Chapter 935: Chapter 927: The Terrifying Person

The news of Liu Rui releasing the hostage quickly reached Tao Ji. He called directly and questioned, "Liu Rui, what the hell do you mean? You take people’s money to do things for them. Do you feel comfortable taking the money I gave you and then letting the hostage go?"

Liu Rui could hear the strong hostility in his voice, but he replied unceremoniously, "Do you remember what you did last time at the Zero Bar? I saw it very clearly. Don’t think I don’t know about the harm you’ve done to others. The money you gave me this time can be considered hush money for the last incident!"

"You dare to secretly monitor me, Liu Rui? This isn’t over between us." Tao Ji said furiously.

"I don’t have the leisure time to monitor you. This matter was told to me by a few of your good brothers who hang out with you! You didn’t expect that, did you?" Liu Rui finished saying this and hung up the phone.

Tao Ji never expected that the other party would hold such a significant leverage against him. He could only accept his bad luck this time, considering the money wasted as buying peace of mind. After all, he’s not lacking those few bucks. Tao Ji could only console himself this way, and he knew that Liu Rui was unlikely to easily reveal such matters.

Neither he nor Liu Rui were particularly clean people. They had more or less done some illegal things, so he wasn’t too worried about Liu Rui going to the Police Department to inform them about anything. Things like this were mostly used as leverage to threaten the other party.

Moreover, Liu Rui alone has so many people under him. Where does the money come from if not by relying on wealthy people like them? They are all in a mutually beneficial relationship, and as long as things don’t escalate too much, generally speaking, they can coexist harmoniously.

The more contact he had with Liu Rui, the more he discovered that Liu Rui’s brain was not something ordinary people could compare to.

His IQ must be above 200, and his emotional intelligence should be high too. Even though he doesn’t like talking to people and always shows a cold face, how could he manage those underlings without some brains?

He remembered the last time he looked for Liu Rui, but Liu Rui wasn’t there, so he chatted with a few of Liu Rui’s underlings for a while. At first, they talked lively, with one bragging so much almost boasting himself to heaven, when suddenly the room fell silent.

Someone said, "The boss is here; let’s retreat." With that, they immediately returned to their original positions, while Tao Ji was still looking around for Liu Rui. Someone cautiously told him, "He’s about to come in. I just saw him parking from the window." noveldrama

Tao Ji didn’t expect Liu Rui to have such a great deterrent effect. He could tell from their expressions that Liu Rui was usually a terrifying person.

When Liu Rui truly entered the house, Tao Ji noticeably felt a huge change in the room, as if the air suddenly solidified, the room temperature dropped to zero degrees, and those people didn’t dare breathe heavily. Tao Ji was quite scared by the situation.

However, he quickly recovered, comforting himself mentally: I have plenty of money, why fear him? He still needs to rely on me for food! But he still felt that his voice involuntarily softened a notch; he felt as if he’d never been so intimidated in his life. Ever since then, he dared not underestimate Liu Rui.

So even though Liu Rui didn’t get the job done this time after taking the money, he could only shout on the phone, not daring to confront Liu Rui face-to-face.

These days, Ren Xingyu hasn’t been idle either. After learning about Xiao Yifei’s matters, he’s been busy gathering evidence. Before Tang Rong obtained the videotape, he knew this case, no matter how it was fought, would definitely end up with Xiao Yifei losing the lawsuit. There was hardly any evidence favorable to Xiao Yifei, but even so, he was still working hard for the firm’s victory.

During this period, he’s been suffering like Tang Rong and the others, with Tang Rong exhausting physical strength and Ren Xingyu exhausting mental strength. He’s repeatedly reviewed Xiao Yifei’s case files numerous times, trying to find some different breakthrough points, hoping even the slightest clue would be beneficial.

Just as Ren Xingyu thought this case was doomed to fail, such a significant turnaround appeared. After reviewing the latest evidence, he was so satisfied that he took a shower and went to sleep.

Then everyone at Xiao Yifei’s side, Tang Rong, Fang Yu, Ren Xingyu, and others felt confident that tomorrow’s court session would go smoothly. After tomorrow, Xiao Yifei could come out, and those who had been busy for days could finally sleep well at night.

The person most tormented now would be Qian Huahua. Tomorrow, she would be attending court as both a victim and a witness. At the Police Department, to save her father, she had no choice but to lie. Tomorrow, does she have to continue lying? She’s been mulling over this issue in her mind these days, wondering whether to speak the truth, but if she does, her father might be in danger. Yet, if she lies, she’d be framing a good person and letting a real wrongdoer roam free.

Family devotion and justice, what a difficult choice it is. Why does she have to go through such things? She would rather wish she had never met Xiao Yifei, wish she had never fallen for him, then these subsequent events wouldn’t have happened. Her father repeatedly advised her that feelings can’t be compelled, but she just wouldn’t listen, persistently going her own way, only to find that her deep affection just moved herself.

Ultimately, it stirred such troubles, and she fervently wished that she was the one kidnapped, not knowing the hardships her father was enduring in Tao Ji’s hands. She really felt unfilial, seeing that her father was already quite elderly.

Qian Huahua turned and tossed in bed, unable to sleep, continually agonizing over these issues. If she eventually committed perjury, leading to Xiao Yifei being sentenced, she feared her conscience would never be at peace. She thought. She pondered this for half the night until near dawn when she felt a little sleepy and managed a brief nap.

But actually, although Dean Qian was said to be kidnapped, Tao Ji ordered his men to treat him politely. The old man was elderly, and if care wasn’t taken, even a huge amount of money couldn’t solve a fatal accident.

Therefore, Dean Qian was merely limited in freedom, kept in a small room with curtains drawn all day, and had meals delivered. Thus, he was living quite comfortably. Before, he had always been busy with hospital affairs and barely had any real vacation for years.

Now, this could be considered a special holiday, allowing him time to truly reflect on life’s almost entire journey. Life passes quickly; once, he always felt time wasn’t swift enough, but when old and nearing life’s end, he only realized how fast life passed, just like he hadn’t lived at all.
