BXBX NOVEL Chapter 220 - Two -Hundred and Twenty: Intimidation
“Hey! Hey! Why did he leave?” Chen An asked anxiously. “What’s he doing?!”
Shi Gao’s heart turned cold. She looked at Yun Nan and said coolly, “Aren’t you afraid this will damage the Shi Corporation’s reputation?”
Yun Nan met her gaze and didn’t give an inch. “What about you? Aren’t you afraid your family’s reputation will be damaged?” She didn’t know the ShiA family’s background but understood human nature, especially these parasitic rich kids.
“Don’t forget about Shi Ke, ” Shi Gao haughtily reminded her. “Even if the Shi Corporation isn’t afraid of losing face, Shi Ke can’t have a wife with a spotted record. He’s an active soldier! He’s not allowed any flaws.”
Yun Nan didn’t expect Shi Gao to actually be so vicious. “Since you know that I’m an active soldier, you should understand that I won’t let anyone frame my wife!” a familiar voice said. The door opened, and standing at the door was Shi Ke in military uniform with an expression cold enough to freeze even the air.
Shi Gao dumbly stared at Shi Ke who’d seemingly fallen from the sky, but he didn’t spare her a look. When the young policeman saw the epaulets on his shoulder, he immediately jumped to his feet, knocked his heels together, and saluted Shi Ke. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, he was glared at by the police captain behind Shi Ke, so he kept his mouth shut.
“Big brother!” Shi Nian and Yun Nan both called out, delighted. Lawyer Yang also stood up; he didn’t expect Shi Ke to appear.
Shi Gao’s lawyer rushed in and was stunned when he saw Shi Ke. He didn’t know Shi Ke, but anyone could tell at a glance that he and Shi Nian were brothers due to their resemblance. The lawyer was shocked; he skipped the greetings and quickly said to Shi Nian, “Apologies, Chairman Shi. I’ve already informed our chairman about this. This… It’s all a misunderstanding! It must be!”
He turned to look at the young police officer handling the case. “Officer, do you think we can drop this case? We’ve reconciled. It’s all a misunderstanding. Our families are good friends. It’s the youngsters who don’t know better, bringing their small spats here and wasting the police’s time and resources. I’m really sorry for this. We can pay a fine if we can’t drop the case.”
The young policeman knew they must have resolved this matter some other way, and from what he heard, this whole thing was due to the injured guy and his cousin being unreasonable. He told their lawyer, “There’s no need for a fine. Since you’ve reconciled, just sign the papers and leave.”
He then looked at the police captain and informed him, “Captain, the other lady involved is in the next room. We had to separate them because they were quarreling fiercely. ”
Shi Ke was already walking out before the police officer had finished speaking. Feeling slightly exasperated, the police captain waved his hand at the young policeman, indicating for him to hurry up with the papers, and followed after Shi Ke.
Shi Gao’s eyes reddened. From the moment he entered until he left, Shi Ke never even looked at her. ‘Am I truly so undesirable to him? she inwardly wailed.
“Shi Ke,” she called, but Shi Ke was already gone.
Yun Nan couldn’t help but frown. She couldn’t understand this kind of reckless, persistent, and obsessive behavior.
Shi Nian pulled her along as he walked out. Lawyer Yang would handle the procedures.
“Yun Nan, this isn’t over!” Shi Gao suddenly reached across the table and yanked Yun Nan to a stop. Before Yun Nan could react, Shi Nian had already pushed Shi Gao—who had suddenly approached them—away.
Shi Gao was caught off guard and fell backward. Fortunately, Chen An was behind her. Otherwise, Shi Gao would have had a bad fall.
Yun Nan noticed that Shi Nian’s breathing had become irregular the moment Shi Gao suddenly approached and quickly shielded Shi Nian behind her. She looked at the two cousins who’d regained their footing and frostily warned,
“Listen carefully, Miss Shi Gao! From now on, if there is any gossip about Xiang Yang, I will hold you responsible. If you won’t give up, I won’t either! I’ve been in the entertainment industry for many years; I’m better at utilizing public opinions than you. If you dare to have a go at me, I’m ready to tango!”
Shi Gao’s face turned green and then paled. She didn’t expect Yun Nan to actually guess what she was going to do. ‘ This woman is truly obnoxious!’ she mentally fumed.
Chen An didn’t understand what Yun Nan was getting at. Although he liked this woman very much, he must stand on his cousin’s side. He yelled at Shi Nian,
“What are you all so smug about? Just wait until I go back and tell my grandpa.
You guys are dead!”
Shi Nian couldn’t even be bothered to look at this buffoon. Because he hated how that guy looked at Yun Nan, he used his body to shield Yun Nan and walked out without looking back.
They heard Xiang Yang’s cries and Shi Ke’s gentle, coaxing words as soon as they reached the corridor. Shi Nian and Yun Nan finally felt relieved. They looked at each other and smiled, then walked out hand in hand. They’ve got no business being here any longer. Although they were worried that Xiang Yang might be traumatized by this matter, with Shi Ke around, they didn’t need to do anything. The power of love was a better cure than any elixir or panacea..
