Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu-Chapter 361 Reverse Psychology

Zhan Yahui took off her earphones and heaved a sigh of relief.

That was a close call.

She dialed a number and instructed. "Once they leave, take off the bug and discard it."

She kept her phone aside and leaned back on her chair.

The hell Liu Jun is investigating the fest incident. It was clear that Cai Lingyun was behind it. Then why did he suddenly dig through evidence against Guiying?

She gritted her teeth, feeling annoyed. Nothing was happening her way. First, Mao Jingyi was rescued, raising suspicions about Zixin's accident and the real culprit and now this. On the other hand, Gu Rong was released on bail too.

Sometime later, she saw 'Guiying' enter her office. She was slightly sweaty and breathless.

Zhan Yahui smiled. "What's wrong? How did the meeting with them go?" She asked even though she knew everything.

'Guiying' casted an ugly expression. "That Liu Jun was accusing me of the elevator incident at Shanghai!"

She raised her brow, feigning shock. "Is that so? What did you say?"

'Guiying' snorted. "I handled it somehow, bringing my stupid brother in between."

"Did you mention me anywhere?" Zhan Yahui narrowed her eyes. "I was already clear when you asked for my help to get the footage. There should be no talk about my involvement at all. That was the condition."

"I know. That's why my dear brother was a perfect scapegoat. It didn't sit well with them though. That Liu Jun was hell bent on proving me to be the culprit..."

'Guiying' then glanced at Zhan Yahui with a question in her eyes. "There is one thing I don't understand though."

Zhan Yahui became alert.

"Whenever I talk to Liu Jun, why does it feel that he doesn't know me at all?"

She slightly stiffened.𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

"When I met him in Shanghai, he didn't even glance at me. His attitude was so rude. I thought that bastard was really arrogant. Today, he asked why I am doing all this? Why am I targeting him? I don't get him. Does he have no fear about what he did and how he cheated the idiot girl inside me? He played with her feelings and he doesn't fear retribution at all? He sent flowers and cards to her but is dating Zhou Ai," 'she' angrily laughed, "how can he act as if he is innocent?"

Zhan Yahui was surely rattled by her observation, but she remained calm and poised.

"Even when I expressed my shock over 'realizing' the fact that he is MrPerfect, he looked unaffected and unbothered. Just what is the deal with him?"

She squinted her eyes. "The deal is that he is too rich and has too much time to spare perhaps? Why do you think he will be bothered?"

'Guiying' clenched her jaw. "Playing with her feelings-"

"So? Playing with her feelings but over what? A chat group? Sending flowers and cards under the identity of an unknown username? He might have simply done all that just because he is bored. Do you think people take online stuff so seriously, especially a man of his class and status?" She chuckled.

'Guiying' slightly widened her eyes. "Of course, I know that! But it wasn't just limited to chatting! That fucker sent all sorts of gifts-"

"So?" Zhan Yahui shrugged. "Like I said, it might have been all just a game to him. Do you think if you confront him with this, he would admit that he sent flowers and cards to a woman he never even met personally? Do you think a rich man like him has to take an unknown woman from an online chat group seriously? People will laugh at you."

'Guiying' gritted her teeth. "I still have the cards he sent me." 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

"Doesn't matter, dear," Zhan Yahui smiled and tilted her head. "Is that supposed to be proof? You know that he is MrPerfect, but the world doesn't. He will simply say that he never did such a thing. It could be..." she cautiously said but in a way to ignite her against Jun, "some other man who sent you. Or, even if it came to light that Liu Jun is MrPerfect on Reading Point, he could simply say that that person to send you flowers isn't him. Some other man...might have taken the username?"

Zhan Yahui knew that it was a dangerous territory she was charting in, but she understood that it was necessary. Before somebody else brought that suspicion in 'her' mind, she brought it herself so that she could control the shape of that argument. She was simply using reverse psychology for 'Guiying' to dismiss that argument of another MrPerfect's existence altogether.

'Guiying' grimaced. "That is preposterous. I know people can take any username. I am not saying that there cannot be other people with MrPerfect as their usernames. But the silly woman inside me wasn't talking to the whole world. Reading Point is just one small community she is a part of and there is no other user with MrPerfect as his username over there! He cannot fool me!"

She chuckled. "But he can fool the world, dear. He has the power and influence to do that. If he wants to protect himself and he will if you accuse him, he can make a second MrPerfect appear by the snap of his finger. Money is a wonderful thing, my dear. And what will you be left with? Just mocking and a lot of laughter."

'She' clenched her fists.

The smile from Zhan Yahui's lips then slowly vanished. "Rich people...can think they can do whatever they want because we are helpless before them. In the end, it all comes down to who has the most power."

She glanced at 'her' and said, "That's why heed my suggestion. If you want to go anywhere with your revenge, don't utter even a word about MrPerfect to anybody. Just like Liu Jun did everything in silence, you stay in the shadows too. Ruin him, but don't let him know who was behind it. Revenge is best served cold."
