"Mr. Rong, I'm sorry. I promise I was not photographed. I... I had my reasons." Xiao Wanqing knew this was not the time to confront him directly, so she quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake and looked up at Rong Han pitifully.
"Oh?" Rong Han toyed with the tip of the knife in his hand, glancing at her. "What's your predicament? Tell me."
"I... I just want to go out and see the person who knows me best, to see if he can recognize me. If he can't recognize me even if I'm standing in front of him, then that's what a successful transformation is, right? I'm just being cautious, afraid of ruining your plans."
Xiao Wanqing tried to sit up carefully, but with a glance from Rong Han, the man standing at the door immediately stepped on Xiao Wanqing's shoulder and ground down hard, causing Xiao Wanqing to fall back down in pain.
Xiao Wanqing glared at the ground, her eyes instantly hardening with malice.
"So, I should be thanking you?" Rong Han laughed loudly, his gaze towards Xiao Wanqing growing even colder. "Xiao Wanqing, although we didn't know each other before, after this period of contact, we both know very well what kind of scumbags the other is, so stop pretending. You're just trying to get revenge on Gu Qingyan this time, aren't you?"
"Yes, I'm going to see Gu Qingyan. He's the one who ruined me, so of course I need to make him suffer. But now's not the time to completely destroy him. The most satisfying revenge is to slowly torture someone." Xiao Wanqing narrowed her eyes, her gaze full of calculation. "I want him to experience the pain I've suffered, little by little. What I can't have, he can't have either!"
"Clap clap clap clap clap," Rong Han placed the knife on the countertop of the entryway cabinet, clapped his hands with a broad smile, and looked at Xiao Wanqing with satisfaction, "Not bad, hatred is the key to success. Only by maintaining this hatred can we achieve great things."
Rong Han waved his hand, and the man immediately moved his feet off Xiao Wanqing and stood straight to the side.
Xiao Wanqing snorted coldly and slowly got up from the floor, using the edge of the cabinet in the entryway for support. Although she was disheveled, she was still stunningly beautiful.
Rong Han stared at that face, momentarily lost in thought.
Xiao Wanqing rubbed her shoulders, her face extremely pale, but the moment she turned her face away, she put on her mask again. She looked at the man beside her and said with a slightly coquettish tone, "You really don't know how to cherish a lady. You beat me up as soon as you walked in the door. Are you even a man? It hurts so much!"
As she spoke, she showed a pained expression and complained tearfully, "Look, I can't lift my left arm at all. I don't know if it's broken. Can you take a look?"
Seeing that the man was unmoved, Xiao Wanqing started sobbing and actually shed tears, then looked up at him pitifully.
"Take a look at her, make sure it's not really broken." Rong Han narrowed his eyes, wanting to see Xiao Wanqing continue her act.
"Yes." The man acknowledged the order, walked to Xiao Wanqing's left, and lowered his head to show her.
"Yes, right here. Look, I can't even lift it up." As soon as the man's hand landed on her shoulder, Xiao Wanqing cried out in pain. Then she turned her body slightly to block part of the man's view. "I'll turn on the entryway light so you can see better."
Xiao Wanqing's voice was soft.
Seeing her face covered in tears, the man's heart softened, and he lowered his head to examine her carefully.
In just a second, Xiao Wanqing had already gripped the knife in her hand from the entryway.
The next second, the knife was already stuck in the man's left shoulder and then pulled out.
The man was completely unprepared for Xiao Wanqing's attack and immediately took a step back in pain. However, his body, honed by years of training, could still withstand the pain. He forced himself to grab Xiao Wanqing's chin with his right hand, shoved her against the wall, and then snatched the knife from her hand.
"Alright, stop." Rong Han curled the corner of his mouth and then ordered the man, "Have the driver take you to get your wound treated. I'll handle things here."
"President Rong, I'm afraid this madman might..." the man said through gritted teeth.
"It's alright." Rong Han waved his hand, interrupting him directly. "You can go out first. I said I'll take care of things here."
Upon seeing this, the man immediately lowered his head and left the villa.
Xiao Wanqing stared intently at the door, only relaxing after the man closed it.
Rong Han had been observing Xiao Wanqing's reaction. He extended his right hand and gestured for her to enter. "Miss Xiao, you've truly broadened my horizons. Haha, please." With that, he strode towards the living room.
After Xiao Wanqing sat down warily, Rong Han had already prepared the tea. He placed the teacup in the middle of the table and said with a smile, "Miss Xiao, let's chat while we drink."
Xiao Wanqing picked up her teacup and took a small sip. "Mr. Rong, the tea here is truly priceless."
"Oh?" Rong Han curled the corners of his lips. "Interesting, Miss Xiao also knows how to appreciate tea."
"I only know the basics. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Mr. Rong." Xiao Wanqing looked at Rong Mo with unfriendly eyes and asked the question that had been bothering her, "Mr. Rong, you placed the knife in the entryway just now to test me, didn't you?"
"Hahahaha," Rong Han laughed loudly, leaning back on the sofa and casually resting his hand on the edge of the sofa. "Miss Xiao is really a smart person. I like dealing with smart people the most; it's so easy."
Xiao Wanqing sneered, poured herself more tea and continued drinking. "Heh, Mr. Rong is quite ruthless. I saw the man at the door following you the whole time, so he must be one of your confidants."
You actually have the heart to use someone like that as a pawn? Aren't you afraid I might just ruthlessly kill him? After all, you know I've killed people before, and I'm quite adept at using a knife.”
"Hahahaha." Rong Han was growing increasingly fond of Xiao Wanqing, and his eyes were shining. "I know you won't kill him. Killing him will only hurt for a short time, but being injured will hurt for a long time. Judging from how you treated Gu Qingyan, I know what your choice is."
Besides, we're the same kind of people; we never show mercy to those around us. I've investigated clearly how Gu Qingyan treated you in the past, and you didn't show any mercy then either, did you?
That's where we're similar. Great, I'm satisfied.
Moreover, you are a woman, and such a beautiful and charming one at that, so people will be much less wary of you. If you use this weapon well, you can achieve your goal more easily.
Rong Han narrowed his eyes, his gaze towards Xiao Wanqing growing increasingly appreciative.
"Pervert." Xiao Wanqing curled the corners of her lips and said with a wicked smile, "Let's have a pleasant collaboration from now on."
