Chu Wuyang gripped her phone so tightly that her fingertips turned white.
He dialed Yunyang's number almost while suppressing his anger.
"I'm coming to see you tomorrow to do a paternity test!"
"That bastard Jingmin actually tried to renege on his debt!"
Her tone was sharp, making no attempt to hide her anger, like a drawn blade pointing straight to the heart of the matter.
But Yunyang on the other end of the phone did not respond for a long time.
The room was quiet.
Even their breathing could be heard clearly.
Chu Wuyang frowned slightly.
"Hello? Yunyang?"
She urged him impatiently.
Yun Yang remained silent on the other end of the phone.
Her fingertips unconsciously twisted the bed sheet, a barely perceptible fear hidden in her eyes.
It's not that she didn't want to answer.
Instead, they were waiting—waiting for Jingmin's instructions.
Since that night when she drugged Jingmin,
Jingmin then had a real-time monitoring program installed on her phone.
He can receive every phone call and every message simultaneously.
Therefore, she would deliberately delay replying to messages whenever she answered a phone call.
Because she needed to wait—wait for Jingmin's reply.
As Jing Min listened to Chu Wuyang's angry rebuke over the phone, a cryptic smile slowly crept onto his lips.
The harsher her scolding, the more vivid her emotions are.
She cares!
He had always liked her when she was emotional, genuine, and unpretentious.
It's much better than her calm, indifferent, and aloof attitude.
But that smile quickly faded.
A deep emotion welled up in his eyes—he disliked her distrust intensely.
His gaze fell on the phone screen, and his fingertips moved slightly as he typed out two simple words:
"Say yes."
Yunyang finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the instructions on the screen.
He quickly spoke up.
The tone was gentle, even somewhat submissive:
"Okay, Miss Chu, I will cooperate with you tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Chu Wuyang on the other end of the phone finally felt relieved.
But they didn't notice that Jingmin outside the door had stopped knocking and speaking...
After Yunyang hung up Chu Wuyang's call...
My fingers trembled slightly, and I almost dropped the screen.
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and then cautiously asked:
"Mr. Jing... will you let me go after I cooperate with you tomorrow?"
Her tone betrayed a hint of barely concealed excitement.
Filled with intense hope, as if all it would take was for him to nod.
She will be able to escape this nightmare.
"My agent told me today that KOAlA, the largest theme park complex company, wants to choose me as their spokesperson."
She paused, her tone now tinged with gratitude and a tentative, tentative inquiry.
"Thank you, Mr. Jing. I know this is your way of making amends to me..."
Her voice grew softer and softer.
"This time, I will definitely stay away from you. I... will never dare to have any more illusions about you..."
She carefully stated her position, afraid of angering him again.
But the next second,
Jing Min's cold voice came from the other end of the phone, like a bucket of ice water being poured over her head:
"Yun Yang, stop dreaming."
His voice was cold and devoid of warmth.
"The spokesperson has absolutely nothing to do with you."
Yun Yang froze for a moment, the color draining from her face, and a buzzing sound filling her ears.
What does he mean?
This means that even if she makes amends, he will not back down an inch.
They had no intention of letting her off the hook at all?
Her fingertips gripped the sheets tightly, her heart pounding.
Even his voice trembled involuntarily as he said urgently:
"Mr. Jing, I really know I was wrong. Please, I will definitely cooperate with you in the best of my ability..."
However, Jing Min impatiently interrupted her, his voice low and cold:
Do you even have a choice?
His voice carried an undeniable air of control, as if everything was under his command.
Yun Yang was merely a pawn to be manipulated at will, not a negotiating opponent.
Her throat felt like it was blocked, and she could barely breathe.
Jing Min glanced at the tightly closed door and walked away.
Standing by the window, my gaze fell upon the swimming pool below, which had already been filled in.
His eyes were dark, and his tone carried a hint of sinister danger:
"You've caused me so much misunderstanding and trouble, so of course you have to clear things up yourself."
"What kind of 'making amends' is this?"
"You still dare to mention payment?"
He gave a cold laugh, his words as sharp as a knife.
But halfway through the conversation,
He seemed to suddenly remember something.
He paused for a moment, then slowly began to speak, his voice low and meaningful:
"Unless... you reveal who's behind you."
"Perhaps I can consider it and let you suffer less punishment."
"I'll give you time to think it through!"
He hung up the phone after saying that.
The phone in Yunyang's hand suddenly slipped and hit her foot hard.
She didn't react at all, just stood there blankly, even her fingertips were slightly cold.
"The person behind it all..."
She murmured softly, her lips trembling slightly.
A memory that had been deliberately sealed away suddenly surged into my mind.
That man...
That madman is even crazier than Jingmin.
Jing Min... would make her stab herself with a knife, could drive her to a dead end.
But that person could truly make her die a gruesome death.
She would never forget how coldly he warned her—
"We can't let Jingmin notice anything unusual, otherwise... you know the consequences."
So initially,
When Wu Yang first suggested that she participate in this absurd "transfer of love" plan,
Even if she wavered, even if she had long harbored delusions,
But when she heard his name, she still subconsciously resisted and refused against her will.
And later, she agreed...
Because that person gave their approval.
That's why she was able to navigate between Jing Min and Chu Wuyang, attempting to control everything...
While cooperating with Chu Wuyang, she ignored Jing Min's warnings and acted on her own initiative...
But she was ultimately too greedy.
Thinking he could control the situation,
Unexpectedly, she ended up being forced into a corner with no way out.
If... if she hadn't had those delusions back then,
Heeding Jingmin's warning, I will not get involved in this absurd game.
Can she still hold onto the title of "savior"?
Can she just relax and be an international superstar, enjoying a constant stream of top-tier resources?
But……
What ifs are there?
And that person certainly wouldn't give up such a valuable pawn like her, even though he seemed to have forgotten about her.
However, Chu Wuyang's suggestion was exactly what that person wanted.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, it's a dead end?
She was indeed grateful to that person for giving her the opportunity to get close to Jingmin.
But now it seems that he was the one who dragged her into his "competition" with Jingmin.
