Chapter 413: Declaration of War
Before Li Jingming could answer, a clear voice rang out, startling both of them.
"Of course it's me, a helpful young man of the new era!"
As she spoke, Zhong Nianyao slowly walked in from a distance. She smiled brightly at Li Jingming and Chu Yixue and continued, "Old Madam Li has been kept in the dark for so many years. I couldn't bear to see her do this, so I told her the truth!"
Zhong Nianyao's sudden appearance caught Li Jingming and Chu Yixue off guard. They didn't know how long she had been listening in the dark. They immediately began to think about whether they had said anything they shouldn't have.
After Li Jingming recovered from his initial shock, he felt a surge of anger. "Zhong Nianyao, you actually did it. Why did you do this?"
"Why?" Zhong Nianyao blinked and said with a smile, "Didn't I say it just now? I'm actually doing something brave and righteous! Madam Li has been deceived by Chen Sisi for so many years. Do you have the heart to let her be kept in the dark and played around by Chen Sisi?"
When she said this, she seemed to remember something, covered her mouth, and spoke in a look of embarrassment, "Oh, I almost forgot that Chen Sisi is your biological mother. So, now that I have told Madam Li the truth about this matter, you must be very angry!"
"You did this on purpose?" Li Jingming immediately understood. "You're doing this to get revenge on me, right?"
"Revenge? How could that be?" Zhong Nianyao shook her head gently. "You haven't done anything to hurt me, have you? Those desperate criminals have nothing to do with you. So what do you need me to take revenge on?"
"You--" Li Jingming was speechless. He was extremely angry in his heart, but he couldn't say anything to refute.
It was impossible for him to admit that he had hired someone to assassinate Zhong Nianyao. Obviously, Zhong Nianyao also remembered this matter on his head, so she went to her grandmother and exposed the matter.
Chu Yixue's eyes flickered slightly, her heart tightened, and she felt a little flustered.
Because deep down in her heart, she was also afraid of what Zhong Nian Yao would do to her.
"This is just the beginning." Zhong Nianyao raised the corner of her mouth with a wicked look. "I'm not the kind of loser who would just swallow his anger. If anyone dares to harm me, I will definitely pay them back a hundredfold or a thousandfold."
"Zhong Nianyao, I didn't do anything at all," Li Jingming absolutely refused to admit. "Why do you say that I harmed you? You haven't even figured out the whole thing, and now you're talking about revenge. What right do you have to take revenge on us?"
Facing Li Jingming's questioning, Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's not based on anything, it's just because I'm happy! As for the people who hurt me, is it important? As long as I believe it was you, that's enough."
"You are simply unreasonable." Li Jingming was furious. "How can there be people like you in this world?"
"People like me live the most comfortable and carefree lives." Zhong Nianyao's lips curled up into a wanton smile. "Also, unlike those of you who use despicable means, I am always aboveboard and use open strategies. Isn't this incident the best proof of this?"
"If you really think about it, this isn't revenge. I never harmed you. I simply told Madam Li the truth. The instigator of this incident was Chen Sisi, your biological mother."
Li Jingming didn't know how to refute Zhong Nian Yao, so he could only look at her with resentment.
If looks could kill, he would have cut Zhong Nian Yao into pieces and ground her bones into ashes by now!
"Zhong Nianyao, are you declaring war on us?" Chu Yixue stood up, her face as cold as ice. "Are you really going to kill us all like this?"
She had noticed that Zhong Nianyao had been using "you" instead of "you". In other words, Zhong Nianyao was not dealing with Li Jingming alone, but both of them.
Therefore, even if she wanted to stay out of it now, it would probably not be that easy. In that case, it would be better to confront them directly. After all, the situation between her and Zhong Nianyao was already a life-and-death struggle.
"No, no, no," Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "I'm not declaring war on you, you're declaring war on me. Otherwise, how could you have found desperate criminals to kidnap and kill me?"
"I don't understand what you're saying." Chu Yixue shook her head. "But since you've already said that, we won't just sit there and wait for death."
Even at this moment, she would never admit anything. Who knows if Zhong Nianyao has a recorder or something like that in her hand?
"Then let's see who's more powerful!" Zhong Nianyao raised the corner of her mouth with a meaningful arc, "Now everything is just beginning, wait and see what I will do next!"
After saying that, she turned and left with brisk steps, as if she was completely unaffected by anything.
On the contrary, Li Jingming and Chu Yixue looked unhappy. The expressions on their faces were very heavy, and the atmosphere between them was also very low.
"Brother Jingming, Zhong Nianyao can't be kept alive." Chu Yixue's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "I don't know what she will do next."
"indeed."
Unlike his previous hesitation, Li Jingming now looked much more resolute. "If we continue like this, we'll definitely be finished. Instead of just sitting there and waiting for death, why not take the initiative and attack?"
Seeing that Li Jingming was different from before, Chu Yixue's eyes flashed with indifference, but her face was full of anxiety, "Brother Jingming, have you thought of any solution?"
Sure enough, people only start to get anxious when their own interests are involved.
Before, Li Jingming was still hesitant, but now after being tricked by Zhong Nian Yao, his murderous intent is even stronger than hers.
But it's fine this way, it's exactly what she wants.
"I haven't come up with any good solution yet." Lu Yiming shook his head honestly. "Even the few people we contacted before couldn't get rid of Zhong Nianyao. I don't know how she escaped."
Not only Li Jingming was curious, but Chu Yixue also wanted to know. How did Zhong Nianyao, a weak woman, escape from the hands of those four desperate criminals and remain safe and sound?
