Chapter 157 Counterattack
Meanwhile on the other side.
Meng Zhenyue obviously didn't expect that her carefully planned "flawless" plan would be seen through by Jiang Wanning so quickly.
Fortunately, she paid an almost "painful" price for this seemingly perfect plan.
For a moment, a flash of astonishment crossed her originally distorted face.
Although Meng Zhenyue's emotion was only fleeting, Jiang Wanning, who was sitting opposite her, did not miss it.
Although her consciousness had become somewhat confused due to the extreme cold, Jiang Wanning still realized one of the problems.
That is...
"Meng Zhenyue, the reason you and I are so similar is because you knew a long time ago that Xie Yanchuan likes me, right?"
Although Jiang Wanning still hasn't figured out how Meng Zhenyue achieved this without resorting to plastic surgery.
However, during this period of time, from the reactions of her and the Xie family, she could vaguely realize that Meng Zhenyue's face, which was the same as hers, was definitely not like this from the beginning.
It seemed as if there was an answer that was about to come out of Jiang Wanning's mouth at this moment...
On the opposite side, after hearing Jiang Wanning's series of analysis, Meng Zhenyue's expression gradually changed from surprise at the beginning to gloomy hysteria.
In the exceptionally silent underground warehouse, her low and strange laughter gradually turned into madness in the end.
"hehe……"
"I have to admit, Jiang Wanning, you are indeed very smart. No wonder someone like Xie Yanchuan likes you so much."
"Actually, I didn't want to do anything to you today."
Her voice was shrill and soft, and she paused for a moment.
Jiang Wanning also met her gaze and couldn't help swallowing.
According to the understanding of people like her, Du Mengzhenyue, this was the precursor to the other party's complete outburst.
Sure enough, the next second, Jiang Wanning saw a flash of cold light suddenly drawn out from Meng Zhenyue's sleeve: "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for guessing too much!"
It was also the moment when Meng Zhenyue finished speaking.
The next second, before Jiang Wanning could even react, Meng Zhenyue had already swung the dagger in her hand and stabbed at her.
The moment Jiang Wanning saw the blade, her pupils suddenly shrank.
Her mind, which had been unclear due to the cold, became clear at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Wanning mobilized all her strength at this critical moment and barely avoided the attack from Meng Zhenyue on the opposite side.
At the same time, Jiang Wanning also discovered that although the blade swung by Meng Zhenyue was fierce, it was not intended to be fatal, but more often it was aimed at her face.
Rather than taking his own life, Meng Zhenyue obviously wanted to destroy himself more.
"Jiang Wanning, do you know how I've been living during these years as Xie Yanchuan's fiancée?!"
"He and I are childhood sweethearts. From the moment I saw him, I fell in love with him. So when I knew I was going to be his fiancée, I was so happy that I almost went crazy."
"But all of this was ruined by you!"
Meng Zhenyue's hair was disheveled from the fight, and her voice was exhausted at this moment: "If you hadn't appeared, then Xie Yanchuan and I would have been the happiest couple. If it weren't for you, all this happiness that originally belonged to me wouldn't have slipped away from me before my eyes!"
"Even the elders of the Xie family who used to love me have become a different person to me because of you... Isn't everything you rely on just because of this face and your last name, Jiang?"
"What if... I destroyed all of this and made you become like me? Do you think Xie Yanchuan and the others would still treat you as kindly as they do now?"
When Meng Zhenyue said this, it seemed as if she couldn't wait to see such a scene.
She raised the dagger in her hand in an instant, and a cold light flashed in her eyes at this moment. The next second, she had already stabbed Jiang Wanning fiercely.
But unexpectedly, the touch and sound of the sharp blade piercing the flesh did not happen.
Meng Zhenyue widened her eyes in disbelief, looking at her hands that were stiff in mid-air, while beads of cold sweat slid down from her forehead.
Meng Zhenyue's throat tightened a little: "How can you... this is impossible...!"
Opposite her, Jiang Wanning raised her hand and caught her hand in mid-air the moment she swung her knife.
At the same time, her beautiful eyes curved for a moment as if she was laughing softly: "Meng Zhenyue, you don't really think that I would say those words to you without any certainty, do you?"
That’s right, what Jiang Wanning said just now was actually meant to deliberately provoke Meng Zhenyue.
This was also part of the plan that Jiang Wanning, Xie Yanchuan, and their two brothers had conspired to make.
During the dinner on the eve of their engagement party, they guessed that those behind the Jiang family might resort to this desperate measure.
So they decided to take advantage of the situation. Jiang Wanning used herself as bait to lure out those guys who had been hiding in the dark.
Although this plan was strongly opposed by several people when it was first proposed.
But in the end, the three of them were defeated by Jiang Wanning's lobbying.
She appealed to her eldest and second brothers with both emotional and logical reasoning: "Please, my parents are missing, and I can't help with the company. This may be the only way I can help."
As for Xie Yanchuan...the man could never refuse any of her requests.
But in this matter, he was unexpectedly persistent, but in the end he still failed.
Only at the last moment did he strongly request Jiang Wanning to bring a weapon for personal protection.
A specially made soft knife that is almost the same color as your skin and can be attached to your thigh without being noticed.
Therefore, as early as when Meng Zhenyue knocked her unconscious at the banquet and brought her to this underground warehouse, Jiang Wanning had already woken up and used this dagger to easily cut the ropes tied around her body.
Meng Zhenyue and the others probably never dreamed that before they brought Jiang Wanning here, they had searched her repeatedly to make sure she didn't have anything she could bring in, but they still missed this dagger.
At this moment, Jiang Wanning easily twisted the knife out of Meng Zhenyue's hand, turned over and completely pinned her to the ground.
However, in a split second, the two people's original "status" changed drastically.
In the darkness, Jiang Wanning curled her lips and calmly placed the blade of the dagger on Meng Zhenyue's fragile neck.
"I forgot to tell you that I learned a few sets of self-defense moves from Xie Yanchuan before."
Although he was not well-trained and had suffered a lot from Xie Yanchuan for this, he was more than capable of dealing with Meng Zhenyue.
At the same time, Jiang Wanning saw the latter's obviously stiff and dull expression, and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "Now, can you tell me, who is the other person who conspired with you in this matter?"
