Chapter 86: Crack [1]

Ren Yuheng and Su Wentao both found it unbelievable. After the two of them entered the room and heard Jiang Leier recount the whole affair, they could not help but darken their expressions.

Su Wentao ground his teeth and said in fury, “So this is Yan Yu, acting so ordinary on the surface, yet hiding such a scheming heart. No wonder my sister brought him home!”

“This is no small matter. What if he has even deceived your sister as well?” Ren Yuheng said gravely. “His background is unknown. He may have deliberately approached your sister in order to plot something improper against the Su family!”

Su Wentao was startled by those words. “Then what do we do now? That punk already knows we’re targeting him.”

Ren Yuheng lowered his head in thought, and soon said, “After all, this is Yan Yu’s room. Right now, we’ll have Leier make herself look as though she has just been violated, then take a few photos. That will give us both witnesses and evidence. By then, Yan Yu won’t be able to explain himself no matter what he says!”

Su Wentao’s eyes lit up. “As expected, Brother Yuheng, you’re the shrewd one. Then what are we waiting for?”

Jiang Leier was somewhat displeased that Ren Yuheng kept making her do this sort of thing again and again, but since Ren Yuheng was her boss, whatever the boss said, she had to do it.

So she gently tugged down her collar, revealing a great deal of her pale chest, and pushed her skirt all the way up to the roots of her thighs. Lying on the bed, she wore an expression of utter shame.

“Good, just like that. Keep still. We’ll take the pictures now.” Smiling, Su Wentao pulled out his phone and aimed it at Jiang Leier, and then—

Click—

Su Wentao froze. He clearly had not pressed the shutter.

Click—

Click—

Click—

Another burst of three shots. The flash dazzled Su Wentao so badly that his eyes blurred. He stiffly twisted his neck and looked toward Yan Yu and Yang Xuefei standing at the guestroom door.

“...”

“...”

“...”

This Yan Yu really was no simple man. He had actually played them at their own game and trapped them instead!

Yan Yu took Yang Xuefei’s phone and kept snapping photos of the three of them, all the while calling out in a low voice, “Come quick, everybody! Come look! Young Master Su and Young Master Ren are in the guest room taking indecent private photos of their secretary!”

The shameless sight made even Yang Xuefei, standing nearby, want to give Yan Yu a beating.

Jiang Leier finally reacted. Hastily wrapping herself in the blanket, she cursed at Yan Ning, “You’re talking nonsense... That’s not what happened at all!”

“You have both witnesses and evidence. You still want to deny it?” Yan Yu shook his phone and said with a smile.

Ren Yuheng suppressed the urge to strangle Yan Yu, and said with a dark face, “Yan Yu, I advise you to delete those photos you should never have taken. Otherwise, you’ll be in trouble. Very big trouble.”

Yan Yu said indifferently, “Hasn’t trouble already come looking for me?”

“You punk...!” Su Wentao shouted in anger. “Don’t be so ungrateful when someone’s being polite to you.”

“Face is your own; no one gives it to you. Compared to me, the two of you sneaking around in the middle of the night to pull this stunt is the truly shameless thing, isn’t it?” Yan Yu said with a smile. “Let me give you a word of advice: don’t do shady things behind people’s backs. I, Yan Yu, don’t buy that.”

Ren Yuheng stared coldly at Yan Yu without speaking. The atmosphere grew heavy to the extreme.

Suddenly, Ren Yuheng let a faint smile appear on his face. “As expected of the man Su Han has taken a liking to, Yan Yu, you are indeed something.”

“Likewise.” Yan Yu knew Ren Yuheng was speaking sarcastically.

Su Wentao said anxiously, “Brother Yuheng, those photos in that punk’s hands can’t be kept. What if he sends them out?”

Ren Yuheng smiled faintly. “He won’t. Compared with those who do wicked things, the petty cowards who hide in the shadows and quietly snitch are equally detestable. I believe Yan Yu is not that kind of person, and he won’t do such a thing.”

Yan Yu shrugged. He felt that Ren Yuheng had misunderstood him. If he wanted to post the photos, he would post them; the opinions of others were not worth mentioning to him. By the same token, those photos and Ren Yuheng’s reputation were equally not worth mentioning to him.

In other words, he could not be bothered to waste effort arguing with Ren Yuheng.

“Today, I can say I have truly witnessed Mr. Yan’s remarkable skill. I hope that tomorrow, at the birthday banquet, you can perform just as well and win Old Master Su’s favor.”

“Mr. Ren need not trouble himself.”

Ren Yuheng nodded, then exchanged a glance with Jiang Leier and Su Wentao. “Let’s go.”

“Hey, wait.” Yan Yu suddenly said.

Ren Yuheng’s expression darkened. He thought Yan Yu was about to make things difficult for him again.

Who would have thought Yan Yu would smile and say, “The room has already been changed. You can stay here. I’ll leave.”

Then Yan Yu took Yang Xuefei and vanished from Ren Yuheng’s sight.

Jiang Leier lowered her head and sighed. She had not expected that even as he left, Yan Yu would still set her up—because the bathroom in this guest room was broken.

“This Yan Yu is simply going too far!” Su Wentao slammed the table in rage.

Ren Yuheng let out a cold snort. “This man’s scheming heart is indeed rare to see, but a sparrow will always be a sparrow. He can never become a phoenix, no matter how hard he tries.”

“So what can we do? If we keep making trouble for that punk and he gets pushed too far, what if he lashes out and releases our photos?” Su Wentao, though a decadent young master, still cared very much about his image. Besides, if those photos were leaked, his father, Su Hanxue, would certainly never forgive him.

Ren Yuheng said, “Who was that woman beside Yan Yu just now?”

Su Wentao was taken aback and thought it over. “Seems like... a woman named Yang Xuefei, also from Rongcheng. Right, she comes from a scholarly family, and I heard she’s about to enter the entertainment industry.”

“The entertainment industry?” Ren Yuheng suddenly bared his teeth in a smile. “What a coincidence. Tomorrow, that rising idol Tong Kunkun will also be attending the birthday banquet. I happen to know him a little. Then I’ll have him make things difficult for Yan Yu and Yang Xuefei!”

Ren Yuheng had everything figured out clearly. Since he could not lay hands on Yan Yu himself, he would disgust Yan Yu by targeting his friend Yang Xuefei instead. He would not act directly; he would merely make life unpleasant, and Yan Yu would have even less room to retaliate.

Jiang Leier sat on the bed, watching the two of them discuss their countermeasures, and could not help but sigh.

For some reason, she had a nagging feeling that something would still happen tomorrow...

...

Yang Xuefei seemed unwilling to get involved in the conflict between Yan Yu and Su Wentao, so she simply asked nothing and pretended to know nothing, which spared Yan Yu a great deal of trouble.

The only thing she asked about was Su Han. The girl was quite perceptive and managed to guess most of what had happened. After Yan Yu gave a brief explanation, she understood everything.

Yan Yu returned the phone to Yang Xuefei, chatted with her casually for a few moments, and then went back to Jiang Leier’s room.

Jiang Leier’s luggage was still there, and the bed carried a faint scent of her body. Not long after, Jiang Leier came to collect it, sullen beyond words, and packed everything away. Before leaving, she even shot Yan Yu a fierce glare.

“Take care now. If you get the urge to pee tonight, you can come borrow my bathroom~” Yan Yu waved farewell.

“Get lost!” Jiang Leier nearly ground her teeth to pieces.
