Chapter 361 Comfort
He even used Chi Wenyan to threaten her, and great panic gripped her again.
Her voice was tearful and full of helplessness.
"I...I have to go back."
"No." Chi Wenyan refused without thinking.
How could he let her go back and face that madman Chi Lin in this state?
"But he will go crazy." Ji Wan looked at him anxiously.
She didn't dare to continue, fearing that the vicious curse would come true.
Chi Wenyan looked at the fear in her eyes. That fear was not for herself, but for him.
His heart felt like it was stabbed by something, and it was painful. The man took a deep breath, walked forward, and gently held her shoulders.
His voice was low and firm, with a soothing power.
"Don't be afraid, I'll go back with you."
Ji Wan was stunned.
"But……"
"No buts." Chi Wenyan interrupted her, "I want to see what ability he has to ruin my reputation."
His tone was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable strength.
Ji Wan looked into his deep eyes, which contained no trace of fear, only a quiet coldness.
For some reason, her anxious heart seemed to calm down a little.
…
The car drove smoothly on the road and finally stopped downstairs of the residential complex where Ji Wan and Chi Lin lived.
Chi Wenyan accompanied Ji Wan upstairs.
Standing at the door, Ji Wan's hands were shaking, and he inserted the key several times before it finally found the keyhole.
The door clicked open.
In the living room, Chi Lin was pacing back and forth in annoyance. When he heard the door open, he turned around abruptly with a twisted look of anger on his face.
When he saw Chi Wenyan behind Ji Wan, his pupils suddenly contracted.
His eyes were like a poisonous snake. He first stared at Chi Wenyan, then fell on Ji Wan. When he saw the faint red mark on her neck, his eyes turned red instantly.
"Okay, Ji Wan, you really cheated on me."
He roared like an enraged beast and rushed forward to grab Ji Wan's hair.
Chi Wenyan took a step forward, stood in front of Ji Wan, and easily pushed away Chi Lin's hand.
"Mr. Chi, let's talk nicely."
Chi Wenyan's voice was cold.
"Talk nicely? What can I say to you, Chi? How dare you touch my people! I'm telling you, this matter is not over."
Chi Lin pointed at Chi Wenyan's nose, his fingers shaking with anger.
The man looked at him and said, "How do you want to solve this?"
He looked Chi Wenyan up and down, his eyes full of greed and malice.
Chi Lin the Lion opened his mouth wide.
"You can let me go if you want me to. Give me money. Five million, no, ten million. If you are one cent short, I will sue you and make sure you can't survive in Rongcheng anymore."
He was certain that Chi Wenyan would keep quiet for the sake of his reputation.
Chi Wenyan looked at his ugly face as if he was looking at a clown.
Just then, Chi Lin's cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was the company's vice president calling. He picked up the phone impatiently.
"What's the matter? Can't you see I'm busy?"
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to say something, and the arrogance on Chi Lin's face froze instantly.
"What did you say? The contract was terminated? Why did Mr. Zhang suddenly change his mind?"
"And Mr. Li's project has also been stopped?! Why?!"
“How much loss?!”
Chi Lin's voice became louder and louder, almost turning into a scream, and his face lost all color.
After hanging up the phone, he was completely stunned, as if his soul had been taken away.
how so?
How come several big collaborations that were being discussed yesterday all fell through overnight?
This loss is enough to seriously damage his company!
He looked up blankly and happened to meet Chi Wenyan's eyes with a sneer.
"Mr. Chi." Chi Wenyan spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but with a palpitating sense of oppression, "You just said that you have the ability to ruin my reputation?"
Chi Lin was like being struck by thunder. His eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Chi Wenyan in disbelief.
It's him!
He did all this.
This man, in such a short time, easily destroyed everything he had worked so hard to build.
Cold sweat instantly soaked Chi Lin's back, and he truly realized what kind of terrifying existence he had provoked.
Chi Lin froze, as if he had been hit hard in the face. He stared at Chi Wenyan in disbelief.
It was as if he was looking at a devil, and at this moment, cold sweat instantly soaked his shirt.
His back felt sticky and uncomfortable, and he finally understood what kind of person he had offended. He was not a businessman who could be manipulated at will.
But it is a dormant beast.
Just revealing a tiny fraction of his power is enough to bankrupt him.
Fear surged into my heart like a tide. The arrogance and anger I had just felt turned into powerless bubbles.
Chi Lin's voice began to tremble. He tried to force a smile, but it looked uglier than crying.
"Mr. Chi, it was all a misunderstanding just now."
He was like a dog wagging its tail to beg for mercy, without any trace of his previous arrogance or dominance.
Chi Wenyan just looked at him coldly, his eyes were as cold as ice, without a trace of warmth.
Chi Lin's scalp tingled when he looked at him.
The instinct of survival made him think quickly. He suddenly grabbed Ji Wan beside him and pulled her in front of him, as if he had grabbed the last straw.
Chi Lin forced a smile.
"Brother Wen Yan, look, we are all family."
Ji Wan was gripped by him so hard that it hurt. She frowned in disgust and tried to break free, but Chi Lin held her tightly.
"Ji Wan, say something!" Chi Lin winked at her, "Hurry up and beg Wen Yan to let us go this time."
Ji Wan's heart sank to the bottom. She didn't expect Chi Lin to be so despicable as to use her as a shield.
She looked up at Chi Wenyan, wanting to explain something, but found that his eyes were not on her at all.
His eyes were always on Chi Lin, full of disgust and disdain.
Chi Wenyan finally spoke, his tone as cold as the wind blowing from hell.
"Are you worthy?"
Chi Lin's face instantly turned purple, and humiliation and fear made him tremble all over.
He began to beg incoherently for mercy.
"Boss Chi, I know I was wrong. Please, let me go this time. I promise I will never do it again. The company is gone, and I have nothing left."
Chi Wenyan still had no expression on his face, as if he was watching a farce.
Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, Chi Lin started to play the emotional card again.
"Mr. Chi, I know there may be some misunderstandings between you and Ji Wan. I can pretend that nothing happened. As long as you let me go, I promise to treat Ji Wan well in the future and never let her suffer any injustice."
Ji Wan widened her eyes in disbelief; she simply couldn't believe her ears.
Chi Lin was so shameless that he could sacrifice everything for her, including her dignity and her happiness, just to protect himself.
