Chapter 473: Revenge
"No." Zhong Nianyao shook her head directly, a sarcastic smile on her lips. "Li Jingming, do you think I look like a fool? Just because of your one or two words, I'm sure you're not the mastermind? I'm not that stupid."
Suddenly, Li Jingming froze. When he looked at Zhong Nianyao, his face was filled with anger. "Are you kidding me?"
"No." Zhong Nianyao shook her head calmly, "I just wasn't fooled by you, there's no need for you to get angry."
"You—" Li Jingming's face flushed red. He pointed directly at Zhong Nianyao's nose and started to curse, "Zhong Nianyao, you are slandering me. I didn't do anything at all. What evidence do you have to prove that I hired someone to kill someone?"
Looking at the fingers right in front of her, a faint light flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes. Then, before Li Jingming could react, she reached out her hand, grabbed Li Jingming's fingers, and then twisted them hard.
"Ah——" Li Jingming screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
Zhong Nianyao swung her hand and threw Li Jingming back several steps. When she looked at Li Jingming, there was disgust in her eyes. "I hate it most when people point their fingers at me. If you can't learn to be polite, then I don't mind helping you."
Li Jingming looked at his red and swollen fingers, endured the piercing pain, and when he looked up at Zhong Nian Yao again, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
"Are you scared?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Li Jingming coldly, "That's right. Only fear can bring awe. Li Jingming, I'm not a pushover. You hired someone to kill me twice, and now you're making a scene just because you were kicked out of the Li family."
"I didn't," Li Jingming tried hard to control his inner fear and looked at Zhong Nianyao, but his voice was still several degrees lower, "I really didn't do it."
"You've told so many lies that you even believe them yourself, right?" Zhong Nianyao sneered. "Whether you did it or not, you know it in your heart. There's no need for you to convince me here. Just like you insist that you did it, I firmly believe that you did it."
When she said this, her smile turned even colder. "Li Jingming, I'm standing right here. If you're not convinced, you can find someone to kill me again! Then we'll see who's more powerful, you or me."
Looking at the smile on Zhong Nianyao's face, Li Jingming didn't feel the slightest warmth, but instead couldn't help but shudder.
"Don't be afraid!" Zhong Nianyao's voice became gentle, but the words she said made Li Jingming even more frightened. "Being kicked out now is just the beginning. You will suffer a lot more in the future!"
"I'm not a kind person. I believe in revenge. I will never let anyone who has hurt me have an easy time. So, you should cherish the relatively peaceful days you have now!"
"You—" Li Jingming's tone was filled with fear. "Zhong Nianyao, I've already been kicked out of the Li family. What else do you want to do?"
"But you're still alive and well?" Zhong Nianyao tilted her head and smiled, "You wanted to kill me!"
In Li Jingming's eyes, such a bright smile was scarier than the devil's smile. "You...what are you going to do? I warn you, killing is against the law!"
"Illegal?" Zhong Nianyao laughed uncontrollably, as if she had heard some ridiculous joke. "Li Jingming, you actually told me that killing is illegal. How could such a ridiculous thing come out of your mouth? Since you already know that killing is illegal, why did you dare to hire someone to kill twice? So, you are breaking the law knowingly, right?"
"Tell me, should you be punished more severely for doing this?"
"I--" Li Jingming had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Zhong Nian Yao.
"If you still want to say that you are innocent, forget it!" Zhong Nianyao raised her hand, with a hint of impatience in her tone, "Everyone knows whether you did it or not. Besides, even if you admit it, it doesn't matter. After all, I don't have any evidence, right?"
As if he had thought of something, Li Jingming raised his head and looked at Zhong Nianyao intently, "Since you know everything, then you should also know that this matter is——"
“It was Shen Yixue who instigated this behind the scenes, right?” Zhong Nianyao replied coldly, “If that’s what you want to say, then I already know it!”
Li Jingming was stunned, “Since you know that it was Shen Yixue who instigated this behind the scenes, why do you still treat me like this?”
"Even if Shen Yixue instigated it behind the scenes, so what?" Zhong Nianyao said nonchalantly, "You have also made a lot of efforts! If you really say it, contacting people all the time should be done by you! So-"
"You are not innocent at all!"
After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, Li Jingming's eyes lost their luster, as if he had lost his last life-saving straw.
"It's not fair. You're being unfair. Why am I the only one who's responsible? Shen Yixue is also involved! She's the real culprit. She was afraid that you'd expose her identity, so she instigated me to hire someone to kill someone. Why should I be the only one to pay the price now?"
"Don't worry, you're not the only one who's paying the price." Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "Shen Yixue's situation is probably not much worse than yours. I think you probably don't know yet! The Chu family has found the real second young lady. Do you think Shen Yixue can still stay in the Chu family?"
Li Jingming suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhong Nianyao as if he saw a demon. "You...you know everything?"
“Yes!” Zhong Nianyao nodded, “Whether it is you or Shen Yixue, you must pay the price for what you have done. Since you want me to die, you must be able to bear my revenge.”
"But you... you're fine!" Li Jingming roared, "Why do you have to kill us all?"
"What a joke! Didn't you want me dead from the beginning?" Zhong Nianyao just found it funny. "You were the one who started this endless fight, and now you're blaming me for wanting to kill you all. Li Jingming, don't you think you're being too hypocritical?"
The questioning in every word made Li Jingming unable to utter any rebuttal.
"Enjoy this calm before the storm!" Zhong Nianyao's face was cold, "Because, your next few days may not be easy."
