The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 681 - 678: The Barefooted Brawny Man Appears 4_1

As long as the sun rose every day, there was no trouble that couldn’t be overcome.

Yan Xixi woke up early, carefully grooming and dressing herself.

Expensive new clothes, luxurious handbags, and an extremely flashy supercar. Whenever she appeared at the entrance of the housing complex, the security guards always took several glances, their faces then breaking into smiles.

"Miss Yan, heading out so early?"

She nodded with a light smile.

In the morning, there weren’t many customers. Yan Xixi looked over the accounts for the current period and felt a bit hungry. Just as she was about to munch on some snacks, the office door was pushed open as if by a gust of wind.

The saleswoman followed behind, panting heavily, "I’m sorry, we couldn’t stop him..."

Yan Xixi stood up abruptly, looking at Yang Wei warily, "What do you want? Get out!"

Yang Wei sneered, "What I want? You know perfectly well. Yan Xixi, hand over everything you have today, and our feud will be settled. I won’t trouble you anymore. Or else..."

Seeing the viciousness in his eyes, Yan Xixi felt a wave of dread.

It was only because of those videos in her possession that she had managed to thoroughly scare Yang Wei off. Otherwise, why would this brute have stayed subdued for so long?

Hand them over? No way! If she did, she was afraid that without this leverage, he would turn on her in an instant.

Yang Wei blocked the doorway, "Yan Xixi, are you handing them over or not?"

"Call the police... Call the police immediately!"

The saleswoman turned to run, but Yang Wei roared, "Stop! Whoever dares to call the police, I’ll kill her today!"

In his hand, a sharp dagger was clearly visible. Seeing this, the saleswoman’s legs immediately went soft.

Yang Wei brandished the dagger, "If you don’t want her to die, then behave! Yan Xixi, you tell them not to call the police!"

Yan Xixi felt her heart pounding wildly, but she struggled to maintain her composure, "Yang Wei, don’t do anything rash..."

He laughed menacingly, "If you want me to stay calm, fine. You just need to hand everything over to me completely."

Pressured by Huang Xiaojue, Yang Wei had been forced to take leave from work and stay home. He was, however, inherently a gambler who indulged in all sorts of worldly pleasures. Previously, being short on cash often caused him to lose face among his friends. But after becoming the chief of city management, he began to flaunt his new status. Small-time peddlers and vendors seeking to operate without trouble, and businesses needing to set up road or storefront signs, would all slip him bribes. Over time, his illicit income grew quite substantial.

But just when he was thoroughly enjoying himself, Huang Xiaojue’s order came, and he no longer dared to go out and throw his weight around.

His savings dwindled from lack of income, and his fair-weather friends quickly showed their true colors; money became tight again. He didn’t dare provoke Huang Xiaojue, so he vented all his anger on Yan Xixi. He knew this woman held compromising material on him, and he couldn’t rest easy as long as she possessed it. Finally, he took the desperate risk of confronting her directly.

"Yan Xixi, you absolutely must give this to me today!"

Seeing the dire situation and unable to force her way out, Yan Xixi decided to stall for time. She stammered, "It’s not that I can’t give it to you... But, Yang Wei, how can you guarantee you won’t harass me again?"

"You have to hand them over! Once you do, our feud will be over. Remember, not a single one can be left; they must all be completely destroyed!"

"Why should I trust you?"

"You have to trust me. You have no room for negotiation!"

As he spoke, he advanced on her step by step.
