Qiao Wanwan laughed instead of getting angry, "It seems that your boss's mindset is limited to the bedroom. Last time he wanted Wen Lijing to have a relationship with me, and this time it's you. It's really laughable... He hates Jing Ting so much that he wants to use this to torment Jing Ting for the rest of his life, is that it?"
"This is not something I can interfere with. All I know is that I have to do it."
Qiao Wanwan asked, "Do you dare?"
"There's nothing I'm afraid of. Before Xiao Jiu returns to your side, I will leave the capital and go to a place where no one knows me to live in anonymity. This is the price I have to pay for participating in this matter."
"Do you think you can escape?" Qiao Wanwan said coldly. "As long as you live in this world, Jing Ting will hunt you down every day. Death is the easiest outcome for you. Given Jing Ting's style, he will make you wish you were dead."
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Qiao Wanwan guessed that Zhan Xiuwen was probably discussing something with the person behind him.
After a long while, Zhan Xiuwen's voice finally came through, "Now that things have come to this, of course I have to listen to my boss. I believe he will protect me. And even if that day really comes, at least I will have gotten my revenge on you."
"Qiao Wanwan, do you know how I survived those days when Zhan Jingting made me a stray dog? If I'm not having a good time, you and your husband can forget about having a good time either!"
"It seems like we can't reach an agreement."
"Qiao Wanwan, you don't even have the right to bargain with me, understand?" Zhan Xiuwen's cold voice came, "My boss has no patience, and don't even think about delaying until Jing Ting comes back to stop you. Make a decision as soon as possible."
Qiao Wanwan looked at the phone that had been hung up, her expression unusually calm.
"Madam, I'll have Master Zhan come back immediately..." Jiang Dong was extremely anxious. "It might be too late for Master Zhan to come back. I'll arrange for men to kill Zhan Xiuwen right now!"
Qiao Wanwan looked up at him and said, "Impulsiveness is a cardinal sin in warfare. Didn't Jingting teach you that?"
Jiang Dong: "......"
"Don't be impatient," Qiao Wanwan instructed. "I have my own arrangements for this matter; you don't need to worry about it."
"......yes."
Qiao Wanwan called Zhan Xiuwen several hours later.
"Chairman Zhan, I have some newly arrived fine tea. Would you be interested in trying some?"
Zhan Xiuwen's tone was very smug, "Now you know how to back down?"
Qiao Wanwan feigned weakness, "Just like you said before, I'm like a fish on a chopping board, I have no say in anything."
"You wouldn't be using this as a pretext to set a trap and kill me, would you?"
"Chairman Zhan is joking. I'm just inviting you to my office for tea. If I wanted to take your life, I could do it without anyone noticing."
After a long while, Zhan Xiuwen's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Qiao Wanwan, you'd better not try anything funny. Also, I only went to see you out of politeness, but that doesn't mean that what my boss said is negotiable."
"It's not too late to talk after Zhan Dong arrives."
When Zhan Xiuwen arrived at the Imperial View Group, Qiao Wanwan was making tea.
“This scene looks familiar.” Zhan Xiuwen sat down opposite her. “I just don’t know if your tea ceremony skills have improved.”
"You'll know once you try it."
Qiao Wanwan glanced at Jiang Dong and said, "Take these bodyguards outside and wait. If Chairman Zhan is in danger, he will naturally call for help."
"yes."
After they left, Qiao Wanwan spoke up, "Let me get straight to the point. The money your boss wants isn't enough to bring down the Dijing Group. How about this, I'll pay double, and you give Xiao Jiu back to me."
Zhan Xiuwen smiled and said, "You're quite willing to spend money."
“Money is just an external thing. As long as the child can come back safely, I’m willing to pay this money.” Qiao Wanwan placed the teacup in front of him. “For your boss, this deal is not a loss, after all, he has already gained amazing wealth.”
"Moreover, he knows very well that if this matter drags on any longer, not to mention me, Jing Ting will lose his patience first. If he chooses to fight to the death, that won't be a good thing for you either."
“Now that Jingting is not here, I’m in charge. You take the money, return the child, and I’ll swallow this bitter pill and let this matter rest for now. As for whether we can find out who your boss is and take revenge later, that’s up to us.”
Zhan Xiuwen picked up his teacup and smelled the aroma of the tea. "You're quite frank about what you're saying, even bringing up the matter of revenge later."
"You're all smart people, so you've probably already figured out what I'm saying. We'll definitely get our revenge. Of course, your boss might not let us off the hook either. We'll see who comes out on top then."
Zhan Xiuwen held his teacup, but only smelled it without drinking. "Qiao Wanwan, you want to use money to clear your name? But have you thought about it? My boss wants to torture you. If he wanted you dead, Zhan Jingting would be dead already."
"You mean there's no room for negotiation?"
“Exactly.” Zhan Xiuwen leaned back in his chair, looking quite relaxed. “I was initially a bit resistant to this, but then I thought about it. First, I have to obey my boss. Second, sleeping with you will torment Jing Ting. For the rest of his life, every time he sees you, he will think of me, and he will feel like he’s living a life worse than death. How great is that?”
"And finally..." Zhan Xiuwen's venomous eyes scanned Qiao Wanwan, "A stunning beauty like you, what man wouldn't be tempted? Absolutely impossible. Otherwise, Wen Lijing wouldn't be dreaming of having you..."
"Splash!"
No sooner had Zhan Xiuwen finished speaking than a cup of hot tea was splashed on his face!
"Ah!" Zhan Xiuwen stood up, burning up. "Qiao Wanwan, are you crazy!"
"If I were crazy, I would use boiling water instead of cooled tea!" Qiao Wanwan said coldly. "Zhan Xiuwen, you will have to pay the price for what you said."
"Hehe..." Zhan Xiuwen straightened his clothes. "Whether I'll pay a price or not is uncertain. I only know that you'll soon be mine. Don't worry, although you're a bit fierce to me, I'll be very gentle with you..."
Qiao Wanwan was so angry that her chest heaved!
"If there's nothing else, I need to go back and rest to recharge, since I'll have to serve you later." Zhan Xiuwen smiled. "My boss said it can't be later than tomorrow night, so you can arrange it yourself."
"Remember, don't try anything funny, or you'll find Xiao Jiu's corpse..."
After Zhan Xiuwen left, Jiang Dong hurriedly knocked on the door and came in. "Madam, what did Zhan Xiuwen say?"
Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes briefly, quickly calming herself down. "It's nothing. Just arrange for a few capable people to be on standby."
"Madam, you wouldn't have agreed to that kind of request, would you? Absolutely not!"
"Don't worry, even Wen Lijing couldn't succeed, let alone Zhan Xiuwen." Qiao Wanwan's eyes were filled with coldness. "I have my own plan for this matter. Just do as I say and wait for my notification. Don't ask any other questions."
