Chapter 503 Another Conspiracy
Xia Ning lifted the black bag and opened it to take a look. And then she sneered at Yuriko Shizuka and shook out what was inside.
“I’m impressed by someone’s tricks. But I have to say one sentence. Don’t play with such dangerous things, girl.”
What the black bag contained were numerous mini bombs.
If these bombs were all set off, the damage they caused would be catastrophic!
Yuriko Shizuka, she did have the guts!
Yuriko Shizuka’s eyes fixed on the bombs and her smile stifled. But she maintained her expression and said, “Just some toys. Sister Xia, chill out.”
“Toys?” Xia Ning picked up one of the bombs, “Would you like to try it yourself?”
“… Sister Xia, you seem to be under good protection. Is it arranged by Mr. Yi?” Yuriko Shizuka squinted, making herself look like a fox.
“Yes.”
“If I were his wife, I would never be his burden. I would take care of him instead. Sister Xia, you should work hard for your husband as a wife. You would not qualify as a wife if you were in Japan.”
She was young but had a sharp tongue. Xia Ning raised her eyebrow and said, “Whether I’m qualified or not is not for you to judge. Even if I weren’t qualified, I would still be Rui’s wife. But you, Miss Yuriko, if you are as good as you just claimed, why are you still single? Is it because I took your husband?”
Yuriko Shizuka heard what she said and a blood lust quickly appeared in her eyes. Her smile turned cold.
“This country is known for its etiquette. But today, I have finally learned how you people treat others with courtesy.” Yuriko Shizuka snorted and left.
“Hang on!” Xia Ning called her out, “Take your toys with you!”
Yuriko Shizuka raised her eyebrow. She turned to pick up her black bag. And then she walked up to her bodyguards, who were covering their hands in great pain but didn’t dare to leave. She said coldly, “You are embarrassing me.”
Seeing Yuriko Shizuka and her gang leave the chief editor’s office, Jing Shu snorted, “Sister Xia, who did she think she was? She was just bluffing.”
Xia Ning pursed her lips. After a while, she said, “No. I think she has got something. She was not bluffing.”
The VIP ward, XX People’s Hospital.
“It’s all your fault. If it were not because of you, my face would not be like this! Huo Zhanpeng, you b*st*rd, I’ll make you pay for it!”
He Yuan’s head was covered with bandages and only her eyes were visible on her face. Her face was wounded. The coverings were also stained with blood. It was such a cruel picture to look at.
Huo Zhanpeng stood in front of her bed and frowned. He did feel pity for He Yuan’s injury. But the smell of alcohol and solution made him want to leave the room as soon as possible.
He received a mysterious phone call when he sobered up. It said that He Yuan was in an alley. When he arrived there, He Yuan was lying on the ground. She seemed to be lying there for a couple of hours.
He helped He Yuan up and saw her wounds on the face. He would never forget what he had seen.
There were multiple knife cuts and fingernail scratches. Some were polluted by the sewage and smelled disgusting and bloody. It was the ugliest and most disgusting scene he had ever seen!
He even wondered whether she could fully recover!
He was drinking that night to kill his pain. He and He Yuan had an appointment at ten, but she never came. He was in a bad mood already when a waitress came in. She seduced him the moment she saw him and successfully aroused him…
“You’re gonna pay for it! Huo Zhanpeng, you’ll pay for it!”
He Yuan was screaming and cursing. Huo Zhanpeng felt deeply guilty initially but he was irked in the end, “It was because of your being late! If you had come earlier, none of this would have happened! You should complain to yourself!”
How could such a kind woman become so shrewish… Hang on. He knew quite a lot of shrews but none of them had such a dramatic shift in attitudes.
He Yuan did not expect Huo Zhanpeng would yell at her. She froze for a few seconds and then turned more hysterical, “You are a b*st*rd. You said that you would love me for your whole life! Why did you bang those women? It was because of that woman that I become now I am…Huo Zhanpeng, if my face can’t be healed, I will have both of you pay for it…”
Huo Zhanpeng scratched his head, feeling annoyed. He wanted to smash everything in this room.
To be honest, it was all He Yuan’s own fault that her face was ruined!
Suddenly, Huo Zhanpeng squinted. It came to him that he could find himself a “scapegoat” for this matter!
“Okay, shut up! Or I’ll throw you out!” The woman was still nagging. Huo Zhanpeng shouted loudly to shut He Yuan’s mouth.
Huo Zhanpeng approached to stare at He Yuan’s face wounds. Something dangerous was hidden in his eyes.
For no reason, He Yuan felt afraid of Huo Zhanpeng now. She retreated, “Zhanpeng, what’s wrong with you?”
“He Yuan, I just came up with an idea. You’ll be carefree for the rest of your life whether your wounds are healed or not. But if you don’t do as I say, I’ll leave you at the hospital and you’ll never see me again.”
Hearing what he said, He Yuan was worried. Her tone changed, “Mr. Huo, rest assured. I’ll do as you say.”
She won Huo Zhanpeng’s heart with a lot of effort and tricks. But there was something sneaky in this man that would drag anyone close to him into trouble. Her appearance could no longer keep Huo Zhanpeng by her side. So, she had better be obedient and wait for Huo Zhanpeng’s arrangement rather than demanding.
Huo Zhanpeng looked at the woman he loved for a while with disdain.
Now he knew that this woman had always been acting!
Holy cr*p, he was so stupid that he risked the whole Tianyu Entertainment Company for this woman!
Junhao International Groupwas an international magnate. Even if Tianyu was rich in C City, it would still be no match for Junhao. He finally realized how stupid he was!
But he was already at the point of no return. Even if he admitted his mistake, there would be no guarantee that Xia Ning would let him go. He had better struggle once more instead of waiting passively for his destiny.
Thinking of this, Huo Zhanpeng stared at He Yuan coldly. He said slowly, “Remember, woman. You must do whatever I say. If you say anything wrong or disobey any of my orders, He Yuan will be dead by tomorrow!”
He Yuan gasped secretly. She now saw clearly the intention inside Huo Zhanpeng’s eyes. She knew that the past Huo Zhanpeng was back. And this time, he was not the same guy she could manipulate.
A coffee shop on Jazz Island.
In the French coffee shop, Yuriko Shizuka was served with a cup of blue mountain coffee. She looked calm but kept looking outside the window, searching for the person she wanted badly.
They had an appointment at three o’clock. Now it was five to three. But he hadn’t yet arrived.
Yuriko Shizuka was anxious. He said yes to her invitation that he definitely would come… But now it was only five minutes until three. Why couldn’t she find him?
When Yuriko Shizuka started fidgeting, the door of the coffee shop was opened. And then she heard gasps in the whole shop.
Seeing the posh figure coming from the outside, Yuriko Shizuka felt her heart racing, leaving her with a lump in her throat.
This man had grown more mature, charming, and captivating than he was a year ago.
This poshness and this aroma made him a born king wherever he went.
All eyes were fixed on Yi Yunrui in the coffee shop. Yi Yunrui walked towards Yuriko Shizuka with his cold-looking face and took his seat.
“Hello, Miss Yuriko.”
Yuriko Shizuka felt her heart missing a beat and her cheeks turning pink.
The eyes on Yi Yunrui turned to her and became envious.
Her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her dress, Yuriko Shizuka felt both happy and sad. This man was not hers.
But she believed that he would be hers soon.
“Hello, Mr. Yi.” With her tenderest voice, Yuriko Shizuka answered softly. And then she said as if it just came to her, “By the way, I heard that you liked cappuccino, right, Mr. Yi? They have nice coffee here…”
“Miss Yuriko.” Yi Yunrui interrupted her coldly, “I’m wondering the reason why you want to see me.”
Feeling a bit frustrated, Yuriko Shizuka sipped her coffee. It was already cold. All she tasted was the bitterness.
“Mr. Yi… Are you in a hurry?”
“Not for the moment.”
Yuriko Shizuka sighed slightly, “I haven’t seen you for a year. If you’re not busy, am I honored to have a quick chat with you?”
Yi Yunrui looked at her for a while, “Miss Yuriko, are you coming to China for business this time?”
Yuriko Shizuka’s hand shook when looking back at Yi Yunrui and her coffee nearly spilt, “Yes. But I mainly want to see you.”
Yi Yunrui raised his eyebrow. He did not say anything.
The waiter came with some lemon juice. He brought a menu with him and asked politely, “Can I take your order, sir?”
Yi Yunrui shook his head, “Not…”
“One cappuccino, please.” Before Yi Yunrui finished, Yuriko Shizuka said, “The same for me.”
“Okay. Your order will be ready in a short time.”
The waiter left. Yi Yunrui pursed his lips with no expression on his face.
“Mr. Yi, before seeing you today, I’ve already met Xia Ning in the Media building.”
Lifting his eyes, Yi Yunrui said, “Why did you go to the media building?”
He said this short sentence in a cold tone of interrogation, making Yuriko Shizuka annoyed.
