Song Zhi’s body was still trembling violently when she saw a pair of women’s leather boots suddenly stop in front of her. She looked up and her gaze swept past Shi Man’s straight long legs and slender waist before finally stopping on Shi Man’s expressionless face.

Holding her breath, Song Zhi trembled as she got up from the ground. She picked up the television remote control on the bedside table and held it between the two of them tightly. “Don’t come over. I didn’t mean to harm you. You drank that glass of wine yourself.”

Shi Man slowly took the remote control from her hand and threw it aside. She said sarcastically, “Do you think you can guard against me with this?”

Song Zhi’s pupils trembled slightly as she said nervously, “Then what do you want? 1 wanted to remind you not to drink that glass of wine, but you moved too quickly. You drank it before 1 could say anything.”

“Is that so?” Shi Man sat in the chair behind her and glanced at her. “Then how did you know there was something wrong with that glass of wine?”

Song Zhi pursed her lips in a dilemma and went all out. “I saw that attendant drug your wine. That drug was given by Chen Zong. 1 was forced to listen to him!”

Shi Man’s fingers tapped the table habitually. “Then who tied you to the washroom?”

“It was…” She looked at Yi Zheng hesitantly and made up her mind to tell Shi Man everything. “It was Bai Yao! She’s in cahoots with Chen Zong. It was the two of them who set you up. I just had no choice but to do as they said. It really has nothing to do with me!”

Shi Man sneered and walked back to Yi Zheng. “This is your cousin. Deal with her yourself.”

“No, don’t.” Song Zhi shrank her neck in fear and hurriedly said anxiously, “I also know something you must want to know!”

Shi Man raised her eyebrows slightly. “You want to use this to negotiate?”

“Yes.” Song Zhi frowned, her expression solemn. “This matter is especially important to you. 1 really promise, but you have to do what you promised me in the bar just now!”

Shi Man slowly smiled sinisterly. “Then it depends on whether what you say is worth keeping my promise?”

Song Zhi’s throat rolled, and her heart beat as fast as possible. Her face was red as she said, “1 was actually the first person Shi Jing ran away to ask for help.”

Shi Man’s eyes darkened, and her casual expression instantly turned ferocious and terrifying. “And then?”

Song Zhi was frightened by her. She composed herself and continued to say in a trembling voice, “Although 1 didn’t agree to her, I didn’t take the initiative to hand her over. However, when she found me later, she said that someone was already willing to help her. It’s just that she couldn’t trust the other party completely; she told me about this so that if that person played tricks, she wouldn’t die without anyone knowing.”

“Who exactly is that person?” Only then did Shi Man know how hoarse her voice was.

Three pairs of sharp eyes in the room shot at her at the same time. Song Zhi said nervously, “It was also Bai Yao. She actually wanted to use Shi Jing to continue finding trouble with you, but 1 didn’t expect her to attack Su Tang!”

Hearing this name again, Shi Man clenched her fists and gritted her teeth fiercely. “So it was really her.”

Yi Zheng gently held her hand and freed her palm from her nails. He held it carefully. “Calm down.”

He turned his head slightly and his sharp gaze pierced through Song Zhi’s heart with a sharp knife. “If you dare to lie to live, I’ll definitely make you regret having a tongue.”

Song Zhi hurriedly guaranteed, “Cousin, everything I said is true. I’m really not lying. After Shi Jing’s accident, I wanted to use this to look for Bai Yao, but I don’t have any evidence. Moreover, my family can’t match up to the Bai family, so I haven’t dared to say anything.”

Shi Man exchanged gazes with Yi Zheng and said calmly, “Alright, 1 can keep my promise. Moreover, on account of your intention to save me this time, I can forgive you. However, if there’s a next time, 1 won’t let you off easily. Shi Jing will be your outcome.”

Song Zhi shuddered. Thinking of how Shi Jing was covered in blood when she was discovered, her eyes were filled with panic. “No, 1 won’t dare to do it again. 1 won’t provoke you again in the future!”

Shi Man sneered and pulled her hand out of Yi Zheng’s palm. “Let’s go. There’s nothing to see here.”

Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and followed her out of the room without a word.

She walked very quickly and kept her head tilted to hide her emotions under her long hair, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

It was not until they entered the elevator that Yi Zheng realized that the eyes of the girl beside him were filled with rolling hatred.

She clenched her fists tightly and smashed them fiercely against the elevator wall. Her lips curled into a bloodthirsty sneer. “They harmed Su Tang. I definitely won’t let their family have an easy time!”

Yi Zheng held her hand tightly in his palm and sighed. “Don’t worry. Since they dared to harm you, they’ve already given up their right to live..”
