Chapter 1 The Unfaithful Wife

On a scorching summer day, a man in a tank top was sweating profusely. The temperature at the construction site reached an astonishing 42 degrees Celsius, causing Wang Dijun's skin to turn red from the scorching heat. His hands and neck had already peeled from sunburn. In his hazy memory, it seemed like he had experienced a great escape over twenty years ago, and since then, he had arrived in Jiangbo City. But with the passing of his grandfather, his origins had become a complete mystery. After his company was framed and bankrupted three years ago, he had come to this construction site to make ends meet by selling his labor. Over the years, he had been searching for his enemies and had even considered making a comeback. However, all the banks refused to lend him a single penny, leaving him only with endless mockery and eviction. Because of him, he ended up on the credit blacklist. After three years of exposure to the wind and sun, he had become dark and strong, shedding countless layers of skin. But for the sake of his beautiful wife and their delicate five-year-old daughter, he silently endured it all. "Ding..." Taking out his cracked screen phone, he saw his daughter's photo flashing on the caller ID. With a gentle expression, he softly asked, "What's wrong, sweetheart? Do you miss daddy?" However, the voice that came through was his daughter's slightly fearful voice, "Daddy, where are you?" Wang Dijun asked, "What's wrong, sweetheart? Did mommy spank you?" Since his company went bankrupt, Chen Liujun's temper has become increasingly irritable, often taking it out on his daughter and wife. Wang Dijun has argued with her countless times about this, but each time she would overpower him with her strong personality, and then continue to do as she pleased. But this time, his daughter's answer was like a bolt from the blue. "No, Daddy, there's a man who carried Mom into the room and they're fighting, Dou Dou is so scared. Listen, Mom is crying..." The familiar moans of his wife came through the phone, and Wang Dijun's head buzzed, leaving him dumbfounded. This wasn't a fight, it was clearly an affair! And it was happening shamelessly in their own home! In an instant, Wang Dijun's chest was filled with anger, his beliefs crumbling in an instant. He forcefully took half a day off from work, then quickly rode the tram back home. "You despicable woman, despicable woman, despicable woman!" He shouted in the wind, cursing and venting his inner turmoil. From dating to marriage, he had never mistreated Chen Liujun in the slightest over the years. Even after his bankruptcy, he still did his best to meet her material needs. But what was she doing? How could she insult him in such a way, having an affair in their home!!! At that moment, he just wanted to kill that adulterous couple with his own hands to ease his heartache. When he was only two kilometers away from home, his phone rang again. "Daddy, the house is on fire~~~" "Cough, cough, it's a big fire, Dou Dou is going to be burned to death~~~" "Daddy, please come and save Dou Dou, Daddy, Dou Dou is so scared~~~" With a bang, the phone hung up, and Wang Dijun lost all contact with his daughter. Wang Dijun ran frantically, his mind filled with his daughter's cries, constantly imagining her being burned alive in the fire. "Why, why!!!" he roared madly, speeding towards home. He had no time to think about why the house was on fire, or why Chen Liujun and her lover did not rescue their daughter. He only wanted to save his daughter as soon as possible. Back at the entrance of the residential area, he could see smoke billowing out of his window. Without hesitation, he rushed towards the stairs. "Sir, there is a fire inside, you cannot go in." Two firefighters reached out to stop him, holding him back firmly. "Let me through, my daughter is still inside, let me through!!!" He grabbed the firefighter's helmet and fire mask, rushing towards the twelfth floor where his home was located. Drenched in sweat, his legs trembling uncontrollably, he paid no heed and kicked open his door. Boom! The door burst open, flames gushing out and singeing off half of his eyebrows and hair in an instant. He put on the helmet and fire mask, striding inside. The room was filled with thick smoke, visibility extremely low. "Doudou, where are you, Doudou?" "Daddy's here to save you, please say something." However, there was no response except for the crackling sound of the fire. He searched inch by inch for his daughter's figure, completely ignoring the danger he was in himself. Not in the living room, not in the master bedroom, not in the bathroom... Wang Dijun's heart kept sinking, could it be that his daughter had already perished in the fire? His clothes had been scorched by the fire, sticking to his skin and causing severe burns, but he had no time to care about that, still diligently searching. "Daddy, daddy..." A weak voice sounded in the corner, and Wang Dijun suddenly felt like he was hearing a divine sound, rushing towards that corner. It was a huge glass fish tank, which had become his daughter's last refuge at this moment. But he was still too late, Dou Dou's half face had already been burned and charred, now looking extremely grotesque and terrifying. "Dou Dou, don't be afraid, daddy is here to save you." "It's okay, everything will be okay, don't cry, Dou Dou." Wang Dijun took off all his gear and covered his daughter with it, carrying her and running towards the door. Crack! Bang! The ceiling light suddenly fell down, and Wang Dijun felt his back being forcibly torn, almost passing out on the spot. "My daughter is not out of danger yet, I can't collapse!" He forced himself to keep going, running downstairs in one breath, shouting to the crowd outside, "Call an ambulance, quickly!!!" On the outer edge of the crowd, a stunningly beautiful woman was in a panic, whispering to the man next to her, "What should we do? They're not dead." The man sneered and said, "What are you afraid of, whether they die or not, it's all good, just wait to count the money." These two people, aren't they Chen Liujun and his lover? Emperor Wang ran out of the community with his daughter in his arms. Just as he stepped out of the door, a speeding car came whizzing by. Bang! After a loud noise, Emperor Wang and Dou Dou were directly hit and flew into the air, falling to the ground like sandbags. Chen Liujun watched from afar, feeling exhilarated. "Please, please save my daughter..." Emperor Wang weakly cried out, his eyes fixed on his daughter's direction. Suddenly, two slender legs appeared in his field of vision, and he immediately passed out.
