The next day.
Lin Wanfu received the news early in the morning: all shareholders of the Lin Group had withdrawn their investments, and not a single person in Jinghai City was willing to cooperate with the Lin family.
The Lin family had completely collapsed. All their real estate had been mortgaged and liquidated, including the old mansion.
Yet, this still couldn’t cover the massive debt.
Lin Wanfu knew very well that all of this was Shen Congyan’s doing. He wanted to force her to yield.
Lin’s Father watched as the doors of the old mansion gradually closed. His face grew even paler, but remembering he still had a daughter to care for, he forced himself to stay strong.
“Fufu, let’s go.”
“Dad, let me help you with some luggage.” Lin Wanfu extended a fair, delicate hand toward her father—a hand that clearly had never carried anything heavy, having lived a life of comfort.
Lin’s Father gently shook his head. “No need. There isn’t much anyway. I can carry it.”
Indeed, with the Lin family’s bankruptcy and liquidation, there wasn’t much they could take with them.
Lin Wanfu withdrew her hand, thoughtfully touching the emerald necklace around her neck.
This necklace wasn’t worth much, which was why she was able to take it from the Lin family’s old mansion.
Lin’s Father gazed steadily at Lin Wanfu. “Fufu, believe in your father. I will rise again.”
“Yes, I believe in you, Dad.” Lin Wanfu gave her father a sweet smile.
Just as Lin Wanfu and her father were about to turn and leave, dozens of black luxury cars appeared at the end of the road.
The leading luxury car slowly came to a stop. The door opened, and a man in a sharp suit stepped out.
He then strode leisurely toward the father and daughter standing at the intersection, his long legs carrying him forward.
His expression was as cold and detached as ever, his dark eyes devoid of any emotion. Yet, the imposing aura around him exuded an overwhelming sense of pressure.
“Shen Congyan, what more do you want?”
Lin’s Father instinctively shielded Lin Wanfu behind him, glaring angrily at the approaching man.
He had never hated anyone so much in his life.
Yes, it was true—the Lin family had wronged Shen Congyan. But now that the Lin family had gone bankrupt, and he and his daughter were left with overwhelming debts, shouldn’t what they owed him be considered repaid?
Yet this beast, Shen Congyan, was still pressing relentlessly, refusing to let his daughter go.
As Shen Congyan drew closer step by step, his personal information appeared before Lin Wanfu’s eyes.

】
Looking at the “Interests and Hobbies” section, Lin Wanfu couldn’t help but suspect that Shen Congyan was actually a reincarnated sex-crazed beast.
What decent person lists that as a hobby?
How utterly absurd!
Shen Congyan didn’t even glance at Lin’s Father. He simply raised his hand and gestured with his fingers, and immediately, bodyguards stepped forward to pull away the father shielding Lin Wanfu.
The events of the previous day were still vivid in Lin’s Father’s mind. The moment he saw Shen Congyan approaching Lin Wanfu, his eyes turned red with rage. Struggling against the bodyguards, he roared at Shen Congyan, “Don’t you dare touch Fufu!”Watching Lin’s Father being taken away by two black-suited bodyguards, Lin Wanfu clenched her fists tightly. “Shen Congyan, how much longer do you think you can swagger around? I might as well tell you—I contacted Brother Ah Jin last night, and he’s returning this afternoon. When he arrives, I’ll make sure you pay for this!”
“Brother Ah Jin? How affectionate.”
Shen Congyan gripped Lin Wanfu’s chin with one hand, his invasive gaze sweeping inch by inch over her brows and eyes before settling on her slightly parted red lips. His tone carried a hint of undisguised coldness. “Miss Lin, do you really think that useless Shen Huaijin can protect you?”
With her face held firmly by Shen Congyan’s strong hand, Lin Wanfu’s words came out slightly slurred. “Brother Ah Jin said that as long as he’s here, he won’t let you hurt me!”
Knowing Shen Congyan as she did, she was certain that saying this would provoke his anger toward Shen Huaijin.
From the very beginning, her goal had been to pit Shen Congyan and Shen Huaijin against each other.
After all, Shen Huaijin was no saint either.
According to the novel’s plot, Shen Huaijin had agreed to help her repay the Lin family’s debts, but only on the condition that she marry him.
This act of taking advantage of her desperation was, in essence, no different from Shen Congyan’s forceful coercion through power and influence.
Shen Congyan suddenly leaned close to Lin Wanfu, his cold lips brushing against her ear as he whispered, “Is that so? Then I’ll deal with Shen Huaijin first, and then take my time playing cat and mouse with you, Miss Lin.”
“Don’t be so arrogant! Do you really think you can control everything? Brother Ah Jin is now the heir of the Shen family. How dare you talk about killing him? Dream on!”
Lin Wanfu pushed hard against Shen Congyan, who remained unmoving.
Frustrated, she impulsively stomped on his expensive leather shoes.
“Lin Wanfu, are you trying to die?!”
The sharp pain caused Shen Congyan’s expression to falter for a moment.
Three years apart, and this infuriating woman’s spoiled temper hadn’t changed a bit—still lashing out at the slightest provocation.
Treating her well was taken for granted, but the moment something didn’t go her way, it was an unforgivable crime.
So foolish, selfish, and malicious.
He couldn’t fathom what he had ever seen in her.
Lin Wanfu wasn’t the least bit afraid of Shen Congyan, whom she saw as nothing more than a paper tiger. She lifted her chin defiantly. “Who told you to get so close to me and try to take advantage? You’re nothing but a toad lusting after swan meat—you deserve it!”
Shen Congyan sneered, suddenly wrapping an arm around Lin Wanfu’s slender waist and pulling her against him. “Miss Lin, should I call you naive or just plain stupid? If I really wanted to take advantage of you, do you believe that by tonight, you’d be delivered to my bed as a gift, completely at my mercy?”
Unable to break free from Shen Congyan’s grip, Lin Wanfu glared at him fiercely. “You’re nothing but a beast!”
“Well said, Miss Lin. I suppose I am.”
With that, Shen Congyan began leading Lin Wanfu toward the car, as if intent on dealing with her right then and there.
“Help…” Lin Wanfu’s cry for help was swallowed by Shen Congyan’s fierce, almost devouring kiss, as though he wanted to consume her whole.
Feeling Shen Congyan’s hand roaming over her thigh through the thin fabric of her dress, Lin Wanfu panicked completely, silently calling out to System 0573 in her mind.At this moment, restrained by another, she deeply regretted not knowing when to stop and instead foolishly provoking Shen Congyan.
【Host, it’s okay. I’ve detected the male lead’s emotional fluctuations. As long as you don’t provoke him further, he won’t actually do anything too extreme to you in the car.】
System 0573 watched its host being bullied, feeling extremely anxious.
However, with its energy depleted, it could only worry helplessly.
Even with System 0573’s reassurance, Lin Wanfu was still terrified.
In the plot, she had been pinned down by Shen Congyan for three days and three nights until she died—how could she not be afraid?
Her clear eyes gradually misted over with tears, her eye sockets reddening, making her look both pitiful and easy to bully.
Seeing Lin Wanfu like this, Shen Congyan’s movements paused slightly.
But soon, he returned to his previous cold and domineering attitude. “Now you’re scared?”
“You only know how to bully me. I hate you,” Lin Wanfu’s soft, delicate voice carried a hint of tears.
Shen Congyan couldn’t bear to see her like this. He took a tissue and gently wiped away her tears. “How is this bullying?”
Compared to the methods he used against others, what he did to Lin Wanfu was like children playing house.
Unexpectedly, Lin Wanfu cried even harder.
“My family has already been bankrupted by you. My father and I owe a huge debt, and we’re almost left with no way out. How else do you want to bully me? Do you have to drive me to my death?”
Hearing this, Shen Congyan’s eyes darkened. He gently stroked Lin Wanfu’s delicate face. “If you just beg me, I’ll let you go and spare the Lin family.”
“Impossible! Don’t even dream about it!”
Lin Wanfu was a pampered young lady who grew up being doted on by everyone. It had always been others who bowed their heads to her.
Although she knew the plot in advance and would show weakness out of fear of Shen Congyan, the idea of begging him was absolutely out of the question.
“Then don’t blame me for being ruthless, Lin Wanfu. This is what you owe me, and you deserve it!”
Shen Congyan’s cold, oppressive aura surged, relentlessly enveloping Lin Wanfu’s jade-like skin, carrying an indescribable, scorching heat.
