Chapter 622 The Golden Clock Shows The Past (6)



Zhan Yahui watched Xing Bi's death unfold in utter silence. She was still at a loss of all these strange memories that never happened in her life but she could very well imagine taking Xing Bi's life for the sake of protecting her revenge.

First it was Zixin who lost his memories because of the deadly accident she planned and then it was Xing Bi's death. One threat was sorted.

But on the other hand, the situation of making Shui agree to marrying Jin remained at a stand still even months later. So as the last resort, Zhan Yahui hatched a plan.

She made Cai Lingyun add heavy sedatives in Jun's drinks to make him fall unconscious. Taking advantage of this, 'Guiying' threatened to kill Jun if Shui didn't agree to her demands.

"Why are you doing this!" Shui asked, crying hard. "What has Jun done to you that you are being so cruel! He is already broken…How much more do you want me to break him?"

"Until he is unable to stand on his feet," 'Guiying' ruthlessly said. "Do as I say or you won't see Jun again. Nobody will."

The conversation left Shui shattered. There was no way she would ever see Jun die. Thereafter she did the only thing that she could do in that situation to save Jun from harm's way. She knew Jin wouldn't agree if she just abruptly asked for marriage. So she cut herself in order to threaten him. 

Zhan Yahui watched all this in a stunned stupor. She was aware that Jun and Shui were good childhood friends but to put her life in danger for his sake and also making Jin hate her forever was something she had never imagined Shui would do.

She rejoiced when she got the news of Shui and Jin's wedding. That would be the last straw to completely and utterly annihilate Jun from within. The man who destroyed her family would be destroyed beyond repair.

But it was as if Zhan Yahui's happiness was short-lived because around the same time, she also learned that Ai was back in Beijing.

"She came back after she learned of Xing Bi's death," Hou Lin said. "But she doesn't seem to believe the forged record of her drink and driving accident."

She gritted her teeth. "Oh God! First Xing Bi and now Zhou Ai! What the hell is their problem? It's like these people keep on coming. They already left Dream High so why can't they just stay quiet in their own life?"

"Zhou Ai is trying to contact the private investigator that Xing Bi had hired."

"But you already dealt with him."

"Nevertheless, she is trying to find out about him."

Zhan Yahui shut her eyes and said, "Let me think."

She cut the call, throwing curses at Ai. 

"I have to do something about her. I don't care how many people die, I won't let anybody come in my way."

At the same time, she saw Guiying in a strangely off mood that day. Her gaze looked lifeless and defeated.

"What happened to you now?"

"...Ai returned to Beijing."

"Yeah so? Don't tell me you are worried because you feel threatened by her."

She said nothing.

Zhan Yahui's expression twisted. "Oh come on you cannot be serious."

"You know what? All this time…Bro hardly talked to me. He never bo-bothered with me. But as soon as Ai came back, he changed. He smiled at me but only because…only because he was talking about Ai. Only because…" she trembled, "he cannot wait to meet Ai. How he missed her so much. He even told me to keep Yating away from her…He doesn't want Ai to meet Yating and rekindle her love for him. Everything…was all about Ai. Then…" it pained her to speak as tears fell, "Then wh-what about me, Yahui?"

Zhan Yahui didn't know what to say.

"I am…I am tired, Yahui…" her eyes grew wetter and her body shivered harder. "I am so tired. Every single time…it's all about Ai for him. I came this far and I thought that there would be one day when Bro will feel proud of me. But that day…just never comes for me because the only person he looks at is Ai. A-and it hurts, Yahui…It hurts bad because it looks like I am invisible to him."

Zhan Yahui yawned. "And I told you a million times to ignore the hell of your useless brother. If you are invisible to him, then he should be invisible to you too. Have some self-respect even if he is your only family. That's your problem. You feed too much attention to his ego. Whatever. Just go back home and calm down."

Guiying was mentally exhausted so she did as she was told. But this conversation brought forth a deadly idea in her mind.

She said to Hou Lin as she smiled. "I heard Zhou Ai is coming to Dream High tomorrow to fetch some remaining things Xing Bi had left. And I see Guiying is at her limit. It will explode if they meet face to face."

"How will this help us?"

"When Zhou Ai used to work here, she liked going to the terrace. She frequently hung out with Gu Yating at a particular spot too. I had seen them together a few times. Considering their past relationship, I am sure Zhou Ai would be emotionally pulled to go to the terrace and at that same place once again."

"So?"

"That will be her last time."

"I don't understand."

"Let's just say we need to do a little bit of tinkering with the railing."

"You mean to say that Ai will fall from the terrace?"

"Thanks to Guiying."

He frowned. "She won't push Ai to her death."

"Not purposely of course but I will be sure to spread more poison in her heart that she will feel compelled to feel violent."

Hou Lin stayed silent.

"What?"

"Xing Bi is already dead. How many people will have to kill, Yahui?"

"As many as would dare to come in my way."

"Do you think…this is the right thing to do?"

Her gaze burned with a sense of madness. "There is no right and wrong for me, Lin. My world starts and ends with revenge. I won't stop until I cripple the Liu family and if people will meddle in my business, then yes, I will kill them without mercy."
