He kicked the chair near him and let out another curse. "This is Zhou Jingren's fault!" He narrowed his eyes and rose from his seat. "Is he in jail now? Where is he?"
"Boss, Mr. Dongfang was arrested. He woke up after the police stormed inside his hotel room. It was obviously a setup. The media was making different speculations about the matter." The man said.
"F*ck!" Zhou Kang gritted his teeth. "He is a pretty big name! The media won't just let this go. I want you to remove him from our contacts. I don't want to answer anything from him and get dragged into this matter!"
"But boss… what about the documents that you signed with him yesterday?"
His words made Zhou Kang frown. "How's the stocks? Did the news…" he did not continue his words. It was futile. Of course, the stocks would crumble. Their CEO and heir was just accused of murder! This will certainly affect the company.
Zhou Kang let out another strain of curses. Not long after, he started throwing things towards the wall. First, it was the frames on his table, then the vases and finally his laptop. "Ahhhh!" He screamed as fury overtook him. "He planned all this! That man is..." The thought of Zhou Jingren's face sent his blood boiling. How could he suffer loses because of that man?
He could not have plan all this! Lily just died! How could he... unless…"Did you check? Did you check everything? Did Lily really die?"
"Positive. I even saw a copy of the DNA test that confirmed it was her."
"Then why!?" Zhou Kang raked his hands into his head. "HOW THE HELL DID HE HAVE THE TIME TO PLAN ALL THIS? That man is so scheming! he must have planned his wife's death as well!" The thought of losing to Zhuo Jingren never crossed his mind. The fact that he beat him in his own game is just too much for Zhou Kang to handle.
"Maybe… Boss… what if… this was all Lily's plan before she died?"
The man's words made Zhou Kang take a pause. What if this was all Lily's plan? A scheme to destroy him? The thought made him speechless. "I want you to burn the columbarium. The one she was in." He narrowed his eyes. This is nothing like the losses that he will have because of this scandal. Yet, Zhou Kang knew that this is enough to hurt that man.
"Also…" he walked towards his door. "That woman… I am sure… Zhou Jingren sent her to distract me. He knew that she has enough features to seduce me." He said in disgust.
"Are we going to kill her?" the man asked.
"NO! NO… of course not. That would be too easy." He walked out of the room and walked towards his room. A sinister glint swirled in her eyes.
..........................
"That is not possible." Lin Yu Yan shook her head as if her life depended on it.
"Well… even if he did not send you here. I am sure that he did something to make you come here and beg. Let's accept it. He manipulated you to seduce me! Then strike when I was busy… with you." Zhou Kang said as he crossed his legs and took a sip of his whiskey. The previous rage that he felt earlier vanished as his mind continued to plan, scheme against Zhou Jingren. "How pitiful. You liked him wholeheartedly and yet… yet he sent you in the tiger's den as a distraction." He dramatically shook his head.
"That is not true!" Zhou Jingren did not even talk to her. How could he manipulate her? Seeing Zhou Kang was her own choice! It was she who decided to see him instead of Qi Xia. It was her stupidity that brought her in this situation.
"Aw…. Isn't it sweet?" Zhou Kang mocked. "You are here… crying, protecting him. And yet he… I am sure that he is thinking of a woman at this very moment. But we all know that it isn't you, right?"
Lin Yu Yan swallowed. She gave her a wry look. "That is none of your business!"
"Is it not?" He smirked. "You know? I totally understand why Zhou Jingren thought it would very easy to manipulate someone like you." He clicked his tongue. "You are stupid and blind. You loved him too much… even if it is clear that he will never love you in this lifetime."
"That is not true! I…" Lin Yu Yan lowered her head. She shook his head, laughing inwardly at his words. Lily is dead. There is still a chance for her. She just needed to prove herself, her feelings. Then slowly… she could make him forget. They would start over. Start a new life together.
This will not be easy. She was sure that it will also take a lot of time. However… she will wait.
For Zhou Jingren she will wait.
"That is not true. He will learn to love me soon!" she assured herself as she met Zhou Kang's eyes.
"Then… why don't we have a bet?" lifting his eyebrow, he leaned closer towards her.
"What bet?"
ave"I will let you go." Zhou Kang uttered. "I will let you witness what kind of man he is by yourself. If I win… you put this," he showed the flash drive in his hand. "This little thing in his computer at his office. Then you come back to me. Become my mistress and I leave your father alone."
"What kind of flash drive is that?"
"Nothing much. It will destroy some of his files. But that's all. I just want to give him a little trouble. It will damage nothing important, just a bit of revenge for the money that I lost today." He smiled.
"And If I win?" Lin Yu Yan asked.
"If there is a small sign that he will learn to love you soon… then… you can go. Let's forget that this ever happened. I will not touch your family, ever."
Lin Yu Yan frowned. Zhou Kang's phoenix eyes stared back at her. "What do you want me to do?"
"Kiss him." Zhou Kang answered. "It is really easy. If he responds… then it is a win-win for you. If he pushed you, then he might rage and slap you. Say some mean things that will make you cry, but that is it. That should be enough proof that he will not love you." Zhou Kang said. "I mean… this is a pretty easy bet. A smart woman would definitely agree with my terms. After all, win or lose… I will still let go of your father."
Lin Yu Yan knitted her brows.
"So, do we have a deal?" Zhou Kang smiled.
He can smell victory in the air.
