Zhao Weide was being stared at by Jiang Chuan, the tangible murderous aura felt like knives slicing across his face, causing his hands to tremble uncontrollably. He had no doubt that Jiang Chuan meant every word he said.
At that moment, Zhao Weide felt Death's presence so near. Would he really dare to kill him? Killing someone would certainly be illegal, but what if... what if he actually did kill him?
"Bang..."
A crisp sound rang out, followed by a scream from Zhao Weide as if he were being slaughtered. Two bloody scratches appeared on his cheeks, with blood trickling down the corners of his mouth.
Jiang Chuan had slapped him twice, without using his full strength. Otherwise, Zhao Weide would have met King Yama directly.
"Three!"
Jiang Chuan stared coldly at Zhao Weide. The moment he started counting, Zhao Weide's body trembled violently. If he weren't suspended in the air, he would have surely collapsed to his knees.
"I'll talk... I'll talk, don't kill me, please don't..."
"Speak!" Jiang Chuan let Zhao Weide down.
"I... I didn't mean to commit any wrongdoing!" Zhao Weide, seeing Jiang Chuan's icy gaze, could barely catch his breath as he hurriedly said, "I didn't, and besides, this wasn't my idea, it wasn't my idea at all!"
"Didn't mean to commit wrongdoing?" Jiang Chuan squinted his eyes slightly, "What do you mean? Whose idea was it?"
"I..."
Zhao Weide hesitated for a moment, and Jiang Chuan punched him on the nose. At once, there was a crisp sound and Zhao Weide's nose was pushed back, his nose bridge completely broken, and blood gushed out like a fountain, looking horrifying.
Zhao Weide staggered back several steps, holding his nose with his hands, his palms instantly drenched in thick blood, and he let out a scream, "Don't hit me, I'll talk, I'll say everything!"
At that moment, in Zhao Weide's eyes, Jiang Chuan was like a demon. Dare he hesitate for a moment, he hurriedly said, "It was Wang Shao Yi's idea, it was all Wang Shao Yi's idea."
"Wang Shao Yi?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Weide dared not hide anything, "It was all Wang Shao Yi's idea, everything was his instructions. The venture capital, the funds... all fake. Wang Shao Yi is a business tycoon, he has many enterprises under him, he's pursuing Qiu Qianyu. If he really wanted to solve the Qianyu Group's funding issue, he wouldn't need to come to me; he could do it himself!"
"You're lying!" Jiang Chuan's eyes widened, staring fiercely at Zhao Weide, "If it was Wang Shao Yi's instructions, why is it you who came in, and not him!"
"I'm not lying, I'm not lying, everything I said is true. Wang Shao Yi has been pursuing Qiu Qianyu for a long time but hasn't succeeded, so he had me put on a show for him..."
"A show?"
"Yes! Wang Shao Yi wanted me to pretend to commit wrongdoing and then... then be discovered by Qiu Qianyu. After that, Wang Shao Yi would appear as a heroic figure to stop my misconduct, and that way... that way the act of hero saving the beauty could win Qiu Qianyu's favor!"
Jiang Chuan raised an eyebrow. Although he had only known Qiu Qianyu for a few days, he was quite aware of her character. If such a thing happened, given Qiu Qianyu's personality, if Wang Shao Yi stood up at that moment, he might really succeed.
This plan was truly cunning and insidious. To win Qiu Qianyu, he even resorted to such a self-directed conspiracy and deceit.
What a despicable tactic...
"Is everything you said true?"
"It's all true, not a single false word!"
Looking at Zhao Weide's pitiful and wretched appearance, Jiang Chuan's anger did not quell. If he hadn't come with Qiu Qianyu this time, Wang Shao Yi would have surely succeeded, and then wouldn't Jiang Chuan's head be covered in a green hat?
No matter what, Qiu Qianyu is his wife.
"You all deserve to die!"
Jiang Chuan lifted his foot and kicked Zhao Weide hard in the stomach. Zhao Weide flew sideways, colliding heavily against the wall.
He felt a tumult in his stomach, sharp pain in his back, and lay on the ground like a toad.
Jiang Chuan walked step by step towards Zhao Weide, each step seemed to tread on his heartstrings. Curling up in the corner of the wall, Zhao Weide trembled violently, his face ashen. He couldn't muster any thoughts of resistance; in front of Jiang Chuan, he was like an ant that could be crushed at will.
"What are you going to do?"
"Kill you!"
At that moment, Zhao Weide was in utter despair, but he didn't want to die; he really didn't want to die, filled with the desire to survive, "Don't kill me, as long as you don't kill me, I can give you money, as much as you want!"
Jiang Chuan stood at the corner, looking down at Zhao Weide, a mocking smile forming on the edge of his mouth, and hoisted Zhao Weide up, "You have money, you think money can make me send my wife to your bed?"
