Sheng Youxia's meaning couldn't have been clearer.
She never intended to let Liang Songlian off the hook from the very start.
Why should she forgive a criminal?
"You never actually considered making a third request." Fu Shilv had been so cooperative the first two times, it never occurred to him that she would really play him.
Sheng Youxia's lips curled into a smile, but her eyes were cold as ice.
"Mr. Fu, I guess you've never dealt with Liang Songlian, have you? I've met him. He's ruthless and violent."
For a bit of money, he'd do anything.
"Release him, and he'd surely come after me, might even pose a threat to my personal safety."
No man likes being toyed with, least of all Fu Shilv.
His expression was as cold as a pool at the base of a cliff.
"Then wait, let me think it over."
"How long will you need?"
That's a tough one to answer, Sheng Youxia tried to be as vague as possible, "Maybe I'll have an answer by next month."
