Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 378: Easy to Change like Rivers and Mountains_1

Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Easy to Change like Rivers and Mountains_1

Watching as Xiao Ming, An Kefang, and Qingfeng vanished behind the elevator doors, Jiang Nanxi couldn’t help but ask, "Sophie, what did Xiao Ming say to you?"

Sophie suddenly turned her face around, her blood-red eyes startling Nanxi’s heart.

"It’s none of your business!"

Steadying her mind, Jiang Nanxi said, "Saint sent me to win over Xiao Ming. Anything concerning him is my business!"

Sophie’s right hand spread open like a hook, her tone icy, "I can make it so you will never have to deal with anything ever again."

Jiang Nanxi glared, "Are you daring to betray Saint?"

After a moment of silence, Sophie said, "That’s my personal affair, and it has nothing to do with your mission or the organization."

"Then you won’t mind me reporting the truth to Saint."

"Whatever.

But if one day you end up dead by my hand, this will be one of the reasons."

Having said that, Sophie turned around and walked towards Hao Xiangyu, who still stood there in a daze.

Amid Hao Xiangyu’s miserable screams, Jiang Nanxi hesitated for a moment, then said to Sophie, "I will tell Saint that you lost to Xiao Ming. As for the reasons, you explain them yourself."

Sophie pulled the knife out of Hao Xiangyu’s mouth, flicking off the fresh blood, "Thanks."

Jiang Nanxi nodded, was about to leave, but suddenly her phone rang. She had listened for less than two seconds before she couldn’t help but utter a startled cry.

Sophie looked back, "What happened?"

Jiang Nanxi hung up the phone and said, "Xiao Ming is going to make a move on Lin Jingyou."

"What?" Sophie was also shocked, quickly stepped to Jiang Nanxi’s side, and whispered, "Absolutely not!

Lin Jingyou is Saint’s most important chess piece in the province. If he’s finished, both of us will be in big trouble!"

Jiang Nanxi furrowed her brows in thought for a moment, then made a decisive statement, "I will go and talk with Xiao Ming right now; you go kill Ge Qinghe."

"Talk? That guy is a hundred times more arrogant than I thought. What makes you think you can persuade him?" Sophie asked, her face full of skepticism.

"On the basis of his way of doing things," Jiang Nanxi said, "he went to Ge Qinghe this morning, forced her to record a video that was completely at odds with the facts.

It seems he wants to doom Lin Jingyou, but the plot is full of holes and barely a threat at all.

With his intelligence, he shouldn’t only have this tiny bit of skill.

So I believe, his real target is still the Hao Family, and this is to force us to actively seek out negotiations with him."

Sophie paused, "You mean, he doesn’t want to wait for us to make a move, so he’s attacking first, to take control?"

Jiang Nanxi nodded, "I feel there’s at least a seventy percent chance that’s the case."

Sophie’s eyes turned sharp, "Fine! We’ll do as you say. By the way, should we just go ahead and kill Ge Qinghe’s entire family, to prevent future problems?"

"No. Ge Qinghe explicitly mentioned in the phone call to Lin Jingyou that Xiao Ming had seen her father and brother, and it’s precisely because of this that I inferred his real target is the Hao Family.

With the current situation unclear, just killing Ge Qinghe will suffice. We’d best avoid unnecessary complications."

Sophie furrowed her brows, hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is this person as valuable as Saint said?"

Jiang Nanxi shook her head, "In irreverent terms, I feel Saint might have underestimated him a bit."

Taking a sharp breath, Sophie glanced up at the ceiling of the lobby with an ambiguous expression, then turned and left.

"Ge Qinghe is a typical gold digger, and the kind that’s greedy to the point of recklessness."

In the private room of the Huaiyang Cuisine Restaurant at the hotel, Xiao Ming explained to An Kefang, "Lin Jingyou is unaware that she has secretly installed surveillance cameras at home, so she would believe that those of us who took the hard drive can definitely finish off Lin Jingyou without a trace.

Similarly, she was well aware that once the video hit the internet, the Hao Family would never let her go; her only option would be to flee.

A person who must forever leave their home behind, how could they not worry about their future life?

Money, the more you have, the more you enjoy.

After all, Lin Jingyou was going to die, so why should all that money benefit his wife and children? It might as well benefit her, the young and beautiful mistress.

Therefore, when we were about to leave, and she asked, "Will you really put the video online?" I was certain she would call Lin Jingyou.

She would weep and confess her compliance due to the fear of death, then express a desire to change her testimony, to atone for her sins, hinting to Lin Jingyou to hurry up and pay her to change her statement.

What she didn’t know was that, because of the Red Lotus Society’s involvement, Lin Jingyou had already lost his decision-making power, and with Jiang Nanxi’s fairly good brain, she would certainly spot the intentional flaw I left in this matter.

And so, Ge Qinghe was doomed."

After hearing all this, An Kefang fell completely silent.

Having just seen a living person being killed, her heart was already in turmoil. Entering the small private room and facing Xiao Ming and Qingfeng alone, she was definitely afraid.

To alleviate her own tension, she initiated a conversation with Xiao Ming, asking why he had said earlier that Ge Qinghe definitely wouldn’t live till tomorrow.

However, she hadn’t expected the situation to be so convoluted, nor could she understand how Xiao Ming could describe such dangerous deceits and betrayals with such ease and nonchalance.

Deception, coercion, luring someone into a death trap.

Rescuing kidnapped children, making a grieving father cry with joy.

Two incidents, which should be diametrically opposed, were both carried out by the same person on the same morning.

Most crucially, the one trapped in the death game and the one being saved were both that father’s children.

If not for her own involvement, An Kefang would have thought this was something straight out of an absurd novel.

It was so strange and distant, yet it happened right before her eyes.

Moreover, the instigator was sitting right across from her.

After a long moment, An Kefang stared blankly at a tea leaf bobbing uncertainly in her tea bowl and said, "Harming people, saving people, killing people, each deed could be considered earth-shattering, how do you manage to do it all so naturally and skillfully?"

Xiao Ming smacked his lips, "I’m used to it, it’s just my daily routine."

"Why?"

An Kefang raised her eyes, "Although there are a lot of bad people in the world, most live relatively peaceful lives, so why do these kind of things end up being your ’daily routine’?"

This question stumped Xiao Ming.

Yeah, why?

After living like this for over a decade in his past life, why in this life...?

Suddenly, like a lightning strike through his mind, Xiao Ming opened his mouth, feeling as if he had a belly full of words to say, but in the end, they all turned into a bitter smile.

Why?

The answer was simple, territories may shift, but nature’s hard to change, that was all.

At that moment, there was a knock on the private room door, then Jiang Nanxi walked in, standing at the entrance and said, "Mr. Xiao, may I speak with you alone?"

Xiao Ming looked at her steadily for a moment, then shook his head, "No."

Jiang Nanxi was taken aback. This was completely different from what she had expected, and she didn’t know how to react.

"Let the Saint come and talk to me," added Xiao Ming, "Whether it’s true or not, I want to see someone who can make decisions."
