The warm silence made An Nuan's face a little ugly.
In the next second, she seemed indifferent again.
After all, to her now, An Nuan was just a powerless little white rabbit. She only needed to lift her little finger and An Nuan would be dead without a place to be buried!
Thinking of the shame An Nuan had caused her these days, the loss of face, and the loss of Ye Jinghuai, she could finally get her revenge without restraint!
The cruel smile that suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth made An Nuan's heart skip a beat.
She knew very clearly what Tong Zhitong was going to do to her now.
She had to find a way to protect herself.
She controlled her panicked emotions and said, "Tong Zhitong, what do you want?"
"What do I want?!" Tong Zhitong sneered, "What do you think I brought you to this godforsaken place for after putting in so much effort?! Of course it's to kill you and destroy the evidence!"
The four words "kill to keep silent" still made An Nuan's heart tremble a little.
Her throat moved slightly as she kept her voice as calm as possible and said, "Murder is punishable by death in Beiwen Nation."
"That's why I have to secretly kill you without anyone knowing!"
"Why do you have to?!" An Nuan asked Tong Zhitong. She really didn't expect this woman to go crazy to this extent. "It was just a normal business competition loss and gain. This time I won a small victory, next time it could be your major victory. Do you have to go to such extremes over such a small matter?! If someone finds out you killed me, you won't live either! Why take such a risk?"
"Small matter?!" Tong Zhitong laughed.
She laughed even more mockingly.
"Having you embarrass me, taking Ye Jinghuai from me, you think these are still small matters?! An Nuan, you really shouldn't be so high-profile. The more high-profile you are, the easier it is to die!"
"I just think that doing this kind of thing won't benefit either of us. You don't have to push yourself to this point because of me. I admit I did embarrass you before. But now, I'm covered in injuries, which can be considered your punishment of me. Let's call it even." An Nuan tried to persuade her.
Of course Tong Zhitong would not be so easily persuaded.
She said coldly, "An Nuan, although I stumbled in front of you, I'm not stupid. If I let you go now, you'll turn around and call the cops. Even if the police can't find evidence against me, you can still incite Ye Jinghuai and the others against me. How could I still live?!"
"I won't call the police or tell Ye Jinghuai anything." An Nuan asserted.
"I only believe the words of dead people."
An Nuan was clearly rendered speechless by Tong Zhitong's words.
"An Nuan, actually I could tolerate everything else. You schemed against me and made me sign the loss contract with Wen Shan resulting in huge financial losses. You schemed against me so I couldn't get any benefits from Serena's new product launch conference. You exposed Wen Shan's scandals and embarrassed me in front of the media. I still wouldn't have been driven to the point of having to kill you for those things. Do you know the only thing I absolutely cannot accept?"
It was Ye Jinghuai.
An Nuan knew.
Tong Zhitong also knew An Nuan understood clearly, but she still enunciated word for word, "No one in this world except me has the right to own Ye Jinghuai."
"Killing me still won't make Ye Jinghuai yours." An Nuan asserted.
Tong Zhitong's expression instantly turned extremely cold.
"You and Ye Jinghuai were together for so many years. If he wanted to be with you, you would have been together long ago instead of giving me the opportunity to step in. Now that Ye Jinghuai is with me, it proves he has absolutely no feelings for you..."
"Slap!" Tong Zhitong delivered a harsh slap across An Nuan's face.
At that time An Nuan was extremely weak physically.
She had to control her tone just to speak without collapsing. Being suddenly slapped by Tong Zhitong directly knocked her to the ground.
She fell heavily.
It took An Nuan quite some time to recover from the shock.
Seeing An Nuan so helpless, the cruel smile at the corner of Tong Zhitong's mouth grew even more vicious.
Just thinking of how An Nuan used to be so arrogant in front of her, and now so miserable, she felt extremely delighted.
She squatted down, grabbed An Nuan's chin, and forced her to look at her hideous face.
She said, "Ye Jinghuai likes this face of yours?"
Panic was evident in An Nuan's eyes.
"You said, if I stab up your face with a knife, do you think Ye Jinghuai would still like you?!"
"Tong Zhitong, aren't you really afraid?" An Nuan's eyes suddenly tightened.
There was a sudden burst of ferocity.
Giving people a chill down their spine.
Tong Zhitong looked at An Nuan resentfully.
Even if she shivered for a second, she would never actually be afraid of An Nuan.
An Nuan was merely bluffing.
"With Ye Jinghuai's intelligence, do you really think he wouldn't find out it was you who killed me?!" An Nuan threatened.
Since persuasion didn't work.
She could only fight back.
She said, "Once Ye Jinghuai finds out, don't you think he would avenge me?!"
"He won't find out." Tong Zhitong stated decisively. "Ye Jinghuai has gone to the capital city and doesn't even know you're in trouble. By the time he comes back and finds out, I would have already returned to the capital city. You should know very clearly that in everyone's mind, I'm supposed to still be in the capital city. I created all the false impressions so Ye Jinghuai wouldn't suspect me. Even if he does suspect me, he can't find evidence against me. An Nuan, I've been by Ye Jinghuai's side for so many years. Do you think I don't have these petty tricks up my sleeve?! If that was the case, I would have died by Ye Jinghuai's side hundreds of times already!"
An Nuan looked at Tong Zhitong, looking at her extremely arrogant appearance.
Killing her was clearly premeditated instead of a spur of the moment decision.
"That's right." It seemed Tong Zhitong noticed An Nuan's doubts. She gloated, "On the day you married Ye Jinghuai, I had wanted to kill you already. But I felt killing you easily would be letting you off too lightly. So I wanted to teach you a lesson first, let you know how powerful I am, then slowly look for a chance to kill you. I didn't expect that on the contrary, you managed to make me so miserable. Fortunately no matter how capable you are, did you ever think I would kill you?! You can be as capable as you want, but in the end you still lost to me!"
"Don't you consider the consequences at all?" An Nuan asked her.
"There are no consequences!" Tong Zhitong stated bluntly.
"What if I tell you I already informed Ye Jinghuai before the accident happened? What would you do?!" An Nuan said coldly.
Tong Zhitong was clearly stunned for a second.
Then.
She laughed, "As if I'd believe you."
"Believe it or not, up to you..."
"Even if it's true, it doesn't matter." Tong Zhitong directly interrupted An Nuan.
An Nuan's expression changed slightly.
"Yes, Ye Jinghuai also wouldn't come back for your sake. After all, compared to what Ye Jinghuai is doing now by going to the capital city, you're truly worthless." Tong Zhitong spoke assuredly.
She didn't seem to be deliberately deceiving her.
So.
What kind of shocking, secret affair was Ye Jinghuai hiding from everyone?!
