Chapter 204: Chapter 204: The Consequences of Angering Your Wife
Ye Ningwan was furious.
What do you mean?
Push your luck?
An apology doesn’t work?
Hmph, then she won’t apologize.
Angry, she took a step back, raising her eyebrow to interrogate, "So, are you planning to leave me? Do you want to break up with me?"
Zhan Hanjue: "..."
Who said anything about breaking up, did she even understand what he meant?
"I didn’t say leave you, much less break up. What I meant was..."
"You did say it, you clearly said it. Fine, break up then, leave me, I’m leaving."
Ye Ningwan didn’t wait for his explanation, interrupted him, and turned to call Wangyue to pack her bags.
Zhan Hanjue: "..."
"I didn’t say for you to leave."
"You said it, I heard it." Ye Ningwan struggled in anger.
Wangyue ran in asking, "Pack what luggage?"
"Wu," Zhan Hanjue called out.
Wu ran in.
"Throw her out." Zhan Hanjue commanded.
Wu nodded, coaxed Wangyue with promises of good food until she agreed to go out.
"You threw Wangyue out, do you think I won’t pack my own bags?" Ye Ningwan said angrily.
Zhan Hanjue, helpless, could only hug her and apologize: "I’m sorry, earlier I was too anxious and said the wrong thing, please don’t be mad."
Ye Ningwan curled her lips briefly but then stared sternly: "Just a small matter, just tell me properly, no need to shout, and then say you don’t want me. Do you think saying you don’t want me will scare me?"
"Yes, I’m the one who’s scared, how could I dare not want you, I’m afraid you’ll not want me." The man hugged her helplessly.
Seeing him so humble, given his usual domineering manner, Ye Ningwan couldn’t stay mad at him any longer.
"Alright, alright, I’m not mad at you anymore. I was also wrong in the past, but I have my reasons. Your grandmother came to see me, how could I not agree? Moreover, Leng Ziqing’s poisoning seemed suspicious, and I wanted to investigate the reason, find the person behind it. Good thing I went, I found out." Ye Ningwan said proudly.
Zhan Hanjue said, "I also sent people to investigate, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been so angry that you risked going."
"No wonder, so you also know who it is?"
"Li Qingqing."
At the mention of this name, Zhan Hanjue clenched his fist, his eyes cold.
All previous incidents lacked evidence, he could let them slide.
But he never thought she would try to harm Ye Ningwan.
This was something he couldn’t tolerate.
"This woman is deeply scheming, I wonder how you managed to spend so many years with her." Ye Ningwan shook her head.
Zhan Hanjue awkwardly explained in a low voice, "She wasn’t like that in front of me."
"That’s why she tricks innocent men like you."
"Us?"
"That Bai Qishu is most likely also tricked by her. I asked Bai Wenjing, Bai Qishu likes chasing stars, and Li Qingqing is consistently in the top three of the male otaku-killers ranking for consecutive years, Bai Qishu liking her is normal. If one’s idol asks them to do something, they would go all out."
"I’ve already had Wu send people to find Bai Qishu, with a witness and evidence, let’s see if she dares to deny it." Zhan Hanjue said coldly.
Ye Ningwan nodded.
Zhan Hanjue’s men had been watching Bai Qishu, they could indeed close the net.
As long as Bai Qishu was willing to tell the truth, it would not only cure Zhan Hanjue’s poison but also expose Li Qingqing’s crimes.
"Is Li Qingqing’s return to the entertainment industry manipulated by you?"
Ye Ningwan thought of this matter again, curiously asking.
Zhan Hanjue shook his head.
"Then how is she active again? Her previous scandal wasn’t enough to make her quit?"
"I don’t know who’s behind it, but they must have a strong background. Zhan Group doesn’t focus on the film industry, so I am powerless in this field." Zhan Hanjue explained.
Ye Ningwan thought silently, Li Qingqing truly seemed to have some powerful connections, she wondered who she had cozied up to now.
Wu’s people quickly brought Bai Qishu.
He was on holiday but hadn’t gone home, it was a coincidence.
Just as he was about to get in the car, Wu’s men dragged him down and secretly brought him back to the Zhan Family.
"What gives you the right to seize me, who are you people?"
Bai Qishu struggled.
On the way, he was tied up and gagged, only after being brought into the courtyard was the tape removed from his mouth.
Once the tape was ripped off, Bai Qishu struggled and questioned.
However, upon seeing Ye Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue, he immediately fell silent.
But soon, he awkwardly asked, "Why did you catch me? Divine Doctor Bai Zhi, our families have some history, treating me like this isn’t quite right!"
"What’s not right," Ye Ningwan said indifferently, "Your parents destroyed the Chasing Silk formula in front of my master back then. But you, an unfilial son, recreated it; if your parents knew, in the afterlife they’d be furious. You plotted against me, shouldn’t I treat you like this?"
"What Chasing Silk, I don’t understand, I didn’t recreate the formula. I’m not interested, I said this last time." Bai Qishu continued to deny.
Ye Ningwan chuckled, "You did mention that last time, but you slipped up. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be watching you. Denying is pointless now; admitting is better, or you’ll suffer for nothing if you confess after enduring hardships."
"You intend to use private means against me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll call the police?" Bai Qishu was furious.
Ye Ningwan laughed again, "Since I dared to bring you here, do you think I fear your calling the police? Wangyue, he’s yours, do whatever it takes to make him speak the truth."
Ye Ningwan called Wangyue in, handing Bai Qishu to her.
Wangyue nodded with a smile, "Alright, Miss Ye, don’t worry, I’ll get it out soon."
Wu doubted Wangyue could extract anything, this guy had a stubborn mouth.
Wangyue, a little girl who loves candied berries, how could she handle someone like this?
"Boss, let me do the questioning!" Wu said.
Ye Ningwan said, "Leave it to Wangyue, she’s better than you."
Wu couldn’t say anything more, after all, the boss hadn’t spoken.
Still, he doubted Ye Ningwan’s words.
Ye Ningwan didn’t bother explaining.
She sat with Zhan Hanjue sipping floral tea, waiting.
About an hour passed, Wangyue dragged back Bai Qishu, who seemed like a beaten dog.
She tossed him into the hall, kicked him, and said, "He agreed to say everything."
Wu was shocked, his eyes wide.
Looking at Bai Qishu, he saw no visible scars, yet he seemed half-dead, as if having undergone severe torture.
Ye Ningwan smiled at Bai Qishu, "Since you agreed to speak, go ahead! Otherwise, this little girl will take you for another round."
At the mention of "little girl" and "another round," Bai Qishu shivered with fear.
"I’ll say it, I’ll tell all. It was Li Qingqing who asked me to make the poison. When my parents destroyed the formula, I was still young, but I could read, so I secretly copied a version, unbeknownst to my parents. I didn’t expect Li Qingqing to find me, I liked her, and if she asked me, how could I refuse?"
What a reckless kid.
If the Bai Family couple were aware, seeing they had such a reckless child, would they be furious all over again?
