Chapter 300 - Tit for Tat (2)
“You played me!” Li Hongyu was stunned for a while before she suddenly came back to her senses. She stood up and shouted while pointing at Zhao Youlin angrily.
The police officers next to them frowned upon seeing this. They coughed lightly to warn Li Hongyu.
Li Hongyu became stiff, and the aura around her became weaker as well.
Zhao Youlin chuckled. She got up and glanced at Li Hongyu with disdain. “Do you really think that I would be unprepared? Li Hongyu, you’re still too na?ve. Since I let Zhao Youxi know that the recording exists, do you think that I would not be prepared at all? You should be grateful that those people didn’t kill me that day. Otherwise, the recording would have been automatically posted on the internet, and now, there will be one more person here to accompany you and your daughter.”
As soon as Zhao Youlin finished speaking, the last trace of blood on Li Hongyu’s face completely faded. She looked at Zhao Youlin as if she was looking at a monster.
“Don’t look at me with this kind of gaze. To deal with people like you guys, I’m afraid that I won’t know how I died if I didn’t keep an eye on you guys.”
Zhao Youlin ignored Li Hongyu’s vicious gaze, and she slowly walked out from behind the table. Then, she walked around the obstructive table and walked to Li Hongyu step by step. She looked down and said, “Speaking of it, the recording had been really useful. The first time I used it, Zhao Youxi was frightened. The second time I used it, Zhao Shuncheng was angry. In your opinion, would I be able to scare you if I take it out now?”
“You…” A trace of panic quickly flashed in Li Hongyu’s eyes. Her hands that had been placed on her knees obediently could not help but clenched into fists, and she slowly raised them up.
Zhao Youlin saw her every move. She casually extended her hand and put it on the back of Li Hongyu’s chair. “Actually, you don’t have to be so nervous. If I really wanted to use that to deal with Zhao Youxi, I don’t have to wait until now.”
As Zhao Youlin spoke, she suddenly got near Li Hongyu’s ear. She whispered, “Sometimes, when you really want to deal with a person, it is much more fun to play with a prey until it wishes to die before eating instead of killing it from the start.”
Li Hongyu’s eyes suddenly widened. She stared at Zhao Youlin who had already straightened up blankly. “Y-You did it on purpose!”
She purposely let Zhao Youxi know about the existence of this recording and used it to drive her out of the company. This is because Zhao Youlin knew that once Zhao Youxi was kicked out of the company, Li Hongyu would definitely panic and go to Zhao Shuncheng for help.
When Zhao Shuncheng came to look for her, she purposely used this recording again to draw out the grievances Zhao Youlin had suffered under Li Hongyu over the years. She took the opportunity to destroy the relationship between him and Li Hongyu as well as Zhao Youxi.
Zhao Youlin did not deny it. She looked at Li Hongyu’s resentful eyes and continued to laugh mockingly. She said, “I expected you to be panicked once you knew about it, but I never thought that you would lose your mind and ruin yourself because of this. In this way, it saved me a lot of trouble.”
“You… you darn…” Zhao Youlin’s words were like the final straw. It completely crushed Li Hongyu’s sanity.
With a bang, Li Hongyu got up from the chair, and she wanted to pounce on Zhao Youlin.
Zhao Youlin had been preparing for a long time. She moved to the side skilfully and avoided Li Hongyu’s scratching.
At the same time, the police officers on the side quickly rushed up as well. They pressed Li Hongyu on the table when the situation was a mess.
But at that point, Li Hongyu had lost her mind for a long time. She stared at Zhao Youlin with a pair of red eyes. Her face was hideous, and she kept struggling.
Zhao Youlin looked at Li Hongyu’s reactions. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said softly, “I really should let Zhao Shuncheng look at your current appearance and let him know what kind of a person the woman he has adored for more than ten years is like. However, I think he should have known it by now. After all, it is impossible for a woman who hired someone to kill people to be kind. Under this circumstance, do you think he would choose to spend a lot of effort to rescue you, a vicious woman, or find another gentle and considerate lover?”
“No, Shuncheng won’t treat me like this. He won’t treat me like this! The relationship between me and him is more than ten years. He likes me so much, so it is impossible for him to abandon me and find another woman at this time!”
“When you say this, won’t you feel guilty? If you really want to talk about time, my mother was his childhood friend. Who else can get along with him longer than my mother? He still abandoned my mother without hesitation.”
“No, it’s not the same. I’m different from your mother!” Li Hongyu struggled and shouted, “How can your mother compare to me? I gave birth to his son. Did your mother have a son? Did she?”
“You’re right, my mother didn’t give birth to his son. But if you can give birth to his son, other women can give birth to his son as well.”
Zhao Youlin looked at Li Hongyu’s expression that suddenly stiffened. The mockery in her eyes became even obvious. “You’ve been in the police station for a day. Why didn’t I see the man, who has been with you for more than ten years, come to visit you?”
“This…” Li Hongyu’s expression changed slightly. A trace of terror appeared in her eyes.
“To tell you the truth, as soon as you were taken away yesterday, your precious daughter rushed to find Zhao Shuncheng anxiously.”
Since the car accident, Zhao Youlin had been asking people to monitor Zhao Shunchang and Zhao Shunchang’s families. After she listened to Xiao Jingyao’s words yesterday, she received a call from those who monitored them. She got a lot of useful information from those people.
Recalling the things Zhao Youlin heard last night, she could not help but look at Li Hongyu with a little pity. However, most of it was an evil gloat. “Unfortunately, not only that Zhao Youxi failed to find you a helper, but she also bumped into Zhao Shuncheng and a woman, whom he recently adored, living under the same roof intimately. They were full of affection toward each other, other people would be so envious of them. Zhao Youxi was angry, so she reasoned with Zhao Shuncheng for you. But Zhao Shuncheng got angry at Zhao Youxi because of that woman. Even if Zhao Youxi told him that you were arrested and begged him to save you, he was indifferent. He held his new lover in his arms and closed the door on Zhao Youxi. He even said to her…”
“He said what?” Li Hongyu asked with a pale face.
“He said…” Zhao Youlin stared at Li Hongyu’s eyes. She said those cruel words word by word, “To let you die.”
Li Hongyu’s struggle suddenly stopped. Then, she started to struggle even more. “Impossible. It’s impossible. You’re lying to me. You’re lying to me!”
Zhao Youlin stood at the side with her arms crossed. She looked at Li Hongyu from a high position, as if she was looking at a dying struggling ant. “I have told you what I should tell you. No matter whether you believe it or not, this is the truth.”
