Chapter 1198: Chapter 1245: If You Don’t Seek Death, You Won’t Die
He Fangqing took a deep breath and said, "You’re asking for too much, I don’t have that much money."
Chen Mingsheng waved his finger and said, "You’re the financial director. It may be difficult to do other things, but is it really difficult to get so money or cook the books? That’s a huge company with assets worth tens of billions. Is it really that hard to embezzle ten or twenty million?"
He Fangqing said angrily, "That’s a cri, do you want to get
killed?"
"Director He, how could this be harming you? You’ve been in finance for so many years; can’t you handle this little thing? Don’t scare ."
"You... You know that if this gets out, I will definitely be convicted."
"Haha, you’ll definitely be able to handle it."
After all, the man before her was soone she had once deeply loved, but now he would do anything for money without any concern for her life. Such a person can’t even be described as human.
Shaking her head vigorously, He Fangqing said, "Even ten million is way too much; it’s too difficult for
to do this."
"No rush, I’m a very reasonable person. You can pay in installnts, one million a month. But in that case, you’ll need to pay over a year, which ans an extra two million, consider it interest."
"Can you be any more shaless?"
"He Fangqing!" Chen Mingsheng slamd the armrest of the chair forcefully and shouted loudly, "You were the one who ruthlessly ended things with . So why should I have any consideration for you?"
He Fangqing looked at Chen Mingsheng, whose aggressive stance weakened under her piercing gaze. At that mont, He Fangqing tilted her head back and laughed out loud, while Chen Mingsheng, lacking confidence, demanded, "What are you laughing at?"
"What a thing to say, that I ended things with you... Chen Mingsheng, originally I was thinking of just giving you so money and getting the photos back, but you have been so shaless that I no longer owe you any sentint. Do you think I’m still the old He Fangqing? Do you think I’m still that naive person who you could easily play and dump, only leaving
to cry on my own? Let
tell you, that He Fangqing is dead. The current He Fangqing is not soone a small fry like you can manipulate."
Chen Mingsheng was pushed back two steps by He Fangqing’s words, but he imdiately puffed out his chest and said, "You think you can intimidate ? Don’t think just because you’re a financial director with so connections that it’s enough. You should know, if I release these photos, your reputation will be ruined and you’ll lose everything you have now."
"Who says so?" A voice ca from the doorway, and then the door opened, and Li Yifei had already entered.
"Husband!"
"Li Yifei!"
He Fangqing and Chen Mingsheng both exclaid in surprise.
Without even glancing at Chen Mingsheng, Li Yifei went over to He Fangqing and said softly, "Fangqing, it’s not that I’ve been following you. It was just by chance that Sophia saw you, and that’s how I ended up here."
Li Yifei explained as soon as he arrived, which brought tears to He Fangqing’s eyes, but what’s more important is that the matter she’s dealing with now is a humiliation for Li Yifei and sothing He Fangqing finds hard to face him with.
Li Yifei patted He Fangqing’s shoulder and said softly, "Since I am with you, it ans I don’t care about your past. No matter what you’ve done before, it’s all in the past. You’re my wife He Fangqing, got it?"
He Fangqing looked up at Li Yifei, unable to stop the tears from flowing. Her emotions were truly complicated at that mont.
"Ah, I didn’t expect the chairman of the mighty Li Group to be your husband, Fangqing. What explosive news that is. And if it’s paired with a few of your nude photos, wouldn’t that be even more sensational?"
Only then did Li Yifei turn his head to glance at Chen Mingsheng and slowly said, "If you know what’s good for you, I’ll give you one million. Hand over all the photos."
"One million?" Chen Mingsheng laughed loudly twice and said darkly, "Do you think I’m begging for money? She’s your wife now, the wife of Chairman Li. Do you really think these photos are only worth one million?"
At that mont, Chen Mingsheng was extrely smug. If it were just He Fangqing, he would at most want ten million, but now that it involved a big boss of a tens of billions company, if he didn’t ask for a hundred million, it wouldn’t be enough.
With a sly grin, he said, "Chairman Li, I know you’re rich and care about your image, so I won’t ask you for too much. Just one billion, and afterwards, there will never be any of He Fangqing’s photos leaked. I will also disappear from Mile City. What do you think?"
"Your appetite sure isn’t small," Li Yifei said indifferently, his face expressionless.
"One billion, huh? That’s just a trivial matter for you, isn’t it?"
Chen Mingsheng smiled shalessly, already thinking about how he would spend this billion and imagining that he would never have to use a woman to rise in status or read people’s faces ever again.
He Fangqing, furious, shouted, "Chen Mingsheng, could you be even more shaless?"
Still with that insincere smile, Chen Mingsheng replied, "Since I’m already shaless, I might as well be thoroughly shaless. With the money, you can live a happy life. Isn’t that great? Fangqing, let
be the first to congratulate you, wishing you luck in finding such a wealthy husband."
He Fangqing gritted her teeth and said, "You’re congratulating yourself on finding a cash cow to milk for a large sum, aren’t you?"
"Haha, don’t say that. After all, you’ll be a billionaire’s wife, and , just getting a little spending money, isn’t too much, is it?"
"You... you..." He Fangqing trembled all over with anger.
Li Yifei wrapped his arms around He Fangqing’s waist, speaking slowly: "Okay, I’ll give it to you, but I’ll give you the money tomorrow."
"That’s the spirit, Chairman Li is indeed a man of his word, admirable. Then let’s agree on tomorrow." Chen Mingsheng imdiately agreed.
Li Yifei nodded and said, "Wife, let’s go then."
He Fangqing protested urgently: "Husband, no, we can’t give him that much money."
Li Yifei smiled faintly and said, "Money is ant to be earned. I can’t let you suffer the slightest grievance. Anyone who causes you grief will be punished."
"But..."
"A little money, it’s nothing. Let’s go." Li Yifei exerted a small force with his arm, hugging He Fangqing as he walked out.
Despite her extre reluctance, He Fangqing couldn’t voice any objections as Li Yifei had made his decision. However, her mood was terribly sour, not because of the money, but because this situation made her unsure of how to face Li Yifei now.
Having descended the stairs, He Fangqing sat in Li Yifei’s car, head down, overwheld with guilt and a deep sense of powerlessness.
Li Yifei didn’t speak either. Instead, he brought He Fangqing to a place, and it was only when she realized this wasn’t her ho did she start looking around.
"Rember this place?" Li Yifei asked as he pulled He Fangqing to sit down.
He Fangqing looked more carefully and recognized that this was a bar; she then rembered what place this was and stuttered: "This is... this is... the bar where we first t."
"Right, this bar," he replied.
"Why... why did you bring
here?" He Fangqing asked nervously.
Li Yifei smiled slightly and said, "This is where we first t. Even then, I knew you were a divorced woman. Now let
ask you, if I wanted to take your nude photos now, would you let ?"
"Of course I would!" He Fangqing answered without hesitation.
Li Yifei continued: "There you have it. Back then, Chen Mingsheng was your husband, so naturally, you’d let him take such photos. It’s a normal thing. If I minded that, it would an I also minded that you had been married before."
After a pause, Li Yifei added, "Now that you’re with , you have to see
with other won every day. What’s more upsetting—photos, or seeing it in real life?"
"I’m not upset now, am I?"
"You’ve grown accustod to it. But the reality is that I’m with other won, and if that bothers you, then you can’t be with . Your sacrifices for
have been imnse. Compared to your past, how could I possibly mind?"
"Husband... I... I really don’t rember letting him take nude pictures of ." Tears started to flow uncontrollably from He Fangqing’s eyes.
Li Yifei patted the back of He Fangqing’s hand and said, "Alright, I believe you. Don’t think too much about it. You have to be clear, you’re my wife now—that’s all you need to rember."
He Fangqing nodded, but her heart was still twisted in knots. She didn’t know if Li Yifei would truly be undisturbed upon seeing such photos. n are usually very sensitive about these matters.
"Husband... are you really going to give that guy the money?" He Fangqing brought up another concern, looking at Li Yifei.
Li Yifei shook his head and said, "I won’t give it to him. I, Li Yifei, am not soone easily intimidated."
"What about the photos?" He Fangqing asked anxiously.
"Don’t worry, the photos will never be leaked." He Fangqing took He Fangqing’s hand in his and said somberly, "So people, they dig their own graves; they can’t bla anyone else for what happens."
"What... what are you going to do to him?" He Fangqing asked cautiously.
"If I told you I wouldn’t let him appear in this world again, would you bla ?"
He Fangqing bit her lip and said, "I don’t bla you. You are my husband, and he’s soone with ill intentions towards , utterly shaless at that. But I don’t want our Li family to suffer any consequence because of such a scum. Lin Qiong is an upright police officer, and if she finds out, she would be unhappy as well."
Li Yifei nodded and said, "Then rest assured. If I, Li Yifei, can’t handle even this small matter, that would be too incompetent."
Those who do not court death will not die. It was Chen Mingsheng’s actions that, for the first ti, made Li Yifei feel murderous intent toward an ordinary person.
