Chapter 365: Chapter 366 Debt

“Now you need to answer me a question. Why are you so sure that Miss Xue is not the Third Lady?”

“I was not sure at the beginning, but I finally understood it all early today. It was just an illusion you deliberately created, in order to mislead me and prevent me from being aware of your true purpose,” I said coldly.

“If Ziyuan was the Third Lady, then it would make sense why she was willing to make such a favorable condition for me in the cooperation plan. Because she obviously regards me as a special existence, and I would not be so surprised if she have sex with me. Everything could be explained using the reason that she likes me, and then when I believed that she was the Third Lady, I would not think too much about other things.”

“So, did Miss Xue do something that exposed herself?”

Thinking of Ziyuan’s habit of curling her toes inwards when she was lying since she was a child, and thinking that she said so many inexplicable self-blaming things last night, I couldn’t help but say, “Despicable means can control a person’s behavior, but they can’t control a person’s heart. You shouldn’t have used Ziyuan to deal with me.”

“Is that so…” Mo Yizhi’s reaction was a bit strange, I couldn’t tell whether he wanted to praise me or ridicule me, “I thought this illusion could confuse you a little bit longer…”

“It almost completely fooled me,” I did not deny that I was almost fooled by him. Fortunately, thanks to Yao Waner’s innocent question, I realized the key problem, “You are very cunning. You specially arranged for Min Rou to approach me, so she could confuse me and make me think that Ziyuan is the Third Lady.

“After all, not many people knew that Shu Tong’s parents came to Bei Tian city yesterday. And the people who have the ability to arrange a woman like Min Rou to approach me are even less. Acting like my assistant, driving a luxury car for me, taking me to a nice restaurant and booking a high-end hotel, apart from Ziyuan, only you have the ability to arrange those things. So after I ruled out Ziyuan, I was certain that it was you.”

At this point, I suddenly remembered the thing that I couldn’t remember clearly in the car when I came here. It was the hotel…

“Hehe,” Mo Yizhi seemed to be muttering to himself, “I also think it is very clever to arrange Min Rou to approach you…”

“So you admit that these were all arranged by you?” While feeling angry, I also felt that something was wrong. Mo Yizhi was too cooperative and he didn’t seem like he wanted to hide it at all. Did he underestimate me or…

Mo Yizhi smiled and said, “I only admitted that I knew everything about last night, and I knew Miss Xue’s difficulties, but I didn’t admit anything else.”

“What do you mean?”

“Remember what I said just now? As long as your guess is right, I won’t deny it.”

I was dazed, “You mean I guessed it wrong? You didn’t arrange these?”

With Mo Yizhi’s identity and status, he wouldn’t tell such lies, it’s beneath him. So I was surprised in my heart. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there were indeed some things that did not add up. There were some incongruities in Mo Yizhi’s words, but I couldn’t figure it out at the moment. Why did his words feel so strange?

“I knew everything, at best, I didn’t object to it… By the way, Little Chu, is it true that you have extorted 2.5 million from Zhang Mingjie?”

I didn’t know why Mo Yizhi suddenly changed the subject. While I was still trying to figure out what was wrong with his words, I nodded instinctively, and then quickly emphasized, “One million was to the medical expenses and living expenses for a kid and her grandma.”

“I know, and the other 1.5 million, you donated to an elementary school for children of migrant workers,” Mo Yizhi took out a cigarette, glanced at the bedroom hesitantly, but eventually still lit it on, “Moreover, kid and her grandma, you also arranged them to live in that school, right?”

I didn’t tell Mo Fei about donating money to the school, so how did Mo Yizhi know that Ku’er and her grandmother were arranged to live in the school by me? My face changed instantly. Then I heard Mo Yizhi continue, “In other words, you made more than two million ill-gotten wealth, but you gave them all away… ”

‘No, I once used that money to treat Sister Tiger to a seafood restaurant…’ I blushed.

In the end, to me, the money was just a string of numbers on the bank receipts. I never even had time to withdraw some of it from the bank before I transferred them all out. I also transferred the money for Ku’er and her grandma into Zhu Danchen’s account as well. She was Sister Tiger’s friend, so I trusted her…

“Why do you want to mention this?” Trying to use the fact that I had extorted money from someone to threaten me? Impossible. The money was paid to me by Zhang Mingjie ‘voluntarily’ after all. What could he possibly do to me?

“Don’t be nervous, I don’t think you have done anything wrong. I also don’t like Zhang Mingjie. I was also very satisfied to see that you taught him a lesson.” Mo Yizhi chuckled and said, “But did you forget another thing? In Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort, I spent a million to ransom you from the gunmen. No matter how brave you were that night, my money was taken away by Xu Heng…”

A cold sweat slowly broke out on my forehead. Did Mo Yizhi want to go back on his words and ask me to pay him back one million? ! If he really did, then I would have nowhere to get that money. That was one million after all!

“I can give you a promotion and increase your salary. One million should be enough for you to work for me for seven or eight years…”

“Wait, wait!” At this moment, I no longer cared about my face anymore. Anyway, I was a shameless person. “Didn’t you say that I don’t need to pay the money back? I saved Fei Fei, and then you saved me, we didn’t owe each other anything. This is what you said…”

“Yes, I said that before, but you also understand why I said those words, right? I hoped that your two’s relationship would not continue, but you see, you just hugged her in front of me. She has never been so intimate with any man before, and she is actually more willing to listen to you than me.

“Even if Fei’er likes you unilaterally, you can’t say that you have zero responsibility for it, right?” Mo Yizhi now completely acted like a jealous and unreasonable father, but I didn’t know how to refute him. He was right. If I rejected Mo Fei’s affection clearly, it would be impossible for an arrogant person like Mo Fei to make such a request to let me hug her in front of other people…

Mo Yizhi snorted and said, “So how is it that we don’t owe each other anything? I paid you to stay away from Fei’er, but you took her away from me. Huh! That deal has already broken!”

I knew that he deliberately wanted to provoke me, but I really didn’t know how to refute him. So I could only endure it. ‘God damn it, this old sly fox. If he had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have donated all the money to that school!’

Mo Yizhi seemed to like my angry face. But then his expression changed again. He sighed and said seriously, “Little Chu, I know what kind of person you are. If I really insisted on you staying in Fengchang to pay off the debt you owed me, you definitely would not refuse it..”

‘How would I refuse?’ I gritted my teeth and thought. But I didn’t say anything, I still glared at him angrily, hoping that I could choke him to death.

“Do you understand what I am trying to say?”

I was dazed, “What do you mean?”

“If I want to keep you in Fengchang, I just need to use that method. There is no need for me to arrange for Miss Xue to enter the company,” Mo Yizhi said solemnly, “I know that you don’t want to put Fei’er in a difficult position, so you never exposed my dark side in front of her. I’m very grateful for that. But what about Miss Xue? I don’t know what kind of person she is. Would she be able to hold her tongue if she saw Fei’er misunderstand you? I don’t think so. Since she didn’t tell you anything, it proves that she really wants to protect you…”

I faintly understood what Mo Yizhi wanted to say. My heart was shaking, and my body was sweating, “You mean…”

“If Miss Xue told Fei’er that everything was arranged by me, what would Fei’er think of me? Little Chu, do you think I would take that kind of risk? Fei’er’s happiness is more important than my life. She had been hurt too much in the past, so even if I know that letting you leave her or letting her leave you is the best choice, I will not force you to leave her, because I don’t want her to hate me, but…if someone else wants to do it…”

Mo Yizhi poured another cup of tea for me and said calmly, “Since I didn’t object to it, with your intelligence, you should understand what this means, right? Little Chu, you must keep in mind that a businessman always pursues the best interests. Leaving you in Fengchang, getting the opportunity to cooperate with the Third Lady, and letting Fei’er give up on you on her own accord has always been something I want.”
