The next day, Shen Wanci was woken up by a ring of the phone. Because of what happened last night, Lao Xu had specially given her a few days off to rest at home.

The call was from the property management. They stammered apologetically, "Mrs. Bo, there are two people at the front door who want to see you. It's your father and sister."

"Not seen."

After Shen Wanci finished speaking, she was about to hang up the phone. Shen Zhengan's anxious voice came from the other end, "Wanci, I found your mother's phone."

“...”

Back then, she was young and thought her mom had died in a car accident. She was heartbroken and couldn't bring herself to think about material possessions.

Later on, when I realized something was wrong and tried to find my phone, it was gone. I couldn't find it even through the phone company's records.

She asked Shen Zhen'an, he said he hadn't seen it, estimating that it was thrown out during the car accident.

Right now, after so many years, the phone suddenly reappeared. If Shen Zhenan wasn't lying, it meant Mom's death was related to him, which is why he left the phone behind but kept it a secret from her.

Shen Wanci coldly said, "Let them come in."

With bodyguards around, they wouldn't even be able to do anything even if they had the intention.

Ten minutes later, Shen Zhenan brought Shen Xuan up.

At first glance, Shen Wanci almost didn't recognize the woman who was thin as a bamboo pole as Shen Xuan. Her face was haggard, pale and yellowish, with spots on her face.

Most importantly, Shen Xuan, who always liked to compare herself to others, surprisingly didn't wear any makeup today.

As soon as he entered, Shen Zhenan sternly rebuked, "Get down on your knees!"

Shen Wanci didn't know who he was shouting at first. It wasn't until she saw Shen Xuan kneel before her with a 'thump' that she realized it. Shen Zhenan would actually have his most beloved daughter kneel to her?

She stepped aside, though she disliked Shen Xuan, she didn't like being knelt upon.

"I'm not dead yet, it's too early to kowtow. Just tell me what you want, no need for all this."

“This rebellious girl, I'll leave her punishment to you today. Wanci, don't show her any mercy. Make her kneel until you are satisfied.” The speaker was Shen Zhenan, his angry voice making Shen Wanci’s ears ring. She had been deeply stimulated twice last night and only fell asleep close to dawn. The aftereffects of staying up all night were now all showing: she felt dizzy, lightheaded, weak in her limbs.

She frowned, moving away from Shen Zhen'an, "What did she do? You came here early in the morning to ask for her forgiveness?"

Actually, Shen Wanci had probably guessed it.

Last night that group of people were really incompetent, anyone with a little bit of connections wouldn't hire such assistants.

She looked at Shen Xuan kneeling there, his face full of defiance, her mind went blank.

Shen Zhenan truly loves his daughter Shen Xuan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have put down his pride and apologized to her with a step back. Whatever punishment she gave her was just a choice between her and Bo Jingzhou, as he felt she wouldn't be ruthless.

Shen Wanci couldn't help but think of last night's scene... She really couldn't be as ruthless as Bo Jingzhou.

Shen Zhenan glared with fury, his face contorted in anger. "This rebellious girl! To actually resort to hiring someone to scare her own sister – she's utterly heartless! I must kill her today, don't stop me!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanci stepped aside to give him plenty of room to work.

Shen Zhen'an: ...

He just wanted to act tough, but now he was in a difficult position. He had no choice but to slap Shen Xuan hard across the face. 'Slap!' The sound alone made it clear how much force he used.

Shen Wanci smiled faintly: "She wasn't just trying to scare me, she hired someone to kill me. Since you know it was her people, don't you know those people carried daggers?"

Shen Xuan was already fuming with anger. If it wasn't for Shen Zhengan pulling her over to apologize, she wouldn't have suffered such humiliation: "Shen Wanci, stop falsely accusing me! I only asked those people to take pictures. Don't think I don't know what you did. You were the one who orchestrated all those attacks against me before."

Shen Wanci ignored her and turned her gaze to Shen Zhenan, "Where's my mom's phone?"

Shen Zhen'an looked at his daughter, who had nothing to do with him. Disgust flashed in his eyes. He had raised her for so many years, even a dog would wag its tail at him, but she was like a white-eyed wolf, always baring her teeth, wishing she could pounce on him and take two bites.

Such a daughter who won't help him and isn't close to him is useless to keep.

Well, there's not much point in hiding things anymore then.

"I can give you the phone, but on one condition: you make Bo Jingzhou stop interfering in this."

If it weren't for Bo Jingzhou, he wouldn't have rushed to apologize with Xiao Xuan.

Shen Wanci: "Okay, bring it here."

She agreed promptly. Shen Zhenan hesitated instead, "Are you really willing to let him just get away with it?"

When did Shen Wanci become so magnanimous? She's practically the big sister of Guanyin Bodhisattva!

"That depends on what you bring. If it's worthless, just a wiped phone, then get lost."

Shen Zhen'an took out a phone from his pocket, opened the call log and showed it to her. Sure enough, there was content on it, and the time was from ten years ago.

Although I don't know if those people have changed their numbers, at least it's a lead.

Shen Wanci reached out to take it, but Shen Zhen'an didn't give it to her. "Call Bo Jingzhou first," he said.

Shen Xuan saw this and shouted, "I have one more condition, I want to work for the Bo family!"

After the scandals were exposed, no company wanted to hire her. She now stays home every day and can't go anywhere.

Shen Zhenan coldly snorted, "Shut up!"

Shen Wanci dialed Bo Jingzhou's number in front of them and turned it on speakerphone.

The phone was answered, and a man's cold voice came through: "What is it?"

This voice, this feeling… it’s completely different from the madman who almost overpowered her last night.

This realization left Shen Wanci momentarily stunned. Could he be schizophrenic?

Wearing a suit and not wearing a suit is the difference between human and beast!

Her silence made Bo Jingzhou a little impatient: "Shen Wanci, speak."

Last night's events cast a heavy psychological shadow over her. Shen Wanci spoke in a tense voice, her back straight. Even through the phone, she worried that Bo Jingzhou would pounce on her face in the next second.

"About last night, you don't need to investigate anymore. Let it go."

Seeing Shen Zhengan so anxious, Bo Jingzhou estimated that he was about to find the mastermind behind it all.

The person on the other end went silent, and even the sound of pages turning disappeared.

After a long silence, the man's suppressed anger rose again: "Shen Wanci, do you know what you're saying?"
