Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 558 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (37)

After Gao Shenghan finished reading the chat history on WeChat, Yan Zhen and Yu Yanfei had no further interaction beyond transferring medical expenses to Yan Zhen and politely inquiring about his injuries.

Moreover, Yu Yanfei added Yan Zhen on WeChat after Yan Zhen had shown dislike for him for quite some time.

With the evidence laid out before him, Gao Shenghan felt relieved and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I still don't know why my wife suddenly dislikes me, I'm just glad that those secrets haven't been leaked.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Gao Shenghan immediately apologized to Yan Fei, very tactfully. "I thought..."

"Look at you, such a coward." Yu Yanfei laughed. He squatted down next to Gao Shenghan, shook out a cigarette and handed it to him, then lit it for him with a lighter. "Do you think I don't know the stakes? If your secret is exposed, the Yan family will definitely kick you to the curb. Where will I go to collect my debts then?"

Gao Shenghan: "..."

He took a couple of puffs of his cigarette, and his chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down.

Yu Yanfei put her arm around his shoulder and said, "We're in the same boat. Would I harm you like this?"

"..." Gao Shenghan recalled how he had led him into gambling, tempting him to make wrong moves step by step, plunging him into an abyss from which there was no return. His lips twitched stiffly.

He took two deep drags on his cigarette, stood up, and said, "It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up. I'll head back now."

"Wait a minute." Yu Yanfei called out to him, "Old Gao, the Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, and I'm a bit short on cash. Could you see if you could spare some money for me first?"

Gao Shenghan: "...We'll talk about it later."

He said he was about to leave.

Yu Yanfei knew from his expression that he was trying to renege on his promise again, and his voice immediately turned cold: "Gao Shenghan."

Gao Shenghan paused in his steps.

"I don't want to be too harsh, but we've known each other for so many years, you should know what kind of person I am," Yu Yanfei said. "Give me at least 30 million before Mid-Autumn Festival, otherwise..."

He patted Gao Shenghan on the shoulder, the gesture carrying a strong threat.

Gao Shenghan: "..."

Only after Yu Yanfei and his men left did Gao Shenghan irritably throw his half-smoked cigarette on the ground.

thirty million!

I need to find ways to make money again.

Gao Shenghan scratched his head in frustration, starting to think of a reason to ask his wife for money.

After Xiao Yun went to another city to film, Yan Zhen returned to the Yan family and resumed his days of working during the day and suffering from insomnia at night.

Unlike before, Xiao Yun, who was out of town, would report his entire day's itinerary to her on WeChat every night, as if he were giving a report.

What time did we start work in the morning, and what time did we finish work at night? The food on set wasn't very good. The climate in X province was better than in Hangzhou, and the air was fresher. I made some new friends on set, and we had hot pot together...

Yan Zhen replies depending on her mood. When she's in a good mood, she'll reply with a few words, but when she's in a bad mood or busy, she'll pretend she didn't see it.

Gao Shenghan, on the other hand, made an excuse to go on a business trip and disappeared for several days before returning.

After he returned, Yan Zhen noticed that his attitude towards him and the Yan family had become more attentive—he would pick up and drop off Gao Xinyu from school in the morning and evening, and when the family made soup, he would volunteer to deliver it to Yan's father's company, take Yan's mother to the beauty salon, and even take the initiative to deliver Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to the Yan family's old friends.

That deliberate attentiveness carried a hint of self-interest.

Sure enough, after a few days of courting, Gao Shenghan subtly suggested to Yan Zhen that his company needed funds.

“The previous project lasted for so long but still failed, so I’m thinking of starting a new project,” Gao Shenghan said. “The team has been preparing for more than two months and everything is ready. Now all we need is funding. Once the funding is in place, we can start the project.”

As he said this, Yan Zhen was scheduling a meeting with a psychologist on WeChat—her sleep quality had been poor during this period, and because she didn't want to become overly dependent on Xiao Yun, she planned to see a psychologist.

"How many projects have failed under your management now?" Yan Zhen asked without looking up. "So much money has been poured in, and not even a sound has been heard. It proves that you are not cut out for business. Pay the team's salaries and disband the team. Don't waste money."

"Honey, I want to try one more time, just one last time!" Gao Shenghan said hurriedly. "This project has a very high success rate. If you don't believe me, you can look at the proposal. Besides, the investment amount this time isn't high, only thirty-five million..."

As he spoke, he handed the prepared proposal to Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen didn't answer. The psychologist on WeChat said that she had time now. She grabbed her bag, got up and left: "You've really been living a good life for too long and have forgotten who you are. Thirty-five million is 'not high'. Since you think this amount of money is not much, then find a way to make the money yourself."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

Gao Shenghan: "..."

As Gao Shenghan watched her retreating figure, a surge of hatred slowly welled up within him.

Before he spoke, he had considered that Yan Zhen might refuse.

After all, she was capable of telling him to leave with nothing and that she wanted to save the money for her mistress, so how could she possibly give him any more money?

Hearing her say those words herself, Gao Shenghan's anger still surged uncontrollably.

For a fleeting moment, a murderous intent arose in his heart.

If I stage an accident and quietly kill my wife, can I then rightfully inherit her estate?

But Gao Shenghan quickly dismissed the idea.

His parents-in-law had seen how strained his relationship with Yan Zhen had become recently, and if something happened to Yan Zhen at this critical juncture, they would suspect him first.

His wife cheated on him, and as the cheated husband, he had the strongest motive to kill her.

Unless you kill your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Yan Heng as well, otherwise...

and many more!

Kill even his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Yan Heng?

This idea was like a seed that fell into Gao Shenghan's heart and quickly took root.

Yan Zhen came out of the psychological clinic, looked at the medicine in his hand, and gave a helpless bitter smile.

After going around in circles, we still have to rely on medication for intervention.

She got into the car and was about to tell Lao Zhang to go home when her phone rang.

It was Yan Jing calling.

Yan Jing was filming in X province at this time, in the same production crew as Xiao Yun. When she called at this hour, Yan Zhen instinctively felt that something had happened.

She immediately swiped to answer the call.

"Auntie, please help me!" Yan Jing said hurriedly, without even having time to greet her. "Xiao Yun has been maliciously slandered. Could you please ask the public relations department of the Yan Group to help deal with this? Those rumors are really too much!"

"Don't rush, tell me slowly," Yan Zhen asked. "What happened?"

"It was Xiao Yun's father. He brought a reporter from a conflict mediation program to the film set to cause trouble, saying that Xiao Yun refused to support him. We didn't take it seriously before, thinking that we could just get rid of him."

However, after the program went online yesterday, Xiao Yun was heavily criticized. Today, a large number of self-media outlets went to the vicinity of the film set to broadcast live, which seriously affected the filming. The director and producer were very angry.

The producer said that if this matter isn't handled properly, it will negatively impact the show's reputation and public image after it airs. They are currently considering replacing Xiao Yun.
