Chapter 239 - A game of chess

Leng Shao still stood as he stared blankly at where Su Bei left even though she was no longer in sight. 

With Su Bei's disappearance and with the look of pain in her eyes, Leng Shao couldn't help but feel uneasy as he wanted so much to chase after her, but he knew that if he did, he would just irritate Su Bei more. 

One thing that he did not want is for her to push him away. Maybe this time, he would have to give her some time before he would show her his real intentions of wanting her back in his life. 

He wanted so bad to clear his image of him for Su Bei to understand that he won't ever do such a thing to Yan Mei, their common friend. 

He sighed as he ran his hand through his hair, frustrated about who did the video and why he or she had aired it during Yan Mei's launch.

Because of that, the video tarnished not only Leng Shao's but also Yan Mei's. 

As he was about to leave the demesne, however, Leng Shao was taken aback as he was grabbed by the arm by Wang Lu, making him turn to look at him. 

Leng Shao's eyes widened, "Wang Lu? What--"

Before Leng Shao could even speak, the punch that he received from Wang Lu interrupted him. His nose immediately bled as he fell on the ground, looking up at Wang Lu with cold eyes as he wiped his blood with the sleeve of his suit. 

It had been such a long time since the two had talked despite them being best friends. Well, they were best friends. 

After not talking to each other for five years, this is how Wang Lu would talk to Leng Shao after such a long time of being distant?

Leng Shao got hurt from his punch, but it did not intimidate him whatsoever. Leng Shao just scoffed as he stood up slowly, meeting Wang Lu's angry gaze as he spoke. 

"What's your problem?"

Wang Lu accusingly pointed at Leng Shao, his index finger shaking in anger. 

"Oh, Leng Shao... damn you for being so cheap!"

Leng Shao furrowed his brows, at a loss and in confusion as Wang Lu seemed to be accusing him of something that even Leng Shao isn't aware of what this accusation is all about. 

"What?"

Wang Lu thought that Leng Shao was feigning ignorance. In his fury, his nose fumed as he walked in three strides towards Leng Shao. Wang Lu then grabbed Leng Shao by the collar, his spit going on his face as he lashed his anger at him. 

"Don't act dumb! You recorded the video of you and Feng Mei f.u.c.k.i.n.g each other! Aren't you ashamed of doing such a disgusting act?! So, don't you lie to me! I saw you two in action five years ago with my own eyes!"

'What?'

Leng Shao's body stiffened. He then remembered why Wang Lu was so sure that Yan Mei had cheated on him. 

Could the video have something to do with their divorce?

"See?" Wang Lu scoffed as he shoved Leng Shao away from him, the man struggling to keep his balance. "You could not answer me! It's true!"

Wang Lu coldly stared at him, "What the f.u.c.k are you saying? You think that I--?"

"Don't you dare say another word!"

Wang Lu glared at him as if his eyes were the tips of a sharpened dagger. If looks could kill, he would have stabbed Leng Shao a lot of times already. 

"I can't believe that my best friend, you, have seduced my wife to cheat on me!"

Leng Shao's eyebrows connected as he found it ludicrous for Wang Lu to believe the video. 

They had known each other for such a long time, and with him seeing the video, he already accused him of being the man who f.u.c.k.i.e.d his wife?

Heck, if he said he saw them five years ago, how could he believe that when he remembers that he could not be alone with Yan Mei knowing that she is married to his best friend, Wang Lu?

"Wang Lu--"

"Enough. I have no reason to listen to you or whatsoever. You have completely destroyed my trust and ruined my life with her."

Before Leng Shao could even tell him his side, Wang Lu had walked away, leaving Leng Shao alone. 

"What?" Leng Shao scoffed, "So those long friendship I had with him was clouded by his stupidity and judgment?" he mumbled to himself as he frustratingly ran his hand through his hair. 

Leng Shao felt all the more disturbed and agitated now that the people who are close to him and getting close to him started judging him when he had not done such a deed with Yan Mei. 

Already wanting to leave the vicinity, Leng Shao shook his head as he heaved a heavy sigh, already making way to his car so he could immediately leave the place. 

From afar, however, unnoticed by the audience and the other people in the launch's area was a man in a suit, leaning on the oak tree's trunk as his lips curled into an evil smirk. 

He threw his keys up a lot of times, catching it in his hand as he watched the commotion unravel right before his eyes. 

He laughed maniacally as he stared at the employees of Lei Zhao handling the area, the mysterious man shaking his head as he looked down on them trying their best to fix the issue. 

"Oh, they think they could stop what else is going to happen?" 

He was talking to himself, raising a brow as the smirk slowly disappeared from his face. 

"Oh, the fun is yet to begin... the little kitty would have to do her best to run away from this psychotic man."

The mysterious man in a suit then started walking away as he chuckled to himself, his shoulders moving up and down as he enjoyed what was happening in their lives. 

Until he is not yet caught, he knows that he would still have more opportunities to ruin each and every aspect of their lives.
