Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 996: With You Always (141)
"Xichen says to let you go, he says he will change all those habits you know about, Jingsheng, you can leave now." Tang Qingli immediately untied her.
Jingsheng, now free, raised her hand and slapped Chen Yunjing, "You beast, I genuinely believed you really liked me!"
Chen Yunjing looked up at her, "I thought as the former No. 1 female killer in Country T, you would be difficult to handle, but it seems not. There’s a reason Gu Xichen doesn’t love you, you lack the desire to be conquered by a man."
Infuriated by his words, Jingsheng slapped him again.
Blood trickled from the corner of Chen Yunjing’s mouth, and he was acutely aware of his predicament, "I’m not going to survive this, hit me as you please."
Jingsheng, however, didn’t continue hitting him. She swayed as she stood up, looking directly at Gu Lili, "Can I see him?"
"No, Jingsheng, watch your mouth. This time you’re being let go because Xichen requested it. Next time I hear you spreading rumors, watch out!"
Jingsheng nodded and left.
"You might as well just kill me. I won’t say anything." Chen Yunjing expressed a resolve to die.
"Won’t say anything?" Gu Lili was not convinced in the least, "You make it sound as if you had so much integrity, Chen Yunjing. I have ten thousand ways to keep you alive yet make you wish you were dead, so how about we try them one by one?"
She handed the whip to Qing Li, "Don’t let him commit suicide, beat him. Leave no place untouched, whip him until his flesh is exposed, then pour salt water on him and give him a bath. Let’s see how tough his bones are."
Chen Yunjing’s eyes widened.
Gu Lili sat in her chair, composed, watching him get whipped.
His screams were endless.
"Speak up, and it stops."
At first, Chen Yunjing gritted his teeth and refused to speak, until a bucket of saltwater was poured over him, and he confessed everything.
His confession was videotaped.
The video and his confession were sent overnight to the Gong Family in Country M.
The Gong Family sent someone over overnight.
Their attitude was exceedingly friendly, showing no signs of denial.
Unfortunately, Gu Lili ignored any of their gestures of goodwill.
She informed major global media outlets during the night.
Held a press conference the next morning.
At the conference, Gu Lili dressed very simply, with jeans, a black long-sleeved shirt under an off-white cashmere coat.
Her hair in a bun, with light makeup, she faced the media’s flashing lights.
"Regarding the incident at L City Airport involving Gu Xichen, chairman of Gu Group, we have identified the mastermind. I’ve called this conference to issue a very serious warning to people like them!"
Her speech was calm and composed.
"We have solid evidence proving the Gong Family in Country M is responsible. The evidence will not be displayed here as it has already been sent to them. The Gong Family harbored hatred towards Gu Xichen over business matters and went so far as to have someone approach Gu Xichen’s ex-wife, Jingsheng, to learn from her about Xichen’s bullet-proof vest material, then manufactured a breaking bullet. They even had Jingsheng call Gu Xichen’s family’s butler to learn his itinerary. The Gong Family is a prestigious clan in Country M, yet resorting to such despicable tactics to crush a former competitor is truly unforgivable. Today I make it clear; we will not accept any apology from the Gong Family in any form!"
Continuing, she said, "Now let’s talk about Xichen’s situation. With most of his bodyguards dead, he was shot five times, including once in the head. If he hadn’t raised his hand in time to protect the spot he was shot, he wouldn’t be here now. He is currently recuperating safely in Qin Garden, out of danger. It must be my master’s spirit watching over him from heaven. I want to say to those who are planning or considering such methods, if anyone tries this with Gu Xichen again, I will fight them to the end without compromise!"
