Chapter 30 - Disgrace(2)

Huizhong sat in the garden with his friend, a glass of whiskey in his right hand. He was hoping to get drunk, with today's revelations. "I don't want to hear it."

His friend, Mr. Ke looked at him with pity. "There must be a mistake. Haifeng is not like that."

"I thought so too." He would lick his wounds today. Just today. Tomorrow, he would be strong.

"Haifeng was the most beautiful girl back in the old days. I was so happy for you, who knew....." Mr. Ke sighed.

"....that she was a woman who seduced men with her beauty, right?" Huizhong grimaced.

"I always thought that she was too close with that man, Lu Haitian. Even Mingze was a little bit suspicious of their relationship." Mr. Ke was indignant.

"Women are always like that, covering for each other's crimes."

Mr. Ke smiled slightly. He didn't mind sacrificing Mingze for this mission. "Yes, she confessed that she knew all along that something was fishy between them but she couldn't betray her friend. Recently she said that Haifeng was making secret calls."

"Secret calls?" Huizhong's eyes became deadly.

"Yeah, she couldn't hear much but they looked like they were discussing business." Mr. Ke said.

Huizhong froze, his hand gripping the glass tightly. "THAT BITCH!"

"You need to do something. We can't let her get away with something like this." Mr. Ke advised.

"Don't worry. I know what to do." Huizhong cracked the glass.

Ke Mingze had just finished putting on makeup the next day when she got a phone call. "Speak."

A young girl's tearful voice rang out. "Auntie! Please save my mother!"

"Chunying?" Her eyebrow rose.

"My mother....my mother is in danger! Please come over and help her!"

"I will be there soon. Hang on." She hung up. She suddenly felt happy.

The plan worked.

Huizhong must have finally made his move. Although he was kind and gentle in front of his family, the whole world knew he was a cunning and ruthless man who had made it to the top with the blood and tears of his enemies.

"Haifeng.....today you will meet your end!" She sneered.

When she entered the car, she told the driver. "Let's first go to the salon, there is no need to rush." She must look her best for Huizhong.

"Yes, ma'am."

Thirty minutes later, she stepped into the Tang mansion. As she entered into the room, sounds of anguish and pain reverberated across the room making the servants tremble and hide. She saw her husband smiling slyly as the Tang family guards surrounded the vicinity.

Chunhua and Chunying were on the floor,crying and begging beside their mother whose appearance looked haggard.

"Father, please don't do this!" They cried.

"SHUT UP!". His face was dark with rage but his hand that carried a belt was held by Chunlan who was using all her strength to stop her father.

"Husband....Huizhong, I didn't cheat on you. I am innocent!" Haifeng said weakly.

Her eyes brightened when she saw her friend approaching. "Ask Mingze! She was the one that brought me the letter...Mingze, tell them. Tell them I am innocent!"

Mingze seemed very confused. "Which letter? I didn't bring you any letter. Haifeng, what is happening here?"

The whole room became silent.

Haifeng was flabbergasted. "But you brought the letter! You told me that Lu Haitian was in danger nine months ago!"

Mingze faced Huizhong and said with anxiety and concern. "There must be a misunderstanding somewhere.. Lu Haitian is in Canada with his family, healthy and safe. Haifeng, what have you done this time?"
