Chapter 224: Silencing
A strong fear rose in her heart, cold sweat broke out, and her entire back became clammy and cold.
She suppressed her inner fear and anger, raised her hand and slapped Song Xiaoshan hard, "Are you leaving or not? If you don't, I'll leave first!"
Her tone was filled with anxiety and even a hint of threat.
She couldn't keep Song Xiaoshan here any longer.
She knew the girl's character too well.
If you talk too much and your brain isn't very sharp, you might end up letting slip more things that you shouldn't.
Song Xiaoshan covered her red cheeks and looked at Cheng Yingzi with wide eyes in shock, her voice a little hoarse, "You - you actually hit me?!"
Cheng Yingzi was suppressing her anger, and the rage in her heart was about to explode.
If it weren't for Song Xiaoshan's stupid things, she wouldn't have ended up like this!
She gritted her teeth and whispered each word with all her might, "Do you still want money?"
“If you make such a fuss, the more things Shen Yan’s people know, the slimmer the possibility of you getting the money will be. Do you understand?”
Now, the only way is to use money to control Song Xiaoshan, this pig-brained girl.
She knew that she was so poor that she could barely afford to eat.
She really had no other choice but to resort to this method.
We can only rely on money to maintain this precarious situation.
Cheng Yingzi forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart and endure the cold, almost murderous look in Shen Yan's eyes.
She grabbed Song Xiaoshan and walked quickly and without hesitation in the opposite direction of Liulin Road.
Shen Yan waved to Cao Yangfei, and he immediately ran over with quick steps and movements, and asked seriously, "Boss?"
Shen Yan asked him to lower his head, leaned close to his ear, and ordered in a low voice: "Go and keep an eye on Cheng Yingzi, secretly investigate whether she set the fire, and find out the conclusive evidence."
Cao Yangfei knew very well that the last sudden fire that almost destroyed half of the neighborhood was caused by Cheng Yingzi.
When he heard this, his anger surged up, and he couldn't help but curse under his breath: "What a fucking black heart! He looks like a decent person on the surface, but he does such things that hurt others and himself behind the scenes!"
"Boss, don't worry."
Cao Yangfei nodded and said through gritted teeth, "I will keep a close eye on her, watching her like a thief, and never leave her side. Let's see what else she dares to do."
He paused, his tone becoming even colder. "If she really did it, she won't get away with it this time. Not only will she have to pay compensation, but she'll also have to go to jail."
At the same time, Cheng Yingzi was feeling uneasy and walked fearfully. She took Song Xiaoshan with her, and the two of them walked along the street, one in front and one behind, to the intersection of Liulin Road and Huaihai Road.
Just as they reached the intersection, Song Xiaoshan suddenly shook her hand away with all her strength. Her face was filled with anger and she put on a cold face: "Cheng Yingzi, why did you hit me? Who do you think you are? How dare you touch me?"
After hearing these words, Cheng Yingzi felt speechless and even a little angry.
She really couldn't understand why some people were so openly stupid.
This guy is so stupid, his brain seems to be filled with water.
"It's okay if you want to die. It's your business."
Cheng Yingzi scolded in a low voice, "Don't drag me into this! Don't you know who Chen Yan is? She's an old fox with a heart smaller than a needle tip, and she won't let go of even a strand of hair. Do you think she can't find you? Are you really stupid, or are you just pretending to be stupid?"
Song Xiaoshan rubbed her wrist, which was a little painful when Cheng Yingzi grabbed it, but she smiled and hummed softly, "I haven't done anything wrong, so what do I have to be afraid of?"
His tone was calm, but there was a hint of provocation in it.
She stared straight at Cheng Yingzi with a complicated look in her eyes, and said in a meaningful tone: "It's you, Yingzi... I think you are afraid that Chen Yan will investigate you, right? Tell me, how did you set the fire last night?"
After she said this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth again, as if she was watching a play, with a playful and happy look on her face.
She is now in a difficult situation - she can hardly protect herself. If she is found out, she will go to jail.
But she could still laugh, and laugh so calmly, which made Cheng Yingzi feel cold in her heart.
Cheng Yingzi suddenly thought, if it wasn't for this woman who dragged her into this, how could she have ended up being hunted down and hated by everyone today?
But now that things have come to this, what should I do?
For a moment, she felt at a loss, like a duckweed pushed into deep water, swaying from side to side, unable to save herself.
"What do you say, Yingzi?"
Song Xiaoshan became more and more excited as she spoke, and the smile on her lips grew wider, as if it was going to tear apart her last psychological defenses.
Cheng Yingzi felt a tightness in her chest from the stimulation and suddenly reached out to push Song Xiaoshan away with such force that it seemed as if she wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction and anger that had been suppressed in her heart for years at once.
Song Xiaoshan was caught off guard, stumbled, and almost fell in the middle of the road, with her hair a little messy.
At this moment, a taxi was speeding past her, almost hitting her, startling her so much that she let out a short scream.
After circling on the edge of life and death, she rolled and crawled to the side of the road. Her face turned pale in an instant and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
The thrill of that moment almost scared her to death.
Cheng Yingzi stood at the sidewalk, staring coldly at Song Xiaoshan, who was slumped on the road. Her brows furrowed as she spoke calmly but without question, "I didn't set the fire. Don't talk nonsense."
Song Xiaoshan covered her chest with her hands, her chest heaving violently, her heart beating fast, she could almost hear her heartbeat, the thrilling scene just now seemed to be happening before her eyes.
At that moment, I almost died at Cheng Yingzi's hands!
Is this woman crazy?
Why is this happening!
If she didn't do it, then just deny it. Why would she do it?
Why did you suddenly attack so harshly?
Did Cheng Yingzi really want to kill her to silence her? Song Xiaoshan was stunned for a moment, looking at Cheng Yingzi with an expression of disbelief on her face, her eyes filled with fear and confusion.
That's right, there was no deep friendship between the two of them.
She and she just met halfway. At that time, they happened to hate the same person, so they occasionally had dinner and drank together. That was the extent of their relationship.
If she had not fallen into such a miserable state, she would never have associated with someone like Cheng Yingzi, or even humbly begged her for help.
According to her understanding, although Cheng Yingzi was born in Shanghai, her parents went to the countryside as educated youth.
To this day, her parents’ household registration has not been transferred back to Shanghai.
Her household registration could only be registered with her uncle's house, and they only agreed to accept her reluctantly because they saw that her parents were in financial difficulty and her family had no other choice.
Her family over there just does housework and helps with odd jobs.
Her background, after all, cannot be compared with that of authentic old Shanghainese.
Her parents couldn't even work properly in Shanghai.
