Xu Ruowei emerged, her complexion looking exceptionally grim.
As she drove back, her car was intercepted.
Upon seeing the man before her, her pupils widened, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at him.
How could this person be here? Hadn't she dealt with him? Now, why would he suddenly appear here? It was truly unbelievable.
"You... how can you be here? What do you want?" Xu Ruowei trembled all over, terrified. At this moment, she thought about going back to find Shen Xizhou, perhaps it was still not too late.
However, the man directly opened her car door, got into the passenger seat, and looked at Xu Ruowei, exuding a terrifying aura. He said coldly, "Xu Ruowei, you've been living quite a comfortable life, yet you've brought disaster upon me. Because of your affairs, I'm like a rat crossing the street now, wishing for death."
"Xu Ruowei, do you know? My current life is all your doing."
"And you, it's as if none of it has anything to do with you."
"Xu Ruowei, do you think I'll be content?"
These past few days, she had been preoccupied with Shen Xizhou's matters and how to deal with An Nuan. Therefore, the sudden appearance of the person before her and his sudden words were something she had never anticipated.
"Xu Ruowei, your life is going too well now, so you've long forgotten about someone like me, haven't you?"
"No, I haven't forgotten. How could I forget?" Xu Ruowei said, trembling all over. She was extremely scared. This incident happened too suddenly; she didn't even have time to prepare.
And just as she was about to get out of the car, the person beside her held a cold object, pointing it directly at her. With a triumphant smirk, he said, "Xu Ruowei, you want to leave, don't you? You'd better think carefully. Will you move faster, or will I?"
"I don't think you have that much courage."
"If I hadn't appeared, you probably would have never remembered someone like me."
"However, if you don't remember, I can help you recall. I think you'll be able to remember me then."
"Oh, right. If you think what I'm saying is too dry, then I can show you a video. It will help you recall what happened before."
"It's just that the content in that video might make you feel unpleasant when you see it. However, I'm only doing this to help you remember."
"I'm performing a good deed."
A video?
Xu Ruowei's face changed drastically. She wondered, a video? What kind of video could it be?
She had made him do many things. Thinking about it now, cold sweat broke out all over her body. She kept pondering how to handle this matter.
Xu Ruowei's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly. If she weren't driving, she would have really wanted to shout and question the person before her, asking him what exactly he wanted.
Xu Ruowei was truly on the verge of a breakdown. Why would such a person appear?
Her life was already a mess, in complete disarray. But now, this person's appearance made her life even more difficult.
She remembered that this person possessed a lot of unfavorable information about her. She thought that she absolutely couldn't let him expose those matters.
Otherwise, she would truly be finished.
Xu Ruowei's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as she concentrated on driving. She maintained her composure.
She kept telling herself not to worry and not to be afraid. Once they reached their destination, she would figure out a plan. Now, her life was at stake, and she couldn't afford any accidents.
What worried her even more was that if the truth about what happened back then was revealed, and Shen Xizhou found out, and everyone found out, then her life would truly be over.
Shen Xizhou no longer trusted her as much as before, so no more mistakes could be made.
Also, if Nangong Jin found out about the methods she had used against An Nuan, Nangong Jin would never let her off.
If the wicked things she had done were exposed, her life would plunge into hell.
Her heart hung in mid-air; she was extremely scared.
However, this person hadn't exposed the evidence and had instead sought her out. This meant that there was room for negotiation. Perhaps this person only wanted money.
If he wanted money, then everything would be easy to resolve.
Huo Yunshen had said he would do anything for her. Huo Yunshen had said that the people he hired would definitely not do anything extreme.
But now? This person, someone from Huo Yunshen's circle, could openly come to trouble her.
It's just that while she could have sought help from Huo Yunshen before, it was now impossible.
No one could help her now. Everything would have to be handled by her alone.
The car stopped.
"What exactly do you want?"
"Or do you want to get something out of me? Tell me." Xu Ruowei spoke firmly. She had no certainty about the current situation but could only face it.
However, the man remained silent, his eyes fixed on her, emitting an unfriendly glint.
His gaze on her made her feel somewhat nauseous.
Xu Ruowei suppressed it and continued to speak calmly, "You want money, don't you? How much? Name a price."
"Heh, as expected, it's good to talk to a smart person. No need for beating around the bush." The man said smugly.
Hearing this, Xu Ruowei finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he had come for money, then things would be easy to handle.
However, the man suddenly changed his mind and said, "Miss Xu, as for the amount, I will find a suitable opportunity to tell you."
Xu Ruowei was unwilling to let him go. She glared at him, "No, you must make things clear today."
Her gaze kept sweeping around, as if waiting for something.
Xu Ruowei's hand tightly grasped the man's sleeve, refusing to let him go.
The man looked at Xu Ruowei coldly, then slapped her directly, his eyes filled with malice. He said fiercely, "Heh, you think you're the only one with brains? You stopped the car here, you keep looking around, do you think I don't know you've already called for backup?"
"Heh, you want to have me arrested, right? That way, you won't be threatened, will you?"
The man became ferocious again and slapped her once more: "Remember this, put away your little schemes. I can see clearly."
"Do you think your little schemes can succeed?"
"Xu Ruowei, I know about every little move you make."
"You'd best behave yourself."
"If you have any more tricks up your sleeve, don't blame me for acting directly. It's hard to say whether you'll still be alive then," the man threatened coldly, and he brushed the cold object across Xu Ruowei's neck.
A stinging sensation surged.
