Chapter 543: Chapter 583: You’re simply a monster

But the more Lin Xueru acted this way, the more she stirred up Fang Yi’s thoughts.

Fang Yi took a step forward, Lin Xueru stepped back, Fang Yi stepped forward two more steps, Lin Xueru retreated two steps. When Fang Yi advanced again, Lin Xueru had nowhere to go, as there was a dining table behind her.

Lin Xueru’s beautiful eyes widened in astonishment, her pretty face full of anger, and she seemed to be shivering, clearly infuriated.

Fang Yi smiled slightly and said, "Look at your delicate skin, if I were to just cut down like this, how painful it would be, blood flowing out, tsk tsk, even the thought makes one cringe with pain."

Lin Xueru gritted her teeth and finally spoke, "You... don’t think I wouldn’t dare do anything to you. I am the daughter of the Lin Family, aren’t you afraid of the Lin Family’s retaliation?"

"Afraid, very afraid," Fang Yi said. "I really am extremely afraid. I’ve offended the eldest young master of the Lin Family as well as the third master of Lin, so tell me, should I be afraid? Now here I am, offending you, the precious daughter of the Lin Family, I’m simply scared to death."

Lin Xueru’s expression froze; she could tell that Fang Yi was obviously trying to provoke her.

Even though the man in front of her was saying he was scared, even to the point of death, Lin Xueru knew he wasn’t scared at all, not one bit. She was aware that her threats meant nothing to Fang Yi; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so brazen and audacious.

Last time at the hotel, all the things Fang Yi did to Lin Xueru, she could still clearly recall to this moment. She swore she would never forget them in this lifetime, especially when he said he was going to make her his slave.

With this in mind, Lin Xueru was understandably furious.

But... but she really had no way to fight back!

"Put the knife and fork down, you wouldn’t dare to commit suicide, and I won’t force you to. Besides, even if you really did commit suicide, I have ways to bring you back to life," Fang Yi said.

This statement completely shattered Lin Xueru. Even if she committed suicide, he could still revive her?

What was the point of her suicide then? It would just be a futile effort.

Lin Xueru felt a sincere sense of powerlessness within her; the knife and fork at her throat were slowly lowered. She wasn’t a woman who couldn’t understand the situation. From any aspect, she seemed unable to gain the upper hand.

"What... what exactly do you want?" she asked.

"Nothing much, just wanted to have a little private chat with you," Fang Yi said.

Lin Xueru’s heart was beginning to break down. She could clearly understand the intentions of many people but just couldn’t see through Fang Yi.

Lin Xueru took a deep breath, trying to remain calm. She warned herself internally not to panic. Having come through so many storms in life, was she going to fear a man like the one in front of her now?

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Lin Xueru said in a heavy voice.

Fang Yi could clearly sense the calmness in Lin Xueru’s voice. He thought to himself that Lin Xue was indeed not an ordinary woman; she could remain calm even in situations like this, which was quite extraordinary.

But Fang Yi was no pushover himself, he had said before that he wanted to train Lin Xueru, and seeing her like this now, he found it even more interesting.

Very well, Lin Damsel, you’ve successfully ignited my desire to conquer.

Fang Yi didn’t apply any more pressure to Lin Xueru through his actions. He turned around and sat down on a chair, propped up one leg over the other, swinging his lower leg lightly, with a smile on his face and lit another cigarette, wearing a frivolous look.

However, the more Fang Yi acted this way, the more uncomfortable Lin Xueru felt.

What’s called a negotiation? This is a negotiation. In negotiation, you must seize the initiative, and this initiative is all about momentum. Right at the beginning, Fang Yi had laid his momentum out on the table.

Lin Xueru was still unaware she had already been overwhelmed by Fang Yi’s momentum.

Man to woman, in this opening exchange, Fang Yi had crushed Lin Xueru’s momentum and seized the initiative.

"Lin Xueru," Fang Yi said indifferently.

"Am I someone you can simply call by name?" Lin Xueru immediately bristled.

Fang Yi laughed, "Others have to call you Miss Lin, the wealthy heiress, but I will call you by your name. What’s wrong, does that annoy you?"

Of course it was annoying!

But Lin Xueru also knew of Fang Yi’s shamelessness. She snorted coldly and said, "Call me whatever you want; it’s not like I’ll be losing any skin off my back." Saying that, she stretched her neck and tilted up her chin, as though brimming with fighting spirit.

"Lin Xueru, you don’t need to get angry with me. Do you know why I was able to find you tonight?" Fang Yi exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Why?" Lin Xueru was taken aback, then asked. However, Lin Xueru was also clever. Her bright eyes turned icy as she said, "Did you follow me or get my whereabouts from Rong Quan? The latter is obviously impossible, so you..."

"You’re wrong." Fang Yi cut her off before she could finish.

"What, what?"

"The reason I knew you were here is because of that call this afternoon. I had Rong Quan make it to you," Fang Yi said.

"What?!" Lin Xueru’s face showed disbelief, "How could it be you? As far as I know, Rong Quan is a proud and arrogant person, a typical rich second generation. How could you possibly command him?"

Fang Yi laughed heartily, "That’s not for you to worry about. You only need to know that Rong Quan is now under me, and the Rong Group you want to secure is now under my control as well, that’s enough."

Lin Xueru sharply inhaled, "What are you saying? Rong Quan is under you, and the Rong Group too? How did that happen? My people should have discovered this information!"

Before this, Lin Xueru had arranged for people to investigate, but they had discovered no connection between Rong Quan and Fang Yi. Now hearing Fang Yi’s revelation, she was obviously incredibly surprised.

Fang Yi just smiled and said, "But that’s the truth."

Lin Xueru’s brows deeply furrowed; she actually believed him somewhat, for if Fang Yi did not have absolute confidence, he would never sit here and talk to her in such a manner. The man across from her was clearly full of confidence.

But Lin Xueru didn’t want to appear weak, so she said defiantly, "Even if what you say is true, so what? If worst comes to worst, I just won’t take over the Rong Group. The Lin Family won’t take it. Without the Rong Group, the earth will still rotate."

"But that would go against Mr. Lin the Third’s wishes, wouldn’t it?" Fang Yi said as if offhandedly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xueru’s delicate body shook violently, her beautiful face showing immense shock, "You... how could you..."

Fang Yi said, "Lin Xueru, I’m not a fool. If I weren’t smart at all, how could I compete with you, and how could I have sent your uncle to prison?"

Lin Xue stared at Fang Yi, silent for a moment, then said, "You... you’re simply a monster!"

The corners of Fang Yi’s lips lifted in a smile, "It doesn’t matter whether I’m a monster or not. What’s important is that, in this battle with Mr. Lin the Third, I have taken the lead and gained the upper hand."

Lin Xueru was pensive then, after a long time, she said, "Fine, you’ve won. Tell me, what do you want to get from me?"
