Chapter 380: 380: Conspiracy Case (8) and Cooperation with Yin Bin

Translator: 549690339

VIP Ward in the hospital.

It took Yin Qin a good while to return.

When he did return, he brought with him two police officers.

Qin Keqin noticed that Yin Qin had a gloomy expression on his face.

Yin Qin immediately noticed the change in his mother’s mood and quickly explained, “I wasn’t going to Ji Baixin, but the police were looking for him.”

“Do the police not have eyes or legs? Can they not see or move?” Qin Keqin coldly retorted.

The police officers on the side were quite embarrassed.

At that moment, he cleared his throat slightly, purposely attracting Qin Keqin’s attention.

Qin Keqin glanced at both police officers with absolutely no remorse.

Yin Qin dared not talk back to his mother.

His mother had been as volatile as a live grenade these past few days, he’s not going to provoke her into detonating!

A police officer took the initiative to speak, “We have a few questions for Luo Xiaolang, we request everyone else to step aside.”

Yin Bin and Yin Qin voluntarily prepared to leave.

Qin Keqin’s face darkened, “I am not leaving.”

The police officer looked speechlessly at Qin Keqin.

“Xiaolang is seriously ill, what if you guys agitate her and worsen her condition? I need to stay by her side.” Qin Keqin sternly refused to compromise.

The two police officers exchanged glances before finally giving in.

Both Yin Bin and Yin Qin had nothing but admiration!

Father and son waited outside the door.

Yin Qin looked at his father.

Yin Bin looked at his son.

Yin Qin suggested, “Let’s go to the rooftop for a smoke.”

Yin Bin nodded in agreement.

Both father and son then proceeded to the rooftop.

Each lit up a cigarette.

Yin Qin asked, “Aren’t you going to work these days? Don’t you always value work as the most important thing in life? I heard that when I was born, you were still at your post, how great!”

“Don’t speak nonsense about matters between your mother and me that you don’t understand!” Yin Bin’s expression soured.

He had just been provoked by a young nurse today, he didn’t want his son’s reproach now.

Yin Qin rolled his eyes.

Yin Bin sternly said, “Handle your issues properly right now. Xiaolang suffered such a big injury because of you, think about how you’ll make it up to her.”

Yin Qin took a deep drag of his cigarette.

He then said, “I plan to marry Xiaolang.”

Yin Bin’s brow furrowed, “Are you sure?”

“Yes.” Yin Qin nodded vigorously.

That day, even though he didn’t get a response from Luo Xiaolang, in his heart, he had already made a decision.

He really doesn’t like Luo Xiaolang, seriously doesn’t.

At most, he just thinks that her personality is decent, suitable for a friend.

However.

Things have reached this point.

No matter how it ends, they are already in this relationship, he has resigned himself to it.

As for Ji Baixin…

Ji Baixin was never his to begin with.

He is also learning to let go, slowly letting go.

“Think it through.” Yin Bin said, not wanting to say more.

One knows best whether they’re warm or cold.

Qin Keqin was right.

If Yin Qin doesn’t want to, nobody should force him.

Otherwise…

Otherwise, they will be walking down their path.

The two of them spent a long time smoking on the rooftop.

Suddenly, Yin Qin asked, “Dad, are you really trying to win mom back?”

Yin Bin extinguished his cigarette butt, remaining silent.

“Stop being stubborn.” Yin Qin reminded, “Mom truly has no feelings for you, don’t think she’s playing hard to get and purposely acting aloof. If you really like her, be more proactive.”

“I don’t need you to interfere in my business.” Yin Bin coldly refused.

“Look at you, always putting on a show of being the head of the family, that’s why you’ve been lonely all your life.” Yin Qin remarked speechlessly.

Yin Bin’s expression became somewhat unpleasant.

“Whatever, I was just reminding you, how you act is beyond anyone else’s control.” Yin Qin also extinguished his cigarette, “I’m going inside, if I return home late, mom will be upset again.”

And so, Yin Qin left as he said that.

Yin Bin watched his son’s retreating figure.

He wasn’t in a hurry to return.

He was wondering about being proactive… how exactly should he be proactive?!

How should he initiate, in order to catch the attention of Qin Keqin, this iron-hearted woman.

Outside the ward.

Yin Qin waited a while before the police officers exited the ward.

They left after saying a few words to Yin Qin.

Yin Qin entered the room.

At that moment, Luo Xiaolang was seated on the hospital bed, raised to an angle, and was consuming a bowl of blackfish soup slowly.

Qin Keqin was accompanying her the entire time.

Yin Qin obediently sat on the side, not wanting to provoke anyone.

Luo Xiaolang had eaten about half the bowl.

She furrowed her brow.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Keqin was very tender and gentle towards Luo Xiaolang.

Which was completely different from her treatment of him.

She could flawlessly change her face to suit the situation.

“My chest feels uncomfortable.” Luo Xiaolang replied, “It hurts a bit.”

Qin Keqin was very particular about privacy. Even though they were the only two people there, she still pulled the curtains over.

Qin Keqin gave Luo Xiaolang a quick check and said, “I’ll have a nurse come and check on you.”

“Okay.” Luo Xiaolang nodded.

Qin Keqin buttoned up Luo Xiaolang’s clothes, drew back the curtains, and quickly bounded off.

Just as Qin Keqin left, the nurse arrived.

She had probably missed her.

The nurse checked on Luo Xiaolang’s condition as well.

She looked around and noticed Yin Qin sitting on a sofa on one side.

“Could you come over?” the nurse called to him.

Yin Qin was dumbfounded but still went over.

… This part is not written.

Yin Qin came out.

Qin Keqin and the nurse went in.

Yin Qin was looking at the pink curtain in front of him.

Damn it!

What exactly was he feeling awkward about?

As he was a little at a loss, his phone suddenly rang.

He really hadn’t had any interest in looking at his phone these days. When he did have the time, he’d rather take a nap or go see his son.

He checked the incoming call and hurriedly answered it.

Ji Baijian, who had disappeared for several days, finally showed up.

“Yin Qin, where are you?”

“At the hospital. Xiaolang was born prematurely,” Yin Qin answered.

“How is the situation?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Basically stable now, just my son…” Yin Qin wanted to say something but hesitated and then said, “Never mind, let’s talk about it when we meet. Did you need something from me?”

“Is your father there?”

“You’re looking for my dad?” Yin Qin was a bit surprised.

“Yes, you should focus on caring for Xiaolang right now. For other matters, I can ask your father,” he said.

“What’s going on?” Yin Qin couldn’t comprehend, “Are you and my dad in cahoots?”

Ji Baijian was speechless, “Anyway, I’d like to meet with your father. Can you arrange it for me? As quick as possible.”

“Are you sure you want my dad and not me?” Yin Qin was a bit hurt for no apparent reason.

He had the feeling that he was no longer needed by Ji Baijian.

“Sure.” Ji Baijian was quite affirmative.

Fine then.

He was a bit disappointed though.

He replied, “My father is also in the hospital. I am going to find him now, will update you later.”

“Ok.”

After hanging up the phone, Yin Qin left the ward to find his father.

Yin Bin appeared at the door of the ward just then.

Yin Qin said, “Ji Baijian wants to see you. He asked if you are free?”

“Ji Baijian?” Yin Bin frowned.

“I guess it’s something important.”

“Give me his number.” Yin Bin was direct.

Yin Qin passed his father the number.

Yin Bin dialed the number as he left the ward, “Ji Baijian, this is Yin Qin’s father.”

“Uncle Yin, I chose to contact you through Yin Qin in order to gain your absolute trust. There’s something I hope you can assist me with,” Ji Baijian said respectfully.

“Go ahead.”

“If you’re available, I’d like to meet with you face-to-face,” he said.

“There is a Yilan Cafe around the Jin City Central Hospital. I’ll wait for you there,” Ji Baijian said.

“Alright,” Yin Bin agreed.

He hangs up the phone.

Ji Baijian drives directly to his destination.

He had just returned to Jin City.

In fact, he should have come back three days ago when Song Zhizhi was detained, but he was delayed because he had not finished handling his affairs.

When he arrives at Yilan Cafe, Yin Bin is already waiting for him at a table by the side.

He walks over and respectfully says, “Uncle Yin.”

“Sit.” Yin Bin beckons.

Ji Baijian sits opposite him and frankly says, “Originally, I planned to have Yin Qin help me with many things, but Yin Qin has had a lot of things happening recently. So, I didn’t want to bother him.”

“Hmm.” Yin Bin nods, saying, “Just directly express any matter that you need me for. Your father and I are old acquaintances, and you and Yin Qin are practically best buddies since you grew up together. Even if we haven’t had much interaction, anywhere that Uncle Yin can help you, I will certainly do my best.”

“Thank you, Uncle Yin.” Ji Baijian thanks him, not beating about the bush, “The matter of Song Zhizhi’s detention, I believe Uncle Yin should already know about it.”

“I’ve seen the news.”

“Clearly, Song Zhizhi has been wrongly accused.”

“Hmm.” Yin Bin did not express any doubts.

“Currently, the evidence I can find is minimal and not substantial enough to clear Song Zhizhi’s name. However, since it is wrongful accusation, the truth will eventually come out, it is simply a matter of time. During this period, I hope that Uncle Yin can accompany me in putting on a play.”

“Hmm?” Yin Bin raises his eyebrows.

He thought that Ji Baijian was asking him to help investigate Song Zhizhi’s case, or perhaps to leverage his media influence to expose the situation.

Even though Ji Baijian and Yin Qin are close friends, Ji Baijian has always been distant in personal relationships since he was a child, and he also dislikes actively interacting with naive boys. Hence, despite being his son’s best friend, Yin Bin does not know Ji Baijian well. At this moment, he even feels that he can’t fathom Ji Baijian’s maturity and thoughtfulness, which is a complete contrast to his son.

His son is someone who wears their heart on his sleeve, while Ji Baijian hides his feelings very deeply.

“Regarding the accident that Luo Xiaolang was involved in, does Uncle Yin know about it?”

“Not very clear,” Yin Bin admits frankly, “Yin Qin has been emotional these past few days, and we didn’t want to make things difficult for him, so we didn’t ask much.”

“Then let me tell Uncle Yin,” Ji Baijian says, “Ji Baixin was kidnapped, and the ransom demand was one hundred million. Yin Qin pledged your shares to gather the money to save Ji Baixin without telling anyone. But the kidnappers requested that Luo Xiaolang go for the exchange, probably thinking that Luo Xiaolang is pregnant and unable to fight. Little did they know, Luo Xiaolang grew up in Wulin Temple and has remarkable combat power. Even while pregnant, she single-handedly overpowered five kidnappers, rescued Baixin. I won’t elaborate on what injuries Baixin and Luo Xiaolang sustained as you probably know better than me. I only want to share that this kidnapping case is not simple.”

Yin Bin frowns.

He starts to suspect.

Ji Baijian continues, “The purpose of this kidnapping incident was to seize the five percent of the stakes in your hands.”

Yin Bin’s expression changes immediately.

Ji Baijian doesn’t pause, “Under Uncle Yin’s control, the Yin He Consortium holds fifty-four percent of the shares. Without those five percent of the shares, Uncle Yin will lose the absolute ownership of the Yin He Consortium. If someone with ulterior motives takes over the fifty-one percent shares, even as the largest shareholder, Uncle Yin will no longer be able to make all decisions for the Yin He Consortium.”

Yin Bin’s face darkens even more.

“I am confident that with Uncle Yin’s ability, it should be easy to recover your losses and regain absolute control. But during this period, I hope that Uncle Yin will not act recklessly. Instead, go along with the enemies’ plan and let them control Yin He Consortium. Because I need to find evidence of their crimes without alerting them.”

“In the end, who is doing this?” Yin Bin gets straight to the point.

Ji Baijian looks at Yin Bin and declares candidly, “The steersman of Commercial Management, Ye Wenhan, and Qian Guanshu.”

Yin Bin is taken aback.

The relationship between Commercial Management and the Consortium has always been very intricate. The Consortium supports the entire market economy of Yanshang Country, while Commercial Management oversees the country’s economic and financial powers. They exist in a codependent relationship, with Commercial Management never interfering in the operation of the actual consortiums. The sudden attack on their Yin He Consortium leaves Yin Bin with a darker expression.

“And the one who executed this is your nephew, Weng Cheng.”

Yin Bin grows increasingly agitated.

Ji Baijian says, “Weng Cheng has always had a strong desire for Yin He Consortium. He once tried to get you to pass the inheritance rights directly to him through Yin Qin’s lack of achievements. But when he realized that you were still intending to give everything you own to Yin Qin, he decided to use other methods. Lin Ximeng, your first love, was brought back by Weng Cheng and your sister to entice you in an attempt to disrupt your family. Obviously, it failed. So when Ye Wenhan approached Weng Cheng for a collaboration, Weng Cheng agreed without hesitation.”

“Why did Ye Wenhan seek to cooperate with Weng Cheng?” Yin Bin can’t figure it out.

“To control the public opinion of Yanshang Country. In essence, all the painstaking means that Ye Wenhan resorts to aim to suppress Song Shan and eliminate both me and Song Zhizhi. As someone in the news business, Uncle Yin should be clear about the current situation in Yanshang Country. Though Ye Wenhan has been holding power in Commercial Management, the official family has started to covet Commercial Management. Song Shan’s previous achievements were simply a plot by the official family aimed at causing internal strife within Commercial Management. Even though Ye Wenhan was aware of the official family’s intentions, he had no choice but to suppress Song Shan first in order to ensure his absolute position in Commercial Management. The primary task in suppressing Song Shan is to reduce his abilities, and Song Zhizhi’s performance in Commercial Management threatened Ye Wenhan. So, he decided to eliminate Song Zhizhi first, thus arranging this plot to frame Song Zhizhi for damaging the interests of Yanshang Country.”

“In the meantime, because of Yin Qin’s incident, the public opinion once defaced Ye Wenhan. So, they must gain control of public opinion, hence they found Weng Cheng, a puppet, to do their bidding. But I currently lack evidence to accuse them; this morning, all five kidnappers involved in Baixin’s abduction died due to severe injuries, severing all the clues I had to investigate further. So, I need Uncle Yin’s assistance in this matter.”

“What do you want me to do?” Yin Bin asks.

“Finding evidence of Weng Cheng’s crime is not difficult. The kidnapping case was indeed his doing, and there are bound to be traces that can be discovered. So, Uncle Yin can easily regain control over Yin He Consortium. However, I hope during this period, Uncle Yin can go along with Weng Cheng’s plan. The reason is simple, once Uncle Yin regains control over Yin He Consortium, Ye Wenhan and Weng Cheng would no longer be engaged in conspicuous actions, and I would not be able to find evidence of Ye Wenhan’s crimes through Weng Cheng.”

“What you are saying is, I should let Weng Cheng control Yin He Consortium during this period?”

“Yes.” Ji Baijian nodded.

Yin Bin was somewhat hesitant.

After all, he didn’t want Weng Cheng to do whatever he wanted with such a large enterprise, he was also afraid that if anything went wrong, the Milky Way consortium would suffer substantial losses due to Weng Cheng’s management.

But at that moment.

He accepted his proposal.

He said, “Alright, I agree with you.”

Just because it’s better to cooperate with Ji Baijian than to be antagonists.

Since Ji Baijian was so knowledgeable about internal matters, it was clear he was not an ordinary person. At this very moment, he himself stood blacklisted by Commercial Management, as Ye Wenhan had already started to deal with him. Even if he regained control of the Milky Way, he would have made countless enemies! He was just a single consortium without the support of Commercial Management, and didn’t believe he could sustain the secure growth of the Milky Way. Therefore, he had to join a. side.

It was clear that the internal conflict in commercial management intensified, creating power struggles between Ye Wenhan and Song Shan.

Naturally, he chose to align with Song Shan.

Because he had no other choice.

Ye Wenhan had already ousted him. Of course, considering Ji Baijian and Yin Qin’s relationship, even if Ye Wenhan found reasons to reach out to him, he would hardly side with Ye Wenhan.

In conclusion.

He agreed to Ji Baijian’s demand.

All things considered, he really had no choice but to agree.

Even though Ji Baijian had courteously asked him for help, he couldn’t refuse in reality.

Ji Baijian, after a thorough analysis of the inside-out situation, had made it clear to him that it wasn’t about whom he should help, but the crisis he was facing now.

This man.

Despite being of the same age as his son, possessed extensive insight and deep strategical understanding.

He seethed in anger when he thought of his unaccomplished son who, just like a child, would burst into tears at every setback.

“Thank you, Uncle Yin.” Ji Baijian thanked him. At that moment, he continued, “Since I chose to ask Uncle Yin for help, I hope this matter will be undisclosed, not even to Yin Qin. I don’t distrust Yin Qin. But it’s all an act, which will be more convincingly genuine if fewer people are involved.”

“Alright.” Yin Bin nodded.

At that moment, Yin Bin felt that it was not only because of the accident of Yin Qin that Ji Baijian had sought his collaboration, but that Yin Bin was the person Ji Baijian had always intended to approach.

“Uncle Yin.” Ji Baijian continued, “I know Uncle Yin is still young and can manage the Milky Way for another twenty or thirty years. But eventually, Yin Qin needs to inherit Uncle Yin’s business. I have reminded Yin Qin many times to make an effort to learn and take over the Milky Way, but Yin Qin, who’s naturally lazy, finds it difficult to really discipline himself to work hard. So, I hope you can seize this opportunity to convince Yin Qin from the bottom of his heart to take over the Milky Way and cultivate his ability to do so.”

“Yes, I intended to do so,” said Yin Bin. “It’s my fault for being too indulgent with him previously. To put it simply, it’s my neglect since his childhood that led to his current personality. When I realized the situation, Yin Qin had already grown up and formed his own character. I don’t force him to take his job seriously, because I don’t want to make him resent me more. I want to make up for my past neglect, so I let him play for a few more years. However, you are right in pointing out that Yin Qin is not young anymore. In comparison to your abilities, Yin Qin would hardly stand a chance! I can’t let him keep playing due to my personal guilt. One day I will inevitably become old.”

“You’re right, Uncle Yin,” Ji Baijian agreed wholeheartedly.

“I have a basic understanding of what you have told me today. Rest assured, if I promise to help you, I will help you. You go ahead and do what you have to do, and I will do my utmost to assist you wherever necessary.”

“Thank you, Uncle Yin.” Ji Baijian thanked him again.

The two men didn’t say much else. After the discussion, they left the coffee shop.

Ji Baijian returned to his car.

He drove directly to the detention center.

He needed to see Song Zhizhi to relay some information to her.

He parked the car at the destination and followed proper procedures to see Song Zhizhi.

The two of them sat facing each other under the surveillance of the prison guards.

They were just looking at each other.

Even though they had been separated for not a very long time, the current situation gave them a feeling of countless years of separation.

Ji Baijian said, “Madam.”

“Hmm.”

“I inquired, and as expected, you can’t be released on bail. The reason being, Yanshang Country lost as much as 50 billion because of you, causing a very negative impact on Yanshang Country internationally and a huge loss to Yanshang Country’s economic reputation. According to Yanshang Country’s regulations, any case that threatens national interests cannot be granted bail!”

“I know, my lawyer told me.” Song Zhizhi nodded.

She seemed very calm.

It’s because he believed that Ji Baijian would definitely help her win this lawsuit.

Not just winning the lawsuit, but also… an eye for an eye!

“The judicial institution has not yet determined when your trial will be, but the prosecution has all the witnesses and evidence ready, so they should pick a date soon.”

“How is your side doing?”

Ji Baijian shook his head.

Song Zhizhi’s throat moved slightly.

Ji Baijian said, “I’ll try to reduce your sentence.”

“Hmm,” Song Zhizhi nodded.

The two looked at each other.

Looking in silence.

The prison guards were always watching them, and they couldn’t talk about anything.

They could only communicate with their eyes.

Since this case was initially controlled by someone, the time the two met was not long, less than 20 minutes, and Ji Baijian was forcibly made to leave by the staff.

Ji Baijian looked at Song Zhizhi’s retreating figure.

Seeing her being escorted away like this, he was always enduring something deep inside.

But he could keep his composure.

He left the detention center.

Just as he was about to drive away, he suddenly saw Ye Wenhan appear here.

Ji Baijian paused, not getting into his car.

Ye Wenhan got out of his car and walked straight towards Ji Baijian.

“Here to see Song Zhizhi?” Ye Wenhan asked.

Ji Baijian’s eyes tightened.

The moment he appeared, Ye Wenhan was right behind him. Obviously, there was a mole for Ye Wenhan inside the detention center.

Therefore, there was no possibility for him and Song Zhizhi to communicate in such an environment. The time Song Zhizhi was detained was urgent, and many pieces of information were not fully communicated.

He said, “Yes, is Mr. Ye here for the same reason?”

“Of course,” Ye Wenhan said, “After all, Song Zhizhi and I once had feelings for each other, it’s not unreasonable for me to come and visit her.”

Ji Baijian’s face changed slightly.

“I heard you went out of town these days? How was it? Any gains?” Ye Wenhan asked deliberately.

“What do you think, Mr. Ye?”

“Don’t play coy, I know your current situation very well. Song Zhizhi is definitely sentenced this time. A year and a half in prison for instigating others to commit violent demolition is enough, but causing a huge economic and reputational loss to the state – what do you think, ten years or twenty years?!” Ye Wenhan seemed especially smug.

Ji Baijian moved a little closer to Ye Wenhan.

Ye Wenhan was startled and hurriedly stepped back.

His reaction was clearly out of fear of Ji Baijian.

Indeed, Ye Wenhan was wary of Ji Baijian—he could still remember how Ji Baijian drove them into a corner in Jinghe Village!

He glared at Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian’s lips curled up in a smile, “What, are you scared of me?”

“Ridiculous!” Ye Wenhan straightened up.

“I just wanted to tell you…” Ji Baijian drew out his words threateningly, “Don’t celebrate too soon!”

“Humph.” Ye Wenhan sneered.

Ji Baijian didn’t bother to waste more words with Ye Wenhan. He turned around, got back into his car, and drove off.

Ye Wenhan watched as Ji Baijian’s car disappeared. He glared at the receding vehicle.

The person he hated most in the world was Song Zhizhi. Because of her, he had suffered the biggest blow in his life! And the person he couldn’t stand the most was Ji Baijian. Because of Song Zhizhi, he was often compared with Ji Baijian, and he was always suppressed by him.

“Both of them.

These two, he will make sure they don’t die peacefully!

He turned around and walked into the detention center.

One of the staff at the detention center hurriedly greeted Ye Wenhan warmly.

Ye Wenhan nodded and followed the staff member toward a meeting room in the detention center.

“What did Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi say?”

“Not much, just a few words,” the staff member hurriedly replied.

“What specifically?”

The staff member repeated what was said.

Ye Wenhan frowned.

Those were all the words they said?!

“Mr. Ye, from their conversation, it can be inferred that Ji Baijian doesn’t seem to have much confidence in this case.”

“I naturally know that,” Ye Wenhan said with a confident demeanor.

Even with great competence, Ji Baijian wouldn’t be able to find anything!

From the moment the plan was executed, his father had designed everything seamlessly!

Ji Baijian wanted to fight against his father?! It was the ravings of a madman.

“In any case, if Song Zhizhi makes any moves, inform me immediately.”

“Yes.”

“I want to see Song Zhizhi now.”

“I will arrange it for you immediately.”

Ye Wenhan nodded.

He had never enjoyed any special privileges before.

Now, because of his current position, he has access to so much!

Before, he was always called upon and exchanged by others, and now he’s finally in a lofty position!

Everything he had fought hard to gain, he absolutely would not give up so easily.

Led respectfully by the staff, he walked straight into Song Zhizhi’s cell.

As Song Zhizhi turned around, she saw Ye Wenhan.

Her face was cold.

Ye Wenhan’s brow furrowed.

He was absolutely sick of Song Zhizhi’s various rejections.

With a wave of his hand, exerting an air of dominance, he ordered, “All of you, leave.”

“Yes, Mr. Ye.”

The several staff members who had appeared with Ye Wenhan respectfully departed, closing the door behind them as they left.

In such a narrow space, only Ye Wenhan and Song Zhizhi remained.

Ye Wenhan’s contemptuous face was filled with the victor’s smile, “Did you ever think that we would meet like this one day?”

It didn’t take long for Song Zhizhi to figure out why Ye Wenhan was there.

All these years of suppression and humiliation she had inflicted on him, of course, he would come here to vent.

“What do you want to say?”

“What do I want?!” Ye Wenhan laughed coldly, his face wild with mad glee, “Do you regret it? Regret treating me the way you did back then! You chose Ji Baijian over me, such a great man! Did you really think Ji Baijian could do that much?! Now, look at you, look at what’s happened to you!”

“If you’re just here to show off, you can leave. I’m not interested in any of your gloating,” she replied.

“Still so stiff-lipped!” Ye Wenhan snapped at her.

Song Zhizhi didn’t want to exchange a single word with Ye Wenhan.

To Ye Wenhan, all he wanted now was to see her regret and remorse in order to vent all he had suffered, so why should she satisfy him!

“Song Zhizhi, if you soften your attitude now, maybe I can help you… help you not get such a long sentence! What do you think?” Ye Wenhan said with a smug expression on his face.

Song Zhizhi scoffed.

Did Ye Wenhan really think she was that stupid?!

Even if she knelt down, he would still find ways to kill her, in no way would he show her even the slightest mercy.

She said, “Thank you for your kind intentions, but unfortunately, I don’t trust you.”

“Song Zhizhi!” Ye Wenhan suddenly stepped forward, pinning Song Zhizhi’s body against the wall in front of him.

Song Zhizhi frowned.

She forcefully pushed Ye Wenhan away.

Ye Wenhan grabbed Song Zhizhi’s arm tightly and pressed her against the wall.

Song Zhizhi struggled, unable to move.

Ye Wenhan coldly stared at Song Zhizhi, he leaned in close to her and spat out viciously, “Keep resisting, will you?!”

Song Zhizhi gritted her teeth, “Ye Wenhan!”

“You can say it more gently, and maybe I’ll be gentler with you!”

Song Zhizhi glared at him.

“Song Zhizhi, do you know how much I hate you?!” Ye Wenhan lashed out, “I’ve wasted so many years faking my affections for you, and you’ve just exposed me as though it was nothing, do you know how unwilling I am to accept this?! Fortunately, I am the heir to the consortium’s leadership. Even heaven wants me to take revenge on you, doesn’t it?”

“Let me go!”

“Let you go?” Ye Wenhan looked at her cheek, witnessing her infuriation firsthand, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. His laughter twisted and sickened, “Song Zhizhi, do you know? I hate you so much, I want to slash you with a thousand cuts, but when I look upon your beautiful face, I suddenly have other thoughts!”

Song Zhizhi’s face was filled with disgust as she stared at Ye Wenhan.

“Back when we were together, didn’t I respect you and not touch you?! I respected you. I was so nice to you that even I was moved. And you, you turned your back on kindness and married Ji Baijian. Ji Baijian has done everything for you, right?” Ye Wenhan asked her.

“Ye Wenhan, let me go!”

“Let you go? I finally managed to catch you, and you want me to let you go?!” Ye Wenhan scoffed, “Shouldn’t you be a bit expectant? Back then, you seduced me many times, openly and secretly. I remember it clearly!”

“Just by breathing the same air as you right now, I feel… Uh…” Song Zhizhi’s eyes widened.

She stared hard at Ye Wenhan in front of her.

She desperately resisted.

In the end, she was unable to overcome the strength of a man.

Her body squirmed as if she were mad, rejecting him.

She bit him hard.

“Ah!” Ye Wenhan abruptly let go of Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi glared at him.

She watched as blood seeped from a wound she had inflicted on him.

The next second.

“Song Zhizhi, you actually bit me!” Ye Wenhan’s face darkened.

“Stay away from me! You disgust me!” Song Zhizhi stormed.

“Disgust?” Ye Wenhan’s face twisted savagely, “A kiss disgusts you, what about what’s coming next, will you go crazy…”

Song Zhizhi’s complexion changed substantially.

At that moment, it truly did change.

Ye Wenhan laughed coldly, “What, scared now?”

“Ye Wenhan, have you lost your mind? Do you know where you are?!” Song Zhizhi asked incredulously.

“I know! But do you think anyone will come in?! I forgot to tell you, everyone here has been bought by us. Without my permission, no one will come in. So whatever I want to do, you tell me… can I do it?”

Ye Wenhan’s eerie words echoed ominously in the confined space!
