Rebirth: Pampered Wife's Counterattack

Chapter 51. Mantis stalks the cicada,Unaware of the bird

Yan Lun was surprised. To think that she would be unfazed by his threats. Her attitude was much stronger than he had expected.

"Boss, what do we do?". The middle-aged man asked him. "This woman won't listen to your threats. Do we really have to hand the person over?".

Hei Xiao had underground connections throughout the entire world. A small fry like Wang Liangping was easily caught within three days.

Ya Lun ran his hand through his short, blonde hair. "I have to ask my higher-ups."

He was only a subordinate. If the people above him refused to let go of the person, what was he supposed to do?

Ya Lun brought his phone out and dialled a number. "Boss, Fang Xinxin just came by. She said that she wants to see Wang Liangping in seven days. Otherwise, even if we take her life, she will ensure that the world knows that Hei Xiao is lacking in capability. She's too arrogant. Should we just get rid of her?".

"Are you tired of living?". The man's voice on the other end was cold and heavy.

"Of course not." Ya Lun rushed to deny this. He then made another suggestion. "How about we hand over Wang Liangping, whom we've already caught, to her?".

"No. Keep him locked up."

"But what do we do when she comes back in seven days?"

"I don't care what method you use. Settle this with her. Ensure that the organisation's reputation remains intact."

The man spoke coldly and hung up before Ya Lun could respond.

Ya Lun stared at his phone in frustration. He glanced at the middle-aged man standing by the door. "What do I do now?".

The middle-aged responded expressionlessly. "Killing her is the fastest way to settle this."

"I can't touch her."

"Then bribe her and seal her lips."

"Her fiancé is too rich." Ya Lun felt that all the available options were ineffective. "Don't you know that he gifted her ten luxury-branded cars today?".

The middle-aged carelessly responded, "Her fiancé has money but he doesn't have any time."

Ya Lun's eyes suddenly lit up. He slapped his own head in realisation. "Boss said that no matter what method I use, I can't allow her to ruin the organisation's reputation. We can't let go of Wang Liangping either. It seems like... it's time for me to sacrifice myself for the sake of this organisation."

"You plan to put your own life at risk to get rid of her?".

"I'm not tired of living yet." Ya Lun brushed his blonde hair back confidently. "I plan to sacrifice my body".

The middle-aged looked at him as though he thought he was asking for death. However, he did not stop him.

...

When Fang Xinxin returned to the car, Tong Yu did not question her about her dealings. He focused on listening to her instructions and driving her to the places she wanted to go. It seemed like he wasn't a chatty person.

Fang Xinxin sat in the co-driver's seat and asked him. "Do you have to report my whereabouts to Bai Qinghao?".

"No." Tong Yu understood what she was asking. "Boss only instructed me to act as your chauffeur. He did not arrange for me to act as a surveillance."

"Good." Fang Xinxin nodded.

The truth of the matter was, even if Bai Qinghao did not intend to watch her, there was no privacy in using one of his men as her chauffeur. This was because if Bai Qinghao asked, Tong Yu would surely answer all his questions.
