The Villain's Wife

Chapter 589 Leeches


Chapter 589 Leeches

"I — I didn't do anything to your wife."

"Yet." He added as he held a box in his hand. "Miss Yu… do you know that losing forty percent of our blood could kill us?" he asked as he raised the glass to Yu Yanwan. "It will make your body lose the ability to control blood pressure. And that is enough to cause death."

"Why would you say something like that?" she eyed the box and looked at the slimy black things that were inside. "What is that?"

"Leeches." He answered with a straight face. "The type that likes to drink human blood." He eyed the leeches and smiled. "Silly little creatures."

"Are… Are you trying to threaten me?"

"No… I am trying to tell you that 500 leeches are enough to kill an adult. Of course, that will depend on your overall size, but the point is… the death won't be pleasing."

Yu Yanwan swallowed her saliva. She felt her goosebumps skittered across her skin as she tried to show that she was not afraid. "What is your point?"

"Nothing much. Just… little information to keep you calm." He covered the box and turned his attention towards Yu Yanwan. "Now… let's talk about the article that you wanted to release my wife."

"How did you — " she pursed her lips when she realized how stupid her question was. "I was not planning to release the articles. It was… At that time I was furious, so I called that man to write some false news. But I wasn't planning on releasing it." She instantly denied it.

"Hmmm… Is that so?" Zhou Jingren gave a mirthless smile.

"Yes! Yes…. Of course. I was not planning to do it."

"What about after reading the will?" he asked.

Yu Yanwan turned silent at Zhou Jingren's question. For a few seconds, she thought that Zhou Jingren might be trying to make her give the wrong answer. "Why are you doing this?" she asked. "Having me here without my consent is illegal. This is kidnapping."

"Miss Yu… is really delusional. Why do I need to kidnap you? I can just kill you If I want to. Do you think… your husband is brave enough to look for you?"

Yu Yanwan widened her eyes when she saw Zhou Jingren held a gun. "Now… don't look at me like that." He chuckled. "If I wanted to shoot you… you would be dead by now."

"You — you can't scare me with these guns and leeches of yours!"

"I know." He nodded. "And I don't just scare people. Do you see that glass next to your seat?"

In response, she looked at the glass full of yellowish substance.

"Familiar?" he asked. "Of course… isn't that the poison that you use against your mother?"

"That — That is not true!"

"So… when I heard that you are planning to release news against my wife. I thought… maybe you deserve a wake-up call." Zhou Jingren said almost lazily. "Now… I don't want to waste my time in silly conversations. So I would like to give you something. A gift… for trying to make it look like my wife caused the death of your mother."

"But I didn't release the news."

"The intention to hurt my wife was enough." Zhou Jingren said. "You and your husband were given the same poison." He then held a tablet and showed it to Yu Yanwan. I asked him to chose. He could drink it save you or… you drink it to save him. Do you want to hear what he said?"

"I—" Yu Yanwan stuttered. For some reason, she does not have the courage to hear her own husband's words.

"It's fine." Zhou Jingren instantly waved and turned off the tablet. "Drink it or we force him to drink the poison. Don't worry… it won't kill you. As long as you get the monthly medicine for— "

"There's a medicine?" she asked. "You mean…"

"It will slow the poison down." He interrupted her. "Now… my people will contact you every month. They will give you the medicine to keep you alive for a while."

"Why are you doing this?" she asked. Yu Yanwan didn't even know the emotions that she is feeling inside. She felt angry and hurt for her husband's decision. Then there was anger towards Lily, and confusion at Zhou Jingren's action. "I didn't even do anything to you and Lily!"

"Did you forget the fire?" Zhou Jingren smiled. The fire was something that could have harm Lily or even traumatized her. Zhou Jingren could not even begin to imagine what could have happened if Lily was inside the mansion during that incident.

What if the fire was not stopped? What if… 

The what-ifs are enough to make him infuriated. He would never allow this woman to hurt his Lily!

"You will never get away with this!" Yu Yanwan hissed. "If you think I will…"

"Then… we can just kill your husband." Zhou Jingren said. "Since you really wanted to lose him then— "

"Wait!" Yu Yanwan instantly said when she saw Zhou Jingren started to dial someone's number on his phone. "I will drink it! I will drink it! Just — let him go!"

Zhou Jingren pursed his lips as he watched the latter drink the liquid in the glass in one gulped. He then smiled at her. "Now... you will live just like your mother." Zhou Jingren said. "In a month, one of my men will contact you. If you want to stay alive, then you better see him. My people are watching you. One mistake and your husband will end up dead in a ditch somewhere." He met her scared eye. "Do you understand me?" he asked.

"I — I do. I understand you."

"Now… leave. I don't want to ever see you again. Go get your husband in the hospital and remember… if you try to do something. We will know. We always do."

Yu Yanwan did not wait for Zhou Jingren to utter another word as she ran out of the van. Her face pale, her heart drumming against her chest.
