Chapter 52: Threats, Seduction
Because Shen Xiaoxiao’s back was facing Yan Kuan, Yan Kuan could not see the shape of Shen Xiaoxiao’s mouth at all.
There was some distance between them to begin with, and he was not like Shen Xiaoxiao who had sensitive hearing, where she could hear even the slightest sound clearly.
However, he could see Shen Xiaoxiao’s actions clearly. At least this little thing knew her limits and did not touch that white finger of hers to that old man. Otherwise, he would cut off the flesh on the man’s body. Hmph.
Moreover, why did he find the way the little thing talked to the man so eye-catching? She really looked extremely unhappy.
“Vivian, come here.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned when she heard the voice behind her. Was he angry? This realization shocked Shen Xiaoxiao herself.
She could actually hear that he was angry from his calm tone? Was it because he called her ‘Vivian’ or something else?
Anyway, even she herself could not understand why she could hear a hint of anger in his tone?
However, it was not easy to see Qian Weitang. Moreover, she found that her probing was not ineffective. She did not want to give up just like that.
So be it if he was angry. She still needed some time. Perhaps she could get an unexpected effect.
Shen Xiaoxiao turned her head and glanced at Yan Kuan. It was a very simple glance. That glance had an inexplicable meaning. However, Yan Kuan miraculously saw arrogance and rejection from within.
Yan Kuan touched his chin. This was the first time this little thing had looked at him like this. It seemed that she really cared about this ‘father killer’.
Yan Kuan retracted his gaze and looked at the card in his hand. He said to Devon, “It’s your turn.”
They had originally thought that the show would begin, but both Devon and Bill were surprised by Yan Kuan’s reaction.
In their memories, no one had ever been able to reject Yan Kuan’s orders, including them. Every time they fought, even if they were unwilling, they would still be led by the nose by Yan Kuan.
But now, this Yan Kuan actually compromised like this. It seemed that the status of the Little Oriental Loli in his heart was really not low.
Not low was good. The evil smile on Devon’s face became more and more prominent. He thought so highly of this Little Loli. He wondered what kind of expression Yan Kuan would have when he saw the Little Loli sleeping under him? He was really looking forward to it.
Qian Weitang was already shocked when he heard Shen Xiaoxiao’s words. What did she say? What did this woman say? She said ‘the ledger’?
How did she know about the ledger? How? In this world, other than himself, only his father-in-law, Pei Dongguo, knew about the existence of the ledger.
When he ran away, they had agreed to take care of his wife and son, and to ensure that they would be safe for the rest of their lives. Otherwise, he would definitely expose the ledger to the public.
Not to mention his own grandson and daughter, he had already seen what the Pei family had done. In order to protect himself, his own wife had been personally ordered by her father to have a car accident.
How could he not have any backup plans for such a ruthless person? His poor wife had actually been turned into a vegetable by her biological father. Now, she was still lying in the sanatorium, and it was unknown whether she was still alive or dead.
Fortunately, the child was born with some handicaps. Otherwise, even the child would have been removed by the Pei family.
But now, no one knew about the ledger. How did this woman know about it? Or was she trying to trick him?
But it was impossible. What was so difficult to trick? He didn’t believe that she would use this matter to trick him.
“You… What did you say? What ledger?”
Shen Xiaoxiao had been carefully watching Qian Weitang’s expression change. When she heard him mention the word ‘ledger,’ his expression didn’t look good.
Now he was playing dumb with her. Fine, he wanted to play dumb, right? Then she would play with him.
She remembered that in her previous life, the matter about Qian Weitang had been brought up by Pei Li. At that time, this topic was brought up because Qian Weitang’s son, who had suffered from the sequelae of polio when he was young, came to the Pei family to ask for money.
At that time, Shen Xiaoxiao had seen it and Pei Li had explained it to her in a roundabout way. After Shen Xiaoxiao had a falling out with them, she had investigated the matter and found out everything about Qian Weitang.
It was also because she had investigated the matter before that she knew a little about it. She had also heard from that young man, Qian Weitang’s son, Qian Minglai, that his parents were extremely loving. He had a picture of his parents on his neck since he was young. His family had a necklace like that.
At that time, Shen Xiaoxiao had been extremely envious of his parents’ feelings, so she had a very deep impression of this matter.
Moreover, during the 10 years in the secret prison, she had tried her best to remember every detail, every single thing that she had experienced. She recalled it carefully so that she would not forget even the slightest bit of hatred, so she remembered it clearly.
At this moment, she could use this to test Qian Weitang.
“Where’s your necklace? Don’t you always have it with you?”
These words seemed to have stuck in Qian Weitang’s throat and made him shudder on the spot. How did she know? How did she know that the item was in his necklace?
Shen Xiaoxiao did not know that she had once again found out the location of a certain item by sheer luck.
Qian Weitang’s fear of Shen Xiaoxiao had already reached its peak. He did not want to discuss with her and wanted to retreat immediately.
This woman was too powerful. She seemed to know everything, making him inexplicably afraid.
When Shen Xiaoxiao saw that Qian Weitang was about to turn around and avoid this topic, she directly said, “Do you think your son and wife will be able to live in the country after you leave? Or do you think that the Pei family will really care about those faint feelings between father and daughter?
“As far as I know, your wife, Pei Xiang, seems to be the orphan of Pei Dongguo’s comrade-in-arms. She is not the biological child of the Pei family. If that’s the case, even if you have this ledger in your hands, it will be useless. You won’t be able to threaten others, and you won’t be able to become a bargaining chip.”
“Perhaps the people who killed you are already waiting outside the door of K-ONE. The moment you walk out… Bang! You will be blown to pieces? Or will you be shot to death by random guns?”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s words could be described as vicious. Moreover, they were like a bomb, causing Qian Weitang’s belief that he had been building up in his heart to suddenly collapse.
“You, who are you? Who are you? How do you know? How do you know all this? No one in the Pei family knows about these things! Who are you to the Pei Family?”
Qian Weitang looked at Shen Xiaoxiao in horror, wanting to know who she was.
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and continued to speak to Qian Weitang:
“Who am I? Who do you think is able to stand here? Do you really think that those idiots from the Pei family are my allies? If the Pei family had an ally like me, do you think that those people from the Pei family would easily let me stay abroad?”
Qian Weitang thought about it carefully. That’s right. This girl was with Yan Kuan. Just Yan Kuan’s strength alone was enough to make the Pei family fight to curry favor with him. How could they let such a person go abroad so easily?
Moreover, this girl’s beauty was definitely of the highest quality. If the Pei family had such a junior, they would definitely not let her go abroad.
Qian Weitang’s brain was spinning rapidly. He immediately began to think about how he should deal with this young lady in front of him. However, Shen Xiaoxiao did not give Qian Weitang any time to think. She continued to say:
“The ledger in your hands is merely a death warrant. No, it should be said that regardless of whether it is in your hands or not, you are destined to have a bad ending. From the moment you have this thing in your hands, the Pei family will definitely not let you off.”
“How do you know so clearly? Who are you exactly?”
“Who am I? Who I am is not important. You should ask… On what basis will you give the ledger to me?”
“Yes, on what basis will I give the ledger to you?”
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and moved closer to Qian Weitang. Using a voice that only the two of them could hear, she said faintly…
