While eating, Jiang Yingjie also arrived at the villa. Tan Shuya sat at the dining table enjoying the meal cooked by the aunt. Indeed, when in a good mood, everything tastes delicious.

Upon hearing footsteps, she directly looked up outside and saw Jiang Yingjie walking in quickly. With a smile on her face, she greeted him, "Have you eaten yet? Aunt made two extra dishes, would you like to sit down and have some? The taste is quite good..."

The man took a few steps and stood opposite Tan Shuya, then spoke to the aunt standing beside them, "Could you please go to the kitchen and make me a cup of coffee? Thank you!"

Aunt nodded in agreement and retreated because she knew Jiang Yingjie was a doctor of Miss Tan. The two had a good relationship, treated as good friends, and due to Jiang Yingjie often visiting the villa, they had become familiar with each other.

After aunt left, Jiang Yingjie directly closed the dining room door, then looked at Tan Shuya and questioned, "Did you have someone kidnap Xu Qian and Song Qiao?"

Tan Shuya’s hand paused while picking up food, then looked up at Jiang Yingjie, squinting slightly and asking instead of answering, "Did you come here today just to question me about this matter?"

The man’s current attitude made her feel very displeased.

Jiang Yingjie didn’t deny it but didn’t answer her question either, as if by default, "I’m just asking you, was it indeed you who kidnapped Xu Qian and Song Qiao?"

Putting down her chopsticks, Tan Shuya picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth. She thought the food tasted good earlier, but now she had lost her appetite.

Sitting there without standing up, Tan Shuya leaned slightly backward, her gaze falling on Jiang Yingjie’s gloomy face, realizing the man was in a bad mood.

Was it because she kidnapped Xu Qian and Song Qiao that he was upset?

Or was it because she did something that upset him?

Or perhaps... because Song Qiao is Song Xi’s sister, and now she kidnapped her, so he was upset?

Thinking of this, a sarcastic expression appeared directly on her face, a smile devoid of warmth, as she spoke, "It was indeed me who kidnapped them? What’s the matter? Planning to settle accounts with me now? Or is it because I kidnapped Song Qiao, and Song Qiao is Song Xi’s sister, and now Song Xi is after you, so you’re feeling distressed?"

Jiang Yingjie’s face, because of Tan Shuya’s words, became even more gloomy, eyes fixed on her, yet lips thinly pressed without speaking.

Seeing him not responding, just staring darkly at her, she assumed she was right, and he agreed by default.

Standing up directly, Tan Shuya looked at him, "Jiang Yingjie, have you forgotten what you promised me before?"

"Have you also forgotten what you promised me before?" Jiang Yingjie asked without answering, "Before, I repeatedly told you, regardless of this time, not to act recklessly. Look at what you’ve done now?"

He stared intently at her, as if trying to see through her, continuing, "You kidnapped Xu Qian and Song Qiao, do you think your actions are right? Don’t forget, Xu Qian is not only Lu Tianming’s wife but also the current mistress of the Lu Family. Moreover, she has another identity, being Commander Xu’s sister from the Lu Battle Force."

Upon hearing this, Tan Shuya’s face changed several shades, yet she spoke firmly, "So what?"

"Commander Xu has always been protective of his sister. His love for Xu Qian is unmatched by others. Don’t you know, once someone tried to kidnap Xu Qian, and in the end, they were tortured by Commander Xu to the point of wishing they were dead..."

Although Xu Qian’s brother was the commander of the Lu Battle Force, ranked as the highest leader, usually very upright and never secretive.

But if Xu Qian were harmed, that man would surely turn into a fearsome demon.

Tan Shuya didn’t consider these things while doing this.

If that man learned Tan Shuya ordered the kidnapping of Xu Qian and Song Qiao, not only Tan Shuya would be captured and tortured, but even the Tan Family would undoubtedly be implicated because of her actions.

Tan Shuya also thought about this point, her face growing pale, voice trembling slightly, "I’ve already done it, what can be done now?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Shuya, did you do these things without considering the consequences at all?" Jiang Yingjie asked her.

Tan Shuya remained silent, lips pressed, indeed, when she initially did these things, she did not think through it, only intending to end Song Qiao’s life, making Song Qiao disappear from this world.

But because Song Qiao always stayed close to Lu Jingchen, either in the villa or not coming out, while around the villa were many bodyguards arranged by Lu Jingchen, she had no way to act.

So, she had to kidnap Xu Qian when she went out alone, then use Xu Qian to lure Song Qiao out, eventually capturing Song Qiao.

Everything went very smoothly, Song Qiao was now caught by them, but what Jiang Yingjie said made Tan Shuya feel frightened.

Directly focusing on Jiang Yingjie in front of her, she bit her lip and spoke, "Then should I let Xu Qian go now, will that work?"

Jiang Yingjie looked at her, his tone softer, suggesting, "Release Xu Qian, and also Song Qiao while you’re at it."

Tan Shuya directly refused, "Impossible, I spent a fortune hiring people to take Song Qiao away, for this matter, a few even died. I spent millions making them continue, finally capturing Song Qiao. I cannot let her go so easily..."

She initially wanted Song Qiao dead, that hatred for Song Qiao had reached the bone.

Now that she finally captured Song Qiao, how could she give up halfway?

As long as Song Qiao disappeared from this world, she could be with Lu Jingchen in the future.

In reality, she didn’t love Lu Jingchen that much, wasn’t insistent on marrying him. She was just unwilling, clearly being superior to Song Qiao in every aspect, yet Lu Jingchen chose Song Qiao over her.

Being robbed of the position rightfully hers by a woman inferior to her, naturally, she wanted to reclaim everything that should be hers.

Moreover, if she married Lu Jingchen, taking the position of Young Mistress of the Lu Family, she could use that identity to reclaim everything rightful hers...

How could she give up so easily?
