Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 626 - 606: Of Course, Acting Should Look Real
Upon hearing this, Jiayi became even more certain that the people from A Country must still be using some form of coercion on her.
She shook her head and glanced briefly into the distant crowd, recalling Huo Zhenyang’s reminder. Perhaps at this moment, someone was watching her every move and even every word she said. She suddenly pulled Anya’s hand and said deliberately,
"Why should I talk to him? Am I that close to him? You come back with me first."
"I can’t." Liang Anya couldn’t gamble with the lives of her father and brothers.
She had just seen it with her own eyes, the people from Beiming Hall were on guard at her family’s doorstep 24 hours a day.
That silent gunshot had shattered all her hopes of escape.
All she could do now was to try to meet Si Yuheng’s demands.
"Xiaoyi," Liang Anya steadied her emotions and quickly said, "He asked me to find out where the Crown Prince is currently staying. Otherwise, he won’t spare my daddy and brother, let alone allow me to leave smoothly."
Jiayi stared at her, "Is he the man who kidnapped you during this period? Is that right?"
Liang Anya nodded, "Yes."
Jiayi burst into a sarcastic laugh, "You’re standing here perfectly fine, why shouldn’t you be able to leave? Where are they? The people who have you under house arrest? Are they nearby keeping an eye on you? That’s outrageous! Come with me now, and we’ll go to the police—"
Cold sweat broke out on Liang Anya, "Xiaoyi, if I go back with you now, I might be fine, but it’s very likely that my daddy and brother will be in danger. They have great influence in Europe, and they’re keeping a close watch on my daddy and brother. I can’t take even a one percent chance. I can’t afford to gamble with their way of doing things..."
Xiaoyi hadn’t seen that man ordering his subordinates to kill someone. She didn’t know about that man’s past experiences and history, nor did she know the terror of those few days she was locked in a dark dungeon with the wolf-dogs, so she would only think of Si Yuheng as a normal person. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
But Anya had already paid a bitter price.
Jiayi narrowed her gaze, her beautiful eyebrows tightly knitted, seemingly caught in a great struggle and conflict. After a long time, she finally moved her lips, "Did they really threaten godfather and Brother Jue?"
Liang Anya, pale-faced, nodded.
Jiayi took a deep breath as if she had made up her mind, "Ya Chen is at the Yulong Bay Villa. He arrived in China yesterday and it seems like he might return to his country tonight. As for other matters... I’m not sure."
Liang Anya breathed a sigh of relief but also felt uneasy, "Xiaoyi, will this make Huo Zhenyang angry with you?"
"Do we even need to worry about whether he gets angry at a time like this? Your life, godfather’s, and Brother Jue’s lives are the most important," she said, furrowing her brows.
Liang Anya heard the suspicious voice of that man through her implanted earpiece, "Ask her, she’s already moved in with Huo Zhenyang and is even planning a wedding, why is she going against him."
This man was indeed very cautious!
Liang Anya could only calm her emotions, "Xiaoyi, I’ve read the newspapers these days. I heard that Huo Zhenyang publicly disclosed your relationship in front of reporters, and now you’ve moved into Disheng, even planning to get married. Won’t this defy Huo Zhenyang?"
Jiayi snorted softly, a cold smile on her face, "Others might not know the truth, but are you also unclear about the real nature of my relationship with him? He announced our relationship without consulting me, completely making the decision on his own. If he hadn’t threatened me with Zaizai, why would I have moved into Disheng? Right now, I only wish I could escape from him. Are you asking me if I’m afraid of him getting angry? I wish he would just drop dead from anger!"
Of course, an act must be convincing to dispel the other party’s doubts.
Liang Anya asked no more questions.
"Go tell them, now that they know, can they finally leave godfather and Duke Brother alone?" Jiayi clenched her hand.
Just then, a man’s commanding voice faintly emitted from Liang Anya’s implanted earpiece: "Come back."
She withdrew her hand from Jiayi’s: "I need to go now." Without even giving Jiayi another glance, she turned and ran out of the café. In moments, she blended into the bustling crowd, and Jiayi, chasing after her for a few steps, was quickly scattered by the throng.
Once in the car, a subordinate of Beiming Hall started the Range Rover, blending seamlessly into the traffic.
Once Liang Anya was settled, she caught her breath and angrily removed the listening device from her collar, tossing it at Si Yuheng: "Are you satisfied now? Heard everything? Can you keep your men away from my dad and brother, and then let me leave?"
Si Yuheng made a hand gesture.
The subordinate sitting in the front understood the Hall Master’s intent, opened the remote voice-controlled car screen, and whispered something.
The car screen flashed for an instant, turned a glaring white, and seemed to shut off.
"I’ve ordered the subordinates in Italy to return to the country," he said.
Liang Anya breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he hadn’t lied. There was no need for him to deceive her, as her father and brother were at least temporarily safe. She immediately looked at him: "Can I go now, then?"
Si Yuheng’s handsome lips curved into a sinister smile, "No."
"What do you mean, Si Yuheng!?" Liang Anya glared, as if ready to fight for her life, "Doesn’t the Mafia Gang hold to their word? How can you go back on your word! Not honor your promises!"
"Who told you that the Mafia Gang values their word above all else?" Si Yuheng frowned slightly, narrowing his gem-like eyes.
"That’s how it’s always shown in gangster films!"
"This is not a film," Si Yuheng shrugged, "And one more thing I need to remind you, Beiming Hall is not a Mafia Gang, we are collaborators with the Royal Family of A Country. Even the government and Royal Family show us some respect. Understand?"
He hooked Liang Anya’s chin with the barrel of a Browning gun, inexplicably disliking that she kept thinking of him as a gangster.
Heh, a gangster is nothing!
He played both sides of the law!
This woman knew too little!
"But you just said that if I helped you with this matter, you would leave my family alone and let me go! As the Hall Master, how can your word not count? Will your subordinates still follow your orders in the future?" Liang Anya provoked him with reverse psychology.
"Correct. I did say that once this matter was taken care of, I would let you and your family go, but the job is only half done. We have the whereabouts, but I still haven’t seen Ya Chen. So, I can only fulfill half of my promise," Si Yuheng’s eyes gleamed sharply for a moment, and he glanced outside the window, commanding the subordinate in the passenger seat: "Take Miss Liang back to Li Island. Wait for my return."
This man, he really knew how to do business!
Anya was furious, and before she could react, the subordinate had already gotten out of the car, came around to the back seat, and opened the door: "Miss Liang, please."
"Si Yuheng, have you no shame? A man who doesn’t keep his word! Do you know there’s a saying among us Chinese that a gentleman’s word is his bond! You’re not a gentleman; you’re a scoundrel!"
Finally having left Li Island, to make her go back? She’d rather be killed!
