Chapter 617: Chapter 618: The Game of Switching People

Xia Ning couldn’t help but smile gleefully, sensing that she finally had the upper hand, or perhaps, feeling that she had at last endured through several days of being repressed.

She curled her fingers and rhythmically tapped on the table, her smile extraordinarily joyful, "Qin Nuan, since it’s all a game of exchanging people, using Xia Cheng to swap with Qin Xiaonian should be okay, right? Don’t tell me you didn’t come to Xia Group to save your sister Qin Xiaonian? Or are you saying that having a man means you no longer care about your own sister?"

Qin Nuan trembled with rage, but she couldn’t find the words to speak.

Indeed, as Xia Ning had pointed out, Qin Nuan had come to Xia Group to save Qin Xiaonian. If Yi Lixing hadn’t been incarcerated, she would certainly have chosen to save Qin Xiaonian this time.

But the problem was that now Yi Lixing was also facing charges, increasing the number of people she needed to save to two, yet she only had Xia Cheng as leverage...

Suddenly, a lightning bolt of an idea struck her mind, and her face, once filled with anger, became calm, "Xia Ning, don’t get too smug. I have your transfer records. If I hand them over to the police, not only will your brother have to stay inside, but you will too, right?"

"What do you want to do?" Xia Ning’s face changed dramatically, looking at Qin Nuan as if she was insane, "If you turn me in, you won’t be able to escape involvement either, since I assigned those tasks to you. Think it through clearly, unless you’re willing to join me inside."

"Why not?" Qin Nuan smiled faintly, her beautiful face displaying a kind of do-or-die courage, "If Yi Lixing can’t get out, there’s no point for me staying outside. I might as well go in and be with my sister. Just that..."

She started laughing at that point, a chilling, sinister laugh that could easily pass for a demon’s, "Just that your time inside will definitely be much longer than ours; and you like He Xing so much, do you think he’d still respect you after he sees your true colors?"

With each word, Xia Ning’s face grew a shade paler until Qin Nuan finished speaking, and Xia Ning’s face had become completely ashen. In contrast, Qin Nuan’s smile grew brighter and more beautiful.

Qin Nuan slowly stood up, placed her hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and whispered to Xia Ning, "Xia Ning, I have a lot of things in my hand that you wouldn’t want He Xing to see. If you want me to destroy them, you better obediently get my sister out."

"Don’t try to scare me; I won’t be intimidated," Xia Ning said, even as her uncontrollably darting eyes betrayed her true thoughts.

"Don’t believe me?" Qin Nuan smiled again, her smile as radiant as a blooming rose, "You probably don’t know that to win me over, your brother gave me something. Among them were videos of you and Yang Kaitai in bed, tsk tsk tsk..."

She lowered her head, looking meaningfully at Xia Ning, "What were you saying about me earlier? That I should be ashamed to say I like Yi Lixing after sleeping with so many people? What about you? You seemed pretty happy under Yang Kaitai, yet you shamelessly say you like He Xing?"

Xia Ning’s face turned scarlet in an instant. Originally, when Yang Kaitai was caught buying his position and attacked Fu Han online, and it all came out, Xia Ning had sought him out, begging him to take the fall for everything.

Once Yang Kaitai was out of prison, he demanded Xia Ning’s body as compensation; Xia Ning didn’t dare resist because the leverage was in Yang Kaitai’s hands.

This incident had always been the most humiliating thing in Xia Ning’s heart, and that’s why she later painstakingly gathered evidence of Yang Kaitai’s crimes, finally sending Yang Kaitai back to jail on the day they were engaged.

However, this was only a temporary solution, since Yang Kaitai would be coming back out in a few years.

To keep Yang Kaitai stable, Xia Ning had to visit him in jail regularly and even promised to marry him once he was released.

Initially, Yang Kaitai suspected that Xia Ning was the one who had him sent to jail again. He had thought about exposing the Xia Family’s deeds.

But Xia Ning was just too good at playing innocent, and besides, Yang Kaitai was hopelessly in love with her. Thus, after several rounds of Xia Ning’s brainwashing, Yang Kaitai genuinely believed that Xia Ning loved him too and would wait for him.

Eventually, Yang Kaitai stopped listening to his own father and didn’t speak a word about the illegal activities of the Xia Family, opting to take all the blame on himself.

There was still a potential risk, though. Yang Kaitai wouldn’t be out anytime soon, but what if he were released early on reduced sentence?

So, Xia Ning was eager to marry He Xing. She felt that once she married him, she wouldn’t have to fear Yang Kaitai’s return; with He Xing’s protection, Yang Kaitai couldn’t do anything to her.

With these thoughts, Xia Ning’s face underwent a tremendous change as she coldly said to Qin Nuan, "Stop trying to scare me. I don’t believe my brother would give you such things. I’ve never filmed stuff like that, you’re bluffing."

"Never filmed?" Qin Nuan chuckled and, taking out her phone, began to tap on it, "I knew you’d say that, so let me send you something for a look."

Xia Ning’s phone pinged with a few small videos from Qin Nuan. She casually opened one and immediately shut it after just a glance.

Just as Qin Nuan said, the video indeed depicted Xia Ning and Yang Kaitai’s intimate moments.

Then came Qin Nuan’s gloating voice, "Xia Ning, you never expected this, right? Yang Kaitai recorded this and gave it to your brother, who himself gave it to me, suggesting that I learn from you how to be more seductive in bed, otherwise I wouldn’t have this nice material."

Xia Ning clenched her teeth in hatred but was powerless against Qin Nuan. She had completely lost the upper hand and was utterly controlled by Qin Nuan.

Then Qin Nuan’s voice resonated again, "Xia Ning, what do you think would happen if I sent these to He Xing? Do you think you and He Xing will still have a chance?"

"What exactly do you want?" Xia Ning ground out, every word seething with anger.

Qin Nuan idly stroked her chin, her smile even wider, "It’s very simple. I have just two requests. First, Qin Xiaonian was framed by you and sent to jail; you need to get her out. Second, no matter what you do, Yi Lixing must be released too."

The sun still dangled far in the sky, emitting no warmth, one might even say it was bone-chillingly cold.

Xia Ning remained dressed in her light pink woolen clothes, with her egg-curled hair as meticulous as ever, yet she appeared like a soulless, exquisite doll.
