Upon facing the unexpected confrontation, Zhao Youming was not the only one who was in a bad mood. Zhao Yifei equally felt as bad.
It was clear that the person who had harmed him stood right in front of him. If only Zhao Yifei had struck Zhao Youming down from the beginning, he would not have had to hold back his anger like now. He felt so aggrieved whenever he thought of this.
The moment Zhao Youming was out of his sight, Zhao Yifei’s expression darkened. He remained in a foul mood until he returned to the underground garage at his house.
Zhao Yifei was still in a fit of rage when his car window was knocked by someone. He wound down the window and did not even bother to give a look at the person outside his car.
“Bumped into Zhao Youming, huh?” When the person standing outside Zhao Yifei’s car noticed his angry look, he instantly made a correct guess.
Zhao Yifei’s face had turned black and did not respond to the person. However, the person had already got his answer. He snorted sarcastically. “You have to hold back your anger. Otherwise, how are you going to fight with them?”
“You sounded as sweet as a song. How do you expect me to hold back my anger? The person who almost caused me to die appeared in front of me and yet, I still have to act as if I knew nothing and that there was nothing to do with him. The feeling was so suffocating and unbearable. I am not as forgiving
as you. I’l certainly settle the account with Zhao Youming and make him pay back the price by multiple folds!”
“Hah! Did I say I had forgiven him? You’re right. It truly felt suffocating when it was clear that the person who appeared before us is our greatest enemy and yet, we still have to act as if there is nothing between us. But, what else can you do if you don’t hold yourself back? Do you still want to lay a hand
against him recklessly over a disagreement like last time?”
The person outside Zhao Yifei’s car was dressed in all black. The light in the underground was very dim and Zhao Yifei could not possibly see her face clearly. Despite this, he could hear the hint of mockery in his words and related his taunting tone to his current facial expression.
The person seemed to have felt Zhao Yifei’s fury, and sneered once again, “What’s the matter? Are you upset? Did I say it wrongly? If you act recklessly whenever you find him displeasing in your sight like last time, you know how you would end up being. Since you are no match for Zhao Youlin in terms of
fighting and inferior to Zhao Youming in terms of scheming, what else can you do apart from waiting patiently for the right opportunity?”
Zhao Yifei’s complexion kept changing. Surprisingly, he kept his cool in the end. The corners of his lips curled upward slightly, and he refuted, “I really have to thank you for helping me out and considering things on my behalf. However, I’m curious about one thing. It’s clear that you are closest to that
bastard. Why do you suddenly switch sides and help me to deal with him? Or, is it because…”
Zhao Yifei did not refer to “bastard as Zhao Youming alone. The person’s eyes, who had been shadowed by his cap, narrowed his eyes and spoke with a hint of anger, “Are you suspecting me?”
“Things like this will normally raise one’s suspicions, right?”
Silence spread throughout the atmosphere between the two. After some time, the person outside the car quietly blurted out, “Regardless of whether you believe in me or suspect me, I am your only reliance now. Unless, you still place your hope on your weak father, who is still unaware that he has already
lost his power in the Zhao family and your mother, who always drags your feet.”
The person’s words had successfully poked Zhao Yifei’s weakest spot. When he remembered his parents who were useless and often dragged his feet, Zhao Yifei’s expression darkened once more.
The person saw each and every of his moves. He smirked and passed the documents, which he had prepared earlier, to Zhao Yifei.
Zhao Yifei was stunned before he received the document. “What is it?”
“Things that Zhao Youming had done from the shadows since he joined Zhao Enterprise.”
Zhao Yifei’s expression changed slightly. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the documents. “How did you get this?”
“Nothing difficult about it. If one doesn’t want others to discover his misdeeds, he shouldn’t have committed them in the first place. Walls have ears. There is always a way to find out what he had done.”
A hint of suspicion flashed in Zhao Yife‘’s eyes. His suspicions about the person in front of him intensified. Meanwhile, the person seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He snorted and leaned closer to the car window. “What’s the matter? Are you suspecting that my documents are fake, or do you
think that I’m fooling you around? How about I also have someone to prepare a list of things that you have done in Zhao Enterprise from the shadows over the years, so that you are more convinced, huh?”
Zhao Yifei’s expression grew increasingly dark. He gritted his teeth and said, “No need. I know myself well. There’s no need to waste effort to check on it.”
The person gave a cold sneer and crossed his arms. He did not say anything. However, there was a tinge of mockery in his eyes, and Zhao Yifei was angry when he noticed it.
He sucked in a deep breath before he raised the documents and took the initiative to ask, “Since this stack of documents contained all his dirty work, does this mean the bastard will be over as long as I expose this stuff?”
“Of course not.”
“Huh?”
“If things were to work as simple as that, there’s no need for us to go through so many troubles.”
Zhao Yifei’s face tuned dark and gave a cold stare at the person outside the car. “In other words, these documents are useless, huh? Then, why did you still give them to me?”
“Of course, it’s for you to take a look at them! Although some of the things are superficial and it’s difficult to use them against Zhao Youming to defeat him completely, it’s only a matter of time for us to dig deeper for things from these stacks of documents. Don’t forget that our main goal is to completely
knock Zhao Youming down so that he can never make a comeback. By all means, we are not going to spare him, giving him a chance to bite us back in the future.”
It was only then that Zhao Yifei’s mood turned better. He looked up at the person outside his car and sneered, “You’ve experienced all this before, huh? Hell hath no fury like a woman’s scorn. Zhao Youming had made a mistake for sparing you in the first place.”
The person, whose eyes had been shadowed by her cap, narrowed her eyes upon hearing Zhao Yifei’s words. “Soon, I’ll let him know that it’s his biggest mistake in his life for not wiping me out from the beginning!”
The smile on Zhao Yifei’s face turned stiff. He unwittingly creased his eyebrows as he stared at the blurred face in the dim light.
He certainly would not opt to cooperate with the person in front of him if he had better choices. This woman was ruthless. Despite the fact that he gained an upper hand by having her as his comrade, he felt his life was always at stake. He wondered when she would bite him back and make him unable to
come back in the future. The feeling was awful.
The person then looked like she remembered something unpleasant. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent and she failed to notice the glimpse of wariness in Zhao Yifei’s eyes. She controlled her emotion before she looked down at Zhao Yifei and said, “By the way, there’s one more thing.”
“What is it?”
