Chapter 196: Killing Clan

In the Grammy Presidential Suite, Jiang Xue sat cross-legged on the sofa. Her posture was slightly ungraceful, but it was obvious that this little wild cat was very excited. Naturally, there were only the two of them in the suite at the moment; Sha Shun and Dachun had already gone to another room.

"Quick, tell me, what are you planning to do next?" she asked. "I suspect Ye Yuanhang won’t call the police anymore. I’m afraid he’s going to try and make you stay in Migu Country forever.

"But you don’t need to worry. Just sweet-talk me a little and call me ’pretty lady,’ and I’ll find a way to get you out. It’s no big deal!"

Jiang Xue felt particularly relaxed when she was with Lin Jian. Even though she knew this guy wasn’t a good person—that he was just a lecherous scoundrel—she found it interesting to hang out with a bad boy like him. Therefore, she had genuinely thought of an escape plan for him.

"Why would I leave?" Lin Jian replied. "I’ve already had someone pass a message to Ye Yuanhang. Within three days, I want him to publish a public statement in the newspaper canceling the engagement between Ye Ziqiu and Li Ziheng!

"If it doesn’t appear in the papers, then the game between him and me will escalate!"

"What?" Jiang Xue acted as if she had misheard him, her eyes practically popping out of their sockets. "You... you, you, you... Did you really say that?"

In that instant, she felt all the hairs on her body stand up. Most importantly, she felt a sense of clarity—a thrilling, ultimate sense of satisfaction! If Lin Jian had really said that, that was incredibly badass. He was such a real man!

"Of course. And nine times out of ten, Ye Yuanhang will agree!" Lin Jian smiled faintly.

"How do you know he’ll agree?"

"I just took in a few new underlings. They’re going to deal with Ye Yuanhang for me!"

"Uh... you took in underlings in San Francisco? No way? You..." Jiang Xue was speechless. What kind of thought process did Lin Jian have?

"Yeah, so basically, I don’t need to lift a finger now. My underlings can handle him."

"I don’t believe you!"

"Believe it or not, up to you!" Lin Jian pulled out a bank card and tossed it onto the coffee table. "You’re too carefree. After lending me the money, you just disappeared. I couldn’t even find you when I wanted to pay you back!

"Here is five million. Keep it safe!"

"Tch." Jiang Xue glanced at it, full of disdain.

"Well, I still have to thank you in person," Lin Jian smiled. "And thank you for trusting me!"

"Stop right there," Jiang Xue quickly cut him off. "Don’t try to get all sentimental with me. Let me tell you, I’m a lesbian. A little pervert like you has zero appeal to me. The only reason I lent you the money is because I knew you still had antiques to liquidate, so I knew you could pay me back.

"Also, I need to sleep. It’s almost dawn. You might not be tired, but I’m exhausted!"

Saying that, her petite figure hopped off the sofa. She glanced toward the door, clearly signaling for him to leave immediately!

"Do you want me to warm your bed? Let me tell you, I can—"

"Ziqiu is my best friend!" Jiang Xue stared at him coldly, not waiting for him to finish.

With just that one sentence, Lin Jian quickly shut his mouth. This guy was fine in every other aspect, but his mouth was begging to be punched! He practically ran out of Jiang Xue’s suite!

"Tch!" As soon as Lin Jian left, the little wild cat sneered. "All talk and no action. You’re nothing!"

Naturally, Lin Jian didn’t hear this. She was just grumbling and venting behind his back. While she had a good impression of Lin Jian, she also knew she had to maintain her distance. Otherwise, what would that make Ye Ziqiu? She could have a little feeling for him and think that he was a very manly guy, but she couldn’t show it. It was enough to just think about it in her heart.

Mr. Jiangnan, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sanjiang Group, had once told her something: A person cannot live without desires, for without them, they would lose the joy of life. However, one must also learn to control their desires. As long as you can control your most overwhelming desire, you are not far from success!

In reality, many people often couldn’t control their desires and ended up stealing their best friend’s boyfriend. Examples of this were everywhere! But Jiang Xue was a proud little woman, so she disdained doing such shameless things. Admiring him was one thing, but taking that admiration and trying to claim him for herself was another matter entirely.

After leaving the suite, Lin Jian completely forgot about what had just happened. He was inherently foul-mouthed and liked to flirt, but if he were asked to get real, he might not actually have the guts.

At 3:15 AM, a fire broke out at a warehouse on the San Francisco pier. This warehouse was one of Ye Yuanhang’s underground properties, containing a massive amount of electronic components he was planning to smuggle overseas!

Ye Yuanhang, who was on his way to his old estate, nearly had a heart attack when he received the news. That was an order worth nearly 200 million US Dollars! And it was burned?

He suddenly felt a burning urge to tear Lin Jian into ten thousand pieces. In fact, at this moment, he even hated Ye Ziqiu!

It was all the trouble brought about by this "Baihu Girl."

Yes, this niece of his was a Baihu jinx. When she was little, a Physiognomist had calculated that she would curse the Killing Clan. And now, it seemed it was truly coming to pass, little by little!
