Chapter 174: Am I Clear?

“Do you think it’s as simple to settle tax evasion?” Cheng Songyang looked coldly at his stupid sister. He sneered, “That foreign trade company is not as simple as you think. In addition, the authorities suspected the Cheng Foundation of illegal fund-raising and fraud. Do you think I don’t want to get my mother out? But do I look like I can do so?”

“No… Mom will be fine…” Cheng Liu was devastated. She was still hoping that she could earn both fame and fortune after coming back from the mountains. Cheng Liu had dreamt about getting along with those wealthy ladies and taking over her mother’s job. She would become as outstanding as her mother. But now, nothing was left for her and her mother.

Cheng Liu broke down and cried loudly. She grabbed Cheng Songyang’s arm and shouted frantically, “It’s all because of Shen Hanxing. It’s all because of her! Brother, I want Shen Hanxing to pay for what she had done!”

“Enough! Stop causing more trouble!” Cheng Songyang pushed Cheng Liu away in annoyance, making her fall onto the sofa. His eyes filled with disgust and disdain. He looked at her. “if it wasn’t for you and mom dragging me down, why would I follow Ji Yan and work for him like a dog? It’s fine if you can’t help me, but at least stay obedient and don’t cause trouble for me!”

If his mother and sister were half as capable as Shen Hanxing, the Ji Corporation would already be in his hands.

“You blame us for it?” Cheng Liu couldn’t believe what she heard. “Why are you blaming us? If it weren’t for mom helping you get money, would you have so much money? I have been in the mountains during New Year just because of you.”

“For who?” Cheng Songyang sneered. “You wouldn’t say it was for me, would you? Cheng Liu, everything you did was for your reputation. If it weren’t for your insatiable greed, you wouldn’t have ended up in this situation!”

Someone had exposed the scheme of mountain area donation. So, the foundation’s fraudulent donation was already an indisputable fact. Ji Mei’s imprisonment was unavoidable, and the scariest thing was that the relevant departments were already investigating the fund flow related to the foundation. Even Cheng Songyang was now tied up. He had no choice and had to tuck his tail between his legs.

“Yes, I did it for myself, but mom did it all for you!” She had long known that this brother of hers had a cold heart. But at this moment, Cheng Liu still couldn’t help but feel a chill in her heart. “Brother, do you still have a conscience?”

“Conscience?” Cheng Songyang’s face turned gloomy, and his eyes turned red in anger. He took a step forward and grabbed Cheng Liu’s neck.

“Ugh…” Cheng Liu could not breathe. She struggled to pull his hand away, but Cheng Songyang strangled tighter. Cheng Liu choked.

Her vision went dark. When Cheng Liu struggled to breathe, she met Cheng Songyang’s emotionless and murderous eyes. Her brother wanted to kill her!

This realization made Cheng Liu even more afraid. It was the first time she felt that death was so close to her. “No, brother… brother… Don’t…”

Cheng Songyang was unmoved by Cheng Liu’s pleas. When Cheng Liu was about to lose consciousness due to the lack of oxygen, Cheng Songyang suddenly let go of her.

Cheng Liu fell to the ground hard. She didn’t feel anything when her back hit the corner of the coffee table. She held her throat and coughed.

“Cheng Liu, let me tell you, my last conscience is to allow you to continue living in the Cheng family as a pampered young lady,” Cheng Songyang pulled Cheng Liu’s long hair and forced her to lift her head. His eyes were dark, like a beast hidden in the dark. He looked like a predator who could pounce at his prey and rip off its neck.

Cheng Liu looked at her in horror.

Cheng Songyang raised his hand and patted Cheng Liu’s cheek. “Stay at home and be obedient. When I need you in the future, cooperate. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not caring about our sibling relationship.”

Cheng Liu, who had just escaped from the brink of death, still had not recovered from her shock. She looked at Cheng Songyang with her lifeless eyes.

“Am I clear?” Cheng Songyang suddenly raised his voice. He grabbed her hair and slammed her on the sofa. “Talk to me!”

“I, I heard you,” Cheng Liu sobbed. She replied with her hoarse voice, “I heard you. I really heard you…”

“Good girl,” Cheng Songyang smiled in satisfaction. He let go of her hair and gently smoothed out her messy hair. “My good sister…”

Cheng Liu could not help but tremble, tears streaming down her face.

Cheng Songyang’s phone rang. After seeing the caller ID, Cheng Songyang put on a gentlemanly expression. “Miss Bai? Okay, no problem. I’ll be there right now.”
