Chapter 97

Tang Anqi looked at Ye Fengyun in surprise. “What are you doing here?”

Ye Fengyun replied, “I was about to ask you the same thing. Why isn’t a little kid like you sleeping at home? Running off to a nightclub in the middle of the night? If you don’t go back, your brother-in-law will beat you.”

“Get lost! Who’s my brother-in-law?” Tang Anqi snapped.

Ye Fengyun smiled silently and glanced toward Lin Lei, who was getting up not far away. “Calling your own sister-in-law to a nightclub this late at night—quite a unique taste, huh?”

Lin Lei stood up, laughing loudly, mocking, “Poor Ye Fengyun, you’re being cuckolded and don’t even realize it.”

“Oh?” Ye Fengyun looked at Lin Lei with interest.

Lin Lei sneered and pulled out his phone.

Ye Fengyun frowned. “You can watch that at home. Don’t bring it out here; it’ll corrupt the kid.”

“Stop!” Tang Anqi screamed and lunged forward, snatching the phone from Lin Lei’s hand.

Lin Lei cursed as he struggled with Tang Anqi. In the scuffle, the phone slipped from their grasp and slid to Ye Fengyun’s feet.

Ye Fengyun looked down and was stunned. The woman in the video was Tang Shihan?

He froze on the spot. How could it be Tang Shihan? In his memory, she wasn’t the type to be so promiscuous. So why was the woman in the video her?

Tang Anqi immediately got up, grabbed the phone, and started deleting the video.

But Ye Fengyun stopped her, snatching the phone away.

“Ye Fengyun, what are you doing?” Tang Anqi tried to take the phone back, but Ye Fengyun held it high out of her reach.

“Give it to me! Don’t watch it!” Tang Anqi’s voice trembled, close to tears.

Ye Fengyun’s eyes turned cold as he looked at the mocking Lin Lei. Suddenly, like a ghost, he stepped forward and grabbed Lin Lei by the neck, lifting him off the ground.

“You—you—”

Lin Lei never expected Ye Fengyun to dare lay a hand on him and was instantly terrified.

“You dare touch me?”

Ye Fengyun’s gaze was ruthless, radiating a murderous aura so intense it pressed down on Lin Lei like a mountain. His heart pounded wildly; his body felt weighted with lead. A chill crawled up from his feet along his spine to his head.

“Where did you get this?” Ye Fengyun demanded.

“I-I…” Lin Lei was stunned, never before encountering such a dreadful killing intent from Ye Fengyun.

“Where did you get it?” Ye Fengyun tightened his grip on Lin Lei’s neck.

Lin Lei’s face flushed red, struggling for breath as his eyes rolled back.

Tang Anqi was frightened by Ye Fengyun’s terrifying demeanor. This slovenly, ugly man had never shown such a dreadful side before. It was as if Lin Lei’s life was as insignificant as an ant’s; with just a slight squeeze, his head could be severed.

“Ye Fengyun, calm down!” Tang Anqi quickly grabbed Ye Fengyun’s leg.

Ye Fengyun’s eyes grew even colder as he pressed, “Tell me, where did the video come from?”

Lin Lei, scared to tears, opened his mouth but no sound came out.

“Ye Fengyun!” Tang Anqi screamed, “If you keep choking him, he’ll die! Then no one will be able to tell you where the video’s from!”

Only then did Ye Fengyun come to his senses and slowly loosen his grip.

Lin Lei fell to the ground, gasping painfully, coughing violently. He had nearly suffocated.

After catching his breath, Lin Lei stood up. Despite his fear of Ye Fengyun, his arrogance resurfaced.

“Ye—Ye Fengyun, you won’t dare kill me. If you kill me, you’ll never know who’s been sleeping with your wife!”

His mocking smile was full of scorn.

“You’re so mad, huh? Want to kill me? Too bad you can’t. It’s pathetic, Ye Fengyun. Tomorrow’s your wedding with Tang Shihan, and she’s been with another man. You’re a total fool, hahaha!”

Lin Lei laughed uproariously, slapping his thigh on the floor.

“Watch the video—Tang Shihan is so wild! Have you ever seen her like this? Do you know why you never see it? Look at your ugly face! She’d rather cheat than sleep with you!

“Why do you think some ugly nobody like you was accepted into the Tang family? Why do you think you got someone as beautiful and perfect as Tang Shihan? You don’t honestly believe she fell for your character, do you?

“Let me tell you: you’re just a cuckold holding the bag. Maybe the child in her belly isn’t even yours. You’re just a cheap substitute father, and someday someone else will raise your kid for you! Hahaha!”

Lin Lei grew more animated, oblivious to the increasingly deadly look in Ye Fengyun’s eyes.

Suddenly, Ye Fengyun vanished from sight. With a loud bang, Lin Lei was slammed into the wall. Ye Fengyun’s grip on his neck tightened even more.

“You dare—”

Blood trickled from the corner of Lin Lei’s mouth. His fierce expression masked his fear.

Ye Fengyun said coldly, “If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll kill you. Then no one will ever know about this. I’ll personally investigate everything afterward.”

“You—you can’t kill me!”

Lin Lei was truly terrified now, so scared he wet himself.

Ye Fengyun sneered, his murderous aura undiminished.

“You think I’m afraid? What could I, Ye Fengyun, possibly fear?”

This time, Ye Fengyun truly had murder in his heart.

Lin Lei broke down, tears and snot streaming as his arrogance vanished completely.

“Please don’t kill me! I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!” he begged.

Tang Anqi stood frozen, trembling, a warmth flowing beneath her skirt.

She was just a student—had never seen such a terrifying aura before. Even Lin Lei had been scared into wetting himself; how much more so a young girl like her?

“Where did the video come from?” Ye Fengyun demanded again.

Through his tears, Lin Lei answered, “I don’t know! Recently, Longhai Group changed its head in the middle of the night. I suspected something, so I hired a private detective and paid him well, promising double reward if he found evidence of Tang Shihan selling herself. He said this video leaked from inside Longhai Group, but I don’t know who from!”

Ye Fengyun narrowed his eyes but didn’t loosen his grip.

“Please spare me! I really don’t know anything else!” Lin Lei sobbed convulsively.

Ye Fengyun said nothing, silently releasing his hold.

Tang Anqi collapsed to the ground, pale, still unable to recover from the oppressive aura.
