Currently, no one in the underground world dared to say that they dared to challenge the empress. Tao Yinan was the first person Xu Yun had met, and he believed that she was probably the only one.
Of course, Tao Yinan knew very well whether she would feel regret after saying this. Some things were just words, but words that were said on impulse couldn't be taken seriously. Everyone understood this point.
Xu Yun said this to Tao Yinan largely as a form of sarcasm. This was because he knew very well that Tao Yinan only dared to say it, but she wouldn't really do it.
"Let me tell you, the matter between the Tao Family and the Jiang Family isn't just a matter between the two families. It's also a matter between the Jiang Family and the other six families." Tao Yinan continued, "The Jiang Family is only a representative in this matter."
"Miss Tao, are you trying to explain to me?" Xu Yun asked, "Or are you trying to explain to the empress that this matter isn't solely related to the Tao Family?"
Tao Yinan felt very uncomfortable after being exposed by Xu Yun. "I don't have anything to explain. I'm just telling you the truth."
"Everyone knows the truth." Xu Yun continued, "There's no need for Miss Tao to explain further. Everyone was well aware of what had happened to the Jiang family. It was the doing of the six great clans. However … why is the Tao Family so overbearing and ruthless? I'm afraid this has nothing to do with the other families, right? "
"It has something to do with them, of course it has something to do with them!" Tao Yinan wouldn't ignore the other families at this moment.
Seeing how flustered Tao Yinan was, Xu Yun could basically conclude that they were apprehensive of the empress.
At this point, Xu Yun was even more confused. Since they were so apprehensive of Zuo Lengyue, why didn't Zuo Lengyue bring Jiang Zixue along with her? Wouldn't Jiang Zixue be safer that way?
"Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with the other five families, the Tao Family is the one who did it." Xu Yun continued, "The Tao Family will bear all the consequences."
"What do you mean?" Tao Yinan asked, "Do you really think that I'm afraid of you? You can't represent the empress. Don't think that you can scare me with her. "
Xu Yun smiled. "Do I need to do that? Using the empress to scare you … Haha, Miss Tao, you're thinking too much. I'm not that kind of person, and I don't have the habit of using someone else's power to intimidate others. "
"Then why are you wasting your breath on me?" Tao Yinan said, "I'm not in the mood, nor am I interested."
"I think Miss Tao has quite a lot of refined interests. She even has time to go to the auction." After Xu Yun finished speaking, he took another sip of red wine. "Fortunately, this wine was bought by Miss Tao. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have the chance to taste it."
Seeing Xu Yun pour out so many of her treasures, Tao Yinan's anger couldn't be quelled. "I'm warning you, don't let me see the red wine in your glass again."
"It's such a waste for me to drink it all in one gulp." Xu Yun said, "Let's not rush. We can drink it slowly."
Tao Yinan felt like her lungs were about to explode from anger!
"Just treat it as making friends." Xu Yun said, "Miss Tao, don't be so hostile. I don't have any hostility when I come here."
"You know best whether or not you have any hostility," Tao Yinan said. "But I can also tell you bluntly that even if you have hostility, you can't do anything to me. You don't really think that I don't have anyone under me, right? "
"I don't dare to 'think' that easily." Xu Yun smiled. "But Miss Tao, you don't 'think' that I'm alone, right?"
Tao Yinan took a deep breath. She really couldn't take advantage of Xu Yun.
"I don't know if Miss Tao is alone, but I'm afraid that some of your subordinates aren't on Qingdao, right?" Xu Yun said, "A few days ago, I went out for a while. Because Jiang Zixue left her Ferrari with me and no one drove it, I borrowed it. As a result, someone followed me for a long time."
Tao Yinan was shocked. It was no wonder that Tao Ruhu and Tao Tianyi were taken to such a faraway place and played around with.
It was because they met such a difficult opponent.
"If that's the case, are you determined to protect the Jiang family?" Tao Yinan said, "In that case, I'll tell you bluntly. Standing on the Jiang family's side is making an enemy of the Tao family."
Xu Yun nodded. "And then?"
"And then, of course, you will have the same ending as the Jiang family … I believe you should understand that the Jiang family won't be able to escape the purge of the six great families. It's impossible for you to resist," Tao Yinan said coldly.
Xu Yun smiled. "Yes, it's really impossible for me to resist the purge of the six great families."
However, Xu Yun changed the topic and threatened her instead. "But I also believe that the Tao family won't dare to offend the empress because of this matter."
"What has already happened, I can't care so much anymore!" Tao Yinan said.
"It's a pity that you don't even know where Jiang Zixue is now." Xu Yun continued, "And I just need to let the empress know that the Tao family wants to exterminate the Jiang family. Then, you won't have a good ending."
Tao Yinan was stunned.
"Do you think that the Tao Family will still be able to gain any advantage in this matter?" Xu Yun said, "I believe that Miss Tao is a smart person and should know that there's no advantage at all.
Tao Yinan didn't need to be smart. She just needed to not be a fool to understand the meaning of Xu Yun's words.
Indeed, the Tao family wouldn't be able to take advantage of this matter. The six great families would benefit from exterminating the Jiang family. When the time came, the empress would only want to pursue the Tao family.
The other five great families would benefit from this, and the Tao family might even be affected by this matter.
Who didn't know that the empress was against this matter?
Facing difficulties head-on was definitely not a good idea.
"Miss Tao, some things aren't so easy to deal with." Xu Yun continued, "If I didn't guess wrongly, I'm afraid that you are already regretting why the Tao family took the lead, right?"
Of course, Tao Yinan regretted it.
Xu Yun continued to use psychological warfare to destroy Tao Yinan's psychological defense. "Actually, the Tao family was prepared to let Miss Tao take charge of the situation alone. That way, even if something happened, Miss Tao could be pushed to the front. After all, Miss Tao isn't even afraid of the empress … Hehe, at that time, the men of the Tao family wouldn't suffer any losses."
"Are you done?" Tao Yinan's chest was heaving up and down.
Xu Yun shrugged his shoulders and said, "Almost."
"If you are done, then I hope that you can leave my room immediately," Tao Yinan said. "I don't want to see you at all right now."
"But I haven't finished drinking my wine." Xu Yun continued, "If I remember correctly, Miss Tao said that you don't like to share things that others use. If there's still some wine left, you won't drink it either. Wouldn't that be too wasteful?"
"I don't care," Tao Yinan said coldly.
Xu Yun immediately said, "But I care."
"In that case, quickly finish your wine and get out of my room." Tao Yinan ordered him to leave.
"It seems that Miss Tao roughly understands what I mean," Xu Yun said. "I don't mind telling you that no one can touch the person that I want to protect."
"Shameless boasting!"
"If the Tao family wants to give it a try, then I will respectfully welcome it." Xu Yun threw down his last sentence, picked up the glass of 1787 Chateau Lafite, and drank it in one gulp. He slammed the glass of red wine down and left Tao Yinan's room.
A few minutes after Xu Yun left, Tao Yinan's emotions couldn't be calmed down.
She repeatedly told herself to control herself. Only then could she barely suppress her anger that was about to explode.
Tao Yinan only had one feeling now, and that was hatred!
She hated Xu Yun, hated Jiang Zixue, hated her clansmen, and hated herself!
