"If you don't start telling the truth, I will have someone bring your wife and child in here to join you in this basement," Shouya threatened coldly, his expression devoid of emotion.
"Please, don't bring my wife or my child! I swear, as long as you don't hurt them, I will tell you everything I know," Zhang Zhenghao pleaded in terror, hoping Shouya would spare his family.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Shouya's mouth. Regardless of the situation, a man would always be concerned about his family, and using them as leverage would certainly have some effect.
"Alright, go ahead! If you hide even a single thing from me, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will have your entire family killed. Their deaths will be solely your fault; no one else is to blame," Shouya threatened again.
"I was Master Bai's personal lawyer. While he was alive, he arranged for all his assets, including Bai Group, to be inherited by his daughter. The will was processed through me. However, unexpectedly, both Master Bai and Madam Bai died in a plane crash that year. During this time, Bai Jingsong offered me several million to alter the will. At first, I refused, but then he kidnapped my parents, my wife, and my young child. With no choice left, I had to help him change the will so that everything would go to Bai Jingsong alone. Master Bai's daughter was secretly sent to an orphanage in Beijing."
Zhang Zhenghao recounted everything to Shouya. Reflecting on those years, he felt helpless and forced into making those decisions.
Shouya understood that Zhang Zhenghao wouldn't dare conceal anything further. Without saying a word, he walked out of the room. With a loud bang, the bodyguard shut the iron door behind him.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhenghao endured the pain coursing through him and approached the iron door. Grasping the iron bars tightly with both hands, he shouted that he had revealed all the truths and asked what it would take for him to be released.
Shouya ignored him and left the basement with Rowe. Afterward, Rowe retrieved a brown paper bag from a car in the underground garage and said, "We found this in Zhang Zhenghao's safe at home. It contains two wills from twenty-one years ago—one is Master Bai's original will, and the other is a forgery."
Shouya took the documents and noticed that all the names in both wills had been altered. The forged signature of Master Bai was somewhat crooked; although it resembled his signature closely enough, it lacked the strength of Master Bai's authentic writing.
"Now that we have both eyewitnesses and physical evidence, that old fox should prepare for a court summons," Shouya said while holding the two wills. He instructed Rowe not to leak any information and to keep a close watch on those three individuals to ensure they didn't escape. However, he doubted they could run far; with his current influence, even if they fled to the ends of the earth, he could find them unless they were dead.
To be safe, Shouya also installed pinhole cameras in the basement to record everything they said during their conversations—just in case they attempted to provide false testimony in court.
That old fox was about to face legal consequences. The crime of forging and altering a will could land him decades in prison or even a life sentence. However, given his current age, by the time he was released from prison, he would likely be over seventy years old.
Shouya opened the car door, got in, and looked at the will in his hand. A smile of victory appeared on his lips, and An Xin Ya could rightfully reclaim Bai Group.
Driving back to the Beijing Millennium Hotel, he was relieved to find An Xin Ya still in the hotel room, bored and watching TV by herself. When An Xin Ya saw him return, she quickly jumped up from the sofa and threw herself into his arms, looking up at him with her sweet and innocent smile, softly calling out, “Brother Shouya!”
He reached out to ruffle her hair, gently pushed her away, and took her hand to sit down on the sofa, handing her the brown paper bag he was holding.
An Xin Ya looked at him with a puzzled expression, then glanced at the bag in his hand before taking it from him and asking, “What is this?” Upon opening it, she was astonished to find two completely different wills inside, both signed by the same person—her biological father, Bai Jingyan.
“One is the real will, while the other is a forgery,” Shouya pointed out the altered parts of the will and said, “Now that we have both witnesses and evidence, we are ready to take your uncle Bai Jingsong to court for inheritance fraud!”
She never expected her uncle to be such a treacherous person; judging by the dates, he had altered the will less than three days after her father's tragic accident.
An Xin Ya had no objections and decided to sue Bai Jingsong in her name, using the law to punish him severely in order to honor her father's spirit.
They planned to go to court the next day to file a lawsuit against Bai Group’s Chairman Bai, Bai Jingsong.
That afternoon, Shouya and Rowe personally visited the Bai Family company to meet that old fox. In the conference room, Shouya devised a plan to express his intention to invest in Bai Group, asking him to wait for the contract signing.
Upon hearing this good news, Bai Jingsong was very pleased and even invited Shouya and his subordinates to dinner at the Beijing Grand Hotel to celebrate.
Following his lead, Shouya went with him to eat and drink at the Beijing Grand Hotel. He brought along a few subordinates since he couldn't hold his liquor well. Meanwhile, Bai Jingsong brought his own Female Secretary.
The Female Secretary, dressed in a professional outfit that was both sexy and alluring, had three buttons of her white shirt undone, subtly revealing her cleavage. Although she wore glasses, her captivating gaze pierced through the lenses as she occasionally raised her glass to toast Shouya, leaning slightly towards him.
Shouya understood what Bai Jingsong, this old fox, was trying to do—he wanted to use his Female Secretary to seduce him so that she would spend the night with him. But someone as clever as him would never fall for such a trick!
Tonight, he can happily enjoy his meal and drinks, but tomorrow he should be ready to receive a court summons!
Although the Female Secretary has an impressive alcohol tolerance, she cannot withstand his subordinates. She has already rushed to the restroom to vomit, and has not come out for a while; it seems she has fainted in there.
Shouya basically hasn’t drunk much at all. Taking advantage of Bai Jingsong being passed out on the table, he suddenly asks him, “Did your brother Bai Jingyan have a daughter named Bai Huixin back in the day?”
Bai Jingsong groggily lifts his head, raises his heavy eyelids, and looks at Shouya with a dazed expression, then chuckles foolishly, “Mr. Shou, what are you trying to find out from me? What daughter? There’s none. Where did you hear that? My brother died over twenty years ago, and my infertile sister-in-law…”
“I was just asking casually.” They say that people speak the truth when drunk, but this old fox is tight-lipped even when intoxicated, unwilling to reveal anything.
Shouya ignores him and instructs someone to take Bai Jingsong back. He then stands up and leaves the hotel, driving back to Millennium. He takes out his room card, opens the door, and walks in. He doesn’t see Xinya in the living room, so he heads into the bedroom but finds no sign of her there either.
Where could she be? Just then, he hears water splashing from the bathroom. He quietly approaches the bathroom door, gently turns the handle, and steps inside to find Xinya taking a shower.
“Xinya…” Shouya suddenly calls her name. It has been a week since he last saw her body, and he is feeling desperate!
It has been a week; she still hasn’t let him touch her body. Even just a glance would quench his thirst.
“Who?” An Xinya is startled and quickly wipes her face dry. Only then does she realize it’s Shouya. She freezes for a moment, her face flushing red as she hurriedly grabs a towel to cover herself and scolds shyly, “Brother Shouya, how could you just walk in like that?”
“I’m your man; why can’t I come in?” Shouya steps closer to An Xinya, cups her face in his hands, gazes deeply into her eyes like water, then lowers his head to kiss her lips passionately, kissing and savoring her… inviting her to play along.
An Xinya feels dizzy from his kiss and nearly loses consciousness. She quickly regains her senses, opens her eyes wide, pushes him away forcefully, pouting angrily as she says, “Brother Shouya, you’re so bad! You’re taking advantage of me!”
“Ah, that’s quite…” Shouya feels somewhat embarrassed. His white shirt is already dampened, revealing his tan skin underneath. Looking at her fair shoulders makes him feel hot; he quickly reacts without thinking too much about it. The pent-up desire from several days needs release; without saying another word, he scoops her up in his arms.
"Brother Shouya, you... put me down, put me down!" The soft pink fists pounded against his chest, and the shy An Xin Ya's face was already flushed. She was both angry and embarrassed.
Shouya looked at the woman in his arms with a wicked smile, the corners of his mouth slightly raised as he carried her out of the bathroom and gently laid her down on the bed.
An Xin Ya knew she couldn't escape his grasp tonight, so she obediently submitted, no longer struggling or refusing. She lowered her eyelids, her long and beautiful eyelashes casting a delicate shadow under the soft light.
Seeing this made Shouya's heart ripple like a lake surface. He reached out to remove the white towel covering her, revealing her snow-white skin glistening with droplets of water, sparkling in the light.
"Mm..." she let out a soft sound, her hands instinctively wrapping around his body, feeling an intense sensation throughout her being.
Every inch of skin he kissed made her tremble slightly, a warm current coursing through her body, filling her with a wonderful and exhilarating feeling.
As he kissed her, he eagerly shed his clothes until there were no constraints left on his body.
She looked at him but couldn't help turning away, too embarrassed to look any longer; her face was already red to the roots of her ears.
"Mm..." she let out a muffled sound from her lips as he leaned down again to kiss her.
An Xin Ya's flushed face grew even redder as she clutched him tightly, leaving behind red marks on his skin.
He felt heat rising to his face, beads of sweat forming on his forehead and body, trickling down...
