Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 840: Joining hands

With his face being squished in between Chyou's hands, Yating pretty much didn't have any option to resist her.

"Ye-Yeshhh…"

Chyou nodded in satisfaction.

Ai knitted her brows. "I am not liking this though. Why would Cheng Yin suddenly target your father like that? Why would he accuse him of any crime?"

"I think…" Jun's eyes narrowed thoughtfully, "I can make a guess."

Two people with grudges seem to have joined hands. But why would Duan Ren suddenly appear in the picture after so many years?

Chyou shook her head. "Whatever it is, I don't want Yating falling into his trap. Or maybe it is that he learned that Yating and Uncle Rong are generally not on good terms, so he is targeting that weakness and thinks that he could bring even more differences between them."

Yating agreed she had a point. With an unreasonable man out for revenge, Yin could do anything and adopt any method to bring Yating down. Attacking his sour relationship with Gu Rong would naturally look like a golden chance to Yin.

Siying nodded. "I agree. We should be careful. Wait, I think we shouldn't have let him go."

Jun said, "No, it's fine. We have pretty much guessed what he wants so it won't be really that effective. Plus…" his dark brown eyes squinted, "I want to see just how much more he is hiding."

—

Yin ran and ran and stopped outside at a distance from the hotel. He breathlessly gasped as the sharp pain from his almost broken nose felt like his head was splitting open.

Fuck you bastard!

Rage seethed within him, remembering Yating's punch. But what further stoked the fire of his fury was Chyou's support towards him. Her slap twisted his heart more than the pain on his face.

He had completely lost in life.

He lost his career, his fanbase, the luxurious life he lived as a popular actor and now Chyou too.

His phone buzzed with a call and as he saw the caller's name, his gaze darkened. It was Qiu with whom he had cheated on Chyou.

Ever since the confrontational evening at the Zhu villa happened, Yin had completely cut off his contact with Qiu. He refused to meet her despite her repeated and desperate attempts to meet him. He didn't care. Whatever he had with Qiu was over.

But Qiu stubbornly kept chasing after him. But tonight, Yin didn't have the patience to deal with her anymore, who didn't understand what rejection was. He angrily cut the call and this time, went a step ahead and blocked her.

Yin gritted his teeth and furiously made a call to a person.

"Hello!" A woman's anxious voice sounded from another end. "What happened?"

"What happened my foot! Are you sure you are not scamming me with this, Duan Ren?"

Duan Ren paused on another side. "What do you mean?"

"I did provoke Gu Yating as you told me. It did feel like he was rattled too but nothing much happened. Chyou came forward to stand up for him. She seems to have full trust in that oldie father of his."

She scoffed. "Ah. You don't have to worry about that. It's just that they are being defensive. After all, Rong has painted a very innocent image for himself so it's natural that your claim wouldn't be immediately believed."

"Then what's the use!?"

"Ugh can you calm down for a second? It doesn't matter what they say because Rong being the killer is the truth!"

"Do you have any evidence?"

Her voice sneered from the other end. "I don't have any physical evidence. But it doesn't matter. Rong is way too afraid of the truth getting out. That's why he gave me such a huge alimony after we separated. It wasn't just my demand.

It was my hush hush money."

"And now that hush hush money is depleting?"

"I did contact him a few months back but he angrily shooed me off. He just has to give me more money but the nerve of him giving me attitude especially when he is roaming scot free in the society despite being a killer! Heh. So I think why not show Yating a little trailer of the truth he is hiding?"

"You sure are rotten."

"Hah! Look who is speaking? If I am clinging to Rong then aren't you shamelessly clinging to Zhu Chyou too?"

"Ugh, forget about it! Just tell me what do we do next?"

"For now, nothing. But I have a plan to show Rong's hidden and ugly side to Yating. Once Yating sees that side with his own eyes, he would have no choice left but to listen to me."

Yin frowned. "I am wondering something. If you know his truth then why aren't you threatening him with making it public? Would that be more effective? He could even go to jail."

"No, he won't. He simply has too much power. How do you think he was able to hide the murder for so long and show himself clean to the society? Plus I don't have evidence. I had heard him confessing but that isn't enough to fight him in the court. And I don't want to go through that route either."

"Why not?"

"Because Rong doesn't care what the world thinks of him. I am pretty sure he doesn't care about going to jail either. The only thing that matters to him is what Yating thinks of him. His whole life and emotions all dwell within that boy. He can deal with anybody's hatred but not his son's. That's what I want to target because that makes our side the strongest and his side utterly weak."

On the other side, Duan Ren smiled as she combed her hair looking at the mirror. "Don't worry. Once Rong sees the trailer for himself, he will automatically come in line. He will do what I want and then we will expose him for real. Then seeing their true face, Zhu Chyou will have no choice to leave Yating because who would want to associate themselves with a murderer family?"
