After Ye Chen exposed Tong Xingtong's scheme, the viciously beautiful woman seemed to beat a retreat, not appearing for several days in a row.
This woman would not easily give up; she was likely nursing her wounds, meticulously planning her next move. Once she reappeared, she might well deal Ye Chen a severe blow and gain the upper hand.
Constantly contending with Tong Xingtong, Ye Chen had also glimpsed her personality: she wouldn't stop until she achieved her goal.
Seven days went by without anyone coming to visit Ye Chen. It was as if he had been forgotten when, just as Ye Chen was faintly feeling hungry, the door to the basement was finally pushed open.
The person who came was neither Chu Yanran nor Tong Xingtong, but an elderly lady with white hair.
This elderly woman was Chu Yanran's mother-in-law, Jiang Guirong, whom Ye Chen had saved twice.
