Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Lu Jingli woke up, it was already dark outside.

The first thing he wanted to do was to find his brother. He had just stepped out the door when his phone rang. The screen showed that it was Mo Lingtian calling.

Why was this guy calling him right now?

Lu Jingli suspiciously picked up the call. ”Hey, Bro Tian! Whatʼs up?”

Mo Lingtianʼs tone sounded very serious. ”Jingli, whatʼs up with your brother? Why have you suddenly fallen out with the Guan family?”

”Ah? Fallen out? Yes, we did! Weʼve long fallen out with each other! But how did you find out?” Lu Jingli asked suspiciously.

”How did I find out? Right now, everyone in the entire circle knows! Recently, the Guan familyʼs huge deal with the government has been exposed for huge amounts of bribery and unlawful competition. Guan Rui has already been taken away for investigation, while the Guan familyʼs listed company abroad is on the verge of bankruptcy overnight. Now, the Guans are running all over to get help through connections, but your brother just released word to the circle that if anyone helps them, itʼll mean theyʼre going against him!” Mo Lingtian quickly explained.

Lu Jingli was flabbergasted. ”Crap! I only fell asleep and just woke up... Heʼs already bankrupted the Guans?”

”Now, Iʼm calling your brother, but I canʼt get through, so I can only come looking for you. What actually happened?” Mo Lingtian asked in a lowered tone.

Lu Jingli pouted. ”Tsk, did Guan Ziyao ask you for help? Bro Tian, donʼt say that I didnʼt warn you. Itʼs best that you donʼt get involved with this. Otherwise, weʼll end up not being friends!”

”I have to at least know the reason!”

Lu Jingli taunted, ”Before I tell you the reason, Iʼd quite like to know what Guan Ziyao said to you.”

”She said that your brother did this for Ning Xi. This reason... is logical, but doesnʼt make total sense. If nothing particular hadnʼt happened, he wouldnʼt have done things to this extent.”

When he heard that Mo Lingtian was rational at least, Lu Jingliʼs attitude eased. ”Good thing you came looking me. Had you looked for my brother, based on his personality, he definitely wouldnʼt care to explain. Later on, youʼll fall into the honey trap. Sheʼll simply cry a little. You might even be fooled! Wait! Let me send you two very entertaining voice recordings. You listen for yourself!”

Lu Jingli finished, then he sighed, ”Bro Tian, I really admire you for being dead set on liking someone and even liked her for so many years. I respect your persistence, but Iʼm afraid some people arenʼt what they seem. Youʼd better watch out!”

After Mo Lingtian hung up, he fell into a deep thought.

Very quickly, there was a notification of a new e-mail in his inbox.

Mo Lingtian lit up a cigarette. He hesitated momentarily before he clicked on it. Listening to the sound of the voices, his expression looked worse and worse...

It was not sure how long had passed before Mo Lingtian finally returned to the private room.

Inside the room, when Guan Ziyao saw him she quickly asked nervously, ”Lingtian, what did Tingxiao say?”

Mo Lingtian looked at her with mixed emotions, then he said, ”I couldnʼt get through to Tingxiao. I called Lu Jingli. He sent me two recordings.”

When Guan Ziyao heard the words ”recordings”, she instantly turned pale.

Mo Lingtian stared lifelessly at this woman before him. ”Ziyao, is there something youʼre hiding from me?”

Guan Ziyao collapsed onto the chair behind her. She knew she could not cover it up anymore, so she smiled bitterly as she said, ”Yes... My father, mother, and brother have done some silly things, but they did it all for me... just so I can get my happiness. I can pay the price for my stubbornness, but theyʼre innocent...”
