Chapter 58 (1/2)

After bantering with Li Wei, Ye Qian finally stood up and walked over to Xu Ya Ying. He smiled slightly as he said, “Miss Xu, it’s been a while. Do you still remember me?”

“I… I remember. You are Lin Rou Rou’s boyfriend,” Xu Ya Ying said, trembling in fear.

“Miss Xu’s memory ain’t bad,” Ye Qian said, smiling blankly, “Miss Xu must know why I sent somebody over to get you.”

“I… I don’t know,” Xu Ya Ying replied fearfully, “You know, I’m just an ordinary rank and file office worker. I don’t have money. Mr. Ye, please, for the sake of Rou Rou, let me go.”

Ye Qian knitted his brows and said, “Is Ms. Xu insulting my intelligence? I know you don’t have the ability to frame me, and I also don’t wish to harm you. Just tell me who it is and it will be fine.”

Xu Ya Ying knew that she couldn’t bluff her way out of this. She inwardly cursed Ouyang Tian Ming. He had promised her that Ye Qian would not find out her involvement until he was in court, yet here he was now, unexpectedly knowing everything already. He practically pushed her into a pit of fire.

“Boss, this lady’s mouth is still tightly shut. Let me handle it. I’ll give her a taste of Manchurian torture methods. I don’t believe she’ll be unwilling to speak then.” Li Wei said as he walked over to Ye Qian’s side and looked atXu Ya Ying with fierce eyes.

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you!” Xu Ya Ying said in fear, “But you must promise me, you can’t tell him it was me that told you, or I would be dead for sure.” Xu Ya Ying understood how cruel Ouyang Tian Ming could be. To him, killing people was just like a game. If he found out that it was her that gave him away, she wouldn’t be able to live in Shanghai anymore.

“Cha, you still dare to bargain?” Li Wei bellowed ferociously.

T/N: Cha is a dismissive sound used by Chinese similar to Pfft

Ye Qian smiled indifferently and replied, “The truth is, even if you don’t tell me I can still find out who it is. I was only giving you a chance. If you won’t take it, then you can’t blame me for what happens.” After saying this, Ye Qian turned to leave. It looked as if he was going to leave Xu Ya Ying in Li Wei’s hands.

Xu Ya Ying was acquainted with Ye Qian so she was a little less afraid of him. She did not know Li Wei at all which made her incredibly frightened. When she saw that Ye Qian was about leave, her mouth took off like a motor as she released a flurry of words. Kneeling at Ye Qian’s feet, her head against his calf, she said, “I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you. It’s Ouyang Tian Ming, it was all Ouyang Tian Ming.”

“Ouyang Tian Ming?” Ye Qian muttered to himself. Ye Qian wasn’t very familiar with Ouyang Tian Ming. He had only met him a couple of times, once at the Bewitched Bar and once in the school. Ye Qian did not pay much attention to guys that relied on the power of their fathers to lord over others. When he had seen him in French cla.s.sroom number 3, Ye Qian was taken aback, there was a feeling of it being such a small world. He had not felt anything peculiar about him at the time. Who knew this fellow was so treacherous after all.

“What about Zhao Xie? Who killed Zhao Xie?” Ye Qian asked.
