Shen Tianpeng and Chen Xiaoling were high school classmates.
When they were in high school, although Shen Tianpeng was interested, Chen Xiaoling was not. She was entirely focused on her studies to prepare for the college entrance examination and did not give Shen Tianpeng any opportunity.
However, it had to be said that Chen Xiaoling did have a good impression of Shen Tianpeng, who was handsome and came from a wealthy family.
This good impression, combined with a bit of alcohol at a class reunion, led to a situation.
Naturally, catalyzed by the alcohol, the two of them developed a relationship that went beyond friendship.
This was the case even though Shen Tianpeng and Chen Xiaoling were both married.
However, the trouble lay precisely here.
Chen Xiaoling was married and had a son in elementary school.
Her husband was a warrior, stationed on the frontier.
After sobering up, Shen Tianpeng was, of course, extremely regretful.
Given his status, what woman couldn't he have?
Although almost every man had harbored such a fantasy at some point,
to have a relationship that went beyond friendship with a former classmate, finding it particularly thrilling and satisfying.
But Shen Tianpeng also knew that some women were simply untouchable!
Just like Chen Xiaoling, whose husband's identity was too special.
If this affair were exposed, he would undoubtedly face a special court-martial.
Let alone the southern capital, even the Emperor himself couldn't protect him!
The charge of disrupting a special marriage carried a minimum sentence of seven years.
And afterward, there would be a host of troubles.
Once exposed, he was definitely finished!
For the sake of reputation, the Shen family would absolutely expel him.
As for his position within the southern capital's elite circles?
He might as well forget about it.
However...
After tasting forbidden fruit that time, Chen Xiaoling would occasionally text him, suggesting they meet.
Frankly speaking, Shen Tianpeng regretted it every single time.
But that was only after the fact!
To ask a man to refuse the goodwill of an attractive former classmate he had once pursued.
Heh!
What a joke!
Moreover, Shen Tianpeng was a man who practically thought with his lower half.
If he had that kind of willpower,
would he have committed the foolish act of trying to take Zhao Zhuoya at the Zui Xian House?
And with each subsequent indulgence, Shen Tianpeng became increasingly immersed in the tenderness of his affair with Chen Xiaoling.
Room 8-203 in a certain residential complex was secretly purchased by Shen Tianpeng, serving as their clandestine love nest!
"I don't understand what you're talking about!" Shen Tianpeng clearly wanted Ye Yun to shut up.
"It's okay if you don't understand, Little Shen. We can talk about something you do understand," Ye Yun chuckled.
The address, "Little Shen," indicated Ye Yun's current attitude towards Shen Tianpeng.
Little Shen?
This appellation greatly displeased Shen Tianpeng.
Especially since he was nearing forty, and Ye Yun, who was less than thirty, called him Little Shen, making it even more galling!
However, Ye Yun had now brought up Chen Xiaoling.
He dared not retort further to Ye Yun.
Chen Xiaoling was Shen Tianpeng's biggest vulnerability and his greatest flaw.
If this matter were to be exposed,
not only would Shen Tianpeng be ruined, but the Shen family would also suffer greatly!
Shen Tianpeng suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Ye Yun coldly.
"What do you want to say that I will understand?"
"For example, barking like a dog and crawling out, or having employees help with photography, anything is fine," Ye Yun said with a smile.
In fact, Ye Yun's answer was within Shen Tianpeng's expectations.
"So, you intend to threaten me?" Shen Tianpeng asked in an extremely sinister tone.
"Threaten?" Ye Yun sneered, looking at Shen Tianpeng with disdain, and shook his head. "I'm the one making keys. Do you even fit?"
Do you fit?
This pun, once again, came out of Ye Yun's mouth.
But this time, it struck Shen Tianpeng's ears with extreme harshness.
He felt his arrogant pride being subjected to endless humiliation.
Shen Tianpeng was furious, so angry that he wished he could have the security guards beat Ye Yun to death on the spot!
However, Shen Tianpeng was not foolish.
The fact that this guy could stand before him with such confidence clearly indicated he had made arrangements.
Since he knew about his indiscretion with Chen Xiaoling,
this kid definitely had a way to contact Chen Xiaoling's husband!
"In front of you, I indeed don't fit!" Shen Tianpeng said with a cold smile, his eyes full of murderous intent. "Kid, your methods have truly broadened my horizons, Shen Tianpeng! Do you know you're playing with fire? Be careful not to get burned?"
"Playing with fire?" Ye Yun chuckled and pointed at the wine glass beside them. "Little Shen, you've gone so far with it, and you won't let others play with a little fire? It would be perfect if we could just smooth things over, wouldn't it?"
"Tell me, what exactly do you want? Money? Or something else?" Shen Tianpeng asked.
"Little Shen, if you want to chat about romance, then we can sit down and have a good talk, about your affair with Chen Xiaoling. After all, we're not business partners, we can only talk about women. Unfortunately, I'm not interested in the topic of Chen Xiaoling. Little Shen, tell me, what should I do?" Ye Yun asked.
Ye Yun's words were already very clear.
"Who exactly are you?"
Seeing that the situation was entirely controlled by Ye Yun, Shen Tianpeng finally couldn't suppress his curiosity.
Other than knowing this kid's surname was Ye, he knew nothing else.
Most importantly, Ye Yun's rather ordinary face was too deceptive, making him subconsciously believe that
Ye Yun was just some ordinary gigolo hired by Zhao Zhuoya.
But now, he could no longer entertain such a foolish thought.
How could an ordinary gigolo know about Chen Xiaoling?
And be able to mention 8-203?
Ye Yun took a business card from his inner jacket pocket and threw it towards Shen Tianpeng.
"Yao Ke Group, Ye Yun."
At the same time, he introduced himself casually.
Yao Ke Group?
Ye Yun?
Licorice Root Medicine!!!
Shen Tianpeng had never heard of Ye Yun, but Yao Ke Group was now a name that resonated loudly!
Wasn't this the company that was currently causing a stir online, rumored to have a miraculous product called Licorice Root Medicine that could cure all diseases?
Being able to create such a stir and such amazing products, this kid must have some hidden depths.
What was his background?
"Little Shen!" Ye Yun walked to Shen Tianpeng's side with a smile and patted his shoulder.
This made Shen Tianpeng's mouth twitch.
The main reason was that Ye Yun's gesture was so infuriating!
It was basically like an elder scolding a junior.
And yet, this scoundrel looked ten years younger than him!
Who could he possibly complain to?
"You and I, we don't have any deep enmity. And I don't want to have a falling out with the southern capital."
With that, Ye Yun pointed at Zhao Zhuoya, who had been standing stunned beside them.
"Mainly, you offended an employee I value today. So, as her future boss, well, boyfriend is also acceptable, I have to let her vent her anger, right?"
"However, I am quite a religious person, and I must give Little Shen some options. How about this: either you bark like a dog and crawl out as we discussed, with someone filming, or you compensate my employee ten million for emotional distress. You, choose for yourself."
