Chapter 371: Staking Everything

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A few years ago, Yi Zheng had just inherited the entire Yi family from his father. The hearts of the various branches of the family wavered, and the lineage represented by Yi Kun went against Yi Zheng everywhere.

At that time, Tang Zhe was assisting Yi Zheng in the open, and Liu Ran was secretly assisting him in the dark.

In order to train his son, Yi Long left the country resolutely with his wife. He had no intention of interfering.

Yi Kun was brazenly causing trouble for Yi Zheng. Liu Ran couldn’t bear to see her master rack his brains and waste time every day for such a wicked person. She risked everything to get close to Yi Kun behind Yi Zheng’s back and became the most glamorous woman beside him.

It was already too late when Yi Zheng found out.

At a banquet where many big shots in the business world were gathered, Yi Zheng saw Yi Kun’s hand wrapped around Liu Ran’s waist. The two of them were acting intimately. Only then did he know what Liu Ran had been busy with recently.

Yi Zheng held back his anger at that time, but he still asked Tang Zhe to ask her personally.

Liu Ran had made up her mind. Moreover, she had already successfully approached Yi Kun. Although she had yet to gain his trust, this did not mean that she had no chance at all.

There was no turning back. In order not to arouse Yi Kun’s suspicion, she chose to stay by his side and secretly inform Yi Zheng.

Because of her occasional help, Yi Zheng completely suppressed Yi Kun’s aura, cleared the obstacles, and became the new head of the Yi family.

However, she never expected that Yi Kun’s gentleness was just an illusion. The expiration period of his good temper was too short.

When he still had the ability to compete with Yi Zheng, he was a gentle elder and leader in front of everyone. However, after he completely lost to Yi Zheng, he no longer hid his nature.

The first person to suffer was Liu Ran.

She used to be skilled, but in order not to waste the trust she had cultivated by Yi Kun’s side for so long, she endured for so many years without retaliating.

When Yi Kun was furious, he liked to vent his anger on women. Before Liu Ran, he had never revealed this perverted desire. However, later on, when he had nothing and could only guard a small company, his frustration turned into lust. He urgently needed a tool on whom he could vent at will.

The best target for him was Liu Ran.

There was not much furniture in the dilapidated room. The room was warm in the winter and hot in the summer. Even the most ordinary servant in the Yi family would not be arranged to stay in such a place.

However, Liu Ran was already used to it.

After enduring Yi Kun’s inhumane torture again, she returned to the small house alone. She took out the medicine from the drawer and used up all her remaining strength to apply the medication on herself.

She could not reach the wound on her back, so she could only apply the medicine on the gauze and use the gauze to wrap the wound tightly so that the exposed flesh could not be treated.

But even so, her healed and festering wounds still tortured her every day.

“As long as 1 endure a little more.” Liu Ran clenched her palms and gritted her teeth to prevent a tear from falling.

She had been by Yi Kun’s side for many years and had collected a lot of evidence of Yi Kun bit by bit. As long as she endured tonight, she would hand everything to her master tomorrow. That way, she would be completely free.

Shi Zhong stared at Yi Zheng in shock. It took him a while to understand what he meant. He gasped and said, “You already expected this day?”

Yi Zheng shook his head gently and sighed helplessly. “I’ve advised her many times not to do this, but she’s already made up her mind and won’t listen to my arrangements. If 1 forcefully send her away, it will arouse Yi Kun’s suspicion, so 1 can only let her be.”

“Where is this woman now?” Shi Man looked up expressionlessly, a dangerous undercurrent flowing in her eyes.

Yi Zheng said honestly, “She’s still with Yi Kun. She’ll contact Tang Zhe first tomorrow. I’ll inform you and Uncle Shi if there’s any news.”

Shi Man stopped talking and leaned back on the sofa in silence. She placed her hands on her abdomen and crossed her fingertips.

Shi Zhong coughed dryly to break the sudden silence in the study and comforted him with a dark expression, “Xiaozheng, this can’t be considered your fault. Actually, in the business world, such things are common. It’s just that Yi Kun is too much of a beast. We can’t let him off this time.”

Yi Zheng’s firm gaze remained on Shi Man, and his thin lips were a little helpless. “1 know you must disapprove of this, but what 1 want to say is that Liu Ran’s operation was not my intention, but she is wholeheartedly for me. I can’t deny her contributions over the years. When this matter is completely over, 1 will try my best to compensate her.”

“How do you want to compensate?” Shi Man looked at him playfully, her eyes filled with a teasing smile.

Yi Zheng paused for a moment and answered frankly, “I’ll give her wealth that she can’t spend in her entire life so that she can stay away from such a life for the rest of her life and do everything she wants.”

The corners of Shi Man’s mouth curled up sarcastically, and the smile in her eyes disappeared without a trace.. “Then what if you’re what she wants?”
