  Do you know what the best type of revenge is?

  No?

  Let us enlighten you on that…… Or we should let Ru do that instead.

  "Ahhh! Who threw the damn cold water?" A lout howler could be heard in the hospital ward as Jie frantically opened his eyes. Looking at Ru’s grinning face, his hands clenched in fists. "You! What was that for?"

  "You grew fond of ruining my sleep. So, I did the same to you. An act of perfect revenge for sleep-spoilers" answered a certain cheeky best friend. Before Jie could say anything else, he noticed other people in the room.

  The room had six other people, one of those was tied up in a corner.

  "What’s going on?" He was immediately on alert mode and noticed that Xu Mey wasn’t by his side anymore. "And where is my wife?"

  "Relax! Your wife is safe and sound. She’s sleeping peacefully in the room next door while you…… I think I told you to keep an eye open at night." She paced up to the person who was tied up in a corner and said, "Wouldn’t you like to meet our sharky?" Saying that Ru turned the face of the person.

  Jie’s eyes widened up as he gaped for a moment longer before voicing out in disbelief, "Xu Liqing?" He had expected to see anyone but her. "But how?"

  Xu Liqing was constantly trying to free herself. She was growling like a hungry lion as her rage-filled eyes were trying to kill Jie with just a look.

  Feeling something odd about Xu Liqing he asked, "What’s going on with her?"

  "Well…… This little missy didn’t have a mental breakdown at least not until a month ago." Jie gave her an inquiring look before Ru continued, "This little missy’s mother has been on life-support for a month now and when doctors said that Fu Lan will never wake up, she went into shock. Because of that, she lost her child as well."

  Ru was stating everything with ease and calmness but Jie wasn’t calm at all. He had no idea that Fu Lan was on life-support now.

  "You see, that was the mental breakdown she needed to forget all about the thing called rationality. And she did. Her way of coping with her grief was her anger that was directed towards your wife."

  "I’ll kill her! Xu Mey will have to die! I’ll kill her with my own hands! Haha! I’ll never let her rest in peace. She’ll have to pay for everything that she did to me!" Xu Liqing’s hysterical shouting made Ru scrunch up her face in annoyance.

  "Someone just shut her damn trap!" At Ru’s command, a person from the group of five moved and taped Xu Liqing’s mouth.

  "Was she the one behind the accident?" Jie asked with a solemn look on his face.

  "Yes and no," came the answer.

  "Give me only one answer," Jie demanded in a stern tone.

  Ru rolled her eyes at him and waved her hand. The group of five moved and soon brought another tied figure inside. Kneeling before Jie’s bed when Ru pulled off the black cloth from the face, Jie didn’t even flinch as if it wasn’t surprising anymore.

  "What? Aren’t you shocked? Surprised?" Ru questioned in a nosy manner.

  "No, I’m not! I knew it’d be her since she’s the one who tried to kill Azalea as well." Jie spoke with such hatred as he glared at the kneeling figure of none other than his one and only ex; Lu Yuhan.

  Ru didn’t seem pleased since he wasn’t even reacting at all. She had expected some kind of reaction but it wasn’t this kind at all.

  "Whatever! But aren’t you curious how this fishy got to know that sharky over there?" Jie’s eyes were stuck on Lu Yuhan’s face which was taped as well while her big eyes held a hopeful look as they looked back at Jie.

  "I’m not curious but you certainly want to spill the bean," Jie stated the obvious which made Ru puff up her cheeks in displeasure but seeing that her subordinates were still here, she didn’t plan on showing her petty side to them at all.

  "I’ll pretend like you didn’t just say that. Anyhow, do you remember the name of Jun Li Nan’s one night husband?" Jie frowned at her words but stayed quiet, not wanting to react unnecessarily. "His name was Lu Ge. Do you know your ex’ name? It’s Lu Yuhan! Does it ring a bell?"

  Finally, Jie gave a reaction and stared at Lu Yuhan’s pitiful face.

  "Xu Liqing knew that after the accident she’d be the first suspect. So, she needed witnesses. She stayed behind her psychiatric ward and Lu Yuhan did her bidding by driving the car. But since Xu Liqing got to know that you both survived, she sent people to attack you and when none of that worked because of yours truly, she showed up herself. How typical!"

  "I want to talk to her," he said looking at Lu Yuhan and Ru shrugged her shoulders before waving her hand and the tape was pulled off of her face.

  "Ah-Jie!" Lu Yuhan’s soft, pitiful voice was heard choked in tears. "How can you tie me up like this? I have always loved you and you know that."

  "Oh, is that why you left me?" Jie retorted.

  Lu Yuhan shook her head frantically denying it as she said, "Believe me, I didn’t want to do so. It was your mother. She blackmailed me. Believe me. She pushed me to leave your side. I had no other choice but as soon as I got to know that she is not your mother, I came back to look for you."

  "And tried to kill me?"

  "I did not! I did no such thing. You came in front of the car yourself. I never wanted to hurt you. Never, ever! I wanted to kill that bitch who was right beside you. Ah-Jie, she’s not worthy of you. Do you know how many times my cousin, Lu Ge has tried to commit suicide? It’s all because of that woman’s schemes. She’s ruthless. She’s a devil. She doesn’t deserve you at all. She has no right to live!"

  "Ptak!"

  A loud slap echoed in the room and Lu Yuhan fell on the ground with a cut on her lip. She had known Jie for years and in all those years, Jie was the epitome of a gentleman who would never lose control before a girl or get violent. Today was an exception which took her by surprise.

  "Say another word against my wife and trust me, I’ll cut that tongue of yours." Seeing that hatred in his eyes, Lu Yuhan had no doubt that he would do just that. "She’s worthy of me or not, that’s not for you to decide because you left on your own accord." She opened her mouth to retort but he cut her off, "So what if Zhou Ning blackmailed you? If you really loved me like you say you do, you would have stayed. But you didn’t. Now, you don’t get the right to talk about my wife at all."

  "This is why I’ll kill that bitch. If not today then tomorrow. I’ll eventually find a way to take her life. She’ll have to pay for everything that she did. I’ll make sure of that!" Lu Yuhan said with conviction which irked Jie.

  "I won’t even give you a chance to come near my wife." Jie said and turned to call someone and as the call connected, he ordered, "Get your men here and bring your newest drug with you. I have two very healthy test subjects for you."

  Lu Yuhan’s eyes widened as she tried to beg him but he didn’t listen at all. "Shut her mouth. She’s too loud. What if her shrieking voice disturbed my baby’s sleep?"

  Ru’s mouth twitched as she heard his words. ’I can’t believe he’s still showing off his love.’ She rolled her eyes at him and shook her head.
