(1) Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

Chapter 181: What a Vicious and Merciless Person He Slept with Every Night

Shen Heru already knew there was no turning back for her, but she still tried to argue. “How can you say I’ve changed the pills just by taking out this random footage? Ji Nuan, you are really capable with these high-tech things nowadays. You can say whatever you wish and fabricate whatever you want…”

“This is considered high-tech?” Ji Nuan looked at her in amusement. “What times are we living in? What’s so difficult about installing a surveillance camera?”

“You actually dared to place a surveillance camera in your father’s room. Don’t you feel ashamed admitting it…”

“This is my dad’s room. I won’t capture the things that shouldn’t be taken.” Ji Nuan coldly cut off her words. She approached the table, removing a tiny camera from under the shade of the desk lamp. “Although it only captured the footage of this table, I think this is sufficient. Don’t you think so, Auntie Shen?”

The proof was undeniable, each one of them more powerful than the previous. They backed Shen Heru into a dead end, preventing her escape.

Shen Heru stiffly stared at the camera in Ji Nuan’s hands. She abruptly turned to Ji Hongwen. “Old Ji… listen to my explanation…”

Ji Hongwen’s expression could no longer be simply described as cold rage. “Explain what? Is there a need for an explanation? When I brought you and your son through the Ji family doors out of sympathy, I truly never expected that one day you would personally try to bring me through the gates of the underworld! You sure are amazing. What a vicious and merciless person I’ve been sharing a bed with!”

Shen Heru was flustered. “Old Ji, this is really unrelated to me! The footage didn’t capture any faces. How can you be so sure it was me? Even the law requires definitive proof to charge someone. How can she use a bangle as a basis to say it was me?”

“I was the one who gifted you with that bangle. Ji Nuan might not be able to recognize it, but how can I not? We’ve been husband and wife for so many years. I can recognize your wrist with just one look at the footage. Is there a need for Ji Nuan to confirm anything?” Ji Hongwen’s eyes were icy-cold. He was filled with rage.

Shen Heru refused to give up. “I…”

From the start, Ji Hongwen fully believed in Ji Nuan’s words, but he also did not wish to blow up this matter. However, with the truth placed right before his eyes, he could not hold onto his face. His heart was also boiling mad with anger. With a ‘pa’ sound, he gave her a slap, venting all of his rage. The blow was harsh and heavy.

Ji Nuan placed that needle-sized camera in her pocket. She did not say anymore, expressionlessly watching Shen Heru’s sorry figure.

If this were not related to her father’s life, she would have been happy to continue acting with Shen Heru.

However, if she did not expose this matter, her father’s health would only worsen.

Right now, she had done everything she needed to do. As for what to do next, he could handle it as he pleased. Ji Nuan would not interfere.

Shen Heru held her swollen cheek, turning to see Ji Nuan standing by the side like a passerby.

As she was too enraged, Shen Heru gritted her teeth to force herself to calm down. She then turned to the angered Ji Hongwen, lowering her head to say in an aggrieved tone. “All right… I admit it… Old Ji, I’ll explain it all to you…”

“It’s actually the father of that bastard I was previously married to, who is the current head of the Sheng family. He wanted to make use of me to swallow the Ji family. Originally, I didn’t know that those supplements were problematic. They were the ones who threatened me to bring those supplements to you. I only found out what they really were after… I didn’t change the medicine to prevent being caught, but because I was genuinely afraid that those things would harm you. That is why I secretly changed them; I didn’t want you to find out, and I didn’t want the Sheng family to find out either. Old Ji, I’m truly dedicated to you, but I used to live in the Sheng family. Those people are full of schemes. I have no way of resisting them. I didn’t wish to be forced into doing this either…”

She explained herself, attempting to reverse some of the damage. However, her gaze shifted to Ji Nuan, and she noticed that Ji Nuan appeared to be smiling mildly, as though she could completely see through her.

Shen Heru’s heart skipped a beat. She did not dare to meet her gaze again, terrified that Ji Nuan would notice something.

Ji Hongwen resisted the urge to snatch the bangle off of her arm and to smash it. He coldly said, “From today onwards, don’t you dare go anywhere. Stay in this room, and don’t even answer a phone call. You’re not allowed to be in contact with the Sheng family or with any outsiders! Hand over all the matters on the villa to the helpers! All of the company matters that you’re in charge of will also be passed onto someone else’s hands. Don’t you even think about taking a single cent from the Ji family!”

Shen Heru swayed slightly. She took a step back, landing sitting on the bed. She stared at him shakily. “Old Ji, you can’t do this to me…”

“If you dare to say anything more, scram out of the Ji family immediately! Don’t blame me for not giving you any face!” Ji Hongwen raged impatiently.

Shen Heru shut her mouth, not daring to say anything more.

Being locked at home was better than being chased out of the house. She could only wait to be dealt with, but there was at least the possibility of things taking a turn for the better. If she were to be chased out just like this, not only would she lose all of her face, she would also lose all hope of rebuilding things with Ji Hongwen.

Compromising would make a conflict easier to resolve. She sat by the bed, keeping quiet out of fear.

Two days later, Ji Nuan made another trip to the hospital.

She originally intended to make use of her healed hands as an excuse to visit Doctor Qin. She thought to see if he was free and to treat him to a meal if he was.

After all, the drug analysis brought him quite some trouble. Qin Siting must have given Mo Jingshen quite some face. On this matter, it was better to express her gratitude formally.

She had only just entered the hospital when she noticed an ambulance parked by the entrance. A person drenched in blood was brought in by the doctors and nurses.

Ji Nuan stood by the entrance. From the corner of her eyes, she suddenly noticed a figure running out of the ambulance.

To her shock, it was actually Shi Niange.

She then noticed that Shi Niange’s arms and clothes were also stained with quite some blood. She entered the hospital with a few medical personnel while looking extremely pale. Just as she passed by, Ji Nuan asked in concern, “Miss Shi? What happened?”

Shi Niange faltered in her footsteps. She turned to see Ji Nuan and could only offer her a polite nod in her panicked state. She did not say more as she continued running inwards.

Following which, the medical personnel behind her shouted, “Move out of the way, move out of the way! A serious car accident happened on the main road in front. There are still injured passengers behind. Please, move out of the way!”

Ji Nuan instantly took a step back. She then saw another blood-soaked figure being pushed in.

She thought back to the blood on Shi Niange’s body earlier and turned to head toward the emergency room she had left for earlier. She saw the two blood-soaked injured figures being pushed into the emergency room, while Shi Niange stood outside speaking with the medical personnel. Although she appeared very pale, she was not heavily injured.
