Chapter 423: Turning the Knife on Oneself

Wen Qing received a call from Du Qian and thought he had some new dirt to use against Lin Zhiyi again.

But as soon as the call connected, it was his wailing cries for help.

"Du Qian, we agreed—you get the job done, I'll give you what you want. But now you've achieved nothing and got played by Lin Zhiyi. I can't help you."

"You! You're trying to burn the bridge after crossing it!" Du Qian's breathing turned heavy with anger.

Wen Qing moved his phone farther away, sneering with disgust: "Burn the bridge? What evidence do you have proving I told you to deal with Lin Zhiyi? Clearly, you're full of malicious schemes, trying to control Lin Zhiyi and her mother. Or do you want the police to investigate you?"

It was only then that Du Qian realized he had been played by Wen Qing.

Grinding his teeth, he said, "President Wen, this won't end here."

Wen Qing sneered dismissively, "With you?"

Not allowing Du Qian the chance to respond further, Wen Qing hung up the phone outright.
