After much of the scandal of the second Madam of the Zhao family came to light, the news of the second Madam of the Zhao Yang family hiring people desperate to harm her stepdaughter quickly made headlines from every report. This pushed the Zhao family into a difficult position once again.
Thanks to Li Hongyu, the things about Zhao Youxi earlier had gradually been suppressed and forgotten under the influence of her hiring others to harm someone.
Just being the protagonist of the scandal, Zhao Youxi did not think that it was a happy thing.
Zhao Youxi's actions were quick. He said that he was going to meet Li Hongyu, and he went straight to the police station the next day.
After learning about Zhao Youlin's intentions, the people at the police station did not make things difficult for Zhao Youlin. After all, Zhao Youlin was the victim of this incident. It was understandable for him to visit people who wanted to hurt him.
Zhao Youlin was taken to a nearby room. After a while, the police officer who had detained Li Hongyu brought him in.
In just one day, Li Hongyu seemed to have become ten years older. Her face was covered with heavy make-up, and she stopped smiling. He looks so embarrassed.
When Li Hongyu saw Zhao Youlin, her face instantly turned for the worse. He glanced at the two or three police officers still standing in the room. Then, he forced himself to sit on the opposite side of Zhao Youlin. He asked coldly, "Why are you here? Are you here to laugh at me?”
Seeing li Hongyu's guarded look, Zhao Youlin smiled. He locked his fingers together and propped his head up on the table. Then, he said lazily, "I can't help it if you want to think so.”
"You!”
"What's? You want to hit me? Well, the things you do have proven conclusive, anyway. Now, you just lack faith. There is no meaning in having more than one charge, and it would be best if I could die with you. It's a lot, isn't it?" Zhao Youlin glanced at the police officer in the room as if she was talking about something. Then, he smiled ironically and said, "Do you think that you can really kill me in front of so many people?”
Li Hongyu's face was slightly pale. His eyes looked at Zhao Youlin viciously, and the hatred in his eyes gave off an indescribable frightening feeling.
"Well, you don't like me, and I don't like you either. Let's hurry up and get into the subject. Li Hongyu, why did you hire people to kill me so desperately?”
Zhao Youlin's overly straightforward question made Li Hongyu inexorably stunned. His eyes began to notice the arrow.
"Do I still need a reason to ask people to hurt you? No matter when it is, your existence is a threat to me. I'm sorry now that I didn't see through your disguise when you were in the Zhao family back then. If I had known that you were such a person at that time, I would have .. would..."
"You're gonna have what? You'd think to kill me, like how did you kill my mother back then?”
"W-What?" Li Hongyu's expression instantly changed. He could not help but lower his head, and he said in horror, "A - What are you talking about? I don't understand at all.”
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You just need to know that the person you hire has acknowledged everything. Not just the events of this time, but all the things you asked them to do years ago. They acknowledge everything without leaving a single detail.”
The last bit of blood on Li Hongyu's face faded away. His hand grabbed his pants tightly, and his body began to tremble.
Li Hongyu pursed her lips and did not reply.
Zhao Youlin sighed. Then, he sneered and said, "Well, how can someone who is blinded by the glory and wealth in front of them see this? All right, we'll talk about it later. Let's continue the topic now. Why do you want to hire people to hurt me? Or should I say, why did you choose to hire those people to hurt me this time?”
"I just answered this question. Your existence is a threat to me.”
"In that case, why don't you dare to raise your head and look me in the eye while answering this question?" Zhao Youlin leaned forward abruptly and approached Li Hongyu. His actions frightened the police officers nearby, making them unwillingly take a step forward. This was because they were afraid that a dispute would ensue between the two, especially Li Hongyu.
However, Li Hongyu, who was considered by the police officer to be very likely to take advantage to hit Zhao Youlin at the moment, seemed to have received a huge shock, and she reflexively leaned back.
Zhao Youlin's deep eyes looked at Li Hongyu's eyes up close. Then, he smiled. "Just like what you said, you're sorry that you didn't have the foresight to kill me before then, so you've got to continue tolerating me now. Why did you, someone who was able to bear it when I joined the Zhao Enterprise as General Manager, choose to kill me this time? The only explanation is that I've done something that made you very irresistible recently, and it has created a sense of crisis that scares you even more than I joined Zhao Enterprise.”
Li Hongyu's face was filled with horror. He pursed his lips, and his eyes widened without saying a word.
However, Zhao Youlin did not plan to let him leave just like that. "Let me guess. Tskc. Tskc. Tskc. Am I a threat to you or Zhao Youxi?”
"Zhao Youline!" When Li Hongyu heard Zhao Youlin mention Zhao Youxi, she finally couldn't bear it and shouted.
After shouting, he remembered where he was now, so he hurriedly closed his mouth. Then, he glanced at the police officer beside him with lingering fear. He was a little relieved when he made sure that they did not reveal anything unusual.
The corner of Zhao Youlin's lips curled up. He pulled himself up and sat back in his chair. "I guessed it right. Zhao Shuncheng did tell you about it when he came back. You think that I have Zhao Youxi's weakness in my hands, and I am like a time bomb that will explode at any moment. So, you want to hire those people to destroy me and destroy that thing at the same time to avoid any problems in the future. Miss Li, is my guess correct?”
Li Hongyu's face was grim. He did not acknowledge or refute Zhao Youlin's question.
"If this is the case, I should probably tell you the good news and the bad news." Zhao Youlin looked at Li Hongyu with a faint smile, making Li Hongyu instinctively feel a little cold on her back.
"What's the good news and the bad news?”
"The good news is, as you would like, even though those people didn't kill me, the phone with the footage was destroyed because my car had a car accident when they chased me, so the recording inside has disappeared.”
Li Hongyu's expression showed that she was happy. Unfortunately, before the corner of his mouth actually curled up, he heard Zhao Youlin add.
"The bad news is that I've supported the tape for a long time. It's not just my phone that has it.”
The room was silent.
