Chapter 379: Chapter 379 Mouse Droppings and Rice Grains_1
Although Xiao Ming painted a very bleak picture of her, the fact that Jiang Nanxi became a leader in a mysterious organization in her twenties speaks volumes about her substantial qualities.
Xiao Ming suddenly made a move that caught her off guard, and in her panic, she didn’t know how to solve the problem, but as she was backed into a corner with no way out, her mind suddenly cleared.
She regained her usual cool demeanor, briefly glanced at An Kefang, and said, "Mr. Xiao, I think I need to remind you that you are steadily pushing Miss An into a very embarrassing and dangerous situation."
"Ah?" An Kefang became perplexed again, "What did I do wrong?"
"You heard things you shouldn’t have," Jiang Nanxi stated. "And in this world, the only ones who can keep a secret for sure are the dead."
Startled, An Kefang without thinking moved closer to Xiao Ming’s side and said weakly, "I don’t understand most of what you’re talking about, I don’t even know how to snitch or whom to snitch to."
Jiang Nanxi shook her head: "That’s not important. Shouldn’t have heard means shouldn’t have heard, you..."
"Jiang Nanxi, are you deliberately ignoring me?" Xiao Ming spoke up.
"Sorry, Mr. Xiao." Jiang Nanxi lowered her eyelids, "I was simply stating a fact to Miss An. My apologies."
"You say I’m pushing her into danger, but how did she get involved in the first place?" Xiao Ming scoffed, "Miss Jiang wouldn’t have forgotten about the coat on the rooftop last night so quickly!"
Jiang Nanxi pursed her lips and nodded: "Indeed, I initiated it. If anything happens to Miss An, it’s not Mr. Xiao’s responsibility."
"If something happens to her, I’ll take a loudspeaker to the streets and broadcast the Red Lotus Society, turning your so-called secrets into public gossip."
Jiang Nanxi’s expression tightened, and An Kefang incredulously turned to look at Xiao Ming.
"That would lead to many deaths."
Xiao Ming shrugged indifferently: "You said it yourself, it has nothing to do with me."
Jiang Nanxi’s brow furrowed as she stared at him intently, as if trying to see through his flesh and delve into his heart.
This man was too peculiar.
In just three meetings, he became more arrogant, more unrestrained, and more unpredictable than the last.
He seemed to be full of weaknesses, yet no one could find a place to strike.
Like a spoiled brat, one couldn’t use logic to predict what he would say or do next.
How could he be so brazen without fearing being killed?
What was he relying on?
Did he really think the Red Lotus Society’s patience with him was limitless?
Unable to comprehend, Jiang Nanxi decided to set it aside for the moment.
She shook her head and said, "I will report your request to the Saint, but as for the outcome, nobody knows."
"I know."
Xiao Ming confidently smiled, "He won’t come, but ’The Saint’ definitely will."
Jiang Nanxi narrowed her eyes, "Then Lin Jingyou..."
"As long as he doesn’t provoke me, the video won’t be uploaded online."
Hearing this, Jiang Nanxi couldn’t help but silently sigh: As expected, Xiao Ming’s target was the Hao Family.
Without Lin Jingyou, the Hao Family would essentially lose their biggest protection, and on their own, that bunch of fools wouldn’t stand a chance against Xiao Ming.
Looking at An Kefang by Xiao Ming’s side, Jiang Nanxi said, "Mr. Xiao, let me give you a ballpark: To us, you are worth much more than the Hao Family.
However, whether or not you can bring greater benefits than the combined effort of the Hao, Wu, An, and Chang families remains to be seen.
The four families have been advancing and retreating together for decades, closely bound to share both glory and disaster.
If the Hao family falls, the other three will inevitably suffer, which is something we do not wish to see.
Even if we agree, do you not care at all about how Miss An feels?"
Without any hesitation, Xiao Ming shook his head, "If there is a rat dropping in the rice, the entire pot must be thrown away. Now you’re suggesting that if there’s a clean grain amongst a pot full of rat droppings, I should close my eyes and swallow it?
That’s not logical."
An Kefang’s eyes dimmed beside him.
Although she agreed with Xiao Ming’s words and didn’t know what she was hoping for, she felt inexplicably disappointed.
Jiang Nanxi let out a deep sigh, "Alright! The same words apply, whether or not Mr. Xiao can get what he wants will be decided by the Saint personally."
"That’s why I insist he come in person!" Xiao Ming spread his hands, "You can’t make decisions here, so what’s the use of putting on a stern face and playing Bodhisattva?
Sophie is at least better; at the very least, I can go to her to ’pass the time’ when lonely."
Jiang Nanxi clearly did not like being compared to Sophie, and with a stern face, she said, "Mr. Xiao, I said that to remind you, if you want to increase the likelihood of your demands being met, you should at least try to show some value.
Empty talk and not even willing to offer a glimpse of a promise, hoping for the Saint to reveal himself? Pure fantasy!"
"Reveal himself? You really have a way with words, almost convincing yourself, aren’t you!"
Xiao Ming scoffed mockingly, then added, "Tell your Saint that for him, the Infinite Society is just an embellishment, far from a trump card.
What I can offer is an ace of spades that could elevate his game.
Believe it or not, that’s up to him. Whether he wants it or not, that’s up to him.
But whether I give it or how I give it, that’s up to me."
