Chapter 2122 - 2095: Time for You to Consider
"Of course, I understand."
The masked man smiled slightly and said, "So, I didn’t intend to treat you like a child and fool you. I’ve long known that you, Miss Bai, wouldn’t trust me, and I also don’t want to say much. I don’t have the time to waste words, but I have a video to show you, Miss Bai. If, after watching this video, you still refuse, then we can both go our separate ways. I promise not to bother you again, Miss Bai."
With that, the masked man took out a phone from his pocket, selected a video, and played it, showing the screen to Bai Zhiqing.
Bai Zhiqing initially scoffed at the mention of a video by the masked man, but when she saw the footage displayed on the screen, she was stunned. Her entire body felt as if it had been struck by lightning, and her exquisite face turned deathly pale, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.
The video showed nothing else but her grandparents and her sister, Bai Weiwei, shopping together. However, judging by the angle of the footage, it was clear that the person filming was very close to her grandparents and had premeditated this, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to capture the changes in expressions on her grandparents’ and sister’s faces.
The masked man observed Bai Zhiqing’s reaction closely, and the corners of his mouth curled into a slight smile. "Miss Bai, isn’t this video fascinating? Do you think at such a close distance, my people couldn’t kill them if they wanted to? You can tell them about this, or you can tell Lu Tianxing, but it won’t matter. The people I’m determined to kill, no one can stop me, not even Lu Tianxing. Unless you can ensure their safety every single moment, twenty-four hours a day, even while eating and drinking cautiously, otherwise, they’re bound to die by my hands someday. Miss Bai, do you believe that?"
Upon hearing the words of the masked man, Bai Zhiqing fell into silence, unable to utter a single word. She knew Lu Tianxing was powerful, but her grandparents and Bai Weiwei were just ordinary people. If someone targeted her grandparents and Bai Weiwei every day, they would definitely die, even if surrounded by countless experts.
After all, even a tiger has its naps. Once it dozes off, it dies with nowhere to bury its bones.
The masked man watched Bai Zhiqing’s expression and a satisfied, scheming smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
...
Bai Zhiqing left, finally departing in a daze.
Watching Bai Zhiqing’s desolate departing figure, the smug smile on the masked man’s face grew more pronounced. He took a light sip from the cup of coffee before him, "This coffee is nice, really nice, it has a taste of freedom that Shu coffee lacks."
As soon as the masked man finished speaking, the door to the private room was slowly pushed open from the outside, and a figure appeared inside.
The newcomer was dressed in a tailored suit, exuding an aura of superiority, but his face appeared somewhat sullen, and his eyes carried a hint of malevolence, giving one the feeling of being stared at by a serpent — eerie and terrifying.
"Yang Family Master, you’re here."
Upon seeing the man who unexpectedly intruded, the masked man slowly raised his hand and removed the mask from his face, revealing a sharply contoured visage that could drive countless women wild with screams.
This masked man was none other than Tang Qingyun, and the man who suddenly appeared was indeed the current head of the Yang Family, Yang Anlong.
Upon hearing Tang Qingyun’s words, Yang Anlong did not speak immediately but sat opposite Tang Qingyun, poured himself a cup of coffee, took a sip, and then continued, "Young Master Tang, why didn’t you capture Bai Zhiqing just now to threaten Lu Tianxing? Why did you let her go?"
Tang Qingyun, hearing Yang Anlong’s words, replied with a light smile, "Yang Family Master, haven’t you heard the saying that to make someone truly fall, the best way is to first destroy their heart? If Lu Tianxing realizes the reason for his ultimate failure is not me, but Bai Zhiqing’s betrayal, what do you think will happen? Don’t you believe that such an ending is the most intriguing, the most perfect?"
Originally, Tang Qingyun had intended to confront Lu Tianxing head-on, but changes in the situation prevented him from waiting until the fifth day of the next month for a direct confrontation. Moreover, Lu Tianxing had humiliated Chen Changwu in a restaurant, forcing him to kneel and crawl out. Although it wasn’t he kneeling before Lu Tianxing.
However, Chen Changwu was his proxy placed as the Alliance Hierarch of the Qingtian Alliance, representing him, Tang Qingyun. Now, Chen Changwu knelt before Lu Tianxing, pleading for his life, just as if he, Tang Qingyun, were kneeling before Lu Tianxing. Since that’s the case, don’t blame him for being unkind.
This time, he not only wanted to see Lu Tianxing dead but wanted him to die amidst endless hatred. That was the greatest blow, the greatest destruction to a person.
Hearing Tang Qingyun’s words, Yang Anlong chuckled lightly, "Young Master Tang, aren’t you afraid Bai Zhiqing won’t cooperate? Or even tell Lu Tianxing, making all your efforts in vain."
"Bai Zhiqing doesn’t dare."
Tang Qingyun wore a confident smile, "As long as Bai Zhiqing is intelligent enough, she won’t tell Lu Tianxing about this because she has no other choice. Even if she informs Lu Tianxing, it will be useless. She won’t be able to find where my people are hiding, nor will she know when they will appear. Unless she can keep her grandparents and sister in a room twenty-four hours a day, even eating and drinking cautiously, she might as well tell Lu Tianxing if she’s willing to see this happen. Otherwise, she must obediently do as I say."
"This time, I’m curious whether in Bai Zhiqing’s heart, her man is more important, or her family is more important."
As he spoke, Tang Qingyun again raised his cup and took a light sip, enjoying the rich aroma of the coffee spreading across his tongue.
Watching Tang Qingyun’s confident smile, Yang Anlong expressed his admiration, "Young Master Tang, you truly live up to being the most outstanding genius in the Tang Family in the last two decades. I’m impressed, truly impressed."
Tang Qingyun smiled faintly and said, "Yang Family Master, you need not flatter me. These are just minor schemes, nothing significant. Our real targets are Lu Tiankuang and Jiang Liufeng, those two old bastards. Once we join forces to eliminate those two, that’s when we have something worth celebrating."
At this point, a touch of seriousness flickered in Tang Qingyun’s eyes.
