Ling Hao's lips were pressed into a tight line, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. After a moment's silence, he slowly spoke in a low, firm voice, "I understand!" With that, he turned and left the CEO's office, each step heavy.
As soon as he left the office, his phone rang rapidly, as if urging him to do something. Ling Hao picked up the phone irritably, and the other party's voice came immediately: "What's going on?"
He glanced at the tightly closed door of the CEO's office, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and irritation. "That woman isn't as weak as she appears. Everything that happened before was probably just an elaborate disguise." His tone was filled with resentment, as if he was regretting his previous misjudgment.
The voice on the other end of the phone was still indifferent, but with a hint of unquestionable majesty: "So what about the current plan?"
Ling Hao took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. "Let's put it aside for now! Don't act rashly these days. If Su Xiaxia just said she could find it, there's no reason Ling Chengzhi couldn't find it. It's obvious they might be fishing for bait."
His analysis was calm and profound, revealing a keen insight into the situation.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a brief instruction: "Got it, be careful of that woman Su Xiaxia."
At this time, Song Jiao was looking at the screen of the system, watching the conversation between Ling Hao and the person on the other end of the phone, with a playful smile on her lips.
"Are all conversations between villains so boring?" she muttered to herself.
She is not a fool. Ling Hao's target has always been the entire Ling family. How could he be so kind?
Her gaze turned to another picture on the screen, which was the weak figure of Ling Zhunxing.
The phone rang again. Song Jiao picked up the phone and heard Ling Zhunxing's slightly weak voice from the other end: "Xia Xia, what did you say to Ling Hao? Don't you know that there are surveillance cameras in the office?"
Song Jiao chuckled, her laughter filled with mockery and disdain. "Why don't you just call Ling Hao and ask him? Or guess what he said?" Her tone was relaxed and casual, as if she were chatting with a friend.
Ling Chengzhi took a deep breath, his voice filled with anxiety: "Did he tell you that your parents' death had something to do with me?"
Song Jiao's smile instantly faded, and a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.
"So what?" she said lightly. Some people still have some idea in their minds!
Ling Zhuxian argued eagerly, his voice trembling, "What he said is nonsense, don't take it to heart!"
His eyes were full of anxiety, as if he was afraid that Song Jiao would believe those nonsense.
Song Jiao was silent for a moment, her eyes deep, as if she was weighing something.
Finally, she spoke slowly, her voice cold and decisive, "It's no big deal, let it be."
After saying that, she hung up the phone without hesitation, stood up and left the office, every step she took seemed so decisive.
Her target was clear, and she rushed directly towards Lin Suya who was strolling in a bustling shopping mall.
Song Jiao knew that without Lin Suya as a "catalyst", how could she legitimately cause "trouble" for Ling Chengzhi?
The mall was crowded with people. When Song Jiao "accidentally" met Lin Suya, she deliberately moved closer with a meaningful smile on her face.
Lin Suya took a step back as if she had been scalded, her eyes full of vigilance, "Su Xia Xia, what tricks are you going to play?"
Song Jiao's smile grew even brighter, as if she were enjoying this game of cat and mouse. "I'm just curious. Doesn't Miss Lin have a soft spot for my husband? How come he's in the hospital, and you haven't even seen him? Shouldn't you be in the hospital, taking care of him without taking off your clothes?"
Lin Suya frowned, and the confusion in her eyes became even more intense. "Su Xia Xia, what on earth are you planning?"
All the things that happened in the past made her wary of this woman.
Song Jiao chuckled and stretched out her hand, lightly brushing Lin Suya's cheek with her fingertips. Her movements were gentle but carried a provocation that could not be ignored. "Do you really like him as a person? Or are you coveting the Ling family's wealth? If it's a person, go ahead and pursue him. I have no objection even to having sex with him! If it's property..."
"That's even easier. Even if we get divorced and the property is divided 50-50, with your family's support, Ling Bearing will be able to make a comeback. What do you think?"
Lin Suya's expression changed unpredictably. She was obviously incredulous about what Song Jiao said. "What is your purpose?"
Song Jiao's smile grew brighter, with a crazy glint in her eyes. "I just want more money of my own, that's all." Her words were full of desire for money, and also revealed her contempt for Ling Chengxin.
"Do you think I don't dare to tell him?" Lin Suya tried to fight back, but there was a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
Song Jiao smiled contemptuously, as if looking at an innocent child, "Even if you tell me, I just need to pretend to be innocent. Do you think Ling Chengxin will believe you or me, the one who sleeps beside him?" Her eyes were full of confidence, although she didn't dare to say anything else.
But Ling Chengxin's almost perverted love for the original owner was real.
The lights in the mall were bright, but they couldn't illuminate the undercurrent of the atmosphere between the two people.
Lin Suya looked at the woman in front of her who seemed crazy but was extremely calm, and a chill rose in her heart.
"You're so creepy!" Lin Suya's eyes widened, her tone filled with shock. "I always thought you were deeply in love with Ling Chengxin, but I didn't expect it was just a casual affair?"
Song Jiao's lips curled up into a playful smile, her eyes flashing with a cold light, "I'm just more rational than you. In the face of this illusory love, I prefer the real money that I can hold in my hands. The sense of security that money brings is something that no man can give you."
What's more, that guy Ling Chengxin had been plotting against the original owner for half his life!
Having said that, Song Jiao deliberately paused, her eyes full of sarcasm and provocation.
Lin Suya's face turned pale in an instant. She opened her mouth but found herself speechless.
Theoretically speaking, every word Song Jiao said makes sense and is irrefutable.
But in her heart, she still couldn't let go of her deep affection for Ling Chengxin.
Song Jiao looked at Lin Suya's conflicted expression, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pleasure in her heart.
She slowly withdrew her hand, a cunning glint in her eyes. "I've given you the opportunity. Whether you can seize it depends on whether you have the ability."
After saying that, Song Jiao turned around and was about to leave, but her steps suddenly stopped.
She turned around and looked at Lin Suya with a meaningful look in her eyes, "If you really want Ling Chengzhi, then show your ability and don't let me look down on you."
