After bantering with Li Wei, Ye Qian finally stood up and walked over to Xu Ya Ying. He smiled slightly as he said, “Miss Xu, it’s been a while. Do you still remember me?”

“I… I remember. You are Lin Rou Rou’s boyfriend,” Xu Ya Ying said, trembling in fear.

“Miss Xu’s memory ain’t bad,” Ye Qian said, smiling blankly, “Miss Xu must know why I sent somebody over to get you.”

“I… I don’t know,” Xu Ya Ying replied fearfully, “You know, I’m just an ordinary rank and file office worker. I don’t have money. Mr. Ye, please, for the sake of Rou Rou, let me go.”

Ye Qian knitted his brows and said, “Is Ms. Xu insulting my intelligence? I know you don’t have the ability to frame me, and I also don’t wish to harm you. Just tell me who it is and it will be fine.”

Xu Ya Ying knew that she couldn’t bluff her way out of this. She inwardly cursed Ouyang Tian Ming. He had promised her that Ye Qian would not find out her involvement until he was in court, yet here he was now, unexpectedly knowing everything already. He practically pushed her into a pit of fire.

“Boss, this lady’s mouth is still tightly shut. Let me handle it. I’ll give her a taste of Manchurian torture methods. I don’t believe she’ll be unwilling to speak then.” Li Wei said as he walked over to Ye Qian’s side and looked atXu Ya Ying with fierce eyes.

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you!” Xu Ya Ying said in fear, “But you must promise me, you can’t tell him it was me that told you, or I would be dead for sure.” Xu Ya Ying understood how cruel Ouyang Tian Ming could be. To him, killing people was just like a game. If he found out that it was her that gave him away, she wouldn’t be able to live in Shanghai anymore.

“Cha, you still dare to bargain?” Li Wei bellowed ferociously.

T/N: Cha is a dismissive sound used by Chinese similar to Pfft

Ye Qian smiled indifferently and replied, “The truth is, even if you don’t tell me I can still find out who it is. I was only giving you a chance. If you won’t take it, then you can’t blame me for what happens.” After saying this, Ye Qian turned to leave. It looked as if he was going to leave Xu Ya Ying in Li Wei’s hands.

Xu Ya Ying was acquainted with Ye Qian so she was a little less afraid of him. She did not know Li Wei at all which made her incredibly frightened. When she saw that Ye Qian was about leave, her mouth took off like a motor as she released a flurry of words. Kneeling at Ye Qian’s feet, her head against his calf, she said, “I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you. It’s Ouyang Tian Ming, it was all Ouyang Tian Ming.”

“Ouyang Tian Ming?” Ye Qian muttered to himself. Ye Qian wasn’t very familiar with Ouyang Tian Ming. He had only met him a couple of times, once at the Bewitched Bar and once in the school. Ye Qian did not pay much attention to guys that relied on the power of their fathers to lord over others. When he had seen him in French cla.s.sroom number 3, Ye Qian was taken aback, there was a feeling of it being such a small world. He had not felt anything peculiar about him at the time. Who knew this fellow was so treacherous after all.

“What about Zhao Xie? Who killed Zhao Xie?” Ye Qian asked.

“It was Ouyang Tian Ming, he killed Zhao Xie,” Xu Ya Ying replied in a flurry.

Ye Qian was shocked. Just for the sake of harming him, Ouyang Tian Mingreally went so far as to kill somebody himself to frame him? It was too idiotic. “Why did he kill Zhao Xie?” Ye Qian asked.

“Because… because Zhao Xie found out that Ouyang Tian Ming…” Xu Ya Ying stammered.

Xu Ya Ying didn’t have to say it, Ye Qian could already guess. It must mean that Xu Ya Ying was seduced by Ouyang Tian Ming and had been discovered by Zhao Xie in the middle of their business. So it ended withOuyang Tian Ming killing Zhao Xie, then deciding in the end to put the blame on Ye Qian, to kill two birds with one stone. “Then he told you to say that you saw me kill Zhao Xie with your own eyes, and made his father put pressure on the people below, using the police to shoot me, because dead men can’t talk, right?” Ye Qian said.

Xu Ya Ying nodded her head silently. She looked at Ye Qian in alarm and said, “I told you everything, now let me go. I don’t want to die. Right, right, there’s more. I have a videotape of Ouyang Tian Ming killing Zhao Xie.”

“What?” Ye Qian knit his brows, asking in surprise, “How can such a thing exist?”

“Ouyang Tian Ming has a strange hobby, he likes to film the act. Zhao Xie came so suddenly, there was no time to deal with the camcorder. It could be that Ouyang Tian Ming had forgotten it at that moment, at which point I took the videotape and hid it. I was going to use it to threaten him if he were ever to turn against me,” Xu Ya Ying explained honestly.

The saying, “a woman is the most poisonous”, is true after all, Ye Qianthought to himself. He never expected though that Ouyang Tian Mingwould have such a hobby. His eyes couldn’t help turning towards Li Wei, who said, “Boss, what are you looking at me for? I’m not like him, my work is art.”

Ye Qian thought about it and felt that it was too funny. He didn’t expect that Ouyang Tian Ming and Li Wei would have similar hobbies, but he reckoned that Li Wei was much more shameless about it than Ouyang Tian Ming. Everytime he finished with his business, he was always itching to show his Wolf Fang brothers his “valor”.

“A videotape, huh?” Ye Qian asked. Ye Qian thought to himself, 'if Xu Ya Ying is telling the truth, then Ouyang Tian Ming must have more such recordings.' He wasn’t interested in seeing Ouyang Tian Ming’s skills in bed, rather, he felt that if he got his hands on those tapes, they would certainly be useful to him.

“In… in my house,” Xu Ya Ying said.

“Let’s go then. Take us there,” Ye Qian said. He gave Li Wei a look that told him it was his job to manage Xu Ya Ying. Li Wei couldn’t pa.s.s up such an opportunity. He walked over to Xu Ya Ying’s side and drew her to him, smiling mischievously as he said, “I didn’t notice earlier, but you have a mole here.” As he said this his eyes were looking at the mole on her chest area.

If Li Wei were to climb on top of her she wouldn’t mind, as long as she could keep her life. Not only that, even if they took turns on her she wouldn’t mind that either. But even though Li Wei was looking perverted now, when she recalled how just a moment ago he had looked like a devil,Xu Ya Ying did not dare to move. She obediently allowed Li Wei to gather her up, then left the abandoned factory to go to her house.
