Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn

Chapter 252: 252 Are you not afraid that we’ll take you down? Chapter 252: 252 Are you not afraid that we’ll take you down? “A dying man, a petty person coming into power, even if you can swagger now, can you really fly out of Tianwang Entertainment’s palm?” Qu Chong nearly broke the Buddha Bead Chain in his hand, “And can Shuangshi protect you till death?”

“Like I said, I’m the one who’s barefoot.”

Qu Chong, unable to contain his anger, glanced at Qu Mobai and said, “You keep an eye on things here. When this woman borrowed money, she was wagging her tail and begging pitifully, and now, when she’s paying it back, she’s acting like an ungrateful lord. The sting of a wasp, the most venomous heart of a woman.”

After speaking, Qu Chong went into the lounge.

Qu Mobai, though not as talkative, couldn’t help but take a new look at the young woman who had just turned twenty-two.

And as the procedures were coming to an end, he leaned over and asked Shi Lan, “Why choose hell when heaven has a path, and you come to knock on a doorless hell?”

Shi Lan was not the least bit intimidated by the threat and lifted her head, almost with a smile at the corners of her mouth, “Because going to hell is how I can drag you down.”

Qu Mobai gave Shi Lan a meaningful look and revealed a hint of a smile, “Interesting, you should know your contract has many years left, and to redeem yourself, you’ll need to pay a sky-high penalty fee. Otherwise, you’ll have to follow our brothers’ arrangements. Aren’t you afraid we’ll crush you?”

“Then I can only look forward to experiencing your methods,” Shi Lan replied without fear.

Tang Ze and Sun Ling felt like their hearts were about to leap out of their chests, such a thrilling scene that you only see in movies was unfolding right before them.

So, the process of debt settlement wasn’t as brutal and bloody as Tang Ze had imagined. To see those brothers lose face was something Tang Ze had never witnessed before.

It was also his first time seeing the powerful soul of Shi Lan, which was hidden within An Lan’s body.

She said she wanted to dismantle Tianwang; perhaps she truly meant it.

After settling the debt, the group left Tianwang Entertainment. Sun Ling only regretted why he was so cowardly to not have captured the exciting confrontation between the boss and those brothers.

After getting into the car, Sun Ling exclaimed, “My God! That was so intense, boss, I was sweating bullets, my God!”

Shi Lan returned to her usual demeanor, one that didn’t care for anyone else by the time night fell.

“But Boss, won’t it be very dangerous in the future? I’m most afraid that those two brothers will play dirty tricks,” Tang Ze expressed his concern, after all, it was his first time seeing those brothers so angry.

“Impossible, first, they know I’m related to Shuangshi, and they wouldn’t damage something out of fear of retaliation; second, Qu Mobai’s comment about ‘interesting’ stems from his inability to understand why An Lan has changed so drastically from before—he’s curious why I became like this, and he wants to figure it out more than using clandestine tactics against me. Third, they can’t outmaneuver me.”

After listening, Tang Ze felt somewhat more at ease because Shi Lan was right.

No woman had ever dared to confront those brothers like that before.

He couldn’t always think that just because the boss was a woman, she needed protection. Even if it were true, only a man like Yan Shixiu could ensure her complete safety.

“So, we’ve settled our debt, what’s the next step?”

“The order goes like this, the master first, Kong Lin next, and finally, we’ll send those brothers to the west.”

Shi Lan remembered that when Huahai was first established, she had the most detailed background checks conducted on all competitors in the industry. She had glanced over it years ago before it was locked away in Huahai’s safe. Regarding the Qu brothers, she felt there was more to dig into.

Sometimes she admired her own foresight, so on the way back, Shi Lan sent another WeChat message to Yan Shixiu.

Shi Lan: “My former office in Huahai, you haven’t touched it, have you?”

Yan Shixiu: “No, what do you need?”

Shi Lan: “A document locked in the cabinet.”

President Yan: “Exchange something?”

Shi Lan: “What do you want?”

President Yan: “I want you to come and stay with me tonight, Miss. I’m afraid I can’t let you go now.”

Finally, Tang Ze dropped Shi Lan off at the base of Huahai building, and only after President Yan’s assistant came to meet her did he leave Huahai with Sun Ling.

“Miss An, President Yan is still busy. I’ll take you up, but… how come you have something here at Huahai?” Yan Shixiu’s assistant was somewhat puzzled.

After all, it was the office of President Yan’s late wife.

How could An Lan have something left here?

“Once you go up, you’ll find out.” Shi Lan suddenly wanted to play a prank.

The two entered the president’s office of Huahai through the private passage. As soon as the assistant opened the door, Shi Lan headed straight for the back resting room and accurately located the safe. In front of the assistant, she opened the safe, which even Yan Shixiu couldn’t open, and precisely retrieved the item she wanted.

“Yinghua, does your President Yan also not know the safe’s password?”

The assistant sweated from her forehead but also felt a chill down her back: “Miss An, how did you know?”

Besides the document, Shi Lan replaced everything else back into its spot and then closed the safe door again.

“Because no second person knows this password.”

The assistant’s face turned pale with fear.

Upon seeing this, Shi Lan realized that this person’s courage was no better than Sun Ling’s, and she immediately began making up stories: “President Yan figured it out recently and asked me to come over to help him fetch something, what were you thinking?”

“So that’s it.” The assistant breathed a sigh of relief. It must have been because President Yan had brought Miss An up here before, so she knew her way around.

“Let’s go, to meet your President Yan.”

Having obtained the documents about the Qu brothers, Shi Lan planned to find a quiet place to review them thoroughly, and President Yan’s office would be a good choice.

But due to severe sleep deprivation recently, Shi Lan fell asleep in the back seat on the way to Shuangshi.

At the parking lot, the assistant didn’t dare to wake Shi Lan up and called Yan Shixiu instead.

“Don’t wake her, wait for me to come down.” President Yan commanded, then took his coat and descended the stairs. Upon seeing the assistant, he gestured for her to leave work.

Subsequently, he got into the driver’s seat, personally drove the car, and took Shi Lan back to the apartment.

In her daze, Shi Lan felt a familiar touch. When she opened her eyes, Yan Shixiu was carrying her out of the elevator.

“Sleep, we’re home now.”

“I have something to look at.” Shi Lan rallied her energy.

“We’re not looking at anything tonight, just sleep with me.” To keep Miss from working too hard, President Yan intentionally left the materials in the car, “Shi Lan, no one is chasing you anymore, you don’t have to be as taut as before, okay?”

Shi Lan breathed a sigh of relief, did not argue, and relaxed her body.

“Today, as I thought about An Lan’s death, I suddenly understood why I woke up from her body. Because our life and death are equally unblessed, with no kindness.”
