I Regained My Memories and Became Rich After Getting Divorced - Chapter 622

Chapter 622: Plot Twist

Li Yuan burst into laughter, incessantly muttering, “Death to those who betray me!”

He met the calm gazes of those around him and the silence enveloping the area, belatedly realizing something was amiss.

Despite the distance to where Fu Jing and Fu Chuan were held, the bomb he had engineered was so powerful that there should have been some noise upon detonation. The complete silence was unsettling.

Li Yuan’s brow furrowed, “What’s going on?”

He reached out, pulling the laptop on the table closer to himself. Staring at the surveillance showing an intact but empty room, Li Yuan was dumbfounded, “Where are they? How did they disappear?”

A surge of rage built up inside him. Just as he was about to confront Gu Dai, a familiar voice tinged with amusement reached his ears.

Fu Jing said, “Looking for me?”

Li Yuan instantly looked up towards the source of the voice. Seeing Fu Jing and Fu Chuan unharmed and waving at him with smiles, he was dumbstruck, “How is this possible? I made sure you were securely tied up. How did you escape?”

Fu Chuan responded, “You did lock us up well, but someone came to our rescue!”

Li Yuan’s brow furrowed deeply as he scanned the surroundings, his gaze finally resting on a tall figure dressed simply, his presence concealed with a mask and hat. Li Yuan clenched his teeth and demanded, “Who are you, and why are you spoiling my plans?”

Staring menacingly at the man, Li Yuan’s eyes widened in recognition upon meeting his gaze, his pupils contracting as he exclaimed, “You’re Su Ting!”

Su Ting chuckled lightly, removing his mask to reveal a refined face, and spoke calmly, “I’m surprised you’re quite perceptive.”

Stunned by the sight of Su Ting, Li Yuan’s mind briefly ceased to function, “Weren’t you supposed to be dead in a plane crash? How are you suddenly here?”

Gu Dai yawned lazily, “We saw something off about the information online and realized it was amiss. The plane crash was just a scene staged with a drone.”

Li Yuan’s eyes filled with disbelief, shaking his head repeatedly, “Impossible, my men watched Su Ting board the plane. How could it just be a staged act?”

He quickly pulled out his phone to call his subordinates, but as time ticked by with no response, Li Yuan realized his men must have been compromised, already having turned against him when they relayed the message.

Furious, Li Yuan cursed, “Useless!”

He soon regained his composure, his gaze intensely fixed on Song Ling who had remained silent, “No matter what, we are together in this. Why don’t you order your men to come out and kill them!”

Song Ling’s eyes remained composed as he walked towards Li Yuan.

Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction, turning to Gu Dai, “I asked you to come alone, yet you brought someone with you. Do you know why I didn’t chase away Song Ling? Because he’s with me. Even if Su Ting isn’t dead, and you managed to rescue Fu Jing and Fu Chuan, you still can’t escape death!”

His eyes wild with frenzy, Li Yuan already envisioned Gu Dai and her group lying dead on the ground. However, the next moment, a sharp pain erupted from his abdomen, forcing his smile to fade as he pushed away Song Ling, who had stabbed him.

Clutching his stomach, his hand quickly covered in blood, Li Yuan stared incredulously at Song Ling, “What are you doing? Are you insane? You should be targeting Gu Dai and Su Ting, not me!”

Song Ling replied seriously, “I’m not insane. I’m perfectly lucid.”

Li Yuan, confused by the unfolding events, protested, “Didn’t we agree to collaborate? Why are you backing out all of a sudden?”

Song Ling sneered, “Our agreement never included killing Gu Dai.”

Li Yuan’s expression stiffened, quickly retorting, “I never truly intended to kill Gu Dai. I was just talking. I planned to fake her death and then secretly hand her over to you!”

As Li Yuan spoke, he looked earnestly sincere, but a hint of panic shimmered deep in his eyes, silently pleading for Song Ling to believe him.

Unfortunately for Li Yuan, things did not unfold as he had hoped.

Song Ling stared intently at Li Yuan, “I have my own ability to think independently. I won’t easily believe what you say.”
