Chapter 186 Mr. Butch
Jiang Yue squinted her eyes at the woman who was sobbing while kneeling in front of her.
She seemed to fear her more than she feared her boss.
"Who asked you to do this?" Jiang Yue asked while sending warning glances to Fu Jin. She could sense Fu Jin's murderous aura increasing as time went by.
"Here... Here take my phone. It's there... in a text... they only sent me a text message showing my brother..." Yu Yan continued to shake while giving Jiang Yue her phone. "I really don't have intentions... no intentions... I just... they told me they would kill him if I... didn't do it."
Jiang Yue accepted the phone and shoved it into her pocket. She would do everything she could to figure out the culprit behind all of this.
"What happened?" Wang Minghua asked the moment he arrived at Fu Jin's office. He was accompanied by Wang Bolin and even he was surprised to see someone kneeling in front of Jiang Yue.
"I was right. Someone wanted to target one of us tonight. And it seems that it was Fu Jin." Jiang Yue said, her gaze never leaving Yu Yan. From Yu Yan's guilty appearance, Jiang Yue knew that what she felt was not just fear towards her but guilt... As if she was still hiding something.
"Tell me what you know!" Fu Jin asked. This time, he was calmer than a minute ago. However, his gaze towards Yu Yan was still dark and murderous. As if one wrong word trigger him to kill her.
Yu Yan trembled even more, "Mr. Fu... I don't know... I really don't... They sent me the message two days ago. Please believe me."
"Bei Ye kill her." Fu Jin said in a low voice.
"NOOOO! Please don't! Please!!! I will talk. I will talk! Pleaseee!" Yu Yan pleaded. She had thought that Fu Jin would not dare to kill her in front of Jiang Yue, just like how she had thought that Jiang Yue would not kill her in front of Fu Jin. However, it seemed that she had miscalculated. This couple didn't have any reservations at all.
"Speak!" Jiang Yue said.
"I... I... " Yu Yan tried to compose herself before speaking. "I received a voice message two days ago. It was my brother's voice pleading someone not to touch him. Then... Then... Another voice said that I needed to do everything they order me to do or else they would kill him."
"Then?" Jiang Yue asked.
"After that they started sending me messages. They told me that Mr. Fu would be alone tonight and that no one would come with him. They said that Moon Publishing is important to him so he would not hesitate to attend a meeting if I called him in the middle of the night."
Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes at her. "You are still hiding something."
"The... The plagiarism is true... I'm not sure how they did it it, but they said... they said Mr. Fu would be busy these next two days so he wouldn't have the time to investigate about this matter. That's all... I promise. That's all... I am not hiding anything anymore."
Jiang Yue played with her hair while looking at Yu Yan like how a hawk would look at its prey. "This is getting boring. Bei Ye just kill her. She is not telling the truth."
Yu Yan widened her eyes when she heard Jiang Yue. So it was true. This woman was ruthless even when with her lover was around. "Please!!! I will talk now. I will talk now."
"I'm sorry but I've lost all interest. Kill her!" Jiang Yue commanded.
"NOOOO... Please! It's the manuscript! It's the manuscript!" Yu Yan said in a hurry. Now she could see that Jiang Yue seriously wanted her dead.
"What manuscript?" Jiang Yue titled her head towards Fu Jin before looking at Yu Yan.
"We had this book which got the eyes of two film producers. However, Mr. Fu declined one of them. Then... then... they paid me to give them the manuscript so they could make their own film and release it ahead of time. They wanted to beat the producer that had gained Mr. Fu's approval." Yu Yan said as she lowered her head. She was done for. Even if she survived this night, she would surely end up in prison. Tears started to fall on her cheeks.
"So the people who called you used this to blackmail you?" Jiang Yue asked after piecing the whole story together.
Yu Yan nodded, the feeling of defeat looming within her. Those people had used this to blackmail her and to make sure that she would follow their commands. They had even kidnapped her brother.
"That's it?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Yes... Miss Jiang forgive me. That's all I know."
Jiang Yue looked at Fu Jin while waiting for his decision. Based on how Jiang Yue analyzed Fu Jin's temper, only two things could happen now. Either Fu Jin would let this woman go to prison, or torture her.
"Take her to Mr. Butch. I want to know everything about the other producer." Fu Jin told Bei Ye. "Ask someone to burn everything in my sleeping room. Meanwhile, have someone clean my office as well. Make sure to change all the furniture and sterilize everything."
Bei Ye nodded before dragging the sobbing Yu Yan into the elevator.
