Chapter 95 – An Eye for an Eye (以牙还牙)
Gan Jinchen was dumbfounded, suddenly realizing that his words just now were a little too harsh and quickly said, “I’m not trying to go against you…”
Gan Jinchen laughed at himself after he said that. Saying something like that at a time like this was useless, after all they stood out like gorillas. Being worked up wasn’t the only thing attracting attention, him finding Jing Yunzhao in the first place shouldn’t have happened.
“How are you going to settle this?” asked Gan Jinchen bitterly. He didn’t believe in Jing Yunzhao that much.
If she could really settle these rumors, her reputation wouldn’t be this bad, right?“Just wait for the results,” said Jing Yunzhao concisely, thus making others unable to understand her. However, when Gan Jinchen saw the light in her eyes, he somehow felt a little relieved and could only nod.
Before leaving, he wanted to say a few words to console Jing Yunzhao, but after seeing her indifference, his words crawled back into his mouth; he just couldn’t say a single word.
How could there be such a strange person in this world? Jing Yunzhao was rather friendly to Su Chu. Could it be that she dislikes him?
“So? What did that guy say?” After Gan Jinchen left, Xiao Haiqing came and placed her arm around Jing Yunzhao’s shoulders.
The color in Jing Yunzhao’s eyes dimmed. “Haiqing, I need a few people.”
Xiao Haiqing saw Jing Yunzhao’s seriousness and furrowed her brows, “Go on, I have a quite a lot of friends out there. What kind do you need?”
For Jing Yunzhao to ask her for contacts, it could only mean delinquents.Xiao Haiqing wasn’t the young miss of a wealthy family, but her background was still pretty good. However, even before her late mother’s third death anniversary, her father had remarried and relied on the new wife to bring in her family’s business. Naturally, they had no time for Xiao Haiqing. While the stepmother didn’t treat her poorly, she instead gave Haiqing money and told her to rarely come home. She picked up many friends from the streets, though they were hardly decent in the eyes of others, hence she never told Jing Yunzhao about them.
Even though Xiao Haiqing had never mentioned it, Jing Yunzhao had clearly known about it.
Not just Jing Yunzhao, most students knew that Xiao Haiqing shouldn’t be messed with, just that they didn’t dare to talk badly about her.
“It’s okay if they’re not ones you’re close with. Some random delinquents will do. Just give me their phone numbers. You don’t have to contact them yourself,” said Jing Yunzhao.
If she was going to do it, she wouldn’t leave clues that would threaten herself and those around her.
Jing Yunzhao said it quietly. Xiao Haiqing understood and nodded, “I do have a suitable person, who goes by the name Hua Zei (花贼). Greedy for money but has morals. He will do what he promises to do, pretty trustworthy. But he’s pretty unrestrained. To put it bluntly, he’s ruthless. He’ll do anything as long as you give him enough money. But if it’s a big job, he’ll definitely send someone to investigate you.”
To put it bluntly, it’s best to not make it too bloody.
Jing Yunzhao never even thought of doing something big. Since she was jailed in her past life, she understood the taste of imprisonment. She knows she doesn’t have much power herself right now. She wouldn’t do something that was too risky to herself.
She only wanted to return the favor, letting her (Qiao Hongye) have a taste of her medicine.
Qiao Hongye wanted her to lose all standing and reputation. So she’ll let Qiao Hongye have a taste of the rumors and gossips that she (Jing Yunzhao) had to deal with in her past and present life. She’ll take away what she (Qiao) treasured and cared about the most.
Jing Yunzhao responded, showing that she understood, so Xiao Haiqing left her a phone number.
That same night, Jing Yunzhao bought a phone card with an untraceable ID. After the call went through, a hoarse voice could be heard.
“Hello, Hua Zei, right? I have some work, want in on it?” Jing Yunzhao’s voice naturally carried a little metallic sound. It wasn’t too sharp. She purposely deepened her voice. She sounded young but it was hard to tell if it were male or female.
