Chapter 9

Zhao Ben grinned cheekily and clasped his hands repeatedly: “President Zhong, please forgive me, the plan has changed.”

He spoke without a trace of guilt: “Yesterday, she did message me to meet up, but very soon she sent another message, saying you suddenly invited her to have dinner near your company. The driver was almost downstairs at her place, so she could only go see you first.”

I said nothing.

Thinking about my wife about to sleep with another man.

I don’t know why, but while I felt humiliated, I also faintly felt a trace of excitement.

I wanted to see how this foolish woman would act in front of me.

So, on a whim, I asked her out.

Coincidentally, a new restaurant had just opened in the mall near my company. My female subordinates said we could go eat some “pretty food,” so I took her there.

After dinner, I casually took her to the branded bag store on the first floor and bought her a bag.

She looked both surprised and delighted, “Honey, it’s not my birthday or any holiday, why the extravagance?”

I held her hand affectionately: “Loving my wife doesn’t need a time or place, I just wanted to buy it for you.”

Actually, I was giving her a chance.

I had already made up my mind.

If she came to her senses and cut off Zhao Ben completely from this moment on, I was willing to forgive her.

But she still contacted Zhao Ben.

“She finished dinner and then asked to meet me. Maybe she was thinking about our plan for the evening, but no matter how I tried, I didn’t succeed…”

Spitting blood.

Why wasn’t such important information communicated in time?

He didn’t succeed, so even if someone did something to Ding Ning that night, what would be the point?

I held back my temper: “So what happened that night? Didn’t we agree you’d find someone?”

Zhao Ben’s left leg kept shaking, looking all nonchalant: “Didn’t you want me to find someone reliable to handle your wife…”

He slapped his own mouth, “Look at my mouth… to handle that matter, that matter.”

“I figured, this matter isn’t huge, but it’s not small either. Xiao Ning… your wife often does all kinds of core training, her strength is pretty good, I was afraid one person couldn’t handle her, which would be even more troublesome.”

He said: “So I simply had that guy find another person. Two men holding down one woman, isn’t that more than enough?”

“Double insurance, don’t you think?”

The more I listened, the angrier I got.

This guy is not only unreliable, but also completely untrustworthy.

My wife must have been blind to fall for a man like this.

I said coldly: “Actually, there are plenty of people who could do the dirty work for me. Do you know why I chose you?”

Zhao Ben smiled obsequiously: “President Zhong, we’re all men, how could I not understand? You… ruthless enough to be a real man!”

“You messed up my whole plan!” I said harshly, “The deposit, treat it as hush money, I won’t ask you to return it. But as for the remaining payment, don’t even think about it!”

“Also, keep your people in line, tell them not to spread anything around. You know what happens to someone convicted of rape in prison!”

Zhao Ben wiped the ingratiating smile off his face, his expression turning sinister: “I do know what happens to someone convicted of rape in prison. But if someone goes to prison for inciting others to rape his own wife, that outcome-I really don’t know.”

He reached out and snatched the cigar from my hand, took a deep drag, and said meaningfully: “At least in prison, getting a puff of a cigar isn’t so easy.”

“The thing you asked me to do, I did it. A man should keep his word. The remaining 2.8 million-see if you can transfer it to my account as agreed.”
