Jiang Qingwan felt a lump in her throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it back. After holding it in for a while, she kicked the man's shin with her foot, threatening him fiercely.
"After the transaction is over, I will fake my death and leave. You are not allowed to stop me, or I will kill you."
