Chapter 1738: If All Else Fails, We Go Down Together

When Xie Wanyi said this, he was completely standing on the side of the Li Family.

And his unhesitating choice made Li Xingyan feel... very subtle.

Li Xingyan sensitively sensed that he had a tendency to soften his heart.

This won't do!

In this family, he was the only one who hadn't been bought off.

He must hold his ground!

Li Xingyan silently admonished himself.

Then he turned his head and said in a cold voice, "It's getting late, let's go back."

"Mm, I'll go tell Tiantian."

Li Xingyan's hot-and-cold attitude did not affect Xie Wanyi.

He said this indifferently and went to find Jiang Motian.

It's just that...

What was supposed to be a quick word before leaving turned into a long, clingy session before he finally left the Li Family.

And the way those two stuck together like conjoined twins made Li Xingyan very unable to understand.

Really, why do humans have to fall in love?

It's so troublesome!

Inside a teahouse, a girl with fiery red hair sat by the window.

The girl was bright and moving.

Every gesture of hers was full of charm.

Only, in the depths of the girl's eyes, there was a sense of restlessness.

Her brows were also tightly furrowed.

Xu Nianxin picked up her teacup and took a sip.

The slightly bitter tea did not lower the restlessness in her heart.

She put the teacup down forcefully, turned her head, and questioned the West Hall Master: "Why did you take the initiative to invite Xie Wanyi?"

The two of them had come here today specifically to meet with Xie Wanyi.

As the one who issued the invitation, the West Hall Master's original intention was not to meet with Xie Wanyi.

But he had to see him.

Because the West Hall Master could no longer wait!

The West Hall Master took a deep breath, then said with a sullen face, "No matter what, this matter needs a conclusion."

"But why did you have to make me come? Xie Wanyi already wanted to settle scores with me!"

"Settle scores? Hmph, after today, let's see what standing he has left to settle scores with you!"

Xu Nianxin caught on to something and hurriedly asked, "Father, why do you say that? Could it be... you've grasped Xie Wanyi's fatal weakness?"

"That's right! Today, I am here to have a showdown with Xie Wanyi!"

A showdown...

Xu Nianxin's eyes darted, and she began to get excited.

However, when she saw Xie Wanyi...

Her excitement vanished completely.

She hurriedly lowered her eyes, wanting to minimize her presence.

Xie Wanyi glanced at her indifferently and sat down opposite the West Hall Master.

The West Hall Master immediately put on airs, gave a light huff, and then said with a fake smile, "You have been very full of yourself lately."

"Not everything goes my way, otherwise, I would have already driven you back to Wuyou Hall."

Xie Wanyi gave the West Hall Master a warning without changing his expression.

This made the West Hall Master's smile freeze on his face.

The next instant, he said in a somewhat exasperated manner, "Do you really think that just because you've started a legitimate business, you're a decent person?! Remember what kind of trash you are!"

Facing the West Hall Master's rudeness, Xie Wanyi was not annoyed.

He tapped his fingers on the tabletop and then smiled: "In front of the West Hall Master, I wouldn't dare call myself a decent person."

Xie Wanyi mocked him without leaving a trace.

It made the West Hall Master so angry he wanted to flip the table!

But he held back, and with a sullen face, he steered the topic to the main point: "Xie Wanyi, don't be arrogant. Once your dark history is exposed, you won't be able to stand your ground here!"

"Want to dig up my past? But when I left, I deleted all my past information clean. How do you plan to expose it?"

"Heh, as long as I want to, there is always a way!"

The West Hall Master arrogantly threw a folder of documents in front of Xie Wanyi.

Xie Wanyi knew what was inside without looking.

But to play along with the West Hall Master, he still picked up the documents and flipped through them briefly.

After Xie Wanyi finished flipping through them, the West Hall Master lifted his chin, looking as if he were bestowing a favor: "I don't want to drive you to a dead end either. As long as you do things for me, I will keep your secrets."

Upon hearing this, Xie Wanyi realized and said, "Wuyou Hall really is finished."

These words of his truly struck a nerve!

The West Hall Master's face turned white with anger!

The next second, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "What nonsense are you spouting? Wuyou Hall is doing just fine!"

"Since that's the case, why make me, a former member, go back and risk my life for you?"

"That's only because some clients are blind and only recognize your reputation!"

Speaking of this matter, the West Hall Master found it hard not to be angry.

He had painstakingly managed Wuyou Hall.

Yet, many old clients specifically requested Youming to carry out their missions.

As soon as the West Hall Master revealed that Youming had washed his hands of the business, the other party immediately canceled the cooperation!

It really is...

Blind!

However, in Xie Wanyi's view, this matter had a different meaning.

He said, "At the end of the day, it's still your poor management."

This time, the West Hall Master could not hold back.

His hand, like a palm-leaf fan, slammed heavily onto the table!

Then he roared, "My poor management? Do you know how much effort I have spent for the Organization!"

"The more effort you spend, the more it shows your incompetence and that you are unfit for the responsibility."

Un-, unfit for the responsibility!?

The West Hall Master was so angry that his head felt dizzy.

The muscles on his face were trembling.

He even wanted to call people in to give this bastard a sound beating!

However...

When the West Hall Master caught a glimpse of Xie Wanyi rubbing the back of his hand, the West Hall Master instantly sobered up.

This brat... is deliberately trying to provoke people!

Discovering this, the West Hall Master quickly adjusted his emotions.

Then, with a cold expression, he said, "Stop talking nonsense, are you going to help or not!?"

Seeing that the West Hall Master had not lost control, Xie Wanyi was slightly disappointed.

He leaned back against the chair and said concisely, "Not helping."

"Not helping? Do you believe I can ruin your reputation!?"

"I believe it, but..."

The corners of Xie Wanyi's mouth curled up slightly.

Then he said eerily, "I also know quite a few secrets of Wuyou Hall; at worst, we'll go down together!"

"Heh, you think you can shake the entire Wuyou Hall all by yourself!? What a big mouth!"

"You don't believe me? Then you are welcome to try. Honestly, I am also quite curious about the outcome."

Xie Wanyi smiled with his lips curled, his demeanor relaxed.

But the West Hall Master opposite him had a grave expression.

The West Hall Master suddenly had a feeling of... being unable to get off the tiger he was riding.

But the development of things should not have been like this!

The West Hall Master had gone to great lengths to preserve those materials.

Every single one of them could ruin Xie Wanyi's reputation!

He did not believe that Xie Wanyi could truly remain indifferent!!

The West Hall Master ground his teeth.

Then he questioned, "You have worked so hard to have everything you have now; I don't believe you have the courage to give it all up!"

"I indeed cannot bear to give it up, but I would rather not be coerced by others. If you want me to follow your orders? Then I would rather have nothing at all!"

When Xie Wanyi said this, he also looked the West Hall Master up and down.

The sense of disdain was very obvious.

This made the West Hall Master clench his fists in anger.

Ignoring his murderous gaze, Xie Wanyi said again, "If this is the West Hall Master's trump card, then there is no need for us to talk."

After saying this, Xie Wanyi looked at Xu Nianxin.
