Chapter 158 To Provoke Zhang Xian

As she finished her sentence, Tang Xia could feel that Jiang Yuecheng froze and his hands holding hers were trembling.

Tang Xia was refreshed. “Great! It seems that my words touched him.”

After experiencing betrayal, what could be more moving than “I love you”?

As expected, the result of those three words was immediate.

Jiang Yuecheng stared at her with strong feelings mixed with love and regret instead of apathy or disdain.

He tightened his grasp upon her hand and said in a soft voice that was never before heard by Tang Xia, “Don’t worry, I’ll be good to you. We will have a better life in the future.”

“Sure.” Tang Xia showed a smile to him with a happy face and kept on nodding her head. Then she drew her hands from his grasp quietly.

Jiang Yuecheng’s mother put food into his bowl again and said lovingly, “Son, I’m sure that Zhou Linlin, the dissolute b*tch, will die like a dog! You’ve been through so much. Eat more to recover your health.”

…

On the third day, Tang Xia went out to the detention center early.

When Zhang Xian was taken to the visiting room, he was a little surprised to see Tang Xia.

“Officer! I want to go back!” Zhang Xian asked the prison guard to end this visit before he sat down.

Obviously, he did not want to see Tang Xia.

Tang Xia stood up immediately and said in a loud voice after picking up the phone, “Mr. Zhang, I’m not coming here to make trouble for you. As a man, don’t you want to know whether Zhou Linlin has cheated on you or not?”

On hearing her words, Zhang Xian threw himself at her immediately. Then he picked up the phone and contradicted her loudly. “Linlin would never cheat on me! You cannot set me against her!”

As she saw that Zhang Xian sat down because of her words, Tang Xia knew that the conversation had begun.

“I’ve been through the same experience as you have, so I know you are unwilling to believe what I said, and I totally understand your feelings.”

However, Zhang Xian replied, “As eloquent as you are, I won’t be fooled by you. You don’t need to waste your time on me.”

“Mr. Zhang, you will know whether my words are true or not by investigating the relationship between Zhou Linlin and Jiang Yuecheng when you get out of here. Everyone in their company knows about their affair. It cannot be possible that everybody is lying to you, right?” Knowing that he would not believe her words easily, Tang Xia explained patiently.

But Zhang Xian snorted, “I knew you would say that. Linlin has explained to me that your husband keeps on badgering with her in the company so that she is misunderstood by the whole company. But for her strong mind and appreciation of her work, she would have left that company.”

“It turns out that I underestimated Zhou Linlin. She can come up with this excuse after taking Zhang Xian away rather hastily that day.

“I have to admit that this excuse works. Or Zhang Xian in front of me would not believe her with all his heart!

“No wonder she took Zhang Xian to surrender himself to justice obediently after one call from the police. It turns out that she has ‘explained’ all that to him.”

“Do you mean that it is Jiang Yuecheng who has been badgering Zhou Linlin and Zhou Linlin is the victim?” Tang Xia asked with a look of ridicule on her face.

“What a white lotus! I’m impressed that she can disguise herself to this extent!”

“What I said is the truth! She, as a career woman, is quite laborious. You should mind your own husband so that he won’t bother others! Or I will give him a good beating every time I see him when I’m out of here.” Zhang Xian talked tough even though he was in the detention center.

Obviously, Zhang Xian was so blind for love that he could not recognize Zhou Linlin’s true colors. But Tang Xia kind of liked him.

As a man, he could protect his woman like that. He could be regarded as a real man.

“Zhang Xian, I’m impressed by your sense of responsibility. So I will not let Zhou Linlin use you anymore. What she told you is not true. I witnessed with my eyes that she and Jiang Yuecheng intimately accompanied each other in front of me.”

Zhang Xian remained unmoved and replied, “Mrs. Jiang, I know you have a deep misunderstanding of Linlin because of your husband. But it is not a good way to save your own marriage by ruining other’s relationships.”

Tang Xia did not know whether she should laugh or cry by his words. “Do I look like I’m a failure in marriage?

“Come on! I’m doing all this to complete my task!”

“Since you don’t believe what I said, I’ll speak with facts.” Tang Xia gave a heavy sigh and took her cell phone out of the bag. Then she opened the album and slid the screen to show him the photos one by one.

Those photos of Zhou Linlin and Jiang Yuecheng were all shot by Tang Xia on purpose.

They were hugging each other intimately in every photo while Zhou Linlin wore a sweet and soulful smile without a hint of displeasure on her face that would show she had been forced.

When seeing those photos, Zhang Xian was so shocked that he could not shut his mouth. Then his eyes filled with grief gradually became dim.

“Mr. Zhang, now tell me who the hell is ruining another’s relationship and who is lying?” Tang Xia put down her phone slowly and spoke in a steady tone.

She knew that those photos would hurt him so much, but she had to make him face the truth.

It took Zhang Xian a long time to come to his senses from his astonishment, but he shook his head persistently. “No, I don’t believe you. As photoshopping techniques are so advanced, how can I ensure that these photos have not been digitally altered?”

Tang Xia was a little startled by his persistence. Luckily, she was well prepared.

“OK, since you still don’t believe me, I’ll show you the proof.” Tang Xia put her cellphone into the bag and took out another cellphone.

This cellphone belonged to Jiang Yuecheng.

Jiang Yuecheng took some days off at home due to being injured. Furthermore, being betrayed had been devastating to him. So he stayed at home for three days on end.

He was not aware that Tang Xia had taken his cellphone at all.

Looking at the man’s cellphone in Tang Xia’s hand, Zhang Xian had a restless face as if he had perceived something.

When Tang Xia unlocked the cellphone and showed him the chat records between Jiang Yuecheng and Zhou Linlin, Zhang Xian could not stay calm anymore.

That flirting on WeChat could only happen between people who had an intimate relationship with each other.

“Mr. Zhang, photos can be digitally altered, but look at the WeChat account, which cannot be falsified. Every word of the chat records was typed by Zhou Linlin, and every sentence, she said herself.”

Being afraid that he would not believe her, Tang Xia tapped Zhou Linlin’s avatar to show him her WeChat account.

“Stop talking, please. She… she really cheated on me.” Zhang Xian closed his eyes as he could not accept such a cruel fact and spoke in a painful voice.

Noticing that he believed what she said, Tang Xia put the cellphone in her bag and said softly, “Mr. Zhang, I understand that you are rather sad now. But it is not worthwhile to feel this way over a woman like her. She has regarded you guys as tools of hers from A to Z.”

“Tools…” Zhang Xian repeated her words with a weary face while his voice turned into a forced smile.

“Zhou Linlin chose to hook up with Jiang Yuecheng because he could help her in her career. But Jiang Yuecheng was dismissed from his post recently, which made her break up with him.

“What she did to Jiang Yuecheng can be done to you in the future. If I were you, I would not give her the opportunity. What’s more, I would make her ‘enjoy’ the taste of treachery,” Tang Xia said in a rather enchanting tone.

After a flash of light flickered in Zhang Xian’s dull eyes, he looked directly at Tang Xia. “Do you mean… get revenge on Zhou Linlin? Do you have any idea how?”

Tang Xia flashed a smile at him. “Of course, but you need to work in cooperation with me.”

“Cooperation?” Zhang Xian kept his eyes open out of astonishment. Then he said as if he thought of something, “I suppose Zhou Linlin is not the only person you want to deal with, right?”

Tang Xia still smiled at him without any response.

As he noticed that she was not willing to answer his question, Zhang Xian did not make a detailed inquiry. “OK, what do you need me to do?”

Although Tang Xia was not surprised, a flash of light flickered in her eyes. Then she said, “You are supposed to leave the detention center tomorrow. I hope you can help me to take one thing from Zhou Linlin.”

“Take one thing? What should I do after that?” Zhang Xian asked.

“You just need to give me that thing. I’ll see to the rest.” Tang Xia gave him a reassuring glance. “Don’t worry, I promise that I’ll offer you a satisfactory result.”

After a flash of light flickered in his eyes, Zhang Xian finally agreed. “OK, I’ll get you what you want.”

At noon on the following day, Tang Xia found a place close to the detention center to have tea.

The detention center was just in sight while she sat by the window on the second floor in the tea cafe, which was not far away from the detention center.

Before she could finish a glass of juice, Tang Xia saw that Zhang Xian had left the detention center.

After he waited for a long time in the sun, Zhou Linlin arrived by taxi. Then she rushed over to Zhang Xian, and kissed and hugged him.

They hugged each other for a while intimately before they left by taxi.

As Tang Xia saw that taxi go away and become smaller and smaller, she murmured happily, “Zhou Linlin, it seems that you will be conquered by me soon. It is about time to complete this task.”

Then she asked the waiter to refill the juice glass for her. After a while, her cellphone in the bag rang.

She picked up the phone quickly. “Hello?”

Zhang Xian’s voice came from the phone. “It’s me.”

Tang Xia got straight to the point. “Have you got what I want from her?”

Zhang Xian replied quickly, “I’ve got what you need, I hope you can keep your promise.”

“Sure, don’t worry.” Tang Xia promised him.

“OK, meet me at the Shijiazhuang Bridge.”

“Okay. I’ll go there right away.” Tang Xia hung up the phone immediately and walked out of the tea cafe.
