2161 Hate Coercion and Threats the Most

After what had happened yesterday, Qu Hanjiao fell ill in the middle of the night. She had a high fever and it was very serious, so she took leave and went home early the next morning.

Qu Hanjiao believed what Gu Ning reminded her not to do, but she was unwilling to give up the deal with the water ghost, because in that case, she wouldn't be able to retaliate against her enemies.

She wanted to find that woman, but she didn't know who that woman was, or where to find her.

That afternoon, Gu Ning took a leave of absence. At noon, she went to the café near their school to meet with Jing Yunfei and talked about business matters.

The result of the conversation was naturally unsatisfying. Therefore, Jing Yunfei turned to coercion and bribery, wanting to oppress Gu Ning.

Gu Ning naturally wasn't oppressed by the pressure from Jing Yunfei, and she was angry at his coercion and temptation. She also released strong pressure towards him.

"Mr. Jing, business requires willingness. I'm not willing to do this deal with you. That is my freedom and power. Isn't it too overbearing for you to be so intimidating and threatening?" Gu Ning said mockingly, without anger, but it made people feel quite pressured.

Jing Yunfei wasn't affected by the pressure from Gu Ning, but he was shocked by her confidence.

Unexpectedly, Gu Ning, a 19-year-old girl, could be so confident and powerful. If an ordinary businessman was sitting in front of her, he would definitely be oppressed by her power.

"Overbearing? So? Miss Gu, why do you have to be so stubborn? If there is any loss due to this, it won't benefit you, right?" Jing Yunfei said. He didn't think there were any problems with being overbearing, as long as the goal could be achieved.

"So? There are at least hundreds of people who came to talk to me about business, and many of them have tried coercion and temptation, but no one has ever succeeded," Gu Ning said. She couldn't care less about Jing Yunfei's feelings.

"That's because they lack the ability." Jing Yunfei wasn't mad, but remained arrogant. He admitted that Gu Ning was very outstanding, but she was outstanding only among mortals. In his eyes, she was just a nobody.

"Really? Is Mr. Jing going to argue with me to the end?" Gu Ning asked calmly. Even though Jing Yunfei seemed to be very capable, Gu Ning still felt no fear at all.

"Miss Gu, I just want to cooperate with you. If it's possible, I don't want to have any unpleasant conflicts with you," Jing Yunfei said, taking the initiative and watching how Gu Ning would choose.

"In my life, I hate coercion and threats the most. If other people don't offend me, I won't annoy them either, but if people offend me, of course I won't be polite. Mr. Jing, let me be honest, I met someone, and he mentioned you to me. No, actually he mentioned several people to me. He said if those people dare to hurt me or my businesses, I can tell him and he'll report it to their supervisor so that those people will be severely punished," Gu Ning said. It was a threat. "Mr. Jing, I think you should know the approximate identity of him, right? Because when I talked to those people, those people were very scared. If they weren't scared back, do you think it would be your turn to coerce and bribe me?"

Although she wasn't afraid of Jing Yunfei, she didn't want him to really do something to her companies, because once he did it, there would be losses. Even if she finally got compensation, it would still be very troublesome.

Therefore, Gu Ning deliberately said that, telling him in a roundabout way that someone from the cultivation world had come to her, hoping that Jing Yunfei would be scared and would not do anything to her businesses.

If he only attacked her, there was nothing for her to worry about.

Hearing that, Jing Yunfei suddenly looked upset. Although he didn't know who this so-called person was, the person was obviously from the cultivation world.

No, the person should be from Tiandaozong, as only people from Tiandaozong could scare those people Gu Ning just mentioned.

No need to guess, Jing Yunfei already knew who those people were. They were like him and were sent by other powerful families for the same purpose.

It seemed that their actions were being watched by people, and once they were found to be hurting mortals, the person would appear.

"Oh, really? Miss Gu, can you tell me who the person is?" Jing Yunfei asked. He wasn't fully convinced by Gu Ning's words. Gu Ning wasn't an ordinary girl, and she might be deceiving him on purpose.

"I don't know the name of that person, but I know the names of those people. Those people are called Dongfang Jinghong, Yin Shiyi, and Hong Yifeng, and you are called Jing Yunfei," Gu Ning said.

Gu Ning mentioned them because she wasn't worried that Jing Yunfei would go to ask them.

Hearing that, even if Jing Yunfei didn't want to believe it, he couldn't help but believe it, so he felt worse now. If Gu Ning was lying, she wouldn't know the names of those people! She also knew his full name when he only told her his last name.

At the same time, Jing Yunfei also wondered whether it was because Dongfang Jinghong and Yin Shiyi saw that they couldn't cooperate with Gu Ning, and deliberately said something like that to her, so that other people couldn't cooperate with Gu Ning either.

However, even so, as long as he did anything, other people would definitely investigate him. Therefore, he was threatened by Gu Ning's words.

Because of that, Jing Yunfei felt he was greatly humiliated by Gu Ning, which made him even more unhappy with her.

"So, Miss Gu, you won't agree no matter what I say, right?" Jing Yunfei asked unwillingly.

"Yes, as I said just now, I won't cooperate with anyone, because I don't lack funds or manpower, and I don't need to cooperate with anyone," Gu Ning said.

Given the current situation, Jing Yunfei was already very clear about Gu Ning's attitude. Although he was reluctant to give up, he didn't have a choice. In that case, there was no need to say anything.

"If so, I think I should leave now," said Jing Yunfei, then he stood up and walked away without hesitation.

Gu Ning hadn't finished her coffee yet, so she didn't rush to leave. She finished the coffee before leaving.

After leaving the café, Gu Ning returned to the siheyuan. At the same time, she also asked K to investigate and follow Song Yang, starting from the investigation of Blue Maple Decoration Company.

Gu Ning went back to the siheyuan and asked Shangguan Yang for a Taoist magic figure to show a ghost's body, which she prepared for Zhao Xiaoxi

At the same time, Gu Ning also told Shangguan Yang about Zhao Xiaoxi's story. Shangguan Yang had no opinion on what Gu Ning did, as long as she didn't kill on her own.

After all, murder was illegal. Gu Ning and Song Yang had no direct grievances, and murder was also detrimental to one's yin morality.
