Chapter 108 A Slap to Chu Yan's Face
"Jiang Li, when will you ever clear your head?! Besides the Chu family and the Yu family, who else can you rely on? Why are you trying to block all your escape routes?" Yu Xuanchen's tone grew increasingly harsh.

The Qin family wielded immense power and influence in the northern part of the city, and their social standing was unapproachable.

Does Jiang Li really think she can rely on the Qin family for the rest of her life?

How could the Qin family possibly look favorably upon someone like her?

Without learning and skills, one will accomplish nothing.

Even he doesn't think much of her.

Qin Yexiao was only playing along with her because of her face.

A fool who can't see the situation.

“She doesn’t need any guarantees,” a deep, clear voice said.

Yu Xuanchen's gaze shifted slightly.

“I guarantee her.” The man’s face was cold and sharp, and his voice was clear: “As long as she is in the entertainment industry, whatever she wants or doesn’t want, I can give it to her.”

Song Qing, who had been standing quietly behind Jiang Li, moved her gaze slightly upon hearing these words.

Yu Xuanchen smiled dismissively.

They're both men; when a man gets carried away, how could he not understand?

He didn't think Qin Yexiao's interest in Jiang Li would last long at all.

"You should be grateful that your grandfather is still alive," Qin Yexiao said slowly, putting away the black scalpel and lifting his eyelids slightly.

Yu Xuanchen met his cold and gloomy black eyes.

The man exuded an extremely strong aura, a suffocating sense of oppression that made the surrounding air feel thin and cold.

A chill crept up his spine to the top of his head, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body tense.

His throat was dry and hoarse when he opened his mouth: "...What do you mean?"

Qin Yexiao's face was cold and indifferent. He did not answer his question, but said indifferently, "You just said that Jiang Li needs to rely on the Chu family, right?"

Yu Xuanchen didn't speak, but his eyes betrayed his nervousness.

Qin Yexiao gave a very slight smile and said casually, "Then let everything belonging to the Chu family become the Jiang family's. I remember that everything in the Chu family originally belonged to the Jiang family. There is only one person with the surname Jiang here. Returning things to their rightful owner is only right and proper."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan could hardly believe that Qin Yexiao would stand up for Jiang Li to this extent.

Her eyes were filled with jealousy and anger, and she blurted out, "So what if my surname is Jiang!"

After saying that, she glared at Jiang Li with bloodshot eyes: "Even your own mother hates you. She sent you away when you were little and didn't care about you at all. She would rather give all her property to your father than give you to her!"

The shares that Jiang Liyi demanded in exchange for breaking off her engagement with Yu Xuanchen were all left to her by Old Master Jiang.

"Who doesn't suffer bad luck if they're associated with you? You even brought death to your own mother!" Chu Yan's tone was sharp, and she gave a twisted smile as she questioned, "Jiang Li, what right do you have to steal what Jiang Xian gave to Dad!"

The next second, a loud gunshot rang out.

"what--"

Chu Yan screamed hoarsely, trembling like a leaf, trying to back away, but the police held her firmly in place.

Right in front of her feet, the marble floor was shattered into pieces, centered on the bullet holes!
If the bullet had been just half an inch off, it would have pierced through Chu Yan's body.

A group of people were horrified.

Qin Shan touched his waist and found the gun was gone.

He was unwittingly shot, such a fatal mistake...

Cheng Sijun almost felt like she didn't recognize Jiang Li anymore.

His terrifying killing intent sent chills down one's spine.

With the gun pointed at Chu Yan, Jiang Li smiled smugly: "Then guess, will the next bullet kill you?"

Chu Yan could hardly believe that Jiang Li would actually fire a gun. She was so frightened that her face turned as white as a ghost, and she shrank her neck and trembled uncontrollably.

The hall was deathly quiet.

On the Chu family's side, everyone's face was deathly pale.

Several police officers were watching Jiang Li nervously.

"Master Li..." Xu Chuang called out to her cautiously, his voice low.

Jiang Li withdrew the gun from her hand, propped her chin on her hand, and said in a flippant and arrogant manner: "Old Yu asked me to let you go, so I have to give him face. However, it won't do if my sister doesn't learn her lesson."

Cheng Sijun has always been Jiang Li's agent, and has been tripped up by Chu Yan quite a bit.

He sneered without any politeness: "People only learn their lesson when they lose something important to them."

Qin Yexiao instructed Qin Shan in a deep, cold voice: "Call people over and take stock of the property that originally belonged to the Jiang family. Make them return everything to Jiang Li, including everything that was raised with the Jiang family's money. Get out of this villa and don't let me see anything on them that doesn't belong to them."

Chu Yan's face immediately turned extremely panicked.

Qin Shan asked, "What about the assets under Chu Linfeng's name?"

Back when he was investigating Jiang Zaiye, he had already investigated the information of everyone in the Jiang and Chu families.

They had a complete grasp of the Chu family's situation.

Qin Yexiao asked calmly, "Whose start-up capital was it?"

This was naturally the start-up capital for Chu Linfeng's business.

Qin Shan said, "Chu Chengzhang married into the Jiang family, so he doesn't have that many assets under his name. What he gave to Chu Linfeng naturally belongs to the Jiang family."

After saying this, Qin Shan, without needing further instructions from Qin Yexiao, replied, "Understood."

In an instant, Yu Xuanchen realized what Qin Yexiao meant.

If it weren't for his grandfather, the Qin family could have made the entire Yu family disappear from Beicheng without a trace, let alone the Chu family.

Yu Xuanchen felt a cold sweat on his back.

I can't even imagine what would happen to the Yu family if Qin Yexiao took action against them today...

"Why! Why are you taking my brother's things! Those are my brother's assets!" Chu Yan struggled frantically, trying to lunge at Jiang Li. Chu Chengzhang slapped Chu Yan hard across the face, angrily shouting, "Shut up! Haven't you caused enough trouble already?!"

Chu Yan fell heavily to the ground in a disheveled state, blood immediately appearing at the corner of her mouth, and she felt dizzy and lightheaded.

Chu Linfeng closed his eyes. He had warned Chu Yan long ago not to provoke Jiang Li again.

Jiang Li was satisfied and threw the gun back to Qin Shan.

She paused as she walked past Yu Xuanchen in her high heels.

She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, a smirk playing on her lips: "You've found a good savior. There won't be one next time, so don't mess with me again."

She spoke the last four words slowly and mysteriously.

It exudes a chilling, sinister aura.

Jiang Li is tall, and when she wore high heels, she was almost eye-to-eye with Yu Xuanchen.

A single glance exudes a powerful aura that looks down upon all living beings.

Yu Xuanchen was almost unable to cope, standing stiffly in place, his face filled with fear and resentment, but he dared not utter a single word.

……

The group of people came out of the villa.

Qin Lin arrived with his men, bowed respectfully to Qin Yexiao, and went inside to take over the affairs of the Chu family.

Cheng Sijun followed beside Jiang Li.

While replying to messages on her phone, she said, "Yang Jingmo's trending topics have been removed, and related topics and articles have been deleted from the entire internet."

Jiang Li walked down the steps with one hand in his pocket, scrolling through Weibo.

Although all the trending topics have been removed.

But Yang Jingmo spoke up for her.

Yang Jingmo V: [There's something I wanted to tell everyone a year ago. The movie "Women General" received a lot of attention and achieved remarkable results, but no one knew that in the end, only Jiang Li and I were left in the audition process. Director Mu Erke preferred Jiang Li. But before signing the contract, someone spread rumors that Jiang Li was using drugs. I really wanted to post on Weibo to support her, believing that she wouldn't do such a thing, but Jiang Li stopped me. She told me to focus on preparing for filming "Women General".]

She is fine; the internet has demonized her.

I don't think acting in TV dramas is lowering my status. Good scripts and good roles are what we actors dream of. Let's not complicate the simple thing of acting.

I'm not as good as my fans think. There's no end to learning, and I'm still learning and pushing my limits step by step.

Finally, I've been looking forward to collaborating with Jiang Li for a long time.

The comments section for Yang Jingmo wasn't as chaotic as before; a small number of fans unfollowed her, but most believed in her judgment.

Some people even spoke up for Jiang Li.

Does nobody feel sorry for Jiang Li? They can pin such a rumor about drug use on her; this is clearly an attempt to kill her.

[Jiang Li is indeed pitiful, but today's incident, with so many Yang Jingmo fans suddenly appearing and stirring up trouble, it's obvious someone is doing this on purpose!]

[Wen Chi has emerged as a dark horse director in the last two years, and with Feng Xiao and Qin Shi, the investment and cast are absolutely top-notch in the entertainment industry. Yang Jingmo playing the female lead is hardly beneath her!]

Who is so opposed to the "Like a Dream" production team that they're targeting Yang Jingmo?

Yang Jingmo's words came at a time when Jiang Li's reputation was at its worst, like a timely gift in the snow.

Cheng Sijun, using Jiang Li's main account, reposted Yang Jingmo's Weibo post and replied: 【Thank you, Sister Jingmo.】

Jiang Li's alternate account saw it and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.

She put away her phone and responded meaningfully to Cheng Sijun's earlier words: "Just because the trending topics have been removed and the related articles have been deleted, does that mean we haven't been criticized by the entire internet?"

Yang Jingmo is a good student and has a great love for history and culture.

The top scorer in the liberal arts section of the college entrance examination that year did not go to Beicheng University, but instead went to Beicheng Dance Academy to study Kunqu Opera, dance, inherit intangible cultural heritage, and practice martial arts.

She puts all her energy into doing everything perfectly, and since her debut, she has never been involved in any negative public opinion.

This is the first time I've been subjected to such criticism and infamy.

Jiang Li clicked his tongue, his tone indifferent and flippant: "Getting involved with me doesn't seem to end well."

Upon hearing this, Song Qing turned her head sharply and said urgently, "Lili, none of this has anything to do with you!"

Xu Chuang pursed his lips.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy.

Qin Shan had investigated Song Qing. In his memory, Song Qing was a woman with a very low profile, who was quiet and introverted.

Seeing her sudden strong reaction, Qin Shan glanced at her.

Jiang Li looked at Qin Yexiao with a nonchalant expression.

Fox-eyed man spoke sincerely and earnestly: "Brother Xiao, you see? I'm really cursed by fate, I can even bring death to people. The closer someone is to me, the more unlucky they become. You got injured, and Sister Jingmo got trending on social media for the first time because of all the bad luck. Stay away from me, or you'll be safe."

Qin Yexiao paused as he opened the car door.

He turned his face and looked into her eyes.

The woman's eyes were truly beautiful, with jet-black pupils, an inward-curving and outward-sloping shape, and a hint of coldness in her smile.

They haven't given up trying to persuade him to quit.

Qin Yexiao turned around to face her, his voice deep and magnetic: "Demand more from others and blame yourself less."

Jiang Li: "..."

Then, Qin Yexiao spoke again, repeating what he had said before: "Don't worry, I'm tough, I'm not afraid of being cursed. As long as you're willing, I'll be able to marry you."

Jiang Li's smile froze: "..."

The heavy atmosphere suddenly turned eerie.

Xu Chuang stared at Qin Yexiao with extreme vigilance.

No wonder Qin Yexiao kept getting close to Li Ye; he was plotting to ambush our crystal!
