After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him Chapter 145 03-25 I advise you to give up the pointless stru

Chapter 145: Chapter 145 I advise you to give up the pointless struggle…

Song Sinian looked into her eyes, which had darkened slightly, and his gaze scanned over the bound wrists. “Binding them like this is utterly useless,” he said lightly, “It’s very easy for someone to break free. You should have tied them behind the back.”

“…”

Lu Zhaozhao was about to burst with fury right on the spot.

Despite her aggressive display, Song Sinian could still calmly discuss with her whether to bind in front or behind?

Lu Zhaozhao’s brows twitched involuntarily as she felt a headache ing on. She tapped at her forehead and said, impatiently, “Fine, fine, fine, I’ll tie them behind your back right now!”

As she spoke with resentment, her little hands unconsciously applied more force and bound Song Sinian tightly behind his back.

...

Then she straddled his legs directly, sitting atop him, and stared down at him from above. “Now, tell me immediately, what kind of plotting have you and Xia Wenjue been up to?!”

She had just been scared half to death, fearing that Song Sinian, with his wealth and arrogance, would partner with XJ Group and the first thing they would do is snap up mine veins No. 1 and No. 3.

But judging by her elder brother’s actions, it was likely that he and Song Sinian had made arrangements beforehand.

Song Sinian’s eyes were a calm abyss, without the slightest ripple. “Previously, you told me to let the Lu Family have mine veins No. 1 and No. 3, so I specifically instructed Zhao Xi to keep an eye on those interested in these popular veins…”

“So, you discovered that XJ Group wanted to bid, and hence you struck a deal with them on the spot and devised this plan?” Lu Zhaozhao interrupted before Song Sinian could finish speaking, unable to restrain her inquiry.

She had only just learned that Xia Wenjue was well-acquainted with the president of XJ Group, yet she had never imagined her elder brother would use XJ Group to bid on mine resources.

Song Sinian shook his head, immediately distancing himself from Xia Wenjue. “He indeed intended to bid on those popular veins. I merely went to stop him and incidentally offered some effective suggestions.”

Incidentally offered some effective suggestions?

Why did she find that so hard to believe?

Lu Zhaozhao narrowed her eyes and leaned in closer to Song Sinian, her body pressing down. “Mr. Song, do you know what ‘leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist’ means? I advise you to give up any futile struggle…”

Her voice, soft and gentle, fell into his ears, her warm breath teasing his earlobe strand by strand.

Song Sinian’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, and when he looked into her watery eyes, his deep voice was lost in the noise of the rain outside the car.

“Drip, drip…”

Large raindrops pattered against the car window, emitting a muffled sound, and the car interior fell into a tranquil silence.

Seeing that Song Sinian was no longer speaking, Lu Zhaozhao’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she bit down on his neck.

Her bite wasn’t too light or too heavy, just enough to leave a row of faint teeth marks.

Song Sinian shuddered, his breathing nearly stopped abruptly.

The sharpness of her canine teeth grazed over the thin veins, bringing an unusual tingling sensation that caused him to tense up suddenly.

He wanted to reach out and grasp her, but his bound wrists conveniently restrained his actions.

Ha! This truly turned into torment, sweet torment…

Song Sinian shifted his body slightly, “Zhaozhao, you have to believe me, everything I just told you is true.”

His voice was husky, even carrying a nasal quality.

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyebrows lifted involuntarily, and her gaze fell on Song Sinian.

If what he said just now was the truth, then where exactly did things go wrong?

Lu Zhaozhao’s watery eyes narrowed slightly, “Since you knew I wanted the Lu Family to win the bid, why did you still pete with them at the auction?”

The key point was that it was so nerve-wracking!

Just now, she almost thought Xia Wenjue was determined to have it!

Song Sinian clearly paused for a moment, turned his face away, and seemed somewhat reluctant to answer the question.

Lu Zhaozhao reached out and pinched Song Sinian’s chin, twisting his handsome face to look directly at her, “Are you going to confess obediently, or…”

While saying this, she tilted her head and grazed his neck with her small canine tooth, arching an eyebrow as if threatening him.

Song Sinian had no choice but to sigh softly, “I knew you wanted the Lu Family to win. All that mattered was that the Lu Group ended up with the number 1 and 3 jade veins, right?”

She pursed her lips slightly, “Uh… that’s correct…”

At that time, she had only hoped that Song Sinian would give up on those two pitfalls and incidentally use them to trap the Lu Group, so she hadn’t thought too much about it.

Seeing that her mood was not as agitated as before, Song Sinian continued, “Xia Wenjue and I just drove up the purchase price. The oute remained the same.”

Xia Wenjue had indeed intended to directly secure the number 1 and 3 jade veins—much sought-after assets. Had Zhao Xi not been keenly watching these two veins at the time, today’s auction would have truly bee a life-and-death struggle between Xia Wenjue and Lu Dagui.

Lu Zhaozhao pinched Song Sinian’s cheek, “Aren’t you worried that the Lu Family will find the price too high and simply give up on bidding?”

No matter how she thought about it, Song Sinian’s actions seemed too rash to her.

“The likelihood of that is low,” Song Sinian replied to Lu Zhaozhao with brevity and certainty in his tone.

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyebrows raised as she stared intently at Song Sinian, her eyes gradually darkening, “So, what else are you hiding from me?”

“…”

“…”

The two stared at each other for a long while until Song Sinian finally admitted defeat.

“Some of the directors within the Song Group have secretly contacted the Lu Family, likely reaching some form of collaboration. There has been substantial and frequent capital flow between the two recently.”

Lu Dagui was already basking in glory because the Song Group did not participate in the auction for the number 1 and 3 jade veins. With the financial boost from some directors within the Lu Group, he was quite fearless.

So even if the bidding price increased, it wouldn’t pressure him as it did before.

He and Xia Wenjue had already investigated the current financial status of the Lu Group, which is why they dared to bid confidently against them.

Lu Zhaozhao hadn’t anticipated all these plications and frowned, “If you had this planned already, why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”

Song Sinian’s dark eyes flickered, “I thought the result would be the same, and it wouldn’t affect you.”

“It wouldn’t affect me? I was nearly scared to death by you all!” Lu Zhaozhao let out a long sigh, “What if you really had won the bid?”

Hearing this, Song Sinian’s brow furrowed slightly, and he started sizing up Lu Zhaozhao.

For the Song Group or XJ Group, this amount of money was nothing; even if it was all spent, it wouldn’t really affect them.

But for the Lu Group, it was different; their pany didn’t have much liquid assets. If they ended up making a loss on the jade veins they had acquired… it would be fatal.

Song Sinian’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Lu Zhaozhao then slowly and distinctly said, “Even if we had won the bid, it wouldn’t have mattered, but… how are you so sure that these two popular jade veins would definitely lose money?”
