I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot

Chapter 200 - 200 The Game Has Just Begun



200 The Game Has Just Begun

Shen Hanyu’s heart skipped a beat. He looked at Xie Shi’an meaningfully. “She told you that she’s my wife?”

Xie Shi’an suppressed his emotions. “What else? She’s already married to you, so who else would be her husband?”

Shen Hanyu’s gaze unconsciously shifted to the small courtyard where Sang Qianqian lived. So, she had never told Xie Shi’an about their breakup?

Shen Hanyu couldn’t help but smile. “Qianqian is afraid that I’ll be worried, so she won’t tell me anything.”

!!

Xie Shi’an looked at Shen Hanyu with a complicated expression. Was he showing off on purpose?

After a moment of silence, he still explained the general situation of Sang Qianqian’s suspension.

The faint smile on Shen Hanyu’s face disappeared and was replaced by a dark and cold expression. Was Ruan Cheng threatening her to hand over the video by getting her fired so that she would never be able to become a doctor again?

He was really capable of doing that.

“Ruan Cheng won’t be in the police station for long. I believe he’ll be out soon.”

Although Xie Shi’an did not want to talk to Shen Hanyu, he still emphasized for Sang Qianqian’s sake. “For her safety, you’d better take her away from the country. Don’t let Ruan Cheng’s people find her.”

Shen Hanyu’s eyes were cold as he smiled. “Qianqian won’t leave. She’ll stay with me in the capital.”

Xie Shi’an looked at him indifferently. “Shen Hanyu, don’t go head-to-head with Ruan Cheng. You’re no match for him. Ruan Cheng is unscrupulous when it comes to achieving his goals. He’s willing to do anything.”

“Is that so?”

Shen Hanyu dusted his sleeves indifferently. “It just so happens I’m that kind of person too.”

He glanced at Xie Shi’an and said nonchalantly, “Tell Ruan Cheng I’ll be waiting for him to come out.”

Back in the car, Shen Hanyu called Fang Lan. “Fang Lan, there are some adjustments to the plan. It needs to be brought forward.”

The news of Ruan Cheng being taken away by the police station was obviously kept a secret. However, for some reason, it spread throughout the capital in one night.

The public opinion on the internet was boiling, and the Ruan family’s stocks plummeted. Needless to say, the losses they suffered were severe.

When the house was leaking, it would rain heavily overnight. Moreover, the ship was late as it was hit by the wind.

The Ruan family had a wide range of businesses, but the most important ones were banking and shipping.

There were some problems with the customs documents for several large batches of goods belonging to the Ruan family, and they were seized at the Customs Office in the port.

Then, the Shipping Registration System of several ports under the Ruan family suddenly broke down.

As a result, there was no way to register the arrival and departure of goods at the port. Countless goods were overstocked, and the orders were in chaos.

The bank under the Ruan family was originally a private bank with the best reputation in the country and was deeply trusted by large domestic enterprises. However, they didn’t expect that the bank’s cash flow system would also have a problem.

Once the system malfunctioned, the bank wouldn’t be able to handle the deposit, withdrawal, and transfer of funds as usual.

Although these issues only lasted for two hours, this was enough to make the customers curse.

Once these words and deeds were magnified by the media, it had a huge impact on the reputation of the Ruan family’s bank.

The Xie family, who had always been at odds with the Ruan family, not only secretly fueled the public opinion, but they even took advantage of the situation and wanted to trample the Ruan family to death.

Ruan Xiaoshuang had never seen such a crisis before.

She was so anxious and helpless that she went to look for Xie Shi’an with reddened eyes. “My brother can’t come out now, and Cui Xu is accompanying him at the police station. I can’t do this alone. Shi’an, won’t you come back and help me?”

Xie Shi’an looked at her haggard and tired face, as well as her red and swollen eyes. His heart softened.

After all, the Ruan family had been kind to him and his sister. Moreover, Ruan Xiaoshuang was like an older sister to him.

Although he was extremely dissatisfied with Ruan Cheng, he did not want to see the Ruan family fall to the bottom again and be trampled by the Xie family.

Just like that, Xie Shi’an returned to the Ruan family and, together with Ruan Xiaoshuang, turned the tide.

Ruan Cheng stayed at the police station for seven days.

His body was too weak, so the police arranged for him to be sent to a specific hospital. They had wanted to detain him for a while.

However, his trusted aide, Cui Xu, had turned himself in.

Chui Xu explained all the details of the shooting in detail, including how he contacted the murderer, purchased the gun, chose the location and time for action, and even submitted his contact records with the murderer as well as payment of the remuneration.

The evidence was as clear and detailed as it could be. As for the motive for the crime, it also sounded reasonable.

“Back then, Lord Cheng arranged for Young Master An to go to Ming City to celebrate Guo Dingsong’s birthday. He was worried that something would happen to Young Master An, so he asked me to follow him in secret.”

Cui Xu said, “On the night of the birthday banquet, Young Master An got himself drunk because of Miss Sang. I watched him grow up, so I couldn’t bear to see him in so much pain. I just wanted to help Young Master An get the woman he likes.”

Cui Xu said that he was afraid Ruan Cheng would blame him, so he had kept the shooting from Ruan Cheng.

However, after the incident, Xie Shi’an mistakenly thought that it was Ruan Cheng who had arranged for him to do it. Ruan Cheng didn’t explain, causing the misunderstanding to deepen.

Cui Xu went on, saying that had been by Ruan Cheng’s side for many years and that he had made a mistake in a moment of folly.

“I don’t want to implicate Master Cheng. I’ll take responsibility and admit to what I’ve done.”

Of course, the police didn’t believe him. However, Cui Xu insisted that he was the one behind the case and that Ruan Cheng had nothing to do with it.

The police tried everything they could, but they couldn’t find any evidence that Ruan Cheng was involved in the shooting other than Xie Shi’an’s words and the simulated recording.

The police suspected that Ruan Cheng was the mastermind behind everything and that Cui Xu was just following orders. However, there was no substantial evidence, so they could only let him go.

Just like that, Ruan Cheng once again stayed out of the incident and retreated unscathed.

After seven days in prison, the world outside had already turned upside down.

Ruan Xiaoshuang and Xie Shi’an went to the police station to pick him up.

...

Ruan Cheng’s face was already pale due to his illness, and it looked even paler now. He kept coughing. After he got into the car, his gaze swept across Xie Shi’an, who was driving. “Why are you here?”

Xie Shi’an did not say anything.

“After Brother was taken away by the police, something happened at home. Shi’an came back to help me.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang helped explain the situation of the past few days in a soft voice. “Fortunately, things are looking better now. We have strengthened the defense measures. Now, the bank is back to normal and the port is still a little chaotic, but operations are slowly recovering.”

Ruan Cheng caressed the hand warmer in his arms, his eyes slightly focused.

It was clear that someone was deliberately targeting the Ruan family, and it must have been planned for a long time. That was why they could launch such an attack so methodically right after he was imprisoned.

After fighting with the Xie family for so many years, the current head of the Xie family was far from having such ability and means.

So, who was it?

Suddenly, Ruan Cheng’s phone rang with a ‘Ding’.

On the screen, there was a message without a caller ID.

“Do you like the meeting gift? Don’t worry, Ruan Cheng. The game has just begun.”

...

Ruan Cheng stared at the message with furrowed brows, the veins on the back of his pale hand popping.

Today was the seventh day of Sang Qianqian’s suspension. It was also the deadline for her to officially submit a statement to the hospital.

Standing outside the Director’s Office, Sang Qianqian took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and walked in.
