Chapter 168: A Trap

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The sky in the villa seed darker than in the city.

There was a glass house in the middle of the courtyard—except for the beautiful green plants around it, there were no other structure beside it. It looked like an island amidst the green garden-like courtyard, like a beautifully-built magnificent cage

In the dark night, Xie Wanwan sat all alone inside the bright white halo of the house made of glass as she looked up at the dark sky outside. She could not hear anyone, not even the sound of a breeze...

She could not see what was outside, but they could see her from the outside.

She was lonely and quiet, like a rootless floating plant in water, sitting helplessly with her head drooped down...

Zhou Dequan stood outside the glass house with his hands behind him as he looked at Xie Wanwan. He suddenly turned around and glared at two of his subordinates.

“Why is she wearing clothes? What did I tell all of you?”

“Brother Six...” The subordinates spoke haltingly, “We daren’t do that.”

“Why? What’s there to be afraid to be of?” Zhou Dequan snorted unhappily and took a look at Xie Wanwan who was sitting inside. “What’s so great about being a celebrity? I want to remove her wings and see how she can still act arrogantly in front of ! Want to fly? No way! Hurry up and remove her clothes.”

The two subordinates looked at him, troubled by his command, while Zhou Dequan got impatient.

“What are you two still in a daze? Don’t want your lives anymore? Go remove her clothes! After that, let her stay inside for another hour and call when the ti’s up.”

He left with a displeased grunt.

He went to the main villa, drank so wine, and got the housemaids to make him a few dishes. He had a drink by himself and was in a good mood.

He was not in a hurry to look at Xie Wanwan. What he wanted was not only to obtain that woman’s body... He enjoyed the process of dostication and bringing won to their knees. He enjoyed seeing how these proud won who were like peacocks being stripped of their feathers one by one, kneeling down before him, their self-esteem torn away. Besides begging for rcy, they dare not do anything else to disobey him...

That was what he was looking for.

What he wanted to do was he wanted to show he was her king, as well as her master.

...

An hour soon passed by.

Two subordinates stood outside the door took a look at Zhou Dequan whose face was red from the wine, and entered the room with their heads lowered. “Brother Six...”

Zhou Dequan turned to look at them, his eyes narrowed to a squint. “How is it? Is she obedient now?”

“Yes,” a subordinate replied. Zhou Dequan was satisfied to hear that. He put down his glass of wine on the table heavily and left the room, with his hands at his back. As he was a little tipsy, he walked a little unsteadily as he made his way to the glass house...

The lights in the glass house were all out, leaving only a tiny ball of light.

In the dim light, he could make out a dim view of a back view of a woman with her hair hanging loose.

Zhou Dequan squinted his eyes and turned his head. “What’s going on!?” He shouted in irritation, “Why are the lights off? Spoils my mood!”

The subordinates’ shoulders went stiff as though they were terrified. “Br-Brother Six, Miss Xie said that this will be, will be more romantic. And she won’t be so nervous...”

“Romantic?” Zhou Dequan took another glance at the glass house and put on a wicked smile. “Fine, romantic! This b*tch knows her place!”

“...”

The two subordinates kept their mouth shut and lowered their heads.

Zhou Dequan placed his hands at his back again as he humd a tune and walked toward the glass house. “Wait outside!”

“Yes!”

“Oh, call more brothers over here to watch. Just you two is not thrilling enough.”

“... Yes.”

Zhou Dequan’s eyes were flashing with excitent, not sure what obscene things that ca to his mind. He stroked his chin and his footsteps were now light and brisk. He opened the door to the glass house and caressed his pot belly as he went in. He took a look and realized sothing seed to be amiss...

Didn’t he give orders to his n to strip her of her clothes? Why was Xie Wanwan still wearing clothes?

Didn’t he get his n to tie her up? Why was that not done as well?

There was more... Her slender waist and figure, why did it seem to have beco thicker?

Zhou Dequan had drunk so wine to want to enjoy himself more. Now, he was quite drunk that he was unable to see clearly, and the lights were too dim as well. He thought it must be his eyes playing tricks on him. He pursed his lips and smiled, and walked toward the woman sitting on the bed.

“Little beauty, big brother is here. Turn around and let this big brother have a good look at you...”

Before he finished his words, the woman suddenly turned around and stared at him, her gaze sharp as knives.

“Zhou Dequan, have you seen clearly now?”

The woman must have been quite a beauty when she was young. Her features were well-defined and exquisite. Even though she was now a middle-aged lady, her face and figure were still quite well-maintained with an elegant deanor. However, youth was lost with age—her aged face could never be a match against a youthful woman...

Of course, there were also rage, embarrassnt, disbelief... and many other complicated emotions on her face.

“Co on! Take a good look! Look carefully if I am the little beauty that you speak of!”

“Suying?” Zhou Dequan was now more clear-headed due to the shock. Now, he could see clearly that the scantily dressed woman was his own wife, Ma Suying. He was so infuriated that he spat and felt blood gushing up his head. He made a big fuss, picking up the clothes on the floor, and tried to cover her with the clothes. “What are you doing? How can you wear this and let others see you? Hurry up, wear them first then talk...”

“Hurhur!”

Ma Suying sneered and just stared at him. Her face was filled with pain and anguish.

“Won’t you be all fired up looking at other won? Why? Can’t bear to let others look at your own wife?”

Zhou Dequan behaved in an almighty manner before others, but before Ma Suying, he seed to have transford into a wuss—his face was all red and was ashad of himself.

“Suying, this is not you think it is... Hear out...”

“No need to say anything more, I know everything already.” Ma Suying looked at him, gritting her teeth as she replied. “When they told about it, I had originally refused to believe that you had the guts to do that. Looks like I’ve really underestimated you... Zhou Dequan, tell , are you still human?”

“They?” A cold glint flashed past Zhou Dequan’s eyes. “Who are they?”

“Never mind who they are. Just tell what you’re trying to do.”

“Suying...” Zhou Dequan looked all despondent, sighing away as his head drooped down. “You’ve been fooled by them! I...”

“Don’t bother to explain. I’m not a fool!” Ma Suying’s eyes were red like a burning knife as she glared at him. “Zhou Dequan, I’m only 18 when I married you. We have been married for so long. I watched you worked hard from an unknown mason to being CEO Zhou today. Tell , how can I not know you well?”

Zhou Dequan slowly pulled back his hands on her shoulder.

He stared at Ma Suying’s eyes, seemingly unwilling to behave like a wuss in front of her anymore as his face turned cold.

“What do you want?”

Ma Suying’s eyes turned red. She continued to look at him without blinking her eyelids. “Do you still rember our promise back then?”

Zhou Dequan did not say anything. He just looked at her.

“I should have known. You won’t be able to rember it after all these years. It has been so long ago even for to rember how you looked back then...” Ma Suying looked straight at him as if she was dying to see the young Zhou Dequan who was willing to work hard and endure hardships. “It has been too long, too long. All of us have changed.”

She said it word by word and smiled bitterly.

“Although you’ve forgotten your promise, I still rember it. I rember you said that if one day you were to ever betray , you’ll be condemned and not die in peace... I have also said if such a day were to arrive, I will perish together with you... We’ll die together.”

Zhou Dequan seed a little anxious when he heard such determined words. He looked around and tried to calm himself down. “It’s such a small matter. Don’t you think that’s uncalled for?”

“A small matter?” Ma Suying looked at him and sneered again.

“Sigh!” Zhou Dequan seed to soften his stance. “Suying, we still have our son and daughter. Even if you don’t think of , shouldn’t you think about them?”

“Our son and daughter? You have the cheek to ntion them?” Ma Suying was so angry that she laughed in exasperation. “Zhou Dequan, I know what kind of person you are. You also know what kind of person I am. You ntioning our son and daughter won’t influence my decision... Besides, both of them are all grown up and leading their own lives. We can’t be looking out for them forever. But you...”

Ma Suying’s gaze turned harsher. “I’ll never let a jerk like you off the hook.”

She emphasized the last few words which made Zhou Dequan’s expression change once again.

At this mont, he still had no idea who had betrayed him. Why did he see Xie Wanwan inside the glass house when he ca back but an hour later, the woman inside had beco his wife... Nevertheless, it was clear that soone amongst his subordinates betrayed him by tipping-off to Ma Suying. They even switched Xie Wanwan with his wife which ended in him being caught red-handed by her.

He felt there was no need to defend himself anymore. “Tell , what are you going to do?” he asked in a calm tone.

“What do you think?” Ma Suying did not directly answer his question but looked at him in a chilly way. “Of course, I will seek vengeance for my brother...”

To seek revenge for Jia An?

Zhou Dequan quivered suddenly at her words. He seed to understand what could have happened.

—She must have learned about Jia An’s death and had forced his n to talk.

“Suying, listen to . This matter is really not what you’re thinking. This is a plot. I’ve fallen into soone’s trap...”

“Trap? Haha! So you want to talk to about how you’ve fallen into soone’s trap, at this ti? I’ve seen it personally with my own eyes... Is that a trap? Zhou Dequan, you really think I’m a fool? You’ve fooled for so many years and you still think it’s not enough?” Ma Suying’s tone sounded shrill, and her smile was so cold that it seed a little hideous, causing Zhou Dequan’s hair to stand on end. “I will never believe you again!” She snarled, “You should think about when you’re going to fulfill your promise to ...”

Zhou Dequan gasped and suddenly took her hands. “Suying, forgive ? I won’t do it again. I an every word I say. I only love you and you only...”

“If I forgive you,” sneered Ma Suying. “Will the police forgive you?”

“I’ll think of ways to handle the police. It’s just a small matter. They can’t do anything to . As long as you’re willing to forgive this ti...” Zhou Dequan suddenly knelt in front of his wife, still holding her hands.

“Suying, please, only this once. We’ve been husband and wife for so many years. I’ve never done anything unfaithful to you. This ti... This ti, I’ve been seduced by Xie Wanwan, that b*tch. I can’t control myself and didn’t think properly. I promise, I promise there’ll be no next ti...”

“You’re still lying!”

Ma Suying’s anger was still raging on. She tried to shake his grip away but did not expect that Zhou Dequan to take advantage of the situation and pull her along, causing her to fall to the ground. His fat body was so agile at this mont as he quickly got up in a few movents and sat on Ma Suying’s body, his hands strangling her neck.

“Didn’t you want to die? I’ll give you a hand!”

He used all of his strength to strangle her, totally bent on wanting her dead. Ma Suying could no longer breathe properly as she stared at this man whose face was now monstrous and dreadful to see. In no ti, she started to look pale...

“You... Hear ...”

“Go and die! Go and die!” Zhou Dequan held her tightly, not allowing her any opportunity to struggle or talk.

Ma Suying’s eyes were wide-opened; she tried very hard to say those words she wanted to say but nothing ca out.

“... I pleaded with you, but you’re not willing. You wanted to die with instead... Do you really think you are capable of killing ...”

Zhou Dequan strangled her as he cussed away. At this mont, he heard sounds of footsteps outside the glass house.

The door was opened all of a sudden, and the cold wind outside could be felt instantly accompanied by a shout.

“Police! Hold your hands up!”

Many police officers barged in.

Besides Bai Muchuan and Tang Yuanchu, there was also the ard SWAT team.

They surrounded the entire glasshouse and rescued Ma Suying who was almost unconscious and arrested Zhou Dequan.

“Is there anything you wanted to say?” Bai Muchuan looked at him coldly.

“You...” Zhou Dequan spat a word angrily but was unable to say anything more.

He had thought this was just a conflict between him and his wife, but never did he expect that his private villa had been infiltrated by the police. However, all his doubts were answered the mont when he saw Xie Wanwan coming in and looking at him coldly.

—This ti, he had fallen into a trap!

He was tricked by Bai Muchuan.

Even his wife, Ma Suying, did not know of this villa. How did Bai Muchuan co to know of this secret villa of his?

“You’re following ? Or is Huang He the one who told you about it?”

He did not attempt to defend himself but wanted to get his doubts cleared up.

However, Bai Muchuan would not let him have his way.

He gave a cold grunt and took a glance at Ma Suying who was gasping for air. “Shouldn’t you show so concern for your wife whom you nearly killed?”

Zhou Dequan’s eyes were cold, and he did not even take a look at his wife. “Why do I want to be concerned with a woman who betrayed ?”

“She did not betray you,” smiled Bai Muchuan. “Right till the mont you were about to strangle her to death, she did not tell us anything...”

Hmph! Zhou Dequan smiled coldly as he kneaded his prayer beads slowly. “You can talk to my lawyer if you want to know anything,” said Zhou Dequan calmly, “I have nothing to say!”
