Chapter 142: Lucky Coin

Li ZiChen tapped his finger on the table near them. He seemed quiet for a while, his mind racing while his expression remained as calm as the serene morning glow. AiLin found herself staring at his light colored eyes that were staring at her knees as he seemed to fall into a deep ponder. His voice startled her awake, "Alright, I’ll look for it."

She smiled gently, "Thank you," sincerely she added, "Really, thank you."

"This isn’t much," his fingers grabbed her palms and she could feel warmth surging from the tips of his fingers toward her palms, gently moving as it rubbed the gaps between her fingers his voice was soft as he stared into her, his gaze deep into her soul. "It must have taken you a lot to make your decision into seeing the psychiatrist. I should reward you no matter how difficult it is."

She shook her head, "Oh come on, it is for my own health. Why would you have to be thankful about it?"

He didn’t respond. Li ZiChen’s eyes remained into her eyes as it stared for a while in a meaningful gaze, as if answering it with his gaze that the reason was because of his love for her.

She softly pushed her hand from him and stood up, "Alright then! I’m going to sleep. You should also rest now, ZiChen. You seem so busy these days."

"Wait," he called for her before she enter her room. Pushing himself to stand up, he looked at her for a while, "What about the lead actress offer?"

"Oh, I’m thinking about it," she answered while rubbing her upper arms, "But I don’t think I’ll take it. A real actress should take the job."

Li ZiChen smiled as she then closed the door. Between the small gaps of the closed doors, AiLin saw how his expression suddenly darken as he pulled his phone. She didn’t think much and thought she had mistook his expression. After a long day, AiLin wrapped herself under her blanket and fell asleep as soon as she closed her two eyes.

Meanwhile Li ZiChen who has entered a call then heard from the other line who had spoken with curiosity and concern, "Are you certain you’ll go through with this plan?"

"Yes," Li ZiChen had gotten back to his room. He removed his necktie, pulling it roughly as he stared at the pictures that were neatly posted on the walls of the particular room. He walked forward, staring at the small USB that he had taken from OuYang’s secret room. He then sat down on the chair, pushing the USB into his CPU and stare at the file that was written as "AiLin".

There were two things inside the file.

First was an excel sheet. In the sheet was the year and name of AiLin, with something beside it which was money. He counted it meticulously, totaling around forty thousand yuan. All this was AiLin’s money that she had given to OuYang in order for her videos not to be sold anymore, basically the money she had to squeeze out for her blackmail. The year that stopped was the year when she had gotten in prison. OuYang didn’t stop requesting the money because he felt bad, but because he couldn’t anymore as AiLin was already pushed into prison.

That would mean if AiLin hadn’t gotten into prison, OuYang would have continued.

Li ZiChen cracked his fingers as he stared at the money.

The other page of the excel sheet however was different. It was names. Familiar names of the people who had wished to see AiLin suffer. In particular was Jiang NianNian who had also paid OuYang to see AiLin being bullied. The bullies’ names were also around there, pitching money together for a "grand" plan.

Li ZiChen knew what grand plan they had requested from OuYang was the video that was stored in the file.

"ZiChen," someone’s voice rang from the other side. He seemed to be rolling a large candy around his mouth as he spoke, "I’m asking if you’re sure that you’re going to go through this plan? You’re going to force her into a competitive industry. You know well that being an actress isn’t easy. You had seen your own mother, our beloved aunty, who had to live constantly under pressure of being a singer. Do you think being an actress is any easy?"

"That won’t matter," answered Li ZiChen. "I’m giving her a choice. What she needs is a little more push but I can see that she really wants to act. She has a talent, she has the looks, and she has the guts. What she doesn’t have is a purpose and I’m about to give it to her."

"I see, I see, I agree— or is that what you think I’ll say?" Sighed the man on the other side. "From what I heard you told me, she seems to be very hateful to controlling people. If she knew about this.."

"She doesn’t have to know about it. Just like how the dead body in the prison was something I created, how her dress in that party was also chosen by me, and how her walking into my door was something I planned, she doesn’t have to know what’s about to come. All she needs to do is to answer the set of choices I made for her and live for herself," Li ZiChen gripped his hands, "I know what you’re saying. I know how if she knew about this, she would think her life being fake but you don’t understand, YanLan. All this time, AiLin has always lived without ever given a choice. She was always pushed around by other people’s greed and i want her to be greedy. If she makes the choice on going to act, I’ll support her, if she doesn’t, I’ll support her as I have always been. It’s no different."

YanLan, the man who was in the call sighed as he pulled a cup of noodle after finishing his candy. He reminded, "Acting industry isn’t nice to kind people, Zi Chen. With her history, it’s going to be difficult to keep her fame from being stained by nasty people who want to destroy her. I know Jiang NianNian, she’s been snooping around for any crumbs about AiLin’s life. I can tell that she’s trying to find any dirt she can use to ruin AiLin’s reputation."

"That doesn’t matter," answered Li ZiChen as he rested his back on his work chair, staring at the pictures of AiLin that he had collected, piling on all four walls of the room. He smiled, "My father already proved that he could make sure no bad news ever touch my mother. I have learned from the best and I know what to do to make sure danger would only raise her fame, not ruin it."

"Yeah, yeah, you and uncle JunWei are both so similar in the way you love someone that it’s so scary!" YanLan who is actually Li ZiChen’s cousin then quirked up his grin. "Alright then, if you have made your choice, I’ll proceed into the plan. Oh! Before I forgot, I have sent you the documentation of the DNA test between Jiang NianNian and Mrs Jiang. But I didn’t expect that you would want me to also test Jiang MengYao’s DNA."

"If a person can cheat once, why wouldn’t they cheat for the second time?" Li ZiChen responded. "I have heard from Ailin of what kind of person Mrs Jiang is. She seems to be hiding something about her husband which made her to have an affair on him. All we need to do is to find out what that is so we can easily destroy the family from inside."

"Alright~" sang YanLan. "Oh oh! So I’ll finally be seeing my sister in law not in pictures but in real flesh next month?!"

Li ZiChen tapped his fingers, "Be nice to her when you see her."

"Of course! I will, for certain. But uh... I don’t know about our other relatives, they’re rude you know."

"I know but they won’t do anything with me around," Li ZiChen then moved his cursor on the screen toward the video inside the file. "I’ll call you again later." After ending the call with his cousin he then double clicked on the video.

His eyes that were light colored turned dark after minutes watching the video. He clenched his jaw. Now he knew. He knew why AiLin couldn’t bring herself to tell what had happened to her after she was assaulted the first time. The first instance, she was able to protect herself but the second one was different.

AiLin was fooled into a room. She didn’t seem conscious as someone was holding the camera, a little shaky while holding it. Li ZiChen found out after the cameraman spoke that the person holding the camera was none other than OuYang. He spoke in a whisper that the camera wasn’t able to catch at first then he spoke louder to the other young high school boys who were siting around the table.

On top of the table was AiLin, unconscious, delirious. She was trying to move but her body wasn’t able to move so well. She seemed dazed, hazy. It wasn’t her normal self and Li ZiChen was certain that she had been drugged as he had seen this hazy look from her eyes when they had infiltrated OuYang’s club. Knowing how OuYang was also used in drugging people, he could tell that it was drugs that were used on her.
