BXBX NOVEL Chapter 182 - Throw Me In Jail For Murder?
"Why don't you want to share your dark secret with me?" Yang Zi asked, still banging on the knock. Yifeng smiled when he heard her still banging on the door. He felt so relieved that he did not keep the spare key on the table or else she would have unlocked the door within split seconds.
Yifeng soaked himself for fifteen minutes in the cold water. Even when his little brother returned to normal, he didn't leave the bathroom because of Yang Zi, who was lurking in front of the door. He only sneaked out of the bathroom when he heard the creaking sound of the front door opening.
Thank goodness she left or else I would have had to sleep in the bathroom throughout today.
Yifeng mumbled as he quickly dressed in his formal wears. After he finished dressing up, he headed downstairs.
Climbing down from the stairs, he could see that she was busy working on the computer, but he could not see what she was exactly working on. He knew that she did not have any leftover work, but he wasn't curious to know what she was working on. He respects her privacy.
Yang Zi glanced at the stairs when she heard approaching footsteps. It surprised her to see him dressed in his formal clothes when today was Saturday.
"Going out? I thought we were going to spend the day together uninterrupted," Yang Zi asked, as she quickly saved the documents she was working on. She closed the computer and went to meet him.
"I know that is what we planned, but I have a prior appointment with an important guest. I would've loved to cancel the appointment so I will spend the entire day in your warm embrace, but I can't. I am sorry," Yifeng said, hugging her tightly. He caressed her body affectionately.
"Why do I feel so terrible that I have to share you with that important guest today?" Yang Zi said unhappily as her grip around him tightened.
"Don't feel sad. I will come back quickly just to keep you company," Yifeng said, patting her hair.
"I wanted to suggest that we should visit Chen in the hospital, but I guess I will have to visit him alone now," Yang Zi said meekly. She slowly unwrapped her hands around his body.
"Yes, you will have to visit him alone today," Yifeng said as he pecked her.
"I will drop by at the Qing's Mansion first to meet up with Shui Shui and Shiyi before I visit Chen so we can still go to the hospital together or will your meeting last for a long time?," Yang Zi asked, staring at him to see how he will react when she mentioned Shiyi. Although Yifeng never mentioned it but she knew that Yifeng did not like it when she met up with Shiyi alone. He always sounded jealous and likewise Shiyi.
"No, it won't last for a long time. I will meet up with you there after my meeting is over," Yifeng said calmly as he made to the exit. For the first, Yang Zi noticed that he wasn't sounding jealous that she was meeting up with Shiyi.
"Take care of yourself and don't forget what I said yesterday," Yang Zi said, smiling at him.
"Enlighten me on which of your many words you are referring to," confused Yifeng asked, staring at her curiously.
"I will not hesitate to chop off the hand of any lady which touches my man inappropriately, have you forgotten so soon?" Yang Zi asked in displeasure.
"Your man?" Yifeng asked, feeling so delighted. His heart swells with pride. He felt so amazing hearing her call him her man.
"Aren't you my man anymore now that you have eaten me twice?" Yang Zi asked shamelessly, staring at Yifeng, who was now at the exit.
"You are mine forever. I will declare that to the entire world in four weeks," Yifeng said, throwing her a flying kiss. "And I will remember that my sweet little wife is the jealous type," Yifeng said, smiling at her before he turned around and walk out through the huge wooden brown door.
"I am also waiting for the day I will proudly say, I LOVE YOU, YIFENG. I can't wait to become yours forever too," Yang Zi muttered, smiling at no one. She carried her laptop and went upstairs to have her bath and also change into something fancy.
Fifteen minutes later.
A handsome guy sat opposite to a middle-aged woman who was dressed in a blue gown. Her hair was slightly curled and her expression shows she was angry. The handsome guy's expression was not pleasant too. His expression looked cold and domineering.
"You want me to drop my charges against that your mistress's mother? Why should I do like you said when you have never pay heeds to my request or that of my daughter? And what is wrong with that tone of yours? Why does it sound like you are ordering me around when in reality, you are begging me?" Mrs Zhao mocked. "Don't you know how to act when you are begging your elder for a favour?"
"Begging? Why should I beg you when you will eventually do what I ask of you whether or not you like it?" Yifeng snarled with an indifferent expression. He so much respected all his elders, but any elder who didn't reciprocate his respect, he treats them as he likes.
"How dare you speak to me in that manner? Have you suddenly lost your manners because of how lenient my husband and I have been on you and your family? Will you learn to behave properly if I have my husband send you to jail?" Mrs Zhao threatened. She could no longer hide her hatred for the man who treated her precious jewel as a piece of trash. If not for her daughter, she would have him thrown in jail so he will get back to his senses.
"Are you the one who has been lenient on me and my family, or is it the other way around?" Yifeng asked, staring at the prideful woman before him with contempt.
"Is it because you have enjoyed a life of luxury for so many years you forgot how your husband got to that position he is right now? Have you suddenly forgotten whom the real master of Keelung country is?" Yifeng asked coldly. His tone sounded so intimidating and cold.
"What if it is your Grandfather who put my husband in that position he is?" Mrs Zhao blurted sternly. "Have you forgotten why you got engaged to Zhao Liying, or will you remember if I have you thrown in jail for murder?" Mrs Zhao threatened, expecting to see Yifeng tremble, but what Yifeng said next left her speechless.
"Throw me in jail for murder?" Yifeng chuckled, as if the woman's words sounded amusing to him. Yifeng had wanted to react violently when the woman brought up his best friend's death, but he knew that is exactly how the woman before him wanted him to react so he will not give her what she wants.
"Before you can even get me arrested for that crime your entire family will be in prison, so tell me how are you going to carry out your threats when you and your entire family will rot in jail by then?" Yifeng asked, grinning wickedly when he saw the woman's trembling hands. She quickly hid her trembling hands to not give herself away.
"What nonsense are you spouting? I have done nothing illegal before, so tell me, how are you going to have me thrown in jail?" Mrs Zhao asked, trying to sound confident, but despite all her efforts her voice still came out shaky. She did not know that Yifeng has seen through her fears.
"Slander, blackmail, bribery, attempted murder, murder, money laundering etc. Tell me which one of them are you not guilty of? Should I also mention the crimes of your psychopathic daughter too? What about that of your husband?" Yifeng asked, fiercely glaring daggers at the woman who dared to threaten him.
"Should I also tell the world of how you and your friends drove Mrs Yang nine years ago to almost commit suicide because of your jealousy," Yifeng added, his gaze on the once confident woman who has begun shivering like a wet leaf.
"Will you drop your charges or should I expose you family's dark secret for the entire world to see?" Yifeng asked, seeing that she did not make any comments.
"Feng," a lady's melodic voice called from behind him. He turned to glare at the woman he loathed so much. He focused his attention back on Mrs Zhao, ignoring the lady now standing beside him.
"Mum, can you excuse us? I will meet you in the car," Zhao Liying said sweetly. She helped her trembling mum up. She sat down after her mum left.
"Feng, can you tell me once and for all? Why do you hate me so much when I have done nothing else but to love you unconditionally? You couldn't even spare my mum, why?" Zhao Liying asked, with a pained look.
