Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Slapping the Face Hard
“`
Setting another trap for me to fall into?
I pulled out a chair, sat down gracefully, poured myself a glass of orange juice, and took a gentle sip.
“I’m not afraid. I’ve acted honorably, sat upright—I’ve done nothing dirty, I’ve been true to my own conscience.”
“Really?”
Jiang Jiaying sneered.
“I recall you being blind, not brain-damaged, so you shouldn’t have amnesia, right?”
“You’re right, I was blind for a while, but as to how I became blind—I believe you know better than anyone, don’t you?”
As I asked this, Jiang Jiaying’s face immediately took on an unnatural tint, her fingers tapping lightly on the table to alleviate her internal tension.
One hand fidgeted with the button on her collar as she squinted at me,
“What nonsense are you spouting? What does your eye injury have to do with me?”
Her voice was a bit hoarse, deliberately lowered, then she nervously stole a glance at the media reporters nearby, as if afraid of being caught on camera.
She unconsciously leaned a few inches closer to me.
This lack of confidence and somewhat panicky response seemed to confirm she was indeed the instigator behind the scenes.
“Last time, when Uncle Lin and I were launching the new logistics park, you brought a bunch of lunatics to throw trash at me, causing serious injury to my eye… and you actually say it wasn’t you? Isn’t that ridiculous?”
Jiang Jiaying took a deep breath, tapping the table again,
“Do you have any evidence?”
“I’m gathering it!”
I said only four words, leaving the rest for her to ponder deeply.
Jiang Jiaying’s complexion wasn’t looking good, but her lips moved without producing another word.
She stared at me intently for a few seconds, then poured herself a glass of red wine and gulped it down.
“Without evidence, it’s just slander… However, fine, since you’ve said as much, you suspect me of harming your eyes, so you hired someone to kidnap me to vent your spite, right?”
“Kidnap?”
I played along with her proactively.
This seemed to hit right on Jiang Jiaying’s excitement button.
Her voice raised,
“Yes, kidnap! You kidnapped me to force my fiancé to perform surgery on you, isn’t that despicable?”
“Really?”
“Or not? You woman, you think you can deceive everyone and hide it? I’m telling you, the eyes of the netizens are sharp, all your misdeeds can be traced.”
“Have you been kidnapped?”
I drank my orange juice calmly, smiling at her.
Jiang Jiaying seemed not to have expected my question, pausing for a moment before loudly saying,
“What do you mean by that? I returned covered in scars, the whole city knows I was kidnapped. Haven’t you been online to see? All those news reports, can they be false?”
Jiang Jiaying spoke very loudly, thinking that the louder her voice, the more it would overpower me.
But I knew she was just bluffing.
And at that moment, a figure in a suit with a leather collar strode over and sat down close to Jiang Jiaying.
He leaned back in his chair, smoking a cigarette, his playful gaze on me.
Though he remained silent, the aura he exuded was a bullying pressure directed at me.
