Hearing Zhou Jingren’s chuckle seemed to make her more mad. She struggled to contain her anger as she stared at the man as rage swirled in her eyes. Slowly she eyed the building opposite to Zhou Jingren’s office. Clenching her jaws, Su Mingyu did not hesitate to remove her coat, revealing her tattered suit in the process.
However, before she could approach Zhou Jingren, the latter had already stood from his seat.
“So you wanted to latch on to me so I could push you to the floor? Did you want to create a perfect shot?” He ridiculed. “The photographer standing on the rooftop of the building opposite to my office is about to get caught for trespassing, Miss Su. You really should stop embarrassing yourself like this.”
His words immediately stopped her from moving. “You knew?”
Smirking, Zhou Jingren opened his phone and called Secretary Go, “Take this woman out.”
“You knew all along?”
“I didn’t.” Zhou Jingren uttered. “But I figured it out.” Su Mingyu just stood still in front of his table, a place that could be seen from the building opposite to Zhou Capital. A person who was truly angry, someone whose emotions were already running rampant inside them do not calculate their moves. They don’t look at the time on their watch nor at the other people surrounding them. Su Mingyu was clearly waiting for something.
Of course, this trick would not have worked even if Zhou Jingren didn’t detect it. The windows inside his office were all reinforced tempered glass that looked like a mirror. This would only reflect the light from the outside. If the photographer would try to take some pictures of his office, all he could see was a white image from the window glare. He eyed the woman. “I am giving you the chance to leave. You can leave behind your past and start your life anew. Move on from everything that’s happened. I will forget about the case that you filed against the company. Leave Hong Kong.” Zhou Jingren made a deliberate pause.
“You are young. You shouldn’t have created those news with the aim to ruin the people that you hate. Those news were not true. But don’t worry… As I said… I am willing to let this all go.” He added. “You still have a great future in front of you.”
Su Mingyu only glared at Zhou Jingren as she grabbed the coat on the floor. Without waiting for Secretary Go to arrive, she already walked towards the door. “We are not done here.”
“Oh we are…” Zhou Jingren said. “We are done Miss Su. If you are smart enough then you would know that this would be the last time that you will bother me and my family again.”
Su Mingyu clenched her jaw. She was about to open the door, when Secretary Go walked in with the Security.
“Miss Su, please follow me.” He uttered in a low tone.
“Don’t touch me!” Su Mingyu hissed. “I can walk on my own!” She said while securing the coat on top of her tattered clothes. Her plans might not have succeeded but she was about to release Lily’s news to the media. She laughed inwardly. Soon…. any time soon… that Lily would become the topic of the Internet once again. “I told you not to touch me.”
“I’m sorry Miss Su, but you are not allowed to use that elevator.” Secretary Go gestured for her to use the elevator for the employees. After all, Zhou Jingren insisted that everyone needed to see Su Mingyu arrive and leave the building alive.
“I know!” Su Mingyu immediately turned towards the other elevator.
…….
Not long after Su Mingyu left the building, Zhou Jingren looked at Secretary Go that was standing next to him. “Is it done?” he asked.
In response, Secretary Go looked at his phone, checking a text that he received a few seconds ago. “Yes President. They now have Su Mingyu.”
“Then send everything to the lawyer. Include the part where I specifically said that I am letting her go. That I forgave her and let her leave Hong Kong… alive.” Zhou Jingren said. Did Su Mingyu really think that coming into a tiger’s den was such a wise decision? He immediately wondered if the woman was a fool all along.
Or maybe… Su Mingyu was just like any other people. Her emotions won over her mind. She used her anger to dictate her next moves. Su Mingyu had been too confident that Zhou Jingren would not harm her. She was hoping, or maybe thinking that Zhou Jingren was afraid to become the primary suspect of her disappearance.
She was wrong.
Now that Zhou Jingren already had some recorded conversations and videos about everything that happened, he would not hesitate to make the woman disappear. All he needed to do was show the media that despite Su Mingyu’s actions, he had already forgave her. That he was willing to let everything go.
Then the world would side with Zhou Jingren and his “kind ways”.
“Yes, President. Yuanfeng already has copies of everything including the images of Miss Su arriving and leaving the premises safely.”
“Good.” Zhou Jingren said. Wasting some time with this woman was never part of his plan. Originally, the plan was to attack their base while letting them think that Lily and Zhou Jingren were not in Hong Kong— something that they had planned to make Su Ru and the people helping him lower their guards. It was supposed to be a one night attack, killing everyone in one go.
However, since Su Mingyu came to his doors, Zhou Jingren didn’t waste the opportunity to manipulate the woman’s emotions and record it for evidence. This was done to cover his bases before he committed the crime— the crime of killing the stupid people who dared to delay his appointment to see his own wife after staying away from her for days.
“Send an image of her dead body to her father. Maybe… put a finger in a box and send it to that old man. Then attack them a few minutes after he opens the gift.” That would make the man angry, therefore losing all his cool and control. “Also… as for the person who is now leading the New Inagawa Clan in Japan…the traitor” And the reason why he wanted to have an elaborate plan with Zhou Dae Un. “Send him the image of his sister before you kill him. Before you kill Riku and his men.”
