Dongfang Shu tightly stared at Xie Mingjiang, her gaze extrely sharp, as if it could easily pierce through a person's disguise and easily discern what the other was thinking.
Xie Mingjiang, having seen countless storms as an old sparrow by Dongting Lake, showed no change on his face, remaining very calm, especially since he already guessed the purpose of Dongfang Shu's visit.
Then, Xie Mingjiang chuckled softly, saying without warmth, "What does Miss Dongfang an by this?"
Xie Mingjiang had anticipated Dongfang Shu's intent with this visit, and Dongfang Shu knew full well that Xie Mingjiang would deny everything!
"Are you trying to play dumb with , Mr. Xie?"
Dongfang Shu's gaze never left Xie Mingjiang, always scanning him up and down.
"How could I play dumb? It's just that your words have left a bit confused." Xie Mingjiang said blandly, "I hope Miss Dongfang can speak a bit more clearly."
Seeing Xie Mingjiang speak this way, Dongfang Shu snorted coldly, not being polite. "It seems Mr. Xie is rather forgetful. If that's the case, then allow to remind you!"
"Mr. Xie, haven't you made quite a bit of money lately?"
"Miss Dongfang, your words confuse even more!" Xie Mingjiang slightly frowned and said, "I'm almost making money every day, and quite a bit each ti..."
What is known as an old fox, what is known as an old hand?
Xie Mingjiang is the epito of this.
"Mr. Xie, you've taken so many of my assets lately, don't you think you owe an explanation?" Dongfang Shu said coldly.
Since giving face to Xie Mingjian doesn't work, words would need to be more direct.
"Have I?" Xie Mingjiang looked at Dongfang Shu with a puzzled expression and asked.
"Mr. Xie, I respect you as a senior, always keeping clear boundaries with you, water from different wells do not mix. Now your Xie family has united with others, attempting to swallow all my assets. Does this an you want to return to the arena?" Dongfang Shu said icily, "Or do you think I'm just a woman, easy to bully?"
"Miss Dongfang, you're quite the joker." Xie Mingjiang said neither lightly nor heavily, "Everyone in Zhonghai knows of Miss Dongfang's prowess!"
"If anyone thinks Miss Xie is easy to bully, then there's probably no one in the world who isn't!"
At this mont, Xie Mingjiang was completely playing Tai Chi with Dongfang Shu, skillfully averting direct confrontation without discussing the cooperation with Dongfang Qingyu.
Now, Xie Mingjiang acted as though he was a dead pig not fearing boiling water, denying everything and wondering what Dongfang Shu could do about it.
Having been through this society for many years, Dongfang Shu could easily see Xie Mingjiang's intent.
Imdiately, Dongfang Shu snorted lightly, "It's good that Mr. Xie understands."
Xie Mingjiang smiled but remained silent.
Seeing Xie Mingjiang's silence, Dongfang Shu spoke again, "Mr. Xie, although I am just a woman, I'm not at on the chopping block. Anyone attempting to kill will find I will do everything to kill them first!"
This ti, Dongfang Shu was making her stance clear.
"Even if I can't kill him, I will still manage to bite a piece of at off him, and let him understand the aning of burying a child before oneself!"
With these words, the intent to kill appeared!
A chilling and murderous aura suddenly erged from Dongfang Shu, directed straight at Xie Mingjiang.
Feeling the murderous intent on Xie Mingjiang and hearing Dongfang Shu's words, Xie Mingjiang's placid face changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
In the next mont, Dongfang Shu stood up from the sofa without waiting for Xie Mingjiang to speak, and said, "Mr. Xie, I won't disturb you anymore, I'll take my leave!"
Saying this, Dongfang Shu disregarded Xie Mingjiang's reaction and turned to leave.
However, as Dongfang Shu had just walked two steps, as if thinking of sothing, she spoke again, "By the way, Dongfang Qingyu has already rolled back to the Dongfang family!"
With these words, Dongfang Shu said nothing more, nor did she pause, striding out.
Watching Dongfang Shu's back, Xie Mingjiang's expression imdiately began to change unpredictably, and a chilling light flickered in his eyes.
He had indeed worked with Dongfang Qingyu, and the conditions offered by Dongfang Qingyu were irresistible.
Moreover, Dongfang Qingyu assured Xie Mingjiang multiple tis that there would be absolutely no issues, as well as Xie Mingjiang's understanding of ancient martial families, which is why Xie Mingjiang agreed to cooperate.
Otherwise, Xie Mingjiang would have absolutely not agreed to Dongfang Qingyu's proposal.
After all, Dongfang Shu is the queen of Zhonghai. Don't look down on her lack of territory, but every boss in Zhonghai fears her three parts, and when any boss conflicts arise, they all seek Dongfang Shu.
Many diations are handled by Dongfang Shu herself.
In other words, her words carry weight; every major player in Zhonghai respects her and listens to her.
Otherwise, tomorrow could be the day of your death.
There was once a big shot who thought himself a ruler, considered Dongfang Shu just a woman, without power, and didn't care about her words.
But the next day, his body was found in his villa.
Since then, nobody dared to underestimate Dongfang Shu or ignore her words.
Because no one in this world isn't afraid of death, especially such a mysterious death.
So, if it weren't for Dongfang Qingyu's repeated assurances, he would certainly not agree to this so-called cooperation.
But who would have thought that not only was Dongfang Shu fine, but she even directly ca to threaten him, outright declaring that even in death, she would take a piece of him, possibly even making him bury a child before himself.
It's been many years since anyone dared to threaten him this way, making Xie Mingjiang's heart filled with rage and a chilling intent to kill.
Though filled with fury, Xie Mingjiang couldn't ignore Dongfang Shu's threats.
After all, this is Dongfang Shu, the uncrowned queen of Zhonghai's underground world!
Not knowing how long it took, Xie Mingjiang slowly exhaled a breath of pent-up air, suppressing the fire in his heart, filled with contemplation as his right hand rhythmically tapped on the edge of the sofa, lost in thought.
How did Dongfang Shu settle things with the Dongfang family?
Xie Mingjiang couldn't believe the Dongfang family backed off on their own, knowing that when Dongfang Qingyu approached him, he revealed so details.
He knew Dongfang Shu and Wu Lanqin didn't have a good relationship, making Wu Lanqin's death the only reason the Dongfang family would back off!
Was it not the Dongfang family, but Ye Xunhuan?
Thinking of Ye Xunhuan, a heavy expression appeared on Xie Mingjiang's face.
