Shang Jing knew from the start that helping Wen Zhi wouldn't be easy, but he hadn't anticipated it would be this difficult. Just one look from Shang Hexing was enough to make him want to back down.
"Big brother, I..." Shang Jing hesitated for a few seconds, "I was just speaking off the cuff."
Shang Hexing gestured for his secretary to leave, then turned to face Shang Jing. He repeated what Shang Jing had just said, turning it into a question:
"Just speaking off the cuff?"
Shang Jing suddenly fell silent.
His heart was in turmoil.
On one hand, he was afraid of his brother getting angry, and on the other, he owed Wen Zhi a favor, caught between a rock and a hard place.
"I gave you a chance to continue speaking," Shang Hexing left him with those words and turned to leave.
Out of desperation, Shang Jing caught up to him. This time, he wasn't hesitant, "Big brother, I want to take back that string of Buddha Beads from you."
