Chapter 14: Shame and Torment

ong fingers lifting her chin and stroking her crimson, disheveled lips with a thumb. A chill of anger radiated from him.A faint sound came from ahead, Shen Xiujin suddenly raised his eyelids and looke...Jian Tong shook his head like a tambourine, “No, Mr. Shen, I don’t want to go to the public relations department.” Jian Tong pleaded frantically, "I know I was wrong, Mr. Shen, please forgive me. I’ve already served three years in prison, I’ve already paid the price. Please give me back my bank card, and I'll disappear immediately, far away, I promise, I will never appear before you again."

Jian Tong only knew how to plead for mercy. She didn't notice the surprise in Su Meng's eyes when she heard that she had been in prison for three years. Su Meng had only arrived in S City two years ago and wasn't originally from there, so she didn't know about Jian Tong's past.

If those who have followed Shen Xiuqin for a long time, they all know about Jian Tong's affairs.

Shen Xiujin's narrow eyes narrowed dangerously... She still wanted to escape

Will he never appear before me again

With a light snort, "Heh~", the man took out his phone and instructed his subordinate to do something. Shortly after, there was a knock on the door, and a subordinate entered, handing the man a card.

The man slowly crouched down, meeting the gaze of the woman kneeling on the ground. He held a bank card between his fingers, "All the money in this bank card has just been transferred by Shen Yi." Jian Tong glanced at the bank card and looked up at Shen Xiuqin in confusion.

The man shaved his thin lips and slowly said, “You want me to let you go, don’t you”

Jian Tong was stunned for a moment, though she didn't understand, she immediately nodded.

"Do you think I'm a good person" the man continued, Jian Tong remained silent. The man chuckled softly, "That's right, Shen Xiuqin has never been a good person. How could he easily let you go."

As if talking about someone else, Shen Xiujin nonchalantly looked at Jian Tong. He was like a cat playing with a mouse, toying with the prey in his palm. A bewitching smile slowly rose on his handsome face:

"Jian Tong, there's not a penny in this card right now. As long as you earn five million," the man said, waving the bank card in his hand, "as long as you have the ability to deposit five million into this card, I'll let you go. How about it"

How... Jian Tong's eyes glazed over as she stared at the bank card in the man's fingers. Her face was devoid of all hope... He never intended to let her go!

Five million... For her now, it was a huge sum, so large she couldn't even imagine it! As for Shen Xiujin, did he lack five million Jian Tong instantly understood Shen Xiujin's teasing.

The man's deep eyes locked onto the woman's face, missing not a single subtle expression. A flash of light appeared in his eyes, and the corners of his lips twitched upwards... Trying to escape In your dreams!

"Bang," Shen Xiujin stood up, the bank card between his fingers falling before Jian Tong. "Jian Tong, I don't care what method you use, once there is five million in this card, that's when I let you go. Otherwise, if you want freedom, don't even think about it. And don't even think about running away, as long as you live in this world, I can find you."

Five million... where did she get five million

"I'm scared… I turned my head and anxiously shouted at Shen Xiujian, who was about to open the door: 'Mr. Shen, you're asking too much! I'm just a cleaner, where would I get five million yuan' "

The man turned his side, lowered his eyes to scan her: "Su Meng will transfer you to the public relations department. You can sell your smile, your pitiful self, your stupidity, or your ugliness. You can sell whatever comes to mind. Rich people have many strange quirks. Your knees are not supposed to bend just because you say so, right Try it and see what happens. If that doesn't work, you can always sell yourself." He tugged at the corner of his mouth:

"But with your current appearance... it's hard to say." Shen Xiujin narrowed his eyes and said, "Take care of yourself," Jian Tong watched as Shen Xiujin's tall and slender figure disappeared from view.

Jian Tong's face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. Looking at this, Su Meng felt a pang of sympathy in her heart..."How did you offend President Shen"

Jian Tong turned her head to look at Su Meng, a wry smile on her face. At this moment, Su Meng saw Jian Tong's pale lips and a circle of blood-colored tooth marks. "You, are you alright" Su Meng asked.

"I'm fine," Jian Tong stood up, her body swayed, Su Meng couldn't bear it, she was about to reach out, Jian Tong managed to stand firm, rushed towards Su Meng, a grateful smile appeared on her pale face: "Thank you, Meng Jie."

"You...are you sure you're okay" She looked at Jian Tong, who couldn't even stand properly, and really didn't believe his words "I'm fine."

Jian Tong shook his head at Su Meng, still uttering those three words: “I'm fine.”

"Who would believe it…" Su Meng looked at the woman struggling to walk forward and couldn't help but ask, "You know Mr. Shen, don't you"

Su Meng clearly saw the woman's back stiffen for a moment, but the other party asked her, "Mengjie, where is the public relations department Am I starting work tonight"

"Now it's Su Meng's turn to be stunned, "You..." Su Meng originally still wanted to ask something, but the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back, changing her words instead: "Let's go, I'll take you."

On the way, Su Meng deliberately slowed her pace. She had honed her sharp eyesight in the brothel, and her gaze fell on Jian Tong's legs with piercing intensity. Before, she hadn't noticed, but now she clearly felt that something was wrong with Jian Tong's legs.

Jian Tong, your legs, are they just numb from squatting

After some thought, Jian Tong realized that there was no need to hide anything from Su Meng anymore. She glanced at Su Meng, then slowly turned her back and lifted her clothes, calling out in a hoarse voice, "Mengjie."

Su Meng's gaze followed Jian Tong's movements, landing on the bare back exposed by her actions. He gasped in shock: "You..." Instinctively, Su Meng widened his eyes in fear, covering his mouth, and stared at the woman before him in disbelief.

Jian Tong slowly put down her clothes and smoothed out the corners before looking at Su Meng, whose face was pale with shock: "Sister Meng, I'm missing a kidney. After that, my body got even worse. Walking too fast would make it hurt."

"Kidney, kidney... where's the kidney"

"Donate it, I don't know either."

Even a seasoned woman like Su Meng, who had weathered many storms, couldn't help but tremble inside when faced with Jian Tong, who was calmly stating that she didn't know where her kidneys were. How could Jian Tong be so calm!

"That's your kidney, part of your body!" Su Meng exerted all his effort to quell his anger and suppressed his voice, trying to speak as calmly as possible. How could Jian Tong speak so calmly

Jian Tong twitched the corner of her mouth: "I know." Besides those three words, she didn't say anything else, just looked at Su Meng, her eyes earnestly pleading: "Meng Jie, this matter, please keep it a secret for me." She didn't want anyone else to know.

"You... good!" Su Meng took a deep breath, only then could she calm herself. She still didn't quite understand how the always-strict her would feel such similarities between the woman in front of her and herself.

After thinking for a moment, Su Meng asked, "Since you're missing a kidney, are you still going to join the public relations department Working in public relations requires drinking, even if you can't, you have to socialize with difficult clients. I'll go talk to General Manager Shen. Your condition prevents you from joining the public relations department." For some reason, Su Meng just wanted to help Jian Tong.

“Sister Meng, don't go.” Jian Tong hurriedly grabbed Su Meng, looking into her eyes, clearly pleading: “…Mr. Shen might not know about this.” Saying that, she opened her palm, revealing the bank card inside, and gave Su Meng a wry smile: “Sister Meng, you’ve seen a lot of the world, could someone with my looks earn five million”

The answer was obvious. Su Meng's body trembled slightly, as if she understood something—President Shen was tormenting and humiliating this woman in front of him.

But, that's too cruel... face paled instantly, beads of sweat forming on her forehead, and her meticulously applied makeup began to smudge.At the back of the crowd, there was one person who suddenly lifted their head and sta...
