65: Chapter 65 Using Shen Wen to Deal with the Shen Family

Upon hearing Shen Wen's explanation, Zhou Xiaodie said with a hint of mockery, "You certainly do love me, don't you? You love me so much that you killed my parents, killed my younger brother, and wiped out my Zhou Family. With such love, shouldn't I thank your whole family?"

"It's not like that, Xiaodie, listen to me explain."

"I had fainted at the time, and Butler Shen Ao acted on his own initiative, using the pretext of avenging me to do all of that."

"If I had been awake, I certainly wouldn't have let all of this happen. I definitely would have protected your whole family and wouldn't have let them get hurt."

Shen Wen still wanted to explain, even trying to shift the blame onto Butler Shen Ao.

Little did he know, Zhou Xiaodie on the other end of the phone had an even stronger murderous intent; she wished she could devour Shen Wen alive.

If it weren't for Chu Yuan's request to use Shen Wen's hands to deal with the Shen Family, she wouldn't even bother paying attention to this piece of trash.

"I don't want to hear any of that. I'll only ask you one thing: do you truly love me?" Zhou Xiaodie asked in an icy tone.

"That goes without saying. Don't you know how I've treated you over the past three years? I would give up everything for you."

"Alright, since that's the case, come to Demon City immediately. Remember, you are not allowed to tell anyone."

"Come to Demon City? Xiaodie, what is this about?"

"Didn't you keep saying you loved me and that you would do anything for me? Is it really that difficult for you to come to Demon City? Forget it, put away your hypocrisy. From now on, don't bother me again."

"No, Xiaodie, I... I'll come over right now."

Shen Wen panicked.

Regardless of what Zhou Xiaodie's purpose might be, as long as she was willing to see him, it meant that he, Shen Wen, still had a chance.

Without time to think, Shen Wen snuck out of the Shen Family and headed straight for Demon City.

"Young Master Chu, what is the point of tricking Shen Wen into coming to Demon City? Is it to kill him and avenge my family?"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiaodie, not yet knowing Chu Yuan's intentions, asked tentatively.

"If I just killed him like that, wouldn't it be letting that brat off too easily?"

"Don't worry, I have a plan. Dealing with Shen Wen and the Shen Family will definitely be more painful for that brat than just killing him. It will surely satisfy your desire for revenge."

...

On the other hand, Shen Congwu, who was furious at Chu Yuan, became even more deranged.

While launching a full-scale attack on the Tianlong Group, he also dispatched numerous experts to Demon City, preparing to capture Zhou Xiaodie and Liu Yanran and the others to threaten Chu Yuan.

Unfortunately, Chu Yuan had long anticipated the other party's actions and had made full preparations.

Demon City was the Chu Family's territory. Even if they couldn't control every little movement in the city, dealing with a few outsiders was still child's play.

The moment the Shen Family's people stepped into Demon City, they were wiped out by the Chu Family's experts.

Even if a few fish slipped through the net, they were taken care of before they could even get close to Liu Yanran.

In just a few short days, over thirty Shen Family experts were killed, including three experts at the Dark Energy stage.

What's more, one expert at the Late Stage of Dark Energy was crushed into a meat patty by two dump trucks sandwiching him before he could even ambush Liu Yanran; it even made the Demon City news.

Shen Congwu was heartbroken. Knowing the terror of the Chu Family, he dared not reach into Demon City any further and could only intensify his commercial offensive, attempting to crush the Tianlong Group in one fell swoop.

...

"Drunk alone, I really want to find someone to keep me company."

"There are too many misunderstandings between us."

...

"I don't want to shed tears for anyone anymore."

...

A luxury sports car was speeding through the streets and alleys of Demon City.

Zhang Yang, dressed in a yellow food delivery uniform, hummed a little tune as he slowly got out of the car.

"The Tianlong Group?"

"Liu Yanran?"

"I've long heard that the president of the Tianlong Group, Liu Yanran, is one of the four great beauties of our Demon City. Today, I, Zhang Yang, will get to feast my eyes."

"I heard that a major upheaval occurred in the Liu Family, and Liu Yanran's father and grandfather both passed away. If I can marry Liu Yanran, I will have a chance to obtain the entire Liu Family."

"With the Liu Family and my system, not to mention dealing with Chu Yuan, the entire Demon City will have to grovel at my feet."

"If I get another five-star review this time, I'll be able to receive a reward, and my strength will improve again."

Zhang Yang muttered a few words, grabbed the bags of food, and headed straight for the Tianlong Group.

The Tianlong Group had several large cafeterias, and the food there was, if not the best in all of Demon City, certainly good enough that they didn't need to order takeout.

However, due to the continuous offensives from the Shen Family over this period, coupled with Chu Yuan's lack of interference, the Tianlong Group felt like it was tottering on the brink of collapse.

Liu Yanran had kept staff from several departments working overtime until very late, and she ordered a large meal from a restaurant to reward them.

After greeting the security guard and taking the elevator up, Zhang Yang quickly arrived at the door of Liu Yanran's office.

"Beauty, your takeout has arrived."

"The door isn't locked, just come in yourself."

Liu Yanran didn't even turn her head, continuing to bury herself in her work.

Seeing someone push the door open, within the corner of her eye, Liu Yanran said indifferently, "Leave one portion of the takeout here, and take the rest to the office next door. They will handle it."

After saying this, she paid no more attention to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang did not hesitate. Following Liu Yanran's instructions, he took out the portion of takeout he deemed the best and placed it on the table nearby.

After doing all this, he should have left.

But Zhang Yang stopped his footsteps and gazed forward.

He also wanted to see exactly how breathtakingly beautiful this legendary one of the four great beauties of Demon City was.

Just this casual look left Zhang Yang completely stunned; he stood there blankly.

Beautiful!

It was simply beauty that was overwhelming.

Compared to Nie Yuqing, she was even more fresh and refined.

In front of Liu Yanran, that gold-digger Nie Yuqing was just trash.

Seemingly sensing someone staring at her, Liu Yanran subconsciously looked up, her brows furrowed, "Is there something else?"

"Nothing, I just hope that you, beauty... you can give me a five-star review."

Seeing a beauty of this level for the first time, Zhang Yang was a little nervous.

But thinking of his grand plans, he gritted his teeth and said it anyway.

Liu Yanran raised an eyebrow; this person's gaze made her very uncomfortable.

But thinking that these delivery workers had it rough, braving the wind and rain, she nodded and agreed, "Rest assured, I will give you a good review. If there's nothing else, you should leave."

Liu Yanran issued an eviction order, and Zhang Yang felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so he closed the door and retreated.

However, the moment Zhang Yang closed the door, he looked back once more, staring fixedly at Liu Yanran.

In his eyes, the nervousness from before was gone, replaced by a sense of possessiveness.

"This kind of woman will sooner or later become my woman, Zhang Yang. Only someone like me, a Protagonist with a system, is worthy of enjoying her."

At this moment, Zhang Yang was no longer the inexperienced kid he used to be.

Various experiences had allowed him to undergo a transformation.
