Su Hua held it in her hand, and Shen Qianqian felt an overwhelming sense of dread.
"Don't worry, this is just medicine to make your voice unpleasant. I won’t let you become mute." Su Hua’s crimson lips curled into a smile.
With that, Su Hua pinched Shen Qianqian’s chin and poured the liquid down her throat.
Shen Qianqian felt a burning pain sear through her throat.
"Gack—" Shen Qianqian collapsed to the floor, clawing at her neck, desperately trying to vomit the medicine out.
But it was useless!
Jiang Qing watched the spectacle with amusement.
Su Hua had commissioned the development of many such tormenting drugs.
For those who crossed her, the consequences were always the same—worse than death.
Especially for someone like Shen Qianqian, who had dared to touch Su Hua’s bottom line.
Su Hua would never let her off.
After a while, the burning pain in Shen Qianqian’s throat faded, and she sighed in relief.
That bitch Su Hua must have been lying to her.
"Shen Qianqian, how do you feel now?" Su Hua arched a delicate brow.
"Su Hua, you—" Bitch.
A hoarse, duck-like voice burst from Shen Qianqian’s mouth.
Even the stern bodyguards couldn’t hold back their laughter, their shoulders shaking violently as they stifled their amusement.
Shen Qianqian’s eyes widened in horror.
This was—
"Ah—"
The words that escaped Shen Qianqian’s lips still sounded grotesque.
"Give me the antidote, please!" Shen Qianqian begged, her eyes red with tears.
"Shen Qianqian, I told you—this is only the beginning."
Su Hua picked up the small knife again.
"Now, it’s time to carve words into your face."
With a cruel lick of her lips, Su Hua ordered her men to restrain Shen Qianqian and began slicing into her skin, stroke by stroke.
Jiang Qing was already accustomed to such scenes.
Su Hua was just that ruthless—bloodthirsty.
The gentleness she showed in front of Young Master Lin was nothing but a facade.
"Aaah—!" Screams echoed through the hall.
Dark red blood dripped from the blade, falling to the floor in steady drops.
Shen Qianqian passed out from the pain, only to be doused awake again.
She was forced to stay conscious, watching helplessly as Su Hua engraved the words into her flesh.
Su Hua carved them deep—so deep that even plastic surgery wouldn’t erase them.
Clang.
Su Hua tossed the knife aside, the metallic sound ringing sharply.
Jiang Qing kindly held up a mirror in front of Shen Qianqian. "Miss Shen, take a look. Doesn’t our Su Hua’s handiwork suit you perfectly?"
Shen Qianqian’s gaze fell upon the reflection—a woman who looked like a ghost.
Disheveled hair.
Her face was smeared with blood, two words carved grotesquely: "Bitch."
The right cheek bore "Bitch," the left, "Woman."
"AAAAHHH—!"
Shen Qianqian wailed in agony, her voice still grating like a duck’s.
"My face… my face!"
It was utterly ruined.
Jiang Qing smirked. "Miss Shen, this is what they call ‘giving someone a taste of their own medicine.’"
"Everything you wanted to do to our Su Hua—now it’s all yours."
Shen Qianqian’s eyes burned with hatred.
Why? Why was she the one suffering like this?
She hadn’t even succeeded!
Su Hua was unharmed!
Yet her entire life was destroyed!
Meanwhile, Su Hua sat elegantly in the main seat, peeling off her pristine white gloves.
Her fingers traced the engagement ring Lin Xuan had given her.
A blissful smile touched her lips.
"Ah Xuan, you belong only to me."
That was why she would eliminate every woman who dared try to take him from her.
Shen Qianqian gritted her teeth, glaring at Su Hua’s flawless, untroubled face.
Her own expression twisted in fury.
Why? Why was she the one suffering while Su Hua remained pristine?
That bitch, with her innocent facade, was the one Lin Xuan loved.
Lin Xuan would marry her, have children with her.
She couldn’t accept it!
If she couldn’t have Lin Xuan, neither would this woman!
"You bitch, I’ll kill you!"
Shen Qianqian’s face contorted as she snatched the bloodied knife from the floor and lunged at Su Hua.
But before she could get close, Jiang Qing kicked her away.
Bodyguards immediately pinned Shen Qianqian down, forcing her face-first onto the ground like a dog.
Her eyes were bloodshot.
So many people protecting this fox spirit—she couldn’t lay a finger on her.
The injustice burned inside her.
She wanted revenge!
"Jiang Qing," Su Hua asked coolly, "if Shen Qianqian had caught me, what else would she have done?"
Jiang Qing answered, "Forced you to crawl on the ground and eat filth."
Su Hua had to return to her Ah Xuan now.
With a dismissive wave, she said, "Handle it. Torment her for a few days, then send her back to the Shen family. Just make sure she doesn’t die."
Add in the Shen Corporation’s bankruptcy—
That should be enough.
From now on, Shen Qianqian would live in endless darkness.
Death would be a mercy, so Su Hua would ensure she stayed alive.
"Yes, Su Hua."
Jiang Qing bowed respectfully.
"Ah, Su Hua," she added, "there’s a woman who’s been tailing Shen Qianqian. She likely witnessed everything here. How should we deal with her?"
Su Hua replied, "Bring her to me."
Chen Yu, hiding nearby, heard Su Hua’s order.
She knew escape was impossible now.
She had seen Su Hua’s cruelty firsthand—if caught, she’d suffer the same fate.
She had considered fleeing.
But she couldn’t bring herself to leave.
Shen Qianqian had ruined her family.
Now that someone was finally making her pay, Chen Yu wanted to watch her descend into hell.
Jiang Qing approached Chen Yu with a polite smile. "Miss, our Su Hua wishes to speak with you. Come along."
"Alright."
Trembling, Chen Yu followed.
"You!" Shen Qianqian snarled at Chen Yu.
This little bitch had been following her?
"S-Su Hua." Chen Yu’s voice shook.
Su Hua narrowed her eyes. "Are you and Shen Qianqian allies?"
"No!" Chen Yu glared at Shen Qianqian, hatred burning in her gaze. "We’re enemies."
"Oh?" Su Hua raised a brow, intrigued.
Chen Yu clenched her fists. "Because I was pretty, people at school voted me as the campus belle. I took the title from Shen Qianqian, and she made me her target for bullying—just for her own amusement."
"When she found out my father’s company worked with Shen Corporation, she used his job to threaten me."
"It was the job he worked so hard to get. He even became a school administrator. I didn’t want him to lose it, so I gave in."
"But even then, she wouldn’t stop. She made the partner company overload my father with work. My mother was sick, and he couldn’t quit—he needed the money for her treatment and my education."
Chen Yu bit her lip.
Her father had hidden all this from her and her mother, not wanting them to worry.
If it weren't for her father's death and her subsequent secret investigation, she would never have discovered how hard he had been working.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
