Ex-Husband Comes Crawling Back After Divorce

"Let go of me, you beast! Let me go now," Xu Kexin's frightened voice echoed through the room.

"Zhou Yu, go save Kexin." Wen Shimo's gaze was as dangerous and terrifying as Satan from hell as he stared at Qiao Ran, "You see Wanqing awake and immediately harm the person most important to her. With concrete evidence this time, how will you explain yourself?"

Wasn't he supposed to be omnipotent?

Xu Kexin was using such despicable tactics on her female colleagues to gain benefits. Why didn't he bother to check?

Everything was a fit-up for Song Wanqing. Loving Song Wanqing so much, how could he still not control himself and sleep with her?

"I do have ulterior motives. I want to take everything that belongs to your precious Song Wanqing. What I can't take, I'll destroy. What can you do to me?" Qiao Ran looked provocatively at Wen Shimo.

Wen Shimo, seeing her not only unrepentant for her misdeeds but also shamelessly declaring her intent to take everything from Song Wanqing, felt his anger rapidly rising.

"Then let me show you what I can do to you."

Wen Shimo had just reached out for Qiao Ran when she quickly sprayed him several times in the face with her Anti-wolf Stick.

"Ah..." The burning pain in his eyes made Wen Shimo grunt in agony, hurriedly reaching to wipe his eyes.

"Anti-wolf Stick is specially made for violent men like you who lose their temper at the drop of a hat. Wen Shimo, the taste of pepper spray isn't pleasant, is it? I'd advise you not to lay hands on me so casually in the future. I won't let you push me around like before," Qiao Ran said as she ran to a safe distance, watching Wen Shimo with a sense of satisfaction.

This Anti-wolf Spray was specially formulated by her, several times more painful than the regular kind.

In the past, he had bullied her relentlessly because she loved him. Now that she had come to her senses and realized this man wasn't worth loving, she had no intentions of indulging him.

To deal with men who jump to conclusions without thinking and are quick to sentence others to death, one has to resort to such simple and violent methods. If it's necessary to spray, then spray.

Through his blurry vision, Wen Shimo watched Qiao Ran's fleetingly retreating figure, his rage reaching a peak.

He had been attacked by a woman.

Damn Qiao Ran, once I catch you, you're dead.

Wen Shimo entered the room and saw Wu Qingqiang beaten to a pulp, trembling and kneeling on the ground.

"President, Miss Xu has been drugged," Zhou Yu said as he pushed away Kexin who was trying to kiss him.

"Kexin, hold on for a bit. I'm taking you to the hospital," Wen Shimo said, enduring the discomfort in his eyes as he pulled Xu Kexin to his side.

Seeing Wen Shimo, Kexin's face immediately showed unabashed love, her voice a mix of shock and joy, "Shimo, is it really you? Am I not dreaming? Shimo, you know what? I've loved you for seven years, I really love you so much." And with that, she tried to kiss Wen Shimo.

Wen Shimo's insides filled with intense disgust at the moment, realizing the name inside the shattered Unity Jade was indeed his.

Thinking that his name had been etched alongside Xu Kexin's in the same jade for seven years, Wen Shimo was filled with a chilling sensation. He decisively chopped at the back of Xu Kexin's neck, rendering her unconscious, then disdainfully handed her over to Zhou Yu.

"Take her to the hospital, and make sure she doesn't know it was us who saved her."

"Yes, President!"

After Zhou Yu left, Wen Shimo lit a cigarette and blew a faint smoke ring, his voice calm and untroubled, "Recount today's events in detail."

Wen Shimo's voice wasn't loud, but it made Wu Qingqiang's heart race, as if seeing the grim reaper himself, shaking like a leaf.

"Wen... President Wen, it was all Xu Kexin's plan. I had nothing to do with it. She knew I liked women and said she would give me... your ex-wife..."

With a "whoosh..." Wen Shimo sprang to his feet, the cigarette falling from his hand onto the carpet.

"You say that again!" Wen Shimo's voice was cold and bone-chilling, striking to the heart.

"Don't be angry, Mr. Wen, I didn't touch her, I know she's your ex-wife, and even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare touch her. I was just trying to use this situation to threaten Xu Kexin, I really didn't touch your ex-wife, please spare me this once." Watching the fire slowly burn the carpet, amidst the flames, Wu Qingqiang pleaded with tears streaming down his face.

"Besides this one time, what other unspeakable deals have you and Xu Kexin carried out?" Amidst the growing flames, Wen Shimo stood at the other end of the fire, his dark gaze even more dangerously lethal than the flickering sparks.

...

That night, the news revealed the notorious director Wu Qingqiang, for taking advantage of his position to sexually exploit actresses in clandestine deals.

Because the evidence was irrefutable and the nature of the offense was severe, an official arrest warrant was issued for Wu Qingqiang.

Qiao Ran, watching the news, was certain that it was Wen Shimo who had uncovered the truth about last night's events and, in an effort to save face for his manhood, exposed Wu Qingqiang's scandal.

He punished Wu Qingqiang but let Xu Kexin off.

It was evident how deeply he cherished his love for Song Wanqing, to the point of tolerating Xu Kexin challenging his most valued face-saving matters.

Qiao Ran snorted coldly, the more he shielded, the more she wanted to bring the truth to light.

The next day, a story titled "Director Wu's Scandalous Affairs with Female Executive" was released in the entertainment news.

It explicitly named Xu Kexin for conspiring with Wu Qingqiang privately in order to secure a cooperation deal for a costume project in a TV series and setting up her female colleagues for exploitation.

The news, with pictures and bona fide proof, and involving Qiao Ran—an already hot topic in the news—quickly soared to the top of the trending searches.

Although it was widely known Wen Shimo didn't love Qiao Ran, personal feelings aside, as an ex-wife, she still represented the Wen Family's face. Xu Kexin daring to scheme against Qiao Ran was equivalent to disrespecting the Wen Family.

This news came out while Wen Shimo was having breakfast with Song Wanqing in her hospital room.

Xu Kexin and Song Wanqing were laughing and discussing Wu Qingqiang's news as if nothing had happened the night before.

This was the effect of the drug she had bought; it left people with no memory of what had happened, making it impossible for those exploited female colleagues to confront her for reasons they couldn't remember.

So she didn't know it was Wen Shimo who had saved her, and in front of Wen Shimo, she revealed her secrets that were buried deep in her heart.

She continued to act out a close sisterly bond with Song Wanqing in front of Wen Shimo without any sense of guilt.

"The entertainment industry is too scary, even a minor director has exploited so many women; if he's not sentenced to life in prison, it will hardly satisfy the public," Song Wanqing indignantly said.

"That's how the entertainment circle is, that's why I initially advised you not to get involved in it. Even though you have your brother-in-law to protect you and won't suffer losses, I still didn't want you in such a complex environment. Someone as pure and beautiful as you should live a life untainted by worldly dust," Xu Kexin said tenderly.

Wen Shimo watched silently as Xu Kexin lied to Song Wanqing's face without a blush or palpitation, feeling a chill in his heart.

For so many years, he hadn't seen through Xu Kexin for the adept pretender she was.

Rather than saying he hadn't seen through her, it would be more accurate to say he had never bothered to take a proper look at Xu Kexin.

Xu Kexin was Song Wanqing's cousin, and since Song Wanqing deeply trusted her, Wen Shimo never thought to investigate someone who seemed so inconsequential.

"I used to fantasize about entering the entertainment industry, but now I can't even stand on my own two feet, so I've given up on those dreams."

Song Wanqing sighed as she exited the news, but then she saw another headline in the news recommendations and exclaimed in surprise, "Someone's leaked more secrets about a person with the last name Wu."
