Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1198 - 1245: If You Don’t Seek Death, You Won’t Die

Chapter 1198: Chapter 1245: If You Don’t Seek Death, You Won’t Die

He Fangqing took a deep breath and said, "You’re asking for too much, I don’t have that much money."

Chen Mingsheng waved his finger and said, "You’re the financial director. It may be difficult to do other things, but is it really difficult to get some money or cook the books? That’s a huge company with assets worth tens of billions. Is it really that hard to embezzle ten or twenty million?"

He Fangqing said angrily, "That’s a crime, do you want to get me killed?"

"Director He, how could this be harming you? You’ve been in finance for so many years; can’t you handle this little thing? Don’t scare me."

"You... You know that if this gets out, I will definitely be convicted."

"Haha, you’ll definitely be able to handle it."

After all, the man before her was someone she had once deeply loved, but now he would do anything for money without any concern for her life. Such a person can’t even be described as human.

Shaking her head vigorously, He Fangqing said, "Even ten million is way too much; it’s too difficult for me to do this."

"No rush, I’m a very reasonable person. You can pay in installments, one million a month. But in that case, you’ll need to pay over a year, which means an extra two million, consider it interest."

"Can you be any more shameless?"

"He Fangqing!" Chen Mingsheng slammed the armrest of the chair forcefully and shouted loudly, "You were the one who ruthlessly ended things with me. So why should I have any consideration for you?"

He Fangqing looked at Chen Mingsheng, whose aggressive stance weakened under her piercing gaze. At that moment, He Fangqing tilted her head back and laughed out loud, while Chen Mingsheng, lacking confidence, demanded, "What are you laughing at?"

"What a thing to say, that I ended things with you... Chen Mingsheng, originally I was thinking of just giving you some money and getting the photos back, but you have been so shameless that I no longer owe you any sentiment. Do you think I’m still the old He Fangqing? Do you think I’m still that naive person who you could easily play and dump, only leaving me to cry on my own? Let me tell you, that He Fangqing is dead. The current He Fangqing is not someone a small fry like you can manipulate."

Chen Mingsheng was pushed back two steps by He Fangqing’s words, but he immediately puffed out his chest and said, "You think you can intimidate me? Don’t think just because you’re a financial director with some connections that it’s enough. You should know, if I release these photos, your reputation will be ruined and you’ll lose everything you have now."

"Who says so?" A voice came from the doorway, and then the door opened, and Li Yifei had already entered.

"Husband!"

"Li Yifei!"

He Fangqing and Chen Mingsheng both exclaimed in surprise.

Without even glancing at Chen Mingsheng, Li Yifei went over to He Fangqing and said softly, "Fangqing, it’s not that I’ve been following you. It was just by chance that Sophia saw you, and that’s how I ended up here."

Li Yifei explained as soon as he arrived, which brought tears to He Fangqing’s eyes, but what’s more important is that the matter she’s dealing with now is a humiliation for Li Yifei and something He Fangqing finds hard to face him with.

Li Yifei patted He Fangqing’s shoulder and said softly, "Since I am with you, it means I don’t care about your past. No matter what you’ve done before, it’s all in the past. You’re my wife He Fangqing, got it?"

He Fangqing looked up at Li Yifei, unable to stop the tears from flowing. Her emotions were truly complicated at that moment.

"Ah, I didn’t expect the chairman of the mighty Li Group to be your husband, Fangqing. What explosive news that is. And if it’s paired with a few of your nude photos, wouldn’t that be even more sensational?"

Only then did Li Yifei turn his head to glance at Chen Mingsheng and slowly said, "If you know what’s good for you, I’ll give you one million. Hand over all the photos." freёnovelkiss.com

"One million?" Chen Mingsheng laughed loudly twice and said darkly, "Do you think I’m begging for money? She’s your wife now, the wife of Chairman Li. Do you really think these photos are only worth one million?"

At that moment, Chen Mingsheng was extremely smug. If it were just He Fangqing, he would at most want ten million, but now that it involved a big boss of a tens of billions company, if he didn’t ask for a hundred million, it wouldn’t be enough.

With a sly grin, he said, "Chairman Li, I know you’re rich and care about your image, so I won’t ask you for too much. Just one billion, and afterwards, there will never be any of He Fangqing’s photos leaked. I will also disappear from Mile City. What do you think?"

"Your appetite sure isn’t small," Li Yifei said indifferently, his face expressionless.

"One billion, huh? That’s just a trivial matter for you, isn’t it?"

Chen Mingsheng smiled shamelessly, already thinking about how he would spend this billion and imagining that he would never have to use a woman to rise in status or read people’s faces ever again.

He Fangqing, furious, shouted, "Chen Mingsheng, could you be even more shameless?"

Still with that insincere smile, Chen Mingsheng replied, "Since I’m already shameless, I might as well be thoroughly shameless. With the money, you can live a happy life. Isn’t that great? Fangqing, let me be the first to congratulate you, wishing you luck in finding such a wealthy husband."

He Fangqing gritted her teeth and said, "You’re congratulating yourself on finding a cash cow to milk for a large sum, aren’t you?"

"Haha, don’t say that. After all, you’ll be a billionaire’s wife, and me, just getting a little spending money, isn’t too much, is it?"

"You... you..." He Fangqing trembled all over with anger.

Li Yifei wrapped his arms around He Fangqing’s waist, speaking slowly: "Okay, I’ll give it to you, but I’ll give you the money tomorrow."

"That’s the spirit, Chairman Li is indeed a man of his word, admirable. Then let’s agree on tomorrow." Chen Mingsheng immediately agreed.

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Wife, let’s go then."

He Fangqing protested urgently: "Husband, no, we can’t give him that much money."

Li Yifei smiled faintly and said, "Money is meant to be earned. I can’t let you suffer the slightest grievance. Anyone who causes you grief will be punished."

"But..."

"A little money, it’s nothing. Let’s go." Li Yifei exerted a small force with his arm, hugging He Fangqing as he walked out.

Despite her extreme reluctance, He Fangqing couldn’t voice any objections as Li Yifei had made his decision. However, her mood was terribly sour, not because of the money, but because this situation made her unsure of how to face Li Yifei now.

Having descended the stairs, He Fangqing sat in Li Yifei’s car, head down, overwhelmed with guilt and a deep sense of powerlessness.

Li Yifei didn’t speak either. Instead, he brought He Fangqing to a place, and it was only when she realized this wasn’t her home did she start looking around.

"Remember this place?" Li Yifei asked as he pulled He Fangqing to sit down.

He Fangqing looked more carefully and recognized that this was a bar; she then remembered what place this was and stuttered: "This is... this is... the bar where we first met."

"Right, this bar," he replied.

"Why... why did you bring me here?" He Fangqing asked nervously.

Li Yifei smiled slightly and said, "This is where we first met. Even then, I knew you were a divorced woman. Now let me ask you, if I wanted to take your nude photos now, would you let me?"

"Of course I would!" He Fangqing answered without hesitation.

Li Yifei continued: "There you have it. Back then, Chen Mingsheng was your husband, so naturally, you’d let him take such photos. It’s a normal thing. If I minded that, it would mean I also minded that you had been married before."

After a pause, Li Yifei added, "Now that you’re with me, you have to see me with other women every day. What’s more upsetting—photos, or seeing it in real life?"

"I’m not upset now, am I?"

"You’ve grown accustomed to it. But the reality is that I’m with other women, and if that bothers you, then you can’t be with me. Your sacrifices for me have been immense. Compared to your past, how could I possibly mind?"

"Husband... I... I really don’t remember letting him take nude pictures of me." Tears started to flow uncontrollably from He Fangqing’s eyes.

Li Yifei patted the back of He Fangqing’s hand and said, "Alright, I believe you. Don’t think too much about it. You have to be clear, you’re my wife now—that’s all you need to remember."

He Fangqing nodded, but her heart was still twisted in knots. She didn’t know if Li Yifei would truly be undisturbed upon seeing such photos. Men are usually very sensitive about these matters.

"Husband... are you really going to give that guy the money?" He Fangqing brought up another concern, looking at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "I won’t give it to him. I, Li Yifei, am not someone easily intimidated."

"What about the photos?" He Fangqing asked anxiously.

"Don’t worry, the photos will never be leaked." He Fangqing took He Fangqing’s hand in his and said somberly, "Some people, they dig their own graves; they can’t blame anyone else for what happens."

"What... what are you going to do to him?" He Fangqing asked cautiously.

"If I told you I wouldn’t let him appear in this world again, would you blame me?"

He Fangqing bit her lip and said, "I don’t blame you. You are my husband, and he’s someone with ill intentions towards me, utterly shameless at that. But I don’t want our Li family to suffer any consequence because of such a scum. Lin Qiong is an upright police officer, and if she finds out, she would be unhappy as well."

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Then rest assured. If I, Li Yifei, can’t handle even this small matter, that would be too incompetent."

Those who do not court death will not die. It was Chen Mingsheng’s actions that, for the first time, made Li Yifei feel murderous intent toward an ordinary person.
