To Love You Again

Chapter 661 - Mastermind

Half a day had passed ever since that piece of controversial news appeared suddenly in the national television news and got deleted swiftly.

Before the public could even speculate, another controversial news was aired in every news channel and social media platforms that made everyone from the industry insiders to the public mass of people take their eyes off from Guan family's scandal.

It was a huge scandal of a politician involving bribery and corruption, backed up with suffient evidence.

Every citizen of a country would always be concerned on any news of blatant large-scale corruption in their own government. Although many intellectuals felt that the issue seemed to have been made viral in purpose, they only assumed that perhaps it was the work of the politician's enemies.

Every social platform talked about this politician and cursed him with sky-high buildings of condemnation.

This successfully covered up the light of the identity fraud scandal.

Thus giving the Guan Empire and the person involved a breather.

*****

The mastermind behind the Guan chairman's sudden identity fraud scandal was currently in the chairman's floor of IHZHI.

After making a phone call, Linfeng returned to Xiong Zhi's office.

"How was it?" Xiong Zhi looked up from the doc.u.ments she was handling and asked the man who entered the room.

"As expected, the news got deleted immediately from both national news and online communities. People now only talked about this corrupted politician." Linfeng shrugged. "They acted fast. Coupled with the Guan Empire siding with Guan Gao Huan, it's a given that people will soon forget this matter today and dismiss it as fake news. The Guan Empire had spoken already after all. He had won the succession, so it won't be easy to let people believe the news. "

Xiong Zhi nodded, put down her pen, and massaged her brows. "That's still alright. Our goal this time is to only plant suspicion about Guan Gao Huan's identity. For sure, Guan Gu Ri and the others will investigate the evidences. Then they will come to learn soon how little they really know about their brother Guan Gao Huan who lived abroad."

When that happened, the Guan family would start to question Guan Gao Huan.

She narrowed her eyes. "They might even check his eyes out of desperation."

Linfeng walked over to Xiong Zhi, put his hands on her sore temples, and gently massaged in circles.

"It is your strategy so I have no complaints. This is really not my forte. Are you sure you don't want to cut off Gunan immediately? Why play with him?"

Linfeng really wanted to handle this matter entirely and put an end to it. He had his own selfishness, he just did not want his girlfriend's eyes to be polluted by the shitty Gunan.

Linfeng suggested to attack all at once and to not give Gunan a breather.

If it was him, Gunan who was posing as Guan Gao Huan would be arrested in the Guan Empire on the same day that he succeeded the Guan Empire. Then Linfeng would reveal everything and let Gunan enjoy the feeling of the whole nation condemning him.

Xiong Zhi shook her head. Her long phoenix eyes deepened with chill.

"I might be slow, but killing him slowly is more satisfying. I want him to taste how a fish in a dirty tank lives. I want him to live in desperation and think that he still got a chance. I want him to hope desperately, so I can smash down that hope. He just fell down from the pedestal. That is not enough for me."

"....."

Linfeng could feel Xiong Zhi's killing intent. He remembered the things she had told him.

After everything that had happened, Linfeng had long been convinced. After all, the coincidences were too much.

Ming Zhi Yi and Guan Gao Huan's connection, the economic turmoil, the schemes against the legendary families, the Lu family, the father and daughter Xiong De and Xiong Wuyue....

If there was a past life or rebirth, then it must be it.

His beloved woman had suffered too much under that Gunan's hands. Although her body was spared from it all in this life, the scars would not be removed so easily.

Linfeng's eyes flashed darkly.

Although he had wanted to immediately put that man into jail, he too did not plan to end it so quickly.

Once Gunan was jailed, he would play with the sc.u.m and let the person suffer in prison so much that Gunan would beg them for death instead. He would experience worst than Xiong De's prison experience.

Linfeng closed his eyes for a moment and restrained the intense murderous intent that was seeping out.

He did not want Xiong Zhi to find out that he was much, much crueler than she could ever imagine.

Linfeng continued to massage her temples then to the soft neck. "What do you plan to do now? My spies told me that Gunan ran away from the Guan Empire."

Xiong Zhi: "Did he run back to Ming Zhi Yi?"

Linfeng shook his head. "We don't know exactly yet the relationship between Gunan and Ming Zhi Yi. All we know is that Gunan is working under Ming Zhi Yi. Will Ming Zhi Yi really help him? The recent report I have is that Ming Zhi Yi is out of the country."

Xiong Zhi nodded. She recalled everything that she had investigated with Lu Yin Ze's help, as well as the events of the past.

"Based on what I understood about Ming Zhi Yi, that man will not even blink if his son died in front of him. Helping his own subordinate is quite out of his character. Perhaps Gunan will go to Lu Jin then?"

She unconsciously played with his large hands as she thought hard.

Linfeng stopped his massage, embraced her from the back, and rested his chin on top of her head. "Most likely. If Lu Jin helps Gunan out, then it might get harder."

"Seriously, just what is that pair's relationship? They are very close like brothers, and yet his real brother is treated like an enemy."

"That's what we are trying to figure out, aren't we? Though I believe my man would unravel Gunan's true origin soon. They were getting leads but it would take a lot more time. "

Linfeng felt that they were closer to the truth of unmasking Gunan. They were managed to get the means to take his mask off. Now, they were in the process when his fake identity would be revealed to all.

Linfeng remembered his men's recent report. They found a lead about Gunan and his deceased mother in underground slums. Now they were only confirming Gunan's identity and were only looking for Ming Zhi Yi's connection to it all. It was only a matter of time to know everything about Gunan.

Linfeng's eyes flashed. Gunan's days were counted in Linfeng's eyes. He hugged his young miss.

'You will get your revenge soon.'

Xiong Zhi responded to his embrace by leaning on his firm c.h.e.s.t.? "I know I can depend on you. I am dying to know why Ming Zhi Yi chose Gunan. Then we might found a new lead through that."

"Don't worry, we will get there." He promised.? "Anyway, when will your second move be?"

Previously, Linfeng handed over to Xiong Zhi all the evidences. She left it to the woman to decide what to do with them.

It was because he wanted Xiong Zhi to vent out her previous grievances with Gunan.

Xiong Zhi leaned comfortably against Linfeng. She enjoyed the warmth of the solid c.h.e.s.t and arms enveloping her. The chill on her expressionless face softened.

"Right now, Guan Xixin is convincing Guan Gu Ri. Though it might hard for Guan Xixin to make this choice, I believed he would make things right even with the cost of the Guan Empire and the Guan family's reputation. " Xiong Zhi looked afar.

It was truly a pity that it happened to the Guan Family. Even though it was a bit inconsiderate to tell the truth just right after their grandfather's death, Xiong Zhi had no choice but to not let Guan Xixin take a breather.

She needed that anger and rage to be directed at Gunan. And in return, she would help Guan Xixin revenged against the people behind the Guan family's demise.

Xiong Zhi's phoenix eyes were somber. There was a hint of anger on it. "Since Gunan tried to cover it up with another person's dirty laundry, let's do the same thing and release something even better. Let's see which muddy face people will give more attention to."

Linfeng smiled dotingly. Seeing Xiong Zhi's angry and scary side was adorable for him. He could not help but kiss her temples.

"Alright, your wish is my command."
