The other side, at Zhu Liangjun's house.

"Doctor Zhao, why are you here again?"

"I've made it clear to you, there is no way to settle the matter between Xu Wenjing and me privately. If you're here to persuade me again, then you might as well leave."

Zhu Liangjun said very unkindly, his face full of impatience.

His injuries have mostly healed by now, even speaking takes effort.

"Don't be so hot-tempered; it's not good for your health."

Zhao Tienan coughed lightly and continued, "You shouldn't be too stubborn; it's not beneficial for you."

"After all, we all live in the same village; it's best not to push people to the brink, or it might backfire."

Zhao Tienan didn't show any anger at Zhu Liangjun's attitude but rather appeared particularly gentle.

"Backfire?"

"Doctor Zhao, what do you mean by that?"

"This is your second time here; it feels like you're threatening me."

Zhu Liangjun glared coldly as he asked.

"Yes, you're right!"

"I'm here today to issue a final ultimatum. If you don't withdraw the lawsuit, I will take some necessary actions which will surely make your outcome worse than Xu Wenjing's."

Zhao Tienan said leisurely, a chilling sharpness flashing in his eyes.

"Do you think I'm easily scared?"

"I, Zhu Liangjun, walk upright and sit straight; am I supposed to be afraid of your threats?"

"I can withdraw the lawsuit if Xu Wenjing finds a way to restore what I've lost. Otherwise, no discussion!"

Zhu Liangjun's attitude was very firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

"Since that's the case, go through these first. If you still have the courage to speak to me like that, I'll truly respect you as a man."

After Zhao Tienan finished, he immediately tossed a manila envelope to Zhu Liangjun.

"What is this?"

"Doctor Zhao, I think you're just trying to mystify things!"

"I really don't understand why you always stand up for that crazy woman Xu Wenjing? Is there something between you two? I must say you can't resist, like you've never seen a woman before."

Zhu Liangjun sneered while speaking, and opened the manila envelope, scanning it quickly.

However, a few seconds later, Zhu Liangjun's face turned completely pale, as if he'd been immobilized, his whole body stiff.

Bean-sized cold sweat quickly broke out, even his pupils trembled intensely.

His hands shook as he held the paper inside the manila envelope, nearly collapsing.

"Doctor Zhao, where did you get these things?"

"This, this isn't possible!"

"No matter how powerful you are, you shouldn't have been able to steal the privacy from my phone, unless..."

Zhu Liangjun shredded the paper in his hand to pieces, roaring like a wild beast gone mad.

"Tearing them is useless!"

"These are merely photocopies. Your fraudulent chat records, they're all saved by me. As long as I want, I can easily print hundreds of copies!"

"I ask you one last time, will you withdraw the lawsuit or not? If you dare to be stubborn, I guarantee your time in prison will be much longer than Xu Wenjing's."

Zhao Tienan said expressionlessly.
