After she left her father and kept her son, President Pei lost control and knelt down.

Qiao Wan led Zhang Manman into her office, which used to be An Leyi's office. It was a spacious single room with a separate rest area and bathroom, even more luxurious than Luo Cheng's.

She found some medicine and applied it to Zhang Manman's face. The girl was thin and weak, clearly having suffered from long-term bullying. Her hands were wrapped in tape, and her knuckles were deformed; it was almost unbearable to look at.

"I'm safe here. Just let me know if you need any help."

"Mrs. Pei, please, save my mother."

Zhang Manman suddenly slid off the sofa and knelt down in front of Qiao Wan.

She was about to kowtow again when Qiao Wan stopped her.

Who is your mother?

"Zhang Xiu, she works as your maid at Tanshu."

A look of surprise flashed across Qiao Wan's eyes. She released her grip, lowered her gaze to look at Zhang Manman, and her expression turned indifferent.

"Jiang Chunzhi bullied you so badly, yet all you want to do is beg me to save your mother. You say Jiang Chunzhi is a demon, and your mother is an accomplice."

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Pei, my mother only helped Jiang Chunzhi for my sake. She has her own reasons. Only when she is free can I be free."

"relief?"

Qiao Wan sensed a hint of suicidal intent in her voice.

Zhang Manman's eyes were filled with despair, and tears streamed down her face.

"Once my mother is free from suffering, I can leave in peace."

Qiao Wan felt nothing but sympathy and endless regret: "You're being ridiculous! Are you out of your mind? You don't even want to save yourself, yet you want to save your mother?"

"My future is ruined. As long as I live and my hands can still play the piano, I will forever be Jiang Chunzhi's tool, drained dry by her. She will only let me go if I die."

As Zhang Manman spoke, she took out a folding knife from her pocket and made a cut on her arm.

"Are you crazy? Why are you hurting yourself? Let me bandage you up."

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Fu Hansheng rushed in, shielding Qiao Wan behind him. He then turned around and kicked Zhang Manman to the ground.

Qiao Wan was startled: "Pei Hansheng, what are you doing!"

Pei Hansheng, his face cold, pulled Qiao Wan out of the office and quickly ordered his subordinates: "Call 120. There's an AIDS patient bleeding here. Seal off this office and disinfect it thoroughly."

"Yes, Mr. Pei."

Qiao Wan belatedly realized: "Zhang Manman's AIDS is inextricably linked to Jiang Chunzhi. You knew everything all along?"

What she really wanted to ask was why he knew exactly what Jiang Chunzhi had done, yet he continued to indulge and spoil her, even challenging the bottom line of humanity.

Zhang Manman's current predicament is a good thing that Jiang Chunzhi did.

Pei Hansheng stared at her cold, icy face. Perhaps she had touched a nerve, because he was a little annoyed and fiercely grabbed her wrist: "You go disinfect yourself too."

Qiao Wan broke free of his hand, her heart filled with disappointment.

"I'm inherently dirty in your heart, no amount of disinfection will help."

Pei Hansheng scoffed, "If I thought you were dirty, would I lick you?"

Qiao Wan frowned.

She suddenly remembered something.

"Pei Hansheng, did you switch my medicine?"

Pei Hansheng's brows furrowed with displeasure: "Don't be so suspicious. Thinking too much is not good for your condition."

Qiao Wan sneered and stood in the corridor without saying a word.

In this man's eyes, she was a complete madwoman, and no matter how she tried to prove herself in the future, she could never change that image.

"There's something wrong with my medication."

"What's the problem?"

"It's been replaced. This is the inspection report."

She took the report out of her bag, but it was knocked away and stepped on by Jiang Chunzhi, who rushed over.

"Hansheng, what happened here? Why is an ambulance here? Are you alright?"

A group of medical staff in full protective gear rushed in and dispersed the onlookers.

Pei Hansheng naturally shielded Jiang Chunzhi behind him: "I'm fine. It's your little follower who has no self-respect, got sick and still runs around harming others."

Qiao Wan raised her eyes and observed Jiang Chunzhi's expression.

Her tone was clearly worried, but her expression was indifferent, with a hint of excitement mixed in.

"Who did she harm? Whose clothes did she stain with her blood?"

Pei Hansheng frowned: "With me here, she can't hurt anyone. She's the source of the virus, why do you still want her by your side?"

"It's all because her mother keeps begging me to take her abroad; I'm fed up with her!"

Jiang Chunzhi covered her mouth and nose, her eyes full of disgust.

She only sent Zhang Manman to the beds of a few big shots to play around, and she got this disease. Now, she has to find a suitable substitute to play the piano for her. Just thinking about it is annoying.

Zhang Manman was carried out and rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. She was a young girl in the prime of her life, yet she was tortured like this, while the executioner behind her remained at large. It's truly tragic to think about.

Qiao Wan saw everything clearly, but she didn't believe that Pei Hansheng was just a fool kept in the dark, simply going along with Jiang Chunzhi and letting her act recklessly.

A pair of scoundrels.

She didn't want to look at them anymore and went into the office.

There was a cell phone on the sofa, playing a video.

The camera is focused on a large bed. The surrounding environment is dimly lit, suggesting it's a bedroom with a foreign-style decor.

Jiang Chunzhi kissed a white man, and they ended up in bed together, with all sorts of things going on until she was completely exhausted. Later, a black man joined them.

Qiao Wan was extremely shocked.

Before her hand could even touch the phone, Pei Hansheng grabbed it again.

"Pei Hansheng, let me go! Open your eyes and see the true face of the pure and innocent white moonlight in your heart."

Pei Hansheng didn't care at all about what Qiao Wan said, didn't even glance at his phone, and even found the air here extremely dirty.

He picked Qiao Wan up by the waist, carried her on his shoulder, and walked towards the office the winery had prepared for him.

"You're becoming more and more disobedient, Qiao Wan. I haven't settled the score with that man yet. You'd better stay here and not ruin my ribbon-cutting ceremony with Chunzhi."

Pei Hansheng pounced on Qiao Wan and pinned her face down on the sofa. He pinched her cheek and kissed her fiercely. He remembered that Yi Yanzhi had also touched this spot, so he stopped and rubbed her chin with so much force that he could rub off a layer of skin.

"Go inside and wash yourself thoroughly. I'll have someone bring you clothes, then you can come find me."

He stood up, straightened his expensive suit, and exuded an air of aloofness and superiority.

Qiao Wan was exhausted and lay panting on the sofa. Outside, Jiang Chunzhi knocked urgently on the door: "Hansheng, Boss An wants us to go downstairs."

Pei Hansheng glanced at Qiao Wan quickly, stepped out, and locked the door behind him.

Qiao Wan's tears spilled from the corners of her eyes. She couldn't tell if it was sadness or disappointment, only exhaustion, both physically and mentally.

She took out her phone and dialed a number: "Sister Leyi, I want to go to New Zealand again."

An Leyi, phone tucked between her shoulder and ear, couldn't contain her excitement: "When do you want to go? I'm busy with President Pei at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Do you know how much he paid to acquire the winery? Ten billion! It would take me twenty years of selling wine to earn that much."

Qiao Wan was somewhat dazed. Pei Hansheng had invested in many wineries abroad and knew the industry best. Leyi Winery had unlimited potential, but it was clearly priced far above market value.

Isn't it all just to win Jiang Chunzhi's favor? There will be plenty of opportunities to get revenge and toy with her later.

She propped herself up and sat up: "Sister Leyi, could you ask someone to open the door for me? I need to go to the airport right now."

"Okay, no problem."

An Leyi quickly instructed someone to open the door for Qiao Wan. Taking advantage of the commotion outside, Qiao Wan left without notifying anyone, grabbing her passport and taking a taxi.
