Chapter 440: Angry Woman

Eventually, Tong Yan calmed down.

“Nanxing, I was under orders to invite Jing Tian. If I didn’t return in time, my people would come looking! You can’t afford the consequences!”

I shrugged. “Let them come. I’ll be waiting. However, I don’t like to stay abroad. I feel more comfortable waiting at home. If your people want to look for a fight, that’s fine. I’m always ready. As for you, you’re a human pacemaker. As long as Jing Tian’s poison is not cured, you’re not going anywhere.”

Tong Yan growled. “I want to see Tong Le.”

“Impossible. I won’t let you see him. In fact, he doesn’t even know you’re here. You want to force him to release you because you have the surname Tong? Unfortunately, you’re not going to reach him this time. I feel sad for you.” I studied her. “The reason I tied you up is that you are a good poison user. I don’t underestimate my enemies, but that doesn’t mean I can’t toy with my hostages. Therefore, if you don’t want to suffer, you better don’t play with me. You’re too good at dirty tricks, so I have to bind you up like this. I’m sorry, I have no choice.”

Tong Yan couldn’t take it anymore. “Nanxing! How shameless can you be?!”

I grabbed a piece of cloth and stuffed it into Tong Yan’s mouth. She was finally silent. I glanced at Jing Tian. Fortunately, he wasn’t woken up.

I turned back to Tong Yan. “Why were you yelling? What if you woke up Jing Tian? And you’re calling me shameless? That’s really pot calling the kettle black. If I’m shameless, I learn it from you. In terms of shamelessness, I’m still far behind you. However, being shameless does make me feel quite good. I understand why you do things this way.”

She glared at me.

I smiled at her. “You must be so jealous of me. At least I have half of the Tong family’s lineage, but you have none. However, you have the Tong surname. You must have known about me a long time ago. You would have thought about replacing me, but unfortunately, you didn’t have the chance to do so. This time, you ran into Jing Tian. You might not even really love him, but since I did, you would do anything to snatch him away from me. I’m flattered, really, but you really need to look at yourself in the mirror first.

“Do you think Jing Tian will fall for you? Such blind confidence. It must have come from Yan Yu. She thought the world was in love with her. She must have taught all of you the same thing. Everyone in the world owes you. This reminds me of Tong Lin, that was another shameless character. I still have to settle scores with him. I can’t find him, but you came knocking on my door. I guess I’ll have to settle his score with you.”

My smile gradually turned vicious. Tong Yan shivered.

I stood up with a smile. “I’m starting to research into forget-me-not. I’ll find a way to cure it. Until then, you’ll have to stay by Jing Tian’s side. However, I promise that you’d never see him. Now, don’t think that I’m keeping you around because I like you. You’re simply a better solution than feeding him free-spirited grass.”

Tong Yan let out a low growl from her throat. She glared at me.

I smiled and said gently, “Why do you hate me? This is your fault for being overconfident. Why would you drink something your enemy served you? You must have thought no one could be more shameless than you.” I stretched lazily. “Jing Tian is most likely not the first person you’ve poisoned. Karma has come knocking.. I’d suggest you stay quiet and don’t struggle unnecessarily. I’m merely trying to help make the world a better place!”
