After I hung up Leon Hua’s phone, Jiannan’ s called me as well. I didn’t want to answer it, for I just wanted to be alone.
When I drove back home, I felt tired, so I lay down on the bed to sleep for a while and then got up and turned on the computer, plugging the USB disk in.
Anyway, I already knew everything I wanted to know, so I could also upload this video to the Internet to disgrace Ruoxin Chen’s.
Just as I was about to do it, I changed my mind again.
Although it would be a disgrace to Ruoxin if this video was circulated, it’s not illegal to have s*x with a man. It would actually cause little affect to her. With her background, as soon as the video was released, someone would definitely quickly delete it, which would remain on the Internet for a very short time.
But I was afraid the other person in this video was going to be over and that’s Jiannan. When the scandal came out, I was afraid it would infuriate Mayor Chen and at that time, Jiannan would become the main target. Then he would be in trouble.
Jiannan tried to help me this time and I couldn’t trap him because of my personal anger. Besides, if I kept this video, I might utilize it again later. Why in such a hurry to upload?
Once I figured it out, I uploaded the video to a cloud storage space and deleted it from the USB disk.
Then I went back to bed to read. After a while, I felt a little tired, so I slept.
When I woke up again, it was almost dark outside. It’s been a long time since I’ve been this drowsy, feeling uncomfortable. I shouldn’t take a long-time nap, otherwise, the more I slept, the more drowsy I would be.
After a shower, I felt a little more relaxed. But I was a little hungry.
Then Jiannan’ s call came in again. I remembered that I promised to treat him for dinner tonight. Since I had promised, I then should do it. Someone like Jiannan could be helpful anytime in the future.
I asked him what style of food he wanted. “Western or Chinese food? If Chinese food, what style did you eat?”
He said both were okay. I said, “if both are OK, then I don’t know what to do. You’d better give a precise answer, so it’s easier for me to pick up a restaurant.”
“What restaurant do you usually choose with Leon?” Jiannan asked a strange question, then before I could answer it, he continued, “I eat the same as you two.”
I said, “We basically just eat instant noodles. Do you want this? Are you insane?”
“Forget it. how about choosing one that you like? As long as with you, I’ll be happy.”
I didn’t want to talk about this with him anymore, so I chose a Sichuan restaurant that I liked. I liked the braised tofu there. After all, I was a total tofu fanatic.
When I ordered the food, I ordered a steamed fish, which was Leon’s favorite dish. I almost forgot that this time I was not going to eat with him. I was with another man.
Jiannan tied his hair up and wore a suit and a watch that was so expensive that was equal to a car. It made him not look like a total bad guy but more gentle.
“Are you looking at me? Do I look pretty?” Jiannan looked excited.
“To be honest, you look good. You are definitely a dream lover of those young girls.”
“Young girls? You mean those innocent and naive girls? You, a mature woman, has no interest in me, right?” He kept this topic, for he was a little unpleasant of me saying so.
“Not exactly. But it’s true that I’m not interested in you.” I said with a smile.
“Why? Because I’m not as handsome as Leon, or I’m not as rich as him? But his dad gave him all the money, so why?”
I said to him seriously, “I don’t like you always compare yourself to him. Everyone has his own fate, so there’s no need to compare.”
“Alright, let’s not talk about Leon. Have you looked for Ruoxin? What’s her reaction?”
“I did. She admitted that she planned my kidnapping, but she thought I had no evidence, so I couldn’t do anything to her.”
“So, you really can’t do anything about her? Do you want me to do something for you?”
“No, I hope that I can do it myself. You’ve already helped me a lot. Thank you.”
“So, you’re just going to let her go?” Jiannan looked unconvinced.
“What else can I do? She’s the mayor’s daughter. I can do nothing.”
“But if you upload the s*x video of her and I on the Internet, then her fame, as well as her dad’s will immediately disappear. You could do this and it would be a revenge on her?”
“I’ve thought about that, but then I gave it up. It’s boring.”
“If you do this, then I have to be careful. After all, I’m the one in the video. Though I banged someone, she was one of the rich and powerful people. How can I afford to take a hit from them?”
Jiannan wasn’t stupid, for he had thought of this.
“Then you still dare to give me that video. Aren’t you afraid of looking for some trouble?”
He moved the hair in front of his eye, “I can do whatever I want and I never care the consequences. I know better than you what I’ll face if you upload it on the internet, but I’m not afraid. There’s nothing in this world that scares me.”
“I don’t believe.”
“Don’t believe what?”
“As long as you’re a human being, there is definitely something that you’re afraid of, because human nature has weaknesses. If there are weaknesses, there will be things to be afraid of.”
Jiannan tilted his head and thought for a while, “Maybe I haven’t found it yet. If I find it, I’ll let you know.”
“You don’t have to tell me. If one day you find something that you’re afraid of, then you’re a real person.” I smiled.
“So, what you’re saying is that I’m not a real person right now?”
As this time, the dishes were served and I told him to eat. Then I opened the wine, pouring it for him and began to cheer, “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”
“You are good. What I’ve done for you is because I like you and that’s why I’m willing to do. You don’t have to be grateful, for it’s my will.”
“Even if you’re willing to do all this, then I should say ‘thank you’.”
He drank all the wine in his glass and asked me a question solemnly, “Are you afraid of me?”
That’s an interesting question. I actually used to be a bit afraid of him, as he has a really bad reputation and I had seen his ruthlessness with my own eyes. I was still a little afraid of him now, but not as much as before.
“Well, not too much.”
“Then you’re still a bit afraid of me. Why? Is it because they all regard me as a demon?”
“There’s a reason for that. I’m not sure.”
“You don’t have to be afraid of me from now on. I won’t hurt you. I swear I’d rather let myself die for you. Because you’re the one I like.”
He’s about to hit on me again, so I quickly change the topic and started to talk about the taste of food.
