Tang Chen chuckled. "I was abroad for five years."
"My woman worked hard and raised my daughter alone for five years."
"But his son insulted my daughter every day, saying she had a mother but no father to raise her. He even isolated her and forbade the other children from playing with her..."
Tang Chen looked at Qian Teng and asked with a faint smile, "Can you afford to apologize for that?"
Qian Teng felt as though his head were about to explode.
He gritted his teeth, turned around, and shot Chen Xianyun a vicious glare.
That single look made Chen Xianyun swallow hard, his hands trembling beyond his control.
He realized that he might have provoked someone he should never have provoked.
"Moreover!"
Tang Chen paused before continuing, "Just today, my daughter couldn't endure the insults anymore and fought back when she tried to hit his son."
"Then this couple started insulting my daughter too, saying she had a mother but no father to raise her. They called my woman a slut and called me some wild man..."
As he spoke, Tang Chen's brows drew together, and his voice suddenly turned cold.
He enunciated each word. "Does my daughter have no father to raise her?"
"Director Qian, can you apologize on his behalf?"
"Director Qian, can you apologize on his behalf?"
Each word struck like thunder. Qian Teng's legs nearly gave out beneath him, cold sweat streaming down his cheeks like rain.
"I can't... Mr. Tang... I..."
He stammered for a long while, unable to form a complete sentence. He wished he could tear Chen Xianyun apart alive...
Behind them, Shen Qingyan listened to Tang Chen's words and unconsciously tightened her hold around the little girl in her arms.
"His woman..."
Tang Chen's words kept echoing in her mind, like raging waves washing over her heart...
Just then, Tang Chen's phone rang.
It was a message from Liu An.
A document.
The file was named "Chen Xianyun."
Tang Chen gave Qian Teng one final glance, opened the file, and skimmed through it.
Qian Teng stood nearby with his head lowered, barely daring to breathe.
"I have a file here containing all the evidence of your subordinate's corruption, abuse of power, and embezzlement."
Tang Chen looked at Qian Teng. "Will you take it to Elder Zhou yourself, or should I go myself?"
Qian Teng hurriedly said, "I'll take it, I'll take it... Mr. Tang, please calm down. Please calm down..."
"I've already had it sent to you." Tang Chen tapped his phone a few times as he spoke.
Qian Teng's phone vibrated twice. He took it out and saw that he had received a multimedia message containing a file.
He was somewhat surprised, though only somewhat. After all, his phone number was not difficult to find.
But when he opened the document and saw what it contained...
Qian Teng's expression instantly turned to utter shock, as though his jaw were about to hit the floor.
He had never expected one of his subordinates to have done such things without him knowing the slightest thing about it.
What was even more unbelievable was that Tang Chen could not have known Chen Xianyun for long.
Yet in such a short time, he had already obtained something like this...
It was simply unimaginable—and terrifying!
Seeing the change in Qian Teng's expression, Chen Xianyun's face filled with terror.
He said to Qian Teng, "Director, I was wrong. Please be merciful, don't..."
"Don't what the fuck?"
"Just wait for the prosecutors to come have a chat with you!"
Qian Teng cut Chen Xianyun off directly.
This idiot still had not grasped the situation.
Qian Teng was bowing and scraping before Tang Chen, yet Chen Xianyun was still trying to apologize to him...
How had he never noticed that there was such a brain-dead idiot among his subordinates?
The prosecutors...
A chat...
Only then did Chen Xianyun finally understand. His body swayed, and he nearly collapsed to the floor, his face ashen.
"Hubby, what are they talking about?"
Dou Hua also realized that something was wrong. She hurried to Chen Xianyun's side and anxiously asked.
"I'm finished!"
"I'm finished!"
"This time, I'm completely finished!"
Chen Xianyun shook his head frantically. Suddenly, he turned toward Dou Hua with bloodshot eyes and slapped her across the face. "Bitch, it's all your fucking fault! Great, now you're going to be without a husband, and your son's going to be without a father!"
"I..."
Dou Hua covered her face, her complexion pale as paper.
Only after hearing Chen Xianyun say it himself did Dou Hua finally become certain.
Everything Qian Teng said was true.
Chen Xianyun was going to be investigated!
"Ahhh!!!"
"You little bastard who ruined your father, I'll beat you to death!!"
Unable to accept reality, Dou Hua let out a hysterical scream. She actually turned her gaze toward her son, Chen Hao, and began beating him wildly to vent her anger...
Chen Hao began crying hysterically once more.
A child of five or six was being subjected to such cruelty.
Yet no one who saw it felt even the slightest sympathy. Some even found it deeply satisfying...
Pitiful people always had something hateful about them.
He was only a child.
But when he humiliated Tang Yao, had he shown even the slightest kindness?
"He brought this upon himself."
Shen Qingyan shook her head and murmured to herself.
Tang Chen walked over to her.
With one hand, he took Tang Yao from her arms. With the other, he took Shen Qingyan's hand.
"Let's go."
Feeling the warmth in his hand, Shen Qingyan still blushed even though this was far from the first time.
But she did not pull away. She nodded and let Tang Chen lead her outside...
Held by Tang Chen.
Cradled in Tang Chen's arms.
Both mother and daughter felt an overwhelming sense of security!
Before Tang Chen had appeared.
It was a feeling and experience they had never known...
Tang Chen looked at the little girl in his arms and asked, "Yaoyao, are you happy now?"
"Daddy, Yaoyao is happy!" Tang Yao said, clinging tightly around Tang Chen's neck.
Tang Chen wanted to rub the little girl's head, but then he suddenly realized that his other hand was holding Shen Qingyan's. He instinctively looked up at her.
