CHAPTER 122: CHAPTER 122: A GENTLEMAN’S REVENGE IS NOT TOO LATE EVEN AFTER TEN YEARS

"Jian Xi, with no bodyguards this time, let’s see how you’ll escape this."

"Is that so?" Jian Xi smiled, clapping her hands as another group of burly men in black stepped forward.

But there were only two of them.

Si Junyan sneered, "You think just two people can deal with the six of us? You’re far too naive."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Xi’s bodyguards swiftly took down the bodyguard closest to Si Junyan, then nodded slightly at Jian Xi. "Miss, I apologize for being a bit late."

Jian Xi waved her hand. "No problem. Just take care of them."

These were confidants her fifth brother had been cultivating. They had been protecting her in secret ever since she was bullied; otherwise, Jian Xi wouldn’t have dared to provoke Si Junyan so brazenly.

Si Junyan had never seen such formidable bodyguards; for a moment, he was completely stunned.

This group’s skills were unlike those of ordinary bodyguards. Their moves were lethal, each strike carrying the ruthless ferocity of a life-or-death struggle. His men were no match for them and were all knocked to the ground within moments.

The bodyguards began to beg for mercy. "Second Young Master Si, save us! These people are from the Dragon Squad’s ace unit!"

The moment the fight began, the more discerning among Si Junyan’s bodyguards immediately recognized their opponents’ affiliation. A sense of profound despair washed over them. Who in their right mind would take on this job if they knew they’d be up against ace bodyguards from the Dragon Squad?!

It was already despicable enough to target two women. Now, being pinned to the ground and thoroughly thrashed like this was utterly humiliating.

Si Junyan couldn’t help but swallow nervously.

Like a queen, Jian Xi walked step by step towards him. "Si Junyan, I’ve given you enough chances, yet you repeatedly mistake my leniency for weakness, thinking I’m easy to bully, don’t you?"

"Jian Xi, if you dare lay a single finger on me—"

"AAAH—it hurts! Let me go!"

Before Si Junyan could finish his empty threat, Jian Xi’s men pinned him to the ground. Jian Xi stepped on his fingers. "What can you do to me?"

"Let go! Let me go!" As the dignified Second Young Master of the Si Family, he had never been treated this way.

His pride and reputation were in tatters. How could he face anyone after this?

"Jian Xi! Doing this means you’re making an enemy of the entire Si Family!" Even now, Si Junyan was still resorting to threats.

Jian Xi delivered several harsh slaps across his face.

She shook her arm, which was numb from the force. This despicable man’s cheek was really thick!

Pinned to the ground, Si Junyan seethed with rage, his eyes bloodshot. He struggled fiercely, roaring, "Jian Xi, just you wait! As long as I’m alive, I’ll make sure you die!"

If the bodyguards weren’t restraining him, he would have lunged at Jian Xi and torn her apart.

Facing his threat, Jian Xi gave a cold laugh.

"You say that as if, were I to show you mercy, you would spare me in turn."

The two had long been like fire and water. Why should she still indulge him?

Jian Xi pressed her heel onto Si Junyan’s head. "I won’t kill you today, but I promise, you’ll end up looking worse than dead."

Nearby, Wan Yu was frantically snapping pictures.

With his head pressed to the ground, Si Junyan’s muffled roar came out, "Stop taking pictures!"

"I’m not just taking photos; I’m recording video too! If anything happens to Xixi or me, I guarantee these videos and photos will be sent to every media outlet and online news source worldwide. You’ll become an international sensation in an instant, Si Junyan. So, think very carefully with that brain of yours next time you consider messing with us!"

Wan Yu, never one to miss an opportunity to stir up trouble, even had the bodyguards strip Si Junyan.

"HAHAHA! Yes, just like that! Take a few more! Who would’ve thought this bootlicker was surprisingly well-built?"

Si Junyan’s initial fury gave way to utter dejection; he wished the earth would swallow him whole. A cold, hateful light glinted in his eyes, yet it was tinged with deep apprehension.

Jian Xi had to admire Wan Yu. These despicable tactics were incredibly effective, perfectly suited for threatening trash like Si Junyan.

"Get lost!"

Once Wan Yu had her fill of pictures, Jian Xi ordered Si Junyan thrown out. Then, she departed with her entourage, their vehicles roaring past him.

"Jian Xi! Wan Yu! I’m not done with you!" Si Junyan’s face was flushed, his neck veins bulging with anger.

His bodyguards scrambled up from the ground. "Second Young Master, please put your clothes back on! It’s cold, and there are people around..."

"Get lost!" He had lost all face.

He scrambled into his car and fled as if escaping for his life.

「」

Jiang Qimeng had assumed everything would go smoothly, but a call from her friend Xiang Yao made her heart sink.

"Sister Meng, it seems something’s happened. Second Young Master Si went straight home. I heard he looked completely dejected, as if something bad occurred."

"He was very unhappy?" Jiang Qimeng was taken aback.

With his temperament, ensuring Jian Xi had a miscarriage should have been a piece of cake, shouldn’t it? How could there have been an unexpected problem! Her head was about to explode!

"Yes! Very unhappy, and looking utterly miserable!"

It must have failed. Otherwise, he would have called me by now to share the good news.

"Forget it. I’ll deal with it when I get back."

Just then, someone called out to her.

After hanging up, Jiang Qimeng discovered that Si Yuhuan had taken a private jet straight to Sernosen’s location—and had forgotten to bring her!

He actually forgot me!

Jiang Qimeng was furious.

She had gone through so much painstaking effort to find Sernosen’s contact information, and now she wouldn’t even get a chance to make an impression!

"Jian Xi! You must die!"

Jiang Qimeng blamed Jian Xi for all of this.

「」

Si Yuhuan, his expression cold and stern, burst directly into Sernosen’s villa.

The Filipino maid couldn’t stop him. The moment Si Yuhuan burst in, he glimpsed a vaguely familiar figure slipping out the back door. Before he could give it much thought, a man in a formal riding suit, leaning on a cane, blocked his path. The man’s piercing blue eyes fixed on him, his expression stern. "You are being extremely discourteous."

"My apologies. I’m looking for you regarding a matter of utmost importance."

"I can’t help you." Sernosen refused without even hearing him out.

「」

At this moment, Jian Xi returned home. Just as she took out her phone, she received a call from her fourth brother.

"I’ve met him. He’s not easy to deal with."

Jian Xi raised an eyebrow. "So, did Jiang Qimeng manage to strike a deal?"

"No, not her either."

Now it was Jian Xi’s turn to be troubled.

If even Fourth Brother couldn’t manage it... "Alright, I understand."

"However, from what I know, besides his fondness for having people test drugs, he has another peculiar hobby."

"What is it?"

Her fourth brother spoke slowly, "Boxing."

PFFT?

He’s quite old, almost fifty!

"Not Sernosen himself, his illegitimate son."

Jian Xi was rendered speechless.

"I’ll call Fifth Brother."

As it turned out, contacting Fifth Brother was purely a matter of luck.

After leaving a message, she prepared for the battle tomorrow.

「」

Jian Xi, in her capacity as acting chairperson of the board, convened a board meeting for Haohan Group.

When Si Junyan heard the news, he nearly died laughing.

"That damn woman! Does she really think she’s someone important? Does she think Haohan Group is something she can just meddle with?"

I really don’t know where she gets her overconfidence from. I’ll make her pay tomorrow!

Si Junyan’s eyes burned with hatred, as if he could shoot flames.

The other board members were also displeased upon receiving the news.

A mere woman, trying to dictate the direction of Haohan Group? What a joke!
