Chapter 156 - Acting Is In Your Blood, So You Will Gain Sympathy Easily

Yue Wan nonchalantly singled a lane change and answered Lu Meili as she righted her car. "Oh right, that! Good job. Is that what you were looking for?"

Veins probed out of Lu Meili temples as she heard Yue Wan's response. Looking at the phone screen as if trying to see through it, she then put it back up to her ear and continued to yell. "You friggin B*tch! Because of your 'simple request', I almost lost half my life! You sinister and poisonous woman! How are you going to repay me for that? Why did you make my life hell? Why couldn't you just leave me alone?"

Yue Wan brought her car to a stop at an intersection as she waited for the lights to turn. Listening to Lu Meili complaining, Yue Wan's lips twisted into a sneer. "Are you sure you are not talking about yourself? Poisonous and sinister, you say? Compared to you, do I really deserve that description? In the past with your Sainted Aunt, you hatched so many plots in order to destroy my life, you even planned to drug me twice in my own home! If you are not the most sinister and vicious person in this world I don't know who would be! Stop blaming me every time something happens to you or doesn't go your way. You did this to yourself.... Also, Mind your words or else," her voice was tainted with frost.

Gritting her teeth, Lu Meili paced back and forth in the dilapidated motel room she managed to hide out in. Looking out the window, her eyes turned as cold as vicious as a snake. "Yue Wan don't feel too proud of yourself. Do you really think that I didn't know your motive? Your target from the beginning is not the Li family. It's THEM, right? If I expose the truth about your sinister plan to trap the Li family to THEM, what would happen to you and yours? Don't think that you are the only one that knows how to plot and plan. You are not as smart as you might wish you were."

Yue Wan chuckled a bit and spoke sarcastically as she stared at the car in front of her. "Are you threatening me, Ms. Lu. Mei. Li? Let me tell you a little secret... It's USELESS! Don't forget this Miss Lu. Mei. Li, without my help you won't survive another minute, let alone another hour or another day. Even if you switch sides and try to cuddle up to someone more powerful, there is no guarantee that you could live to see the next dawn. Just like your Aunt Lu Jia's cruel death, I am sure that what is waiting for you would be that much more bloody and painful."

When Yue Wan was staying with her brother at Ye Xian's mansion after their accident, she went to check on her big brother and found the files regarding Lu Jia's death near his bed.

Of course, she didn't read the details of the file as she did not want to snoop into her brother's business, she had only roughly seen the pictures and had a general understanding of what happened.

Suddenly an idea popped in her mind and she used the information as bait to lure Lu Meili to her side.

Having understood what Yue Wan meant, Lu Meili's face was filled with a complicated mix of terror and anxiety, she couldn't hide the trepidation in her eyes. The air conditioner that she had turned on earlier to cool her off was now freezing her blood and soul, as if something was climbing up her body, starting at her feet and making its way up to her heart. She had turned as pale as a sheet and her thin body stiffened for a moment before she started to shake so uncontrollably that she almost dropped her phone.

How could she forget that image? Just remembering it, she already sweating profusely. Those guys who hired her Aunt just needed a scapegoat to work out their plan and then kill it off when it was no longer needed.

Is she just a scapegoat like her aunt?

Lu Meili subconsciously swallowed as her body feel weak and her legs gave out. Her hand drifted over the curtains as she slowly sank onto the dirty carpeted floor, no longer having the strength to do anything but grip the phone tighter.

Tears of fear and desperation welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks as she knelt there, in a dirty, darkened hotel room as if Yue Wan was standing before her and not on the phone. She choked on the words as she struggled to get them out. Rocking back and forth she begged: "I...d...n't wan...na di...e! I don't! Yue Wan save me! Please! I beg you! I will do everything you say! Please save me! Please!!"

The horrible picture of her Aunts' broken, bloodied body played over and over again in her head. There was no longer any question in Lu Meili's mind. What were her options? Should she choose being tortured death by THEM or latching onto Yue Wan thigh and hope she could find a hole deep enough for her to hide? Of course, there was only one way out... Yue Wan.

"Lu Meili, stop getting all flustered and nervous," Yue Wan said with a smirk that was beautiful and captivating as orchids in bloom. Yet, the words that came out of those mesmerizing lips were as deadly as sharp daggers. "Just wait patiently. If my calculations are right, sooner or later, the person who was disadvantaged by Li Rong's imprisonment will contact you. At that time, you have to say exactly what I told you to. Don't try any tricks with your tiny brain, you will lose your life before taking your next step."

Placing her index finger into her mouth, Lu Meili started to gnaw on her fingernail. With a nervous tone in her voice, she retorted slowly. "It's good to have a plan, but those people are very dangerous. What if I got caught?"

"You won't. Just act like you are being compiled to do it by THEM. Acting is in your blood, so you will gain sympathy easily with your white lotus hola."

Knowing that she had to follow Yue Wan's words to guarantee her safety. Lu Meili reluctantly accepted it: "Okay."

After she hung up the phone, Yue Wan signed a relief, she really hoped her plan worked. She was fighting in the dark, so she could only prepare some tricks of her own, in order to strike while the iron was hot. She gripped the steering wheel hard as she thought about her next move. 

Just then, Yue Wan turned her head and saw a Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita car speeding past her, almost uncontrollably.

Even though it was only a glimpse, she was damn sure that it was her big brother's car. She knew that he had it in his collection at home, and there were not many people that owned that particular car.

Why is he in such a rush?
