"This woman is vicious to the core. What's the point of letting her live?" Jiang Xinghai said grimly.
At his words, Su Yani's legs gave out, and she and Jin Gang collapsed to the ground in a heap.
'The issue of the wellness center's ownership?'
'With soone as terrifying as Jiang Xinghai standing right here, their lives could be snuffed out at any second!'
'Wasn't this a clear ssage for them? They could forget about trying to seize control of the entire wellness center.'
'By the sound of it, Jiang Xinghai wanted to kill her!'
anwhile, Jin Gang sensed the tide turning against them and quickly shuffled away, putting so distance between himself and Su Yani.
Every man for himself when disaster strikes.
It was a true reflection of human nature.
"I just want to give her a chance to atone."
Su Yanyun sighed softly, her eyes full of apology as she gently shook Jiang Xinghai's arm.
The two of them had already agreed to get rid of Su Yani and eliminate the threat for good.
But now, she'd had a change of heart at the last minute.
It was all because her cousin, Su Yani, was an only child whose mother had died shortly after she was born.
If they killed Su Yani now, her uncle's only bloodline would be gone, and he would surely be driven to suicide by grief.
Besides, her own father wouldn't be able to bear seeing that happen.
In her distress, she decided to give Su Yani a chance to live.
Jiang Xinghai hesitated.
'Why did Su Yanyun suddenly go back on her word?'
'Was it because of family ties?'
"Fine. The decision is yours," Jiang Xinghai finally said, nodding.
'To the Su Family, I'm just an outsider.'
'As for my senior sister, Chu Lingyun, her wish was for to indirectly help Su Yanyun.'
'Otherwise, I wouldn't have ddled in their affairs.'
Su Yanyun looked down at Su Yani, still sprawled on the ground, and said coolly, "Cousin, as for the matter of the wellness center's ownership..."
"Yanyun, I want to atone for what I've done! I don't want anything..." Su Yani no longer dared to ask for the moon, explaining hastily.
Su Yanyun stared coldly at Su Yani. "So, do you know what you did wrong?"
"I... I... I shouldn't have hired soone to throw paint..."
All the color drained from Su Yani's face, her tone filled with sincere remorse. "And... I never, ever should have used your reputation to threaten you. I... I was so stupid. I was wrong, I was wrong..."
Right now, all she wanted was to survive.
She didn't care what kind of groveling it took.
"I can give you forty-nine percent of the shares in the wellness center. You will remain in charge of operations, but on the financial side, I don't want to see you faking the books again. If you do, I promise I will show no rcy," Su Yanyun said, taking a deep breath.
"Thank you, Yanyun..." Su Yani sobbed, clinging to Su Yanyun's leg.
"We'll handle the paperwork this afternoon."
Su Yanyun sidestepped, shaking Su Yani's hands off her, and looked toward Jiang Xinghai.
"Crying so pitifully. I almost believed you were actually sorry." Jiang Xinghai's words were pointed, his gaze still fixed on Su Yani.
"I am being sincere! Really, I swear to the heavens!" Su Yani hurriedly raised her hand to swear an oath.
"To guarantee your unwavering loyalty to Yanyun, take this pill." Jiang Xinghai opened his palm to reveal a brown pill.
"What is this..." Su Yani started to ask, but Jiang Xinghai had already tossed the pill into her mouth.
Jiang Xinghai stated coolly, "Every month, on the first and the fifteenth, this poison will cause your entire body to erupt in an unbearable itch deep in the night. If you don't take the antidote, your body will fester until you die."
"Ah—!"
Su Yani tried to claw the pill out of her mouth, but it dissolved the mont it entered!
Standing to the side, Jin Gang had thought about slipping away several tis, but in the end, he abandoned the idea.
"I will give the antidote to Yanyun. She will decide whether or not to give it to you based on your performance." Before the words were even out of his mouth, Jiang Xinghai's gaze fell upon the worried-looking Jin Gang.
"Brother Xinghai, I... give one, too." Jin Gang had been out in the world for a while and knew how treacherous the Jianghu was. Taking the initiative now was a way to protect himself.
"You're a clever one, aren't you."
Jiang Xinghai had initially planned to kill him, but on second thought, he still had to eliminate Wind Leopard and Mountain Opening Tiger. Keeping this man alive might prove useful.
Then, Jin Gang also swallowed a brown pill.
"You'll get your antidote from ."
With that said, Jiang Xinghai took Su Yanyun's hand and led her back to the car.
"Xinghai, are you still angry with ?" Su Yanyun felt guilty for ssing up his plan.
"I understand how you feel and why you did it. Co on, let's go to the pharmacy and buy so herbs to help your parents' health," Jiang Xinghai said, then drove off with Su Yanyun.
Jin Gang and Su Yani didn't linger either and drove off.
All this ti, the neighbors had been gathered at Su Yani's front door, chatting idly and trying to get on Su Maosen's good side.
"Brother Su, your daughter and son-in-law ca ho for a visit. Why hasn't your brother Maolin co out to say hello?"
"That's right. Maolin's a grown man; he's being awfully inconsiderate, isn't he?"
"Maolin's own daughter is still missing, her fate unknown. He must be jealous seeing how successful Yani has beco."
Just as the crowd was gossiping, Su Yani and Jin Gang drove up.
The two were in no mood to exchange pleasantries with anyone. They imdiately grabbed a pile of expensive gifts and rushed toward Su Yanyun's house.
In that instant, everyone was left completely baffled.
