The Empress’s Transmigration into a Magnate’s Wife

Chapter 178

Slap!

The next morning at 9 am, Yang Wanwan, who had been hiding all night, finally crept back to the apartment she was renting at the film and TV city.

As soon as she entered the door, she was greeted with a backhanded slap from Yang Yue!

Yang Yue hit her very hard and heavily!

It knocked her down to the ground all at once, and half of her face immediately swelled up, with blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

Yang Yue's face was extremely gloomy.

He stared at her with an ice-cold and angry gaze, his voice piercingly cold: "Did you take my words as just a gust of wind beside your ears?!"

Wanwan covered her face for a moment, crawled up from the ground, and stood in front of him with her head drooping: "I'm sorry."

Huo Shao Ting was so angry he could have killed her!

This matter had caused such a big commotion that it would not be easy to deal with Rong Dai again in the future!

This foolish woman!

She deserved to be ruined by her own actions!

If he had known earlier that she would be so disobedient and useless, he should have just let her be ravaged to death at the beginning!

"Shuang."

Yang Yue stared at her with an icy gaze, and solemnly called out a name.

A very burly man with tattooed arms walked out from inside.

"Send her away."

"No! I'm not going anywhere!"

Upon hearing Yang Yue's order, Yang Wanwan was so frightened that she immediately knelt down! She clutched his pant legs tightly and pleaded:

"I've suffered so much, endured so many hardships, it was all thanks to Rong Dai! If she doesn't die, what meaning is there for me to live?"

"You have no right to negotiate with me. I already said at the beginning, if you don't listen to me, you bear the consequences yourself."

Yang Yue looked down at her, his gaze extremely cold.

"You disrupted my plans and ruined the situation I had carefully orchestrated. Do you think I would keep a disobedient dog around to undermine me?"

"Ying Yue and Huo Shaojie won't be able to find anything, but Huo Shaoting will. What you did has already threatened me, you have to leave."

His voice was completely devoid of emotion, cold as a slab of steel.

"I...I promise I won't do it again! I was just unwilling! All of that should have been mine, but she took it all away!"

"I just wanted to teach her a lesson, I really hate her so much!"

When Yang Yue heard her words, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Teach her a lesson? Your stupidity will only get yourself killed again. Send her away!"

This time, Yang Wanwan's unilateral actions angered him.

Yang Wanwan's actions could very likely lead Huo Shaoting to investigate him.

He was very familiar with Huo Shaoting's capabilities.

"I'm stupid? I just wanted her to die! If I'm stupid, then Wen Shilan isn't much smarter either! Otherwise she wouldn't be in jail right now!"

With her hands grabbed by Shuang, Yang Wanwan shouted in great unwillingness.

Of course she knew about Yang Yue's affairs, she had looked into it specifically.

Slap!

She was slapped again.

Now both sides of her face were symmetrically swollen.

Yang Yue stared at her sinisterly: "You have no right to mention her name in the same breath. Even if she fell into the mud, she would still be a thousand times, ten thousand times more noble than you! You know exactly how you rose to fame and how filthy you are."

Yang Wanwan was frightened by his gaze, her face ghastly pale as she looked at him, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Yang Yue looked at her with an icy, contemptuous gaze: "I really regret saving a foolish woman like you back then, not a shred of brains."

"Those investors and bosses who promoted you, like Mr. Wang, do you know how miserable they are now?"

"The three blockbuster films they invested in were indefinitely postponed from release, every business under their names suffered huge losses."

With each word he spoke, Wanwan's eyes grew more despairing.

"Who do you think you are? Even something as basic as slipping sleeping pills could occur to you? Hmm?"

"It would have been fine if Rong Dai had died."

"But now not only is she not dead, this matter has also made the news. For a woman like Rong Dai, Huo Shaoting will do anything, do you think that's how Mr. Wang came to ruin? It's because he promoted you."

"If I hand you over to Mr. Wang now, do you think you would survive?"

This sentence completely crushed the last shreds of pride and hope in Wanwan's heart.

"Please...don't hand me over, I'll listen to whatever you say from now on."

Yang Wanwan pleaded in despair.

"Boss, look."

Shuang handed his phone to Yang Yue, which showed that a nationwide warrant had been issued for the fugitive known as Wang Xin, Yang Wanwan's alias.

Yang Yue gave a cold laugh, didn't even glance at Yang Wanwan.

"It's useless now, you can't escape. I have no more need for a stupid woman like you either."

He tossed the phone to Yang Wanwan.

Looking at the information on the screen, Yang Wanwan's complexion changed dramatically, and she collapsed limply on the ground, her mind buzzing.

"How could this be?"

Yang Yue sneered lightly: "This is what happens when you offend Huo Shaoting. Rong Dai is his soft spot, you provoked his inverse scales. Even if you altered your appearance, even if you turned to ash, Huo Shaoting has the ability to find you."

"Please save me! I will definitely listen to you, obey your orders!"

Only now did Yang Wanwan understand what fear was, what hovering on the brink of death was like.

"It's too late. The one chance you had was wasted because of your stupidity."

Yang Yue answered her very coldly.

"Shuang, handle it cleanly."

"No—!"

Yang Wanwan shrieked, then was knocked out by Shuang the next second.

...

At 10 am, Rong Dai groggily woke up.

She slowly opened her eyes, the snow-white ceiling made her eyes sting from the glare, and her head swam with dizziness.

Her whole body was weak and sore.

"Wife."

Huo Shaoting had been keeping watch over her the whole time. Those few short hours felt extremely, extremely difficult for him.

Seeing Rong Dai wake up, he was overjoyed, gripping her hands tightly and looking at her gently yet excitedly as he leaned in.

"Dear, I...it hurts a lot."

Rong Dai frowned, her voice soft and weak. Aside from the dizziness, her head throbbed with waves of piercing pain.

Seeing that she was still herself, Huo Shaoting finally felt the tension in his heart relax.

He carefully helped prop her up, poured some warm water for her, and only then called the doctor in to examine her.

"There are no major issues now. Be mindful of a lighter diet these next few days, and rest for a week, then there will be nothing to worry about."

The doctor gave some instructions after the examination.

Only then was Huo Shaoting reassured. The doctor handed over the medical records and lab results to him: "These may be helpful to you, the patient needs rest, don't let other matters disturb her."

Huo Shaoting took them and handed them to Assistant Zhang to handle.

Last night's events had already exploded online, all the trending topics on social media this morning were about what happened on set last night.

The warrant had gone out, but some netizens' mouths and hands were more vicious than poison, so clarification and evidence were necessary.

Assistant Zhang was skilled at handling these matters. After publicizing the medical records and lab results, the online furor boiled even higher.
