“Mr. Owen, what you’re saying is really hurtful. I’m the top male model at the club, after all. If I suddenly leave without saying goodbye, the club can’t be indifferent. As for the Lou family, they probably want to get rid of me as soon as possible. Anyway, I’ve already disappeared. If they secretly kill me, no one will find out, right?”
"Hmph, don't think so highly of yourself. Whether you live or die, the Lou family will not suffer any loss. There's no need to get yourself into trouble."
"So, the people looking for me are definitely not from the Lou family. Perhaps they want to kill me to silence me. Because Mr. Owen promised to take me out alive. Maybe to those people, my death is more valuable than my life. This way, they will have an excuse to break the deadlock that is too big to handle, and they can also use this to atone for their crimes. Why not do it?"
"Empty talk, you..."
"Mr. Owen, if I were you, I would end things here immediately, leave the country as soon as possible, and return to rebuild once things have calmed down. Don't say I didn't warn you; before the storm hit, I was just an unknown nobody who happened to know about their plans in advance and happened to leak them to you. If you don't follow their plan, I will be the root cause. In that case, they might take me down with them. In that sense, we are in the same boat; if we don't consider each other's interests, we will only fall into their trap. Please, Mr. Owen, think it over."
Originally, the Cui family, Irving, and the defending champion formed a three-way balance of power, with intertwined interests and mutual checks and balances. Now, two of them have joined forces, leaving only Irving out. It's obvious who will be eliminated.
Xiang Wan wasn't afraid of Owen confronting Cui Shiwan and Wei Mian, but during this time, he couldn't get close to them or contact them. Cui Shiwan, to reassure Lou Junxuan, would definitely not contact Owen in the short term. As for Wei Mian, he had been listed as a key target for national crackdown, his phone and all communication devices were under surveillance, and he desperately wanted to sever ties with Owen; why would he easily meet with him?
They never imagined that Xiang Wan knew their current predicament and would conveniently sow discord between Irving and them during this time. By the time they realized it, the government had already tracked their every move. Even if they knew there was a misunderstanding, so what? Would they really go against the country for such a small benefit?
Xiang Wan was so certain of this that she fearlessly fell into Cui Shiwan's trap.
What seemed like an insignificant pawn to them turned out to be a world-class bug, something no one would have imagined.
"What else did Cui Shiwan tell you? If you dare to hide it, I'll show you what hell is like."
A blatant threat. Xiang Wan patted her chest nervously and said, "Mr. Owen, if I tell the truth, can you take me with you? I don't want to come back. They won't let me go."
Irving narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, and nodded in agreement.
Xiang Wan then patted her chest with relief and said, "She said that as long as I find out your background and inform her, she will take the police to raid your hideout, and I will get half of all the assets that are seized."
With a "crack," the already flimsy chair next to him was split in two by Irving's palm strike.
Even Xiang Wan was stunned.
She said so much, and Irving didn't believe any of it. Surely he wouldn't believe just this one sentence?
