âLetâs put it this way. My way of life is that I demand ten times the justice when someone wrongs me once. We still have a lot to get even between us.â Chu Wuyou raised her brows playfully as she tapped her finger lightly on the sharp blade of that fruit knife.
Her threat was unquestionably intimidating.
âChu Wuyou, are you abusing your power to bully me now?â Liu Qin felt a shiver running down her spine. She wished to run away but the shredded pieces hanging over her chest made her reconsider that decision.
âThatâs exactly correct, but what can you do about it? To be honest, I have strong backing behind me.â Chu Wuyou admitted directly that she was taking advantage of her power and influence.
Ye Lanchen who was currently staring at the security footage appeared intrigued. Who did she mean? Him? Or Tang Boqian?
They were now in Jin City thus it must be him! It had to be.
âChu Wuyou, youâre only acting so arrogantly because you have a strong backing within the company, right?â Liu Qin was jealous though she was truly terrified. She regretted her choice upon witnessing Chu Wuyouâs confidence because that could only mean that the latter indeed was supported by someone powerful within the company.
Chu Wuyou only raised her eyebrows slightly, neither agreeing nor arguing back.
Strictly speaking, she did have a strong and powerful backing within the company.
âHah, I knew it. The person must be Secretary Liu. Youâve surely slept with him, havenât you?â At this moment, Liu Qin was so frightened that she failed to argue coherently.
Over in the other room, Ye Lanchen glared murderously at Secretary Liuâs direction.
The latter trembled subconsciously under the manâs penetrating glare. âPresident, Iâm innocent...â
Why was he so unfortunate to be involved in this?
Of course, Ye Lanchen knew Secretary Liu was innocent. He was only frustrated that he was not mentioned by the woman instead.
âLiu Qin, Iâll make sure you die a horrible death if this rumor spreads.â Chu Wuyou was stunned but she quickly smoothed away the surprise with a laugh.
She and Secretary Liu?!
What would happen if Ye Lanchen heard of this?
âWhatâs the matter? Are you afraid?â Thinking that Chu Wuyouâs reaction came out of fear, this fostered Liu Qinâs pride even more.
âNot at all. Someone else will be more exasperated to learn about this than me...â Chu Wuyou laughed instinctively.
No matter what, she was still Ye Lanchenâs wife. Even if their marriage was only based on a contract, if this rumor spread, it would not hurt the married coupleâs relationship but the husbandâs pride.
âThereâs a hidden innuendo behind Third Elder Sister-in-lawâs words. Sheâs implying that Third Elder Brother will get exasperated. Will you?â Lil Seven shifted his attention to Ye Lanchen as he posed the question deliberately.
âThird Elder Brotherâs looking as if heâs going to murder someone now. What do you think?â The corners of Xi Jiâs lips twitched upon witnessing the emotions that chased across Ye Lanchenâs features. The latter sure looked intimidating.
âChu Wuyou, I donât think youâll really kill me.â Despite trembling in fear at this moment, Liu Qin reckoned Chu Wuyou dared not take her life no matter what.
âTry me if you like.â Chu Wuyou narrowed her eyes. The fruit knife in her hand flashed toward Liu Qin again as she spoke.
This time around, the knife had unmistakably struck the woman, but not on an obvious body part. She made a slight cut on the womanâs waist.
She had done so for all the women that Liu Qin had harmed before.
âAh, ah, ah.â A tiny amount of blood began oozing from the womanâs waist even if the cut was not too deep.
Liu Qin was frightened out of her wits. She was not bothered by the shredded clothes on her body anymore and screamed while running for the door.
Chu Wuyou did not stop her.
She did not want to make this into a big problem. She did not wish for Ye Lanchen to learn about this.
Things had finally come to an end. However, Chu Wuyou had no idea that another bigger problem was awaiting her.
