“I’m reporting this! I already signed the papers—why are you still doing this to me?!
Fu Dongshou, you black-hearted bastard, I hope you die a horrible death!”
Shouts echoed from downstairs, and Shen Youchu immediately recognized the voice—it was Zong Huanyu.
“Released?” she wondered, kicking off the blanket and getting out of bed.
When she went downstairs, she saw Zong Huanyu crying and yelling hysterically.
Liu Tao, along with several people wearing red armbands, stood on either side of him.
“Zong Huanyu, you’d better take this chance to pack your things. Otherwise, when you’re sent to the Beidahuang Farm later, you’ll regret having nothing with you.”
Upon hearing this, Zong Sisi’s legs gave out and she collapsed to the ground, her face full of shock.
“Why Beidahuang again?”
At that moment, Zhang Cuihua, who had just returned from the hospital, happened to hear the news at the doorway.
When she woke up in the hospital, she had already heard some rumors about Fu Boda and Zong Huanyu. She hadn’t believed them at first—but now, hearing that Zong Huanyu was being sent down, she was terrified of getting implicated and immediately turned to flee.
Zong Xiaxia, also frightened, hid herself and didn’t dare come out, clinging tightly to her legs, her thoughts unclear.
Zong Huanyu glanced at Shen Youchu, then shook his head. He seemed to have accepted his fate and stopped shouting.
Instead, he quickly walked over to Zong Sisi and helped her up. Leaning close to her ear, he spoke in a low, urgent voice:
“Your matter… Dad has heard about it. It’s not impossible to fix it with money if we handle it properly.
Be careful of the Fu family man. After leaving this house, don’t provoke that Shen family girl.
Do you still remember the old mansion I used to take you to when you were a child?
There’s a cellar under the pigpen in the courtyard—that’s where I’ve hidden my private assets over the years.
The key to the safe in my room is inside the doll I gave you for your birthday.
Also, there’s a small safe under the big bed in the third-floor room. The password is your birthday.
The most valuable things of the Shen family are in that document folder. Remember that.”
As he spoke, Zong Huanyu’s gaze suddenly turned fierce. He stared hard at Shen Youchu, then continued to Zong Sisi:
“Remember this: only the ruthless survive. Everything I have today is because I wasn’t ruthless enough.”
At this moment, he truly regretted not killing Shen Youchu—the “jinx”—back then.
He had been thinking about it recently and suddenly remembered: the person who knocked him out that night was Shen Youchu. Everything that had happened to him since was because of her.
“Dad…” Zong Sisi clutched his hand tightly, choking up and unable to speak.
Zong Huanyu gently patted her face.
“Don’t say anything. Just remember what I told you.”
After that, he turned and went upstairs to pack.
Liu Tao and the red armband personnel followed behind him, monitoring him to prevent escape.
From the shadows, Zong Xiaxia saw Zong Huanyu whispering to Zong Sisi. Once the enforcement officers had stepped away, she hurried over and grabbed her sister.
“What did Dad just tell you?”
Shen Youchu also perked up her ears in mild interest. The earlier conversation had been too quiet for her to hear anything.
Zong Sisi glanced at Zong Xiaxia coldly and turned her head away, refusing to answer.
Zong Xiaxia immediately became furious, gripping her harder.
“Zong Sisi, are you trying to keep it all for yourself?”
“You’re hurting me! Are you insane? Let go!” Zong Sisi shoved her away hard.
At that moment, Zong Huanyu came downstairs after finishing his packing and saw the two sisters fighting again. He looked sternly at Zong Sisi.
“If she keeps acting like this, you don’t need to care whether she lives or dies. She’s just like her mother—cold and selfish since childhood.”
Zong Xiaxia shot him a venomous glare.
“Dad, if you’re leaving, then just go. Better die on the road and be done with it!”
“You—” Zong Huanyu nearly collapsed from rage on the spot.
Shen Youchu shook her head helplessly, watching the so-called “family harmony” drama unfold.
This family was truly something else. They used to pretend to be a loving father and daughters in front of her—but now they couldn’t even pretend anymore.
Liu Tao, responsible for escorting them, had also lost patience.
“Alright, enough. Let’s go. Time’s up.”
