Shen Cheng came downstairs, circled past the staircase entrance, and entered the inner hall.
All her subordinates saw her and immediately bent their bodies at a ninety-degree angle.
Their voices were humble and very respectful.
Hearing their voices, Cai Quan looked up at the newcomer.
At the moment he recognized Shen Cheng, his face changed abruptly, and he quickly looked away, bowing his head in panic and unease.
Shen Cheng identified him in just a glance as well.
She stood in place, with a trace of smile suddenly appearing on her originally calm face.
No matter when, her smile was always so beautiful.
Enchanting, dazzling, stunning everyone.
For a moment, the vast hall was eerily quiet.
Sun Yan stood beside Shen Cheng, not speaking, as if he read something from her expressive eyes.
Intangible pressure rushed towards them, Cai Quan’s legs went soft; he clenched his fists and finally mustered the courage to look up at Shen Cheng.
"Cheng... Chengzi..."
His voice lacked any confidence.
Shen Cheng just looked at him, her lips curved into a smile, "Don’t call my name."
Her voice wasn’t cold, yet it felt penetrating, like a sharp dagger, a light touch was all it needed to carve a piece of flesh from one’s body.
"Chengzi... don’t blame uncle, actually..."
While gazing at her, Cai Quan felt a mix of panic and remorse.
"Shut up, I don’t have an uncle like you."
Shen Cheng’s gaze, originally smiling, finally turned cold, icy, devoid of any emotion.
Cai Quan tried to explain something, but opening his mouth, he swallowed back the words he was about to speak.
His face was full of bruises, mixed with expressions of shame, unease, and resentment...
Every second here felt as agonizing as a year.
He turned his head towards Shi Yu, clenching his fists tighter, his eyes bloodshot, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do?" Shi Yu narrowed his profound eyes, looking at him with a disdainful gaze, "You should ask my woman what she wants to do."
Even if Shi Yu did not spell it out, Cai Quan understood his implication, and also realized the relationship between Shen Cheng and him.
He dared not act rashly, not even daring to speak carelessly.
Because he knew the powerful connections involved, anyone who could easily have him captured here was no ordinary person. If he wanted to leave here alive, he definitely couldn’t force his way.
"Chengzi, forgive your uncle, save me..."
Cai Quan was a man afraid of death, not willing to stake his life here, so he could only plead with his own niece.
"I told you to keep your mouth closed and not call my name."
Shen Cheng’s voice was very cold, devoid of any warmth.
But this time Cai Quan didn’t quickly shut up, he looked at Shen Cheng, his muddy eyes almost bloodshot, "Shen Cheng, if you stand by and watch me die, your mom in the hereafter will certainly blame you!"
Perhaps knowing that Shen Cheng wouldn’t soften, Cai Quan could only resort to mentioning his own sister.
Hearing his words, Shen Cheng laughed, laughing so heartily, "If my mom knows about this from the hereafter, she would definitely praise me for doing a splendid job! Save you? Sorry, I’m not that kind-hearted."
Cai Quan’s face turned ashen, his forehead veins bulging, a sign of extreme anger.
"Six years ago, I at least provided shelter to your family! You, you you you... dare to be so ungrateful!"
