Chapter 99: The curtain rises to unveil her ugly truth

Jianyu said, “Start talking.”

Sun Dong said, “I-I was with my gang and these five men suddenly came to us and started asking questions.”

“What questions?”

He gulped.

Jianyu smiled, “I guess the torture wasn’t enough for you.”

“No! No! I’m telling. We were waiting for the car in which that restaurant owner…Nana was supposed to come. We were talking about her when the other gang heard-“

“Wait a minute. What do you mean waiting for Nana? What were you doing waiting for her?”

“That…”

“Tell me!!!”, he shouted so loudly that Sun Dong was about to pee his pants.

“We don’t know who she was but she gave us a lot of money and promised to handle the police case if…if we **** Nana and video shoot her in the act.”

Jianyu was aghast. He felt as if he heard something wrong.

What? Someone gave a tip-off to **** Nana?…Who hates her so much?

Everyone was overwhelmed by his chilling and deathly aura. Even the guards couldn’t help but gulp.

“And I wanted to take my revenge from her for that day when she caught me harassing her employee. So, I agreed. We were talking about her when the other gang heard us and started interfering. They wanted to join in as well. We refused and that’s why we fought where they beat us and we ran away.”

“Who was she?”, he asked very slowly and quietly.

“Huh?”

“The person who bribed you. To do that despicable thing with Nana. Who was she?”

“I-I don’t know her name. But yes. I know that I saw her just a few days back. It was the day when the whole media had come to Natsukashi and they were harassing Nana about her past. I was also there. She was the woman who came later on and apologized for accidentally leaking her background to a paparazzi.”

Jianyu froze.

“She said that her maid got hold of her information and told it to a paparazzi who was her friend and that’s how it got leaked. Then I don’t know. She was all surrounded by the reporters and I didn’t see anything further.”

Jianyu felt as if he was struck by lightning. He thought that something is wrong with him. He cannot hear what the man is talking about. It’s as if everything became deadly quiet.

His hands quivered while he took his phone out. He opened a picture and showed it to him.

“Was it this woman?”, he asked really not wanting to know the answer.

Sun Dong saw and spoke loudly, “Yes! It was this woman. She is the one!”

Jianyu just blankly stared at him. After a long silence, he said, “Do you have any proof?”

“I-I”, he thought hard and something struck him. “Yes. I have her messages. You can check my phone.”

Jianyu signaled and the guard immediately brought his phone. He browsed through it and saw the latest message.

“This was the message she sent saying that at the last minute a friend of hers joined her and Nana and she couldn’t stop her. She instructed us not to do anything with her either. Only Nana. Our target is only Nana.”

He read the message which was not from Suyin’s number. It was unknown. But the text clearly said that it couldn’t have been anyone other than her. Only she, Nana and Huian were there. It was clearly written to specifically attack Nana.

He felt like he wasn’t even alive anymore. Like somebody just sucked his soul out of him.

His childhood friend, his crush, his first love who was his everything turned out to be a monster?

How can it be? Can Suyin be this evil? Does she really hate Nana so much? Did her hatred make her cross all boundaries?

He then laughed mocking himself.

Did I truly ever know her? The time I spent with her all this while, was it a big lie? She was something else on the outside and something else on the inside? Something different in front of me and something different in front of others? She spoke well of Nana but was actually backstabbing her?

There was one last thing to do to completely confirm her deed, after which there would be no doubt whatsoever.

In the hospital, Suyin was getting impatient. She wanted to meet Jianyu but he was nowhere to be seen. But she waited for him.

“Mom. Do you know what happened to that b*tch? Where is she? I want to see her in a state a hundred times worse than me. I was being touched and…fucked by those disgusting men and she got out of it unharmed? No. I will never accept this!”

“I don’t know all the details. But I heard that she is also admitted. I think she got a serious head injury.”

She was enraged, “That’s it!? Only a measly head injury? Look how much I suffered. She didn’t suffer even half of that!”

“Half of what Suyin?”, a voice came.

“Jianyu!”

“Ah, Jianyu. You are finally here. Suyin was waiting for you. After what happened…she really needs you now. Please don’t leave her. She thinks that you hate her because she…please talk to her and be with her now, okay?”, Tang Ning was sobbing.

He smiled. “Of course. I’ll be with her. I also want to make some things clear. So Aunty, can you please leave us alone?”

“Of course.”, she nodded at her and hurriedly left.

Suyin started crying, “Jianyu…”

“So, what were you saying? Who didn’t suffer even half of what?”
