Therefore, the shout Jiang Hui made went unheard by others, which is why there was no response.

"That's right, everyone around us is one of my people. Do you have anything else to say now?"

Jiang Hui's complexion changed drastically, "You villain, I've been played by you twice now, and each time you were more despicable than the last, the epitome of a scoundrel."

Ling Zhenfei laughed without saying anything, but instead waved over a waiter, "Two servings of Wellington beef steak, two servings of grilled lobster, and a bottle of red wine, thank you."

"Certainly, sir. Please wait a moment."

"What are you doing, do you still have the appetite to eat?" Jiang Hui looked at Ling Zhenfei in disbelief.

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "How can I have the energy to do anything else if I don't eat my fill?"

Jiang Hui's face became even more unsightly, "What on earth do you want to do? You've asked me to come here and made such a big scene, what exactly are you trying to do? Is it just to humiliate me?"

Ling Zhenfei's expression also cooled, "There's only one purpose for doing this, and that's to find out what exactly you want to do. I've already punished you twice, thinking you would back down knowing the difficulty, but surprisingly you are still so stubborn. Now I need to make things clear."

"My purpose is simply to make money, didn't you just realize that?" said Jiang Hui.

"Can I trust your words? That time in the nightclub, what did you tell me, and what are you doing now? Not a single word you say can be taken as truth."

"Ling Zhenfei, don't scare me. I have something in my hands that you fear. Be careful, I might just post it online right now," Jiang Hui said with a determined look on her face.

"You really won't cry until you see your coffin, huh? Well then, I'll give you the chance to post it," he said coolly.

Jiang Hui, furious, said, "Don't think I won't dare to do it, I'll really post it." After saying that, Jiang Hui took out her phone only to find it was turned off, and no matter what she tried, it would not turn back on.

Ling Zhenfei watched and sneered as her phone had already been rendered useless, which was, of course, his doing.

Jiang Hui pulled out her camera to find that it too was powered off and wouldn't turn back on.

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "What's the matter, why not post it? I'm waiting online to see the comments."

Jiang Hui, shocked, looked at Ling Zhenfei, "The first time with you in the storage room, both the voice recorder and the camera broke, and the camera broke again in the nightclub. I thought it was a coincidence, but this time..."

"This time you should realize I'm not so easily framed," Ling Zhenfei said with a sneer.

Jiang Hui was stunned and didn't know what to do.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Since you know I'm a celebrity, you should be aware of the means at my disposal. If I wish, you won't survive tonight. Do you believe me?"

"Don't mess around, we have no feud. I'm just a paparazzi making money from taking your photos, don't be truly ruthless."

Ling Zhenfei's expression darkened, "Do you think I will believe you again? I don't trust a single word you say."

"I'm really just a paparazzi. Last time, you sold the scam from having dinner with a girl at Haidilao for five hundred thousand; I figured taking photos of you would definitely be profitable, so I targeted you."

"How long have you been following me?"

Jiang Hui said, "I haven't been tracking you for long. I only started after you came to this city."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "You're lying again. The very night I arrived in this city, you showed up. What a coincidence."

Jiang Hui was somewhat anxious, "I'm telling the truth. Someone provided me with your whereabouts, so that's why I went there."

"Who is the person providing you with information?" Ling Zhenfei knew that about half of what Jiang Hui was saying now was true.

Jiang Hui hesitated slightly before saying, "It was someone from Top Paparazzi who provided it to me."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned, "Top Paparazzi again? Can't you tell the truth for once?"

Jiang Hui became more anxious, "What I said is true, it really was Top Paparazzi who provided the information."

"Then call Top Paparazzi and let me listen," Ling Zhenfei's voice was cool and indifferent.

"Don't push me like this, I'm telling the truth, but I can't call them, really, please believe me," Jiang Hui said with rising urgency and a tremble in her voice.

"You don't have to call, just give me a perfect explanation. What is it for?" Ling Zhenfei, seeing Jiang Hui's state, didn't want to pressure her.

Tears began to stream down Jiang Hui's face, "Please, just let me go. I will do anything for you, no matter how you use or humiliate me, I only ask that you let me go."

Ling Zhenfei was truly surprised that Jiang Hui could say such things, wondering why she was willing to go so far yet not speak the truth.

"What secret do you have that you are willing to do such things rather than speak out? Maybe if you tell me, I could help you," Ling Zhenfei felt that Jiang Hui definitely had some unspeakable difficulty, or else she wouldn't act this way.

With a cold expression, Jiang Hui said, "Otherwise, let's go to a hotel room, or even the car is fine, do whatever you want, just stop asking questions."

"This is really curious, what could be so hard to say? I'm laying it out today, if you don't explain things clearly, I won't let you go, and I will personally call Top Paparazzi."

"No, please don't do that, I'm begging you," Jiang Hui appeared as if she was about to break down in tears.

"I promise you, if you tell me everything, I will definitely help you, no matter what problems you have, I will solve them all for you."

Jiang Hui's tears suddenly fell from her eyes, and she sighed, "Alright, what other choice do I have now? I can only tell you everything."

Ling Zhenfei knew that Jiang Hui was finally ready to come clean, to lay it all out, and it hadn't been easy.

Wiping away her tears, Jiang Hui began, "Originally, my family was well-off. My father was a minor official, and my mother a housewife. I also have a younger brother, and we were very happy."

"Until one day, someone suddenly came to us with a note demanding repayment. It turned out to be about a loan guarantee my father had made for someone. That person had absconded with the funds, and since my father was the guarantor, they came after him."

"But the sum was so large, we simply couldn't repay it. Those people pressed us hard, but seeing that we genuinely had no money, they proposed a condition. They wanted my father to use his official power to do something for them."

"Once the matter was settled, they would not pursue the debt. However, after my father complied, they went back on their word and collected all the evidence of my father abusing authority for personal gain, forcing him to continue working for them. If he refused, they threatened to expose him."

And so, my father became their pawn, one they could use indefinitely. Unable to bear it, he ultimately committed suicide by jumping from a building."
