Half an hour later, Xiaoqian was sitting in a coffee place in the town center while looking at the view outside.
Ni Jianren rushed in looking anxious. He saw Xiaoqian and rushed toward her with a fierce looking face. He was like a crazy dog, it was like he wanted to charge at her. However, Xiaoqian was calm.
She waited for him to get closer and showed him the picture in her hand. When Ni Jianren saw the pictures, he was aghast.
Lee Zhen and him would be fired if this got out.
“If you dare touch me, I swear these pictures will be posted on the notice board of your departement. I don’t mind spending more money to enlarge the picture.”
“What do you want!” Ni Jianren roared.
Xiaoqian pointed at the seat opposite her. Ni Jianren sat down as his hands were trembling. It was then that he realised that the woman that he was looking down on was like an insurmountable mountain sitting across him.
“If you want the negatives, you have to fulfill two demands. First, dissolve the engagement. Tell them the reason is because you have an infectious disease and you don’t want to waste my time.” Xiaoqian used the straw to stir her drink.
Ni Jianren was enraged and he roared.
“You’re the one with infectious disease!”
Xiaoqian said, “Oh, so you prefer that I tell my parents you’re gay?”
Ni Jianren could only sit down and clench his teeth.
“Alright, I’ll tell my dad to dissolve the engagement. I would not want to marry a woman as scary as you. It would be good to dissolve the engagement. Afterall, no ceremony was done. It was just an oral commitment. I have to say that I have an infectious disease, ugh so disgusting.”
“The second demand is, give me fifty thousand. You give me the money and I’ll give you the negatives.”
“Fifty thousand?! Are you mad!” Ni Jianren wanted to beat the woman to death.
The property price in Q town was 2000 plus per square meter. That was the amount for half a house!
“It’s ok if you don’t give me the money. You can very well defend your rights and interests through the passage of the law. Go and report this. Sue me. Tell people that I use these photos to blackmail you. Capture me! If you don’t care about your job and your reputation, it’s up to you!”
Xiaoqian’s eyes were laden with grief when she said these words.
The familiar dialog was what Ni Jianren told her over the phone.
He used the same tone to blackmail her. If she did not pay the ransom, he would kill her daughter.
What goes around comes around. She used the exact method to handle him. Revenging against Ni Jianren, his hatred and maliciousness was reflected clearly in her eyes.
“Chen Xiaoqian! This has gone too far!” Ni Jianren remembered that he chose an honest and naive girl as a ‘shield’.
This woman was malicious!
“Me? Gone too far? If you didn’t provoke me, I wouldn’t have done this to you.”
This shameless man would actually marry someone to go through the motions for his family. Even when he knew he would not have any feelings for her.
Marriage is such an important matter to a woman. Even if Ni Jianren and her never had sexual relations, when a red-colored marriage certificate changed into a green divorce certificate, she was labeled as a divorcee.
Those days people were not very accepting toward divorcees. People would talk behind their backs when it was not even her fault.
Ni Jianren wanted to hack her into pieces. He said, “I don’t have that kind of money.”
“Your parents have it. Aren’t you an expert in asking money from your parents? The betrothal gift was fifty thousand. Now that you can buy photos of your ‘true affections’, you don’t have that kind of money?”
“When do you want it…” Ni Jianren clenching his teeth.
“Now, immediately.”
“I’ll go back and get it!”
“If you dare harm me, the photos will be exposed. You hand me the money and I’ll hand you the negatives, understand?” Xiaoqian took a sip of her tea and said softly.
Ni Jianren cursed once and left while swearing.
Ni Jianren had the money. His family gave him the money as the betrothal gift. However, he could not reconcile.
Being played by a woman and having no way to retaliate. He hated the feeling of helplessness.
After Ni Jianren left, he called Lee Zhen.
At this very moment, Lee Zhen was being beaten severely by Yu Minglang.
“Cousin, you’ve been beating me for half an hour, isn’t it enough already…”
If it were not for the fact that Yu Minglang never got close to any women and that he just transferred to civilian work, Lee Zhen would suspect that Yu Minglang and the woman were in a relationship.
Then, he attacked the location that hurt the most. It was obvious that it was for the woman. He estimated that he will be lying down for half a month. It was excruciating!
When the phone rang, Yu Minglang picked up the phone and saw the name above the phone number.
Sweetheart…
Yu Minglang thought of the man, who was a sissy and who was going to cheat his Zhou Zhiruo look-alike. He was disgusted in an instance.
He put the call on speaker mode. Ni Jianren was speaking with a trembling voice.
“Sweetheart, that ‘shield’ has gone too far”
What happened to Xiaoqian? Yu Minglang trembled and spoke in a higher tone.
“What did she do?”
Lee Zhen yelled from the shock that Yu Minglang was imitating him to speak. It sent chills down his spine!
Yu Minglang shot him a warning look to shut him up.
One of the selective courses he took back then was voice alteration. No one could do it better than Yu Minglang.
“She used the photos to extort fifty thousand from me. I’m going to get the money now. What should we do, sweetheart. If we don’t give her the money she’ll expose us!”
Yu Minglang frowned as the girl lied to him.
She said she would destroy the photos after the engagement was dissolved. Now she was on the brink of breaking the law.
“Sweetheart, are you there?”
“The transaction location?” Yu Minglang asked.
He wrote down the address and hung up the phone. Lee Zhen came over.
“Cousin, you see. The woman is too much. Use your connection to capture her. This is extortion, this is blackmail, this is…Ah!”
Lee Zhen had not finished that sentence and he got punched again.
Yu Minglang stopped and said in a cold manner, “Don’t you ever say anything bad about her.”
“She’s a liar…Ah!” Lee Zhen covered his other eye.
“Even if she did do something bad, it was brought on by you bastards!”
It’s done, Yu Minglang was possessed.
After Yu Minglang left the hotel, he got to his Jeep Cherokee and headed to the destination that Ni Jianren said.
Xiaoqian’s plan was almost perfect.
Once she got the money, she would leave this troubled town. She would bring the admission notice and head straight to the university. Then her bastard’s father and the bastard would not be able to find her. She can start a new life and have a life that has nothing to do with the bastard.
However, this perfect plan was disrupted by the appearance of someone.
When Xiaoqian saw that Yu Minglang and Ni Jianren came into the cafe one after another, it was like he splashed her with cold water.
Why was Silly Yu here?
Xiaoqian wanted to leave when she saw him. However, it was too late!
