Chapter 619: Wrong Idea (1)_1
Shan Xue’s eyes were glaring at Situ Xin, as if she wanted to stare holes through him.
As soon as Situ Xin had just seated herself on the only stool in the entire room, Shan Xue, lacking Situ Xin’s forbearance, couldn’t help but open her mouth and roar at Situ Xin, "Situ Xin, it was you who had people kidnap me, wasn’t it?" Despite phrasing it like a question, Shan Xue’s tone was certain. "Let me tell you, Situ Xin, you better release me right now, or else you’ll regret it."
During Shan Xue’s outburst, Situ Xin had been watching her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile until Shan Xue felt a chill go down her spine. Then, Situ Xin leisurely responded, "It was me who had you captured. I am quite curious to see just how you plan to make me regret it."
Seeing that her words had no effect on Situ Xin, Shan Xue’s brain clicked, and her expression took a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn, showing a pleading look: "Situ Xin, I know I was wrong, I won’t dare do it again, please just let me go."
Situ Xin watched coldly as Shan Xue put on her performance. She smirked and asked, "Know what you did wrong?"
"Yes, I know I was wrong, I won’t dare again. Just let me go, and I’ll definitely leave Capital City and never show up in front of you again. I won’t tell anyone about your connections with The Underworld."
Situ Xin understood the meaning behind Shan Xue’s words—all too clear. The first part was an act of submission, while the second part was a threat. Shan Xue tried to pressure her into letting her go with a combination of carrot and stick tactics, but clearly, Shan Xue had miscalculated.
"Shan Xue, when you deliberately leaked the news about us sending Qin Jiamao to the disciplinary commission to Qin Jialiang, did you not consider that you shouldn’t have done such a thing? Now, after all is done, you think a simple apology will suffice? Tell me, do you think the world works like that?" Situ Xin lifted her gaze, staring coldly at Shan Xue.
Shan Xue shivered uncontrollably, truly regretting the impulsive action she had taken in a moment of indignation.
"What do you want me to do? Just say it, and I’ll do it," Shan Xue thought only of leaving, willing to do anything to get out. These days she had spent in the basement had nearly driven her insane.
"Anything, huh?" Situ Xin, hearing Shan Xue’s promise, showed a malicious grin. Situ Xin stood up, walked over to Shan Xue crouching in the corner, squatted down in front of her, and whispered a location into her ear.
