639 Add Troubles
With such an opportunity, not only did she not take the chance to get rid of the person she hated the most, but she wanted to clean up her reputation. What was so important about a small fry such as reputation? It wouldn’t hurt to be criticized. If he had known that this was what Shen Sisi wanted, Zhan Cangqiong felt that he would not have to go through so much trouble to deal with Shen Hanxing. In the end, his plan did not succeed, and he ended up being blamed instead.
Sensing Zhan Cangqiong’s gaze, Shen Sisi awkwardly tugged on his sleeve, afraid that he would say something that no one else should know about.
Zhan Cangqiong looked at Shen Sisi deeply with an ambiguous smile and said, “Didn’t you complain that I messed up the last time? I’ll make it up to you this time, can you cheer up then?” He usually looked like he didn’t care about anything, but when he said this, there was an inexplicable sense of indulgement.
Shen Sisi’s cheeks flushed red. Because she was in front of Shen Hanxing, she couldn’t help but feel a little proud. She pursed her lips and nodded. However, she could not resist showing off, so she looked at Shen Hanxing innocently and said, “Can Sister listen to my advice now? Miss Su and Lu Shaoyang could finally have a happy ending. Sister, are you here to make things difficult for Miss Su?”
“What status do you have to say such things?” Shen Hanxing couldn’t help but smile when she heard that. She looked at Shen Sisi coldly. “You were in such a hurry that I thought you were the one getting married.”
“I just feel that Sister’s actions are not appropriate and want to advise you. Why do you have to say such ugly words?” Shen Sisi’s eyes were red and tears were welling up. “Sister, are you going to hit me again? Like before?”
“Shen Hanxing hit you before?” Listening at the side, Zhan Cangqiong’s eyes suddenly darkened as he looked at Shen Hanxing with a frozen murderous glint in his eyes. He looked extremely dangerous, as if he was going to make a move at any moment.
“Mr. Zhan Cangqiong, haven’t you learned your lesson yet?” Ji Yan took a step forward and blocked Zhan Cangqiong’s gaze, speaking coldly. “This is S city. It’s best that you think clearly before you do anything.”
“What do you mean by that?” Zhan Cangqiong’s expression changed slightly. He understood the meaning behind Ji Yan’s words and felt a little uneasy. “What did you do?”
“I’m just giving you a taste of your own medicine.” Ji Yan said indifferently. His thin lips curled up and his black eyes were like ancient ice. “It seems that Mr. Zhan’s information is not very up-to-date.”
Alarm bells went off in Zhan Cangqiong’s heart. At that moment, his phone rang. He glanced at the name flashing on the screen and picked up the call without having the time to refute Ji Yan’s words.
“Young Master Zhan, bad news!” The flustered voice of his trusted subordinate came from the other end of the phone. “The police are here. I don’t know where they got the news from, but there’s trouble!” Before the man could finish his sentence, he heard a loud bang from the other side. It sounded like a heavy object had fallen to the ground, and then the phone call ended.
“Hello? Speak! Say something!” Zhan Cangqiong couldn’t believe it. His expression was twisted as he shouted into the phone. His eyes were red, and his hand that was clutching the phone was so tight as if he was going to crush it.
“Zhan Cangqiong, are you alright?” Seeing Zhan Cangqiong’s panicked expression, Shen Sisi also started to panic. She stepped forward and tried to calm him down. “What happened? Don’t worry, there’ll definitely be a way to solve it.”
“Get lost!” Zhan Cangqiong, who had been so tender to Shen Sisi a second ago, immediately pushed her hand away. He did not spare half a glance at Shen Sisi nor even look at her pitiful figure as she fell to the ground in pain. His eyes were red as he took a step forward, his entire body filled with murderous intent. He raised his hand and was about to grab Ji Yan’s collar. “What did you do? Huh?!” The Zhan family’s business could not see the light of day. As the country’s control system became stricter, a part of their family’s focus shifted to foreign countries. S city was their family’s most successful attempt. Jin Hai was not only a money-squandering establishment that could bring endless benefits to the family, but more importantly, people did not have their guard up in such a place full of vice. Especially when they were drunk and in bed, facing countless beautiful women, how many people could resist showing off? Many secrets would be revealed in bed. Hence, Jin Hai’s ability to gather information was extremely shocking.
On the other hand, as the future successor of the Zhan family, Zhan Cangqiong had chosen to come to S city to develop his career because he wanted to prove his ability and ambition. If Jin Hai were to fall, he could imagine his father’s furious look and the family’s opposition to him being the successor. Damn it! This Ji Yan really deserved to die!
