were carefully selected by Shen Xingfan and specially trained. With the advantage of fewer enemies, they quickly subdued the bodyguards and pressed them to their knees on the ground.

Through the remaining glass, Yu Mu and He Jie saw this scene, but they were not surprised at all.

Only a few secretaries in the President's Office heard the commotion and turned pale, but they remained silent, bowing their heads and daring not to look in the direction of the reception room.

"Mr. Su, may I come in"

The sound coming from outside the door was very familiar. Su He recognized it as the bodyguard arranged by Shen Xingfan at the company.

She slanted her eyes at Shen Yuqing, who was huddled in the corner, too afraid to speak. With a mocking smirk, she curled her lips and called out in a loud voice, "Come here."

The door to the reception room swung open, and a tall figure, no less than six feet three inches, strode in.

He saw a woman with disheveled hair squatting in the corner, burying her head in her knees. The guard didn't blink and walked straight to Su He's face.

Compared to Shen Yuqing, who was terrified and anxious, Su He only had a few red marks on his arm. It didn't look like he was seriously injured.

"Take Miss Shen out." Su He raised his eyes, his gaze disdainfully skimming over Shen Yuqing, then turned to the guards, "You should have ways to make someone unable to live or die. Treat her well, don't neglect our distinguished guest."

Su He deliberately stressed the tone on the two characters "貴客".

Having heard the commotion outside, she knew her people had taken control of Shen Yuqing's bodyguard.

Shen Yuqing naturally also heard, otherwise she wouldn't be so determined, being slapped by Su He several times until she was scared out of her wits, hiding in the corner and not daring to move.

The guard, seeing Su He's solemn expression, nodded in response. He stepped forward and grabbed Shen Yuqing's arm without a word, dragging her out roughly.

Shen Yuqing immediately roared in unwillingness.

As soon as he made a sound, the guard was quick to act. He whipped out a towel from somewhere and jammed it forcefully into Shen Yuqing's mouth.

A dusty cloth stuffed her mouth tightly, so that Shen Yuqing couldn't even utter a whisper.

Watching Shen Yuqing and her bodyguard being dragged away, Su He finally held the black box, his face pale as he returned to the office.

Although Su He knew the possibility of Shen Yuqing lying to her was slim, she still held onto a sliver of faint hope.

She first called to have someone contact the village headman from the village where she grew up and confirm if her adoptive mother's grave was still there.

The message came back quickly.

A week ago, her foster mother's grave was dug up and the coffin was pried open. The body was gone.

The last glimmer of hope has vanished.

Shen Yuqing didn't lie about this.

Su He stared at the remaining ashes, her teeth grinding.

Previously, she was too lenient when dealing with Shen Yuqing.

The stepmother was brutally murdered to protect her, and finally laid to rest. Now, because of her, she has been dug up from the grave and burned to ashes, not even finding peace in death.

Su He's eyes were bloodshot, her heart aching so badly it felt like it was going to burst.

Shen Yuqing did such a thing, she wouldn't punish Shen Yuqing properly, she would simply be betraying the kindness and care her foster mother had shown her for so many years!

Let Shen Yuqing taste the flavors of despair and collapse!

Su He had always been mild-tempered, so the guard was taken aback when she gave the order in such a cold voice. Without hesitation, he obeyed her command and locked Shen Yuqing away.

In the depths of an ancient forest, within a cave, serpents, worms, rats, and ants coexisted.

No food, no water.

To survive, one must not only coexist with snakes, insects, rats, and ants but also consume flesh.

In a cave where the sun and moon cannot be seen, time flows extremely slowly.

Shen Yuqing was already holding her breath, secretly praying for the bodyguard and her brother to come and save her.

However, for how long time passed, no human voices were heard besides the sounds of animals, nor was a single person seen.

More and more venomous snakes are appearing in the cave, no matter how she hides, she can't escape.

A cold snake slithered across her body, and a rat bit her ankle...

Shen Yuqing couldn't sleep, her whole body was on the verge of collapse. In the end, she even cried out for help, with no strength left to curse. She gasped weakly, staring blankly with eyes full of despair.

Su He would naturally not let Shen Yuqing die easily in the cave.

As long as Shen Yuqing was unconscious or bitten by a venomous snake, the guards would take her out of the cave and send doctors to treat her.

Wait until she recovers, then throw her back into the pit.

After such repetitions, Shen Yuqing finally lost his initial arrogance and only kept begging to see Su He.

Su He didn't have time to pay attention to Shen Yuqing.

Chen Yuqing only gave her a small urn of ashes. The rest, Chen Yuqing insisted, had been scattered.

Su He tried to find out, but found that Shen Yuqing's words were true.

After Shen Yuqing's people took her foster mother's remains out of the coffin, they burned them, only keeping a small handful. The rest were thrown into an abandoned sewage ditch at the back of the village.

Upon hearing this news, Su He's heart was filled with the desire to kill Shen Yuqing.

She really didn't want to see Shen Yuqing.

I'm afraid I might lose control and kill Shen Yuqing.

Su He found a temple with strong incense and placed his foster mother's remaining ashes in a place of worship.

She also spared no expense to have the temple monks perform rituals for her mother and invited high monks to officiate over her mother's passing.

It's not superstition, but for peace of mind.

As a stepmother, she had suffered her whole life, and Su He couldn't bear the thought of her not finding peace even after death.

All of this was done silently, even Shen Rufeng was kept in the dark.

It's probably the news that Shen Yuqing came to her company and then disappeared, which reached the Shen family. Both Shen Zhaolin and Gu Qingcheng called, worried that she might have been taken advantage of by Shen Yuqing.

Su He didn't want Shen Zhaolin and Gu Qingcheng to be caught, so she told them the truth about how she had treated Shen Yuqing.

Upon learning that Shen Yuqing had actually desecrated Su He's mother's grave, Gu Qingcheng was enraged and wanted to kill him: "Such audacity! He's truly a viper raised by the Second House. This kind of person should be killed outright!"

Shen Zhaolin was comforting Gu Qingcheng and then instructed Su He: "Nannan, you did nothing wrong. If those two scoundrels, Shen Chaoyang, come looking for trouble because of Shen Yuqing, you don't have to worry about us. Do whatever you need to do to deal with them."

Before, Su He still worried that she had done too much and would implicate her parents in the capital. Hearing their words now, she felt even more determined about her own calculations.

However, before Su He could even make a move, a grand gift was presented to her.ed a call from Huo Yirou, who invited her for coffee.Huo Yirou's voice sounded listless, as if she was in low spirits.Su He and Gu Qingcheng greeted each other. Knowing that she was going to meet Huo...
