Lin Wanxi immediately panicked, "Get off me! Are you trying to act like a rogue?"

Chen Xuan shrugged, "You're being unreasonable! Clearly, you were seducing me earlier, and now you're blaming me?"

Lin Wanxi sneered, "Don't you know you shouldn't try to reason with a woman?"

Chen Xuan was a bit angry and helpless, "Then give me back the jade pendant, you can't deny that, can you?"

Lin Wanxi snorted lightly, "You've been after my jade pendant repeatedly, Chen Xuan, it's apparent you had ulterior motives in marrying me!"

"Until I figure out your true intentions, I won't easily give the jade pendant to you."

Chen Xuan shook his head, "Fine, then let's stick to the facts."

"You were kidnapped by Zhou Ping'an, wasn't it me who rescued you, keeping you safe from being disgraced and humiliated?"

"Asking for the jade pendant in return isn't unreasonable, right?"

Immediately, Lin Wanxi's face showed anger, "Chen Xuan, I didn't expect you'd be this kind of person!"

"Get out, get out right now!"

"What's wrong with you? You flip out just like that!" Chen Xuan felt he couldn't understand this woman, what kind of temperament does she have?

"I'm flipping out, get out! I'm telling you, Chen Xuan, there's no way you'll get the jade pendant!" Lin Wanxi shouted coldly.

Chen Xuan also got angry, "You're truly... unreasonable!"

He turned, opened the door, and walked out, slamming it shut.

Lin Wanxi sat angrily on the bed, becoming more irritated the more she thought.

She had thought Chen Xuan's reckless rescue last time was because he cared about his wife's identity and had feelings for her.

Unexpectedly, it was actually for the jade pendant!

It's turned into a transaction!

Everything has changed!

Originally, tonight she wanted to talk to Chen Xuan properly, express gratitude face to face, and apologize for previously misunderstanding him.

Instead...

A disagreement arose, and the conversation fell through completely.

And Chen Xuan did not know the reason for Lin Wanxi's sudden change, and was very angry at this moment.

Thinking Lin Wanxi was simply unreasonable.

That evening.

Zhou Family Mansion.

Zhou Tianlei sat in the main room, his expression grim and terrifying.

His son Zhou Ping'an's body was found in an abandoned factory in the suburbs, charred beyond recognition.

This brutal killing, along with the destruction of evidence, made him extremely furious.

The butler walked in from outside, "Master, we haven't found any results from the investigation, the scene was burned down and no evidence was left."

"Useless! A bunch of incompetent fools!"

Zhou Tianlei roared, "Is my son supposed to die in vain? Find the killer for me! I want to tear him apart!"

The butler trembled and quickly spoke quietly, "Master, we haven't come up totally empty-handed."

"According to the investigation, Young Master had previously coerced Lin Wanxi, and Lin Wanxi has a husband named Chen Xuan."

"The old servant suspects that Young Master's death... might be related to Lin Wanxi and Chen Xuan? But there's no evidence, it's hard to conclude."

Hmph!

Zhou Tianlei snorted coldly, "Regardless of whether they're involved, since my son liked Lin Wanxi, let Lin Wanxi be buried with him!"

"Tomorrow, exert all efforts to suppress New Moon Company, if the killer is Chen Xuan, he will definitely step up for Lin Wanxi!"

"By then, the Zhou Family will have a legitimate reason to kill him!"

"Understood, I'll arrange it immediately." The butler responded and exited the main room.

...

Next morning.

The Zhou Family immediately began suppressing New Moon Company, using their influence to block sales channels again.

In the company, Lin Zhiguo was greatly troubled.

"Why is the Zhou Family suddenly crazily suppressing our company?"

"Could it be that Zhou Ping'an was not content and called upon the Zhou Family to act?"

Lin Zhiguo was worriedly pacing around.

Lin Wanxi didn't reply, she knew very well in her heart.

This had nothing to do with Zhou Ping'an, that guy had already become a corpse.

"Dad, don't worry, the Zhou Family can't cover the sky with one hand."

"They've only blocked part of the sales channels, we still have Ruixiang Chain Pharmacy."

Lin Zhiguo sighed, "Relying solely on Ruixiang Chain Pharmacy, our sales network is too narrow."

"We can only keep the company running, how can we talk about development? There's no room for improvement."

"Why not ask Chen Xuan for help again, to solve the company's predicament?"

Lin Wanxi got a bit angry, "Dad, we can't rely on him for everything, are you and I useless?"

"He's not omnipotent! It's impossible for him to coincidentally solve problems every time!"

Just then, Chen Xuan arrived at the office door and overheard this sentence.

Lin Wanxi actually thought the last time he helped solve the company's crisis it was due to luck.

"Lin Wanxi, you're really underestimating me." Chen Xuan walked into the office, laughing coldly.

"Chen Xuan, you're here at just the right time."

Lin Zhiguo looked eagerly, "The company is in big trouble now, do you have any good ways to help solve the current predicament?"
