Chapter 485: Chapter 0485: The Trap Set by Jiang Wenhao
Although Pei Zhencuan had guessed that Qi Jieyu called him because of Ye Xunhuan, he hadn’t expected Qi Jieyu to be so direct, which surprised him.
But Pei Zhencuan quickly regained his composure, "Aunt Qi, do you have an irreconcilable enmity with Ye Xunhuan?"
Even though Qi Jieyu’s straightforward approach was unexpected, and he was excited to hear her say she wanted to kill Ye Xunhuan, he didn’t overlook a single word she said.
On the contrary, he listened very carefully, very seriously.
"Does Young Master Pei doubt my words?"
"Aunt Qi, you misunderstand, how could I possibly doubt what you say? It’s just that as far as I know, apart from some grievances between Ye Xunhuan and Shi Jie, there don’t seem to be any other issues, how can there be an irreconcilable enmity?"
As he spoke, Pei Zhencuan seemed to think of something, and asked softly, "By the way, Aunt Qi, where is Shi Jie? I haven’t seen him for so many days!"
"Shi Jie has gone to other places," Qi Jieyu struggled to control her voice, "He is not in Zhonghai right now."
Qi Jieyu did not tell Pei Zhencuan the truth. Qi Shijie was her only son, and now he had been killed by Ye Xunhuan, but she had no way to retaliate. If Pei Zhencuan knew the truth, he would definitely be wary, would act with hesitation, and might even change something. After all, anyone who could kill her son and still be unharmed must be no ordinary person, she didn’t want Pei Zhencuan to change anything after knowing the truth. She needed to unite with Pei Zhencuan for revenge, instead of charging forward alone!
"As for the irreconcilable enmity between me and Ye Xunhuan, I won’t hide it from you," breathed Qi Jieyu deeply, "Does Young Master Pei still remember the press conference I held a while ago?"
"Was that the conference where someone impersonated you?"
"Actually, that was a sham!" Qi Jieyu’s voice suddenly changed, deepening, "I was outwitted by Ye Xunhuan, out of options, and had to resort to this last-ditch effort to extricate myself!"
"Aunt Qi, you were outmaneuvered by him, how could that be?"
"What if I told you, he has an insider, would you believe it?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhencuan’s expression changed slightly!
"Aunt Qi, then you..."
"I was schemed against by them, lost my dignity, they took videos, and blackmailed me, threatened me, I had no choice but to say that someone was impersonating me..." Qi Jieyu said through clenched teeth.
Qi Jieyu didn’t hide the matter of being compromised by the insider, for cooperation necessitates sincerity; she had now laid out all her sincerity.
At this point, a look of enlightenment appeared on Pei Zhencuan’s face, now he understood why Qi Jieyu declared that she had an irreconcilable enmity with Ye Xunhuan.
But that enmity was indeed fierce.
At the same time, Pei Zhencuan began to envy the man who had been intimate with Qi Jieyu. Although Qi Jieyu was in her forties, her impeccable maintenance left her skin tender, fair, appearing no more than thirty. Moreover, her mature and assertive aura indeed had the power to make many men surrender.
Furthermore, coupled with Qi Jieyu’s own status, to ride on the body of such a woman would undoubtedly be a very fulfilling achievement.
"Aunt Qi, sorry, I wasn’t aware of this," said Pei Zhencuan with a touch of remorse.
"Young Master Pei, I told you this to let you know that I, Qi Jieyu, sincerely want to join forces with you!" Qi Jieyu emphasized firmly, "I wonder what are your thoughts?"
"Aunt Qi, since you’ve been frank with me, I won’t conceal anything from you either, I will definitely not let Ye Xunhuan off. Since we share a common enemy, I’m naturally willing to cooperate with you!"
"Then let’s find a time to meet and talk in detail!"
"No problem!"
After that, Pei Zhencuan hung up the phone.
On the other end, Qi Jieyu took her mobile phone from her ear and took a deep breath, her voice chilling as she said, "Ye Xunhuan, having offended the Pei family, I refuse to believe that you could still be alive this time!"
Last time at the Xie family charity auction, Qi Jieyu thought that Ye Xunhuan was as good as dead, but who would have thought that Ye Xunhuan would still be hopping around alive, while her old flame, Shi Yunfeng, had disappeared off the face of the earth. This made Qi Jieyu realize immediately that Shi Yunfeng might have run into trouble.
Otherwise, Shi Yunfeng would certainly have looked for her; even if he hadn’t killed Ye Xunhuan, he would still have come to her.
But so many days had passed without a word from Shi Yunfeng, and there was no other explanation but trouble.
This sent Qi Jieyu’s heart into extreme panic. Shi Yunfeng was her greatest trump card, her biggest support, but now something had gone wrong with him too. How could she not panic?
While panicked, Qi Jieyu found Elder Lu and offered a hefty price for Ye Xunhuan’s head, but up till now, there had been no news from Elder Lu’s side, leaving her extremely uneasy.
But who would have known that when pushed to a dead end, there would be another village amidst the dark willows and bright flowers—Ye Xunhuan had actually seduced He Sichan, who was about to become Pei Zhencuan’s bride!
This made her faintly see a glimmer of hope for revenge.
The Pei family, one of the four major families in Zhonghai Province, had a heritage that was incomparable to hers.
So, upon learning of this news, Qi Jieyu immediately contacted Pei Zhencuan, hoping to join hands to kill Ye Xunhuan and avenge Qi Shijie.
Just at that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Qi Jieyu’s gaze turned sharp as if a lion woken from slumber, her eyes darting straight towards the doorway.
Instantly, Jiang Wenhao’s figure appeared within Qi Jieyu’s line of sight.
Seeing Jiang Wenhao, Qi Jieyu’s chilling gaze showed a hint of disdain and contempt, "Who let you in!" 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
"I was just worried about you, keeping yourself locked up all the time," Jiang Wenhao said with some concern.
"What’s there to worry about!" Qi Jieyu said coldly, "I won’t fall before avenging my son. You think I’m like you, a complete waste. Your own son got killed, and you don’t even think of fighting to the death for revenge..."
Qi Jieyu mercilessly scolded Jiang Wenhao, as if in her eyes, Jiang Wenhao was nothing more than a dog who could be reprimanded at will!
Hearing Qi Jieyu’s rebuke, Jiang Wenhao’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly composed himself.
"Jieyu, it’s not that I have no plans," Jiang Wenhao said as he slowly walked over to Qi Jieyu’s side and placed his hand on her shoulder, beginning to knead it. "I’ve already bribed Ma Yingjun, who’s close to Xiao Jiu!"
Hearing Jiang Wenhao’s words, a gleam immediately shot through Qi Jieyu’s eyes, "You bribed Ma Yingjun?"
"Yes!" Jiang Wenhao nodded, "But the money he needs..."
"Money is a small matter, as long as Ma Yingjun can work for us, Xiao Jiu’s people are not to be feared!" Qi Jieyu said emphatically, "Find a chance for me to meet Ma Yingjun. I need to talk to him personally!"
Hearing Qi Jieyu’s words, a sinister killing intent flickered behind Jiang Wenhao’s glasses, but it was quickly concealed, leaving Qi Jieyu completely unaware.
At this moment, Qi Jieyu was entirely oblivious that she was stepping deeper into a trap, one that Jiang Wenhao had designed especially for her.
