Chapter 190: Don’t Test My Patience.
Chapter 190
She opened her mouth wanting to explain, but was interrupted by Rong Dai before she could finish speaking.
"Put it on speakerphone. I'll talk to her directly."
Rong Dai said lightly.
She looked straight into Zhu Li's eyes, her gaze majestic yet piercing.
Although her tone was very calm, it carried an inexplicable sense of pressure.
Zhu Li swallowed hard. Listening to the vicious curses still coming from the phone's speaker, she could only silently utter three words in her heart: I'm sorry.
Then she turned on the speakerphone, and Yang Wanwan's vicious curses instantly filled the entire dressing room.
Huo Shaojie and Lu Ye had just walked to the door when they heard the vicious curses, and the two were so startled they thought someone was fighting with Rong Dai. They hurriedly rushed in.
Only to see Rong Dai looking so majestic, cold and piercing.
She looked so much like Huo Shaoting in this state!
Their hearts involuntarily shuddered with fear!
Their gazes then shifted to Zhu Li's ghastly pale, guilty face.
Rong Dai had her arms crossed, looking coldly down at the phone screen, answering in an icy tone: "Miss Yang, if cursing me makes you so happy over the phone, why don't I go see you in person? Please curse me to my face, wouldn't that be more exciting?"
Her words cut clearly into Yang Wanwan's ears.
Yang Wanwan had been cursing with delight, locked in the shabby rental apartment. When she suddenly heard Rong Dai's voice, she froze for a few seconds.
"Zhu Li, you bitch! How dare you sell me out! You will not have a good end!"
After cursing, she hurriedly hung up the phone!
"Damn it, damn it, damn it... This won't do, she will definitely come to settle scores with me! I have to get out of here! I have to leave this place!"
Having hung up the phone, Yang Wanwan was extremely panicked, and within just a few seconds, bean-sized beads of sweat had broken out on her forehead due to extreme fear.
Snap!
She broke the old flip phone she had secretly stashed, and looking at the phone snapped in half, she was still uneasy. She grabbed the rickety stool and smashed it down forcefully!
Only after smashing the phone to smithereens did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Open the door! Let me out! I want to see Yang Yue!"
After smashing the phone, Yang Wanwan was still afraid and panicked. She had exposed her location, and if Huo Shaoting found out...
She would definitely be caught and brought back!
She didn't want to end up in jail like Wen Shi Lan!
She still wanted to be a star!
Hearing Yang Wanwan banging on the door, none of the tenants living there were willing to pay any attention to her, some even yelled at her to shut up!
And the two bodyguards stationed outside the rental apartment, seeing that Yang Wanwan could not get out, simply continued playing games on their phones.
While Yang Wanwan was panicking with fear, Zhu Li was no less so.
"Mrs. Huo, please let me explain..."
Not only was Zhu Li's face ghastly pale, she was on the verge of tears.
She was very clear that she had offended someone she could not afford to offend.
Not only Rong Dai, even Huo Shaojie's and Lu Ye's faces were very cold.
Who could have imagined that the seemingly ordinary Wang Xin turned out to be the once illustrious star Yang Wanwan?
Rong Dai took out her phone, pulled over a chair to sit down, and also motioned for Huo Shaojie and Lu Ye to sit.
She looked straight at Zhu Li and said, "I know you didn't intend me harm, but I'm no bodhisattva either. You saw how dangerous things were for me tonight."
"As for what relationship you have with Miss Yang, what favor she has over you, what made you want to make a move against me..."
"You haven't actually done anything yet, so I can let it slide and won't hold you accountable."
"Really... really?"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Zhu Li looked at Rong Dai in shock and slight disbelief.
Rong Dai nodded, leaning back in her chair. Her eyes were very beautiful, but authoritative, putting psychological pressure on people.
Especially with her unsmiling, aloof and stern demeanor.
"Of course, this is conditional on you telling me everything you know. If necessary, you'll have to testify."
Rong Dai added.
There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Everyone has to pay the price for their actions.
Zhu Li had approached her with ulterior motives from the start. She was just very smart and didn't make a move too quickly.
It was also because of the last shred of conscience she had left that ended up saving herself. Otherwise, things would not have been so simple today.
So the only one who could redeem herself was Zhu Li herself.
Zhu Li's face was ghastly pale. She stared blankly at Rong Dai for a few seconds.
If she did that, wouldn't it be equivalent to selling Xiaowen out?
Xiaowen had helped her before...
But if she didn't speak, they already knew the truth about what happened tonight.
With the Huo clan's power and influence, they would definitely be able to investigate and find out.
Zhu Li was caught in a dilemma.
"Zhu Li, you need to be clear that you're harboring a criminal now. If it's confirmed that Wang Xin is Yang Wanwan, then attempted murder charges can be filed against her.
"By shielding her, you can be charged as an accessory. You'd better weigh things carefully in your heart."
Lu Ye said in a deep voice.
None of them had expected that a Yang Wanwan could cause such a big storm, and had almost succeeded in killing Rong Dai.
Fortunately Rong Dai had narrowly escaped death.
Otherwise, not only would the movie project be ruined, everyone from the Huo, Lu and Huo families would become enemies.
That was unthinkable to them.
They could clearly see how much Huo Shaoting treasured this sister-in-law.
Huo Shaojie and Lu Ye exchanged glances, realizing they were completely superfluous here. Rong Dai could handle this alone.
The two were also extremely desperate in their hearts.
Just one Huo Shaoting had already given them massive headaches.
And now Huo Shaoting had married a wife who they initially thought was a good girl.
But now at first sight, her true nature was exposed.
She was clearly a chip off the old block of Huo Shaoting!
Look at the way she handled things, completely identical to Huo Shaoting!
Not making a move was one thing, but once she did, it rendered people powerless to resist.
"I... I'm telling you, as long as Mrs. Huo promises to spare me, I'll say everything I know. I have two children to raise, I... I really don't want to go to jail."
Zhu Li was extremely desperate.
But unlike Yang Wanwan, she didn't hate Rong Dai. She knew clearly that this was not Rong Dai's fault.
The fact that Rong Dai was still willing to give her a chance to come clean, was already showing great leniency.
Otherwise, Rong Dai could have simply called the police just now to come and process things, and Zhu Li would have been unable to escape the accessory charges no matter what.
