Chapter 24: A Reckoning and a Promise

“Young Mas…ter… Liang sought me out himself. He said… as long as I… could get you… thrown into prison, he’d give me… anything I wanted.”

“Hmph, I want his life!”

“…”

Despite the severe beating, a deep resentment festered within Wen Ruo. Yet, at this moment, she dared not contradict Bai Mengze further.

Clasping her swollen, aching cheek, she no longer concealed the truth, directly revealing her connection to Liang Quan.

Upon hearing that Liang Quan had actually enlisted Wen Ruo to deal with her, Bai Mengze’s body trembled with fury. She yearned to beat Liang Quan senseless right then and there.

She vowed to punch Liang Quan’s nose crooked!

“Bai Mengze, I beg you! Just let me go, please! Wuwuwu, I was misled by Young Mas… Liang Quan, that’s why I…”

“Wen Ruo, you don’t need to utter such false words! I’m not unaware of the kind of person you are. I wouldn’t be so foolish as to shoulder a murder charge for your sake.”

Wen Ruo, who had been on the verge of kowtowing for mercy, felt her eyes light up upon hearing Bai Mengze’s words. ‘This time, I won’t die!’ she thought.

‘Hmph, Bai Mengze is still too naive!’

Once she recovered, she would definitely make Bai Mengze pay dearly.

“If you still want to cause trouble, I, Bai Mengze, won’t be afraid! Come once, and I’ll beat you once.”

Seeing Wen Ruo’s eyes flicker, Bai Mengze couldn’t help but let out a cold snort.

With her parents away, she had nothing left to fear.

Even if Wen Ruo wanted to target her, what did it matter?

If she could beat her once, she could naturally beat her a second time.

“Rest assured, she won’t have the chance to jump around in front of you again. Director Mo, I hear your connections in U City are quite good! I’d like to ask for a small favor, you understand what I mean, right?”

After Bai Mengze finished speaking, Ji Wenyan stepped forward.

For someone like Wen Ruo, it was imperative to cut the weeds at the root.

However, he would never stoop to an illegal act like murder.

Yet, making it impossible for Wen Ruo to thrive in U City’s upper circles would be effortless.

What’s more, he wouldn’t even need to lift a finger.

He was confident that Director Mo could easily resolve this issue.

If Wen Ruo returned to the circles of ordinary people, there wouldn’t be much trouble. But if she still harbored ambitions to climb higher…

She would absolutely not be given that opportunity.

“I understand, I understand! It’s an honor to be able to assist Young Master Ji! Please rest assured, I will definitely expose Wen Ruo’s ugly true colors to everyone.”

“Mm, that’s good. Oh, and one more thing! Do not expose any information about my girlfriend. Otherwise, if anything happens, you’ll be the first one I come after.”

“Never! Never!”

Upon hearing Ji Wenyan’s words, Mo Linbai immediately nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick, almost thumping his chest to give a loud assurance.

If he could leverage this opportunity to latch onto the powerful Ji family, his future would undoubtedly be smooth sailing!

After finishing his conversation, Ji Wenyan promptly led Bai Mengze out of the mall and headed towards the parking area.

He had to admit, this trip had been truly stimulating!

Not only had Bai Mengze’s beauty attribute increased, but he had also witnessed firsthand just how formidable her combat prowess was.

Recalling Bai Mengze’s physique attribute at that moment, Ji Wenyan immediately placed his absolute trust in the system.

Bai Mengze was indeed a woman with a growth potential of 10.

She was simply too powerful.

“Ji Wenyan, thank you for today!”

“It’s nothing. Seeing you bullied also made me quite annoyed… Oh, right, saying you were my girlfriend earlier was just out of necessity, I…”

“I understand! However, it’s an undeniable fact that you were dragged into this because of me. While I don’t possess much power right now, I will absolutely not refuse if you ever need my help!”

Bai Mengze’s gaze, directed towards him, held a resolute expression.

For Ji Wenyan’s extensive help, a mere thank you was utterly insufficient!
