CHAPTER 428 – Confronting The Culprits
"Thank you very much for being a spy for her and making things easier for me," Li Jing said then turned her attention towards the door ignoring them.
"Young miss," Bei Ai quickly called out, intending to plea but Li Jing was not ready to give her any listening ear.
"You out there, come in and take them out."
"Young miss, please I beg of you. I do not want to go to jail, please."
Quickly Bai Ai went on her knees before Li Jing. She knew she was going to be in trouble for this. She had only decided to d this due to the extra cash that Hu Qi was offering. It would go a long way in helping her family.
But now… see how it ended.
The doorknob turned with the door being pushed open and two bodyguards walked in.
"Young miss, you called," the first man quickly said.
"Yes, please take them out and you call for the head butler, arrange and throw their things out fo this house. Meanwhile, put a call through to the station, and have them come and arrest these traitors."
"Noted ma."
"Ahhh!"
Hearing this, Bei Ai had no other choice but to scream. She was finished.
Knowing who the Lin Family was, a small matter could be blown not to talk of when it involved the life of the Patriarch of the Lin family.
She was done for. Even if they did not give her a heavy sentence, the fact that it would be in her record that she was jailed would be even worse. It could ruin her career in life and she may not be able to work freely again.
Not wasting time, Li Jing turned around, ready to leave when she felt something heavy on her legs.
"Young Miss, please. I beg of you. Please do not take me to the station, please. I am begging you. Anything but that."
"Get your hands and body off me, this instant," Li Jing calmly ordered, her anger not yet showing. She did not want to let her emotions get the best of her as it was wrong to make any decision based on emotion.
But if she did not leave there now, she may be forced to say or do something wrong.
What made it worse was the fact that Wang Ju was not saying anything. She peeled her eyes off the weeping Bei Ai, averting her gaze to the number one criminal.
"As for you," she pointed at Wang Ju who turned her gaze elsewhere. "Be prepared to have a worse sentence than she would be having. Not only were you a traitor, but you also fed my father with poison secretly."
"I never did any of this. I do not know why you are framing me, wrongly."
"Tsk, tsk. So even the devil still had not yet abandoned you, right? Do not worry about that. By the time the judge watches all your videos where you have been secretly adding poison bit by bit to his meal and drink, then you would know if really you are the one or not."
"Young miss please, have mercy on us," Bei Ai cried again.
"I cannot have mercy on those who did not show my family mercy. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Since my kindness and that of my family has been taken for granted, I will prove to the world not to mess with us, ever again. As for Hu Qi, she should be prepared. I have forgiven her time and time again, yet she refuses to learn. This time I would not be lenient."
"Ah, young miss, please. I swear I would do anything you ask of me, anything but please do not take me to jail."
"Anything huh?"
"Yes, ma." She kept on nodding her head like one Agama lizard, at Li Jing. Right now, she would do anything or say anything that would get her out of trouble for the sake of her future.
"You sly betrayer!" Wang Ju cursed as she looked at the puny excuse for a human being lying on the ground.
She felt so disgusted that Bei Ai could fall just like that. Didn't she know whom they served?
"How can you betray the elder auntie like that? After what she gave you? You are a big traitor," Wang Ju accused.
"You are the biggest traitor, you and only you, Wang Ju. Should I wait and go to jail first?"
"Did you trust Madam Hu Qi or not? Do you think she won't save us? I would remember to tell her to leave you to rot in the prison. Just you wait and see."

All eyes stared in disbelief. It was so sudden that even Wang Ju never expected it. All she could do with her eyes open wide was to try and reach up to touch her cheek but before her fingers could graze the skin she stopped.
It burned her deep within like a bee just stung her but she feared that touching it may also make it worse.
"You have the nerve to say that before me!" Li Jing yelled at Wang Ju, her eyes beaming with rage as she stared the younger lady down.
Enough of people always looking at her as though there was nothing she could do. Even she herself could do so much to hurt a human being.
"How dare you say that before me. Watch and see how well you serve your time in jail and see if you would have my aunty helping you."
"Young miss, please. Do not mind Wang Ju. Wang Ju," she turned to face the other girl. "Quickly kneel and beg young miss not to take you to jail. It is over."
"Shut up. It is not over yet. Unlike you, I won't beg."
"It is over. Don't you see it? We are goners. Young miss has all the proof. Stop being so stubborn and foolish and do the right thing. We were wrong."
"I believe in Madam Hu…"
POW!
