Chapter 506: Betrayal

~6 min read 1,115 words

At a roadside snack stall, Li Huiying, who had met Lin Feng earlier that day, sat face-to-face with a woman her own age.

The two ate barbecue while drinking alcohol.

Li Huiying's lovely face was already flushed.

She had shaken off her bodyguard and sneaked out.

Drinking with her close friend, having a couple of followers is nothing.

"Caiying, I'm getting married next month."

Li Huiying grabbed her own hair, rubbed it hard, and said with a troubled look.

The young woman sitting opposite had a round face, permed curls, and a clearer gaze than Li Huiying's.

She was Ming Caiying; in high school she had been Li Huiying's classmate and was a year older.

Later they attended university together, and she had always been Li Huiying's follower.

After graduation, Li Huiying went to work at the family company, while Ming Caiying joined a small advertising firm.

In the two years since leaving school, they had stayed in frequent contact.

This time, it was Ming Caiying who had taken the initiative to invite Li Huiying out.

"Congratulations, Huiying!"

Ming Caiying raised her cup again and said with a smile.

Li Huiying shook her head: "I'm not drinking anymore; another drink would get me drunk."

"Just one more cup, just one!" Ming Caiying urged.

Li Huiying pursed her lips, picked up her cup, and clinked it against Ming Caiying's.

Then she downed the cup's alcohol in one gulp.

Then she slumped onto the table, muttering unintelligibly.

Ming Caiying reached out to push the hair covering Li Huiying's face aside and saw Li Huiying's eyes wide open.

"Huiying, you still don't know who your fiancé is!"

Ming Caiying withdrew her hand and asked with a smile.

Li Huiying sat up, swept her hair back, opened her bag, took out her phone, unlocked it, and opened a photo.

"It's this guy!"

Li Huiying said.

Ming Caiying took the phone, looked, and exclaimed in surprise: "He's so handsome! You didn't doctor the photo, did you?"

Li Huiying took back the phone and said: "Who would want to doctor his photo? He's just like this; this guy, I can't do anything about him..."

Her voice grew softer as she spoke, and she fumbled with the phone.

She didn't know what came over her, and she dialed Lin Feng's phone.

Lin Feng had just put on his jacket, was about to go out, and saw his newly bought phone ringing.

He picked it up and saw it was Li Huiying calling!

Why call me at this hour?

Lin Feng answered the call.

At the same time, Li Huiying put her phone back into her bag.

The phone remained connected.

Seeing Li Huiying put down her phone, Ming Caiying urged her to drink again.

After another drink, Li Huiying was completely drunk.

Ming Caiying waved to call the waiter over for the bill.

Then she helped Li Huiying toward the parked car by the roadside.

Zhang Youxun and Zhang Shangren were both sitting in the car.

Ming Caiying opened the car door, helped Li Huiying inside, and then got in herself.

Zhang Shangren turned his head to glance at the two women sitting in the back.

Seeing Li Huiying unconscious, he smiled and said: "Uncle, where to next?"

Zhang Youxun said: "You'll find out when we get there; it's definitely a fun place."

Zhang Shangren, sitting in the passenger seat, unfastened his seatbelt, turned around, and looked at Li Huiying leaning against Ming Caiying's arms.

He said with a smile: "Ming Caiying, how does it feel to betray your good friend?"

Ming Caiying's lips curled: "I'm thrilled! Since high school I've lived in her shadow; though my grades were better, whenever we were together everyone only looked at her, not even giving me a proper glance."

"Is it just because she's prettier and luckier? Now she's actually going to marry such a handsome man… she deserves it!"

By the end, Ming Caiying was gritting her teeth.

It was also because she'd had some alcohol, liquid courage letting her vent her inner hatred.

"Women, huh! Hehe!"

Zhang Shangren shook his head with a look of contempt and turned away.

Zhang Youxun, who was driving, said: "Ming Caiying, rest assured! After we pull this off, I'll definitely give you the money I promised."

Ming Caiying smiled and said: "You won't kill me to silence me, will you?"

Zhang Youxun laughed and said: "If I can buy you off with money, why would I need to kill you? I think you understand: once you've taken the money, you'd better get far away and never let me see you again, or else—hehe!"

Ming Caiying's heart jumped, and she hurriedly said: "I know!"

After taking the money, if she tried to use this to threaten those two, that would be suicide!

The three didn't notice Li Huiying, lying in Ming Caiying's arms, clenching her teeth and tightening her right fist.

Although she was drunk, she wasn't truly insensible.

Ming Caiying used to never advise her to drink Alcohol.

This time she acted out of character; there must be something wrong!

So, after calling Lin Feng, she didn't hang up but just put the phone back in her bag.

As expected…

The best friend actually betrayed herself; for Li Huiying, it's too painful.

At this time, Zhang Youxun and Zhang Shangren began discussing the upcoming matters.

After arriving at the place, they filmed how many video clips and took how many photos.

They invited how many men who are waiting there…

Then they started talking about what came next.

Using these videos and photos to threaten Li Huiying.

Li Huiying definitely wouldn't dare to speak out, because this concerns her and the Li Family's reputation.

Zhang Shangxun (Lin Feng) would never have imagined, his fiancée… haha!

After the sedan drove for half an hour, it entered a recently vacated old residential area in the suburbs of Hancheng, prepared for demolition.

After the car stopped, Ming Caiying helped Li Huiying get out.

Li Huiying suddenly opened her eyes and shoved Ming Caiying away.

Then she turned and ran.

But the heel of her high-heeled shoe got stuck in the seam of the Stone Slab, her ankle twisted, and she fell to the ground.

Ah!

Li Huiying swore, kicked off her shoes, and got up.

But it's already too late to run.

Ming Caiying had already caught up, and Zhang Youxun and Zhang Shangren also got out of the car and ran over.

The twisted left foot sent a wave of sharp pain.

Li Huiying only took one step before falling to the ground again.

"Huiying, you can't run!"

Ming Caiying stepped forward, grabbed Li Huiying's hair, and said coldly.
