Chapter 524: Chapter 523: Disappearing in an Instant
Time slowly passed, and before one knew it, the night had vanished, and with the rising sun, a sapphire blue Lamborghini drove into the villa.
After parking the car, Liu Zheng hopped out first and walked to the passenger side, opening the door.
As Li Bingyue exited the vehicle, the group of bodyguards respectfully called out, "Miss!"
"Mm," Li Bingyue nodded slightly before looking at the extravagant and imposing villa, her face displaying a mix of complex emotions.
Both she and her father were from ordinary families, growing up in the countryside. They became orphans at an early age, and due to poverty, both she and her brother excelled in their studies since childhood.
However, due to the premature death of their parents and the restrictive financial conditions of their family, she and her brother had to drop out of school to work and earn money to support their family.
Because of their parents’ death, the siblings never had friends again, and even during their time in junior high and senior high, they were forced to drop out due to financial troubles.
Despite this, they continued to work hard, trying to save money.
Unfortunately, a year ago, a mistake led their company to bankruptcy and huge debts, leaving them jobless.
It was then, Liu Zheng found them and lent them a large sum of money, supporting their continued education in school.
However, after a failed job, Liu Zheng was pursued and ultimately he was severely injured and lost his right hand to his assailants.
After that, Liu Zheng could never work again, only resting at home.
But his leg injuries were severe, seriously limiting his mobility.
In this situation, Li Bingyue found ways to help Liu Zheng, sending him abroad for treatment.
Following that, they returned to their original city.
For years, the siblings made their living by working, but they could never escape their plight.
Yet Liu Zheng, in order to take care of her, had always kept his promise, continuously giving them money.
Not until a few years ago did they finally escape the thugs’ pursuit, but they also had to sell off their property due to the inability to shoulder the massive debts.
However, it was during this crisis that their company faced, needing funds desperately... that’s why they borrowed money from Liu Zheng again, but this time they wouldn’t mortgage their own lives for the loan.
What they didn’t know was that they had already caught the thugs’ attention.
These past days, Li Bingyue came to the hospital daily to accompany Liu Zheng, but after all, being a girl, she couldn’t stay at the hospital too long lest it affect the patient’s recovery.
Today was the day of Liu Zheng’s discharge, and he suggested that Li Bingyue take him to their new residence, but Li Bingyue refused, saying she had other matters to attend to, so she hurried off.
After Li Bingyue left, Liu Zheng walked alone towards their home.
Yet, as he passed through a bamboo grove, his steps suddenly faltered, his face revealing an indescribable expression.
"How could it be you?" whispered Liu Zheng, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, a look of surprise flashing across his face.
Not far in front of Liu Zheng stood a man in a black suit, his hands clasped behind his back, his handsome face cold and domineering, a strong chill emanating from him.
The man was flanked by four bodyguards.
"Liu Zheng, do you remember me?" the man’s indifferent voice sounded, making Liu Zheng shiver.
Liu Zheng turned around, his features twisted with an indescribable expression, "Li... Liu Zheng?! What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here? Heh... Liu Zheng, I seem to have forgotten that this is your territory; I just came to see you, that’s all!" the man said with a cold laugh, his tone laden with thick sarcasm.
Liu Zheng took a deep breath, "I indeed didn’t expect that you’d have the guts to come back!"
"Heh heh..." Liu Zheng scoffed disdainfully, "Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng, I told you back then not to anger me, otherwise, I’d make sure you have nowhere to lay your corpse!"
"I don’t know what you’re talking about!" Liu Zheng frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Oh, really? You don’t know? I remember you telling me that! I said you would die a miserable death, I would make your life worse than death!"
A look of embarrassment flashed across Liu Zheng’s face, "Don’t spout nonsense! Back then, I just didn’t want to implicate innocent people!"
"Is that so? Then why, after we broke up, did those thugs catch me? Do you think they genuinely wanted to help me? I suggest you stop lying to me. I’ve checked into it, and you arranged for those thugs to catch me, to take revenge on me, didn’t you?!"
"I don’t know what you’re talking about!" Liu Zheng’s voice was stern.
"You don’t know?" Liu Zheng’s eyes narrowed, "I remember very clearly, you once told me those thugs wouldn’t dare touch me because of you. Unfortunately, you were wrong! I’m not a fool, of course I wouldn’t believe that!"
"You’re talking nonsense!" Liu Zheng retorted angrily.
"Talking nonsense?" Liu Zheng sneered, "Liu Zheng, don’t bother with excuses! All these years, although I wasn’t here, how could your little tricks escape my eyes?!"
"I haven’t done anything shady!" Liu Zheng clenched his teeth and said.
"Haven’t done anything shady? Heh heh... Liu Zheng, you’re the most brazenly shameless person I’ve ever met! Do you think nobody knows what you’ve done? You not only stole my fiancée, but you also bribed the police in secret, framing me as a kidnapper!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng was completely dumbfounded, his face instantly turning pale.
He never expected that Liu Zheng would bring this matter up; he also didn’t anticipate being caught out so quickly.
But after all, he was Liu Zheng, the one who commanded respect in the business world, with an exceptionally strong will. He quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "Liu Zheng, stop slandering me! I don’t even know you, let alone your so-called fiancée, and I definitely haven’t bribed any police!"
At these words, a mocking smile emerged on Liu Zheng’s face, "Ha ha, Liu Zheng, we’re divorced now. Do you think there’s any need to keep up this charade any longer?"
"Divorced?" Liu Zheng paused, then gave a bitter smile, "Liu Zheng, don’t think I don’t know about the relationship between you and that actress, it was just mutual exploitation!"
"You..." A venomous look flashed in Liu Zheng’s eyes.
Liu Zheng sneered dismissively, "Liu Zheng, do you think you’re the only smart one in this world? Do you think this trick of yours could really deceive anyone? Hmph... don’t say you’re just an ordinary person, even if you were a top-notch businessman, I could still destroy you!"
After hearing this, Liu Zheng’s complexion drastically changed.
He never imagined that the other party would know everything he had done so thoroughly!
"Indeed, you’re absolutely right! Back then, I did indeed target your weakness, which is why I dared to pressure you, even unscrupulously hiring those thugs to eliminate you brutally, but don’t forget, I have evidence of your crimes in my hands!"
"You..." Liu Zheng’s face turned ashen, his fists clenched tight.
Liu Zheng was right; back then, he did have something that fell into Liu Zheng’s hands!
Of course, this was a secret between them and didn’t affect their collaborative relationship.
But now, with the other party breaking the silence, he had to take this matter seriously!
"Do you think I came to you simply for revenge?" A vicious grin spread across Liu Zheng’s face, "Indeed, I admit at first the actress and I were just acting, but that doesn’t mean I can’t use this opportunity to teach you a lesson!"
"What do you mean?" Liu Zheng furrowed his brow and asked.
"Hmph, do you think I don’t know about the incident that occurred with you that night? Liu Zheng, you claim to be a business genius, right? Then just wait and see how I deliver those materials to the police station and whether they will investigate you and bring you to justice!"
"You..." Liu Zheng’s face turned an even deeper shade of pale.
He never expected that Liu Zheng would have intimate photos of him and that actress!
"How about it? Scared now? Heh heh... don’t worry, I will leave you a whole corpse!" With those final words, Liu Zheng walked away with big strides.
