Chapter 69: Chapter 68: Lure the Enemy into the Pot
Su Qingxue asked, "And you are?"
"I’m her older sister! Who might you be?" the woman asked.
"I’m her best friend," Su Qingxue said hurriedly. "Is she ho?"
"She is, she’s upstairs. Co on in and have a seat. I’ll go get her!"
"Okay!" Su Qingxue found the woman to be exceptionally kind. She’s so kind, I feel like I want to be friends with her. she thought, drawn in by the woman’s enticing aura.
As she sat nervously in the living room, Su Qingxue dreaded having to face Luo Yazhi. But this is my fault. I have to face her, whether I’m afraid or not.
anwhile, Luo Yazhi was kneeling in her room, repenting.
The Western woman’s deanor shifted the mont she entered the room. She spoke to Luo Yazhi in a cold voice, "Soone is here to see you. Don’t you dare give anything away!"
"Who?" Luo Yazhi asked, startled.
"Go down and see for yourself!" the Western woman replied.
Luo Yazhi imdiately got up and headed to the living room. When she saw Su Qingxue, her heart sank with a terrible feeling. Just then, Su Qingxue said guiltily, "Sister Yazhi, I’m so sorry. What happened between you and that scoundrel Ye Fan was all my fault!"
She steeled herself, ready to accept Luo Yazhi’s scolding or even being hit. She could accept it all.
Luo Yazhi spoke quickly, "You have to leave! You can’t be here. This isn’t a place for you. Go now! We can talk about this so other day!"
"Sister Yazhi, are you not going to forgive ?" Su Qingxue asked. She felt that Luo Yazhi hadn’t forgiven her, which made her guilt weigh even heavier.
Seeing the Western woman descending the stairs, Luo Yazhi said to Su Qingxue in a rush, "There’s nothing to forgive. Just don’t take it to heart. You should go now! I’ll see you out." She began pushing Su Qingxue toward the door.
At that mont, however, Su Qingxue added, "It only benefited that scoundrel Ye Fan, while you were the one who got hurt!"
"The wind is too loud! I can’t hear what you’re saying! Just go!" Luo Yazhi’s heart pounded with terror. She can’t hear anything about Ye Fan, or there will be disastrous consequences.
Su Qingxue didn’t understand the strange comnt about the wind, but one look at Luo Yazhi’s eyes made her understand everything instantly. Playing along, she said, "Alright then, Sister Yazhi. I’ll co find you another day!"
She turned to leave but was blocked at the door by the Western woman.
"You know Ye Fan?" the woman said. "Judging by your words, you must be quite familiar with him."
"Sister, she doesn’t know him! Let her go!" Luo Yazhi pleaded.
"Shut up!" the Western woman snapped. She then turned back to Su Qingxue. "You can’t leave now. Stay and have a nice little chat with . A heart-to-heart."
"I... I don’t know you!" Su Qingxue said, panicking.
"Oh, we’ll get acquainted soon enough."
Following a scream from Su Qingxue, the room fell silent.
The Western woman sipped red wine while Luo Yazhi stood beside her, fraught with panic and lost in thought. On another sofa, Su Qingxue was tied up. The woman reached out with her slender fingers and pinched Su Qingxue’s chin. "So beautiful," she said. "No wonder you have the King of Heaven completely smitten!"
"Who are you?" Su Qingxue asked coldly.
"Who I am doesn’t matter. What matters is that I can use you to lure the King of Heaven into my trap. You’re my ace in the hole. With you here, how could he not fall for it? Hahaha!" the woman laughed.
"You’re despicable!" Su Qingxue retorted. "He won’t fall for it! Just give up!"
"Whether he falls for it or not is none of your concern. And don’t worry, I couldn’t bear to kill you. You’re far too beautiful, a classic Eastern beauty! If I were a man, I’d want to make you mine!"
So the ’King of Heaven’ must be Ye Fan’s other identity, and this woman is clearly his enemy. She wants to use
to lure Ye Fan here and kill him. Su Qingxue realized with a sense of dread. Just as she was trying to figure out how to warn Ye Fan, the Western woman lightly touched a pressure point on her neck. She fainted, collapsing into the woman’s arms.
The woman stroked Su Qingxue’s hair. "So breathtakingly beautiful, even when unconscious. With you in my hands, how can the King of Heaven possibly survive?"
At that mont, Luo Yazhi spoke up. "Sister, don’t hurt her! She has nothing to do with this!"
"That’s not your concern. Speaking of which, what happened to you? You’re not a virgin anymore. You were the last ti I was here, but not now. Looking at how weak you are, I’d guess you only just offered up your body yesterday! She just said she orchestrated the whole thing between you and the King of Heaven. Don’t you think you owe
an explanation?"
Luo Yazhi was paralyzed with terror.
Seeing her expression, the Western woman continued, "I see. So you gave yourself to the King of Heaven, completely forgetting the task I gave you! You have truly broken this sister’s heart! You cast my mission aside. In your eyes, our sisterly bond is no match for your precious man. How generous of you, giving yourself to the King of Heaven without even taking the opportunity to kill him. My original plan was to have you inform the King of Heaven that his woman was in my hands. But now it seems you’re his woman, too. Now that I have two of his won, he’ll be in an even worse position. There’s no way he won’t take the bait!"
"Sister! I’m your sister! You can’t use
to threaten him—"
Before Luo Yazhi could finish, a wave of dizziness washed over her and she fainted. As she fell, her mind shattered in despair. My so-called sister... using
as a hostage for her plan? So much for our deep sisterly bond!
In the silent room, the Western woman’s lips curled into a seductive smile, adding to her allure. Lying nearby were two won: Su Qingxue and Luo Yazhi. She was very pleased. For the King of Heaven, these two were the perfect bait—irreplaceable.
Ye Fan had assud Su Qingxue had just gone out for a walk, but when she hadn’t returned by late night, he grew anxious. Left with no choice, he called her phone.
It rang and rang, but no one answered. Just as he was about to dial a second ti, a call ca through from her number.
Ye Fan answered. "Qingxue, where are you?"
A voice with a distinct Western accent replied in Chinese, "King of Heaven!"
Ye Fan’s heart stopped. She knows who I am. At this point, any attempt to hide it would be futile. "That’s right, I’m the King of Heaven," he said. "What of it?"
"If anything happens to her, I don’t care who you are—you’re dead!" Ye Fan snarled.
The voice on the other end replied, "Spoken like the King of Heaven, domineering even when angry. But you’d better not get angry just yet. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee she’ll be returned to you in one piece!"
"Fine," Ye Fan said. "What do you want?"
They had kidnapped Su Qingxue, so they obviously had a goal. He just didn’t know what it was.
