556: 527 556: 527 Now, only Liu Hun, Su Muqing and two young models were left in the spacious living room.

Liu Hun, leaning on the sofa, said to Su Muqing, “Su Muqing, you think I don’t know these young models were set up, huh?”

Su Muqing, with her scheme uncovered, clamped her lips tight and asked Liu Hun, “How…

How did you know?”

After Jin Zhu saw off Wang Cong, she returned to the living room and quietly stood to the side.

Liu Hun said to Su Muqing, “That day, when I was drinking with Li Tianming at the nightclub, he called over two girls…” Glancing at the young models, Liu Hun continued, “The light was dim and the girls were heavily made-up, so I didn’t get a good look at their faces.

Later, I took a phone call and had to leave.

The next day, the news of Li Tianming’s unexpected death broke out, and I immediately arranged for someone to bail out these young models and brought them here.

Initially, I thought these two were the same girls from that night, but then I remembered a detail.

That detail was…”

Listening to Liu Hun, Su Muqing’s gaze darted around, her heart filled with panic.

“One of the girls drinking with me had a rose tattoo on her arm; I remember it clearly, while their arms are spotless, with nothing on them.

So!

You only brought these two here to set the stage,” Liu Hun declared, slowly standing up and moving closer to Su Muqing, “You’re too clever!

You anticipated that I would surely have the girls taken from the police station, so you found two stand-ins, arranged for them to pretend they were under my control to probe for information.

Even if they turned on you, they couldn’t possibly clarify how Li Tianming was killed that night.

Sadly, the rose tattoo spoiled your plan, and it’s why you’re standing here now!”

Su Muqing listened to Liu Hun’s words, feeling ice-cold all over as she clutched her fists tightly, lips pursed, at a loss for what to do.

“Lawyer Jin, please tell me, what are the charges for defamation and conspiracy to commit murder?” Liu Hun asked Jin Zhu, looking at the young models.

Upon hearing Liu Hun completely expose their ruse, the two young models were stunned, then instantly knelt down before Liu Hun, crying and begging for mercy.

Liu Hun kicked the two young models away and said, “I gave you a chance, but you didn’t treasure it.

Don’t blame me.

From today onward, the two of you can only work the streets.” After that, Liu Hun called Zhong Xiao and ordered, “Zhong Xiao, come in and get these two trashy women out.”

The two young models, sobbing, were dragged away by Zhong Xiao and his men, back to their former line of work.

“Phew,” Liu Hun sighed deeply, standing in front of Su Muqing, and said, “You’re a good director, but sadly you chose the wrong actors, and also…”

With a “rip,” Liu Hun suddenly reached out and violently tore off Su Muqing’s clothes.

“Ah!” Su Muqing screamed, covering her private areas, but the rose tattoo on her shoulder could not stay hidden.

“Aha!

Committing murder, it really had to be done personally by you,” Liu Hun coldly watched the flustered Su Muqing, grabbing her chin and leaning in close to her face, “Tell me, if I hadn’t left that day, wouldn’t there be more dead than just Li Tianming?”

Su Muqing dared not nor wanted to recall the moment Li Tianming died in front of her.

She certainly thought about killing Liu Hun too, but she didn’t know whether she had the resolve or certainty.

Watching Su Muqing’s tears falling drop by drop, Liu Hun snorted coldly, letting go of her, then said to Jin Zhu, “Lawyer Jin, your job here is done.”

“Alright,” Jin Zhu replied and quickly left the villa.

Su Muqing sat on the floor powerless, beginning to sob softly.

Liu Hun lit a cigarette for himself and sat leisurely on the sofa, puffing smoke, until Su Muqing stopped crying.

Then he extinguished the cigarette and pulled Su Muqing to sit on the sofa.

“Su Muqing, you’ve had your fun with these games, and those poor actors you found have all been dealt with by me, now it’s time for you to make a choice,” Liu Hun said to Su Muqing.

“What…

What do you want?” Su Muqing asked Liu Hun, her eyes red.

Liu Hun held out a finger and said, “You have two options to choose from.

First, the police learn about your premeditated murder of Li Tianming, and then…

you know.”

Su Muqing’s gaze flitted about in panic; she absolutely did not want to face trial and execution.

“Second, work with me, and I’ll ensure you continue to live the life of your dreams.

Plus!

I’ll give you the reins of Xingle Group, and I won’t interfere,” Liu Hun offered to Su Muqing.

“I will not cooperate with you!” Su Muqing said coldly.

Liu Hun stared at Su Muqing and said, “Su Muqing!

You must understand that it was Xia Huai who plotted against me!

Kidnapped my woman, tried to get me killed!

Now you’re playing the victim for whom?”

Su Muqing, of course, knew everything was caused by Xia Huai, even the current state of Xia Minglang was Xia Huai’s fault, but as a mother, she absolutely refused to admit it.

If it weren’t for Su Muqing holding Xingle Group’s shares and having great influence over Xingle Group, Liu Hun definitely wouldn’t want to sit here bargaining with her.

“Fine!” Liu Hun nodded and then said, “Do you know Xia Huai’s current situation?”

“It’s…

it’s you!

It’s you who doomed him to that fate, isn’t it?” Su Muqing suddenly seized Liu Hun and screamed, Xia Huai had been in prison for not long before a prison violence incident and was now showing signs of mental problems, being held in solitary confinement.

“Let go!” Liu Hun coldly stared at Su Muqing and demanded harshly.

Su Muqing’s burst of anger was swiftly suppressed by Liu Hun’s imposing manner, and she immediately released her grip, her heart tightening and tears flowing once again.

“Hmph!

If it had really been me, I would have taken his life, not left him dragging through the mire like this.” Liu Hun said to Su Muqing, and after Su Muqing calmed down a bit, he continued, “Just agree to cooperate with me, and I’ll add two conditions, first, let Xia Huai be hospitalized outside the prison, I’ll spend a billion to get him out and arrange for the best psychiatrist.”

Su Muqing looked up sharply at Liu Hun, her eyes filled with excitement and disbelief.

“Second, get Xia Minglang to wake up, but I can’t guarantee he will return to normal,” Liu Hun continued.

“Are…

are you serious?

Why would you do this?!” Su Muqing stared at Liu Hun and asked, her chest heaving with emotion for what she’d long hoped for.

“If someone wants to kill you, poses a threat to you, wouldn’t you take defensive measures?!” Liu Hun explained as he slowly stood up, “Everything I did in the beginning was self-defense!

Xia Huai wanted my life, my woman’s life; I had to do it!

Now…” he said, “He and Xia Minglang are no longer a threat to me, and besides!

I need you, so I choose to do this.

Do you understand?”

Su Muqing nodded slowly, Liu Hun’s argument was indeed logical and unassailable, and it was true that Xia Huai had been the first to harbor the intent to kill.

But all that was in the past, what mattered most now was Xia Huai’s release and Xia Minglang waking up.

“Do you agree to work with me?” Liu Hun asked Su Muqing.

“I agree, but…

you must first accomplish one of the things you said for Huai and Minglang, otherwise, how can I believe you?” Su Muqing demanded of Liu Hun.

Liu Hun nodded, picked up the phone, and dialed Jin Zhu, “Lawyer Jin, I’m transferring fifty million to your account immediately, grease all the necessary palms to get Xia Huai medical parole!”

“Okay, I’ll do my best,” Jin Zhu agreed.

Liu Hun hung up the phone, hands in his pockets, looked down at Su Muqing, and said, “The day Xia Huai gets out, I want everything from you!” After that, he turned and left.

Sitting on the sofa, Su Muqing immediately understood the implication of Liu Hun’s words, her heart swirling with mixed feelings.

Minutes later, she snatched up her bag and rushed into the bathroom, needing to have a good cry.

With Su Muqing’s issue temporarily settled, Liu Hun left Qingzhu Villa and headed for Fengye Villa where another big trouble awaited—Yin Hongzhu.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with this female pirate of the seas, but due to a twist of fate, she got involved.

Fengye Villa was surrounded by red maple trees, the perfect spot to enjoy the season, and the villa itself boasted a European style with a strong classical flavor.

After entering the villa, Liu Hun came upon Gao Ran sitting at the table feeding the bound Yin Hongzhu some bread, her expression unwilling, displeased, and scornful.

“Ha!

Finally showed up, I thought your enemies had killed you!” Yin Hongzhu said, turning her head to avoid the bread reaching her mouth.

“Liu Hun!

I don’t want to eat this crap anymore!” Yin Hongzhu said coldly to Liu Hun.

“I’ll make you something,” Liu Hun said calmly to Yin Hongzhu.

Half an hour later, a top-notch Western meal was served at the table, and Liu Hun let Gao Ran release Yin Hongzhu, and the three sat down to eat together.

Yin Hongzhu, fully satisfied from the meal and having finished the red wine, put down her cutlery and looked at Liu Hun with a half-smiling expression, “Quite the talent, I’ve never tasted such a good steak before; it’s true, you’re a jack-of-all-trades.”

“Boss Yin, please leave after eating this meal,” Liu Hun suggested, wiping his mouth with a napkin and addressing Yin Hongzhu, now that all matters had been settled, he did not want to make another enemy.

Gao Ran watched Liu Hun, wanting to say something but ultimately remaining silent.

“Heh!” Yin Hongzhu crossed her pale legs, looking at Liu Hun and said, “Mr.

Manager Liu, now that things are settled and the victory is in your hands, you’re letting me go, huh?

Hasn’t Manager Liu ever heard the saying, ‘It’s easy to invite the devil in but hard to send him away’?”

“If Boss Yin plans on staying with me for a few more days, unconcerned about your big business, I don’t mind; I’ll have Gao Ran prepare more bread and milk for you,” Liu Hun said as he stood up, gesturing that he was about to leave.

“Hey!

Liu Hun!” Yin Hongzhu immediately called out to him, unable to bear this sort of house arrest, tired of bread and milk.

“Any further commands, Boss Yin?” Liu Hun asked Yin Hongzhu.
