Li Qianfan's analysis was correct.
Bai Ziyan intended to hunt down Jiao Yin immediately after Li Qianfan left Tian Dong.
Bai Ziyan hadn't made a move before because she hadn't negotiated with Li Qianfan yet.
If she wanted to kill Jiao Yin, she had to get Li Qianfan's consent.
After all, President Jiao San was now considered Li Qianfan's woman.
Once Jiao Yin was killed, Li Qianfan would have to find the killer and seek justice for her, both emotionally and legally.
Several days ago.
Bai Ziyan had successfully negotiated with Li Qianfan and officially secured his consent, so she could now attack Jiao Yin with impunity.
This evening.
As soon as Li Qianfan's blue car stopped at the entrance of the Liu Shui Pavilion courtyard, Bai Ziyan, who had been constantly watching him, hoping he would leave Tian Dong soon, immediately hacked into the Liu Shui Pavilion's surveillance system.
Bai Ziyan had a premonition that Li Qianfan's visit to Liu Shui Pavilion this time might be to warn Jiao Yin and persuade her to give up her provincial capital base.
Indeed!
Li Qianfan's actions were not a violation of his promise to Bai Ziyan.
President Jiao San of the dark web was indeed useful to Li Qianfan.
If her life were ignored, and she were hunted down by that Krait, Jiao San's thousands of subordinates in Tian Dong would be leaderless.
In that case—
They would definitely believe that President Jiao San was killed in Tian Dong and would use terrorist actions to harm the innocent and retaliate against Tian Dong.
Especially with Jiao San's death, the Fifth President, who had long coveted Tian Dong, would seize the opportunity to take over those thousands of dark web subordinates and use them for her own purposes.
Neither of these scenarios was what Li Qianfan wanted to see.
Any fool knew that hidden enemies (the Fifth President of the dark web) were far more dangerous and terrifying than overt enemies (Jiao Yin)!
After all, when Jiao San wanted to cause trouble, she basically had to seek Li Qianfan's opinion.
Would the Fifth President of the dark web seek Li Qianfan's opinion?
"Jiao Yin, I'll say it one last time."
After making "eye contact" with Bai Ziyan through the surveillance camera for a moment, Li Qianfan sat up cross-legged and said to Jiao Yin earnestly, "I'll give you a maximum of 18 hours to arrange your withdrawal from the provincial capital. After noon tomorrow, you can choose to go with me to Modu, or you can hide somewhere else. In short, if you continue to stay in the provincial capital."
He paused.
Li Qianfan continued, "After I return from Modu, I might have to pay my respects at your grave."
Jiao Yin looked into his eyes.
After a long moment, she slowly said, "Fifty people."
Fifty people for what?
Jiao Yin was willing to sacrifice fifty of her subordinates in exchange for Li Qianfan telling her who wanted to get rid of her!
Li Qianfan shook his head.
"Eighty!"
Jiao Yin's voice became hoarse, "No more than that."
Li Qianfan still shook his head.
"One hundred, one hundred. This is my absolute limit."
Jiao Yin raised her hand and fiercely grabbed Li Qianfan's throat, her previously charming face contorted. "Li Qianfan, if you dare to shake your head again, I'll kill you! Tell me, who is that person who can assassinate me!?"
Li Qianfan shook his head for the third time.
To be honest—
Jiao Yin's willingness to sacrifice a hundred subordinates to get Bai Ziyan's name truly stirred Li Qianfan's heart.
However, Mr. Qianfan, who kept his word, after a full three seconds of thought, ultimately chose to uphold his promise.
Jiao Yin, who had revealed her ultimate sincerity, did not get the result she wanted!
Enraged, she opened her mouth and bit down fiercely on Li Qianfan's throat.
*Slap—*
But Li Qianfan raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face, jerking her head violently to the side.
Her words were right.
Many women, if not disciplined for three days, will try to climb the roof tiles.
And so.
After receiving a heavy slap, President Jiao San immediately calmed down.
She also became obedient.
She raised her hand and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Without continuing to act up, she got out of bed, grabbed a white bathrobe, and hurried out of the hot spring bedroom.
"She just deserved a beating."
Watching her graceful figure disappear outside the door, Li Qianfan muttered, leaned against the cabinet, and picked up his phone.
He sent a message to Bai Ziyan: "Are you watching me?"
Bai Ziyan replied readily: "Yes."
Li Qianfan: "I will keep my promise."
Bai Ziyan: "I believe you."
Li Qianfan: "Although the evil forces of the dark web will eventually have to withdraw from Tian Dong, the current conditions are not yet ripe. It is much better for Jiao Yin to be in charge of the dark web's business in Tian Dong than the Fifth President of the dark web. Therefore, I hope she can stay alive for now."
Bai Ziyan: "Where I am, she cannot be. This is my maximum concession, considering she is your woman. If it weren't for this relationship, and given how long she has oppressed me, I wouldn't let her go even if she were at the ends of the earth!"
Li Qianfan: "I understand."
Bai Ziyan: "I have now obtained a list of 23 dark web members. If you want it, I can give it to you anytime. Also, I will tell you a very important secret. But you must agree to one condition."
She wasn't lying.
Since she had learned of Jiao Yin's true identity, she had begun monitoring Jiao Yin's calls day and night.
So far, Bai Ziyan had identified 23 dark web members.
Moreover, all these members were relatively high-ranking.
Bai Ziyan had no interest in tracking the petty ones.
Li Qianfan paused for a moment and asked, "What important secret?"
Bai Ziyan replied, "You first agree to one condition."
Li Qianfan: "Tell me."
Bai Ziyan slowly typed: "Cleanse the hanged ghost on Chu Yazhi's back!"
Li Qianfan's pupils contracted slightly.
He said coldly, "Bai Ziyan, how dare you monitor me?"
Bai Ziyan replied, "If I don't monitor, I can't!"
Heh.
Li Qianfan sneered.
"Li Qianfan."
Bai Ziyan sent a voice message: "The day we negotiated, I left ZhiZhi Club around 10:30. I went to the outskirts at 11:00. I was in the car, and when I closed my eyes to think about how to assassinate Jiao Yin, I suddenly saw that hanged ghost. I saw you like a frog, behind Chu Yazhi."
Li Qianfan—
Genuinely did not believe that in broad daylight, Bai Ziyan could "see" what he and Chu Yazhi were doing just by closing her eyes.
Bai Ziyan continued, "You started before 11:00 and finished at 12:00. I clearly felt everything Chu Yazhi was feeling! We slept together from 12:00 until 8:00 in the evening."
Li Qianfan—
His eyes widened, his face looking as if he had been crawled over by Jiao Yin.
Bai Ziyan's next voice message had a distinct crying tone: "Even more bizarre and terrifying, when I woke up from my sleep, I found that I had become a woman. Why should I be implicated like this when you and Chu Yazhi were like that? What makes me want to kill you even more is that these past few days, I've actually started to like that feeling more and more."
Huh?
What!?
Why are you a woman instead of staying a lesbian!
Li Qianfan immediately felt as if he had been crawled over by two Jiao Yins.
If anyone else had told him this, he would have dismissed it as nonsense.
But the person telling him this was Bai Ziyan.
The crucial point was that Bai Ziyan subsequently sent him a progress bar, a video that was two minutes and fifty seconds long.
The time was 1:00 PM today.
Why didn't Chu Yazhi see Li Qianfan off when he left ZhiZhi Club?
She was completely exhausted and sleeping soundly in the lounge.
Li Qianfan clearly remembered how intensely the couch had shaken at the time.
Therefore.
When he saw the video Bai Ziyan sent, he was stunned.
If he hadn't been certain that the girl in the video was Bai Ziyan, Li Qianfan would have suspected it was Chu Yazhi without the hanged ghost on her back!
Every movement was exactly the same as Chu Yazhi's.
There was someone invisible, wantonly caressing her curves in Bai Ziyan's lounge, making her unable to control herself.
"So, I really am a monster."
After watching the video, Li Qianfan muttered to himself, "Then, what am I exactly?"
He felt an intense urge and sent a message to Sister Wujiang: "Mom! 22 years ago, what kind of creature did you give birth to?"
A shocked emoji was immediately sent back by Sister Wujiang.
Then came the affectionate mother's voice message: "Son, have you been kicked by a donkey? To ask such a foolish question!"
Li Qianfan—
Forget it.
There was no need to pay attention to this uncultured brute.
But Sister Wujiang kept pestering him.
It was annoying.
Li Qianfan decisively blocked Sister Wujiang for the umpteenth time.
His ears were finally quiet.
Alas.
Li Qianfan sighed and sent Bai Ziyan a voice message: "I don't know the specific reason why this is happening. But I know that I can't remove the hanged ghost on Chu Yazhi's back. If you really remove it, can you still let her live? Only when she is doing something that you can feel the same way can you dare not treat her harshly. Otherwise, if she dies, you will die too."
Li Qianfan had grasped in an instant what Bai Ziyan had thought about for a long time that day.
Bai Ziyan asked, "Then, don't you want to know that major secret? Don't you want to know about Jiao Yin's 23 important subordinates?"
"I do."
Li Qianfan said sincerely, "Bai Ziyan, please tell me."
"Dream on!"
Bai Ziyan replied with two words, then sent another voice message: "But don't worry, I won't monitor you anymore. Otherwise, you'll have your mother Jing Ran make a move."
Li Qianfan sighed, "Sister Bai, you're so smart."
After throwing up an emoji, Bai Ziyan ended her surveillance of Liu Shui Pavilion.
"What important secret did that snake pry into?"
When Li Qianfan closed the chat with Bai Ziyan, he saw a red dot below.
Ru Hua requested to add Nen Cao as a friend.
With the message: "Brother, please accept."
