“Fine. Song Xiaocao, I’ll ask you two last questions. How did you know about Sun Jianzhao and me? How much do you know? Who else knows about this matter?”
As she was saying this, Liu Shiying had already brought Song Wei to a cramped corner where there was no one and no surveillance cameras.
The smile that she had been trying her best to keep calm finally collapsed, revealing a trace of panic.
Of course, Song Wei could not possibly tell the truth and only brushed it off in a roundabout manner. “You don’t have to ask about that. I naturally have my ways.”
“You must be Madam Jiang’s lackey.” Liu Shiying lowered her voice.
“From the beginning, I found it strange why PARADISES would go overboard to block Sky Palace’s path, while you—a small assistant—have such exceptional capability that you can go anywhere you want. As such, you can only be related to that Madam Jiang.”
Song Wei smiled slightly, but her smile was so profound that no one could guess what she was thinking. “It’s your business what guesses you make. I’m the one in charge now. No matter who I am, you can only do as I say.”
Liu Shiying gritted her teeth and said to Song Wei coldly, “Don’t you be so smug either. You have no idea how terrifying Sun Jianzhao’s wife is. If you really expose this matter, I won’t be the only one to die.”
Song Wei looked nonchalant. “I’m not the one who seduced her husband anyway.”
“She values her face more than her life. She would only wish to poison anyone who knows about her family’s scandal to death to silence them. Do you think you can escape her?”
Song Wei said calmly, “Things have already e to this point. You don’t have to say all these to scare me anymore.”
“…”
“I’ll cut to the chase. I want to see your apology press conference tomorrow. That’s all.”
With that, Song Wei squeezed past Liu Shiying and left straight away.
Liu Shiying wanted to stop her, but after thinking about it, she retracted her hand in the end and could only stomp her feet in anger.
Actually, Song Wei didn’t have any evidence in her hands. She only saw the label on Liu Shiying’s head through her special power.
She would probably expose herself to a shrewd person like Liu Shiying if she continued to cross swords with her head-on.
However, she did actually mind Liu Shiying’s words a little.
The Zhou family behind the Juye Corporation was actually a mafia family that had legalized their properties in recent years. In the early years, they sold drugs, weapons, and ammunition in various countries and mitted all kinds of heinous crimes.
There were even rumors that they had a well-equipped mercenary army. As long as the Zhou family needed it, these well-trained mercenaries could turn into hit men at any moment and silently eliminate the thorn in their side.
Sun Jianzhao’s wife was rumored to possess an extreme personality and cruel methods. People who knew her privately called her the Bloody Mary of the East.
As Song Wei thought of this, she frowned.
She took out her phone and called Jiang Mingxu.
When she was feeling uneasy at such a time, only Jiang Mingxu seemed to be able to give her a bit of strength.
The call quickly connected, but it was a melodious female voice that rang out. “Hello, Mingxu went to a meeting and left his phone in the office. May I know who you are? If there’s anything urgent, I can help you pass it on.”
Song Wei could tell that this was not the tone of a secretary.
If Jiang Mingxu’s secretary had dared to call him by his name, she would have been fired long ago.
However, this woman’s tone was filled with familiarity towards Jiang Mingxu. What other close little sister was she?
“I’m Mrs. Jiang, and who are you?” Song Wei cut to the chase and declared her authority.
Only then did the woman on the other end of the line seem to ‘realize’ things. She quickly apologized in a coquettish voice, “So you’re Mingxu’s wife. I’m so sorry. I simply picked up the call without looking at the caller ID just now. Hello, Mrs. Jiang. I’m Mingxu’s former girlfriend. My name is Fang Can.”
“Ex-girlfriend?”
She had just had a younger ‘sister’ leave when another ex appeared.
Song Wei realized that she indeed did not know Jiang Mingxu very well. Perhaps, this ex of his had appeared in her previous life, too. However, she had not cared about Jiang Mingxu’s whereabouts at all. Therefore, she probably did not know anything even if Jiang Mingxu had rekindled his old flame with this woman outside.
Thinking up to this point, Song Wei’s hands tensed up.
However, Fang Can appeared especially relaxed and enthusiastic. “Don’t think too much. I spent quite a short time together with Mingxu. It was just two to three months. At that time, I insisted on staying in Russia to learn ballet, but Mingxu had just taken over the family business and was especially busy, so the relationship ended indefinitely.”
“Oh, I’m not interested in asking about his past. I just want to know why you’re looking for him.”
“Oh, Mrs. Jiang, don’t be so fierce to me.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I need to be polite to an ex-girlfriend who casually picked up my husband’s phone to take his call.”
