He Wenyan revealed a flamboyant smile, hands on her hips, as she looked down at Wen Zhi with a contemptuous gaze.
"All you have to do is promise me you'll never appear in front of my brother again, and I can let you go."
Not appear?
Impossible!
How could she ever forget what He Hanjin had done to her five years ago!
Now they may choose to forget the past, but she can't!
Wen Zhi curved her lips into a smile, unfazed even at the sight of these two tall and unfamiliar men.
"You must be misunderstanding something. Between He Hanjin and me, it's not that I can't let go of him, but rather he can't let go of me. Otherwise, how would he obediently crawl to my side at just one beckon from me?"
To top it off, Wen Zhi added insult, "You bro really underplays his talent by not always acting like a dog."
He Wenyan's eyes reddened completely, filled with boundless fury.
This despicable woman dared to call her brother a dog!
The overly furious He Wenyan's chest heaved violently as she struggled to control her emotions. Instantly, she reached out and forcefully grabbed Wen Zhi's long hair.
The pain made Wen Zhi frown involuntarily, but her expression soon relaxed again, the smile on her face not fading one bit.
"Does it strike a nerve with you because I'm telling the truth?"
Seeing Wen Zhi continue to provoke, He Wenyan became even more enraged. She pulled Wen Zhi's hair back, forcing her neck to tilt backward.
"I really should tear that mouth of yours!"
"Too bad, you can't."
Even in this adverse situation, Wen Zhi remained calm, seemingly not at all afraid of whatever decision He Wenyan might make.
With He Wenyan holding her like that, the kiss marks He Hanjin had left on her neck and collarbone were quite evident and became even more glaring.
Naturally, Wen Zhi noticed her gaze and continued to provocatively push boundaries.
"Your brother does have impressive skills in bed. Maybe I'll give it another try someday and share my experience with you and Shen Chenxuan, so you two can get along even better."
"Shut up!" He Wenyan screamed.
Every word from Wen Zhi was a deep sting to He Wenyan's nerves, shaking her slightly due to the excessive excitement, yet her grip on Wen Zhi's hair showed no sign of letting go.
"You really deserve to die." He Wenyan glared at Wen Zhi intently.
As their gazes met, through her pupils, Wen Zhi could see that this woman might indeed kill her.
This caused Wen Zhi some surprise.
After all, she was currently being pampered by He Hanjin. If something really happened to her, could He Wenyan really withstand his wrath?
Regardless, she shouldn't provoke any further now.
"Everyone has their day, sooner or later. He Wenyan, don't you just want me to leave He Hanjin's side? If I could agree, what benefits could you offer me?"
He Wenyan's words made Wen Zhi regain some composure. She narrowed her eyes, "What benefits do you want?"
"Money is too trivial, and I don't need it. How about giving me greater fame and fortune? What do you think?"
Hearing this, He Wenyan immediately burst into laughter.
Contempt filled her eyes, the same disdainful gaze she once had for Wen Zhi was still present.
"You're given fame and fortune, but do you think you can control it? Being too greedy will only make you fall faster."
"You're right, but I quite enjoy using that feeling to fill the void in my heart. I am an orphan after all, and the only solution I can think of is this."
He Wenyan released Wen Zhi's hair and then grabbed her chin, "If that's the case, why didn't you choose to stay with the He Family? The He Family could give you everything you want, under one condition, you must obey."
"Your radiance was too bright, overshadowing me. I did want to help the He Family with some things, but all of you were more capable than me."
Wen Zhi softened her tone, trying her best to agree with He Wenyan.
She had said plenty of self-deprecating words, all to satisfy He Wenyan's desire for conquest.
She was just looking for a sense of superiority from her, and as long as she was satisfied, that was enough.
He Wenyan clearly enjoyed these words, a trace of satisfaction appeared on her face, but did not let Wen Zhi go because of it.
"You're smart and beautiful, and these two qualities combined are enough to drive any man mad for you. If you were just an ordinary person, I wouldn't care about you at all. But your mistake was not obeying the He Family for life."
"You don't want to sell your life for the He Family, and you try to seduce my brother. I can only destroy you."
As she spoke, He Wenyan withdrew her hand, her eyes colder than before.
She took a few steps back, allowing those two men to get closer to Wen Zhi.
"It's time to give you a lesson you'll remember until you're in the ground."
"Break her legs for me."
Such cold-blooded orders actually came from a woman's mouth, but Wen Zhi was already accustomed to it.
After all, the He Family was notorious for being ruthless.
Wen Zhi calmly looked at He Wenyan as if the person whose legs were about to be broken wasn't herself, but someone else.
He Wenyan hated Wen Zhi's aloof demeanor the most. The person who was kidnapped was her, yet it made one feel as if the situation had been reversed.
"Don't you love to climb into men's beds? I'll indulge you. These two men suit your taste, and their stamina is plentiful. I just don't know if you can take it," He Wenyan said with a cold smile.
"Don't worry, if these two aren't enough for you, I'll find you more, until you're satisfied."
As she spoke, He Wenyan slightly shook her head to signal the two men to get moving, and she, herself, took out her phone, opened the video recorder, and planned to film this scene in all its glory.
Wen Zhi watched as the two men gradually approached, and she could no longer maintain her composure, her heart starting to beat rapidly.
The men's hands each held a club, and their faces bore sinister smiles as they looked Wen Zhi up and down, seemingly imagining how they would make her scream under them in a moment.
Wen Zhi, looking at the somewhat familiar scene before her, suddenly recalled the things He Wenyan had done to her during their school days.
She became somewhat dazed, her brain unable to function normally, just sitting there blankly, staring ahead.
The two men paid no attention to Wen Zhi's abnormal state, thinking that her meekness was due to being frightened out of her wits, and didn't take it to heart.
They were, after all, brought in by He Wenyan to do as commanded, beyond that, they couldn't care less!
The men stood before Wen Zhi, and as the clubs swung down, the door to the warehouse was opened once more.
