Chapter 245 - What's More Terrifying Than Death

Li Jianyu’s sharp gaze pierced through Xiao Liang.

His face turned pale as his forehead began to precipitate. Still, he refused to budge. “Are you doubting me? How could I do such a thing!”

Li Jianyu said coldly: “If you admit it, I won’t pursue legal action.”

He wanted to give Xiao Liang one last chance.

But Xiao Liang thought he was bluffing. It was just a short video, right? How could this possibly involve legal investigation?

Besides, he had cleared his chat history, and the bank account he used to accept the money belonged to a distant relative. To him, he had flawlessly finished the task with no trace!

“I didn’t do it! I swear! Otherwise, let me get hit by a car on the way out!” Xiao Liang cursed.

Several members of the staff who were close to him spoke on his behalf.

“Director Li, maybe there’s a misunderstanding…”

“Xiao Liang is a pretty nice kid, he wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Li Jianyu’s face was grim. “Since you won’t take my olive branch, then don’t blame me for being merciless.”

He proceeded to show the evidence.

“The video was recorded at five o’clock this morning and was posted to the gossip forum at seven o’clock. At that time, most of the crew were still asleep. Dr. Xiang has coded a small program that captures signals of the equipment using the wireless network in the area.”

“It came from your phone.”

Xiao Liang’s expression instantly changed. He had habitually connected to the Wi-Fi; he couldn’t have imagined this could be used as proof!

Quickly, he retorted: “I, I just woke up early and played on my phone for a while! That’s it! Someone else could have sent the video!”

Li Jianyu: “How long are you going to be stubborn for! Dr. Xiang has traced the source of the video which was sent directly from your device!”

“Then, then someone else could have taken my phone and sent it from there…”

Xiao Liang’s words were full of loopholes, and the staff who had just spoken on his behalf felt a chill in their chest.

Seeing this, Xiao Liang finally caved. “So what if I did it! Why aren’t you blaming Xiang Yi for trying to seduce Shi Sui? Why are you blaming me?”

Li Jianyu was furious he wanted to vomit blood. “You think you’re in the right for infringing upon other people’s privacy?!”

“If she kept her private life private, I wouldn’t have caught the film, right?!” Xiao Liang said plausibly. “Overall, it’s her fault to begin with…”

The next second ——

A certain sis-con PhD graduate had grabbed onto his collar with one hand and glaring at him with dark eyes and murderous intent.

Xiao Liang wailed. “He’s hitting me, he’s hitting me, he’s going to kill me! Help!”

Li Jianyu was speechless. He had never seen a thief shouting to catch a thief!

Xiang Li smiled briefly. “What do you think is more terrifying than death?”

Xiao Liang felt his heart cease to beat.

“To live craving for death.” Xiang Li raised his eyebrows. “You want to try it?”

“…” Xiao Liang’s eyes dilated as fear overcame him.

He subconsciously began to look for Xiang Yi’s figure.

She was gentle and easy to talk to. As long as he pleaded with her, she would definitely forgive him…

Not far away, the calm girl continued to water her flowers with no intention of stopping. It was as if she didn’t take these things to heart.

“Mentor Xiang Yi! I was wrong, I’ve learned from my mistakes! Can I apologize to you? I’m still young and naïve, please, I am not worth your time…”

“Cheh.”

A chuckle escaped from the handsome man standing next to the girl. Shi Sui was smiling, but his peach blossom eyes were frosted with a layer of ice. There was not a hint of warmth in his words.

“You? Are you worthy of calling her name?”
