“Maybe those old men will kick me out of the company, maybe even go bankrupt,” Xue Chenyan nodded seriously, then grinned. “But if Director Ji had evidence, would you be talking to me like this? As far as I know, you’ve never been this soft-hearted.”
He was very confident in his technology and actions, absolutely certain he’d left no trace, so he was sure Ji Zhixian was only talking to him calmly because he had no evidence.
“Want to bet whether I’m soft-hearted?” Ji Zhixian suddenly curved his mouth and smiled.
When Xue Chenyan looked at him, he felt a fearsome power in his pitch-black eyes that made his heart race and panic with just one glance.
Could he really have evidence?
Xue Chenyan couldn’t help but think.
But he quickly realized that if Ji Zhixian had evidence, he definitely wouldn’t have come to find him.
Yet his confident appearance seemed to suggest he did have something.
Xue Chenyan couldn’t help swallowing.
Though he had seen many business people under his father’s leadership and was accustomed to false pleasantries, he had never met someone so unreadable.
“During this time of stalking Xiaoman, I’ve made an interesting discovery,” he suddenly changed the subject. “I know who the man rumored to be keeping him is.”
Although he hated the man before him, he had to compromise at the critical moment: “I not only know who he is but also have photos of them going in and out together. Guess what happens if I post these photos online?”
Seeing Ji Zhixian remain silent, he continued, “What I want is simple. We just don’t interfere with each other. I’ll turn a blind eye to your affairs, and you’ll ignore mine. How’s that?”
Ji Zhixian suddenly stood up and looked deeply at Xue Chenyan: “It seems the negotiation has broken down today.”
He walked a few steps, then turned back and said, “Anyone who harms Lin Xiaoman, I will not let off.”
He spoke slowly, like a threat, and Xue Chenyan only felt a cold wind sweeping by, with chills rising from the soles of his feet.
This man was terrifying.
