To Defeat Scum, You Must Start Early, My Lady

Song Zhizhi took a deep breath and walked back to her table.

Nie Xiaofei was a little upset at the moment. A rude waiter had just bumped into her and dirtied her clothes. She wanted to lash out but could not because she had to keep her status in mind, so she could only endure. When she saw Song Zhizhi coming back, she quickly put on a smile. “Sis.”

Song Zhizhi pretended she did not see Nie Xiaofei’s expression a second ago. She sat back down and said indifferently, “Yi Wenhan is coming over.”

“Are you finally going to give him a proper explanation?” asked Nie Xiaofei.

“Yeah,” Song Zhizhi nodded.

Nie Xiaofei smiled. “That’s the way. It’s always better to make things clear.”

Song Zhizhi could not be bothered exposing Nie Xiaofei. If she had guessed correctly, Nie Xiaofei was probably trying to send her to Yi Wenhan’s bed tonight. Nie Xiaofei would obtain concrete proof of the affair between her and Yi Wenhan so that Song Zhizhi would be powerless to deny it. Yi Wenhan coming over just made her plan a lot more convenient to carry out. Of course she would be happy.

Yi Wenhan rushed over and arrived less than twenty minutes later.

Nie Xiaofei asked the waiter to prepare another seat.

Song Zhizhi watched without a word as the waiter brought a glass over and filled it with red wine for Yi Wenhan.

There was nothing that seemed suspicious, but Song Zhizhi was sure that the glass should be a special glass prepared by Ji Baijian.

She withdrew her gaze and shifted it to Yi Wenhan.

Yi Wenhan wanted to say something, but Song Zhizhi quickly interrupted, “Before you say anything, let’s have a toast first. All three of us.”

She took the lead to raise her glass.

Nie Xiaofei and Yi Wenhan did not suspect anything. To be more precise, they had not even considered the possibility that Song Zhizhi would be tricking them. They thought they were on the brink of succeeding in their scheme.

Song Zhizhi drank the entire glass of wine in one go.

Yi Wenhan and Nie Xiaofei did the same.

Song Zhizhi clearly saw a sly smile appear on Nie Xiaofei’s face for a fleeting moment.

“Zhizhi, I apologize for my outburst that night,” Yi Wenhan seemed extremely apologetic.

“It’s nothing,” said Song Zhizhi indifferently.

“But… is it really impossible between us now?” Yi Wenhan asked, emotional.

“Yeah,” Song Zhizhi nodded, “I’ve said everything that needs to be said.”

Yi Wenhan acted like he was taking it very hard. “I find it impossible to let go of you.”

“Time can heal everything,” Song Zhizhi said coldly.

“Do you really feel nothing for me anymore?” Yi Wenhan asked with strong emotions.

She did feel something.

She felt immense disgust.

Song Zhizhi said, “The feeling has faded away.”

Yi Wenhan could hardly hold himself back any more.

He could not accept Song Zhizhi’s sudden changes. Even more than that, he could not accept that his efforts for all these years, all those time spent whispering gentle and loving words at Song Zhizhi, had all gone to waste.

He forced back his anger. Thinking of what was to come, he managed to calm down significantly. “In that case, I will not be pestering you any more. But if you encounter any problems in the future, or find yourself unhappy, I’m always available to lend an ear. I hope we can remain friends.”

Song Zhizhi nodded indifferently.

“Let us drink to our heart’s content tonight,” proposed Yi Wenhan.

He was acting as if he was trying to drown out his sorrow with alcohol.

Nie Xiaofei quickly agreed, naturally. Song Zhizhi did not refuse either.

After that, the three of them talked less and drank more. The hour gradually grew late, and the crowd in the restaurant grew sparse.

The three of them had drunk no small amount of wine. Song Zhizhi was actually not a good drinker, but she could not help herself. With her fuzzy vision, she saw her two dinner companions drop unconscious on the table.

So, the drug had taken effect?

Song Zhizhi’s mouth curled up into a smile. She moved her body slightly to look around with hazy eyes. A figure came over and, and a familiar voice said, “Someone will take care of the rest.”

“Mm.” Song Zhizhi smiled sweetly at Ji Baijian with her face flushed. She was quite the lovely sight.

She was truly grateful for his help at that moment.

Ji Baijian seemed to be stunned for a second, before he turned around and led the way.

Song Zhizhi followed behind him. Her vision was a bit blurry and her gait a bit unsteady.

Ji Baijian led Song Zhizhi to the elevator.

The beautiful and dazzling night scenery of Jin City could be seen from inside the sightseeing elevator.

Song Zhizhi felt a little weak. She leaned on the elevator wall and looked out of the glass with unfocused eyes.

Both of them remained silent.

The elevator arrived at the ground floor. Ji Baijian’s long legs stepped out of the elevator, Song Zhizhi following close behind.

At the front door of the hotel, the door attendant respectfully held open the door of Ji Baijian’s high class black luxury car for him, then held open the door of the back seat for Song Zhizhi. Song Zhizhi climbed inside, and Ji Baijian drove away.

Song Zhizhi had no idea where Ji Baijian was taking her. He was definitely not sending her home.

But she did not seem worried. She leaned on the window to look out of it without a word.

Inside the quiet car, Ji Baijian suddenly broke the silence. “Is it alright to send them both into one room?”

“What?” Song Zhizhi’s mind appeared to be in a daze.

“Is it alright to send both Yi Wenhan and Nie Xiaofei into one room?” Ji Baijian repeated impatiently.

Song Zhizhi was a little annoyed at his tone. ‘Why does this guy have so little patience?’ she thought.

She replied, “Yeah, one room.”

She swore that she would pay back all the suffering they caused her in her past life twice as much in this life! She could only imagine the look on their faces!

The car was quiet again. It remained quiet until it finally stopped.

Song Zhizhi looked around. The place was a little dark. She heard the faint sound of waves in the distance. So it’s a harbor?

She had no idea why Ji Baijian had brought her here. She lowered the window and let the cool breeze drift in from the outside. That made her feel better.

The sudden cold wind seemed to annoy Ji Baijian a little. He turned to glare at Song Zhizhi, but did not say anything in the end.

Within that atmosphere that was so quiet that it was a little suffocating, Song Zhizhi saw Ji Baijian take out a tablet and turn it on. On the screen, Song Zhizhi saw two sleeping figures moving their body slightly on a large bed in a luxury suite.

Song Zhizhi knew that a spectacular show was about to begin.

She stared fixedly at the screen.
