58: Chapter 58 Living Like a Dog

Having stopped Shen Wen's grand comeback and prevented him from showing off, Chu Yuan had no intention of beating a drowning dog.

Under Shen Wen's gaze, he wrapped his arm around Zhou Xiaodie and strode away.

Steward Mo and the four bodyguards from the Shen Family were subdued by Chu Yuan's bodyguards and taken away together.

"Young Master, how should those people be dealt with?"

Zuo Shishi, who was just about to get into the car, asked casually.

"Find a good spot with nice feng shui and bury them."

With that casual remark, the fate of those people was sealed.

Zhou Xiaodie was so frightened she didn't know what to do; if not for Chu Yuan supporting her, she likely would have collapsed to the ground.

Upon hearing Chu Yuan sentence him to death, Steward Mo tried to struggle, but he was beaten severely by the bodyguards and dragged away by force.

"Damned live-in son-in-law, to think he actually hired a bunch of extras to act and dared to make a fool of our Zhou Family."

"Aren't you claiming to be the Young Master of the Shen Family? Our Zhou Family has always been hospitable, so we will certainly treat you in the grandest way possible."

After Chu Yuan left, it was naturally time for the members of the Zhou Family to vent their anger.

The Zhou Family had been humiliated by Shen Wen, and they poured all their rage onto him.

Over the next few days, Chu Yuan had people investigate the situation of the Shen Family while continuing to acquire delivery companies, laying the groundwork to deal with Zhang Yang.

Of course, he left all these matters to Zuo Shishi and her people to handle.

As for Chu Yuan himself, he held his new favorite close and continued their intimate exchanges.

The most delighted of all were the members of the Zhou Family, who had been nearly dancing with joy for the past few days.

Only one person felt no excitement at all; instead, he felt as though each day was like a year.

It wasn't just that his wife, Zhou Xiaodie, had been forcibly taken away by Chu Yuan; there was a more important reason.

Shen Wen had actually dared to impersonate the Young Master of the Shen Family and had scared them quite a bit, completely infuriating the Head of the Zhou Family and the others.

The Head of the Zhou Family invoked the Zhou Family's house rules once again, lashing out at Shen Wen with a barbed whip.

After dozens of lashes, Shen Wen's skin was torn open, and he nearly died on the spot.

Hadn't Shen Wen often felt that he had lived in the Zhou Family for three years like a dog?

To let Shen Wen experience what it was like to truly live like a dog, the Zhou Family threw him directly into a dog kennel.

Now, Shen Wen had finally been upgraded to living like a dog.

"If I raise a dog and give it a bone, it can at least wag its tail at me. This damned piece of trash is just a waste of food."

"If keeping you didn't satisfy Young Master Chu, I would have starved you to death."

With a face full of disdain, Miao Yue spat onto Shen Wen's face.

"Mom, there's no need to get angry over a thing like this. He is just a dog of our Zhou Family now."

"I just thought of something fun. Let's make an iron chain and take him for a walk; it could provide us with some amusement."

"Our Zhou Cong is so clever. When the time comes, I'll take this dog and go compete against Cuihua's big black dog to see whose dog is better."

Miao Yue was immediately amused by Zhou Cong's idea and laughed heartily.

Zhou Cong also laughed until he couldn't close his mouth, but then he suddenly remembered something and asked eagerly, "Didn't Young Master Chu say the other day that he would give our Zhou Family a sum of one billion? I wonder if that fund has arrived yet?"

That was one billion in cash!

Even though the Zhou Family had some assets, Zhou Cong had never seen that much cash in his entire life.

With one billion, even a small fraction of that would be enough for him, the young master of the Zhou Family, to squander for several months.

More importantly, his sister had become Chu Yuan's woman, which meant that Chu Yuan would be his brother-in-law in the future.

With this status, he, Zhou Cong, could walk sideways through the entire Magic City.

"No need to rush. Isn't Xiaodie discussing this matter with Young Master Chu? They've been talking about it for several days, so I believe there will be a result before long."

Thinking of the one billion in funds that would be arriving in the near future, the Head of the Zhou Family also looked excited.

However, as the backbone of the Zhou Family, he still kept his emotions hidden in front of his wife and son, maintaining the demeanor of the head of the family.

"I want water!"

"Give... give me some water, I beg you!"

Lying in the dog kennel, the dying Shen Wen had cracked lips and a pale face.

After beating Shen Wen severely, Zhou Cong and the others, wanting to give him a lesson he would never forget, had not only denied him food but hadn't even given him a single drop of water.

Now, with his injuries flaring up, severely dehydrated, and suffering from hunger and cold, Shen Wen was curled up in the dog kennel, shivering.

"I beg you, give... give me a sip of water."

Shen Wen now had only one request: to be granted a sip of water.

"Damned piece of trash, you actually think you deserve to drink water?"

"Let this young master treat you to some lashes instead."

As Zhou Cong spoke, he picked up the whip from the ground and prepared to loosen Shen Wen's bones.

"Insolent!"

A deafening voice came from outside the house, startling Zhou Cong so much that he froze, and even the whip in his hand involuntarily fell to the ground.

"To think that people from a mere small family would dare to bully my Young Master—you are simply courting death."

As the voice faded, an elderly man with white hair walked in slowly with heavy steps.

Behind him followed a dozen or so bodyguards dressed in black.

If anyone with some strength were here, they would have realized that all these people were above the Ming Realm, and there were even two at the Dark Energy stage.

The old man was none other than Butler Shen Ao of the Shen Family.

A few days ago, Steward Mo had brought people to the Magic City to welcome Shen Wen, but they had disappeared, and even Shen Wen could not be contacted.

To be on the safe side, Shen Congwu had ordered Butler Shen Ao to lead a group of Shen Family experts to come.

"Young Master?"

The Head of the Zhou Family was stunned. Was their Zhou Family a factory for young masters? How did another young master pop out?

Before the Head of the Zhou Family could react, Steward Mo rushed forward upon seeing Shen Wen's miserable state.

"It is all this old servant's fault for being late to the rescue, causing you, Young Master, to suffer such great grievances."

The Shen Family bodyguards filed in and surrounded Shen Wen.

This time, Zhou Cong was thoroughly terrified.

Even the heart of the Head of the Zhou Family began to panic, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Water... give me water?"

Seeing Steward Mo arrive, Shen Wen felt as if he had seen a ray of light in the darkness; he mustered all his strength to crawl to Steward Mo's side and gripped the corner of his clothes tightly.

It was this exertion that caused Shen Wen, already physically exhausted, to collapse further; his vision went black, and he fainted on the spot.

"Young Master?"

"What are you all still standing there for? Hurry up and help the Young Master out!"

Shen Wen fainting made Butler Shen Ao even more furious, and he strictly ordered his subordinates to save him.

If anything really happened to Shen Wen, he, Steward Mo, would likely have to pay with his life.

"This damned piece of trash still won't give up; to think he actually hired so many extras to come here."

"He wants to save someone? He'll have to see if I, Zhou Cong, agree to it."

Having regained his composure, Zhou Cong completely failed to recognize the situation.

He only assumed these people were more extras that Shen Wen had hired again.

If he let Shen Wen leave just like that, where would his face as the young master of the Zhou Family be?
