Shen Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then, in front of everyone, she deftly and ruthlessly grabbed Jiang Xue’s throat. Her tone was intensely cold as she said, “1 didn’t let you leave. Why did you insist on opposing me?”

Jiang Xue felt her neck being clenched tighter and tighter by Shen Xi, her breath going from initially unsteady to nearly suffocating.

Fang Jiao, standing beside them, was paralyzed with fear and dared not utter another sound.

It was not until Lu Fei returned with the surveillance footage that Shen Xi released her grip on Jiang Xue. Jiang Xue took a few steps back, her face filled with fear as she looked at Shen Xi.

Four years had passed, and Shen Xi had become even more ruthless.

Jiang Xue had clashed with Shen Xi in the past, but back then, Shen Xi did not have the same aura of menace as she did now. The chilling atmosphere that emanated from her body made Jiang Xue feel as if Shen Xi might truly end her

Shen Xi gazed at the surveillance footage retrieved by Lu Fei; her chilling eyes grew even colder.

After watching it, Shen Xi turned her gaze to Gu Ning with an intriguing smile, and coldly asked, “Do you have anything else to say?”

Jiang Xue took a couple of steps back and then spoke, “She insulted me. That’s why I acted this way. Besides, your friend wasn’t hurt at all! As for Guan Bo, that’s between me and him.”

Knowing that Shen Xi and Guan Bo did not get along, Jiang Xue did not think Shen Xi would help Guan Bo seek justice.

“If it weren’t for Guan Bo taking a beating on behalf of my friend today, the one lying on the ground right now would be my friend. I’m a fair person. Since Guan Bo has been treated this way, you should receive the same treatment,” Shen Xi stated firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Jiang Xue grew anxious as she looked at Guan Bo, who was bruised and swollen from the beating. She relied on her looks for a living, and if she ended up looking like this, how could she face anyone?

Moreover, the plastic surgery left no corner of her face untouched. If something got damaged, her face would be ruined.

Jiang Xue spat out with fury, “Aren’t you going too far? After all, I am from the Gu family. Have you thought about the consequences of treating me this way?”

“The Gu family? Even if Gu Chen himself stood here today, I won’t show any mercy!” Shen Xi’s confidence was unwavering, devoid of fear.

Shen Xi’s subtly raised her eyes and looked at the security personnel nearby. With a wicked smile, she said, “Gu Ning, you brought these security guards here. You give them orders. If you let them attack my friends, then they should subject you and your friends to the same treatment. And of course, if your friend protects you just like Guan Bo did for my friend, then fate is being kind to you.”

“Are you crazy? How could I possibly let them attack me?” Jiang Xue felt her composure slipping and roared in anger.

“Is that so? Well, then it seems I’ll have to do it myself. Gu Ning, if I get involved, I won’t hold back. Consider yourself lucky if you can still breathe. Every breath that remains in you will be a gift,” Shen Xi’s lips parted slightly, her words dripping with intensity.

Jiang Xue was overcome with rage, and she looked at Fang Jiao beside her. Then, she moved forward with a threatening air, grabbing Fang Jiao’s neck and whispering, “Today, if you shield my face and body, I’ll secure the resources you wanted. You wanted to meet my brother, didn’t you? I’ll arrange it. How about that?”

A greedy glint flashed in Fang Jiao’s eyes. Becoming a part of the Gu family had been her steadfast ambition.

Even Gu Ning from the second branch of the Gu family was someone she had tried to please, all in the hopes of getting closer to Gu Chen.

After groveling at the feet of others for so long, she also yearned to rise like a phoenix.

Fang Jiao chuckled self-deprecatingly and agreed, “Deal.”

Jiang Xue turned to the security guards and ordered, “Do to us what you did to them just now.”

The security guards exchanged uncertain glances, stealing looks at the managers who had arrived earlier but were staying in the distance.

The managers quickly nodded at the guards. One was a young miss from the Gu family, and the other was someone even Miss Gu dared not provoke. All they could do was cordon off the scene to prevent others from entering. The guards stood in place, hesitant and immobilized.

Shen Xi crossed her arms, her cold gaze fixed on the opposing group.

Zhao Yuan held onto Guan Bo; her face filled with resentment as she looked at the opposite side..
