Chapter 558 Your Power And My Brain

"She didn't?"

Zhan Yahui wrinkled her brows uneasily as she talked to a certain someone on the phone.

"Yes. Shi Huan refused to meet her."

She slightly gritted her teeth in annoyance. Her plan was to make Shi Huan fall into a deeper pit by making her look like a villain who threatened Cui Fen to take the blame. They had prepared the arrangements for that too.

Wasn't Huan desperate to prove the truth to the world, especially for Chen Yunru's sake? Then why would she refuse to meet Cui Fen?

She released a sigh in exasperation.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes."

"I don't think so."

Zhan Yahui confessed. "I am just irritated…I did become Shi Publishing's CEO as we had planned, but instead of feeling that I am closer to my goal, I am getting restless."

"This is just a minor bump. We will think of something else to trap Shi Huan."

"But we have to do it sooner! It's just on the surface that I want to prove her innocence. But you know that I want to ruin her career forever. I cannot let Liu Jun prove her innocence before I do anything. Everything…I want everything in my control!"

There was a pause. "Why are you being so negative?"

Zhan Yahui narrowed her eyes. "Because it feels that there is something going on with Liu Jun that I am not aware of. After Chen Zixin's accident, he knew who to look for. Fang Wuhan, who I had initially decided to use against Chen Zixin to take the blame for the accident, was suddenly captured by Liu Jun. Why only him? At the Author Summit, I bribed the judges to make Guiying win but somehow Ai ended up winning the competition! Even that shitty personality of Guiying threatened to ruin me, but how did she come to know the truth that I was using her?"

Silence.

"I wanted the misunderstanding regarding MrPerfect to last longer so that I could keep using her against him, but somehow Liu Jun resolved it and also convinced her that I was behind everything from the beginning. He wanted to see Chen Zixin's laptop to know the identity of the woman he was chatting with, which was why we had to burn it down, but why did he know that he had to do that? Just how did he figure out my involvement?"

"You…"

"Even Guiying happened to meet Chen Zixin after the accident and somehow they ended up getting closer. That's why the deal with MrPerfect got revealed so soon. If not for the meetings that she hid from me, she wouldn't have reached the truth of the identity mismatch!"

She clasped her temples, feeling annoyed. "It's like…Liu Jun is one step ahead of me, and I don't like this!"

"It might be like that for now but not forever. He is not in a position to run Sky Publishing for some time. I did tell you that Liu Jun and Zhou Ai fell extremely sick. On top of that, Liu Jin had an accident too. He is weak now which is why we have to strike the hardest now."

She sneered. "Yeah. It's the perfect chance. But did you learn what exactly happened to him? We could use it against him if we want."

"No. I checked. Liu Jin's case is quite clear. It was a car accident. But what happened to Liu Jun and Zhou Ai is still a mystery. Even the doctors aren't able to figure out why they suddenly collapsed."

She frowned.

Strange…

She was happy to see Jun weak and vulnerable but not knowing the reason made her dissatisfied.

The voice asked, "What will you do if he wants to meet you? Indeed I have done my best to hide your identity, but Zhu Chyou is quite admirable too. I don't think we can hide your real connection to him for very long."

She laughed with a pure evil ring to it. "It is a head-on war now. I don't have any obligation to meet him or hear what he has to say. Will he apologize to me or refuse to accept his sin? Will he kneel before me in guilt or defend himself like a coward? I don't care. Now, I will only meet Liu Jun when I would have thoroughly destroyed him. This war will end only when I win."

Zhan Yahui looked up at the ceiling and smiled. "And so let's begin that downfall with our first target. Sun Bai."

The next day at Chen villa.

'Guiying' was in her new room, sitting cross-legged on the bed and in deep thought. 'She' heard a knock on the door and said, "Come in."

Zixin promptly stepped in and looked at her with a smile. "It's breakfast time. Should we head down together?"

"Sure but first I have to think about something," 'she' answered without looking at him.

Zixin observed 'her' squinted gaze as if 'she' looked like a predator on a hunt. Which also made him realize that it was the alter ego right now.

He walked up to her and curiously asked, "What are you thinking about?"

'She' sneered. "What my sole aim is. To ruin Zhan Yahui."

"Oh."

'Guiying' lazily leaned back her palms on the bed and looked up. 'She' stared at Zixin and Zixin, noticing her gaze, sincerely peered into her eyes too. He didn't know why 'she' was staring like that, nevertheless he was happy to oblige.

"You," 'Guiying' said thoughtfully, "are a rich man."

He nodded.

"You are very influential too."

He nodded again.

'Guiying' raised her brow as an idea came to her. "So why don't you help me?"

Zixin beamed. Joy blossomed in his heart to know that 'Guiying' wanted his help with something.

"I will," he replied earnestly and immediately.

"You don't even know what I want to ask of you. What if I want your help in killing someone?"

"I will help you bury the body," Zixin seriously said.

'Her' brow twitched.

"Yeah how I wish I could kill that Zhan Yahui. But killing is boring. I will do something else instead. So I will use your power and my brain to achieve that goal," 'she' sneered, "It will be fun~"
