Chapter 280: I Don’t Hesitate

AiLin saw how FangMin was smiling from one ear to another with a wide grin. She didn’t understand why the girl would look so triumphant when she had never won any award except if someone had made one for stealing many married men and ruining marriages. With a crossed arm, FangMin seemed to have schemed something in her head, looking at her with a provocative gaze as if telling her that it should be time for her to give up now which was odd.

Ah!

It finally dawned on AiLin that FangMin had somehow mistaken her brother Samuel as her boyfriend.

That would make sense, AiLin thought in her head. Though she and Samuel didn’t look too different, they didn’t look too similar either. To FangMin who had only caught a glimpse, they must have looked too far apart to be seen as siblings.

So that would also mean that FangMin had now turned Samuel into a target. She considered first if this was bad and then recalled how Samuel was too busy with his work that he never had a girlfriend or even a crush, liking his work now more than studying.

Hm...

AiLin smiled inwardly but put up an awkward and shocked expression on her face, looking at FangMin as if she had been caught red handed and then became fearful. She didn’t need to react too much as she knew after days that happened since she had been acting that a small, reflexive expression would look more believable than one that was far too exaggerated.

She then turned and ran away into the hotel, searching for YanLan before waving her hand.

YanLan who was holding a cup of coffee had gulped it all at once before turning to grab another coffee in a holder only to be surprised upon seeing her, "MISS AILIN!!!!"

"YANLANNN!!!"

The two went into a hug as they patted each other, "It must have been a difficult time for you," YanLan said, pretending to sob. The two who had become a good friend had always acted toward each other in an exaggerated manner which made them both laugh.

Like always, AiLin had laughed but then she looked at YanLan and frowned, "You look... exhausted even worse than me?"

YanLan flinched and gulped. He shook his head, "Must be your imagination, I slept a lot last night, a lot~"

Truthfully he didn’t sleep. At all. He didn’t even have time to sit down for the last forty eight hours and only today was he allowed to sleep after he had finished all his work which included accompanying AiLin in her filming scene.

Why you might ask?

Because the past few days he had been juggling his work to help Li ZiChen to break into a company’s entry log and other important document breech.

If someone had found out about this, they wouldn’t only be put behind bars, they could even targeted to die, thought YanLan who had sighed.

All of this because Li ZiChen had just found out that he had a daughter he didn’t remember ever sired.

The company he had broken down is a clinic. An OBGYN clinic. While the CCTV he had been searching for was already gone from existence, there had been an archived medical entry log showing AiLin’s check-in that day, and the blood test records tied to it.

Then what about the document you ask?

It included her early pregnancy report, blood type, fetal health indicators... and a forensic test result. AiLin had undergone a sexual assault examination that day but the DNA evidence from the rape kit was never officially submitted to law enforcement.

That day after that incident, AiLin had gotten into the clinic alone, bruised, shaken, and clearly in distress. The on-call physician had immediately suspected sexual assault and prepared to file a report. But AiLin, despite the trauma, insisted she didn’t want to involve the police. She claimed it was complicated, that the man who had hurt her might not have meant to.

What crushed the doctor most was AiLin’s parents. Upon learning of her condition, they dismissed it all, saying she was being dramatic, accusing her of lying for attention. They told the doctor not to pursue the matter. Legally, the clinic couldn’t force a report without the victim’s consent since she was over eighteen.

The physician couldn’t do much as AiLin’s parents didn’t hesitate before threatening his position and license if he was to push this matter to the police, a disgusting act that one would never expect from a parent.

Everything was just discovered by Li ZiChen two nights ago and since then he had been busy trying to discover what had actually happened that night but the clinic was owned by Hua Corporation. Another one of Huas.

They weren’t so willing to give the information to him, especially since he is Li ZiChen, the number one mortal enemy of Elder Hua.

Since then, YanLan and him had discovered a lot of informations, most which isn’t fun to look at but was rather helpful for the future.

"Yan?"

Turning his head around YanLan pulled a wide smile, "Mhm right I forgot what kind of scene you’re supposed to act today?"

"Ah I think it’s an accident scene. It’s about time for the bullies in the story realize who the main character is and decided to collectively kill her for their benefit in this hotel. They used her mother here, calling her that if she ever want to save her mother, she would have to come to the hotel and place all the evidence that could put the bully behind prison."

YanLan furrowed his eyebrows. Not because of what AiLin had said but because he had read the novel initially. He hadn’t finished it till the end but he knew a few thing about the key characters including the main character’s own mother, "But from what I remember her mother is such a heinous woman who didn’t mind dropping all allegation of the bullying that could have caused her daughter’s death in hands of those bullies if it was for her money. She’s also a gambling addict and had abused her as well."

"Indeed," AiLin smiled softly, "What a wonderful mother isn’t she? Reminds of someone so much, someone, a mother who would do anything if it was for her own dearest benefit. Don’t worry, you’ll know what happened when you see the scene."

Tilting his head, YanLan decided on doing what AiLin had told him to do which was simply to "watch".

He sat down with the coffee in hand, seeing as FangMin and InRan in front of the camera acting as though they were far too shocked upon finding who AiLin was and had prepared for an idea on how to attack her.

"This isn’t... This isn’t good," FangMin said to one of the male bully, "We have to make sure that she won’t use those evidence against us! If they find out that I have bought my way to make my paintings famous- and if they found out how you have been avoiding all your taxes by selling those illegal forged branded bags, we are gonna die! ALL OF US ARE GOING TO!"

"Calm down," the male bully said with a click of his tongue, "So what if she’s going to expose everything to the media?"

"What do you mean by so what?"

"Well before she could expose us, we can get rid of her?" The other male bully said with a crackling laughter that sounded like a deadly firework. "I know she’s smart but hey, she’s still weak as she is in high school, someone so easily manipulated when we just bring a word about her family."

InRan let out a loud gasp, "What do you mean?"

"Her mother remember? She would do anything if it’s for money so let us just remind her again how she would have no one on her side and that even her mother would sell her for her own benefit." Sounds extremely fun! Don’t you agree?"

InRan shook her head, "You’re going to use her mother to kill her?"

"No," answered the male bully, "I’m going to have her mother kill her in this very hotel tomorrow. All that you guys have to do is lay low and don’t make further mistake, do all the damage control in case she has other incriminating evidence against us."

"But-" InRan said with her hands wrung, "Isn’t this far too much?! We all did terrible things to her to her in the past, I acknowledge that all of that was my doing but to kill her? I never want to kill her and if we do kill her now, we are only going to make this situation worse!"

"SO WHAT?!" FangMin rushed toward her, grabbing InRan by her collar, "Do you think just because now you regret your action you’re going to let her destroy our life for good? I don’t care if you don’t mind that she reenact her revenge towards you, but over my body will I ever let her do that to me."
