Chapter 317: You Can’t Afford to Mess with the Person Behind Her!

Chapter 317: Chapter 317: You Can’t Afford to Mess with the Person Behind Her!

He Pingzhang gazed at the man curled up before him, unable to suppress the disdain that flowed from his eyes.

He methodically put on his white gloves and then stretched out his hand toward the black-clad bodyguards behind him.

The bodyguards hurriedly took out the cell phone and memory card they had found on Yu Yiyang and handed them over.

Looking at the photos inside, He Pingzhang laughed.

"How many pictures like this do you have?"

Yu Yiyang, frightened, hadn’t yet recovered. Upon hearing the man’s question, not forceful yet full of oppressive power, his brain buzzed.

He Pingzhang, with an unemotional gaze, passed what he held to someone nearby and then gave a signal to the others.

Immediately, a black-clad bodyguard stepped forward and twisted Yu Yiyang’s finger ninety degrees.

Yu Yiyang’s mouth, which had been stuffed with something, was now clear, and he cried out in pain.

"Ah!!! Help, this is murder! This is murder! I’ll expose you all!"

He Pingzhang smiled and said, "Did you ever consider whether you could leave this car in one piece before you expose me?"

His eyes narrowed, his demeanor seeming calm and respectful, but his words were terrifying.

"I don’t like to threaten others. I prefer to talk things over nicely. I’m going to ask you one last time, how many pictures like this do you have?"

Yu Yiyang, now both frightened and in pain, realized the man’s objective.

It must be that Jiang Li had found out he had intentionally sent someone to teach him a lesson!

With that thought, Yu Yiyang calmed down considerably.

The other party’s nervousness only proved the value of these photos!

He could take this chance to make a fortune!

Yu Yiyang straightened up, lifting his chin, and said, "To be honest, I have plenty of pictures like this. I’ll be straightforward and name my price; one million per photo. I’ve already checked, and Miss Jiang can afford this."

He Pingzhang still kept his smile.

"So Mr. Yu is after money, is that right? Well, that’s good. Money is the least of my concerns. How about one million for a leg, ten million for a life?"

Yu Yiyang was stunned and then blustered, "Who are you trying to scare? I know all about the methods of you rich people. I don’t believe she, Jiang Li, really has the nerve!"

He Pingzhang made an "ah" sound and crossed his legs.

"I forgot to tell you, the person who sent me is not Miss Jiang, but someone with the surname Gu."

Yu Yiyang snorted, about to counter, but then he suddenly froze.

Someone with the surname Gu?

Could it be the Gu Family from the Capital?

He hastily reassessed the man before him.

Legend had it that the Gu Family Patriarch had a capable general at his side, who had smoothed out countless adversaries for him in the business world, no less formidable than the eldery young master of the Gu Family.

This person always wore medium-length hair, squinted his eyes, and seemed humble and obedient, but in reality, he was bloodthirsty and indifferent.

Could it be... this man right here?!

Having worked as a journalist, he was well aware of this family’s status.

They practically had omnipotent control in the Capital, with numerous wealthy households even depending on them for survival.

To make someone vanish from the world was but a flick of their finger for them.

When had he offended such a character?!

The more Yu Yiyang thought about it, the more frightened he became. He, an ordinary citizen, dared not gamble with his own life.

He quickly crawled on the ground, repeatedly apologizing:

"I’m sorry, Mr. Gu, sir, I was blind to your greatness. Rest assured, as soon as I get home, I’ll give you everything you want."

He Pingzhang slowly took off the white gloves from his hands.

"That’s more like it. I’ll give you one day to back up all the data onto this card and then leave the Capital."

"If my people hear any more about you in the Capital or catch any rumors online—"

The man’s face suddenly drew near, scaring Yu Yiyang’s spirit away.

"I, I understand, rest assured, I will not leak a single word..."

He Pingzhang snapped his fingers, instructing the bodyguards to untie him, then threw him out like trash by the roadside.

As the car door closed, he smiled.

"I forgot to tell you. My surname is He, not Gu."

After finishing his words, the car door slammed shut.

Under the blazing sun, Yu Yiang’s back was slick with dense cold sweat.

Gritting his teeth in pain, he cradled his broken little finger and managed to climb up from the ground with a limp.

He still couldn’t understand.

How had the unremarkable Miss Jiang become involved with someone from the Gu Family?!

His cell phone rang in his pocket just then, and Yu Yiyang painfully answered the call.

"Hello?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

The voice on the other end was a woman’s, distinctly altered.

"You mentioned last time that you had gossip about Jiang Li. Name your price. I’ll buy it."

At the mention of those two words, Yu Yiyang’s legs trembled, and he hastily covered the phone, saying, "Forget it. I wouldn’t dare to provoke her, and I advise you not to either. You can’t afford to mess with the people behind her!"

Having said that, Yu Yiyang hastily hung up the phone.

Su Yinwan, having been scolded for no reason, was furious and tossed her phone onto the sofa.

"Is that reporter sick or what? He gets offered money and then gets angry? What’s to be angry about?"

And to say she couldn’t afford to mess with the people behind Jiang Li?

That was a joke. The Jiang Family was already in a shaky state. How could she not afford that?

...

Inside the Lincoln, He Pingzhang, having removed his gloves, slowly pulled out his cell phone and made a call.

Minutes later, a dial tone came from the other end.

Listening to the incessant gunfire coming through the receiver, He Pingzhang smiled faintly, "It seems Mr. Gu Yu has successfully acquired the goods?"

Zhao Lang clenched his teeth, wishing he could knock out the teeth of the person on the other side of the phone screen.

"He Pingzhang, you’re quite something, huh? You only sent me five people? You might as well not have bothered!"

"There were supposed to be ten," He Pingzhang cleared his throat, "but, my lord, you had me do something I deemed unnecessary, so you’re left with five."

Zhao Lang: "....."

He took a deep breath, trying to speak calmly and with a smile, "Could I ask, Assistant He, have you finished your business?"

He Pingzhang laughed, "Rest assured, my lord, I will definitely fulfill your needs to the best of my ability."

"I wish you a safe journey."

"Oh," He Pingzhang flicked away a wrinkle from the corner of his jacket, "The Family Head said, once you’ve handled things in South America, remember to report in at Saint Ambrose College in England. Family Head went to great lengths to get you in; I hope you finish it successfully."

Zhao Lang’s brow furrowed, a trace of resistance crossing his eyes.

After a moment, he pressed his temples.

"I understand. Get lost."
