C50 Shi Qian Was a Demon

Shi Qian departed.

Wen Yiran collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Shi Muxue was completely dumbfounded by the scene before her. The Wen family was ruined!

The power backing Shi Qian was something the Wen family couldn't even begin to contend with!

Shi Muxue's grip tightened, her nails piercing her palms. How could this be happening!

Shi Qian found a secluded spot and quickly dialed Jiang Ci's number.

The phone barely started ringing before it was picked up, and a man's languid voice came through, "Hello, Qian Qian."

"Jiang Ci, why didn't you tell me about the Wen family's situation?" Shi Qian inquired.

Jiang Ci chuckled, "You're aware now. I've taken care of this minor issue, so I didn't bother you with it. I didn't want to stress you out."

"What exactly have you done to the Wen family?"

"Oh, nothing much. Just had all their investors pull out and saddled them with a few billion in debt."

Billions!

Second Young Master Jiang spoke of billions as if it were mere pocket change.

Yet for a small enterprise like the Wen family, that amount of debt was insurmountable, a burden impossible to clear in several lifetimes.

The Wen family wasn't just finished; they were utterly doomed!

Shi Qian massaged her temples, exasperated. This man was merciless.

"Please, just let them off the hook."

"Why?" Jiang Ci asked, puzzled.

"That's excessively harsh! Plus, there's a girl in the Wen family I'm quite close to. I can't stand by and watch her family fall apart like this."

Jiang Ci remained silent.

Shi Qian pressed, "Did you hear me?"

"I didn't hear a thing! And no, I won't let up. Do you have any idea how those people online have been badmouthing you?"

With a nonchalant tone, Shi Qian responded, "You've deleted all of that. If I didn't see it, I wouldn't know."

Jiang Ci was speechless.

"Jiang Ci, please, spare the Wen family. They've already received a lesson they'll never forget."

Still, Jiang Ci said nothing.

"Are you listening?" Shi Qian paused before adding, "Or would you rather I take matters into my own hands?"

Jiang Ci, through clenched teeth, finally relented, "Fine, I'll let them go. Happy now?"

Shi Qian broke into a smile. "Be good."

Jiang Ci was at a loss for words.

A moment later, he added, "By the way, those online posts weren't taken down by my people."

"Not by you?"

"No, it was probably Master Zhan. I don't claim credit for others' work."

Shi Qian chuckled. "Alright, I understand."

If it wasn't Jiang Ci, then it had to be Shaang Sizhan.

That meant Master Zhan was aware of the situation!

Yan Yi must have shown Master Zhan those internet posts on Saturday.

So, Shaang Sizhan's anger that afternoon wasn't because she answered a call from Jiang Ci.

It was because she went to see Jiang Ci and even drove his car back.

After the smear campaign against her, Jiang Ci was the first to act, and then he called to check on her.

It was the accumulation of these events that pushed Master Zhan over the edge.

He overwhelmed her with a fierce kiss.

Now, she finally understood.

She ended the call.

Shi Qian spoke softly, "I never would have pegged Young Master Sheng as someone who enjoys eavesdropping." Turning leisurely, she faced Sheng Xu, who stood behind her.

Unfazed by being caught, Sheng Xu grinned. "You knew I was here, huh?"

Shi Qian gave him a dismissive glance. "You've been tailing me the whole way. Of course, I knew."

Sheng Xu studied Shi Qian, his expression brimming with curiosity. "Just who are you, Shi Qian?"

He had assumed Shi Qian was under Jiang Ci's wing and that she would always be courteous to him.

But the truth was quite the opposite.

He was almost convinced that it was Shi Qian who had Jiang Ci's back.

Had he not witnessed Jiang Ci with Shi Qian, he would've doubted that the Jiang Ci she referred to was the same person.

Shi Qian regarded him coolly. "A woman," she stated, pausing before breaking into a sly smile. "A beautiful woman, at that."

Sheng Xu was at a loss for words.

He suddenly thought of Shi Qian as nothing short of enchanting.

She's the kind that could charm someone to their demise without owing a life!

Jiang Ci must have fallen under her spell.

He, too...
