Chapter 930: Ye Ziyi, You Finally Came Clean
“Ziyi, have you ever thought that it’s because there’s something fundamentally wrong that your father gave you this slap out of devastation?”
Leng Zhiyuan’s eyes were clear and bright. She looked at him calmly, as if she had seen through all that’s on his heart. There was no hiding in front of her.
Ye Ziyi was stunned for a moment, which only lasted for a brief second. Soon, he curled his lips and asked with curiosity, “Zhiyuan, whatever do you mean? I don’t understand.”
Leng Zhiyuan nodded, “Alright then. If you don’t understand, I’ll put it more directly. Ziyi, I know you. Fate has been very unfair to you. Your experience with discrimination at a young age has made you more mature than others. You want to be a dominator in this world. You want to be able to make rules and change rules. You want to make all who have wronged you your stepping stone. You want to mess with the world. So, Ziyi, you have embarked on an extreme path of no return.”
Ye Ziyi raised his eyebrows and smiled sincerely. “Go on, Zhiyuan.”
“Okay.” Leng Zhiyuan looked at him calmly, “Ziyi, you are smart, persistent, and resourceful. You quickly formed your own organization all by yourself. You’ve led it quite smoothly until ten years ago when you met Zhou Yao. Zhou Yao is your number one rival in life. He broke your right arm and gave you a fatal blow. After that, you took every opportunity to get back at him.”
“You dealt with your cards with craft and precision. You knew that Zhou Yao was indestructible. He was born of a good family and a real man. For the sake of his country and the people, he can enter bloody battles at any time. He is honorable, wise, and resolute, but not perfect. Zhou Yao’s only weakness, and his most fatal weakness, are Han Hong’s sister — Han Xuan, and me, whom he loves deeply.”
“Two women and a man sounded like something you can stage into a play. So you changed your mind. You no longer want to kill Zhou Yao anymore, because it’s not as fun. You want Zhou Yao’s life to be a living hell. You want him to suffer while struggling in despair.”
“It started from when the military base was under attack, you made him choose between Han Xuan and me. When that didn’t work out, you turned your attention to my father. You personally designed the Binzhou Island incident to drive a wedge between my father and me. But that also didn’t go like you planned. So then, you sent someone to deliver a letter to Han Xuan. You used Zhou Yao’s illness to both Han Xuan and your advantage. Han Xuan manipulated Zhou Yao by making him owe her one. You watched as he and I split. You watched him lose me with such joy!”
Ye Ziyi laughed. After a few seconds of silence, he said, “Zhiyuan, I still don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“Humph,” Leng Zhiyuan took out a piece of white paper from her pocket. On the white paper was the blueprint of a new type of weapon. It was drawn with a pencil. “You drew this, right? The lines on this are the same as the old woman’s painting hanging in the hall downstairs. Ye Si, would you like it if I send it to the forensic institution for analysis?”
Ye Ziyi took a look at the picture. “Ha, haha…” he laughed out loud. When he raised his head to look at Leng Zhiyuan again, his eyes were already glowing with excitement. “So, you found out about Tibet through that painting of the old woman.”
“To err is human. Ye Si, you shouldn’t have tried to put on an air of being cultured and artistic.”
“Zhiyuan, do you know that you’ve really impressed me today?”
“Ye Ziyi, you’re finally coming clean?”
“Come clean about what?”
“That you’re Scorpian!”
Ye Ziyi didn’t answer her directly. He slowly walked to Leng Zhiyuan with his long legs. His eyes were full of admiration for her. “Zhiyuan, I’m in the wrong.”
“Oh? Exactly what did you do wrong?”
“I’ve known you since middle school, way before Zhou Yao. If I had known what a talented woman you are, I would have made you mine a long time ago.”
Leng Zhiyuan gave a cold smile, “Scorpian, have you ever loved anyone?”
“Yes, I have. I loved you. ”
Leng Zhiyuan didn’t believe him. She also didn’t think she needs to get to the bottom of it. She shrugged and said with a smile, “My honor.”
“You don’t believe me?”
“Should I believe you?”
“You have to believe me! Zhiyuan, all your speculations are correct, but there’s one thing missing. I’ve come such a long way to separate you and Zhou Yao not only for the sake of putting Zhou Yao in pain, but it’s also … for you. I want to make you mine.”
Leng Zhiyuan did not speak.
“It’s true that I did not like you back in middle school. I did not like women. All I thought about was how to climb up, how to reach the peak. And what good is having a woman? They’ll only bring trouble. However, you completely changed my mind.”
“All this time, I watched how you and Zhou Yao fought side by side. You are smart and know how to play your cards. Just like that, you barged into my line of sight and caught my attention. You act so fast. By the time I noticed your moves, you had already blocked my escape. I knew that you might be suspecting me, but it only made the game more fun. You approached me, and we constantly put each other under the tests. I was both afraid and looking forward to your performance. As expected, you didn’t disappoint. You found the clue hidden in the painting. You destroyed my nest and years of hard work!”
As he spoke, Ye Ziyi looked to the shallow scar on her neck. He held his hand over her ear and whispered, “I could have killed you, but I was unwilling to do so…”
“Mmm,” Leng Zhiyuan nodded. “Because you showed mercy to me, I came to talk to you today. Now that we’re done talking, Scorpion, come with me.”
“Come? Where to?”
“I’ll hand you over to the authorities, and you’ll receive a fair trial.”
“Ha, haha. Trial?” Ye Ziyi couldn’t stop laughing. This seemed to be the best joke he had ever heard.
“Xie Zi, struggle no more. You’ve lost. Now that this loft is surrounded by my people, you can’t escape. My big brother is on his way. He’s going to submit the old woman’s painting and the weapon drawings to the authorities. Scorpian, you’re done.”
Ye Ziyi’s laughter stopped and looked right into Leng Zhiyuan’s eyes. “Are you sure your big brother can submit those drawings?”
Leng Zhiyuan froze, “What do you mean?”
“Nothing. Your big brother seems to have some sincere feelings towards my silly and innocent sister Xiaotao.”
Leng Zhiyuan’s heart sank. “What did you do to Xiaotao and my big brother?”
“Shh, don’t be so agitated. Zhiyuan, I’m afraid you’re mistaken about one thing. You did come to me. I’ve been waiting for you. And you’re not holding the leasing, I am!”
“You!” Leng Zhiyuan was about to make a move.
Ye Ziyi put a hand on her shoulder and easily dissolved all her strength. He smiled and said, “Zhiyuan, you’re no match for me. Don’t waste your energy. I can’t bear to hit you. I only acknowledge General Zhou when it comes to physical fighting.
“Scorpian, don’t be stubborn. You…”
“Zhiyuan, go to sleep,” Ye Ziyi swung his large hand. Leng Zhiyuan’s eyes went dark and lost consciousness immediately.
