351: Chapter 351: Too Clever for One’s Own Good!

Chu Yunxuan completely collapsed!

Because once Wu Jie called the police, for her, it would be nothing short of a catastrophe!

Forget about making money from selling a house or keeping her position, her actions alone were enough to land her in prison for several years.

For someone as young and beautiful as her, what would serving a few years in prison mean?

Firstly, it meant utter disgrace.

Strict upbringing, a top student from a small county town, always academically excellent and often used as a model for other children to follow…

Her imprisonment would naturally bring shame to her and her parents, completely tarnishing their reputation.

Secondly, it would have a detrimental impact.

Chu Yunxuan, in her attempt to sell the house, had resorted to such sinister and wicked schemes.

Once the case was proven and publicly tried, her company would also be implicated and its reputation damaged.

After all, behind Wu Jie was not only the Tianyuan Tang Family but also the Fortune Global 500 Tanglong Industrial Group!

Lastly, the troubles that awaited her were immense.

As to how much she would have to pay in compensation and fines, Chu Yunxuan had no idea.

But she knew that prison and society were two completely different worlds.

After her release from prison years later, not only would she have aged, society would have changed rapidly as well.

Just like a few years ago, when smartphones had just started to become popular, now mobile payments and the sharing economy had already benefited hundreds of millions of people.

Disconnected from society, how could she adapt to it all over again?

Even as a student from a prestigious university, what could she do?

With a criminal record, a tainted person, which company or organization would dare to hire her?

Someone who dares to scheme against clients to make money, even if she spent several years in prison, so what?

Who would believe that Chu Yunxuan had truly reformed?

Who would guarantee that she wouldn’t commit crimes again?

By that time, unable to get into a good institution or company, she could only take on odd jobs, save money for small trades, and start from the bottom…

In short.

If Wu Jie called the police, it would spell prison disaster for Chu Yunxuan.

She was too aware of the stakes, which was why she was scared into complete collapse.

She sat on the ground, crying and begging hoarsely for mercy.

“Do you know?

I’ve never dared to do anything bad since I was young, this is the only time!”

“I’m going crazy from poverty!

I dream of becoming rich, I don’t want to face my landlord’s moodiness, I don’t want to endure my boss’s humiliation anymore!”

“I also don’t want to sell a house, only to be taken advantage of and groped by those disgusting men!”

“I just want to live a bit more decently, with a bit more dignity, a bit more freely.”

“So…

I’m really sorry, I…

apologize to you!”

Her voice was like weeping and complaining, just short of…

kowtowing.

Sigh~

Wu Jie exhaled a long puff of smoke.

Watching and listening to Chu Yunxuan’s complete collapse and highly agitated crying, his expression remained completely unruffled.

People have always said.

Over thousands of years, the continuous evolution toward civilization in human society has been the constant use of law and morality to restrain the evil in human nature.

Morality is used to educate and restrain people’s behavior, and law is used to warn and punish people’s wrongdoings.

But no matter when or where, regardless of how well educated, or in what kind of civilized country one is, there are always people who reveal their sins.

Just like Chu Yunxuan in front of him.

As a top student who excelled in both character and learning from a young age.

Didn’t she have a good family upbringing?

Hadn’t she received enough higher education?

Didn’t she know that her actions today were serious violations of the law and harmful to others?

Certainly, Chu Yunxuan was very clear about it.

On one hand was the successful plan, the possibility of blackmail and control at will.

On the other hand was failure, being caught with evidence and suffering utter disgrace and imprisonment.

Between the two, Chu Yunxuan chose the former.

Why?

Criminal psychologists have said that most crimes are committed under the affliction of malicious intent hidden within the heart.

For example, due to laziness and gluttony, because there’s no money for food and fun, someone resorts to theft or robbery.

Believing that they are quick and clean enough not to be spotted or caught.

In the hope of obtaining what they desire, they knowingly break the law under the influence of wishful thinking.

Just like Chu Yunxuan before him.

She must have known such actions were harmful to both others and herself, yet she chose to take the risk just to satisfy her greed.

In her mind, she certainly thought her plan was flawless, without any loopholes, incapable of going wrong.

Indeed, there were no issues with her planning and execution.

But she never accounted for Wu Jie’s system possession, like he had turned on a cheat.

Not dizzy from the finest wine, nor confused by drugs.

Otherwise, her plan would have been one hundred percent successful.

That was precisely why Wu Jie felt an increasing chill.

If not for the assistance of the system, he would have certainly been trapped!

Thinking about it now, he truly felt a shiver of fear.

Chasing a girl is like climbing a mountain, chasing a boy is like piercing through a layer of gauze.

A woman who has both looks and talent, how could she be so easily “picked up”?

This incident was really an eye-opener for Wu Jie.

The easier something is to obtain, the more dangerous it is.

Whew~

He smoked, exhaled.

Wu Jie’s brow slightly furrowed as he watched Chu Yunxuan sobbing bitterly.

“That’s enough, what’s with all the tears?

Now you’re here crying and apologizing, begging for forgiveness, but have you considered what would have happened if your plan had succeeded?

Would I have just been at your mercy?”

Chu Yunxuan shook her head repeatedly: “Jie, you’ve misunderstood, really misunderstood.

I truly just wanted you to buy a house, I never thought about using those photos or videos to blackmail or extort you, how could I ever commit a crime?”

Wu Jie scoffed coldly: “Fuck!

According to you, drugging and getting me drunk, faking photos and videos, that’s not illegal?

And then threatening me to buy the house at a high price wouldn’t count as extortion?”

“I…”

Chu Yunxuan lowered her head, bit her red lips, and said softly,

“I just thought that it would be much less of a crime than directly extorting a large sum of money!”

“Oh~”

Wu Jie let out a loud ‘oh’ on purpose.

He was genuinely at a loss for words in his mind.

Chu Yunxuan did indeed have clever calculations; she truly lived up to her reputation as a top female scholar.

It was all for the same thirty million.

If Chu Yunxuan forced Wu Jie to buy a house, thus earning the thirty million difference, it would be a crime of coercive transactions.

If she threatened Wu Jie that he must give her thirty million or she would not destroy and would leak the photos and videos, it would be the more heinous crime of extortion, which would result in a longer sentence.

Wu Jie stroked his chin, feeling a surge of anger.

Chu Yunxuan had stopped her whining and crying.

She knew that crying now, even to death, would be useless.

Wu Jie was genuinely angry.

The fact that he hadn’t lost his temper and struck her was already quite merciful.

If he really did get physical, with Wu Jie’s fighting abilities, probably one slap could have killed her, right?

Silently watching Wu Jie, Chu Yunxuan with tears in her eyes, looked forlorn and collapsed on the ground.

Crying solves nothing!

After a couple of sobs, Chu Yunxuan looked at the tripod on the ground and muttered to herself,

“It has come to this, there’s nothing more I can say, no matter if I was forcing you to buy the house or trying to extort you!”

“In your eyes, I’ve already become a bad woman who appears pure but is rotten inside, a poisonous woman who values money over everything and will stop at nothing!”

“I don’t know if the problem was with the wine or the drug didn’t work strongly enough, but this plan shouldn’t have existed in the first place; even if it had succeeded, I would have ended up becoming enemies with you!”

Wu Jie took a drag of his cigarette and asked with a sneer, “Do you really think that if your plan had succeeded, you would definitely have been able to threaten me?

Successfully force me to buy the house at a high price?”

“Definitely!”

Chu Yunxuan spoke calmly, “Once the photos and videos are exposed, Tang Xiao and the Tianyuan Tang Family wouldn’t kill you, but they won’t let you off easily either!”

Wu Jie sneered, “Heh, you’re right about that, but have you ever thought, if I can’t get by anymore, do you think I would let you have good days ahead?”

“I…”

Chu Yunxuan bit her red lip with her teeth, her head bowed in silence.

This was something she hadn’t considered.

Her plan took it for granted that Wu Jie did not dare to show his hand, did not dare to refuse.

She believed that Wu Jie wouldn’t, for a mere thirty million, become embroiled in an all-destroying fight with her, tarnishing both their reputations and rendering them both unable to continue.

But now that she thought about it,

She had oversimplified things.

Too clever for her own good!
