Chapter 217 We haven’t seen each other for so long, Miss Xie is very courageous
"I'm not that cool." Xie Yuqing took a sip of coffee and calmed down, "I guessed that someone would come to me, but I didn't expect that it would be you, the COO of Wanli Group...Mr. Zhong Yao?"
His expression was gloomy, but his eyebrows were indeed unhappy.
"Thanks to you, I am no longer COO, so you don't need to take the opportunity to ridicule me."
Xie Yuqing said in surprise, "Ah, you were demoted? What does that have to do with me?"
"If it weren't for..." Zhong Yao just started to speak, then he stopped and sneered, "I'm not here today just to catch up with you. Give me your things and we'll be fine."
"Which thing?" Xie Yuqing asked.
"Asking despite knowing." Zhong Yao sneered and spit out five words, "Bo, Heng, Li, Zhi, Xing."
She asked back, "Who told you that I have the Star of Bethany in my hand?"
Zhong Yao's face darkened, "Is it fun to pretend to be confused?"
"I think it's quite interesting."
Perhaps because she had been with Boss Zhong for a long time, Xie Yuqing also imitated her usual expression and interest, which was very uninteresting, "I just don't understand, since you are after the treasure, why do you want to poison me?"
"Who would poison you when they are full?" Zhong Yao frowned impatiently, "Wouldn't it be easier to kill you directly?"
"This is not England." Xie Yuqing mocked, "I still want to commit murder in public."
"You are very smart, but also very naive." Zhong Yao leaned slightly and said in a light and malicious voice, "I don't have that much patience like them. I will put my words here today. If you don't want to
Hand it over, and you may die in a car accident, jump off a building, or cut your wrists..."
He seemed to be deliberately trying to scare her, with a creepy smile on his face and his eyes filled with dense distortions.
Xie Yuqing didn't seem to hear what he said. She glanced at his black hair and suddenly thought, "Why don't you have gray hair?"
She didn't answer, making it clear that she didn't take his threat seriously.
Zhong Yao knew that talking was useless, so he stood up with a cold face, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Miss Xie is very courageous."
He paused deliberately and said meaningfully, "But that's right, at that time... you dared to push your partner to death with your own hands. Speaking of which, it seems that it was also such a winter."
His words dragged Xie Yuqing's thoughts into a dark and frightening late winter.
Her mind went blank for a moment, and she quickly lowered her head and took a sip of coffee before she woke up again.
The hands she retracted were clenched tightly under the table, and something of unknown meaning was like an ice knife, thrust straight into her heart.
Fortunately, Zhong Yao didn't seem to notice her uneasy movements, and after finishing his remarks happily, he walked out without looking back.
Xie Yuqing stared at his back.
Tall and burly.
He was obviously two people from the thief just now.
She waited here as a gamble, but it was not him who was waiting.
It happened to be him.
That thing was different from what she had guessed.
But it was strange, his words, his denial of poisoning her, and his threatening attitude.
He seemed to be so eager to get the Star of Bethhenley that he couldn't hold back and directly showed his cards to her and threatened her with death. This was not a smart move.
Just as her thoughts drifted here, her eyes suddenly froze——
A man who had just stepped out of Starbucks and was crossing the street was hit by a speeding truck.
In the blink of an eye, the person who had threatened her just now was involved in a car accident.
