Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 299: Tit for Tat (1)

After many scandals of the Zhao family’s second lady were exposed, the news of Zhao family’s second madam hiring desperadoes to harm her stepdaughter had quickly become the headlines of every report. This pushed the Zhao family to a difficult position once again.

Thanks to Li Hongyu, those things about Zhao Youxi previously had gradually been suppressed and forgotten under the impact of her hiring other people to hurt someone.

It was just that being the protagonist of the scandals, Zhao Youxi did not think that it was a happy thing.

Zhao Youxi’s actions were fast. She said that she was going to meet Li Hongyu, and she went to the police station directly the next day.

After learning about Zhao Youlin’s intention, the people of the police station did not make things difficult for Zhao Youlin. After all, Zhao Youlin was the victim of this incident. It was understandable for her to visit the person who wanted to harm her.

Zhao Youlin was taken to a close cubicle. After a while, the police officer who detained Li Hongyu brought her in.

In just one day, Li Hongyu seemed to have become ten years older. Her face was caked with heavy make-up, and she had stopped smiling. She looked extremely embarrassed.

When Li Hongyu saw Zhao Youlin, her face instantly turned worse. She glanced at the two or three police officers who were still standing in the room. Then, she forced herself to sit down at the opposite side of Zhao Youlin. She asked coldly, “Why are you here? Are you here to laugh at me?”

Looking at Li Hongyu’s guarded look, Zhao Youlin smiled. She interlocked her fingers and supported her head on the table. Then, she said lazily, “I can’t help it if you want to think so.”

“You!”

“What? Do you want to hit me? Well, those things you did have been proven to be conclusive, anyway. Now, you’re only short of conviction. It means nothing to have more than one charge, and it will be better if I can die with you. It’s a great deal, isn’t it?” Zhao Youlin glanced at the police officers in the room as if she was talking about something. Then, she smiled ironically and said, “Do you think that you can really kill me in front of so many people?”

Li Hongyu’s face was slightly pale. Her eyes stared at Zhao Youlin viciously, and the hatred in her eyes gave off an indescribable scary feeling.

“Well, you don’t like me, and I don’t like you as well. Let’s hurry up and get into the subject. Li Hongyu, why did you hire those people to kill me so desperately?”

Zhao Youlin’s question that was too straightforward made Li Hongyu unavoidably stunned. Her eyes began to subconsciously dart about.

“Do I still need a reason to ask people to harm you? No matter when it was, your existence is a threat to me. I regret it now that I didn’t see through your disguise when you were in the Zhao family back then. If I knew that you’re such a person at that time, I would have… would have…”

“You would have what? You would have thought of killing me, just like how you killed my mother back then?”

“W-What?” Li Hongyu’s expression instantly changed. She could not help but lower her head, and she said in horror, “W-What are you talking about? I don’t understand at all.”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. You just need to know that the people you hired have confessed everything. Not only the incident this time, but all the things you have asked them to do so many years back. They confessed everything without leaving out a single detail.”

The last bit of blood on Li Hongyu’s face faded. Her hands grabbed her pants tightly, and her body began to tremble.

“You’re afraid now?” Zhao Youlin sneered. “Why weren’t you afraid when you did all these things back then? At that time, didn’t you ever wonder what would happen to you if these things were revealed one day?”

Li Hongyu pursed her lips and did not answer.

Zhao Youlin sighed. Then, she sneered and said, “Well, how can someone who was blinded by the glory and wealth in front of them see these? All right, we’ll talk about these later. Let’s continue the topic just now. Why did you want to hire those people to harm me? Or should I say, why did you choose to hire those people to harm me at this time?”

“I’ve already answered this question just now. Your existence is a threat to me.”

“In that case, why don’t you dare to raise your head and look into my eyes when answering this question?” Zhao Youlin leaned forward abruptly and got close to Li Hongyu. Her action scared the police officers nearby, making them inevitably take a step forward. This was because they were afraid that a dispute would happen between the two, especially Li Hongyu.

However, Li Hongyu, who was considered by the police officers to be very likely to take advantage to hit Zhao Youlin at this time, seemed to have received a great shock, and she reflexively leaned back.

Zhao Youlin’s deep eyes stared at Li Hongyu’s eyes closely. Then, she smiled. “Just like what you said, you regret that you didn’t have the foresight to kill me beforehand back then, so you have to keep tolerating me now. Why would you, someone who was able to bear it when I joined the Zhao Enterprise as the general manager, choose to kill me at this time? The only explanation is that I have done something that makes you particularly unbearable recently, and it has created a sense of crisis that makes you more fearful than me joining the Zhao Enterprise.”

Li Hongyu’s face was full of horror. She pursed her lips, and her eyes widened without saying a word.

However, Zhao Youlin did not plan to let her go just like this. “Let me guess. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Was I the threat to you or Zhao Youxi?”

“Zhao Youlin!” When Li Hongyu heard Zhao Youlin mentioned Zhao Youxi, she finally could not bear it and yelled.

After yelling, she remembered where she was now, so she hurriedly covered her mouth. Then, she glanced at the police officers beside her with lingering fear. She was a little relieved when she made sure that they did not reveal anything unusual.

The corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips curled up. She pulled away and sat back in her chair. “It seems like I guessed it correctly. Zhao Shuncheng did tell you guys about it when he went back. You think that I have Zhao Youxi’s weakness in my hand, and I’m just like a time bomb that will explode at any time. So, you wanted to hire those people to ruin me and destroy that thing at the same time to avoid future troubles. Ms. Li, is my guess correct?”

Li Hongyu’s face was gloomy. She did not admit or refute Zhao Youlin’s inquiry.

“If this was the case, I may have to tell you good news and bad news.” Zhao Youlin looked at Li Hongyu with a faint smile, making Li Hongyu instinctively feel a little chilly on her back.

“What good news and bad news?”

“The good news is that, as you wish, although those people didn’t kill me, the phone with the recording was crushed because my car had a car accident when they chased me, so the recording inside has disappeared.”

Li Hongyu’s expression showed that she was happy. Unfortunately, before the corners of her mouth fully curled up, she heard Zhao Youlin add.

“The bad news is that I have backed up the recording a long time ago. It is not only my phone that has it.”

The room was silent.
