The Hunter and The Prey

The room was in thick silence.

Everyone was looking at Jiang Yue. Their eyes full of questions, inquiring, asking. Wanting to know how she felt.

What they just heard is not just some evidence. It was nothing like they expected.

"Huh. It had been one hell of a rough day boys." Jiang Yue blankly blurted out before she went outside the room without sparing anyone another glance.

Fu Jin immediately followed her.

Jiang Yue didn't know what to say. She was still shocked or maybe more like wondering.

She wondered how come she didn't notice this before. Jiang Mian does not look like Jiang Chanming nor Lu Shi.

She wondered if that Li Qiang also helped destroy her life before. In the near future, Li Qiang will become a part of Jiang Mian's life. Is Jiang Mian aware of his existence in her past life? How about Fu Jin? What it his connection to the man named Li Qiang?

She didn't notice when she arrived in her room. All she knows is that she is already standing at the window. Staring at the light that can be seen outside the mansion.

"She is not my sister," She thought out loud. "And Jiang Chanming is involved in my mother's death."

Her blank look changed into a serious one. Her brows furrowed as fury can be seen slowly rising in her eyes.

Her father just asked someone to kill her mother and maybe including her. What kind of monster is he? Is it not enough that he cheated on her mother?

She clenched her fist. This is the first time that she felt so much hatred against her father.

After her rebirth, she always thought that she could live her life happily. Away from everyone who hurt her. She didn't hate anyone as much as she hated them now.

She always thought what happened in her past life was the product of her own doing. Now it seems that she is wrong...

"I don't know Li Qiang." She heard Fu Jin murmured behind her. "I haven't heard of his name before I asked Bei Ye to investigate all this."

"I will never betray you nor lie to you." He added.

Jiang Yue let out a long sigh as her face relax. "I know."

What she needed is to know now is the whole truth.

"He is planning something against us. We should be ready." She said before she turned towards her laptop.

"I will not file a case against Jiang Mian nor Lu Shi. Prison is just too easy for them." She declared before typing a series of letters.

"I will stand with you. I am always here whenever you need me."Fu Jin assured her. He is even ready to accompany her in hell.

That is how important Jiang Yue is in his life.

Without her then there will be no point in living.

"Hmm..." For some reason, she always felt that she can trust Fu Jin. She thought about his motives before, but she quickly realized that he wouldn't get anything from doing all this.

What she forgot to think is the fact that by doing this, Fu Jin will get her to open her heart for him.

A 'ding' echoed inside the room.

"VIDEO SUCCESSFULLY POSTED ONLINE"

...

On the next day, Jiang Yue called the authorities and asked to let Lu Qian, Jiang Mian, and Yu Chen go. She then went into her office with Fu Jin in tow.

When Jiang Yue arrived, she immediately started working on her computer.

Her company will officially start in a week, of course that includes her cafe.

However, all of her employees started working 2 days ago.

Although she is planning a lot of things against the Jiang Family, she can only do it step by step. She couldn't just ask her grandfather or Fu Jin to destroy them. She will never be satisfied with that.

She started typing into her computer. The first thing that she needed to do is destroy Jiang Chanming. And to do so, she needed to destroy his company first.

An evil smile can be seen in her face as another ding can be heard from her computer.

...

On the other hand, the whole city was in an uproar because of a scandalous video about Jiang Mian and Yu Chen started to spread online.

Guilt and shame can be seen in everyone's faces as the truth came at them like a huge bomb.

Jiang Yue is the innocent one. And everyone judged her, even avoided her like a plague.

"Ayah... how can we be so blind? How can we throw away the diamond while polishing the rock?"

"I know. That Jiang Mian looked so pitiful. I remember seeing her cry in our class once. You would believe that Jiang Yue really bullied her."

"Wahhhh... My Goddess is not a goddess after all!"

"That Jiang Mian is truly shameless. I never thought that she would want to do that to her sister."

"Hmp... and she even dreamed of having Young Master Fu for herself."

"Hohoho... that Jiang Mian is a crazy woman. My uncle told me that Young Master Fu's true beloved is actually the eldest miss of the Jiang family and not Jiang Mian."

"Really? Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes. I heard the same thing from my grandfather. He was able to attend the party last night. He said Young Master Fu declared his love for her"

"Now that I think about it. Young Master Fu will look better with Jiang Yue that with Jiang Mian."

"Hmm, so that's why Jiang Yue did not say anything when the whole school chastised her for seducing Brother Chen. It was because it's not true!"

"Of course how could she seduce that despicable Yu Chen when she already has the perfect man beside her?"

"Jiang Yue will be my only goddess from now on. Ayah... So beautiful and elegant."

The posted video was out of Lu Shi's expectations. She never would have thought that Jiang Yue have the guts to destroy her sister like this.

She was originally happy when she knew that Jiang Yue did not file any case against her daughter. However, what happened next hit her hard.

Jiang Yue's evidence started spreading online like wildfire and she can only sit there and watch as the video ruin her daughter's reputation.

She already asked Jiang Chanming to do something to suppress the video, but he returned empty-handed. He told her that the source of the video is overseas. It is almost impossible to take it out from the web.

Lu Shi can't help but call Li Qiang, but to her surprise, his number is already unreachable. She felt helpless.

Li Qiang warned her not to do anything so she can only sit here trying to pacify her daughter while cursing Jiang Yue.

Speaking of Jiang Mian. When she knew about the video, she erupted into her fury state, She cursed and wished she could kill Jiang Yue,

Jiang Mian couldn't stop her anger. She started breaking expensive vases inside her room.

Not an hour went by without the sound of something breaking or a window falling.

"I will not let you get away with this Jiang Yue! Never!" Jiang Mian raged, her face as red as a tomato. Eyes squinting meanly. She will never forgive Jiang Yue for doing this.

No, she will return all this to her. With interest.

"Xiao Mian, calm down. We will retaliate. Okay? Stop this... Xiao Mian listen to me." Lu Shi said as she hugged her daughter. Tears streaming down her eyes.

"I will take you to see someone in a few days. I want you to be at your best. Convince him that you need his help in destroying Jiang Yue." She said.

"Who?"

"You will know once we see him."

...

Days passed and the video is still raging in the top ten most searched video on the web. By now, everyone in the city is aware of what happened in Jiang Yue's birthday.

The issue intensified.

Jiang Mian, Yu Chen, and even Lu Qian decided to stay at home and hide from the angry gazes of the people

While Jiang Yue decided to go all out with her investigations.

It was the day that Li Qiang will meet Jiang Mian.

"Are you sure this is fine?" Bai'Li asked Jiang Yue for the umpteenth time.

"Why not?"

"Ah..because this could probably land us in prison?" To be honest, Bai'Li is just nervous. Jiang Yue decided to hack into the satellite again and used it to her advantage.

"Well, what's the use of technology if we are not going to take advantage of it?" She answered while seeping her tea.

They are currently in Jiang Yue's office with Fu Jin and Bei'Ye.

After the construction is done, Jiang Yue's office is already up and ready. It had a minimalistic designed with high-end computers and security.

"Are you sure this will work?" Bai' Li asked again as he looked at Jiang Yue, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Why wouldn't it?"

"I mean is it truly fine to listen into people's conversation using this method? What if the military will notice our presence?"

"I just hacked into Lu Shi phone and installed a recording app. What did I do wrong?" Jiang Yue asked confused. She didn't actually believe that she was doing something illegal alright?

Bai'Li was about to retort when he was shushed by Jiang Yue.

"Shushed. Li Qiang just arrived."

"A good show is coming!" Jiang Yue said, her eyes full of mirth.

She did not believe that she was doing something wrong. After all, she is just doing what these people did in her past life.

Hide and lurk in the dark. Waiting for the perfect opportunity to ambush the enemy.

In this life, she will not give them the satisfaction in hunting her.

This time, she will be the hunter, and they will become her prey.
