The boss was called Sunzhi. As he was rather skilled in fighting, he had over a dozen lackeys under him. They were all originally security guards who received some professional training, which explained their ability to fight. In the east, they were figures who nobody dared to offend.
Wen Xinya and Zhong Rufeng were brought to a small bar by Sunzhi. The air in the bar was shrouded in smoke, and all the hooligans were either gathered to smoke or drinking together. It was an extremely unpleasant environment.
Sunzhi led Wen Xinya to the basement. “When will she get here?” Wen Xinya asked.
Sunzhi pondered and replied, “I think around half an hour!”
Wen Xinya then turned away and stood silently. Who knew what she was thinking at this moment?
Zhong Rufeng frowned. Looking at Wen Xinya, he felt really uneasy. “Xinya, what are you going to do? Why are you luring that person to a place like this?”
Wen Xinya replied, “I’ve always been one to take revenge. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”
Zhong Rufeng thought she was taking things too far. Yet, he had no idea how to convince her to stop.
Wen Xinya understood the expression on Zhong Rufeng’s face. Her expression turned dark as she continued, “I’ll not let anyone who tries to hurt me get off easily. She may have failed this time around, but what about the next time? Or the time after that? It’s not my nature to remain passive when I clearly know that somebody is trying to cause me harm.”
Zhong Rufeng couldn’t utter a single word. He knew that Wen Xinya would have been badly hurt if he had not reached in time just now. “I may not know if you are doing the right thing or not, but I will not get in your way.”
Zhong Rufeng was not naive. He knew better than anybody else the hidden corruption that existed within the circle. As such, although he was unsure of Wen Xinya’s course of action, he would not easily judge her for it.
“I’ll only attack when I’m being attacked. And when I do so, I’ll make sure to hit back a hundred times harder. I’m going to teach that person an unforgettable lesson so that she’ll never dare to come after me again.”
After hearing Zhong Rufeng’s words earlier, Wen Xinya saw him in a new light. The bad feeling she had of him was completely gone. Zhong Rufeng was not only a righteous man but also a fair judge. A person like him had a strong set of values that would not be swayed by any law, yet knew to follow certain rules as was proper. Such a person was worthy to make connections with. It was no wonder he could achieve such a great position in the previous life.
Zhong Rufeng nodded and did not say anything further.
After waiting for a while, one of Sunzhi’s underlings led the black cad Jiang Ruoyin into the basement. “Can I really watch Wen Xinya getting raped in this basement?”
In a swift movement, the underling bolted out of the room and locked the door.
Feeling that something was not right, Jiang Ruoyin rushed to the door and began knocking furiously. “What are you doing? Why have you locked me in the basement? Let me go! I’m Jiang Ruoyin of the Jiang family, you can’t do this to me!”
“Miss Jiang, nobody’s going to care about you no matter how hard you hit the door.” Wen Xinya slowly emerged from the shadows of the basement. There was a glint of mischief in her eyes.
Jiang Ruoyin turned her head immediately and saw Wen Xinya standing behind her. At that moment, she realized that not only did Sunzhi not help her kidnap Wen Xinya, he even tricked her into coming here. Her face twisted in anger. “Wen Xinya, you b*tch. Making Sunzhi lie to make me come here. What do you want? Let me warn you, you better let me go now or I won’t let you off.”
Wen Xinya snickered. “You’ve tried so many times to hurt me. How can I repay your ‘favor’ if I don’t teach you a lesson?”
Jiang Ruoyin’s face grimaced. Although she was glaring at Wen Xinya with hatred, there was still a trace of glee in her eyes. “I’m Miss Jiang of the Jiang family, what can you do to me? You’re just bluffing. Do you really think I’ll be scared of you?”
“Sunzhi, take off her clothes.” Wen Xinya scorned at Jiang Ruoyin. Even the astounding beauty of her delicate red lips was chilling.
Sunzhi walked towards Jiang Ruoyin.
All color was drained from Jiang Ruoyin’s panicked face. She took a step back with her weak body, trembling. Looking at Wen Xinya in disbelief, she cried out, “Wen Xinya, you b*tch! You can’t do this to me. The Jiang family will never let this go.”
Wen Xinya looked at Jiang Ruoyin with a faint smile and replied, “Wow! What can’t I do to you?”
As she watched Sunzhi getting closer to her, Jiang Ruoyin’s mind went blank as she panicked. When she recalled the things she had ordered Sunzhi do to Wen Xinya, she was so terrified she did not even have the energy left to escape.
To further demonstrate her point, Wen Xinya smiled really sweetly while peering down at Jiang Ruoyin condescendingly, as if she was just an ant crawling on the group. “A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. You wanted people to violate me and take explicit photos and videos…” Suddenly, the corner of her lips dropped and her expression turned dark and stern. She glared at Jiang Ruoyin with her bright yet chilling eyes, filled with coldness. “So why can’t I do the same to you?”
When she laughed, the stars twinkling in her eyes were full of fascination. The moment she stopped, it was as if the devil had taken over. She was callous to the bone, cold and unfeeling. Sudden remorse washed over Jiang Ruoyin and she regretted all her actions. Wen Xinya was not a person she could afford to go against.
Sunzhi was already standing right in front of Jiang Ruoyin. As he reached out to take off her clothes, Jiang Ruoyin’s legs gave out and she collapsed in front of Wen Xinya. “Wen Xinya, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have fought you or tried to harm you. I’ll apologize. Please let me off. I’ll never dare to do anything that would hurt you ever again. I beg you…” she wailed.
Sunzhi’s hand stopped in midair, unsure of what to do after seeing Jiang Ruoyin like this.
Wen Xinya was unmoved and stared at her with a piercing glare. “You would not have done it if you knew this was going to happen. You sowed your own seeds of evil and now you have to bear the consequences. Don’t think that there will always be someone to cover for you no matter what mistakes you make.”
Jiang Ruoyin crawled pathetically to Wen Xinya’s feet. In between sobs, she begged. “Wen Xinya, I was wrong… I’ve really learned my lesson… please… don’t do this to me… please…”
Zhong Rufeng frowned. He looked at Wen Xinya as if he wanted to say something. It was clear he wanted to plead for Jiang Ruoyin.
Wen Xinya cast him a look. “Don’t forget, she has the backing of the Jiang family.”
Zhong Rufeng could only sigh in annoyance.
“Wen Xinya, don’t do this to me. No…” Jiang Ruoyin bawled on the floor as her body trembled uncontrollably.
