Chapter 73: Prime Married Man Becomes an Informant

Song Huan Yan almost didn't laugh at such clumsy tactics...

But in Chu Yue's position, she couldn't employ any sophisticated methods either.

The tactics are over; she ends up losing more than she gains.

It seems crude on the surface, yet there are countless considerations.

Chu Yue only wanted to anger her, make her feel uneasy, then cause a dispute with Nan Gong Yu or have Nan Gong Yu drive Chu Yue away.

But Chu Yue is Nan Gong Yu's capable subordinate; she can't just be sent away.

Moreover, everything Chu Yue did just now seemed not wrong—just accidentally spilled water and hurriedly apologized.

If she forcibly orders Chu Yue out, it would seem unreasonable.

And Chu Yue would beg in every way, certainly wouldn't leave easily; back and forth they'd tug, and everyone ends up unhappy.

So Chu Yue's recent maneuver, aside from being a bit too tea‑flavored, was flawless otherwise.

But unfortunately Chu Yue miscalculated; she has no feelings for Nan Gong Yu, so why would she feel uneasy?

"Not intentional? Then it's deliberate," Song Huan Yan said on purpose.

Chu Yue hurriedly explained, "Sorry, Young Madam. I accidentally hurt my hand when I closed the door; I didn't hold the cup steady."

She even showed her hand to Song Huan Yan and Nan Gong Yu, indeed... it was pinched.

Song Huan Yan raised an eyebrow; it seemed pre‑planned.

"No need to apologize to me," Song Huan Yan said, "the water didn't spill on me; just apologize to Lord Yu."

Chu Yue's voice was small as she said, "I'm afraid you'll get angry because you care about Lord Yu..."

The rest of Chu Yue fell silent; the implication was that Song Huan Yan wasn't angry because she didn't feel sorry for her own man.

Song Huan Yan was speechless for two seconds, then looked at Nan Gong Yu, "Lord Yu, go change into clean clothes quickly."

"Alright. I'll hang up first, good night," Nan Gong Yu nodded; being wet was indeed uncomfortable.

"Mm," Song Huan Yan said, "hang up, good night."

Nan Gong Yu reached out and hung up the phone.

That left Chu Yue stunned.

So... that's how it ended?

Not only not angry, but didn't even say a few more words?

Is this indifference... or rather contempt?

Song Huan Yan basically didn't bother to say much to her?

Chu Yue tugged tightly at her hem, "Song Huan Yan, I wonder how long you can tolerate!"

The next day.

Song Huan Yan didn't expect Li Zihang to come looking for her.

"Anything?" Song Huan Yan looked at him.

Li Zihang nodded, then looked at Sang Wan and the office pest Leng Jian Yue, and said, "President Song, I have something to tell you privately."

Song Huan Yan raised an eyebrow.

She was equally disgusted with Li Zihang, but seeing him like that, it seemed he had a secret to tell her?

Could it be that he discovered Qin Zi Mo and Qiao An's affair, so he came to report it?

But... she didn't want to know this matter!

If she "found out," how could she continue this trap?

But it might not be that; perhaps she's overthinking.

Li Zihang and Qin Zi Mo must be on the same side.

"Sang Sang." After a moment's thought, Song Huan Yan still looked at Sang Wan.

"Alright," Sang Wan nodded, then looked at Leng Jian Yue, "Let's go."

Leng Jian Yue at this moment wasn't meddling; he followed Sang Wan out.

The office door closed, Song Huan Yan said, "Speak."

Li Zihang sat in the office chair, mysteriously, "President Song, have you ever considered a possibility."

Song Huan Yan frowned, "Speak plainly."

Li Zihang said, "Your birthday was supposed to be the engagement banquet with your older brother, a double celebration; why didn't your brother even wish you a happy birthday?"

Song Huan Yan immediately replied, "I don't want to know any of that; we've broken up, and there's no chance of getting back together. Leave."

Li Zihang didn't leave, but said, "A man acts that way mostly because there's someone else in his heart. At that time... you hadn't broken up! So... your older brother betrayed you!"

Song Huan Yan: "...."

Song Huan Yan frowned, "I told you to leave; I don't want to hear this. This no longer concerns me."

Li Zihang, still staying, hurriedly continued, "Let me finish. I know who that woman is. I can tell you with confidence that you and your older brother were still in the dating phase, and he was already with this woman. I have plenty of evidence—photos and videos—I can send them to you; they're still together now!"

Li Zihang was pulling out his trump card.

But Song Huan Yan already knew all that.

However... whether they're still together now, Song Huan Yan didn't catch it on the spot; she assumes they've been together all along, never separated.

Seeing Song Huan Yan remain silent, Li Zihang added, "Although you and your older brother have broken up, his betrayal is an absolute fact! If you want proof, I can give it to you tonight. However, I don't have evidence from before your breakup, only the current one. If you want evidence from before, proving he was unfaithful during your dating period, I can also... get them to admit it, solidifying his betrayal."

Song Huan Yan was speechless; she never imagined Li Zihang would come to inform her, almost forgetting to mention Qiao An's name.

Song Huan Yan remained silent, and Li Zihang, unhurried, said, "Decide whether you want to know who that woman is; the evidence is just a word away, as long as you wish to know."

Song Huan Yan watched Li Zihang, who stood with a straight back, exuding confidence and certainty.

He was the same age as Qin Jiao Jiao, a bit younger than Song Huan Yan.

Not yet of marriageable age, yet already has a child.

It's probably because I'm young; I still look very young now.

He looks good, a roguishly handsome type.

Never even attended high school, a pure country bumpkin.

Song Huan Yan couldn't figure out his ulterior motive, thought for a moment and said, "What is your goal? Aren't you family? What, you want to overthrow him and become the leading actor yourself?"

Li Zihang may be a pure bumpkin, but he does look decent.

He's also young, mainly his looks are distinctive.

But he didn't mention it before; why bring it up now?

He even thinks he's leaked such a huge "secret" to her?

Facing her puzzled expression, Li Zihang said, "No, I don't enjoy acting. As for my purpose..."

Li Zihang suddenly stood up, walked toward Song Huan Yan, and abruptly dropped to his knees.

Song Huan Yan jumped in shock, her head full of question marks.

Why is he kneeling before her?

Kneeling, Li Zihang looked at Song Huan Yan, his Adam's apple moving, "My purpose, of course, is you."

Song Huan Yan was stunned, inhaled sharply, unable to believe that anyone could say such a thing.

Song Huan Yan said, "Speak clearly; don't speak as if you're half‑covering a lute, trying to appear sophisticated!"

Li Zihang looked at her and said, "Don't you understand yet? Yan Yan, I want to be with you!"

Li Zihang's words completely shattered Song Huan Yan's worldview.

She was left dumbfounded.

It took her a long while to recover, then her anger was unstoppable.

She lifted her foot and kicked Li Zihang in the chest, angrily saying, "Are you sick?"

Li Zihang was knocked down but didn't get angry; after getting up he continued, "What I said is true; I'm sincere!"

Utterly mysterious confidence.

Song Huan Yan's true Qi made her dizzy; she ground her teeth and said, "You're a married man with a five‑year‑old son. Did something go wrong in your brain to say this to me? Get out, right now!"

Li Zihang replied, "No, listen to my explanation. I can divorce immediately, and I can even give up the child!"

Song Huan Yan: "....."

It's downright nerve‑racking, nerves fully opened, nerves to the max.

"Is this the point?" Song Huan Yan couldn't help but say, "Where does your confidence come from, daring to tell me you want to be with me?"

Li Zihang said, "I want to tell you that your older brother betrayed you long ago. So these somewhat capable men are unreliable! They betray when they betray, and I, I'm the one most suitable for you!"

"....."

Song Huan Yan didn't want to waste more words, pointed to the doorway and said, "I'm telling you to get out."

Li Zihang added, "If you stay with me, I'll tell you exactly who your brother's cheating woman is. They're still scheming behind your back, trying to control the Song Clan through you, then abuse you, making life worse than death! Yan Yan, only if you're with me can I protect you. As long as you agree to be with me, I'll obtain all the evidence—both before and after—including how they maliciously plotted against you. I can get all the video and audio. I will expose them completely, ruining their reputation and leaving them with nothing!"

Song Huan Yan understood.

So he used that so‑called evidence as a trump card, daring to say such worldview‑shattering words to her!

"Heh," Song Huan Yan sneered, "Whatever you say becomes truth? Just because you say he cheated and plotted makes it real? I still think this is all your trick, trying to deceive me!"

Li Zihang hurriedly said, "No, I'm not lying! Your older brother is malicious, wants to control the Song Clan and completely dominate you. He says if you don't submit to his control, he won't let you have a child. He'll have a child with someone else for you to raise! He'll swap the two children, making you raise another's child while your own child gets killed!"

These... Song Huan Yan actually already knows.

But what she has to do is "pretend not to know."

It seems that Qin Zi Mo, when scheming against her, didn't avoid his family; otherwise Li Zihang wouldn't have known.

Moreover, Li Zihang should know that Qin Zi Mo has no hope of reconciling with her.

So he wants to elevate himself, using this information as a trade, claiming he's helping her and being good to her.

"Really, trust me," Li Zihang said, looking at her. "Otherwise you'll be in real trouble. If you don't believe me, I can record an audio for you tonight."

Song Huan Yan snorted, "Are you trying to write a novel for me? I don't believe a single word. Whether you believe it or not, you still want me to tell Qin Zi Mo that you dared to pursue me, slandering him."

"I didn't slander him!" Li Zihang was anxious.

Song Huan Yan said, "Anyway, I just don't believe it; videos and recordings can be forged. Besides, he and I broke up long ago; now we're just in a boss‑employee relationship. Everything you just said is extremely detrimental to him. If it gets out, you'll ruin him and cause massive losses to the company! Once he's disgraced, the money I invested in him won't return a single cent, and the company's reputation will be completely ruined, the whole company will collapse."

Song Huan Yan picked up the desk phone, "Call a few Security in, bring Li Zihang to the lounge, and lock him in."

Li Zihang's face turned pale, "Why won't you believe? Every word I say is true! Why are you so stupid, so willingly letting him bully and scheme you? You still want to elevate him to a higher position. Song Huan Yan, you will absolutely regret it!"
