Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

A coffee shop on the street is a quiet place in this busy city. Lin Wei and Zhao Jiayu sat by the window. The sunlight shone on them through the glass, but it seemed unable to dispel the tense atmosphere between them.

"Miss Zhao is really powerful. She even contacted me." Lin Wei gently stirred the juice in front of her, with a hint of ridicule in her tone. Her eyes fell on Zhao Jiayu's delicately made-up face, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

Zhao Jiayu gathered her hair and sneered, "How did you know Jiang Youchuan would fall to such a state?" Her voice was low and cold, as if it carried a hint of hatred.

Lin Wei curled her lips, and her red lips looked even brighter under the light. She put her slender index finger against her lips and made a shushing gesture: "Shh, this is a secret!" After that, she slowly sipped the drink and continued: "Don't worry, you can take good care of Jiang Youchuan. According to his condition, he can't get up no matter what."

Zhao Jiayu raised her eyebrows, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes: "Really? Thank you so much." She had been resentful of Jiang Youchuan for a long time, and now hearing the news of his downfall, she felt a sense of relief.

However, Zhao Jiayu did not seem satisfied with this. She continued to ask, "How did you know?" There was a hint of urgency in her voice, as if she wanted to get more information from Lin Wei.

Lin Wei sneered and said, "I naturally have my channels. However, you seem to be very interested in Jiang Youchuan's affairs." There was a hint of sarcasm and suspicion in her tone.

Lin Wei thought to herself, of course she knew the ending of Jiang Youchuan's life, after all, it was originally written in the book. And she also had the system, which could obtain some information that others didn't know. However, she didn't want to tell Zhao Jiayu about this.

Zhao Jiayu sat opposite Lin Wei, her fists clenched, her knuckles white, showing her inner tension and unwillingness. She knew that Lin Wei was using her, but at the moment she had no choice but to cooperate with the other party temporarily.

"So have you found someone?" Lin Wei asked, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in her voice.

Zhao Jiayu took a deep breath and tried to calm herself: "It's almost there. I'll contact you when I find it." Although her voice was calm, there was an imperceptible hatred between the lines.

Lin Wei nodded slightly, as if she was not surprised by Zhao Jiayu's answer. She changed her posture, leaned forward slightly, and continued to ask: "So where is the man next to Ji Yan last time? I saw two men outside the door."

Zhao Jiayu sneered, her eyes revealing mockery and contempt: "You are really curious. The identities of those two men are beyond your and my imagination. I finally found out their identities through many connections. One is Zheng Haoqian, a master in the medical field, and the other is Helian Minxiao, a senior figure in the legal field. Haha, their identities are beyond your and my comprehension, why do you want to know their identities?"

Lin Wei frowned. She knew Zhao Jiayu was not willing to reveal too much information. But she did not give up. Instead, she pursed her lips and said impatiently, "Don't worry about it. I have my own plans."

Zhao Jiayu's face suddenly darkened, and she looked at Lin Wei coldly: "If you dare to do anything to let Jiang Nansheng down, I will not let you go." Her voice was full of threats and chills, which made people shudder.

Lin Wei's heart tightened. She knew what Zhao Jiayu said was true. In the book, Zhao Jiayu's obsession and madness with Jiang Nansheng were well known, and she would never allow anyone to hurt Jiang Nansheng. Lin Wei took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm: "I just want to get to know the man next to Ji Yan better."

Zhao Jiayu sneered and said nothing more. She knew Lin Wei was making excuses, but she didn't expose it. After all, their cooperation was only temporary, and they would go their separate ways after the matter was over.

The atmosphere between the two became more tense and heavy.
