“Madam knew nothing about Yao Tang’s evil plan, so you shouldn’t pin any of the blame on her.
Zhang Shou lowered his head and rolled his eyes. He remained humble and respectful, but a strange light had already come over his face. “Of course, I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Miss. May I know how to address you?”
He was not a fool, and he certainly wasn’t naive. Especially not after so much suffering and loss.
This girl had appeared to him shortly after he had been broken by thugs. What purpose did she have for approaching him?
In the beginning, he had been overwhelmed by relief and gratitude, but now that he had had time to return to his senses, Zhang Shouhad managed to put some of the pieces together.
Everything that had happened to him couldn’t have been a coincidence or a sordid twist of fate.
No, these were all orchestrated by someone behind the scenes.
The girl was obviously displeased by his question. She raised her chin haughtily and sneered. “My surname is Yan. That’s all you need to know. That, and the fact that I’m here to help you.
“That man is strong and powerful to a certain degree. With your current status, you have no chance of beating him. Consider yourself lucky that I’m willing to offer you some assistance. Once you’ve almost recovered, I will help you expand the Zhang Group.
“As for the rest… Well, it would be better for you not to know.”
Zhang Shou’s eyes glinted deviously. He readily agreed with her plans.
Since she had made him the offer, he wouldn’t waste this chance to develop his company and see it rise to the top of the industry. For now, all he needed to do was to recuperate properly.
……
In any case, if this girl was lying to him, then he would just have to use her for as long as he could and vent his anger on her later on. Then he would look into the real person pulling the strings behind her, and he would settle the score one by one.
Whoever had dared to cut off his ear would pay the price!
But if this girl meant every word she had just said, he would do good not to act rashly.
The surname Yan was very rare in City A.
Moreover, judging by the way she spoke, Zhang Shougathered that she viewedCity Awith no small amount of disdain. That meant that she came from one of the big cities.
And as far as he knew, there was only one family in the Yan clan that was particularly powerful across the country.
If she truly was the young lady of the Yan family, then it would be greatly beneficial to him and his business to ally with her.
A spark of excitement lit up in Zhang Shou’s heart.
Sensing that the girl hated loathed Yao Tang, he wasted no time establishing his loyalty by cursing at their common enemy. “Don’t worry, Miss Yan. As soon as the Zhang Group has gained enough status, I will definitely get rid of that damnYao Tangfor you. Don’t stain your hands with the dirty work. You can leave it all to me.
“And that man as well… I won’t let him get away with this, either. I will crush his bones myself and feed his ashes to the pigs!”
His face twisted into a terrible expression as he envisioned his revenge.
If it hadn’t been for that meddling bastard, he wouldn’t have been detained for so many days, nor would he have suffered such inhumane treatment. Regardless of whether Yao Tanghad ordered him or not, it was still that man who had perpetratedZhang Shou’s abuse.
He was the reason why Zhang Shouhad lost an ear and became a cripple. He had madeZhang Shouinto a disabled person.
Zhang Shou would never let him off!
To his surprise, however, the girl shot him a warning look. “I suggest that you forget about that man right this instant! He is someone I fancy.”
Zhang Shou quickly hid his hatred and plastered a smile on his face. “Ah, right, right. It was thatYao Tangwho was behind it all. Please don’t be mad.
“When the time comes, I will torture Yao Tanguntil she begs for death, and that man will be yours to deal with. He must be blind to choose that wench over you.”
The girl snorted derisively. “That’s none of your business. Just focus on getting better.”
The first thing she wanted to do with that man was to make him lose interest in Yao Tangcompletely.
She wanted to show him that she was the only one who could give him a better life, while Yao Tangwould only be a burden to him.
The girl rose and was about to leave when she remembered something. “Ah, once all is sad and done, you’re free to marry Yao Tang.”
She pondered her own idea for a brief moment, then said, “No, no, you don’t have to marry her at all. You can just keep her as a mistress. You can play with her when you have time to spare, or you can just ignore her and let her languish into nonexistence.”
She flashed Zhang Shoua bright smile and left the ward in high spirits.
