Chapter 526 Bursting bubble of misunderstanding

"Shen Yang."

Wei's bloodthirsty gaze stared ahead. "I want to play the same game with Jiang Zhen."

He tilted his head. His black irises looked menacing and sly. "It was my loss because of him. It will be Jiang Zhen's loss because of him too."

Jiang Weizhe raised his brow.

"Two can play this game."

He slowly nodded. If that was Wei's strategy, then he must have definitely thought about it.

"Did you hear anything about Fu Renshu?"

"He is there where I want him to be. I know you have sent uncle Fu Shen to the same place."

He narrowed his eyes.

"Or maybe somewhere else but with the same goal."

He said nothing.

Wei squinted his eyes. "The only issue is…Ruiling. She still isn't found out."

"I know where she is."

Wei glanced at him. "Since when?"

"Since today."

He stared at his father. "Is she at a safe place?"

"Yes. It is the safest place away from Jiang Zhen's reach."

"I see. Can I meet her?"

"I don't know."

"I want to meet her."

"Why? It's better that she is away from this."

Wei's cold voice turned the temperature a notch down. "It's better if she is involved in all this. She needs to know about Shen Yang more than anyone. Also, I want to meet her for another reason."

"Which reason?"

A flash of evil passed in his eyes. "I want to use her against Shen Yang."

Somewhere in Beijing.

It had been a few days since Jiang Ruiling was brought to live in the Cheng residence. She had requested Mrs. Zhang a number of times to let her meet her family. But she was against it as it wasn't the right time. They wanted to keep her away from Jiang Zhen until the mess was sorted out.

"I am sorry, dear. It's really dangerous for you. Your family is already suffering. I know you want to be there with them, but I think your parents would want you to be safe."

"But they don't even know I am here. They must be worried sick about me."

"Well if it's about that, then you don't need to worry at all. Jiang Weiyuan and Jiang Ninghong already know that you are safe with us."

She widened her eyes. "What? They know? How?"

"Xinyue told them."

She blinked her eyes. "He went to the Jiang villa?"

"No," she coughed. "We have our ways."

She was curious, but she realized that Mrs. Zhang didn't want to tell her for now, so she left it at that.

"It's late. Go to sleep," she patted her head.

Jiang Ruiling strolled through the corridor and passed by Cheng Xinyue's room. She heard some soft voices coming from his room.

She frowned.

Is he talking to someone?

She stepped near the door and put her ear on it when it suddenly opened. She stumbled but was quickly caught by her arm.

She glanced up and saw Cheng Xinyue staring at her with a squinted gaze. "What were you doing?"

Her expression darkened. She saw him holding her elbow. "Don't touch me!"

He raised his brow and let it go. She gasped and fell on her butt. "Hey!"

He leaned against his door and lazily said, "You told to let you go. You gonna complain in that too?"

She gritted her teeth. "You didn't have to push me!"

"I didn't. You were in a position you would fall if I didn't hold you. Blame yourself."

She quickly stood on her feet and coldly retorted, "You are cruel towards women too."

"I am cruel towards anybody stupid in general."

Her mouth twitched. Her gaze fell on his room, but nobody was inside.

She narrowed her eyes. "Are you a hiding a woman in there?"

"Excuse me?"

"I heard voices coming from here."

"And you thought trying to listen in was a moral thing you did?"

"As if I am interested in that sort of thing!"

First of all, how did he even know I was here? I was so quiet.

"You weren't really so quiet," he smiled, reading her mind. "Who do you think you are standing in front of? I am a spy. If I couldn't even detect you, then shame on me. As for hiding a woman…" he sneered. "You think I have free time like you had in those days when you secretly met up with that bastard Shen Yang?"

She stiffened.

"I have better things to do."

"Also."

He took a step in front of her and tilted his head. "I am a spy. I hide myself from the world all the time. But if I have a woman, I will just declare her as mine in front of all."

He laughed. "Not like your dear fiance who didn't have the guts to express his so-called 'feelings' for you and make you fight for your relationship instead of taking a stand."

"You…Don't speak as if you know-"

"I know. Wasn't I also a guard in your house for six months? I saw everything including your pathetic secret makeout events with him," he smirked. "Shen Yang must be so thrilled, right? He was there just for his mission to betray you all, but for free, he got the young mistress's affections. Then he thought, 'Well if I am getting her passionate love anyway, then why not kill some time with her?' Do you realize that you were just a source of killing time for him?"

"Will you stop already!? Why do I even bother talking to you? You only spew nonsense!"

Jiang Ruiling stormed away, unable to bear his face even a second longer.

Cheng Xinyue was in deep thought.

Guess I should just dump her where Shen Yang is and let her see it for herself. Some idiots cannot believe anything until they watch their world crumble in front of their eyes.

"Stupid, idiot bastard! Coward! Stupid!" She cursed him endlessly. "He should keep his mouth shut- Ah!"

She bumped hard into someone and saw that it was Cheng Mei.

She froze.

"Uh..um..that…I…I am…" she stammered. Talking to Cheng Mei was the only biggest hurdle for her.

"I am sorry…"

Cheng Mei stared at her in silence. Then she turned to walk away.

"W-wait! Can I talk to you?"
