Moreover, she still had an ace up her sleeve.

Although she didn’t want this secret to come out of her mouth unless she had to.

After school, Mei Shu deliberately waited for Sheng Quan along his usual route home from work.

Sheng Quan was surprised to see her, instructing his driver to wait outside for a moment. He then led Mei Shu into a soundproof meeting room.

However, shortly thereafter, a loud crashing sound echoed from inside.

The secretary, concerned, knocked on the door, asking, “Mr. Sheng, are you alright? Do you need me to call the police?”

The door to the meeting room was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and Sheng Quan’s fierce expression had not yet been put away when the secretary bumped into him head-on. She was taken aback.

“Mr. Sheng, are you okay? Do you need me to call the police?”

“Get the f*ck away!”

Sheng Quan cursed harshly. “None of your business. Tell everyone in the company to go off work!”

“But, Mr. Sheng…” The secretary still seemed concerned, and she discreetly stole a glance into the meeting room but could only see a mess.

“Get lost! Can’t you understand what I’m saying?” Sheng Quan was furious this time.

The secretary, who had been with him for many years, had never seen him this angry. She wisely decided not to say anything more and quickly retreated in her high heels.

Sheng Quan drove away everyone who was in his way and once again slammed the door with a resounding “thud.” He then turned around and glared fiercely at the young woman sitting on the sofa, drinking tea in a relaxed manner. “How did you know about this?” he asked.

“How 1 know is not important. I just want to know what I care about. Everything else has nothing to do with me,” Mei Shu replied. “Mr. Sheng, what do you think?”

Mei Shu set down the teacup, leaned back on the sofa, and lazily crossed her legs, saying, “As long as you tell me everything you saw when my mother had her accident, I will naturally keep it a secret for you. After all, revealing such an unsavory matter would not benefit me in any way.”

Sheng Quan stared at her coldly and said, “I have already told the police about what happened back then. Your mother’s car accident was due to speeding, leading to the cliff accident. What more do you want to know from me?”

“To tell you the truth, my mother was on the phone with me at the time. 1 reminded her to drive carefully because she didn’t need to rush back. So she definitely wasn’t speeding, especially on the dangerous mountain road,”

Mei Shu stated confidently. “As long as you tell the truth, our deal will be established. 1 will not only keep your secret, but I will also tell you a secret that will make Lin Wei never dare to threaten you again.”

Sheng Quan’s eyes flickered slightly, and he asked cautiously, “Young lady, you seem to have found out quite a bit. Let me ask you, did Sheng Nian have any involvement in this matter?”

Mei Shu paused for a moment, thinking about Sheng Nian, who, despite being much older than herself, seemed exceptionally naive. She shook her head and smiled helplessly. “I did try to get your daughter to cooperate because it would make my investigation much easier. Unfortunately, Miss Sheng Nian didn’t cooperate. She loves you a lot, and she believes that you love her very much.” Sheng Quan breathed a sigh of relief, but his face still didn’t look much better. “But that’s not enough. You have to tell me how you found out so much.”

“Mr. Sheng, I think you’ve misunderstood,” Mei Shu suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him intently. “I’m not here to negotiate or discuss with you. You should know that if Lin Wei has the ability to threaten you, it means she can also be my potential partner. 1 have so many cards in my hand, and it’s the same no matter who I cooperate with. I’m giving you an opportunity.”

Sheng Quan hesitated.

He finally calmed down and sat on the sofa, deeply contemplating the words Mei Shu had just said.

Mei Shu remained unhurried, continuing to analyze the pros and cons with him, “There’s one more thing, and you should be well aware of it. If you don’t cooperate with me, Lin Wei will certainly hound you. By then, Miss Sheng Nian might end up knowing everything. Once Miss Sheng Nian learns that her mother’s death was caused by the very hands of her own biological father, whom she has always deeply loved, do you think she will continue to trust you as her father, as she does now?”

Hearing this, Sheng Quan’s eyes revealed a hint of pain.

Suddenly, he deeply regretted his reckless affair with Lin Wei back then.

If he had held back and not become entangled with her, he would now have a happy and harmonious family.

But unfortunately, there was no remedy for regrets.

Sheng Nian had already lost her mother, and if he continued to be obstinate, insisting on pushing forward, their family might soon completely fall apart.

After much consideration, Sheng Quan finally nodded wearily. “Alright, I promise you. I will tell you everything I witnessed. But you also have to fulfill those two things you mentioned.”

“Okay,” Mei Shu replied. She lowered her gaze and tried to keep her emotions in check, not letting herself tremble or show weakness in front of Sheng Quan.

But she alone knew just how excited her heart was at this moment..
