Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu-Chapter 351 Decoding The Past (2)

All these bizarre happenings were actually beginning to make sense to Jin. There couldn't be a man in the party when that identity was a woman in reality.

Jun asked, "What happened to Cai Guiying in the party later?"

Jin said, "I don't know about that. I just saw her and Shui talk once. Where did she go after that or when did she leave, I have no clue."

He narrowed his eyes. "Something did happen in that party. Maybe we didn't catch it but something related to Cai Guiying occurred because after that...Cai Lingyun became my butler and Sky..."

Jin stiffened. "What? Sky? You don't mean to say that she had to do anything with Sky's downfall, right?"

"Why can it not be possible? The timing matches once again. Sky also collapsed shortly after her birthday party. Somebody leaked my CEO identity to the public."

"But how will she know that you are the CEO? It's only possible if..." Jin gritted his teeth, "Shui told her about it."

Shui...

Jun's mind was spinning with all sorts of theories and conspiracies. "So there was never a spy? I thought that somebody sent a spy in Sky and leaked my identity. But if Shui knew Cai Guiying and if she told her about me as a friend, then there is no need for a spy anymore."

"Will Shui just easily reveal your identity like that?" He was incredulous.

Jun shook his head. "Among all the members of Reading Point, Warlord was the only one a little closer to Shui and me. Online, we had become quite good friends though as Warlord, he was very annoying to me. Nevertheless over the years, he became our good friend. That's why she must have invited Warlord to her party, considering how close they became. Since Warlord knows me as MrPerfect, it isn't far-fetched for Shui to talk to Warlord about me. It actually falls into place, Jin..."

His eyelashes fluttered as he continued. "Warlord was there in CherryBlossom's book-signing event. 'He' said he would be there and wanted to eagerly meet me. But I avoided him," his lips parted in shock, "Cai Guiying was also there. It was her own signing event. That's why Warlord said he would be there too. Shui came to Shanghai to meet Warlord and Cai Guiying was there once again. They are one and the same people!"

Jin clenched his fist in a fury. He thought that Guiying was just one of another Shui's friends, but how did she turn out to be the possible cause of everything?

"If everything...let's say this is true. But I still don't get why Cai Guiying would do this to destroy you? Why ruin Sky? Why send Cai Lingyun to your place? What happened when Cai Lingyun worked for you?"

Jun trembled. "Nothing much really...He just worked for me."

"Impossible. If their existences so acutely fit in our last life, then Cai Lingyun must have an agenda!"

Jun stared at him and answered. "You remember I told you that I had no clue about Great-grandma's last wish to meet me?"

Jin froze.

"He was there at that time. He used to live at my place in his separate quarters."𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

Jin felt his heart beat faster. He suddenly didn't wish to know anything further thought on the other side of the spectrum, he also wanted to.

"You don't mean that he...somehow prevented you from getting the news to you? Wait a minute...was that servant him when I came to your condo?"

? Jun blinked. "You came to meet me?"

"Of course I did! When Great-grandma was suffering and was asking for you, I called you so many times to come back home. When you didn't answer my calls, I came to your condo to talk to you. But when I reached there, a butler met me at the entrance. He was wearing a mask on his face. I could only see his eyes. He bowed and said he worked for you, and when I asked him about you, he said you weren't there. You weren't even in the city." 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

Jun could only feel more and more aghast, listening to this. "What? This is nonsense. I never left Beijing!"

He froze.

Impossible...S-so...he lied to me?

"Jin, I never left the city. I was hardly in my senses to even move out of my house. I was devastated after Shui's rejection. Why will I think of going out of the city?"

Jun covered his face in his palm, his heart beating erratically with fear and an impending doom. "Jin...It was Cai Lingyun who broke the news of your and Shui's wedding ceremony to me?"

Jin rapidly blinked his eyes. "I don't understand."

He gnashed his jaw, his blood dangerously reaching the boiling point of anger. "I don't remember clearly. But I was really drunk on your wedding day. I think I was in an accident or some sort. When I woke up, Cai Lingyun or Tang Gengxin - that was his name when he worked for me. He told me quite sorrowfully that he heard about your and Shui's wedding."

Jin's eyes slowly widened. "The hell..." he cursed under his breath. "How can he know about it!? Apart from the families, no outsider was a part of the wedding ceremony. You know in which circumstances I agreed to marry her. We were hardly in the mood to make a celebration out of it and invite guests. There is no way that fake butler would know about Shui and my wedding."

"Unless Cai Guiying told him about it. Shui and she already met at her birthday party. I don't know what happened in the party or after that, but they seemed to have maintained contact. "

Jin's gaze darkened. "And Shui will invite her so-called friend to the wedding in such a situation as if it's good news? No way. It's not like there were other of Shui's friends invited. It was only our families."

Jun recalled the threads.

'The threads represent a puppet.'

"Yeah, I am pretty sure..." he squinted his eyes, "the news didn't travel to Cai Guiying as a FRIEND."
