The second memory happened recently, with the exact year, month and day, just six days later, and involved a woman whom she called sister when she was a child.
The woman's name is Li Qiushuang, a subordinate of the Wang family and the daughter of Li Ze.
In her childhood memories, Li Qiushuang had beautiful long black hair, but in her dream, she had dyed it into an eye-catching burgundy color. Perhaps because she had been away from home for too long, and was spoiled by her family, and was naturally difficult to discipline, her behavior was shocking, cruel and dissolute. Chen Tinghan provoked her by coincidence and was almost eaten alive by her.
This was the source of Wang Jinling’s vague jealousy.
Wang Jinling was thinking about the other person. As the saying goes, "Speak of the devil, and he will appear." Shi Zirui suddenly turned to her and said, "There's a phone call for you. Please note your name is Li Qiushuang."
"No." Wang Jinling said calmly.
Not answering the call didn't mean hanging up. Shi Zirui placed her phone on the armrest, letting it vibrate. She tentatively asked, "Who is this?"
Wang Jinling looked at the note she got from Li Zishan and said with a half-smile, "This is a hostage that Li Ze specially invited back from abroad."
"Ah?" Shi Zirui asked doubtfully, "Is this a metaphor?"
"Literally." Wang Jinling said slowly, "He teamed up with outsiders to bring down Zhang Keqi and divided up the industries that Zhang Keqi was originally in charge of. If he and that bitch Ai Chunxiao took the lion's share of the cake, it would inevitably cause criticism and cause grief to others. Wang Kai would be left alone in the future.
So Li Ze has to have a bite of this cake, but Li Ze is his right-hand man, and his power is even greater than Zhang Keqi's. If he eats another bite of this cake, he will be too fat and Wang Kai will be worried.
"Ah—" Shi Zirui dragged out the words, then said, "Hostages for cake."
Wang Jinling nodded and said, "Li Ze has no relatives, no wife, only two mistresses, each of whom gave birth to two children. One mistress died, and the remaining mistress took the two children abroad. It can be said that Li Ze is now free of ties and weaknesses. People without weaknesses are the most terrifying."
"What if someone like Li Ze doesn't care about anything and becomes a Chen Shimei?" Shi Zirui asked.
"Li Ze doesn't have the courage to be Chen Shimei. He sold his mistress but not his children." Wang Jinling smiled and said, "Wang Kai is definitely not the black-faced Bao Gong who would dare to kill his daughter. I think Li Ze originally wanted to let his daughter come back alone, because everyone would think that Li Ze only doted on this daughter and ignored his other son. The deterrent effect of holding his daughter hostage was strong enough.
But he should still want to keep his son to carry on the family line, and now for some reason, both the brother and sister have returned."
Shi Zirui analyzed softly, "With his life and property in their hands, Li Ze must be having a headache right now."
Wang Jinling smiled and said, "This is a good thing. Li Ze now has a weakness, so let's give him a push and force him to become the Chen Shimei."
