Lin Yanran clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh: "What exactly do you want?"
“I don’t want to do anything.” Yu Jiuyuan handed him the file bag. “I just have a ‘gift’ that I’d like you to help me deliver to my cousin in the Su family.”
Lin Yanran stared at the file folder, her eyes filled with resistance and anger: "I won't do this kind of thing for you!"
"Really?" Yu Jiuyuan took out her phone, pretending to open the photo. "That's such a pity. I was thinking of..."
"Enough!" Lin Yanran snatched the file folder abruptly, as if it were a hot potato. "I'll deliver it! But if you dare to send the photos out..."
“How could I?” Yu Jiuyuan smiled innocently. “I’m a very ‘kind’ person.”
Lin Yanran glared at her fiercely, turned around and walked away quickly, her back view filled with humiliation and resentment.
Yu Jiuyuan watched his retreating figure and smiled even more happily.
Like a child who has received a new toy, his eyes gleam with a madman's light.
Xie Zhecheng walked to her side, looked in the direction Lin Yanran had disappeared, and then looked at her: "Aren't you afraid he'll betray you?"
"Turn against him?" Yu Jiuyuan raised an eyebrow. "Does he dare?"
Her tone was filled with absolute confidence, like a queen in control of everything.
Xie Zhecheng looked at her and suddenly felt that perhaps she was right. They were the same kind of people, both of whom craved control and enjoyed the feeling of having everything under their thumb.
His control was bound by rationality, while her control was a madness that broke free from all constraints.
"What do you plan to do after the Su family falls?" he asked.
"What should we do?" Yu Jiuyuan turned to look at him, the sunlight casting dappled shadows on her face, making her look both innocent and dangerous. "Of course... we should continue playing my game."
She paused, her gaze passing over Xie Zhecheng's shoulder, looking towards a certain direction on a street corner in the distance. Her eyes instantly turned cold, like the surface of a frozen lake.
Xie Zhecheng followed her gaze and saw only an empty street corner and snowflakes blown by the wind.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Yu Jiuyuan withdrew her gaze, her smile returning to its sweetness. "I probably just saw it wrong."
Only she knew that, for a fleeting moment, she seemed to have seen a familiar figure, wearing a black coat, standing in the snow like a silent statue, his gaze fixed on her.
Is it Rong Shenghan?
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
But that's not important.
Yu Jiuyuan took Xie Zhecheng's arm and smiled like a harmless lamb: "Let's go, let's see if Director Lin's 'gift' can give the Su family a surprise."
Xie Zhecheng looked at her holding his hand, then glanced at the empty street corner in the distance, and finally said nothing, letting her pull him forward.
He could sense that 77's favorability was slowly but steadily rising, like a lit fuse spreading in some unknown direction.
And this game, in its frenzied control and silent hunt, is becoming increasingly interesting.
As for Rong Shenghan hiding in the shadows...
Yu Jiuyuan's lips curled into a cold smile.
He'd better hide it well.
Otherwise, she wouldn't mind making him the next prey struggling in the trap.
