Chapter 267: Threat

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The man sneered. Looks like you dont have any sense of danger at all. Or do you think s.h.i.+ Xiao cant do anything to you?

Tan Jing said nonchalantly, Dont I still have you?

However, the man said very coldly, I wont help you this time.

Tan Jings expression changed immediately. Why? I have already left the Jiang family. If you dont help me, arent you worried that you will be implicated if anything happens to me?

The man was clearly unfazed by his threat and said, If you think you can affect me.

After the man took a sip of wine, he said, Ive been hiding behind the scenes because I dont want trouble, but that doesnt mean Im afraid of trouble.

Tan Jings face turned livid. Dont forget that you were the one who came to look for me in the past. If you burn bridges now, arent you afraid that other families wont dare to work with you in the future?

The man smiled and asked, Young Master Tan, dont forget that when I came to look for you back then, I was actually helping you. Now, the person whos burning bridges is you, not me.

Tan Jing was speechless. In a sense, that person had indeed helped him.

Because the Tan family had always been dependent on the Jiang family, the relations.h.i.+p between the Jiang and Xu families was complicated. Most of them were in-laws, so the Jiang family naturally spared no effort in supporting the Xu family and didnt have time to help the other families.

Tan Jing was dissatisfied with the current situation. He knew that if the Tan family wanted to develop to a higher scale, they had to leave the control of the Jiang family.

Therefore, he had been looking for a suitable opportunity.

This mans appearance happened to help him.

Initially, Tan Jing didnt believe what the man said. The man wanted him to use the software company to frame Yuan Shu. However, everyone knew that Yuan Shu relied on a dirty trick to get to where she was today. Especially since Tan Jing was the mastermind behind this matter, how could he believe that s.h.i.+ Xiao would compromise for Yuan Shus sake?

Moreover, although he wanted to leave the Jiang family at that time, if there was no good opportunity, he definitely wouldnt act rashly. The mans suggestion was no different from sending the Tan family to the center of the storm.

However, what made Tan Jing change his mind was the mans plan. The idea that the man gave Tan Jing was very flexible. Even if he realized that Yuan Shu was useless a few months later, the software company was just an empty company, so Tan Jing could leave at any time.

Moreover, at that time, the man had directly revealed his sore spot. The Tan family wanted to break away from the Jiang family, and this man could help him.

Moreover, if Yuan Shu was useful, the value of the software company would be maximized.

Everyone saw what s.h.i.+ Xiao did after he returned to the country. Naturally, no one doubted how important Yuan Shu was to s.h.i.+ Xiao. That was why Tan Jing listened to his instructions and tampered with the software company.

However, even though the software company had closed down, Tan Jing was still worried. If s.h.i.+ Xiao caught him in the process, it would be easy for s.h.i.+ Xiao to punish the Tan family.

If the man didnt help him at this moment, the Tan family would definitely be doomed.

Tan Jing changed his att.i.tude and asked, I know that you didnt come here today to drink this gla.s.s of wine. You must have something that you want me to do. Why dont you tell me directly?

The man said, Tan Jing, you have to know clearly that both the Jiang family and 1 are beyond your reach. With the Tan familys current status, you cant even become our business partner. Although I promised to let the Tan family develop, you have to be capable enough. If you cant satisfy me, 1 will abandon the Tan family. I have many other choices.

Tan Jing lowered his head obediently. I was wrong. I will be more careful in the future.

Tan Jing suddenly realized that he had shot himself in the foot. He had just left the tigers den, but entered the dragons right now. The person in front of him definitely wasnt easier to serve than Jiang Chen.

However, in A City, power was everything. Tan Jings family started out halfway. They didnt have as deep a foundation as the s.h.i.+ family, the Jiang family, and the person in front of them. If they wanted to become more powerful, they had to cooperate with these people. No matter what their motive was, they needed to rely on them in the early stages.

The man then said, I asked you to check Mo Shu. Hows it going?

Tan Jing replied, We didnt find Mo Shu. He seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth..
