Chapter 389: Chapter 0389: Qi Jieyu, Let’s Talk About a Pen Deal
Ye Xunhuan’s guess wasn’t wrong, the next day Qi Jieyu indeed got in touch with Qiu Ruoxi, and she clung to Qiu Ruoxi like an overly excited puppy, her words filled with lavish praise for Qiu Ruoxi.
This left Qiu Ruoxi completely befuddled. What had her good-for-nothing husband done to Qi Jieyu?
It really turned out just like he said, Qi Jieyu actually started to ardently suck up and curry favor with her.
No, she had to ask him!
After that, Qiu Ruoxi called Ye Xunhuan directly, telling him to roll over for a confrontation!
Upon arriving at Qiu Ruoxi’s office, Ye Xunhuan immediately said with a smile, "Wife, you missed me already, didn’t you?"
Used to Ye Xunhuan’s slick and glib manner, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t bother with small talk and got straight to the point, "Ye Xunhuan, tell me, what did you do to Qi Jieyu?"
"Oh, she called you?"
"Right, she did call me, which is why I want to ask what on earth you did to her."
"What could I have possibly done to her? You know I was home all last night, I didn’t go anywhere!" Ye Xunhuan replied nonchalantly. "I might have wanted to do something to her, but I would need the time to do it, right?"
"Really?" Qiu Ruoxi snorted coldly, clearly not believing a word Ye Xunhuan said.
She wasn’t a three-year-old child, how could she possibly believe Ye Xunhuan’s nonsense. If Ye Xunhuan hadn’t done something to Qi Jieyu, there was no way Qi Jieyu would abase herself on the phone like that, trying to please her in every possible way!
"Why would I lie to you for no reason!" Ye Xunhuan said seriously. "I guess it’s because of the disappearance of the men in black that has Qi Jieyu somewhat panicked."
"Didn’t you also say they are Qi Jieyu’s four chief bodyguards? She sent them to kill me yesterday, but who knew they would fail and get messed up instead!"
"To this moment, Qi Jieyu has no news of them, and I’m still alive and kicking. She can definitely guess that something went wrong," Ye Xunhuan explained softly. "Her bodyguards are all out of the picture, and she’s still in Jiang Zhong City with me alive. Tell me, wouldn’t she be scared?"
Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s explanation, Qiu Ruoxi pondered deeply and felt there was some sense to it, but she also felt that something wasn’t quite right.
Yet, she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was amiss.
Without speaking, Qiu Ruoxi stared intently at Ye Xunhuan, her gaze as sharp as a knife, as if trying to determine through his subtle facial expressions whether he was lying.
But after a long observation, Qiu Ruoxi couldn’t find any hint of deceit.
Ye Xunhuan remained as ever, his facial expressions unchanging, his demeanor the picture of calm.
Could it be that she was just being paranoid, and what he had said was true?
But with Qi Jieyu’s status, even if all of the men in black had fallen, it wouldn’t be like this, would it?
Knowing she couldn’t get anything out of Ye Xunhuan’s mouth, Qiu Ruoxi simply told him to get lost.
After leaving Qiu Ruoxi’s office, Ye Xunhuan exhaled a pent-up breath. Making Qi Jieyu give in certainly wasn’t that simple!
Just as Qiu Ruoxi suspected, the men in black weren’t enough to throw Qi Jieyu into such unprecedented panic, given her status after all.
Even without the men in black, Qi Jieyu was still the richest person in Zhonghai Province.
To move against her would definitely stir up immense ripples in both the political and business circles of Zhonghai Province, even her unexplained death would cause a huge uproar.
And the reason Qi Jieyu was so frightened was all thanks to Xiaojiu!
After Ye Xunhuan told Xiaojiu yesterday, the guy actually went to the Yachun Hotel to look for Qi Jieyu and even performed a live erotica, conveniently recording a very clear and well-angled adult video!
Moreover, that scumbag Xiaojiu sent the video to Ye Xunhuan’s email first thing in the morning and also called Ye Xunhuan, telling him he lasted over thirty minutes yesterday and that Qi Jieyu was indeed a beauty. Xiaojiu even invited Ye Xunhuan to join him next time!
This left Ye Xunhuan with a face full of speechlessness—what a shameless guy!
Just imagine what kind of impact it would have if such a video of Qi Jieyu were to get out, in the hands of Xiao Jiu. There’s no need to spell out the consequences.
Would Qi Jieyu dare to be shameless then?
After all, she is the richest woman in Zhonghai Province. If such a video were to spread, it would be enough to utterly ruin her reputation, and naturally, the stock of her company would likely take a steep dive.
If some people in the business world were to stab her in the back at that time, Qi Jieyu wouldn’t just be disgraced; she might also end up homeless on the streets!
Ye Xunhuan certainly didn’t believe that someone could become the wealthiest person in Zhonghai Province without making a few enemies!
Ye Xunhuan guessed that Qi Jieyu would probably keep a low profile for the next few days. If she dared to show off again, he would directly finish her off!
However, Xiao Jiu couldn’t figure out Ye Xunhuan’s thoughts. If it had been the old Ye Xunhuan, he would have definitely crushed Qi Jieyu without mercy. But why was he now allowing her to live?
But Xiao Jiu didn’t ask any more questions.
Ye Xunhuan thought Qi Jieyu would probably quiet down, but would Qi Jieyu really stay quiet?
At this moment, Qi Jieyu had returned to her residence in Jiangzhong City and was sitting on the sofa, looking very upset.
Or rather, as long as she thought of the scene from last night where Xiao Jiu had defiled her, her heart filled with unspeakable rage, and she wished she could tear Xiao Jiu to pieces on the spot.
Moreover, just now someone had delivered three boxes to her. After opening them, Qi Jieyu’s rage surged to her heart, causing her to faint on the spot. If it hadn’t been for the servants pinching her "renzhong" acupuncture point in time to revive her, she might still be unconscious!
The reason Qi Jieyu reacted this way was that the three boxes contained three bloody severed heads!
It was the heads of the three men in black!
And that wasn’t all, Xiao Jiu even had the audacity to call her afterward, ordering her to clean herself up and see her in the evening!
Who did Xiao Jiu think she was?
His mistress?
Rage!
An ineffable fury filled Qi Jieyu’s heart, yet she was utterly powerless to do anything.
She was now at the mercy of Xiao Jiu, who had a hold on her. If she didn’t obey, who knew what Xiao Jiu would do next?
What was more important was that both she and Qi Shijie were in Jiangzhong City, right on Xiao Jiu’s turf!
If they crossed Xiao Jiu, who knew whether this devil wouldn’t directly target Qi Shijie!
Qi Jieyu wanted Qi Shijie to leave Jiangzhong City; that way, she wouldn’t have to worry about anything and could simply fight to the death with Xiao Jiu if necessary!
But so far, she had been unable to contact Qi Shijie.
This made her heart extremely flustered.
Suddenly, Qi Jieyu’s phone rang. Irritated, Qi Jieyu answered the phone without even looking at who it was!
"Hello..."
"Qi Jieyu, let’s discuss a business deal, a deal that you will find interesting!"
"Who are you?"
"Who I am is not important. What’s important is that we have a common enemy!"
