594 Exist in Name Only

The completion of this matter was of utmost importance to him. Although he would receive a generous reward, and would be set for life, if he could not do it, the backlash would be equally serious.

After hearing the canteen manager’s words, both Xia Fei and Fatty Chen felt chills down their spines.

Although the probability of success was very high, it was not 100% guaranteed. What if Chu Ning did not come to the cafeteria for lunch?

The manager’s expression softened. He released their collars, patted the fat chef’s shoulder, and looked at him meaningfully. “Fatty Chen, what Xia Fei has, you have too.”

“I know. But are you sure there’s no risk in doing this? What if Chu Ning suddenly senses something?” The fat chef pursed his lips and subconsciously glanced at the top right corner of the office.

“I don’t agree if you want to go to jail! Once this matter is leaked, I’ll be the first to suffer. You’re just accomplices. Besides, this will be mixed in the food; there’s no way Chu Ning will be able to detect it,” the manager explained.

After saying that, he took out his phone. After tapping at it, the fat chef’s phone sounded.

“I’ve also transferred a million to you. After the matter is done, I’ll give you another million. How is it? Am I generous enough?” the manager said with a smile.

In fact, the person who had asked him to do this gave him a total of 10 million. If possible, he would not want to give out a single cent, but if he wanted to do this, he had to give up sufficient benefits.

Even so, he kept 6 million for himself and split the remaining 4 million between Xia Fei and Fatty Chen. It was not that he was willing to do so, but if he did not do so, he would not be able to complete the task that person had given him.

Meanwhile, in the Ye family’s villa.

Ye Zhen and Cheng Yi were sitting opposite each other, their faces expressionless.

Ye Ting was not there. Her mental state was not ideal and she was receiving treatment in the hospital. Otherwise, it was very likely that she would become a mental patient.

Ever since Ye Zhen slapped Cheng Yi at the charity gala previously, the only remaining relationship between the two of them had broken down. There were many reasons why the two of them could still be seated together — Chu Ning’s threat, Ye Ting’s belonging, and Cheng Yi’s one-sided hatred for Ye Zhen.

“I’ve already gotten someone to do it. If nothing goes wrong, she should become demented and lose her intelligence. After a period of time, her body will slowly stiffen until she’s paralyzed.” Ye Zhen finally spoke.

A few seconds later, Cheng Yi suddenly sneered and asked, “Does your heart ache?”

“What do you mean by that?” Ye Zhen frowned and looked at Cheng Yi.

Although he and Cheng Yi were still husband and wife, they had already drawn a line between them. They lived in the same house but slept separately.

“Let me ask you, doesn’t your heart ache for your ex-daughter, dealing with her so viciously?” Cheng Yi said persistently.

“Cheng Yi, don’t go too far.” When Ye Zhen heard Cheng Yi repeating this sentence, his expression became ugly.

What did she mean by heart aching for her? This was clearly Cheng Yi’s intention, and Ye Zhen was originally a little hesitant. In the end, from the way Cheng Yi had put it, he had become the evil person instead…

“I’m going too far? Ye Zhen, if it wasn’t for the fact that you’ve been protecting that b****, would my Ting ‘er have become like this? As a father, you’re really a wimp. You want to harm the daughter you picked up, and you’re helpless when your own daughter is harmed. Tsk tsk, Ye Zhen, what use do you have?” Cheng Yi continued to mock him without a care.

Hearing Cheng Yi’s derision, Ye Zhen was stunned. He did not refute.

Ye Zhen knew that Cheng Yi was right.

As a father, he was an utter failure.

“Cheng Yi, don’t get me wrong. I never wanted to protect Chu Ning from the beginning. It was you who refused to let her go. This kind of thinking has indirectly affected Xiao Ting, which led to today’s situation. Now, I don’t want to persuade you, and I can’t be bothered to interfere. You’ve seen the end result,” Ye Zhen said indifferently.

“Hmph. Anyway, after today, that little b**** won’t be able to be arrogant anymore. I’ll torture her properly! Ye Zhen, don’t even think about having it easy either!” Although Cheng Yi knew that she was being unreasonable, her extreme hatred had already blinded her thoughts. She even took the risk to directly drug Chu Ning.
