“Even if it ans sacrificing the entire i family?” Ruan Li found it sowhat incredulous.
She really didn’t know whether to say i Shu was too naive or if she valued her relationship with Lu Si too much.
But relationships between n and won had always been temporary hormonal bursts. When the passion faded and the novelty decayed, the true hideous and detestable face would be revealed.
i Shu said, “It’s worth it. I keep my word. As long as what you say is worth sacrificing all that, 1 will never go back on my word.”
Ruan Li sat up straight, reexamining the girl in front of her who looked stern and serious. After a while, she said, “Then bring the contract tomorrow, and we’ll officially complete the transfer procedures.”
i Shu didn’t back down, “Tell everything you know first.”
“We need to complete the procedures first.” Ruan Li showed no sign of yielding.
The two were at a stalemate, and the tense atmosphere in the living room was almost suffocating.
i Shu remained calm, “I hope, Ms. Ruan, that you will consider carefully. At this point, once you step out of this door, Zhou Lin will know that you have betrayed him. If he goes back on his word, he will never let you go. At that ti, I will be the only one who can protect you.”
“You’re threatening .” Ruan Li narrowed her eyes, a hint of danger flashing alongside her greed.
i Shu responded with a smile, “This is a fact, Ms. Ruan. Once my people say a few words to Zhou Lin, you will completely lose his trust. All the money you’ve accumulated over the years will be in vain. What do you think he will choose to do to retaliate against you?”
Ruan Li and she stared at each other for a long ti, but in the end, Ruan Li relented and broke eye contact first, took a deep breath, and said, “Alright, I’ll tell you part of it. As for the rest, I’ll tell you after you transfer the company to . That’s my bottom line.”
i Shu was very satisfied, “Okay, let’s hear it. Let see your worth.”
Ruan Li stared at her silently for a long ti before saying, “The deaths of Su Huai and her husband years ago were indeed not an accident, but deliberate. The purpose was to prevent them from ever returning to the capital.”
i Shu instinctively tightened her grip on the armrest, her knuckles slightly pale, “Go on.”
Ruan Li exhaled slowly, “You should have investigated many things since coming to Wendith. You should have found out that the deaths of the two were due to an unidentified wild beast. Later, Wendith’s executives also issued a statent claiming that the wild beast had been shot dead. However, that report was quickly taken down, and the person who pressured the executives to retract the statent was Zhou Lin.”
In the instant her words fell, i Shu’s breath stopped abruptly, her tightly pursed lips revealing her tension, “Why?”
Ruan Li continued, “Because soone was pressuring him from behind, and this person is the one who truly knows the whole story.”
“Who?” Although she already had a vague answer in her heart, i Shu still wanted to hear the na from the person herself.
But Ruan Li shook her head at this mont, closed her eyes, and refused to say anything more, “If 1 say that na, I won’t be able to survive in Wendith. So, 1 need you to guarantee my safety. Bring the company to tomorrow, and I’ll tell you everything you want to know. Now, please go back, Miss i.”
i Shu suddenly stood up from the sofa, unusually losing her composure, her eyes red with tears, “Ruan Li! Finish what you were saying! 1 promised 1 would never go back on my word!”
Ruan Li also stood up, equally firm, “Miss i, it’s our first eting. There’s no reason for to trust you enough to entrust my entire life to you. If you really want to know what happens next, please pay what you should first. Otherwise, we have nothing further to discuss!”
i Shu clenched her fists suddenly, the joints creaking in the silent living room, “Fine, Ruan Li. Tomorrow, I will bring the contract and all the necessary procedures to find you. You wait for here. My people will protect your safety during this ti. Before 1 see you, don’t go anywhere.”
With that said, i Shu left in a hurry.
Ruan Li watched her back, tears welling up in her eyes. It wasn’t until she couldn’t see her anymore that she turned her gaze back and slumped back onto the sofa in despair.
As soon as i Shu got back to the car, she imdiately ordered Jiang Hai to personally ensure Ruan Li’s safety.
At first, Jiang Hai was still worried about i Shu, but seeing her pale face, he didn’t dare say much at this mont.
The manager drove i Shu to the entrance of the community, and she returned to her car. With a step on the gas pedal, the car almost flew.
She went straight to the law firm in Wendith and imdiately drafted a share and company transfer agreent.
She was afraid that if she was a step late, soone would target Ruan Li, burying that secret forever.
However, things happened faster than she expected.
Just as i Shu had drafted the agreent and confird that all the clauses were correct, she received an urgent call from Jiang Hai.
“Miss i, it’s bad. Miss Ruan has cut her wrist and attempted suicide.. She’s being rushed to the hospital!”
