Chapter 191: 191 Reconciliation

When Shi Qianxi regained consciousness, she found herself in a construction site.

The surroundings were pitch-black, dirty, and sinister, with only the faint moonlight vaguely casting in.

She sat on the concrete floor, her stockings and skirt all covered in dust, and subconsciously tried to stand up, but couldn’t move at all.

Her hands were tied behind her to a stone pillar.

"Miss Shi, don’t move around. If you hurt your precious body, that wouldn’t be good,"

a deep voice came from the shadows.

Shi Qianxi suddenly looked up.

"Do you have any idea what you’re doing?!"

The man who stepped out of the shadows was the same owner of the Passat from before.

Obviously.

This was not a simple car accident.

"Of course, I do."

The burly man chuckled, then slowly squatted down.

Shi Qianxi hastily drew her legs back.

Although she was arrogant and haughty, she didn’t seem to be fearless; at least now, she appeared to be slightly panicked.

"I warn you, let me go now, or I’ll make sure you die without a burial place!"

Shi Qianxi gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred. As a fearsome presence in East Sea, she had never endured such an ordeal.

"Miss Shi, given the situation, do you think I’d let you go that easily?"

"What do you want to do?"

Shi Qianxi forced down the panic inside, "Is it money you want? Name a price."

Although it was incredibly humiliating, in this situation, the only way was to placate the other party first to ensure her safety.

Once she was free, she had plenty of ways to make this foolhardy thief pay a brutal price!

The burly man remained silent, smiling.

Shi Qianxi narrowed her eyes, seeming to have thought of something.

"Who sent you?"

"No one sent me."

"Lies!"

Shi Qianxi said decisively, "How much did that person offer you? Just let me go, and I’ll double it!"

"There are rules in this line of work, and also, Miss Shi, I advise you not to harbor any wishful thinking. Given your temperament, the number of people you’ve offended is certainly not small."

Indeed, she had offended numerous people.

But few would dare to do something like this.

After all, she was a legitimate wealthy heiress, someone who could casually destroy diamonds worth hundreds of millions. How could she possibly lack the audacity?

Shi Qianxi’s mind raced.

"Jiang Chen, was it Jiang Chen who sent you?!"

The man’s expression shifted subtly.

"It must be him!"

For some reason, Shi Qianxi was utterly convinced, and it was only then she suddenly recalled that there had been others in the Passat at the time.

"Jiang Chen! Come out! If you’re a man, don’t hide!"

She shouted angrily all around, her voice echoing back and forth in the empty construction site.

"Shut up!"

The burly man barked.

But Shi Qianxi didn’t care.

"You have the guts to kidnap me but not the courage to show your face?!"

Not far behind her, next to a wall,

a figure took a step forward.

"Young Master Jiang."

The figure beside him spoke.

"Surely we can’t really kill her, right?"

Jiang Chen smiled and walked out at an unhurried pace.

Hearing the footsteps, Shi Qianxi, who was bound and unable to move, turned her head to see the young face emerging from the darkness, smiled coldly without any surprise.

The man stood up.

Jiang Chen nodded at him, "You leave first."

The man left decisively, passing by him.

"Mr. Jiang, I admire your courage, you are a real man."

Miss Shi, disheveled and in a sorry state, seemed to be offering praise, but her eyes and face were filled with deep-seated resentment.

"But what’s your plan for ending this?"

If she had indeed been a bit panicked just now, seeing Jiang Chen made her not so afraid anymore.

"You’ve kidnapped me, this isn’t just a grudge between the two of us anymore."

Jiang Chen’s expression remained calm.

"Miss Shi, you also know that I did this because I had no other choice."

"Heh, I gave you a chance, didn’t I? I told you, if you brought that bitch here to apologize to me, I could let bygones be bygones. But you didn’t want to, whose fault is that?"

Hearing her repeatedly call her a "bitch," Jiang Chen couldn’t help but frown.

"Miss Shi, you seem to be unaware of the predicament you’re in."

Shi Qianxi, the apparent prey, was unreasonably haughty.

"What, are you angry? She’s nothing but a cheap tramp who changes her mind constantly, and you actually treat her like a treasure?!"

"Miss Shi, if you continue to speak so hurtfully, don’t blame me for being impolite."

Shi Qianxi, utterly unafraid, held her head high.

"Am I wrong? She’s just a cheap..."

"Slap!"

The sudden sound of a slap in the vacant environment was especially crisp!

Shi Qianxi’s hair swayed, and her head involuntarily turned to the side, stunned by the straightforward slap.

Bai Haoran, standing by the wall with his back in the direction of them, twitched in the corner of his eye.

"You dare to hit me?"

She lifted her head in shock, her face filled with disbelief, and amazement even overwhelmed her anger.

"You dare to hit me?"

She had never been hit by anyone in her life, not even her parents.

Jiang Chen, who had hit a woman for the first time in his life, lowered his hand.

Although it was impulsive, he did not regret it.

This woman really deserved a slap.

"Miss Shi, given the situation, I hope you can be smart about this. It’s for your own good."

Shi Qianxi was dazed for quite a while and did not scream or shout. Her voice sounded as if it were squeezed through her teeth, and her reddening eyes looked like those of a small she-wolf.

"Mr. Jiang, if you have the guts, then kill me today. Otherwise, Shi Qianxi and you will never coexist peacefully."

Jiang Chen smiled, having just slapped her, yet still remained gentle and cultured.

"Miss Shi, you jest. Murder is a crime, you know."

Shi Qianxi was of course aware that the other party wouldn’t dare to actually kill her. The slap had its effect, and it seemed to have knocked some sense into her. She wasn’t as aggressive and arrogant as before. Sitting on the dirty concrete floor, she stared at Jiang Chen and coldly scoffed without speaking.

Jiang Chen squatted down in front of her.

"Does it hurt?"

Shi Qianxi didn’t flinch or turn away, staring intently at him. If looks could kill, Jiang Chen would have been reduced to ashes.

"Miss Shi, I invited you here tonight without any ill will; I actually wanted to make peace with you."

"Make peace?"

Miss Shi, her cheek still throbbing with pain, didn’t hesitate much and quickly replied, "Fine, let me go, and I can pretend nothing ever happened. From now on, we’ll stay out of each other’s way."

Jiang Chen looked at her.

She really was spoiled, he thought. He had not used his full strength, but a bright red handprint was already visible on the precious face.

"Miss Shi, when you say that, I find it a little hard to believe."

"So what do you want?"

Shi Qianxi sneered, "You want me to write another statement? Fine, bring me paper and pen."

Jiang Chen’s expression didn’t change.

Although she agreed quickly, he wasn’t foolish.

If he simply let her go now, this woman who only wanted one of his legs before might very well want his life next.
