Chapter 1109: Chapter 1109: Playing with Her Step by Step Chapter 1109: Chapter 1109: Playing with Her Step by Step The sharp edges of these photos cut Bai Man’s hand, and blood dripped onto the ground.

The air was tinged with a faint scent of blood, creating a sense of discomfort.

The photographs had been stained with blood, and after trying to tear them for a while, she lost her strength and slumped onto the cold floor.

But each time her gaze fell upon the photos, her chest felt as if it was being pierced with a needle, the pain was unbearable.

Restlessness and unease welled up inside her, and she crumpled the unfinished torn photos into a ball!

Shen Chi looked at her with disdain, and sneered, “They are just copies, after all.”

His message couldn’t have been clearer: tearing up the photos was useless; he had plenty more on his computer.

Bai Man looked up, her eyes red and fearful.

“How will you destroy these photos?” she struggled to keep herself calm.

“In two days, Shen Group will acquire all shares of the Bai Family company. Do you agree?” said Shen Chi indifferently.

“What use is my agreement? My dad’s the one who calls the shots!”

“You are his daughter, his only biological daughter. Whatever you say, he will agree, right?”

“You…” Bai Man clenched her teeth, admitting that Shen Chi had struck her Achilles heel.

“Of course, you can also disagree, but the price will be… somewhat dire,” Shen Chi said lightly.

Bai Man’s heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy bell. If she didn’t agree, what she would lose could be her eyes or her arms…

This man was a devil! He was capable of anything!

She had never feared a person like this before; in her heart, he was no longer the graceful young man of the past, but a Satan that invoked terror.

Had she misunderstood him that much?

“If you’ve thought it through, you can get out!” Shen Chi said without a trace of mercy.

Blood was still flowing from the palm of Bai Man’s hand; the cut was painful, but at that moment, she felt nothing, completely numb.

The emotional blow Shen Chi had delivered was much more painful than the physical injury.

Her legs were weak, and after struggling for a while, she managed to prop herself up from the ground and unsteadily stood up.

She bit her lips tightly, silent.

Picking up the dropped documents from the ground, she leaned against the wall, feeble, and step by step left Shen Chi’s office.

She didn’t have the strength to argue with Shen Chi any longer; the fact that he hadn’t killed her on the spot was already merciful.

She dragged her heavy body slowly toward the elevator.

Lawyer Chen was still outside. Upon seeing Bai Man, his face showed no emotion; he simply turned his head away.

He sighed. The documents signed by Bai Man were full of traps, incomprehensible to anyone but a professional lawyer. But if Bai Man were to sue, she would undoubtedly lose!

It was her own fault for getting involved with President Shen; otherwise, she wouldn’t have fallen so low.

He had dealt with Shen Chi many times and knew that this man’s bottom line was not to be crossed.

Inside the office, Shen Chi immediately pressed the call button, asking his secretary to clean up the office.

His brows were tightly furrowed, a look of displeasure on his face.

He called Lawyer Chen back into his office to discuss some specific terms and legal procedures.

Having already made his move, he didn’t mind making things even tougher.

He had originally kept the Shen Family and Bai Family’s generations of friendship in mind and did not consider touching Bai Family’s company. Now he couldn’t be blamed; it was Bai Man who had crossed his unbreachable bottom line!

Having been warned repeatedly yet refusing to mend her ways, she couldn’t blame him for showing no mercy.

Bai Man stumbled out of the Shen Group building, feeling dizzy all over!

She clutched her head, leaning against the corner of the wall, looking at the blinding sun, feeling waves of nausea in her stomach.

It turned out that two hundred million US dollars really were just the tip of the iceberg. Just when she had racked her brains to gather the funds, Shen Chi delivered an even bigger blow to her.

He was just toying with her step by step, manipulating her within the palm of his hand. He must be revelling in the thrill of his vengeance!

At this moment, Bai Man thought of that child.

The child wasn’t in her hands, and she had no way to get close to him.

In Shen Chi’s heart, he had always believed that the child was dead. In Xu Chaomu’s heart, it surely was the same.

But what about Xiao Mo? He must know the truth!

Would Xiao Mo tell Xu Chaomu or Shen Chi? With his careful nature, he wouldn’t rashly disclose that.

While she was thinking, her phone rang!

“Hello!” Bai Man answered in a panic.

“Miss Bai, there’s news!” It was one of her subordinates.

“What news? Is it good or bad? Be clear.”

“I don’t know if it’s good news or bad news, but listen,” her subordinate said, “Xu Chaomu returned to Jin City, right? Then our people discovered Secretary Xiao went to Jin City yesterday afternoon. Although our people couldn’t get close, they still managed to take quite a few photos. And we found out that Xiaobao was handed over to Xu Chaomu by Xiao Mo.”

“Xiaobao is in Jin City?”

“Yes, he is there.”

“Xiao Mo’s people are watching over him secretly, aren’t they?” Bai Man couldn’t feel any joy; her people couldn’t find an opportunity to make a move, as Xiao Mo’s men were protecting Xu Chaomu almost twenty-four hours a day.

Moreover, as soon as she attempted anything, it seemed Shen Shihan was also scheming in the shadows.

“We don’t have a chance to touch Xu Chaomu, but I will send you some photos,” her subordinate said.

“Send them.”

“Okay, I will send them right away,” her subordinate complied.

“Right, what’s my dad been busy with recently?”

“Mr. Bai is on a business trip abroad,” her subordinate replied, puzzled by why Bai Man was suddenly asking about this, “He might not be back for several days. Do you miss Mr. Bai?”

A wave of desolation swept through Bai Man’s heart. She truly feared that by the time her father returned, the entire Bai Family would be in chaos.

The thought that her father’s business empire might be destroyed by her own hands filled her with unbearable resentment!

But, she was also afraid of dying, even more afraid of spending the rest of her life crippled.

What should she do? Should she tell her dad and ask for his advice…

In terms of business competition, she had no clue, but Bai Xuan was different; Bai Xuan was an old hand at business!

“Miss Bai, Miss Bai!” Her subordinate, hearing no response from Bai Man, called out a couple more times.

“Nothing else,” Bai Man responded absentmindedly.

After that, she hung up the phone.

Her mind was in turmoil at that moment, as chaotic as a tangled ball of yarn.

So many crucial matters were waiting for her attention; which one should she deal with first?

Also, how would she break these things to her dad, and could her father help her?

If he couldn’t help her, did that mean their Bai Family’s enterprises would henceforth bear the Shen surname?

No, that couldn’t happen…

She clutched the wall, hiding in the corner, her head bowed, her eyes filled with a dark coldness.
