Chapter 128-129: Hatred / Capture
Liu Song returned to the secret hideout from his old residence, it was already past 10 o'clock at night. After a brief hesitation, he beckoned with his hand, and a robust young man in his twenties flashed out: "Young master, what are your orders?"
Liu Song nodded towards the location of his father's study: "Is my dad inside by himself?"
The man bowed and replied: "Young Master Hui, an hour ago a guest arrived, the boss let him into the study!"
"Alright, I know. You can go now!" Liu Song secretly congratulated himself for not rushing in earlier and quickly went upstairs to lock the box in his safe.
He stood up and found Qian Mei leaning against the door, smiling at him. His face quickly fell: "Why didn't you knock on the door before coming in?"
"Why don't I go out and knock again?" Qian Mei smiled and leaned in, her slender hand slowly wandering over Liu Song's body, feeling the changes in his physique, a hint of disgust flashing across her downcast eyes.
Liu Song swiftly pulled away Qian Mei: "You little scoundrel, I have something to attend to now, I'll deal with you when I get back!"
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you here, but hurry up!" Qian Mianmian's voice was like a gentle breeze that carried an inexplicable temptation. Liu Song quickly calmed the flames of desire in his heart and went to his father's room.
With Liu Song's figure disappearing, the charming smile on her face quickly disappeared, locking the door from the inside, skillfully opening the safe, and taking out the box that Liu Song had just put in.
She unzipped it, and inside were neatly arranged file bags wrapped in thick plastic bags. She took one out and opened it, and Qian Mei was stunned - it was actually neatly cut up old newspapers. She flipped through the rest, and they were all the same!
The conversation between the father and son had been eavesdropped by her, so she was clear that what Liu Song brought back should be something. What's going on? Replace it with another one, still the same!
After checking several times, Qian Mei suddenly realized - she had been absolutely swapped!
A bright and lovely face suddenly appeared in her mind, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up into a smile. Life was indeed full of mysteries, she found herself at that moment. She thought it was Liu Zhenghang who sent someone to test her, until the other person revealed their identity, only then did she believe that she wasn't one of Liu Zhenghang's people. Otherwise, she wouldn't be sitting alive in front of her. That father and son duo were ruthless, she knew that clearly.
She was extremely curious about how the other party had inquired about her life, and although her ID and household registration were real, they were no longer the original her. She was confident that no one could investigate the original source, and from this point alone, she could determine that the other party was a cooperative partner who could help her achieve her wishes as soon as possible!
She readily agreed to cooperate with the other party's actions, accepting their command, and as for how they knew her identity, she didn't ask. She was clear about what should and shouldn't be asked, after all, she couldn't let others lay out everything for her, could she? She had a good understanding of whether she was worthy of that or not!
As for whether the other party's young age is worthy of trust, this is not a problem with her at all. Firstly, she believes in her own judgment, and secondly, she has been preparing for revenge since she was 10 years old. Isn't questioning others also questioning herself?
The other party provided her with equipment and revealed some information to her. It made her realize that her decision was correct, she gained the trust of the father and son, and the evidence collected in four years was not as great as what she gained after cooperating with the other party for a month, and this time... it's even more brilliant!
She's capable of switching a whole box of evidence without being detected!
Qian Mei quickly sealed the bag and put it back in the box, just about to lock the box into the safe, but her hand hesitated again. She pondered for a moment. Suddenly getting up to check the room, the corner of her mouth curled up, let her do that spark!
At the same time, Liu Song also arrived at his father's study, knocked on the door and went in to find a wealthy-looking man in his fifties chatting with his father. Liu Zhengxing smiled and greeted him: "Song'er, this is your Uncle Fan, come over and say hello, then bring over the things you brought back and hand them over to him!"
Liu Song was stunned on the spot. He had never seen this Uncle Fan before, nor had he heard his father mention him. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether his father's words were true or false.
Liu Zhenghang glared at his son with an unsatisfied look: "What are you standing there for, hurry up and go get it!"
"Uncle Fan is here! Dad, I'll be right back!" Liu Song retreated with a puzzled expression, his mind somewhat dazed. His father was always cautious and discreet, and the only people who knew about this secret meeting were the two of them, Qian Mei, and six trusted bodyguards. The number of people he had received could be counted on one hand, so what was this man's background?
His father and what he did might have some consequences, he was very clear, not letting Liu Xing participate, just worried that if the plan failed, he would also leave a root for the Liu family.
He and his father, in order to make the Liu family the seventh family outside of the six major families, abandoned all moral norms and principles, making the Liu family a family that people cannot ignore was their goal. However, today's behavior by his father made him somewhat skeptical. The box contained most of the results of their hard work over the years, did he really dare to hand it over?
Forget it, Father said whatever he wants to do is fine, he should trust his father's judgment!
"Ah!"
The moment the house door opened, Qian Mei's suitcase suddenly fell to the ground!
"What are you doing?" Liu Song rushed over quickly.
"No... nothing!" Qian Mei shook her head in a fluster: "I... I really didn't do anything!"
At this time, if you look closely at Qian Mei's eyes, you will find that there is not only no panic, but also joy and excitement!
Liu Song furiously pointed at the other person: "You this double-dealing thing, say, who arranged for you to come?"
Qian Mei lowered her head and didn't utter a word.
"What's wrong with you? The evidence is clear, there's no use trying to talk your way out of this. Tell me the truth and I can still plead for leniency from your father, otherwise, you should know what kind of consequences you'll face!"
Qian Mei made a lazy appearance, plopping herself down on the sofa: "The box should be filled with documents of the Liu family's real estate investments over the years, right? I just want to see if my guess is correct or not?"
"Do you think I'm a fool? Just to verify the guess, sneakily open the safe and use my own life to verify curiosity?" Liu Song sneered: "I really looked at you with new eyes, hiding deep enough!"
"Now that I've been caught by you, there's nothing much for me to say. Just do what you want!" Qian Mei put on a 'dead pig not afraid of boiling water' expression.
"Alright, you've got guts! Wait for it!" Liu Song called over three bodyguards to keep an eye on Qian Mei, picked up the box and headed out, but then thought better of it and turned back, opening the box and pulling out a document. Qian Mei's lips curled up in a mocking smile, wasn't her reaction a bit too slow?
One copy. Two copies, three copies...... Sweat poured down Liu Song's face, his hands shaking into a ball, this is absolutely impossible!
"It's fast enough. Where did you put it?" Liu Song Meng rushed forward and grabbed Qian Mei's hair, making her face him.
The charming smile on her lips grew thicker: "Young Master Liu, in such a short time, you've switched all the documents in the box. You overestimate me, don't you?"
Liu Song loosened his hand, calculated the time, and indeed it was impossible. Suddenly reacting that his father and guests were still waiting, he instructed the bodyguard and hurried to the study room.
"What's going on?" Seeing his son had been gone for half a day and came back empty-handed, Liu Zhenghang furrowed his brow.
Liu Song hesitated and glanced at the man with the surname Fan. Liu Zhengxing waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, just say it!"
"Dad, the documents have been switched."
"What?" Liu Zhengxing's voice suddenly rose by an octave.
"The file was switched, and when I went back just now, Qianmei opened the safe to take out the box to sneak a peek, and I caught her in the act. At first, I suspected it was her who switched it. But after calculating the time, it's simply impossible, which means the file was switched at the old house!" Liu Song's voice trembled slightly: "Dad, you don't know about this, do you?"
"Don't you think I've played house with you, going to the trouble of forging a bunch of documents for you to pick up?" Liu Zhengxing's voice had barely faded when his figure vanished out the door. Liu Song hastily followed, and the man surnamed Fan hesitated for a moment before following as well.
"Hey, bosses! " Qianmei sat on the sofa, laughing and teasing a few people. Liu Song quickly stepped forward and slapped her: "You cheap woman, I'll beat you to death!"
"Alright, being beaten to death by Master Liu is also my honor. And the boss behind you, I haven't seen him before, who are you?" The bright red blood flowing from the corner of his lips was paired with a dazzling smile, which was inexplicably eerie.
The man looked at Liu Zhenghang: "I'll leave first?"
Liu Zhengxing waved his hand, and then waved at the three bodyguards to leave. After they left, Liu Song quickly closed the door, and Qian Mei giggled: "Do the two bosses want to go up together or what?"
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Liu Zhengxing sat opposite Qian Mei: "Tell me who instructed you. Who exchanged the files? I won't blame you for past mistakes, and I'll definitely keep my word!"
Qian Mei sneered: "No past grievances? Secretary Liu, having followed you father and son for four years, I know your temper better than anyone. I reckon once you're done talking, it's straight to murder and silencing, right?"
Liu Song grabbed Qian Mei's hair and slapped her: "Don't be shameless, hurry up and speak!"
"Is this just the beginning? Haven't you had enough fun after all these years? But I've had enough, okay, let me tell you the truth, that is——" Qian Mei's expression changed, and she glared at Liu Zhenghang with hatred: "No one told me to do it, it was my own desire for your life! Since I got caught, I admit defeat."
However, I was fortunate enough to hear that the files were switched before my death, and I closed my eyes with a smile... haha... Heaven still treats me well, can't I say that? Not long from now, you'll also go down there to accompany me?"
"You're such a cheap woman!"
Liu Zhengxing reached out to stop Liu Song, who was about to get violent again, and stared at Qian Mei for a while: "You went to great lengths to gain our father-son trust, what's the reason you want our lives?"
"Old ginger indeed has a more settled temperament than young ginger. Actually, I would have said this even if you hadn't asked me. One must die with a clear conscience, right? Liu Zhengxing, do you still remember Sang Tianlan?"
"Xiang Tianlan? Are you...?" Liu Zhengxing's eyes suddenly showed a look of shock: "Qingqing?"
"That's right, I am Sang Qingqing, the daughter of Sang Tianlan and Sang Aibao... Hahaha..." Qian Mei's laughter was shrill: "It seems you haven't forgotten your beastly deed. How could you bring yourself to do that to a pregnant woman? The blood under my mother's body and her mournful cries, I will never, ever forget! I swear I will make you pay for it with your life, my lifelong goal is to make you pay for it with your life! Pay for it with your life!"
"Were you there at the time?"
"Yes, I was there. The scene scared me so much that I hid behind the door, so you didn't see me. The child in Mom's belly is yours, and after you messed her up like that, you just left, knowing she would die!"
Besides, I know my father was also killed by you. Although everyone says it was an accident, I know it was you who did it! That stone pit had never had any problems before. Why did you send my father down there and he got blown up? Is there such a coincidence in the world?"
Liu Zhengxing rubbed his nose: "Two people like that can give birth to a clever daughter like you, it's really beyond my expectation!"
"What kind of two people?" Qian Mei's eyes blazed with fury: "My father is honest and kind, my mother is weak and easily bullied, right? Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant with your child and not dared to speak up.
Did you have evil intentions from the moment you met my mother? Everything is a result of your careful planning, two lives were lost. At that time, I believed you hadn't become as ruthless and heartless as you are now, how did you escape the condemnation of your conscience?
Every time you see me, you go back to our village to investigate, do you think I don't know? Let me tell you, at the age of 14, I used myself to exchange for a new identity and let Sang Qingqing die successfully. From then on, there was no more Sang Qingqing in this world, only Qian Mei.
To avenge myself, I don't care about anything else. Otherwise, how could I have accompanied you for four years? Compared to me, aren't you ashamed? Playing with the person who killed your father and mother every day, this skill of mine is something that even I admire to death!
……
At the same time, Song Meng and Pan Jie's wedding chamber also came to an end. Everyone ended so early, also considering that Pan Jie was pregnant.
Lu Ye and Lu Qing, as the best man and maid of honor, had to accompany them all the way until the guests dispersed. Only then did the siblings bid farewell and head home. As they walked out of the Song family's building, they looked at the several large bags of candies in their hands and exchanged a bitter smile.
So much candy was stuffed into the two by Grandpa Song, who said that the more the best man and bridesmaid took away, the more great-grandchildren his family would have, uh, I guess Grandpa thought family planning didn't apply to his family!
"Yè ér, fēng ér, děng yī děng!"
Translation: "Leaf, Maple, wait a minute!"
The brother and sister hastily stopped in their tracks, seeing the two large bags in Wang Qi's hands. The siblings exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "No way, is he planning to let Song Mengying have an entire military district?"
"Auntie, we don't want them anymore, look..." Luo Ye hastily raised the two bags in her hands.
"What's wrong, that's sugar in there. These two bags are the new chestnuts I roasted for you guys. In a blink of an eye, you're already leaving." Wang Qi forced them into the hands of the siblings: "I heard from Wen Xing that you both love to eat chestnuts. Coincidentally, relatives who came to attend the wedding brought new chestnuts, so I took the opportunity to roast some for you guys. They're roasted with sugar, and they're sweet."
Luoye scolded: "Aunt, today is Song Meng's big happy day, you're so busy and still roasted chestnuts for us, really, you can roast them a few days later for us to eat!"
"I heard that it's going to rain or be cloudy for the next few days, so I was worried that if I didn't dry them quickly, they wouldn't taste good. Besides, if it weren't for you two, we wouldn't have such a happy day today. Auntie is busy but also happy. Alright, it's getting late, hurry back home!"
Luoye discontentedly complained, "Auntie, don't mention that matter again in the future. If you do so, we'll think we're not close to you anymore!"
Luofeng also chimed in, "Yes, Auntie, Yeye and I originally thought that we were particularly close to your family, but you always bring up that matter. It makes people feel like the closeness is because we saved Songmeng Ge and his wife, and that's why you're being so affectionate towards us. This feeling isn't very good!"
"Alright, alright, let's just drop it. These two kids, hurry back now!" Wang Qi helplessly patted one of them: "Hurry up and go, hurry up and go!"
"That's right! Goodbye, Auntie!"
"Brother, I've discovered that you're making me look at you in a new light more and more!"
Luofeng was about to reach out and touch his sister's head, but found that he couldn't lift his hand. He chuckled and said, "Looks like Ye'er is really strong, carrying so much and still able to poke people!"
The brother and sister returned home, Wen Xin and Luo Zheng were still awake, the whole family was in a good mood, laughing and chattering for half a day before returning to their rooms to rest.
Luoye finished washing her hair and blow-dried it for a few days. She casually pressed the receiver on her bedside table, and the screen immediately displayed the images of Qianmei, Liu Zhenghang, and Liu Song.
Luoye understood Qianmei's intention after listening to a few sentences. This silly girl, she advised her not to humiliate herself again and to live bravely, but it seems she didn't listen at all. Looking at today's scene, it's clear that she wanted to use her own life to draw a magnificent ending for this matter in advance.
He quickly picked up his phone and dialed Ye Xuan's number: "Brother Ye, something's gone wrong. Qian Miao wants to use her own life to put an end to this matter ahead of time. She's currently arguing with Liu Zhenghang about the cause of their parents' death back then. Can you send someone over right away?"
"I know, I'll send someone over right away, don't worry!" Ye Xuan said and hung up the phone decisively.
Luoye stared at the screen with a tense expression, tears streaming down her face. Compared to Qianmei, she was lucky, whether in this life or the previous one, she was always lucky.
The time when Qian Mei from her past life was exposed should be two years later. She was quietly dealt with by Liu Zheng Xing and his son, she knew this because Liu Xing told her when he was persuading her to leave, also saying how much he hated his own father and brother. But they were his family members, he had no choice!
This is also the reason why she occasionally can't bear to take revenge on Liu Zhenghang. As for Liu Hang, she really can't find any fault with him. In her previous life, in order to persuade her to leave, he told her all the ugly and evil things that happened in his family, just to make her believe him and leave obediently. She didn't know at that time whether the young man understood the consequences of saying all this, but he did it anyway.
Later on, she also tried to find evidence from Qian Mei's affairs, but unfortunately, the time was too long, and Liu Zhengxing had already handled it perfectly, so she could only give up.
After returning, I didn't think of Qian Mei for a while, and it's also her own fault that she was disturbed by too many things. This time, I hope Qian Mei won't die.
However, if Qian Mei were given the choice between life and death, she might choose death. After so many years of humiliation and hatred, now that her revenge is over, there's probably nothing left to support her in going on.
But even so, she couldn't just watch her die. This was really a choiceless situation!
Watching Liu Zhenghang's whip lash down on Qian Mei, Luo Ye seemed to feel the blood flowers splashing before her eyes. Since Liu Zhenghang couldn't get anything out of her by questioning, he started using force, but didn't dare let Qian Mei die, so he took the flogging himself.
"Dad, Mom, I've fulfilled my wish. I think. I'll be going to find you soon, and our family will be reunited soon."
Maybe you're watching me, maybe you're not, but I want to entrust, my legacy, all donated to the orphanage, my account I believe you have a way.
When I was young, although I received help from many kind-hearted people, I also encountered many unpleasant things. I know the difficulties of being an orphan and hope that when I leave, I can do something for them.
Don't be sad for me, I'm not unwilling to listen to you, it's just that I really can't hear. In this world, I can neither see the sunlight nor the moonlight. You are my lucky star, gone to heaven, and I will pray for you...
"Dad, what is she muttering about?" Liu Song looked around the room: "Is she hallucinating or seeing a ghost?"
Liu Zhenghang suddenly stiffened, as if he had realized something, and a look of panic flashed across his face. Without saying a word, he dragged Qian Mei away, and Liu Song quickly followed suit.
Lu Ye stared at the empty room on the screen, her heart racing with anxiety. She wasn't worried about who Liu Zhenghang would find out was on the other end of the surveillance, but rather that Ye Xuan might really not make it in time.
Qian Mei's words just now were clearly a farewell to her, it seems she has made up her mind to die, in that case, she naturally won't drag things out and struggle on.
But now she can't do anything, can't help in any way. The matter of Liu Zhenghang is settled tonight, no question about it. No matter what happens with Qianmiao, the video is already here, and once presented, there's no need for investigation, Liu Zhenghang will be sentenced to death!
That was two lives, and even though it's been over a decade, he is still unforgivable!
Luoye sat on the bed in a daze, her mind occasionally flashing back to the moment she shot and killed him. Could it be that heaven really wanted her to take his life in this lifetime, just as he had taken hers in the previous one?
Calling Ye Xuan would only delay his actions, she could only wait foolishly, and didn't know how much time had passed. The phone suddenly rang, Luo Ye's hands trembled as she pressed the answer button, her voice choked with emotion: "Is she alive?"
Yexuan let out a soft sigh: "There should still be hope, those two father and son are probably not going to get away with it after the trial, they're currently being searched for, don't worry too much!"
"Which hospital is it? I'll go there right away!" Luo Ye bit her lip tightly, and in that instant, she felt a pang of sympathy for Qian Mei, not wanting her to die.
"St Mary's Hospital is nearby!" Luo Ye didn't wait for Ye Xuan to say anything else, hung up the phone, put on his shoes and rushed out.
