When they arrived at the destination, Xiao Wu looked around to make sure no one opened the back door, then shakily tied Mingyue's hands together. "Boss, please don't blame me, I'm just doing this for the money."
"Really? Jiang Shengyan sent you?"
Xiao Wu's body stiffened instantly, his neck cracking as he looked up. He stammered, meeting a pair of deep, star-like eyes, "Old...old boss..."
"take it easy."
The curve of Mingyue's lips widened, as if she had discovered a fun toy.
"I won't make things difficult for you, just take me there."
Xiao Wu instinctively sensed a dangerous aura. He had been honest for half his life, but this was the only time he had acted greedily.
With a pained expression and legs trembling like a sieve, he pleaded, "Boss, I was wrong. I'll take you home. Please let me go."
"I gave you a chance."
The moon's voice was very soft, devoid of any emotion, so cold it froze one's soul into dust.
Knowing he had no way out, Xiao Wu gave up struggling, his face showing greed and resentment. "What do you know? People like you can make hundreds of millions with a flick of your finger. I'm just trying to make money!"
Mingyue's gaze was as calm as a stagnant pool, seemingly looking at Xiao Wu, yet also seemingly not looking at him at all.
"Are you done talking?"
"What do you want to do? You can't kill me! You can't!"
Xiao Wu's pupils contracted sharply, and he collapsed to the ground, watching helplessly as Mingyue broke free of her restraints.
“It seems you don’t know how to seize any opportunity. I gave you three chances, plus the four you just had,” Mingyue muttered to herself. “One shouldn’t be too greedy.”
[Host! Your emotions seem a bit off. Please control your dangerous thoughts. This is a society governed by law!]
778 felt like crying. How could the host be so dangerous? Something was definitely wrong!
Mingyue frowned irritably, but didn't refute. She placed her hand on Xiao Wu's head, and instantly, Xiao Wu's body went limp to the ground, with only his chest rising and falling slightly.
778 scanned the person and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the person didn't die, it was fine, even if they became an idiot.
However, this person was asking for trouble. The host had already given this person face by asking for their name, but the person didn't appreciate it.
Serves them right.
Mingyue went to the cabin alone. As soon as she entered, she was surrounded by a group of people. Mingyue looked at the masked man sitting in the middle.
"What do you want from me?"
Jiang Shengyan frowned. Why wasn't she brought here tied up? Mingyue walked in by herself.
"Dawdling and procrastinating."
As soon as Mingyue took a step, a burly man held a knife to her neck.
Jiang Shengyan took a knife from the person next to him and looked down at Mingyue. "I don't want to deal with you either, but you're just too much of an eyesore."
In particular, the collaborations he snatched have not yielded any results so far, but instead are burning through money every day, which has caused the board of directors to be very dissatisfied with him. Moreover, as soon as he dealt with the Ming family, the Jiang family's accounts were investigated by higher-ups, which made him very unhappy.
"Is this your limit?"
Mingyue's tone was puzzled. She stared at Jiang Shengyan for a long time, and then a look of sudden realization flashed in her eyes.
The male lead in Wen Qianyi's previous life was just a product used to spread romantic moments, only the one who spread romantic moments with Wen Qianyi became Shang Wan.
Why would a tool need to be so powerful? Besides, the Jiang family's resources are enough for Jiang Shengyan to act recklessly, plus there are confidants trained by Jiang's father for Jiang Shengyan.
Jiang Shengyan only needs to sign off on things, even if it means sacrificing collaborations time and time again for the sake of the female lead, which has now led to him encountering a tough opponent and revealing his petty nature.
