Chapter 73: Persuasion, Collaboration, Suspicion
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned. She did not expect Yan Kuan to say that. He had actually mentioned the ‘Ouyang family’. His eyes were filled with mystery. What exactly did he know and what was he testing?
“Don’t look at me like that. It’s very simple, but I really admire your little brain. With just Qian Weitang, you can actually find out so much. You’re quite capable.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned again. Alright, Yan Kuan’s imagination had indeed helped her a lot.
“Even if you don’t agree, I’ll take revenge myself. I won’t let go of those who harmed me.”
“Of course. I won’t stop you from taking revenge. But I remember that you said Qian Weitang was your enemy who killed your father, but Lin Jiadong is still alive and well. Moreover, I’m more curious. Who told you about Qian Weitang?
“And how did you know Qian Weitang? Including making Qian Weitang spit out those things? Your little head is really hiding too many secrets. I really want to pry it open and look at them carefully one by one. Or I can inject some medicine into you and make you come out one by one without any effort.”
This was the thing that Shen Xiaoxiao was most afraid of. This was the reason why Shen Xiaoxiao desperately wanted to escape from Yan Kuan.
She had seen it before. She had seen the methods that could make people reveal everything without any effort.
Her secret was too big. She could not. She absolutely could not reveal it.
Moreover, looking at Yan Kuan’s appearance at this moment, she felt that there was something hidden in his smile that she could not figure out. He seemed to know something, but he also seemed to not know anything. He gave people a feeling that he was too mysterious and could not be seen through.
“In the early years, I met a man in the club.”
At the mention of this, Yan Kuan’s eyes narrowed, and a dangerous aura spread out. Shen Xiaoxiao immediately reacted and hurriedly said, “It’s not what you think. He’s a white police officer. I’ve already forgotten what his name is. But the doctor in charge of treating my injuries, Derek, was his informant.”
“Through Dr. Derek, he wanted to rope me in and become his informant. He wanted to take down Devon’s underground gang in one fell swoop.”
“The white police officer told me that as long as I agreed to help, he would send me back to the country after the matter was settled.”
“What they wanted me to do was to steal Devon’s account books. However, one day, Dr. Derek died unexpectedly and lost his son.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was indeed telling the truth. There was indeed a white police officer who had contacted her back then, but it was also true that the matter was settled after Dr. Derek’s sudden death.
“If what you said is true, then what does it have to do with Qian Weitang?”
“At that time, they asked me to steal the account book. I wanted to return to China with all my heart. At that time, I really did see an account book in Devon’s office.
“I couldn’t understand what was written on it, but there was a separate Chinese account book with the words Qian Weitang written on it that I understood.”
“But later, because no one was contacting me, I didn’t continue to look for those clues. However, I remembered Qian Weitang’s name in my heart.”
“After I ran out of the jungle, I deliberately looked up everything about Qian Weitang. I didn’t expect to find that he was inextricably linked to the Lin family.”
“That’s why I’ve always wanted to know what exactly Qian Weitang has that can help me take revenge when I return to my country.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s words were without the slightest flaw because everything she said was the truth. However, there were still some things that she knew that she had investigated in her previous life, so she naturally wouldn’t reveal them.
However, it was enough to reveal this information to Yan Kuan. She believed that even if Yan Kuan went to investigate, he would definitely not be able to find anything.
Therefore, she looked at Yan Kuan fearlessly, her eyes full of sincerity.
However, would Yan Kuan be so easily dismissed? Of course not. Yan Kuan immediately asked a question, which made Shen Xiaoxiao once again realize that this man was difficult to deal with and sensitive.
“It’s understandable that you want revenge, but your target seems to be the Liu family and the Pei family. Instead, you have no intention of attacking the Lin family. What’s going on?”
He had actually investigated everything that she had done in the past few days. Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart sank. Such a man was both attractive and frightening. She did not dare to approach him.
“A cat catches a mouse. What I enjoy is the fun of a mouse running around. What’s the point of squashing it to death?”
“I’ve been in the club for 11 years. The ordinary people I’ve suffered would definitely not be able to endure it. In order not to be sold, not to be treated like a prostitute, not to be injected with drugs and become a poisonous doll…”
“I had to practice hard, to survive, not to eat enough, not to wear warm clothes. Not a single bone in my body was good.”
“Here, here, and here, all have been interrupted.”
“How did I survive, You, Black Emperor, can’t you find out?”
“If I can easily let them go, then I would rather die now. As long as I live one day, I will make them pay ten times, a hundred times.”
Those years, the suffering she had suffered, the fear she had experienced, the pain she could not describe with words. All of these had been tormenting her.
Revenge was the most important thing in her life. Therefore, she was willing to say all of this today just to let Yan Kuan know how strong her determination was and how much hatred she had.
No one, including Yan Kuan, could stop her. They could not erase her hatred and her revenge.
Shen Xiaoxiao’s almost out of control appearance made Yan Kuan’s heart tighten. He knew all these things. He had already known about it when he investigated her.
It was only a drop in the bucket compared to what he, Yan Kuan, had experienced. However, it was enough for a girl.
Therefore, he was willing to tolerate her and pamper her. However, his methods might not be acceptable to her. But he was willing to stay with a girl who had almost gone through the same thing as him.
It seemed that in this way, the two of them, who were equally cold, could comfort each other and keep each other warm…
“The Ouyang family is not so easy to deal with. Your man will do it. You just need to play with the other families.”
Was this a compromise?
Shen Xiaoxiao suppressed the boiling hatred in her heart and looked at Yan Kuan who had become so ‘understanding’. For a moment, she did not know how to speak.
Looking at the person who was slowly getting dressed, he lifted her up and said, “I don’t mind helping you put on your clothes.”
Shen Xiaoxiao paused. This pervert! She quickly got up and quickly put on her clothes.
“I’m going out for a while. We’ll leave after I come back.”
Shen Xiaoxiao thought of Third Uncle and Grandma Lin and told Yan Kuan directly. Since she had made sense of it, there was no need to hide it from him anymore.
She believed that with Yan Kuan’s methods, how could he not find out about Grandma Lin? As for Third Uncle, she had already thought of an excuse. She would say that she had accidentally met people who also hated those families.
“I’ve already sent people over to your grandmother’s place. They’re professional doctors and nurses. The people of my Dark Empire are capable of taking care of an old lady.”
“As for that old man who wants revenge as much as you do, just leave a message. You can go there another day.”
“There’s a ball tonight. You have to accompany me.”
What? Old man? Third Uncle?
Sure enough, Yan Kuan had investigated Third Uncle. Fortunately, from the moment he returned to the country, Third Uncle had always called her ‘Weiwei’ and did not expose her at all.
It seemed that Third Uncle’s preparations were indeed useful. However, what about Shen Xiaoxiao? Did Yan Kuan know about Shen Xiaoxiao’s identity?
Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at Yan Kuan. He had already turned around and went to the living room. She did not care about it anymore. In this situation, it was not a big deal if Yan Kuan knew about her identity. After all, their target was the same person.
She had always wanted to hide her enemies. As for Yan Kuan, she believed that with his ability, he would find out sooner or later.
It all depended on how long it would take.
Shen Xiaoxiao did not know that the moment Yan Kuan turned around, his eyes became even more profound.
