"Stop messing around. I haven't reached the point of seamlessly transitioning to my ex-boyfriend's brother yet. The end of my relationship means my career is about to take off. Stop delaying my future."
Si Yu pouted: "Hey, give me a chance, I can cut ties with Lin Changli and become strangers."
"You can, but I can't. I can't bring myself to say it. Just sit down quietly."
The phone rang, and Kong Sang glanced at it before answering it.
A gloomy male voice came out: "Nie Kongsang."
"Okay, enough nonsense. It's all about the winner taking all. If you want revenge, go back to the rainforest. I'll be waiting for you to come and catch me."
She hung up the phone immediately, logged into the group chat for the young lady's troops, and reminded everyone to be careful, as she didn't want her base to be raided.
Yu Wei whispered to Lin Changli, "You really broke up? You weren't really provoked by Wei Shengyi, were you?"
Lin Changli lowered his eyes: "She has had that intention for a long time. If we don't give in, she will think of other ways. Rather than making things ugly at that time, it's better to let go of the thread in our hands first."
Yu Wei was slightly taken aback: "The thread in your hand?"
Lin Changli offered no explanation, his gaze fixed on Kong Sang's lowered head as he sent the message, his eyes growing increasingly intense.
A kite that is constantly pulled tight will only fall; only by letting go appropriately will it soar higher and higher. This kind of feeling needs some twists and turns to develop.
The excessive behavior in bed wasn't the main cause of this incident. Kong Sang had other problems in his heart that he needed time to unravel. Only when these deep-seated issues healed could he truly bury himself in them...
The sofa beside him was dented, and Jinghe William, holding documents, calmly discussed long-term cooperation with Kongsang.
Kong Sang has always been serious about building the Sandi Group. He listens attentively to every word Jinghe William says, refrains from giving advice he doesn't understand, and speaks frankly about his ideas.
Jinghe and William would agree with and affirm any ideas that were useful, and would also analyze the reasons for any ideas that were not useful. Kongsang benefited greatly from listening to these and became even more humble.
Compared to Jinghe William, who was raised as the family heir from a young age, Kongsang, a mere heir of the Nie family, is indeed far inferior in business acumen.
Lin Changli could teach her these things, but this guy prefers to directly solve her problems, mainly because he can't stand seeing her worry...
Jinghe William is a person that is really hard to dislike. He is calm and composed, has unique insights, and most importantly, always speaks in a way that resonates with you.
He's clearly refuting you, but you feel like his rebuttal is absolutely right...
Kong Sang, engrossed in his studies, naturally failed to notice the changes around him.
The most obvious thing is that Yu Wei, who was originally sitting next to Lin Changli to find out about their relationship, has left and is now leaning against Bingchuan. Who could stand that?
Some stayed away, while quite a few watched the show, especially Lan Ye, the uncle who was indifferent to the matter, and Wei Shengyi, who was sold for 500 yuan by Lin Changli when he was young. They were practically cracking melon seeds together.
In this strange atmosphere, Julie Pello arrived.
She appears to be no more than 25 years old, tall, with the deep features typical of Japanese people—a classic striking beauty. However, there's a coldness in her eyes, which suggests she's not easy to get along with.
Dressed in a smart black shirt and pants, carrying a crossbody bag, he showed no stage fright as people scrutinized him.
Looking around, he said in perfect Chinese, "Mr. Weisheng, are these all my teammates?"
Kong Sang said, "Those around me won't go; they are seriously injured."
Jinghe William said helplessly, "If I hadn't been injured, I really would have liked to go and see for myself."
“Going to the rainforest is not about gaining experience, it’s about going to your death. Mr. William is in a high position and has no need to be like us, people who live on the edge.”
She wasn't surprised that this person knew Kyo and William; it would be strange if they didn't know the William family in Japan. But this statement...
Kong Sang's peach blossom eyes flickered: "Since it's suicide, why did you agree to go in again?"
Julie Pello glanced at Kong Sang: "His eyes are full of affection, and the hickey on his neck is no more than three days old. You have a boyfriend, and so do I. He didn't come out for the last rainforest mission."
"I want to go in again to see if he's dead, so I can find the next one without any awkwardness when we meet again in the future."
It's easy to say, but what kind of place is the rainforest? If you don't get out, there's a 99.9% chance you're dead. Knowing it's suicide and still going in says too much...
Kong Sang paused for a moment and said, "You're not sure. I don't have a boyfriend. Your boyfriend is probably waiting for you to cheat on him and catch him in the act. It's good to go in and see before making a decision."
Julie Pello glanced at Kong Sang: "Take it easy, some things are gone forever once they're lost."
Without another word, he opened his backpack, took out a small folding blackboard, unfolded it, and began drawing some terrain information...
Kong Sang's eyes met Lin Changli's, and she quickly turned her head away.
It wasn't just that she couldn't stand that kind of thing; more importantly, she realized she was becoming addicted. She just wanted to find a reason to get out of it as soon as possible, otherwise... it would be so painful to leave.
Normally, she would die in about three years. She didn't know how she would die. She planned to live a good life, and the system was by her side, but... who knows if the outcome could be changed.
If she really was going to die, all alone, she could only curse the cruel heavens. But if Lin Changli was still by her side then… she didn’t dare to think about it…
Her heart had long since scabbed over, and the only way to prevent it from bleeding again was to stop it from beating.
In no time, Julie Pello had drawn up a topographical map, set it up in front of everyone, and earnestly explained their team's previous route and the known dangers.
After explaining for several hours, Julie added, "As far as I know, the other two survivors from the last team disappeared after refusing Mr. Wei Sheng."
“If it weren’t for Mr. Weisheng wanting to teach them a lesson, then there must be some other force involved. We would probably meet in the rainforest.”
Wei Sheng raised his eyebrows: "If you also disagreed to enter, I was planning to use some methods, but since you agreed, I didn't do anything." After all, he just needed someone to guide him.
Julie Pelosi nodded: "Then someone else took them. That's good. They're all acquaintances. It's fate that we meet again in the rainforest."
Kong Sang blinked. Why did she sense a hint of malice in those words? Was it just her imagination, or...?
"I've written down all the equipment for you. I hope you won't hesitate to spend money to buy the best, as that will be our basic necessity for survival."
"Of course, everything is ready. We'll be leaving tomorrow morning. You can stay here."
"Thank you. If I go out at this hour, I'll probably be taken away anyway. I'll go back to my room to tidy up first, everyone..."
Before she could finish speaking, a small fist flew towards her ear. Julie Pello frowned slightly and quickly turned around to retaliate.
They struck with lightning speed, aiming to seize Kong Sang's vital points.
Kong Sang closed his eyes, exuding an aloof and arrogant air, displaying an incredibly pretentious demeanor. The key was that he actually pulled it off convincingly; his fighting skills were quite impressive, showing no fear of Julie Perrot and even beginning to exert pressure…
It was only a minute, not a second more.
Kong Sang opened her eyes, was instantly thrown to the ground, clutched her lower back and cried out, "It hurts..."
