Meng Wanning trembled all over. Before she could even scream, a cold dagger was already pressed against her carotid artery. She didn't need to turn around to know who it was.
"You'd better behave yourself, my knife doesn't have eyes."
Meng Wanning nodded through gritted teeth. Chen Kun grabbed her collar and yanked her off the bed, tearing the IV needle from her hand and causing blood to spurt out.
"Brother Kun, what...what are you trying to do?"
Chen Kun stared at her with a cold gaze, and unconsciously increased the pressure on his hand.
"What a clever scheme you have! If I hadn't been careful and sent my men, I'd probably be a prisoner by now. You heartless viper, you've really mastered the art of intrigue, using someone else to do your dirty work and even trying to get me thrown in jail!"
"Brother Kun, Brother Kun, I really only made a mistake in a moment. I absolutely did not mean to harm you. We are already in the same boat. How could I cut off my own path to harm you?"
"Do you think I'll believe you again? I haven't gotten any money or benefited at all. Instead, I've angered Song Yunzheng, and the entire city's police are on high alert, sharpening their knives, just waiting to bring me to justice."
Chen Kun suddenly exerted force, and the extremely sharp blade slashed through the skin of her neck, instantly staining the blade with blood.
"If I get caught, do you think you can escape? You orchestrated this whole thing, and I'll confess to all the dirty deeds you did in nightclubs back then. You've read so many books, you should know better than me that our country's laws have zero tolerance for drug trafficking. Once you're caught, it's a dead end."
Meng Wanning was terrified and cried her heart out, begging for mercy: "Brother Kun, Brother Kun... don't kill me, don't kill me, please, if you kill me you won't get the money, and you'll have a life on your hands, which will only speed up the police's arrest."
Chen Kun suddenly released his grip, raised his hand and gently wiped the blood from the blade. His face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water. He said, "My brother was executed two years ago. He did the same thing as me."
Meng Wanning clutched the wound on her neck tightly, looking at Chen Kun with a blank expression.
"I only recently found out that it was the brother and sister from the Song family who colluded with the police to collect evidence and killed my brother... My brother's name was Chen Weijie."
Chen Kun sat down on the edge of the hospital bed like a ghost, a chilling smile on his face. "Since we're already at our wits' end, we might as well do something big. I not only want the money, but I also want Song Yunzheng's life! If I win, I'll fly away; if I lose, it's just a worthless life."
Meng Wanning's body began to tremble uncontrollably. She knew very well that she was no kind person. There was no such thing as a free lunch. If you wanted something, you had to use any means necessary and go to great lengths to get it. This was the survival rule she had always believed in.
However, she was terrified when she was asked to actually confront Song Yunzheng. She had already witnessed Song Yunzheng's methods, and he would only be more ruthless than the Kun Ge in front of her.
Chen Kun looked at Meng Wanning, who was trembling, and warned her sternly, "Either go see the King of Hell right now, or cooperate with me obediently. You have no other choice!"
Meng Wanning sobbed, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls, her eyes filled with fear and regret...
What exactly do you want from me?
"Get Song Yunzheng out of here!"
"He hates me to the core, how could he possibly come out to see me!" Thinking of this, Meng Wanning became even more emotionally distraught.
That's your own business.
"Can I help you arrange to meet his wife? Getting Song Yunzheng to come out is a pipe dream; I can't even catch a glimpse of him..."
"No way!" Chen Kun flatly refused, pressing the knife back against her neck. "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Don't try to play tricks on me!"
"Then kill me now!" Meng Wanning closed her eyes tightly in resentment, awaiting the scythe of death.
Chen Kun, instead of getting angry, laughed and tapped his left cheek with the tip of his tongue. "Meng Wanning, what are you plotting? Death is the easiest thing to do, but what's more terrifying than death is a living hell..."
He slowly moved the knife to Meng Wanning's cheek and gently patted it. "If you don't cooperate with me obediently, don't blame me for leaving an ugly scar on your beautiful face with this merciless knife..."
"No..." The dagger was pressed against her cheek, the icy touch almost suffocating her.
"Brother Kun...no, I...I'll help you invite his wife over. As long as you have his wife, Song Yunzheng will give you whatever money you want. Just get the money first, okay?" Meng Wanning was so scared that she could barely speak.
Just as Chen Kun was about to raise his hand to slap her, a knock came at the door. "Huh? Why is the door locked? Ms. Meng, are you asleep?"
Upon hearing that a nurse was approaching, Chen Kun immediately put away his dagger, jumped onto the window, and quickly escaped.
The nurse unlocked the door and came in. Seeing the wound on Meng Wanning's neck, she asked in surprise, "What happened to you?"
Meng Wanning instinctively tried to cover herself, forcing a smile, "Oh, it's nothing, I just accidentally cut myself with my fingernail."
The nurse looked thoughtfully at her neatly trimmed nails. "Then let me disinfect them for you."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
——
With the New Year over, the start of the new school year is just around the corner. Lin Yue got up early in the morning and said, "Honey, I can go to school by myself later. You go ahead with your work, no need to take me. I'm not a primary school student anymore."
Song Yunzheng paused in adjusting his cuffs, then slowly said, "Alright, then let Lan Jia follow you."
