Shi Mei looked at him deeply, remained silent for a while, then said, "That woman won’t die anytime soon. You can’t be so stubborn. I need your cooperation to get you out."
At this, Netherworld God felt a surge of shock and suspicion, "Who are you? Why do you want to save me?"
"I’m also a fan of Tang Wu. You might know me; I am Senior Sister."
Netherworld God widened his eyes.
Everyone said that Senior Sister was disfigured, and thus she often wore a mask. But the girl before him was vibrant and fresh-looking; the skin on her face was smooth and tender, nowhere resembling that of someone disfigured.
Ignoring his scrutinizing gaze, Shi Mei spoke softly, "What you did was indeed gratifying to many, and many are applauding you. However, if you fall here because of this act, there will be no one like you to punish others who wrongful under Tang Wu’s name in the future. Therefore, you must get out."
Netherworld God felt a thrill of pleasure at her words, but he was also afraid.
He had thought that scaring Bai Yuejie and being detained for a few days would be the extent of it.
But hearing the possibility of a death penalty, the first instinct of anyone is fear.
He wasn’t foolish enough to end up dying alongside Bai Yuejie for the sake of this woman who wasn’t worth it.
Looking at the Senior Sister before him, Netherworld God subconsciously asked, "Getting me out would cost quite a bit of money, right?"
"You just need to cooperate, show some remorse, and we’ll talk about getting you out first."
Netherworld God felt aggrieved inside; he hadn’t done anything wrong, so why should he admit any?
Seeing his expression, Shi Mei guessed his thoughts and spoke sternly, "Don’t think about doing anything foolish. Have you thought about the Bai family’s background? For them, killing you would be as easy as crushing an ant."
Netherworld God was indeed frightened, considering Bai Yuejie’s influential background, he couldn’t deny feeling scared.
It was obvious that retrieving someone from the Bai family wouldn’t be easy. Why would Senior Sister help him?
Just because they were both fans of Tang Wu?
Netherworld God felt that reasoning was far too contrived.
If he put himself in her shoes, he would feel satisfied, but he certainly wouldn’t wade into such troubled waters for someone who was courting death.
Before he could clear his thoughts, he saw her turning to leave. She said, "I will contact a lawyer to help you. Think well these next few days about how you’ll explain everything."
It was quite rare for Ye Tiao to coax Tang Jingming to come and find Shi Lingyan.
She was standing in front of Shi Lingyan’s desk, her face full of ingratiating smiles.
Shi Lingyan pretended not to see it, keeping his head down as he continued working.
Ye Tiao wrung her hands, pondered her words, then said, "Yo, Brother Shi, did you get a haircut recently? Looking even more handsome!"
Seeing no response from him, Ye Tiao coughed lightly, "Um, did you know that Bai Yuejie was splashed with dog blood in public yesterday?"
Shi Lingyan responded indifferently.
"And, you know that Bai Yuejie is no longer in danger, right?"
"Now I do," Shi Lingyan closed a document and finally looked up, "What is it?"
Ye Tiao cleared her throat, "Actually... the person who splashed the blood is a fan of Tang Wu, won’t you...get him out?"
Ye Tiao felt uneasy and glanced anxiously towards Tang Jingming, saying, "You speak!"
Tang Jingming looked innocent, "What can I say? You dragged me out of bed before I was awake, and I’m still confused..."
Shi Lingyan cast a passive glance.
Just as Ye Tiao was panicking, the indifferent voice in front of her said, "Let her come and ask me herself."
Wan Lili: Will she come? If she does, hehehe~~
