Chapter 279 Truth unfold(2)

Dead silence ensued in the quiet study room as Lei Zhao's eyes bored into Mrs. Leng's. Her nerves tingled as his intense gaze made her wonder what he wanted to talk about with her.

Fidgeting, she felt like her heartbeat was in her head. Suddenly Lei Zhao's lips curved into an arc when he saw how stiff and uncomfortable the woman was.

"Sorry for calling you to discuss some private matters but I have been investigating what happened to my wife five years ago and I found some interesting information. I was hoping you could help me figure something out. "

Mrs. Leng squinted her eyes at Lei Zhao.

"My help?"

"Yes, since you knew my wife back then there is no better person to ask for help.

Lei Zhao responded in a carefree tone but if one listened closely you could hear the sarcasm in his voice.

Even though his lips were curved into a smile like arc, his eyes gave no room for arguments.

Either she helped him answer his questions freely or he would use force.

Something flickered in her eyes as her heart skipped a beat. At the back of her mind, voices whispered to her to be be careful of her words. The man in front of her cannot be underestimated.

"If I can help you with your investigations I will gladly cooperate. After all, little Mei is like a daughter to me." She said with a small smile on her face.

Lei Zhao eyes glint with a sardonic smile as he leaned in his chair. He entered a series of words on his laptop as he gently pushed it to Mrs. Leng.

"Please here."

Doubt flashed in Mrs.Leng's eyes.

'Why was he giving her this?'

Mrs. Leng swallowed as she saw the familiar faces in the video. She sat in a daze as a series of other videos followed.

She started hyperventilating as frenzied thoughts assaulted her mind. Droplets of perspiration appeared on her forehead as her eyes widened in horror as they flickered from side to side as they searched for an escaped route.

Never did she think her sins would be presented to her like this one day. Lei Zhao watched in amusement as he saw the expressions of shock and fear flash across Mrs. Leng.

"How-where-who-what"

She muttered incoherent words as her heart started pounding rapidly. She stood up clearly agitated.

"What is the meaning of this?!" She bellowed, abruptly closing the laptop.

"I should be the one asking you that question." Lei Zhao said calmly with his face blank. He stood up from his chair and strolled lazily towards Mrs Leng.

Mrs. Leng stared at him, her cheeks bright red with humiliation.

Her eyes met Lei Zhao's eyes as her expression grew more horrified. She could feel pure hatred flowing from the man as he glared at her.

"She trusted you, treated you like her mother but you…..deceitful….traitorous—

Mrs. Leng shook her head slowly. A gesture of how ashamed she was. A single tear escaped her eyes as she looked away.

"Please let me explain!" She begged.

"What do you want to explain? That you manipulated her sick friend into posing like her so that Wang Lu will think she was cheating on him? That you hired someone to create a hyper-realistic mask with Yan Mei and your son's face so that Fu Xin—Yan Mei's best friend and her boyfriend can carry on the act?

You know how much Fu Xin loved Yan Mei like a sister so you brainwashed her into thinking Wang Lu didn't love her and was using her friend so Yan Mei was better off with your son! Fu Xin being sick and knowing she was dying agreed because she thought her friend was better off with the gentle and kind Leng Shao once she is no more. Such a perfect plan!

Lei Zhao chuckled humorlessly. "You knew Wang Lu's mother used to bully Yan Mei and didn't want her son with Yan Mei so she will be the first suspect but you along was the master planner! But my question is why though? Is it because you wanted your son to have the woman he loves or because of something else?"

Mrs. Leng covered her face with her hand and began to cry.

"You will never understand. We did it for her! She was never happy in that marriage. She was young and naive so she thought she was in love but at times, love is not enough to make a marriage work.

Her mother-in-law hated her guts! That bitch would bully my little Mei any chance she got. Why should she be with a man who can't even protect her from his poor excuse of a mother!

That man was obsessed with her, there is no way he would let her go. So we planned this. She was too young to waste her youth away. She deserved someone better! She deserved my son who loved her more than his life!

Sometimes you have to make the hardest choices to protect the people close to you and this was one of those moments.

Even though Fu Xin knew that her best friend would hate her forever after knowing the truth, she still went along with the plan because she knew at least her best friend will be well loved and cared for when she is not there by me and my son!"

Lei Zhao gritted his teeth as his blood began to boil.

"You have a lot of nerve, hailing yourself like you did her a favor. But you know what?"

Lei Zhao let out a small laugh, "You had no right to decide for her. You should have talked to her ask for her consent first because it involved her! You people not only destroyed her marriage that day. You killled her baby too. You created a broken woman locked with pain and sadness."

Mrs. Leng stiffened when she heard Lei Zhao. "W-what—-"

Suddenly a sob sounded in the room. Lei Zhao stiffened since he knew that sound too well. He lifted his eyes and he met a pair swimming with horror and shock.

Lei Zhao felt his heart crushing as she stared at him, tears welling in her eyes.

Yan Mei…..
