Jiang Tong smiled. She picked up the upside-down clean teacup and straightened it. Then, she picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea.
The middle-aged man walked back and stood in front of Jiang Tong. He stared straight at Jiang Tong. Because Jiang Tong didn’t look at him, he looked at Jiang Tong with fear and killing intent.
“Sit. Why are you standing?” Jiang Tong lifted her teacup and said with a smile.
“Who are you?” The middle-aged man’s face darkened. He pulled a chair and sat down. He suddenly became more imposing.
“Jiang Tong. You may not have heard of me before, Boss Yao,” Jiang Tong said with a smile.
The middle-aged man frowned. He seemed to have heard of the name Jiang Tong somewhere, but he couldn’t remember it at once. “Where is Bai Guanjie? How much did he give you? What do you want?” The more he asked, the more anxious his tone became. That incident had caused him to have nightmares for too many years. Moreover, the severity of that incident was enough for him to be sentenced to death!
“What’s the rush? You’ve been waiting for me for so long. There’s no need to rush.” Jiang Tong smiled faintly. She held the teacup and gestured for him to drink. Then, she smiled and said, “Drink your tea first.”
The middle-aged man’s face darkened. He could feel that Jiang Tong was manipulating him the moment she appeared. He looked at Jiang Tong and said in a low voice, “I’m warning you. Don’t think that you can threaten me just because you know about my matters! I’m not a pushover. I advise you to think clearly! If you force me, I’ll kill you!” His eyes were fierce, but after saying these words, his tone softened a little. He continued, “But don’t worry. As long as you’ll be more obedient, not only will I not touch you, but I’ll also give you a sum of money, a sum that you’ll never be able to finish spending in your entire life.”
The middle-aged man’s behavior was threatening and tempting, but he used it ordinarily. The smile on Jiang Tong’s face faded a little. She reached into her pocket and took out her phone. She placed it on the table and smiled at the middle-aged man. She asked, “What did you just say? Can you say it again?”
When the middle-aged man saw the phone that Jiang Tong took out, his expression immediately changed because Jiang Tong’s phone was in the middle of a call! To deal with people with different temperaments, one had to use different methods and preparations. However, Jiang Tong kept the phone call going, but it wasn’t specially prepared for this middle-aged man. The person on the other side of the line was Xie Wenkai, and Jiang Tong had to let Xie Wenkai know the content of the conversation. Moreover, Zhou Jingyun, who was beside Xie Wenkai, would also know what was happening. The middle-aged man’s expression changed. He had threatened and enticed her. He didn’t know who Jiang Tong was talking to, nor did he know if there was a recording on the other end. If someone had evidence of such a thing, it would be fine if nothing happened to Jiang Tong. However, if something really happened to her, even if he wasn’t the one who harmed Jiang Tong, the police would investigate him based on the evidence! And he was most afraid of being investigated!
“That… we might have a little misunderstanding…” the middle-aged man looked at Jiang Tong again. He had been very fierce just now, but his tone had softened, and his attitude had softened a lot as well.
“Apologize,” Jiang Tong said to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man’s expression changed again, but he immediately squeezed out a smile as he apologized, “I… I’m sorry, I was just…”
“Your apology is so insincere,” Jiang Tong interrupted the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man’s expression changed again. After a pause, he raised his hand and gave himself a big slap. He was afraid of death, he was afraid that his past matters would be known by others, so he could only appease Jiang Tong.
Hearing the crisp slap, Jiang Tong smiled and drank a cup of tea. “Alright, let’s get down to business.”
“What does Bai Guanjie want? What do you want? How much money?” The middle-aged man’s tone was much calmer than before. As Jiang Tong had previously said on the phone, “I heard that you have earned quite a lot of money these few years.” In other words, it meant that she wanted money. Therefore, the middle-aged man felt that he was being blackmailed, but he had no choice. He had been looking for Bai Guanjie for many years, but he couldn’t find him.
“Let’s talk about the money later.” Jiang Tong looked at the middle-aged man unhurriedly and said, “In the past few years, you have given a lot of money to the victim’s family, right? It has totaled approximately hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why? Was it your guilty conscience? Have you started to try and make amends for what you have done?”
The middle-aged man’s expression changed again. He thought that Jiang Tong was sent by Bai Guanjie, so she knew what happened in the past. But now, it seemed that Jiang Tong not only knew what happened in the past but also knew what he had done in the past few years.
“Actually, you shouldn’t have done that. Don’t you think it’s a mistake for you to do that?” Jiang Tong smiled at the middle-aged man. “Once your matter is leaked, you secretly giving money is a kind of proof.”
