Chapter 785: Threats
“Tell your people to withdraw. If anything happens to me, if no one hears from me for three hours, your videos will be spread all over the Internet. They include the things you said about the Yin family. You should consider whether you can afford to bear their wrath,” Jiahui said solemnly.
Guan Tang’s face paled further as she looked at Jiahui in shock and disbelief.
Jiahui said calmly, “Why are you shocked? I dealt with that person you sent to assassinate me. It’s better if you don’t ask me about his whereabouts. If anything happens, that person will become a witness in court. What do you think? Is it hard to believe? You better accept the reality. This is M City, not S City. The Yin family can control the sky in S City, but not here. Cheng Che has to go to S City to formally return to the family so how can I not set up a layer of defense to protect myself first? Right, Guan Tang?”
Guan Tang remained silent. Her brain was working overtime now, trying to think of a countermeasure.
Jiahui smiled and said, “You don’t have to think about it anymore. I have recordings of everything that you did to me back then.”
“How did you get the recordings?” Guan Tang could not help but ask.
Jiahui’s smile was especially sweet as she said, “Well, that’s not something you need to know. I already told you. This is M City. It’s my territory. You can’t beat me here.”
“Then, what do you want me to do?” Guan Tang asked tentatively.
Jiahui tilted her head slightly and said, “Guarantee Cheng Che’s and my safety in S City…”
“Are you kidding? How am I going to do that?” Guan Tang protested.
…
Jiahui reached out and patted Guan Tang’s shoulder as she said, “You can do it. Since you’re able to find people in M City to deal with me, I’m sure you’ll be able to protect me when I’m in S City.”
“I didn’t. That’s Yin Yi…” Guan Tang suddenly stopped speaking. As soon as these words came out of her mouth, she instantly regretted them.
Jiahui was very satisfied with this reaction. She said, “Both of you really have a deep sisterly relationship. In any case, I don’t care about the details. I have your weakness in my hands now. Think about it. You imprisoned me for so long. It’s impossible to do bad things without having to pay the price. Guan Tang, you’re an adult now. You don’t need me to teach you everything, do you?”
Guan Tang’s face was ashen as she stared at Jiahui.
Jiahui smiled. “I know what you’re thinking. You think that someone like me should’ve done things in an open and aboveboard manner, right? In my life, I ate it the most when people try to label me and put me in a box. There’s no rule saying good people have to be bullied by wicked people, unable to retaliate. Sometimes, you have to be wicked to deal with wicked people. I actually don’t mind being wicked. It’s quite interesting. I’m not a kind person to begin with. Guan Tang, you imprisoned me for half a month. I didn’t report it to the police, but it doesn’t mean I’m willing to let the matter go. You have to understand this.”
…
When Jiahui and Guan Tang arrived at the Yin family home together, everyone looked at them in a daze.
Cheng Che stepped forward and held Jiahui’s hand, asking her to sit next to him.
Jiahui bowed gracefully to the elders of the Yin family and said, “I came late because I had an appointment with Guan Tang.”
Everyone looked at Guan Tang.
Guan Tang tried her best to smile naturally as she said softly, “I was chatting with Jiahui and lost track of time.”
Old Master Yin said to Guan Tang, looking greatly satisfied, “You child, you’re really the most sensible person I’ve ever seen.”
Meanwhile, Yin Yi stared at Guan Tang, looking as though her eyes were going to pop out of their sockets.
Guan Tang did not look at Yin Yi and silently took a seat next to Guan Ning.
Ye Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at Guan Tang, whose eyes were slightly narrowed.
