Chapter 705: Look Down on Women, Is That It?

Chapter 705: Chapter 705: Look Down on Women, Is That It?

Cheng Linye was capable of drugging people, who knew what other insane things he could do.

The old master felt that the best course of action was to capture him.

Cheng Linye was no fool, naturally not willing to let the old master take action; he immediately revealed a triumphant smile.

"You want to capture me?"

He tugged at the corner of his mouth, his smile an epitome of insolence, "Do you really think I came to the Cheng Family to curry favor with you all?"

"If not?"

"I came, of course, to take the Cheng Family into my pocket!"

Cheng Linye thought, since he had been exposed anyway, there was no need to continue hiding.

He had drugged most of the Cheng Family.

With these people under his control, he wouldn’t need to do much else to resolve everything effortlessly.

Cheng Xingjian saw his smug expression and felt a sense of foreboding.

The old master had indeed been very confused these days.

He might have really been fooled by him.

The old grandfather also reflected, wondering if he had indeed done something foolish.

After thinking hard, he couldn’t pinpoint anything inappropriate.

"Don’t think that by saying this we will be afraid of you, you haven’t actually done anything!"

Cheng Linye let out a derisive laugh, "It seems you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin."

As he spoke, he took out his cellphone, showing off his accomplishments.

The old grandfather, upon seeing the photos he displayed, immediately clutched his chest, nearly suffering a myocardial infarction.

Cheng Linye indeed hadn’t done much.

All he did was use the Cheng Family’s seal...

Cheng Xingjian’s expression changed as well.

Shi Yaoguang took a careful look at the content on Cheng Linye’s phone and chuckled softly.

"You don’t think that by using the Cheng Family’s seal to issue this order, you can actually have any effect, do you?"

Cheng Linye had always been wary of Shi Yaoguang’s capabilities.

Now, seeing her expression, his heart grew even more tense.

"What do you know?"

Shi Yaoguang gave a nonchalant smile, her demeanor innocent, "I don’t know much, just... that your order is of no use."

Hearing this, Cheng Linye immediately grew anxious.

"You, stop spreading alarmist talk here!"

"Spreading alarmist talk?" Shi Yaoguang clicked her tongue lightly, "Do you think I need to spread alarmist talk? You probably don’t know who I am."

"Who could you be?" Cheng Linye showed a look of disdain, "Nothing more than a woman."

When Cheng Lingdang heard this, she immediately bristled, "Hey, what do you mean by that? You look down on women, don’t you?"

Cheng Linye truly did not respect women.

This was evident in his attitude towards Cheng Lingdang.

He manipulated the Cheng Family by capitalizing on the fact that Cheng Xingjian had no sons.

With such a mindset, if he were truly defeated by Shi Yaoguang, he might contemplate murdering her.

No.

Murdering Shi Yaoguang wouldn’t be enough to quell his anger.

At the very least, he would want to chop her up into a thousand pieces.

However, he was only fit to dream about that.

He couldn’t actually do it.

The words Shi Yaoguang said to him were not a joke.

When she mentioned taking action, she meant it.

Absolutely no bluffing.

Cheng Linye just watched as Shi Yaoguang made a call right in front of him.

The person on the other end of the phone, very straightforwardly, told Shi Yaoguang.

They could help deal with the Cheng Family’s order.

Cheng Linye’s first reaction was disbelief.

"Don’t think that just because you found someone to play along in your charade, I’ll believe you! I’m not that kind of fool!"

"Of course you are not a fool," Shi Yaoguang agreed with him, "Fools are way smarter than you."

Cheng Linye looked at her with utter disbelief, "What did you say?"

"Did you not understand what I said?" she asked.

As she spoke, she also shook her head, "I’m sorry, I thought you were normal, but it turns out you’re not..."

Cheng Linye: "..."

Shi Yaoguang continued, "Since I have the confidence, I definitely have a way to deal with you. Isn’t that simple logic? Or do I need to explain even this to you? Eh, the fact that you can’t even understand this simple logic and need me to waste words with you is understandable."

Speaking, she shook her head again, "But none of that matters anymore, since you won’t need to show your face in front of others after this, you naturally wouldn’t care about your reputation, would you?"

"What do you mean I won’t need to show my face in front of people?" Cheng Linye immediately became alert.

Shi Yaoguang shrugged, "You don’t think you can tamper with orders and get away unscathed, do you?"

"I’ve said it, I don’t believe you..."

"Whether you believe it or not is your business, the facts won’t change just because you say so."

As she spoke, a hint of malice appeared in her eyes, "The person behind you sent you to the Cheng Family to fight alone, they probably didn’t tell you about the risk you’d face if your purpose here was to be exposed, did they?"

"What purpose could I possibly have at the Cheng Family?" Cheng Linye refused to admit any intention.

Shi Yaoguang spread her hands with a nonchalant expression, "Whether you admit it or not doesn’t really matter. The reason I’m even talking to you isn’t to hear you confess and submit to the law."

Cheng Linye wore a guarded expression, "You think by saying this, I will believe you? I tell you, it’s impossible!"

"Can’t you have a little less imagination?"

Shi Yaoguang said, pointing to his phone, "If you don’t believe me, look at your phone and you’ll see."

Cheng Linye, while still wary of her, opened his phone to see if there was any content on it.

At first, the phone screen was calm.

Seeing this, he let out a sigh of relief.

The look he gave Shi Yaoguang also carried more disdain.

"This is what you were talking about..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his phone started dinging and donging.

Then, he saw his own personal information.

"Profile Information (1)

Name: Cheng Linye

Gender: Male

DNA Sequence: xxxxx

Identity Code: 107

Background: xxxxxx"

Cheng Linye, looking at the information, had his pupils shake, muttering under his breath, "Impossible, impossible! This is classified, how could you possibly know..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly had an epiphany.

"I get it, you’re part of the upper echelons?"

As he spoke, he shook his head, "No, that’s not right."

For someone high up, there’s no advantage in betraying the organization.

So why would she do something like this?

Thinking carefully, Cheng Linye rejected the guess that Shi Yaoguang was one of the higher-ups.

If their plan had succeeded, the whole country, no, the entire world would be at their fingertips.

If she really was a member of the upper echelons, how could she give up the benefits within easy reach and deliberately expose his identity?

Moreover, from the fact that she had just asked if he didn’t recognize her, it was clear her identity was not simple.

His own lack of recognition was the giveaway.

Cheng Linye couldn’t help but ask her what her identity really was, "Just because I don’t know who you are, you suspect my identity? You wouldn’t be doing this on purpose, would you?"

"It seems that you still don’t realize where you went wrong," she said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

Cheng Lingdang, on the other hand, snorted coldly, "That’s why I told you to be prepared. My master, the National Best Actress! You don’t know her? Ridiculous!"

When Cheng Linye heard Cheng Lingdang’s words, he was completely stunned.

"Best Actress?" He looked at Shi Yaoguang in disbelief, the doubt about life in his voice almost tangible, "Just because you’re a best actress, and I don’t know you, you suspect me?"
