The Fake Rich Daughter Knows a Bit of Metaphysics and Leads Her Whole Family to Become Wealthy - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Intimidating Liu Yue

Liu Yue’s neck was constricted, and she felt a suffocating sensation. Scared, she grasped Jiang Zhixu’s wrist. “Let… let go!” “Help…”

Jiang Zhixu’s aura was subdued, and she tightened her grip. “I was planning to visit you in a couple of days, but since you’re here, it saves me the trouble.”

“Tell me, why did you steal my brother’s amulet?” Liu Yue’s actions didn’t make sense. Why would she steal Jiang Zhiyǔ’s amulet just for money?

Someone must have instructed her to do so.

“I… I don’t know…” Liu Yue squeezed out the words from her throat. Although she was terrified, she refused to speak.

She was taking a gamble, betting that Jiang Zhixu wouldn’t hurt her.

“Hmm.” Jiang Zhixu sneered. “You think you can pretend with me?”

She kicked Liu Yue’s leg and quickly covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming. “Tell me, or I’ll kick your other leg.”

“Or maybe I’ll step on your hand?” Jiang Zhixu’s soft voice was filled with threats, causing Liu Yue’s pupils to tremble.

This woman was a lunatic!

Jiang Zhixu’s eyes curved into a smile. “Ms. Liu, have you decided? Should I use my hands or feet?”

Her gaze swept over Liu Yue’s arms and legs, making her shudder.

“Jiang Zhixu, does your brother know what you’re really like?”
“He’ll definitely despise you!”

“Hahaha.” Jiang Zhixu laughed. “You’re still trying to drive a wedge between us?”

“You’re quite scheming.”
“Sorry to disappoint you, but my brother knows everything.”

Jiang Zhixu pulled out her phone, showing an ongoing call with Jiang Zhiyǔ.

Liu Yue’s face turned pale. She was talking to Jiang Zhiyǔ?
And he knew everything?

“Brother, Ms. Liu says you’re going to scold me,” Jiang Zhixu said, her voice filled with grievance.

She sounded like a spoiled child. “What did I do wrong? Why are you scolding me, brother?” “Brother, I’m scared.”

On the other end of the line, Jiang Zhiyǔ rubbed his temples, feeling a headache. “I won’t scold you, Zhizhi.” He knew this girl wouldn’t call him for no reason.

Fortunately, he knew Jiang Zhixu’s true nature.

“No matter what Zhizhi does or what she becomes, she’s still my sister, my own sister,” Jiang Zhiyǔ said.

“Brother, you’re so kind,” Jiang Zhixu said, hanging up the phone.

She looked at Liu Yue with a gaze that seemed to bore into her soul.
Then, she slapped Liu Yue’s face.

“You said you liked my brother, but behind his back, you’re betraying him. Liu Yue, your affection is so cheap.”

“Was it my brother’s status that you were after, or did you have ulterior motives from the start?” Jiang Zhixu’s voice was laced with threat.

The last word was particularly menacing, causing Liu Yue to tremble as she sat on the ground.

“What’s the point of asking if you already know?” Liu Yue said, fearing that Jiang Zhixu would kill her.

Jiang Zhixu was indeed capable of such an act.

“If you tell me the truth, I might let you go and never mention this again. I might even give you money to leave this place,” Jiang Zhixu offered.

“Liu Yue, think about it. After all, Bai Liuli is currently lying in a hospital bed. Do you know who did it?” Jiang Zhixu asked.

Liu Yue’s pupils constricted. “Was it you?”

“No,” Jiang Zhixu shook her head, her voice soft. “It was… a ghost.”

“I saw her rolling on the ground, wailing, with no one around. What else could it be but a ghost?” Jiang Zhixu said.

“Do you know what kind of people ghosts like to haunt?” Liu Yue shook her head, looking foolish.

Jiang Zhixu whispered, “Ghosts like to haunt people who have guilty consciences. They love to see people scared and weak.”

“Listen, do you hear that? It sounds like footsteps… or the clinking of chains,” Jiang Zhixu said, pointing down the dark hallway.

The stairwell lights were off, and Jiang Zhixu’s hushed tone made the atmosphere even more eerie.

Liu Yue backed away, her body trembling uncontrollably. She eventually hugged herself tightly. “There… there are no ghosts… You’re lying…”

Jiang Zhixu pulled out her phone and opened a video. It showed Bai Liuli being beaten, exactly as she had described. Bai Liuli was rolling on the ground, wailing, with no one around.

A chill ran down Liu Yue’s spine as she watched the video. Her face turned deathly pale.

It was true. There were ghosts in this world.

Liu Yue swallowed hard, looking around nervously. She saw a shadow and almost wet herself from fear.

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything,” Liu Yue said, grabbing Jiang Zhixu’s arm in desperation, thinking about Bai Liuli’s miserable state.

Jiang Zhixu smiled. “Good, tell me. I’m listening.”

“You’re a smart kid who knows when to give in,” she said, putting away her phone and turning on the lights.
The stairwell suddenly became bright.

“I… I was hired by Jiang Corporation through a formal application process, but at the same time, I was also Bai Yanwen’s mistress…” Liu Yue stammered, while Jiang Zhixu had 688 secretly record the conversation.

“A few days ago, his sister Bai Liuli suddenly came to me and asked for my help. She wanted me to get close to Jiang Zhiyǔ and steal something from him. She said someone would help me,” Liu Yue continued.

“What was it that you were supposed to steal?” Jiang Zhixu asked.

“A yellow triangular amulet,” Liu Yue replied.
“I don’t know why I had to steal it, but she said I would get one million yuan and be sent abroad if I succeeded.”

“I was blinded by the money and…” Liu Yue didn’t dare to look Jiang Zhixu in the eye, trying to minimize her presence.

“Since you had an ulterior motive from the start, why did you say you liked my brother?” Jiang Zhixu asked.

Liu Yue’s face turned red when she mentioned this. “Well… you know, we were lovers, and I went with whoever had money… Besides, Bai Yanwen… he wasn’t satisfying.”

Jiang Zhixu covered her mouth, almost bursting into laughter.
Bai Yanwen wasn’t satisfying?
Ha ha ha… This was the best news she’d heard.

“Is there anything else you’re hiding?” Jiang Zhixu asked.

Liu Yue hesitated before speaking. “Bai Liuli also told me to target you and try to ruin your relationship with Jiang Zhiyǔ.”

Jiang Zhixu gritted her teeth, her anger resurfacing. It seemed like she’d been too lenient.

“Ms. Jiang, that’s all I know. You… I’ll…”

“Leave,” Jiang Zhixu said, standing up with a cold expression. “Wait for me to take care of this, and then I’ll come find you. You’d better keep your secret.”

“If I hear any rumors…” Jiang Zhixu’s voice trailed off, implying severe consequences.

“I won’t, I absolutely won’t,” Liu Yue promised, waving her hands.

She was truly scared of Jiang Zhixu, who seemed unpredictable and capable of changing her demeanor at any moment.

“Leave,” Jiang Zhixu said.

Liu Yue quickly got up and left through the stairwell, not daring to linger.

Jiang Zhixu’s smile disappeared again as she looked thoughtful.

Considering all the information, Bai Yanwen couldn’t have come up with this plan on his own. So, who was helping him, and why were they involving Bai Liuli?

The answers to all these questions lay with Bai Yanwen.

Jiang Zhixu looked at the hospital room and stuck an invisibility talisman on herself…
