Three years of cold marriage without sleeping together, why are you crying after remarrying a powerf

An extreme chill and malevolence spread from Yan Qi's body.

Yan Qi's voice was low and cold, carrying a murderous intent. He instructed Kang Liang:

"Have your informants, who are hiding among Yan Zhuo's people, take action and wipe out all the casinos under Yan Zhuo's control."

Kang Liang was startled, his eyes widening instantly, and he reminded him in surprise:

"Young Master Qi, if we shut down all the casinos, the old man will probably get involved."

Yan Qi gave a low, scoffing laugh, his voice devoid of warmth, carrying a chilling undertone.

Yan Qi said in a low voice:

"It's best to get the old man involved."

"The accounts of the casinos under Yan Zhuo's control should have been thoroughly investigated long ago."

Yan Qi cannot openly eliminate Yan Zhuo, so he can only use the old man to clean house.

Kang Liang immediately said "okay," and then asked:

"Young Master Qi, what about Shi Yue? Should we release her?"

"She's been so terrified of that dog that she's almost delirious."

Yan Qi replied coldly:

"Throw her out, then tell her that the man has the antidote."

Kang Liang immediately agreed and turned to leave the suite to give orders.

Along the highway in the suburbs.

The door of a minivan was opened by a bodyguard in black.

Shi Yue was dragged off the van by two bodyguards in black, who held her arms and she stumbled and fell onto the stone edge of the roadside.

Shi Yue subconsciously reached out to support herself on the ground and stood up. As soon as she exerted force with her right hand, she felt a heart-wrenching pain.

One of her fingernails on her right hand was gone, leaving only a bloody, mangled nail bed covered with a layer of dark red scabs.

When the night wind blows, it feels as if thousands of tiny needles are piercing the exposed nerve endings in my fingers at the same time.

A sharp, persistent pain shot up her arm and up her back, reaching the top of Shi Yue's head.

Shi Yue suddenly curled up, her back arching into a taut bow, the veins on her forehead bulging, and her lower lip bleeding from being bitten by her teeth.

A bodyguard in black walked up to Shi Yue and looked down at her.

He spoke coldly:

"Miss Shi, do you know why that person gave you the poisoned needle? And why that person is helping you?"

"Actually, that person just wanted to use you to hurt Miss Liang. He just wanted to use Miss Liang's safety to threaten President Yan."

"Miss Shi, I can also tell you that there is an antidote for that poisoned needle, and the antidote is in the hands of the person who gave you the poisoned needle."

Shi Yue felt a sudden, thud in her forehead. She looked up abruptly, her eyes filled with disbelief, and asked:

"What did you say?"

The bodyguard in black turned and walked towards the van, his voice carried by the night wind to Shi Yue's ears:

"The antidote is with the person who gave you the poisoned needle."

With a "click," the van's door was slammed shut.

The roar of the engine rose up, growing farther and farther away, and finally disappearing into the night.

On the wide suburban road, only Shi Yue remained.

A cold wind blew by, and she shivered, then coughed violently.

Her cough caused her fingers to tremble, and each movement aggravated her wounds, causing her excruciating pain.

She slowly lowered her head, looking at her bloodied and mangled finger, then raised her other hand and touched her cheek.

She not only needs to rush to the hospital to have her finger wound bandaged, but she also needs to get the antidote as soon as possible.

Otherwise, her face would be ruined.

She is about to be disfigured.

Shi Yue struggled to pull her phone out of her pocket.

Her left hand was already somewhat unresponsive; her fingers stiffly swiped across the screen, accessed the internet, and logged into an encrypted chat application.

Send a message to "Z", the only contact in the chat box.

[Please call back immediately, it's urgent.]

After sending the message, Shi Yue exited the app, switched her phone to power-saving mode, and walked towards the city center while waiting for Z's call.

Soon, her phone vibrated. Shi Yue looked at the screen and saw that it was a satellite phone call.

She answered the phone immediately, and a man's voice came through the receiver, with a hint of casual laughter:

"How did it go? Was it done?"

Shi Yue took a deep breath, using all her strength to suppress the excruciating pain, and said, word by word:

"I've just been arrested."

There was a deathly silence on the other end of the phone.

After a few seconds, the man's voice on the phone turned icy cold:

"What did you say?"

A cruel smile curled at the corners of Shi Yue's lips. She gripped her phone tightly in her left hand and said in a hoarse voice:

"I said, I failed."

"Not only did I fail to stab Liang Yu, but I was also captured by Yan Qi, and the poisoned needle has already pierced my face."

The man's voice on the phone suddenly rose, and he said angrily through gritted teeth:

"You actually got captured by Yan Qi?! Then why did you contact me?! Do you want to die?!"

Shi Yue said without hesitation:

"I only contacted you because I don't want to die, so hurry up and give me the antidote."

"Yan Qi's bodyguard told me that the antidote is in your hands."

Suddenly, a sound of something being smashed came from the other end of the phone.

The man's voice immediately turned ferocious:

"Shi Yue, are you crazy?! I've already told you, there's no antidote!"

Shi Yue took a deep breath and said calmly:

"I'm not crazy. I know now why you made me stab Liang Yu with a poisoned needle. You wanted to use Liang Yu's safety to threaten Yan Qi, didn't you?"

"I need the antidote now, give it to me right now."

The man dropped the pretense, gave a cold laugh, and said bluntly:

"Shi Yue, it's your incompetence that ruined the plan, and you still want the antidote from me?"

A resolute glint flashed in Shi Yue's eyes, carrying a ruthless determination, as she threatened:

"I don't care what method you use, now give me the antidote."

"Otherwise, I will tell Yan Qi our contact information, and Yan Qi will definitely be able to trace it back to you."

The other end of the phone went silent instantly.

After a long while, the man finally said through gritted teeth:

"You dare!"

Shi Yue gripped her phone tightly in her left hand, and challenged fiercely:

"You'll see if I dare."

"Anyway, I'm poisoned, so I'm not afraid of anything anymore."

"If I die, you won't have an easy life either; we'll go to hell together."

Shi Yue's voice was calm and firm, carrying the madness of someone on the verge of death.

The man on the other end of the phone fell silent instantly; only his angry, heavy breathing could be heard through the receiver.

Time passed second by second.

Shi Yue felt the pain in her fingers had turned into numbness.

The man's voice finally rang out again, filled with a gnashing hatred:

"Shi Yue, did you tell Yan Qi how you got that poisoned needle?"

Shi Yue's heart skipped a beat.

Although she had already told Yan Qi all this, she absolutely could not admit it at this critical juncture.

Shi Yue took a deep breath and replied firmly:

"no."

The person on the other end of the phone asked suspiciously:

"Really not?"

"Would someone like Yan Qi not have pressed you about the origin of the poisoned needle?"

Shi Yue hummed in agreement and answered truthfully:

"They interrogated me and even pulled out one of my fingernails. I'm in excruciating pain now."

"But I didn't say anything."

A cold laugh came from the other end of the phone, followed by a question:

How can you prove you didn't say anything?

Shi Yue replied decisively:

"Because you have to believe me, we're in the same boat now."

"Either we die together, or we live together."

If Shi Yue didn't reveal the source of the poisoned needles, then what she said was the absolute truth.

However, the man on the other end of the phone couldn't be sure whether Shi Yue was telling the truth.

There was silence on the other end of the phone once again.

The man on the other end of the phone seemed to have gone through a long and complicated process of weighing the pros and cons before finally giving in:

"Okay, I can give you the antidote."

"I will send you the antidote by express delivery, just like you removed the poison needle."

"However, Shi Yue, if you dare to play any tricks and tell Yan Qi how he obtained the poisoned needles, I will make sure you die a horrible death!"

A surge of relief washed over Shi Yue, and she immediately agreed:

"Don't worry, I won't betray you."

"But you need to give me the antidote quickly, I can't wait too long."

The man on the other end of the phone replied, "Okay," and then hung up.

Shi Yue looked at the phone screen and let out a long sigh of relief. Then she slumped down on the stone edge, a sinister smile creeping across her face, a sense of relief in her heart.

Inside the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.

Yan Qi leaned back on the leather sofa, with Kang Liang standing beside him.

After Shi Yue hung up the phone, Kang Liang immediately received an email.

In front of Yan Qi, he opened the email and played the entire recording of Shi Yue's phone call.

After the recording finished playing, Kang Liang asked Yan Qi:

"Young Master Qi, what should we do?"

A hint of amusement flashed in Yan Qi's eyes as he gave the order in a deep voice:

"Have someone keep an eye on Shi Yue, see clearly how she obtains the antidote, and then take the antidote back and make several copies."

Kang Liang immediately responded:

"Yes, Young Master Qi, the poison has been sent to the research lab, and the experts are breaking it down."

Yan Qi gave a faint "hmm," his lips twitching slightly, but he didn't say anything.

After a long silence, he finally asked in a low voice:

"Is she still with Lin Xiao?"

Kang Liang nodded slightly and replied:

"Yes, Miss Liang is still at Miss Lin's house. The people there reported that the lights in Miss Lin's living room have been turned off. It seems that Miss Liang will be staying at Miss Lin's house overnight."

Yan Qi fell silent again, his eyes lowered, his long eyelashes concealing the struggling emotions in his eyes.

Ever since he met Liang Yu at the shareholders' meeting, he has been wavering between telling Liang Yu whether or not he should tell him that he was the same person as A Qi from back then.

He had been hoping that if he didn't say anything, Liang Yu might give him a chance to explain, considering how they had spent time together.

Judging from Liang Yu's indifferent attitude towards him this morning, and Liang Yu's extremely hostile attitude towards him at the mall today, it's clear that...

Even if he confessed to Liang Yu the truth—that he was Aqi, the one Liang Yu rejected back then—the situation wouldn't be much worse.

The worst that can happen is that we never contact each other again, just like now.

At worst, he would just go back to the way things were before, and he would only be able to catch a glimpse of Liang Yu from afar.

After pondering for a long time, Yan Qi finally spoke again and gave the order:

"Have someone go to Lin Xiao's neighborhood and tie a blue rope to every single tree in the neighborhood. Make sure it's eye-catching so she can see it at a glance."
