Chapter 692: Unable To Threaten Him

Xing Chen flinched once more as he burst out. “What are you trying to say? You don’t have to mention Ling Yue. She made a mistake, and it’s what she deserves. You don’t have to drive a wedge between Brother Yu and me. Let me give you some advice. Stop using such foolish methods. Besides, none of you would be able to threaten Brother Yu! Do you understand?”

“Ahhh… Xing Chen. All this time, we believed that you were the most intelligent of Pei Yucheng’s people. It seems that we were wrong.”

“What do you mean?” Xing Chen asked with a frown.

“You’re right. None of us would be able to threaten Pei Yucheng’s position or status. However… what if we included Young Master Demon?”

“What… Demon?” Xing Chen’s eyes glinted coldly.

“Are you interested now? As long as you promise to work with us, we will find a way to give Ling Yue to you. From now on, we will not rest or back down. I’m not joking.”

Xing Chen remained silent for some time before he answered coldly, “Don’t make me repeat myself… I will not betray Brother Yu. Ling Yue deserves her punishment, and I’ll just obey Brother Yu. As for all of you, I don’t care whose support you have. Just don’t bother me again! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!”

After he burst out, he didn’t give the other party an opportunity to speak. He simply hung up.

He scanned his surroundings once more and then marched away stiffly.

When Xing Chen left, Lin Yan walked around the corner with both cats.

She was startled by what she had heard.

Although she had no idea who Xing Chen had been talking to, nor did she know how the other party had responded, she had managed to overhear every word that he had said.

Lin Yan could get a general idea from Xing Chen’s reply.

He had repeated that he wouldn’t betray Pei Yucheng and that Ling Yue deserved her punishment…

Lin Yan wasn’t stupid, so she could deduce what the other party wanted.

If she was right, Xing Chen had been talking with one of Pei Yucheng’s family member earlier. The other party was trying to poach and entice Xing Chen into leaving Pei Yucheng and they were using Ling Yue as a bargaining chip.

Actually, Lin Yan wasn’t aware of the relationship between Pei Yucheng and his family.

However, based on Xing Chen’s conversation today, it wasn’t as simple as she had thought.

A name had been mentioned, and Xing Chen’s expression had seemed weird when he’d heard it.

Lin Yan muttered to herself, “Demon…”

She had no idea who Demon was, but he should be related to Pei Yucheng.

Based on the current situation, Lin Yan was certain of one thing: Xing Chen hadn’t discovered her and he had vowed not to betray Pei Yucheng. If he had discovered her presence, he wouldn’t have answered the call.

However, human nature shouldn’t be put to the test so easily.

Lin Yan believed that Xing Chen had no wish to betray Pei Yucheng now.

But what if the other party persisted and they used Ling Yue?
