Chapter 233: Two Childish People

As long as she participated in labor, she could at least maintain her food and clothing. She didn’t need to fight and kill, nor did she need to worry about schemes. Under Yi Chengxuan’s protection, she could live well in prison. These were Denise’s thoughts. Moreover, Yi Chengxuan was a trustworthy person. At least, that was what she thought.

But in the next moment, Yi Chengxuan’s words were like a sharp knife that stabbed into her heart.

Yi Chengxuan looked at her expressionlessly and said indifferently, “I won’t keep my promise.” After saying that, he looked at Yue Xin. “Yue Xin, think carefully about how to deal with this woman.”

Think about it carefully? Yue Xin began to think.

Denise looked at Yi Chengxuan in disbelief. His face was still so exquisite, but the charming smile had disappeared. She suppressed the anger in her heart and controlled her tone as she asked, “What do you mean? Is the person in charge of Building No. 5 going back on his word?”

Yi Chengxuan didn’t answer Denise. He didn’t even look at her. Instead, he looked at Yue Xin and asked, “Have you thought about how to deal with her?”

Yue Xin tilted her head. “Not yet.”

Yi Chengxuan smiled. “There’s no hurry. Take your time.”

When No.12 saw what was happening in front of him, his vigilance against Yi Chengxuan increased again. If he were to deal with Denise, he would at most kill her. However, Yi Chengxuan was clearly using her until there was nothing left. He threw her away and stabbed her in the heart at the same time. It was really too ruthless. However, No.12 would not stop him. He would only seize the time to persuade Yue Xin.

No.12 silently moved to Yue Xin’s side and whispered into her ear, “Yi

Chengxuan can’t be trusted. You have to be careful.”

Yi Chengxuan glanced at No.12 and said, “I heard it.”

No.12 glared at Yi Chengxuan. “I let you hear it on purpose.”

Yue Xin looked at the two of them.

Childish.

Then she continued to think about how to deal with Denise. In fact, she was very interested in Denise’s ability. She had a feeling that she would use it in the future, so she wanted to keep Denise by her side. But she couldn’t control Denise now. What if Denise betrayed her again?

Seeing that Yi Chengxuan was ignoring her completely, a sense of powerlessness surged in Denise’s heart. She had miscalculated. Yi Chengxuan was completely different from the rumors. That made sense. If he was really a kind person, how could he have become the person in charge of Building No. 5?

At this moment, Denise had no choice. She didn’t want to become a plaything in Building No. 8, but her act of betraying Yue Xin to E.P. was equivalent to standing with Building No. 8. If Yi Chengxuan wasn’t in the way, no one would help her. Denise could only choose to risk everything. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll spread the news that you broke your promise today?”

Only then did Yi Chengxuan answer Denise’s question. “Even if you spread it, everyone will only think that you want to cling to me and bite back after I rejected you. This is a land of depravity. It’s different from the outside. You can use your pitiful appearance to gain sympathy outside, but here, be it the hearts of the people or public opinion, they’re on the side of the strong.” After saying that, Yi Chengxuan pointed out, “It’s not a good thing to be associated with two forces at the same time.’

When Yue Xin heard this, she muttered to herself, “I’m already related to three factions.’

No.12 reminded, “It’s four.’

Hearing this, Yue Xin turned to look at No.12 with a puzzled expression.

No.12 explained, “You came from Building No. 1. You were originally related to Building No. 1.”

Yue Xin nodded. “That’s true.”

The content of the conversation was clearly very serious, but when it came from No.12 and Yue Xin, it sounded especially ordinary.

Yi Chengxuan was already used to the way these two spoke. Only Denise didn’t know what to do for a moment.

At this moment, Yue Xin suddenly asked Yi Chengxuan, “You don’t seem to have a reason to target Denise. Why did you break your promise?”

When Yi Chengxuan heard Yue Xin’s words, he chuckled. A trace of mockery flashed across his eyes, as if he was sighing at Yue Xin’s naivety.

“Yue Xin, when you want a prey, other than controlling his weakness and using transactions and feelings, there’s another way. It’s to force him to a dead end and leave him no choice but to choose you. This is the most reassuring method.”

Hearing Yi Chengxuan’s words, Denise’s expression changed, as if she finally knew Yi Chengxuan’s intentions. She asked in disbelief, “You wanted to scheme against Yue Xin?”

Yi Chengxuan smiled gently. “Yes, I schemed against her, but I wanted her to win.”

Denise’s expression turned even uglier. “You wanted me to give Yue Xin’s cards to E.P. so that Yue Xin can win?” Denise had never heard of such a logic..
