The nonchalant tone at the other end of the phone reignited the hatred Yuan Silei had struggled to suppress. Without much thought, she blurted out, “Will the medicine you gave me have any impact on my body?”

However, the moment the words left her mouth, regret washed over her. She covered her mouth, desperately wishing to take back what she had just said. She feared the other party might grow suspicious after hearing that.

Sure enough, a prolonged silence followed her impulsive remark, leaving Yuan Silei on edge.

“What do you mean?” she asked.

After a considerable pause, the female voice asked again, “What are you suspecting? Or do you want to know something?”

“No,” Yuan Silei quickly denied. She realized she had been too hasty and adjusted her tone, saying, “l just find it a bit peculiar. You asked me to find a way to deliver the medicine to Ye Lengan, but she doesn’t need to ingest it. You just want her to keep it with her for a while. Does that mean the medicine has an effect as long as it’s nearby? I’ve been carrying this medicine for some time. Will it affect my body?”

She added, trying to maintain a calm tone to avoid arousing suspicion. Despite her deep-seated hatred for the other party, she knew she couldn’t afford to provoke them now.

If she genuinely desired retaliation, the only option was to wait for Ye Lengan to retaliate against the other party. She couldn’t do anything herself. If she was detected, it might bring disaster to her family instead.

The female voice responded indifferently, “This won’t affect your body. No need to worry. However, are you sure Ye Lengan will wear that talisman? Don’t forget our deal. If you can’t make it happen, then…”

Interrupting the other party, Yuan Silei rushed to assure, “Ye Lengan has already promised to wear it. But, you know, I can’t control whether she’ll actually wear it! 1 can’t be with her 24/7, keeping an eye on her!”

“That’s not my concern,” the cold female voice replied. “If you couldn’t fulfill it back then, you shouldn’t have agreed. Since you promised, you must follow through. I can’t let all my efforts go to waste!”

Despite her intense resentment upon hearing the earlier words, Yuan Silei managed to control her anger at the other party’s shamelessness. There was a clear issue with her health, yet the other party continued to lie through their teeth. If Yuan Silei hadn’t visited the hospital for a check-up, she might have been deceived.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Yuan Silei questioned, “I’ve done what you asked. You’re not reneging on our deal, right? If you do anything to my family, I won’t just sit idly by.”

A cold laugh echoed from the other end. “Are you threatening me? Do you think you have the ability to threaten me?”

“l may not have much ability, but I’m not an ignorant girl,” Yuan Silei retorted.

“l don’t know the nature of your relationship with Ye Lengan, but I doubt you want her to know someone is trying to harm her secretly!”

The response from the other side included infuriated panting sounds, indicating the other party’s anger.

“You’ve decided to be my enemy, haven’t you?” The other party’s tone turned colder. “Do you really believe you can resist my revenge?”

Although fear gripped her, Yuan Silei forced herself to remain calm. “l have no intention of becoming your enemy. You’ve helped our family, and you’re considered a benefactor. I’m grateful. But if you want to harm my family, I can’t just watch. As long as you don’t harm my family, I promise not to reveal anything about you to Ye Lengan.”

With a sense of guilt, Yuan Silei nervously awaited the other party’s response. Despite her firm words, she knew the other party’s influence far surpassed her family’s.

“Hehe, as long as you do what I say, I won’t touch your family.” The cold laughter continued. “If you dare utter a word to Ye Lengan, I won’t just retract

my assistance. I’ll also demand interest. Should anything happen to your family then, don’t regret it.”

Yuan Silei felt as though she had plunged into an ice cellar. She hadn’t expected the other party to be so ruthless. Any action on her part would not only result in the withdrawal of assistance but also put her family’s lives at risk.

“How dare you…” Yuan Silei’s voice trembled. “This is a society governed by law. If you act recklessly, the police won’t let you off.”

“A society governed by law?” the other party scoffed. “Do you think what you’ve done for me aligns with the law? You can’t even abide by the law yourself, yet here you are, threatening me. Go ahead, see if this so-called society governed by law can protect your family.”

Fear consumed Yuan Silei. She regretted her impulsive words. She hastily assured, “l won’t say anything to Ye Lengan. Not a word. But you mustn’t harm my family either, or we’ll face it head-on.”

“As long as you know what’s good for you, 1 don’t want to harm your family.

But if you fail to appreciate my kindness, don’t blame me for being ruthless..”
