Chapter 109: The Impending Finale for Zhang Ziqin

“Do what you want to do. I don’t care about others; I will always support you.” Gazing tenderly at Lu Li, Cao Yingying’s voice was like a spring breeze gliding over a calm lake, stirring gentle ripples.

Lu Li’s heart fluttered. He adored this feeling of being favored, though his gaze still held a hint of suspicion. “When you say ‘others’... are you referring to You Meng?” While the sentiment was touching, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that there was a catch.

“Um...” Knowing was one thing, but voicing it out loud?

Cao Yingying was uniformly kind to everyone, but she harbored significant hostility toward You Meng, the little maid who alternated between black and white stockings. She couldn’t stand such shamelessness and even suspected the woman would gladly clean without wearing anything at all. Too risky!

“Ha-ha-ha, no need to worry. You Meng is my top general. Right now, she’s in charge of capturing Zhang Ziqin!” Lu Li laughed heartily.

The sight of Cao Yingying, a woman as pristine as a high-mountaintop snow lotus, showing such jealousy was truly... blissful! A full sense of male achievement.

Cao Yingying sighed helplessly: “You really are... making full use of everything, aren’t you?”

“Don’t accuse me. It was You Meng’s own wish, and I’ve rewarded her for it,” Lu Li waved his hands in defense.

Cao Yingying said no more, her gaze remaining tenderly on the man before her, her man, who was indeed gentle. His treatment of Zhang Ziqin showed immense malice in this life, but wasn’t that also a form of tenderness for her?

If Lu Li did nothing, Zhang Ziqin, now without any support, faced a bleak future, Cao Yingying knew well. The numerous enemies Zhang Ziqin had made over the years would seek vengeance, perhaps more fiercely than one could imagine...

Even if she despised Zhang Ziqin, as a woman, she couldn’t help but feel some empathy!

The ringing of a phone interrupted their moment. Lu Li answered and, with a smirk curling at his lips, stood up: “Alright, once we’ve dealt with this trouble, we’ll head to the Magic City to meet that nephew abandoned by his aunt, Ye Chen!”

“Uh-huh!” Cao Yingying watched Lu Li leave tenderly. She appreciated the changes in him. Although he seemed more ruthless than in his previous life, he remained the gentle man she loved.

She was sure he was her Lu Li, not someone possessed as in some novels.

“Stand guard at the door. This will be over soon,” Lu Li said, his expression chilling as he entered the dilapidated house.

Today, he would mark the end of one-third of the past’s grievances and pain.

“Okay!” You Meng nodded firmly, filled with a sense of duty.

Where am I?

Struggling to move, Zhang Ziqin found herself bound tightly, unable to escape.

Darkness enveloped her, obscuring her vision.

Kidnapped!

Realization struck her, accompanied by a surge of fear. Unlike the sheltered ladies of high society, Zhang Ziqin, having taken control of Zhang Corporation early, was forced to mature quickly.

Aware of the ugliness in the world, she still couldn’t suppress her trembling when faced with such a predicament.

She couldn’t accept it, considering it a betrayal of Lu Li, even if forced. Regardless of Lu Li’s indifference, she was determined to remain chaste for him.

Her body, her soul, everything she had belonged to Lu Li, and she wouldn’t allow anyone else to lay a finger on her.

Struggling against her restraints, she knew her captor’s intentions were vile, but she was prepared to die rather than let them succeed.

Would Lu Li shed a tear for her after her death?

Maybe so...
