Chapter 603: Catching the Cheaters on Scene
In the scene, we see the familiar dormitory of the Demon Cultivators.
At this moment, a crowd of spectators has gathered, mostly employees of the Demon Cultivators, along with some family members.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Chen Zhang is furiously banging and kicking at the door of Ancestral Cang, shouting angrily:
“Open the door! You two cheating scumbags!”
“You shameless dogs, open up!”
“You bastard Zhang! I may have scammed you out of a little money, but how dare you sleep with my woman? I, Chen Zhang, will not let this go!”
“Liu Ruyan! You shameless bitch, using my stuff and living off me, and still dare to sneak around behind my back! Come out, I’ll beat you to death!”
The onlookers are enjoying the drama, clearly entertained by this annual spectacle.
No matter how hard Chen Zhang kicks the door, inside there’s no response.
In the room, Liu Ruyan is curled up on the bed, crying her eyes out, even forgetting to put on proper clothes, covering herself with just a belly band.
Beside her, Ancestral Cang wears a cold smirk, evidently relishing Chen Zhang’s furious antics.
This is exactly the result he wanted.
The more frantic Chen Zhang becomes, the more satisfaction it brings to Ancestral Cang. After all, for him, the essence of torment lies in seeing his prey suffer in distress.
Chen Zhang’s current performance is the best feedback for Ancestral Cang.
Moreover, having enjoyed Liu Ruyan’s charms for quite some time, Ancestral Cang feels quite pleased. For him, it means he has already claimed Liu Ruyan as part of his possessions.
As for Chen Zhang? Ancestral Cang thinks if he doesn’t tear him apart, it’ll be considered lucky for him.
After all, he doesn’t want some insignificant bug to mess up his plans of devouring rules.
“What to do… If my husband finds out, he’ll kill me when I go back…”
“Then don’t go back,” Ancestral Cang said arrogantly, “Is that man really worth holding onto?”
With red eyes, Liu Ruyan whispered, “But… what about our child…”
Ancestral Cang frowned.
As a Primordial Deity, he actually has no interest in reproduction or human offspring. Yet, he knows humans, especially women, tend to cherish their children greatly.
“Don’t worry. If you can’t bear it, I’ll bring your child over.”
Liu Ruyan hesitated, “But really, this is my fault toward my husband.”
“At first, I was just a maid serving tea in Yanliu, he was kind and redeemed me, treating me as his lawful wife…”
She grew increasingly sad: “He was good to me, but I ended up doing this shameless thing… Wuwu, now he’ll carry the label of a cuckold for life, and our child will face ridicule from classmates. What will we do?”
Ancestral Cang’s annoyance grew, and he couldn’t help but bark, “Stop whining! If you keep being so noisy, I’ll throw you out and see if your husband beats you to death right away.”
Liu Ruyan was immediately frightened into silence, only able to sob quietly.
Outside, Chen Zhang was panting from kicking the door. He had no idea the dormitory doors were this sturdy—after all that kicking, there wasn’t even a dent.
“You two… if you have the guts, stay in there for the rest of your lives!”
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, “Hey, hey, hey, what’s going on? Who dares make trouble in the Demon Cultivators?”
Chen Zhang turned to see a somewhat lecherous old man strutting over.
“Who are you?”
“I am Cheng Da Yong, a high-ranking official of the Punishment Department.” The old man glanced arrogantly at Chen Zhang, “And you, who are you to cause a scene here?”
“Punishment Department, huh?”
Chen Zhang gritted his teeth, “Then you must know that bastard called Ancestral Cang, right? Do you know he took advantage of my imprisonment to threaten my woman and slept with her!”
Upon hearing the name Ancestral Cang, Cheng Da Yong’s eyes shifted, and he cleared his throat:
“Ahem. We have received your report. We will conduct a thorough investigation to verify the situation. If we find any employee abusing their power, the company will handle the issue according to regulations.”
“But until then, please go home and wait for news.”
Though Cheng Da Yong spoke politely, his bureaucratic and evasive manner was glaringly clear to the savvy Chen Zhang.
“Stop with the formalities! He’s currently in the act with my wife behind that door; what’s there to investigate?”
“Whoa, whoa, hold on there,” Cheng Da Yong stiffened his face. “Your wife cheating on you with a Demon Cultivator is not necessarily a case of our employee abusing their power.”
“Maybe your performance in bed was lacking, which is why your wife strayed? We have no official rule against our employees dating cheating women.”
“You…!” Chen Zhang’s face turned red with humiliation, speechless from anger.
“You either go home and wait for news, or I’ll call security,” Cheng Da Yong said with increasing rudeness.
In the end, Chen Zhang, shaking with rage, pointed at Cheng Da Yong and then at the door of Ancestral Cang’s room.
“Fine! Fine!”
“You cheating couple think just because you’re with the Demon Cultivators, you can do whatever you want?”
Chen Zhang gritted his teeth, “You two better watch out; do you really think I, Chen Zhang, can be bullied?”
With that, he spun around and stormed off.
After he left, Cheng Da Yong breathed a sigh of relief and knocked on Ancestral Cang’s door with a flattering smile: “Little Zhang, it’s okay now, he’s gone.”
After a while, the door opened, and Ancestral Cang shot Cheng Da Yong a sidelong glance, nodding with satisfaction.
“You’re quite the loyal one, protecting me.”
“Who would dare not protect you, being connected to the boss?” Cheng Da Yong muttered in his heart but smiled broadly, “Of course, we’re all from the Punishment Department; how could we let our brother be bullied?”
“However… that Chen Zhang doesn’t seem like he’ll let this go easily. If this escalates and damages the company’s reputation, the boss might blame us…”
He sneaked a glance at Ancestral Cang.
Ancestral Cang, however, looked disdainful: “Hmph. Just a mere bug, how much trouble could he really cause?”
No way would a dignified Primordial Deity deign to take a lowly mortal seriously.
Even if things blew up, with the points he’s earned in this time, he has a thousand ways to deal with him.
Seeing Ancestral Cang’s confidence, Cheng Da Yong felt reassured.
As long as he has the support of the boss, nothing to worry about. No matter how big the issue, the boss will back him up.
