The nonchalant tone at the other end of the phone reignited the hatred Yuan Silei had struggled to suppress. Without much thought, she blurted out, Will the medicine you gave me have any impact on my body?

However, the moment the words left her mouth, regret washed over her. She covered her mouth, desperately wis.h.i.+ng to take back what she had just said. She feared the other party might grow suspicious after hearing that.

Sure enough, a prolonged silence followed her impulsive remark, leaving Yuan Silei on edge.

What do you mean? she asked.

After a considerable pause, the female voice asked again, What are you suspecting? Or do you want to know something?

No, Yuan Silei quickly denied. She realized she had been too hasty and adjusted her tone, saying, l just find it a bit peculiar. You asked me to find a way to deliver the medicine to Ye Lengan, but she doesnt need to ingest it. You just want her to keep it with her for a while. Does that mean the medicine has an effect as long as its nearby? Ive been carrying this medicine for some time. Will it affect my body?

She added, trying to maintain a calm tone to avoid arousing suspicion. Despite her deep-seated hatred for the other party, she knew she couldnt afford to provoke them now.

If she genuinely desired retaliation, the only option was to wait for Ye Lengan to retaliate against the other party. She couldnt do anything herself. If she was detected, it might bring disaster to her family instead.

The female voice responded indifferently, This wont affect your body. No need to worry. However, are you sure Ye Lengan will wear that talisman? Dont forget our deal. If you cant make it happen, then

Interrupting the other party, Yuan Silei rushed to a.s.sure, Ye Lengan has already promised to wear it. But, you know, I cant control whether shell actually wear it! 1 cant be with her 24/7, keeping an eye on her!

Thats not my concern, the cold female voice replied. If you couldnt fulfill it back then, you shouldnt have agreed. Since you promised, you must follow through. I cant let all my efforts go to waste!

Despite her intense resentment upon hearing the earlier words, Yuan Silei managed to control her anger at the other partys shamelessness. There was a clear issue with her health, yet the other party continued to lie through their teeth. If Yuan Silei hadnt visited the hospital for a check-up, she might have been deceived.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Yuan Silei questioned, Ive done what you asked. Youre not reneging on our deal, right? If you do anything to my family, I wont just sit idly by.

A cold laugh echoed from the other end. Are you threatening me? Do you think you have the ability to threaten me?

l may not have much ability, but Im not an ignorant girl, Yuan Silei retorted.

l dont know the nature of your relations.h.i.+p with Ye Lengan, but I doubt you want her to know someone is trying to harm her secretly!

The response from the other side included infuriated panting sounds, indicating the other partys anger.

Youve decided to be my enemy, havent you? The other partys tone turned colder. Do you really believe you can resist my revenge?

Although fear gripped her, Yuan Silei forced herself to remain calm. l have no intention of becoming your enemy. Youve helped our family, and youre considered a benefactor. Im grateful. But if you want to harm my family, I cant just watch. As long as you dont harm my family, I promise not to reveal anything about you to Ye Lengan.

With a sense of guilt, Yuan Silei nervously awaited the other partys response. Despite her firm words, she knew the other partys influence far surpa.s.sed her familys.

Hehe, as long as you do what I say, I wont touch your family. The cold laughter continued. If you dare utter a word to Ye Lengan, I wont just retract

my a.s.sistance. Ill also demand interest. Should anything happen to your family then, dont regret it.

Yuan Silei felt as though she had plunged into an ice cellar. She hadnt expected the other party to be so ruthless. Any action on her part would not only result in the withdrawal of a.s.sistance but also put her familys lives at risk.

How dare you Yuan Sileis voice trembled. This is a society governed by law. If you act recklessly, the police wont let you off.

A society governed by law? the other party scoffed. Do you think what youve done for me aligns with the law? You cant even abide by the law yourself, yet here you are, threatening me. Go ahead, see if this so-called society governed by law can protect your family.

Fear consumed Yuan Silei. She regretted her impulsive words. She hastily a.s.sured, l wont say anything to Ye Lengan. Not a word. But you mustnt harm my family either, or well face it head-on.

As long as you know whats good for you, 1 dont want to harm your family.

But if you fail to appreciate my kindness, dont blame me for being ruthless..
