Chapter 1175 - 1175 1175 Making a Decision

Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175: Making a Decision Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175: Making a Decision Luo Ziling didn’t attend the meeting in the afternoon, and Chen Wanqing, now Huang Menglan, had also missed the afternoon session.

Luo Ziling had actually wanted to join the learning session, but Wuyue had called him, claiming something urgent needed to be reported in person, so he went to meet her.

As for Chen Wanqing, she was so tormented by Luo Ziling that she couldn’t get out of bed.

A deep sense of fear left her clueless about what to do next.

She hugged her pillow and wept uncontrollably.

But she didn’t want to die. Even though Chen Jiahai was someone special to her, she was now under Luo Ziling’s control and dared not disobey him.

Although she suspected the medicine Luo Ziling had given her was fake, she dared not disregard it.

But to harm Chen Jiahai, she couldn’t bring herself to do it, and this dilemma tortured her soul.

She knew Chen Jiahai didn’t love her. There was only the physical taking and toying with her, like the night before.

But all that she now had was given by Chen Jiahai.

Without Chen Jiahai, she would have nothing left.

What’s more, Chen Jiahai was her first man, and a woman never forgets the first man in her life.

She lay in a daze for several hours until the doorbell rang again.

The doorbell went on for a while before Chen Wanqing finally got up to answer it.

Seeing Luo Ziling standing at the door through the peephole, her legs went weak with fear, and she fell to the floor with a thud.

But in the end, she opened the door trembling with fear.

Only when she opened the door did she realize that she was not dressed, wrapped only in a bath towel.

She quickly covered herself with the towel and ran back to the bed.

“I don’t quite understand, why was the fake identity you created so easily discovered?” Luo Ziling sat down by the bed and asked with a frown, “Your current identity can’t withstand scrutiny. Tell me, why is this?”

“This was arranged by Chen Jiahai. He told me everything was taken care of,” facing Luo Ziling’s cold gaze, Chen Wanqing shuddered and finally confessed, “The original Huang Menglan died due to complications from plastic surgery in South Korea. Chen Jiahai had someone talk to the officials there, and after I replaced Huang Menglan, I didn’t return to work but came directly to attend the meeting. After the meeting, he arranged for me to come to Yanjing to study further.”

“But you two look very different.”

“After the plastic surgery, I looked like a completely different person. There’s nothing strange about that,” Chen Wanqing said with a bitter smile, “You didn’t recognize who I was either, did you?”

Luo Ziling nodded, “Indeed, only after you mentioned it and I looked carefully, I could see a slight resemblance.”

“I will be in Yanjing for a short time and won’t return, so I’m not worried about people from there finding out I’m an imposter.”

“Don’t you suspect that Chen Jiahai did this, hoping your identity would be exposed, and by using others’ hands, eliminate you?” Luo Ziling analyzed patiently, “If you succeed in taking revenge and ruin me, my people certainly won’t let you go, and you won’t escape death. As long as you don’t reveal who instructed you, Chen Jiahai can remain untouched by the law. His plan may not be very meticulous, but it’s cruel. If you succeed in getting your revenge, even if you don’t die by my hand, you’ll die by his, and in the end, you cannot escape death.”

Luo Ziling’s words changed Chen Wanqing’s complexion.

Although she didn’t fully agree with Luo Ziling’s analysis, she also knew that given Chen Jiahai’s way of doing things, it was indeed possible that he would get rid of her.

Every time she thought about it, an unparalleled resentment grew in her heart.

She had already sensed that something was amiss, but she hadn’t dared to think in that direction.

She had still believed that Chen Jiahai needed her, as well as her body, and was using her to do things.

“But… if I help you, will you kill me too?” Fear of death threw Chen Wanqing into disarray again.

Luo Ziling shook his head, “Killing is against the law, I won’t kill you.”

“You have to protect me!” Chen Wanqing grabbed Luo Ziling’s hand.

Her urgent action caused her to forget the towel she had clutched around her chest, and as a result, the entire towel fell off, revealing her near-perfect body to Luo Ziling once again.

She didn’t cover up but pressed herself tightly against Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling brushed Chen Wanqing’s hands away with a hint of disgust and stood up.

“As long as you repay Chen Jiahai in the same way, otherwise your life won’t last long,” Luo Ziling said coldly, staring at Chen Wanqing, “At least, I’m not as ruthless as Chen Jiahai. If you help me succeed in the task, I will reward you.”

Finally, he added, “I’m not afraid of you revealing this to Chen Jiahai. Since he dares to take revenge on me, I can pay him back in the same way; there’s nothing wrong with that. He’s repeatedly tried to destroy me, and one day I’ll take his dog’s life. If you don’t see the error of your ways and continue to work for him, even if I spare you today, I will take your life in the future. Do the job well, then come to me for the antidote.”

Luo Ziling said this and handed a pill to Chen Wanqing, “This is a temporary relief pill; its effect will last until the afternoon the day after tomorrow. I’m giving you time to seriously consider, but I hope you don’t disappoint me.”

Luo Ziling said, tossing the pill in front of Chen Wanqing and turning to leave the room.

This pill was the special medicine.

Chen Wanqing hurriedly picked up the pill, stuffed it into her mouth haphazardly, then reached for the water bottle Luo Ziling had left on the bedside, and drank half of it in one go.

After taking the pill, she sat dazedly on the bed for a while and felt her consciousness clearing up before she finally got down.

Bare, she walked to the bathroom, stood in front of the mirror, and looked seriously at her near-perfect face and body for a while.

“Why do you all have to push me so hard?” Chen Wanqing angrily smashed a cosmetic bottle from the vanity onto the mirror.

The plastic bottle bounced a few times then fell to the floor without breaking.

She silently picked it up and placed it back on the table, and the angry look on her face slowly faded away.

Just then, her phone rang, but she didn’t answer it.

After the phone stopped ringing, she finally stepped out of the bathroom.

When she saw the call was from a number Chen Jiahai often used to contact her, she shuddered.

Ultimately, she returned the call.

“Boss, the plan didn’t work; he didn’t fall for it!” Chen Wanqing said despondently, “He has a certain resistance to women.”

“You’re so useless,” Chen Jiahai snapped angrily, “What did you promise last night? You have to succeed today; you’ve disappointed me too much. Let me tell you, his people are already investigating me. You must destroy him before he gets to the bottom of this, make him wish he was dead; otherwise, I will kill you.”

After Chen Jiahai hung up the phone angrily, Chen Wanqing, unaware of the reason for his anger, hung up blankly.

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, she stared at her body for a while, then bit her lip and made a decision.
