Chapter 182

"Still, for my friend's sake, you're so kind-hearted, why don't you go do charity?" Xiao Jingrou mercilessly retorted: "Are you bandits? Forcibly seizing and plundering."

Xiao Jingrou was originally a person of very mild temperament, but at this moment she was so angry she wanted to tear Yu Siying's hateful face apart.

She couldn't bear to see someone close to her treated unfairly; she knew all too well how painful that feeling was.

Xiao Jingrou's words made the originally arrogant Yu Siying even more overbearing, pointing angrily at the contract she had thrown at Xie Mengke and saying to Xie Mengke: "Xie Mengke, don't test my patience; you'd better be sensible, quickly sign the contract—it's to your benefit, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite."

After saying that, she waited a while, seeing no sign of Xie Mengke backing down, then said: "Miss Xie, I suspect you've plagiarized our company's work; people, search her."

"Take all the works from their computers and drawings back for investigation," Yu Siying ordered.

Afterwards, the people Yu Siying brought began rummaging through Xie Mengke's studio, clearly acting like bandits.

"What are you trying to do? Are you bandits? Put everything down."

Xie Mengke didn't expect the other side to just grab things; even if her studio had to close, those drawings were treasures—if Yu Siying snatched them away, wouldn't that leave her money bag empty?

"Let you put it down? Xie Mengke, I've said it before—if you're not sensible, I won't be polite with you; I have a hundred ways to deal with you, this is just the start, and it'll get more exciting from now on—just wait and see."

"Damn it, you're going too far—if you don't want to take my studio's stuff, get lost!" Seeing her things about to be taken, Xie Mengke rushed forward to stop them.

Those people, angry, all wanted to attack Xie Mengke.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingrou felt her lungs burn with anger; she couldn't stand by and watch her old friend being bullied by anyone, so she also rushed forward.

"Mengke, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Without thinking, she rushed forward and collided with the man who was about to hit Xie Mengke; unexpectedly, seeing Xiao Jingrou rush over, the man suddenly shifted his grudge onto her and was about to slap her face.

Seeing this, Xie Mengke panicked, grabbed whatever was at hand and threw it!

A baseball bat struck the man's head; Xie Mengke acted on instinct, using force, not expecting to hit so hard that she knocked the man unconscious outright.

As the man collapsed, he happened to fall onto some shattered glass they had knocked over; the floor instantly turned a bloody red.

"It's over, it's over!"

"Mengke!"

In the studio, exclamations rang out; everyone was terrified, especially Xiao Jingrou and Xie Mengke—their minds went blank at once, and after a long while Xie Mengke finally came to her senses a little.

"Jingrou sis, sis... I think..." Xie Mengke was scared stupid; seeing the man lying motionless on the ground, covered in blood, she thought he was dead.

"Xie Mengke, you, you've killed someone." Yu Siying and the others, seeing this, rushed forward to check the man's condition.

Seeing the man still breathing, Yu Siying and the others breathed a sigh of relief; Yu Siying, seeing Xie Mengke terrified, deliberately said: "Xie Mengke, killing someone requires paying with your life—you actually dared to kill someone, you're doomed."

"I tell you, you'll definitely have to compensate until you lose all your family's wealth, and even pay for the rest of your life—if you had been sensible earlier, none of this would have happened?" Yu Siying pressed on aggressively, glaring at Xie Mengke and speaking angrily.

Afterwards, she turned her head to look at the people she had brought and asked: "Did you see that Xie Mengke intentionally injured him?"

"Yes, that woman deliberately wanted to kill A Biao; we few saw it clearly." The people Yu Siying brought said firmly.

"You... you... you... this is slander, despicable... shameless..." Xie Mengke, panicked, couldn't even utter a complete sentence; she had already prepared herself psychologically to lose everything in her studio, but she hadn't expected it to involve a life.

A person should live a lifetime with integrity; she didn't want to be implicated in a manslaughter lawsuit.

The staff of Xie Mengke's studio were also scared stupid; they hadn't expected things to develop to such an uncontrollable state.

After a while, the people on Xie Mengke's side gradually came to their senses, glaring furiously at Yu Siying: "How despicable—is this how big corporations act? Spitting blood, crying 'thief!' while you yourselves started the trouble, still trying to pour dirty water on our Sister Mengke—aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"Do you have any evidence?" Yu Siying asked: "Hmph, Xie Mengke, just wait and see—you will definitely pay the price."

While Xie Mengke and the others were dazed, Yu Siying had already called an ambulance; seeing that A Biao wasn't dead, her mood instantly recovered, and she secretly felt pleased, thinking heaven was helping her.

She had never thought of a good way to deal with this woman, never expecting the opportunity to come so easily.

Xie Mengke trembled all over from fright, lost her balance and collapsed to the ground, all color draining from her face: "What to do... what to do..."

Xie Mengke suddenly collapsed to the ground, the noise startling Xiao Jingrou back to her senses; she rushed forward to comfort her: "Mengke, it's fine—they came looking for trouble, they were the first to strike; I will never let them slander you."

"Hmph, slander? Don't spout nonsense here—did you see that my people were genuinely injured by you? You say I'm slandering; where's the evidence?"

"I tell you, I will definitely hire the best lawyers to defend my subordinates; if you want to get away, go on dreaming your spring and autumn dreams."

Yu Siying was extremely pleased: "Heh, you'd better pray my subordinate can be rescued; if so, at most I could make you lose all your family's wealth and spend the rest of your life in prison—but if he really dies, Xie Mengke, you will have to pay with your life."

"Then you're a murderer, haha!"

Yu Siying said this, arms crossed over her chest, chin raised arrogantly, posing as a victor.

Xie Mengke and the others, none dared to get near the man called A Biao, they could only wait for the ambulance, hoping the man wouldn't really die here.

Some girls were even scared to tears.

"Jingrou sis, now... it's over; if my parents found out, I'd be scared to death."

In the agonizing wait, the ambulance finally arrived, but along with it came police officers; seeing those people, Xie Mengke, who was already badly frightened, was now terrified to the point of almost losing her soul.
