Shen Yunyun shot him a glare before communicating with Karl through her light brain. [Why haven’t you made a move yet?] [Already preparing to act. Should I leave evidence?] [Of course.] [Alright, I understand. Don’t worry.]
Tang Yu sensed an odd atmosphere between them, as if they could perceive each other’s thoughts without speaking, and jealousy gnawed at him. This was his ancestor, yet she didn’t share such a bond with him—how could she have it with an outsider?
On the verge of fury, Tang Yu had no idea that Wei Lingling interpreted his reaction as textbook jealousy. That pair of scumbags, claiming they had nothing going on? Daring to toy with her? She’d make them pay.
She was just plotting how to get her hands on the Tang family treasure and then teach them a lesson when she suddenly felt something envelop her head. It felt like she was suffocating, and she quickly lost consciousness.
When she opened her eyes again, she was met with Tang Yu’s furious and heartbroken gaze. “Brother Yu, what just happened? Why did I suddenly black out?” “Brother Yu, why are you looking at me like that? I’m so scared.” “How much longer are you going to pretend? Why? Why did you lie to me?” Tang Yu roared.
Wei Lingling was stunned by his outburst. Had he found out something? Impossible—they had no proof.
“Tell me, why did you lie to me? You’ve been deceiving me from the start, haven’t you?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “It seems you won’t confess until you see the evidence.” Tang Yu angrily shoved his phone in front of her.
The image on the screen made Wei Lingling’s eyes widen in shock—it was a video of her opening the safe that day. No, this video was wrong; it was filmed from her perspective. Who took it?
“This isn’t real, it’s not real. Think about it—if I really did it, would I film myself leaving evidence?” “Oh, really? Then what about this?” Tang Yu showed her another video, this time of her stealing Tang Sen Corporation’s secrets.
There was also the scene at the mall, after Tang Yu left following a phone call, when she met with Xiao Changji. Xiao Changji had ordered her to marry Tang Yu at all costs and obtain the Tang family treasure. She asked him what the treasure was. He replied that he wasn’t entirely sure, but legend said it granted immortality.
Together, they had plotted against Tang Yu, mixing fake medicine with real ones to sell, planning to report Tang Sen Corporation for selling counterfeit drugs and waiting for Tang Yu to go bankrupt. She was certain that then, Tang Yu would have no choice but to produce the treasure.
“No, impossible, this can’t be.” Wei Lingling screamed. Tang Yu shoved her to the ground in fury. “Do I need to show you the surveillance footage?” “There can’t be surveillance—I turned it off in advance.” “No surveillance? Then I still have witnesses.”
Soon, the Tang family’s servants and security guards came forward to testify against Wei Lingling. “No, they can’t be witnesses—they’re your people, of course they’ll side with you.” “Aunt Wang happened to be video-calling her daughter that day and caught you on camera.” “That’s impossible.”
Tang Yu threw the evidence in her face. Seeing she couldn’t deny it any longer, Wei Lingling stopped pretending. She stopped crying and stood up on her own. “So what if I did it? Tang Yu, ask yourself—have you been fair to me? I gave you my true feelings, and you betrayed our seven-year relationship for another woman. We could have walked down the aisle, but you betrayed me. You fell for her—no matter the situation, one call from her and you’d drop everything to run to her. Where does that leave me? Where does that leave me?”
