Liu Jing’s teeth were almost ground to dust, her gaze towards Lin Xiaotian filled with even more hatred. "Since you insist on getting to the bottom of this, then I can tell Wu Jie clearly now that I did arrange for people to deal with his nephew."
"But my only intention was to use his nephew to deal with Lin Xiaotian."
"My people never intended to kill Wu Yuxuan, but in the end, Lin Xiaotian produced video evidence, and your nephew was so severely injured, and someone even died."
"If he truly wanted to leave evidence, why didn't he keep someone alive?"
"As the saying goes, catch the thief red-handed!"
"But all he can produce now is a video, what can that prove?"
"Perhaps he used some special means to threaten my people, making them stage this whole act. Maybe you could have saved your nephew earlier, and then dealt with it. It wouldn't have been too late."
Wu Jie’s face contorted with rage. "Stop spewing that useless nonsense at me."
"Since you've already admitted that you were the one who hired people, then there's nothing more to say."
The Wu family was actually not much different from the Liu family. Liu Jing was merely a daughter of the Wu family, and in those prominent families, women always held a lower position.
Even the eldest daughter of the family would eventually get married.
In the eyes of those influential families, married women were like spilled water, and could even be used as resources.
Wu Jie, however, was different. He was the Vice President and a pillar of the Wu family.
What was lost now was the direct descendant of the next generation of the Wu family. Even if this nephew was useless, he was still a descendant of the Wu family.
"Miss Liu is indeed as rumored. It's fortunate you are your son; if you were the eldest young master of the Liu family, who knows what excessive actions you might have taken."
"So arrogant and unreasonable, our Wu family will remember this grudge!"
"And today, I will teach you a lesson, to let you know that our Wu family is not to be trifled with, nor are we a pushover."
As he spoke, he waved his hand at the bodyguards behind him.
His eyes filled with anger as he commanded, "Knock her teeth out. I want to see if her teeth are as hard as her mouth."
"Today, I will spare your life for now. I need to discuss this matter directly with your Liu family patriarch."
"You don't need to spout any more useless words to me. Since you've admitted to this matter today, whether you did it or not, you are the culprit."
Several bodyguards behind Wu Jie stepped forward, their faces expressionless.
Regardless of whether the person in front of them was male or female, they only followed Wu Jie's orders.
Just as they were about to make a move, Liu Jing pulled a weapon out of a drawer and pointed it at them.
"I'd like to see who dares to make a move. This is my Liu family's territory."
"If you dare to mess around, I'll shoot you dead."
"After the last incident, I knew some people were terrifyingly powerful, so I specifically prepared a weapon to keep with me for emergencies."
"It seems it's useful today."
As she spoke, her gaze shifted towards Lin Xiaotian, and these words were clearly meant for him.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and lit a cigarette, as if he hadn't seen the weapon in her hand, and hadn't even spoken a word.
Watching the two dogs fight each other, he felt a surge of satisfaction.
Liu Jing, however, was gnashing her teeth in anger and shouted, "Lin Xiaotian, dare you say this has nothing to do with you?"
"You might be able to fool this idiot Wu Jie, but you definitely can't fool me."
"What exactly happened? I believe you know very well. Now, you must explain this matter clearly in front of Wu Jie, and tell him who is the real murderer of his nephew."
"If you don't clarify this, I'll shoot you dead right now."
"I'm not joking with you; I don't want to keep a formidable opponent like you around."
Initially, Liu Jing thought Lin Xiaotian was just a reckless brute with no brains, and since his strength was formidable, she wanted to use Wu Jie to kill him.
But she never expected Lin Xiaotian to be completely different from what she imagined.
He didn't just act recklessly; in situations like this, he had created an extremely troublesome enemy for them.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "Who gave you the confidence?"
"Is it because of that thing you're holding?"
"I'd consider it too short to even use as firewood."
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, his gaze fixed on Liu Jing, a hint of mockery in his eyes. "I'll give you the courage to make a move."
"But do you dare?"
Hearing this, Liu Jing's eyes began to redden with anger.
She hesitated, because Lin Xiaotian was too calm.
He didn't seem to fear the weapon in her hand at all. She felt that Lin Xiaotian must have some hidden plan, but she couldn't find anything.
Wu Jie also frowned. He had been full of rage he wanted to vent, but upon seeing Liu Jing pull out a weapon, he changed his mind. He couldn't afford to get involved with this crazy woman.
Otherwise, if she actually shot him, he'd be crippled even if he didn't die.
But he hadn't expected Lin Xiaotian to be so defiant.
To him, it was like he was risking his life.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "Scared now?"
"Weren't you quite spirited when you were threatening me earlier?"
"I'm standing right in front of you now, daring you to make a move. You don't even dare?"
"Come on, shoot at me. Make it fast and accurate. If your reaction speed is slow, you won't hit me."
Hearing this, the murderous intent in Liu Jing's eyes grew stronger.
Her original intention was not to let Lin Xiaotian die, but to cure Ye Lingfeng. However, Lin Xiaotian was being too aggressive.
"This is all your own doing, don't blame me!"
"Even if I can't cure Ye Lingfeng, I'll send you to hell now."
"You're too arrogant!"
"Die!"
In her rage, Liu Jing pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
A loud sound echoed through the villa.
Hearing the commotion, Wu Jie's face suddenly changed drastically.
He knew it was all over.
Since Liu Jing had already made a move against Lin Xiaotian, she probably wouldn't let him off either.
This woman was venomous, ruthless, and decisive.
He quickly retreated, shouting at the bodyguards, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and block her."
The bodyguards, however, were completely stunned.
