33: Lan Zijun, you don’t want to see this happen, right?

The moment Qian Boda saw the video, his eyes immediately widened, and his breathing stopped abruptly.

Due to excessive shock, he even heard a buzzing sound in his ears.

What's going on?! How did Lan Zijun find out?! Why does she have the video?!

Several questions echoed in Qian Boda's mind, and a large amount of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back, soaking his shirt.

I was so careful! Although I took this video on a whim at the time, I deleted it immediately afterwards!

Are the two security companies my family hired for a lot of money eating shit?

Qian Boda was full of confusion, and one thought after another involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Could it be that Fang Fei, that bitch, double-crossed me?

However, the moment this thought appeared, Qian Boda refuted it.

Because he had given Fang Fei a large enough benefit, a benefit that no matter how much Lan Zijun offered, she could not match.

Because no matter what, Lan Zijun could not give Fang Fei half of such a huge company.

Even if it was just in name!

His body trembled, and the chair beneath his backside made a 'clunk' sound.

Qian Boda looked at Lan Zijun in despair: "You know everything?"

"Of course, Fang Fei has confessed," Lan Zijun replied calmly.

The last glimmer of hope was extinguished, and Qian Boda knew he was finished! The most crucial evidence was in Lan Zijun's hands! This was a serious crime!

I'm finished!

For a moment, only fear and panic echoed in Qian Boda's mind.

His original arrogant expression completely disappeared, replaced by a panicked, pale face.

Lan Zijun observed him calmly.

As expected, this guy is no good. With such poor mental fortitude, he could still think of hiring someone to kill me...

Lan Zijun watched Qian Boda's expression throughout, and when she saw his face fall into panic, a sense of contempt arose in her heart.

However, the feeling of contempt disappeared in just one second, replaced by a chill.

Because Lan Zijun recalled the first time she received the note.

Was I like this in the eyes of that 'Abyss'?

Lan Zijun lowered her eyes slightly, no longer looking at Qian Boda's somewhat distorted face, and fell into thought while looking at the teacup on the table.

Thinking about the 'Abyss''s purpose, thinking about why he would do this? Was it just for money?

For a time, besides the sound of the iPad repeatedly playing the video, the room fell into a strange silence.

Suddenly, Qian Boda reached out and pressed the pause button.

"Hoo..."

Covered in cold sweat, Qian Boda finally lifted his gaze, panting heavily, and looked at his 'fiancée' across the table.

"It seems I underestimated you..."

Qian Boda, whose heart was filled with immense panic due to the exposure of his crime, clenched his hands tightly, gritting his teeth and trying hard to suppress his emotions.

"I didn't expect you could dig up such a hidden video. Did you bribe my subordinate and get my phone?"

Although Qian Boda had tried his best to remain calm, Lan Zijun could still clearly hear the tremor in his voice.

Lan Zijun raised her beautiful eyes, and a seductive smile bloomed on her pretty face, which had always shown only coldness towards Qian Boda.

"Guess?"

"You motherfucker...!"

Looking at the beautiful Lan Zijun across from him, Qian Boda had no desire, only overwhelming fear.

At this moment, Lan Zijun was as terrifying as a venomous snake in his eyes.

Damn it! What does she mean! What does she want to do!

Qian Boda's brain started working actively, trying to figure out the meaning of Lan Zijun's actions and attempting to save himself!

No, I need to calm down! I can't fall into her rhythm!

He bit his lip hard, using the pain to dispel some of the panic in his heart.

"Hoo!!!"

Qian Boda, who took a deep breath, spoke.

"What is your purpose?"

He didn't think Lan Zijun showed him this video just to 'flirt' with him.

Putting himself in her shoes, if he had evidence that Lan Zijun wanted to kill him, he could use that video to endlessly threaten her for benefits.

"Hmm?"

Because Qian Boda was too nervous, his speech was not very clear, and Lan Zijun didn't hear him clearly.

"Tch, hoo! What is your purpose! What do you want to do!"

He took another deep breath of air and slowly exhaled.

Qian Boda steadied his mind, picked up the iPad and threw it aside, staring at Lan Zijun with the look of an enemy.

"At this point, I have nothing to say. I did conspire with Fang Fei to kill you!"

"Since she has confessed, you already know our plan!"

"Yes," Lan Zijun replied coldly, "To make me die from an asthma attack, so even the Police Officer would think it was an accident. What a clever scheme!"

"What do you want?"

Qian Boda outwardly put on a look of compromise, but inwardly, he thought fiercely.

Damn it, just wait! I will definitely not let you off after this!

The more sinister his thoughts were, the more submissive the expression on Qian Boda's face became.

"How much money do you want to let me off?"

"How much money? Heh!"

Hearing Qian Boda's words, Lan Zijun's eyes flickered with killing intent and she sneered coldly.

"Do you think something like this can be solved with money?"

Her chilling gaze made Qian Boda's heart tighten, while Lan Zijun looked at the former with a mocking cold smile and continued.

"However, I can give you a choice."

Qian Boda: "What choice?"

"You can turn yourself in and try to reduce your sentence."

"And you must return all the money you stole from my company during this time."

Lan Zijun's demands were simple, but for Qian Boda, they were fatal.

Going to the Police Station to turn himself in would ruin his life.

How could Qian Boda, a rich young masters born with a silver spoon in his mouth, let the best years of his life be spent behind bars?

Even if his parents spent money to help him reduce his sentence, after he got out, he wouldn't be able to mix in the circle anymore.

"Is there no room for negotiation?"

With a sinister look on his face, Qian Boda unbuttoned the cuffs of his suit shirt and flexed his wrists.

"..."

Without answering him, Lan Zijun raised her teacup, silently took a sip, and smiled.

"Yes, you can wait for me to sue you. The current charges include premeditated murder, commercial theft..."

"Bang!"

Qian Boda slammed his palm heavily on the table, the force so great that the water in the teacup rippled.

"Lan Zijun!"

Facing Qian Boda's roar, Lan Zijun calmly placed the teacup on the table.

"Yes."

Seeing her impenetrable demeanor, Qian Boda had no choice but to use the only leverage he had at the moment.

"What, you're going to personally send me to prison? Send your fiancé, me! To prison?"

Qian Boda was afraid Lan Zijun didn't understand, so he spread his hands and shouted at her.

"Behind you and me are the entire Lans Group and Ruiling Group. If I go to prison, it will be bad for the reputation of both companies."

"How much will the shares of both groups fall then, and how much money will both companies lose! You wouldn't not know this, would you?!"

Qian Boda wanted to use moral blackmail to put pressure on Lan Zijun.

He felt that as a businesswoman, Lan Zijun would definitely know what kind of negative impact such news would have on a group.

"..."

Lan Zijun was unmoved by this, still staring at Qian Boda with cold eyes.

And in Qian Boda's view, Lan Zijun's behavior was a sign of fear and worry.

Feeling that he was gradually regaining control, Qian Boda relaxed a little more than before, loosened his tie, and put on airs, speaking in a condescending tone:

"If I go to prison, the reputation of our two groups will be ruined, and the stock prices will fall."

"How could those competitors who have been eyeing us like tigers miss this opportunity?"

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Qian Boda smiled sinisterly:

"Lan Zijun, you don't want to see this happen, do you?"
