Li Shan and Yue Rong sat on the sofa, just staring at Bai Yu. The air was still filled with an unpleasant smell. The atmosphere was very somber.

The reason the Ancient Martial Families allied with Bai Yu was largely because Bai Yu had previously planted agents within Qiansimei, and now it was time for them to come into play. Another reason was that their starting point and purpose were the same: to bring down Qiansimei and seize this cash cow for themselves.

They had agreed upon this when they first cooperated.

Bai Yu was responsible for causing petty trouble within Qiansimei.

Once Bai Shishi made a move, preparing to use her connections to settle the matter, these families would step in and block her!

How could the Bai Family’s connections possibly compete with so many Ancient Martial Families?

But! Unexpectedly, Qiansimei took a different path, solved the matter without using any connections! Just a few announcements. Truly felt like using four ounces to move a thousand pounds.

Can you not be pissed by this?

"Hey! You bitch, say something! Cat got your tongue?" Li Shan angrily shouted.

His fiery temper matched his burly stature; though he had a rough exterior with a bit of finesse, with Bai Yu, rough was the way to go!

Bai Yu jolted back to her senses from his shout. Her expression turned vicious.

"How can it be like this?! You owe me an explanation! Didn’t we have an agreement beforehand? I was just supposed to stir things up, and you’d suppress Bai Shishi’s connections. But now? Everything’s turned upside down! You dare kick down my door? And act all aggressive? Having a loud voice makes you great?"

Li Shan, trained in Inner Strength, had a slightly better mental endurance than normal people, but hearing this, his face turned red with anger, and he snorted heavily.

Before Li Shan could speak, Yue Rong suddenly stood up, his body becoming a blur, standing before Bai Yu in a few steps.

Li Shan couldn’t help but sigh internally: the Yue Family’s speed truly is unrivaled!

Suddenly, Bai Yu felt a suffocating pressure coming at her, forcibly suppressing her earlier anger, filling her with fear instead.

Smack!

A slap landed on Bai Yu’s face.

Yue Rong had a somewhat devilish air about him. Once he started, there was no holding back!

This slap was infused with Inner Strength. One slap sent Bai Yu flying to the floor under the bed.

When Bai Yu struggled to crawl out, the left side of her face was red and swollen, two teeth were missing from her mouth, and it was filled with blood.

"Bitch! You have the nerve to blame us? Let me tell you! This has nothing to do with us; Bai Shishi didn’t use any connections or smooth any relations and easily solved the matter!"

Yue Rong took a step forward, suddenly reaching out and choking Bai Yu’s neck. He said indifferently, "You think a little explosion tarnished Qiansimei’s name? Just a few announcements settled the matter clearly. Know why? Because you’re incompetent!"

As he spoke, Yue Rong gradually increased his grip, muscles bulging, as if he truly intended to choke Bai Yu to death!

"Uh~ Ah~"

With her neck tightly squeezed, Bai Yu couldn’t breathe, only making muffled cries.

She gripped Yue Rong’s hand with both her hands, trying to pry his fingers open. But she couldn’t, and he only increased his strength.

Gradually, Bai Yu’s consciousness started to fade, her mind went blank. For the first time, she felt she was about to die, and fear gripped her heart. She deeply regretted opposing Bai Shishi.

Bai Yu’s vision blurred, even seeing her life flashing before her eyes.

Once Bai Yu stopped struggling, Yue Rong released her neck and spat on her.

Li Shan looked at the woman on the bed, her fate uncertain, and asked, "You didn’t really kill her, did you?"

"Kill her? That would dirty my hands! Don’t worry, this bitch is still useful to us, so I left her with a breath. Without some discipline, she doesn’t know her place!"

Li Shan chuckled, saying nothing.

Seeing this woman beaten like this, his anger somewhat subsided.

"Wake her up, we need to discuss business." Li Shan said.

Yue Rong gave a slight snort, picked up a bottle of wine worth tens of thousands from the bedside, raised it high, and poured it over Bai Yu’s face.

The wine splashed onto Bai Yu’s wounds, not only waking her up but also aggravating her pain.

Even more discomforting was the lingering breathlessness.

Seeing Yue Rong’s devilish face, Bai Yu’s pupils shrank as if she saw a demon, curling up in the corner, not daring to glance at Yue Rong or Li Shan.

"Heh, looks like you scared her." Li Shan laughed.

Yue Rong ignored him, speaking to Bai Yu, "I didn’t want to hit you; I just wanted you to know the gap between us. I am a direct disciple of the Ancient Martial Yue Family. You’re merely a pawn of the Bai Family. You have no right to act proud before me. Even if I killed you just now, nothing would happen to me. Do you believe me?"

Bai Yu huddled in the corner, her head lowered, not speaking.

"Answer me, do you believe?" Yue Rong repeated; he enjoyed seeing others fear him.

"I believe! I believe!" Bai Yu hurriedly nodded, sounding like an abused woman, her previous arrogance gone.

Deep in Bai Yu’s heart, she saw this man as a demon!

"I know you have people inside Qiansimei, right?" Yue Rong asked.

"Ye-yes..."

"Good, I don’t care how you do it, I want you to obtain the formulas for those three skincare products from Qiansimei! Ruining Qiansimei works too, depends on your abilities. Of course, I know your resources are limited, ask if you need anything, we’ll try to meet your needs. Understood?"

"Understood... but, Qiansimei keeps their product formulas very secretive. I can’t find a way." Bai Yu said quietly.

"I know it’s difficult, just do your best. I want a satisfactory answer in a few days."

After saying this, Yue Rong turned, waved at Li Shan, "Let’s go, this room stinks too much!"

Bai Yu curled up in the corner, fists clenched, teeth gritting.

After a long time, she muttered, "Bai Shishi! I will personally kill you!"
