Chapter 245 Threat
"Oh, are you threatening me?" Zhong Nianyao's smile remained unchanged. "If so, there's no need to continue. I already know."
"Miss Zhong, that's not what I meant." Kong Fangming's expression changed slightly. "It's just that, don't you think you've gone a little too far? Although my bodyguard's actions were inappropriate, weren't you a bit too harsh?"
"So Mr. Kong came here today to defend your bodyguard?" Zhong Nianyao deliberately misinterpreted Kong Fangming's meaning. "But I think I'm still quite kind-hearted! I didn't even take his life, so how can I be considered cruel?"
She knew in her heart that Kong Fangming wasn't talking about the bodyguards, but about his own affairs. However, since he himself was unwilling to explain, there was no need for her to understand and ponder it herself.
Kong Fangming's face instantly darkened, but he also understood that the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. His problem was caused by Zhong Nianyao, and now only Zhong Nianyao could solve it. So, no matter how much he felt wronged, he could only endure it.
"Miss Zhong, let's be frank." Kong Fangming didn't continue to beat around the bush. "Those supernatural events that happened to me were probably caused by you, right?"
"Ms. Zhong, what happened yesterday was indeed my fault. I offended you. However, you weren't hurt, were you? So, why make things so awkward? Just treat it as a friendship and let me go this time! Of course, I've also prepared an apology gift, so please accept it."
He never wanted to experience what happened last night again.
In the gambling stone market, he learned about Zhong Nianyao's skills, and her beautiful face really attracted him. So he sent someone to invite her directly. Although it was an invitation, some tricks were also necessary when necessary.
This wasn't the first time he'd done something like this. However, many people, knowing his identity, were willing to meet him. Of course, for those who refused, the consequences were predictable.
However, he hadn't expected that Zhong Nianyao was actually capable. Therefore, he didn't plan to provoke her any further. After all, in this world, there are some people who possess abilities that ordinary people don't have. As for those people, it's better to offend them if you can avoid it.
As for the bodyguard, he didn't take him too seriously. He just asked someone to send him a sum of money that would be enough for him to have food and clothing for the rest of his life.
Of course, he was aware of Zhong Nianyao's threats before she left. However, he wasn't too worried. He hadn't shown up from beginning to end, and even the bodyguard had only given a rough outline. So, he wasn't worried about Zhong Nianyao's so-called revenge at all.
But last night, after falling asleep, he began to have recurring nightmares, constantly dreaming of those he had harmed. In his dreams, those people repeatedly tortured him in various ways, and he had no power to resist. He tried to escape, but he was trapped in the same place. The most terrifying thing was that, in his dreams, he could also feel pain.
He knew he was dreaming, but he couldn't wake up no matter what.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself still lying in bed, without any wounds on his body. However, the pain in his dream last night was still clear.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of Zhong Nianyao's previous threat.
Adhering to the principle of "better to believe than not to believe", he immediately sent people to investigate all the circumstances of Zhong Nianyao. Afterwards, he prepared a lot of generous gifts and came to apologize in person.
After what happened last night, he didn't want to go through it again.
"Just because I wasn't hurt, I should let bygones be bygones, right?" Zhong Nianyao sneered, "I find you guys really ridiculous. I wasn't hurt because of my ability. Does that mean I should be magnanimous to everyone who tries to hurt me?"
"Then I really want to ask you, Mr. Kong, if someone tries to hurt you now, but is stopped by your bodyguard, will you let it go and pretend that it never happened?"
"How is that possible?" Kong Fangming asked subconsciously, then realized that what he said didn't seem right, so he quickly said, "That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?" Zhong Nianyao said with a half-smile, "Mr. Kong, it's better not to be so hypocritical."
Kong Fangming's face turned blue and purple, but he couldn't say anything to refute.
He felt that he should be in a good mood now, because this floor was the presidential suite, so there were only two guest rooms, and his embarrassing situation would not be seen by too many people.
"Mr. Kong, please go back!" Zhong Nianyao raised her hand to send him away. "I believe that with your status and position, it will not be difficult to solve your problem."
"Since Miss Zhong doesn't want to, I won't force her." Kong Fangming looked at Zhong Nianyao and said through gritted teeth, "However, Miss Zhong, it's better not to be too arrogant, especially since you are still on someone else's territory. If something really happens, your family will be the ones who are sad."
"Mr. Kong, are you threatening me?" Zhong Nianyao's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes grew colder. "You can try and see who's more powerful, you local tyrant, or me, the outsider. However, I must warn you of one thing. I like to settle things one by one. So, next time, I don't even know what method I'll use."
After these words were spoken, Kong Fangming's face became even uglier, but at the same time he gave up the idea of taking revenge on Zhong Nian Yao.
Just now, he was really thinking that he would not let Zhong Nianyao go if he had a hard time. Now, the other party's words made him sober up.
Before, Zhong Nianyao hadn't even met him, yet she was able to take revenge on him like this. If there was a next time, he didn't know what he would do.
Thinking of the bodyguard's fate, he couldn't help but shudder.
However, since Zhong Nianyao was unwilling to let him go, he could only look for other masters. He was powerful and influential, so he didn't believe that he couldn't invite those masters.
After he has dealt with his own problems, he will not let Zhong Nian Yao go.
