From this moment onwards, Matt's expression turned even more sour, but he tried his best to hide it, "To be honest, you may be famous, but you are also very controversial. If I was to spread a few bad words about you in the US, I don't think your international career would survive."
"I don't care," Tangning replied. "But, of course, before you do that, you need to be given the chance to do it."
"You've been assuming that An Zihao is easy to bully because he is a rookie with no power and status. But, you must have no idea that An Zihao has connections with the best legal consultants in the US. I'm sure you must have heard of Darcy, right?"
Matt froze, unsure why Tangning mentioned this name.
Darcy was an authoritative lawyer from a famous American legal firm who had never lost a lawsuit before. But, what did he have to do with An Zihao?
"He is An Zihao's cousin," Tangning tried to speak gently to reduce the impact. "I'm sure Darcy will be able to find out how vulnerable your company is and how many immoral things you have done for the sake of money..."
"When that happens...I'm sure your entire company will collapse!"
"I didn't know..."
"Of course you didn't know. All you see is money," Tangning continued. "Did you think, after the way you slandered An Zihao, he would let you off?"
"Not only did you slander him, you also replaced his artist. I think a grudge like this is enough motivation for him to shut down your entire company."
Matt began moving restlessly in his seat like he had ants biting at his chest. But...Tangning did not stop.
"I'm my country, we often say that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Apart from applying to An Zihao, these words also apply to Chen Xingyan. She might appear to be a simple stunt double, but...at the same time, she is a precious treasure to the Mo Family."
"If you offend her, you are offending both my husband and I as well."
"My husband and I can't stand seeing people around us get hurt. In response, our methods are ruthless. I'm sure you would have been warned in the past not to provoke us."
Tangning was powerful and to be feared.
But, everything that Tangning said was the truth.
If one was to ask who they shouldn't offend when pursuing a career in Asia, the answer would be Hai Rui without a doubt.
"Let me see...I assume that An Zihao's lawyers should be arriving in the next few hours..."
"Mrs Mo..." Matt was terrified as he lightened his tone, "If there's a problem, we can discuss it slowly."
"There's nothing to discuss. You need to recall what you have said to the public and admit that you were wrong. And in addition to that, you need to get rid of Annie. Apart from doing those two things, I won't accept anything else," Tangning was suddenly strong and firm with her words. "Did you think that this is the US where you can get whatever you want?"
"That's too much to ask for."
If they were to admit to their wrongdoings, they would be destroying themselves...
How could they do such a thing?
"Then, there's nothing I can do for you." After speaking, Tangning stood up to leave, but Matt immediately blocked her way.
"Wait Mrs Mo, can we negotiate a little? Apart from your first condition, we can compromise in other ways...I am happy to get rid of Annie and to do other things, but I can't do the first thing you asked for."
Tangning laughed at the sight of the man's fear as she sat back down, "I can promise not to do anything to you, but you need to do as I say."
"Speak..."
"I want you to wait until you hold a press conference for 'The Savage Wars' before you turn Annie into an unwanted piece of trash in front of everyone."
