Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

"There is one way we can get our answers," Jun affirmed with a grave expression. "Shui."

Jin's expression looked anything but inviting.

Jun continued. "Warlord called Shui to Shanghai, so she must have definitely met that person. She can confirm if Warlord is really Cai Guiying or not."

,m "I don't want to talk to her. I don't even want to see her face," he coldly shot back.

"Jin…"

"No."

He sighed. "Jin, you realize it, right? If Cai Guiying and Cai Lingyun are really behind all of this, then maybe, then they used Shui in some way. You hate her, but she might be innocent."

He glared at him. "Innocent? Only you will think she is innocent! She played with your feelings and rejected you! You still don't get it, do you Bro? She had no right to break your heart after all that you did for her. She couldn't understand your love and needlessly hurt you," he chuckled, "No matter what I think about Zhou Ai, you are happy with her, right? Because she understands you. Why couldn't Shui do the same? To say that your love was suffocating. It's her existence that is suffocating to the world now!"

Jun kept his silence at his outburst. Then he said, "Okay. I won't force you to think highly of Shui. But we need her help to confirm."

"Don't even think of calling her here," his expression was even uglier.

Jun gave up. "Fine. But I at least need to talk to her on the phone. We really need to be sure about this."

He quickly dialed Shui's number and put it on speaker. She picked up a few seconds later. "Jun," she sounded cheerful. "What's up?"

"Hey," Jun smiled. "A quick help. You…know Warlord, right?"

She chuckled. "You also know him. We are in the same forum."

"Yeah. But you said that you came to Shanghai to meet him, right?"

"Yup."

"So, I wanted to ask about him. Who is Warlord? Did you meet him?"

There was a sudden pause. "Ah…well, I cannot tell you that, Jun. He wanted me to keep it a secret. I am sorry…"

Jun narrowed his eyes. "Is it Cai Guiying?"

"...H-How did you know?" She was in disbelief. "Did she finally reveal herself to you?"

Jun froze and so did Jin.

So we were right…

Shui was puzzled with the sudden silence that fell on the other end. "Jun? Jun?"

"Ah yes, I am here. Shui."

"Good. I wonder where you disappeared?"

"What did she say to you when she invited you?"

"Nothing much. Just that there was going to be a fest in Shanghai, so it was a good chance for us to meet. She actually wanted to meet you too."

He stiffened.

"What happened? Why this sudden interest in Warlord?"

"Nothing. It was just a little shocking to know that that goofy guy turned out to be a woman."

"Oh yeah, I was pretty shocked too. But she did say that she had faced harassment before, so she chose a more manly username and acted like a man in the forum."

"I see. Thanks, Shui. I will call you back later."

"Sure."

As he hung up, Jun felt as if he got answers to a lot of his questions but at the same time, new questions arose as well.

Why was Guiying so interested in him? Why did she hate him so much that she had plotted everything?

Jin trembled. He began to hate Jun not only because he never believed him but also because of how he threw away his family for the sake of a woman. Though he did behave rudely to Nana and Nuo, he never truly became so evil that he would stop caring about his family.

Was the last life really all just an elaborate scheme?

Jin laughed angrily. "So you mean to say that Cai Guiying, who had nothing got to do with you, befriended Shui and everything that happened after her birthday party was her fucking plan? She ruined Sky, made you distance yourself from the family through her brother and was somehow involved with Shui and my wedding five years later? Who the hell is this woman? How dare she mess with the Liu family!?"

The angry veins popping on his forehead was enough to express the killing intent and the strong urge to end Guiying's life.

Jun's gaze was just as icy and unforgiving. "I don't know. Maybe coming to Shui's birthday party was a part of her plan too."

Jin sprung on his feet, gnashing his teeth. "What are we waiting for? We should confront that bitch!"

"Wait!" He hastily grabbed his shoulder. "What are we supposed to ask her? This is all the past life we are talking about. She will think we are crazy. The only thing for which we can demand an answer from her is regarding Shanghai."

Jin narrowed his eyes. "The part about you and Shui in the elevator."

He nodded. "Yes. But in public, it was Cai Lingyun who made a mess. Even in her last life, she did many things through him. That fucker will definitely protect his sister," his gaze darkened. "We just need to know who gave him that elevator footage. It will definitely be her, and then we can confront her."

"...Why are we doing it in this way? We are the Liu's from the Underworld. They will have to answer us," he sneered.

He faintly smiled. "Us being Liu's couldn't help Bro Zixin, right? Even though I caught Feng Wuhan beforehand to prevent the accident, it didn't go our way at all. If they had planned such an elaborate scheme in the past, then we cannot take them lightly or barge in without preparation."

He was silent.

"Fine."

Jun slowly bobbed his head. "Jin, this time, we will not let that dreadful past happen once more. We got a second chance to fix the past. That's why…" his heart raced faster in trepidation, "we need to work together to get into the root of all this. Will you help me?"
