Chapter 1806 Pour boiling water over your head
"Okay then."
Cheng Zhiyuan raised the corner of his lips with a half-smile, reached out and slowly pried open her hands that were tightly clasped around his arms one by one. For some reason, his slow and measured movements revealed a frightening sense of danger.
The man pried her fingers apart and, with his eyelids drooping, he nonchalantly instructed Secretary Liu,
"Go get a kettle of freshly boiled water."
Secretary Liu answered calmly, "Yes." Just behind him was the secretary's office, and in the lounge next to it, a pot of water for making coffee had just been heated up.
He brought the things over quickly.
During this period, Ling Jiaqi already felt something was wrong.
She forced a smile with a stiff face, and gradually took two steps back from the distance she had been at at the beginning, where she almost wanted to stick to Cheng Zhiyuan.
"Mr. Cheng, what do you mean by this?"
Cheng Zhiyuan took the kettle of boiling water. He stared at the kettle in his hand with his eyelashes drooping, and tilted his head to listen to the shaking sound of the water inside, while saying to Ling Jiaqi,
"Didn't you say I could ask you to do anything?"
He let his ears leave the kettle, and walked slowly towards Ling Jiaqi with the kettle in his hand, smiling.
"Then use this pot of boiling water to pour it over your head."
This time, even without the effect of makeup, Ling Jiaqi's face instantly turned pale.
"As long as you do that, I will let you continue to stay in the entertainment industry."
The man smiled and walked closer to Ling Jiaqi step by step with a kettle in his hand.
The woman looked at him like a devil and stepped back in fear.
Mr. Huang, who was watching from the sidelines, saw that the situation was not good and immediately called out "Mr. Cheng" and wanted to step forward to stop it. However, just as he took a step, Secretary Liu blocked his way with a paralyzed face.
"The boss doesn't like to be interrupted when he's chatting with others."
He said this to Mr. Huang with an expressionless face, which earned him a twitch of the middle-aged boss's mouth.
On the other side, Ling Jiaqi had no way to retreat and was pressed against the secretary's desk behind him.
"Mr. Cheng..."
This time her tears were not adulterated at all, they flowed down violently, filled with extreme panic.
The man facing her seemed to be completely deaf to her pleading cries. He still held the kettle and muttered to himself,
"Chen Pianxian is the kind of person who can make me feel distressed for most of the day even if she gets a cut on her finger at home."
His dark eyes stared at the woman in front of him, an unconscious gaze like that from the abyss of hell, making people's scalps numb.
"How dare you pour boiling water on her like this?"
The man's mouth curled up, and his voice became more and more hollow, low and cold.
"How dare you let her get burned so badly..."
"How dare you force her to use morphine to suppress the pain..."
He slowly took another step closer, almost to face-to-face distance.
But in this distance that would normally make people feel ambiguous, Ling Jiaqi only felt a deep chill rising from the soles of her feet.
She was being looked at by Cheng Zhiyuan with those very beautiful eyes, but she felt as if she was being stared at by the god of death or the devil from the abyss. Perhaps in the next moment, this devil would reach out and pull her heart out of her chest.
Such extreme fear made her unable to stand any longer. Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground, crying hysterically.
"Mr. Cheng! Please let me go! I know I was wrong!"
She turned from sitting to kneeling, desperately grasping Cheng Zhiyuan's trouser leg with one hand, begging for mercy in a panic,
"I can go and apologize to Shen Pianxian! I can kneel down and apologize to her! I was wrong! Please let me go! If I don't have this face, I won't be able to survive at all! Please!"
