79: Chapter 79: Conflict Erupts in the Shen Family, Zhou Xiaodie's Self-Taught Service

Qi Xinyue was given a huge fright.

This definitely wasn't filmed by Shen Congwu, so there was only one explanation.

It was done by Jiesha, and he had handed the video over to Shen Congwu.

As soon as this thought emerged, Qi Xinyue cut it off.

Because Jiesha had no reason to do such a thing.

Handing the video to Shen Congwu would bring him no benefit at all and would only completely enrage Shen Congwu.

Once Shen Congwu learned the truth, he would definitely risk his life to fight Jiesha.

By then, not only would she, Qi Xinyue, be unable to escape death, but given the strength of the Shen Family, Jiesha would also be unable to escape disaster.

Now was not the time to investigate who leaked the information.

"Th-this... I... I..."

Qi Xinyue stammered.

Shen Congwu asked aggressively, leaving Qi Xinyue speechless; she had absolutely no idea what kind of excuse to make up.

As for admitting it, even if it killed her, Qi Xinyue wouldn't dare admit a single word.

If she refused to admit it to the death, Shen Congwu might, out of consideration for their thirty years of marriage, give her a chance to live.

But admitting what she had done and what she had said...

The Shen Family's reputation would be ruined, and Shen Congwu would become the laughingstock of Beijing's high society.

She, Qi Xinyue, would likely be unable to escape her fate.

"When you were doing these things back then, did you never think that one day the truth would come to light, that one day I would find out?"

"Now that it has come to this, do you still not dare to admit it?"

Shen Congwu sneered.

Even at this point, Qi Xinyue still wanted to deny it to the death.

"I haven't done anything. What can this video alone possibly prove?"

"Don't forget, technology is so advanced now. Who knows who used high-tech methods to synthesize this video to frame me here."

Qi Xinyue was still forcing an explanation, covering up the truth, and pushing the blame onto others for framing her.

"I, Shen Congwu, have been in charge of the Shen Family for over a decade. Do I look like a fool who can be bullied by anyone?"

"I long ago found professionals to conduct a comprehensive analysis, and it has been confirmed beyond a doubt that the person in the video is you."

Shen Congwu was, at the very least, a veteran of society; how could he lack any worldly experience?

Therefore, the moment he received this video, he had someone verify its authenticity.

"Who knows if those people were colluding with others to frame me? Call out the person who verified the video; I want to confront him on the spot."

Qi Xinyue would refuse to admit to this no matter what; in any case, Shen Congwu couldn't afford to let such dirty business be exposed.

Shen Congwu fell silent.

After receiving the answer from the appraisal expert, Shen Congwu had sent him directly to meet the Buddha.

Now, if he wanted to find the person to confront her, wouldn't he have to go to the Buddha to do it?

Not only the person who did the verification, but also the person who secretly recorded the video—Shen Congwu would never allow them to remain alive in this world.

"I... I don't know either."

Qi Xinyue became even more flustered, not knowing how to explain.

Even if she tried to force an explanation, it didn't make any sense.

Slap!

Following a crisp sound, Shen Congwu delivered a heavy slap across Qi Xinyue's face.

As the head of the Shen Family and possessing the strength of the Ming Realm, his power was no less than that of a special forces soldier, if not greater.

In his rage, he held nothing back.

A massive force sent Qi Xinyue crashing to the ground, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

Qi Xinyue gingerly touched her bruised cheek with her hand; a burning pain welled up in her heart.

"Shen Congwu, you actually dare to hit me?"

"If it weren't for you, this useless waste, being unable to...!"

Having been hit, Qi Xinyue appeared somewhat agitated and even began to speak without thinking.

The secret that Shen Congwu had kept for over twenty years, which had never been known to outsiders, was casually exposed by Qi Xinyue.

One had to know, this was the pain of Shen Congwu's entire life.

Over twenty years ago, Shen Congwu's younger brother, in order to seize the position of family head, sent people to assassinate Shen Congwu.

Although they did not succeed, they accidentally injured Shen Congwu's lower body, turning him into a eunuch.

In order to keep the family scandal from spreading, and so that Shen Congwu could smoothly inherit the Shen Family, this secret was known to no one but the couple themselves.

Qi Xinyue brought up the past again, ripping open Shen Congwu's old wounds and provoking him once more.

Another series of slapping sounds rang out as Shen Congwu swung left and right, mercilessly raining blows upon Qi Xinyue's face.

"Damn bitch..."

The enraged Shen Congwu then proceeded to punch and kick Qi Xinyue.

Little did they know, all of this was being watched, and through a device, Chu Yuan, who was far away in Magic City, was watching a live broadcast.

"Good, the conflict within the Shen Family has finally begun."

"The destruction of the Shen Family will happen today."

"It's a pity I, Young Master Chu, am not there in person to see the legendary scene of the Shen couple killing each other, and the father and son turning against one another."

"Xiaodie, what I, Young Master Chu, promised you has already been half-accomplished. Is this legendary scene of the Shen Family members biting each other like dogs fun to watch?"

"Many thanks to Young Master Chu for making this happen. I hope they both manage to kill each other, so that my Zhou Family can vent some of this pent-up anger."

Seeing Shen Congwu and Qi Xinyue completely turn into enemies, and seeing Qi Xinyue beaten into a pig's head, Zhou Xiaodie felt so satisfied.

In a great mood, Zhou Xiaodie's eyes rolled, and she decided to properly repay Chu Yuan.

...

"Xiaodie, I didn't expect your skills to be so remarkable. Where did you learn them?"

"I... I didn't learn them!"

"Oh, so it was self-taught. Amazing."

Chu Yuan smiled.
