Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu-Chapter 994: The undefeatable shield

Chyou sighed at Jin, who was pacing back and forth in the room.

"You are making me dizzy, Jin. Slow down. No, how about you stop?"

"How can I stop when Alix just dropped such a huge bomb upon us? Wait…" his gaze turned frigid, "Was he behind your coma too? Did Ren Mui push you because he told her?"

Alix tilted her head. "Possible."

His eyes widened. "And why are you so calm about it?"

She blinked at him. "Why should I be panicking?"

Jin gritted his teeth. "For starters, he was your ex-boyfriend."

"Ex is the keyword here."

He was dumbfounded. "Don’t you feel anything about your ex-boyfriend plotting against you?"

"Well first of all, it’s just a guess at this point based on the location Chyou figured out. Starplex is a big commercial space and it’s not directly pointing to Kang Yuze. Secondly, I don’t even love him."

I never loved him in the first place so why would my feelings be hurt? She inwardly snorted.

"You also said that he might have to do something regarding your sister’s hatred towards you."

"Because the crush Dai Qigang…? Whatever. He belonged to Kang Yuze’s group before the two groups merged. I just found a lot of commonalities."

"You are not taking this seriously at all!" He glared at her.

Her lips parted, speechless.

But I am…?

Jin asked Chyou instead, "Do you find any incriminating messages between Ren Mui and Kang Yuze?"

She shook her head. "I was already checking it the moment Alix talked about him. It’s just a casual chit chat on Wechat, nothing suspicious about Alix. If he is indeed behind everything, then he is not leaving any visible traces."

Alix asked, "What can you find about Zhong De? He is one of the designers in my company. I read Mui’s messages with him. He has leaked the fashion show to her."

Chyou’s fingers flew on her keyboard once again, tapping into Zhong De’s information. She scanned through his data and said, "Zhong De. 26. Completed his basic education in arts and then did his specialization in fashion designing. Prior to joining your company two years ago, he has worked for two more. Here is the interesting part. He was fired from his last job for plagiarizing his colleague’s designs."

Jin stared at her. "And your sister allowed him to get a job at your company?"

She shrugged. "Seems like it."

"And you exposed your actual design plans to him?"

"Pretty much."

"This is serious!"

"I am taking it very seriously."

He laughed angrily. "If you had, then you wouldn’t have discussed your details about the fashion show to the designers. Now Ren Mui knows it and probably Kang Yuze too. Do you think they are going to sit still?"

She smiled. "Which is what I want. I don’t want them to sit still. I will only get the evidence I want against them when they are moving. Somebody will surely make a mistake because I will make them make a mistake."

"And you want to test that by putting the fashion show on the line? You have said it yourself how important this show is to pull back your company’s image and rise in the market again. If things don’t go as you plan, then you are the one losing the stakes here, not Ren Mui or Kang Yuze."

"Well then what else should I have done?" She frowned.

"For starters, how about you would have used that smart brain of yours to show them fake designs? Did you have to spell out everything to them?" The shades of his cheeks were growing redder and redder.

"But I did think about that obviously."

"So why didn’t you do it obviously?"

"Because it wouldn’t be so fun then."

A vein popped on his temple.

"WHO CARES ABOUT HAVING FUN HERE!?" Jin blasted his fury, making Yating and Guiying jolt in their spots.

Chyou stared at Jin and his bursting lava as she munched on a chip in her mouth.

Jin suddenly threw an acute glance at her. "What?"

She coughed and almost choked on it. "Nothing, nothing!"

"Is everything alright?" Guiying asked from her seat, concerned.

Alix looked at her worried gaze and threw a glare at Jin. "Don’t worry people for no reason."

"No reason? No reason?" Jin was incredulous. "You are the one taking this too lightly especially when you are just out of your little trip from the coma. You want to be careless and land in that state again?"

Her brow twitched. She gave an awkward smile to Guiying. "Everything is fine here."

Guiying glanced at Jin, who spewed sparks of fire in all directions.

I don’t think everything is fine…

Alix then innocently blinked at Jin. "I knew things could have come to this point. Isn’t it why I am glued to your side?"

"..."

"I took the twenty million check from you, I became Liu Jing’s protege, I am working from the Liu Corps and I insisted you to host and sponsor the fashion show. See, when it’s raining cats and dogs and you are stuck outside, where do you run to take shelter? You stand under the tall and sturdiest tree possible, right?"

Chyou gasped. "So my Jini-boy is the tall and sturdy tree for you?"

"Bingo," she winked at her. "I will do whatever I want to expose Mui and Kang Yuze, if he is involved. Liu Jin will be my first line of defense. And also the last because I don’t need anybody else if I have him~" she pointed at Jin. "Like I always say, the Liu family is a very useful family to have by your side."

Chyou stared at her dumbfounded.

I am not sure if I should be impressed by her thought process or…

"I agree!" Chyou gave her a thumbs up.

Jin exclaimed. "I am not your damn shield!"

"But your angry questions just now convey how you have fit in your role as my shield already. Plus, your consent doesn’t matter. I already made you my shield when I made you sign that check ahahaha! So get ready Liu Jin. We will be walking into an exciting battlefield ahead~"
