Chapter 629 - Conspiracy 2: Laying It Out.

CHAPTER 629
“Not so fast.”
He sat up straight, bringing his still intertwined hand on his desk as he watched the two women calmly. “I never said I supported you ladies.”
“But you have to. We are bringing to the table a way for you to get your revenge back so what is hard for you to accept. Or wouldn’t you want revenge?” Lin Xuilan bombarded him again.
She did not want to give him any breathing space to have so much time to think his way out of this.
They both were on the losing side and did not have so much again, besides they needed someone to be able to take the fall for them if things went wrong, that was why they were looking for a collaborator in their plan.
“You seem too much in a rush ma,” he pointed out before looking at Lin Qi. “Look at auntie Hu Qi here. She is so calm and collected. I think you should mirror her. We are talking about an important matter here. There is no rush. We have all the time.”
“Keep wasting time and you watch her slip through your fingers. We came here with an option.”
“Hmm, what is that?”
“Good. Now you seem more or less interested.” She pointed out, then looked over to the calm and collected Lin Qi, silently asking her approval to continue with the talk.
Nodding her head, Lin Qi relaxed in her chair and allowed Lin Xuilan to carry on. At first, she wanted to cut in rudely because Lin Xuilan was taking things too far.
To Lin Qi, Kim Fan was right when he said this kind of thing should be taken calmly. They were talking about a plot here. It was first best to see if the party was willing to act with them before laying down their cards on the table.
But seeing his interest, she decided to let it play out. After all, they could deny him if things went wrong and he told on them. Not that he was counting it to happen because li Jing really did turn him into public ridicule.
“You see, we believe if anyone wanted to act, now was the time to do so considering the recent attack she just had.”
“But wait. If you look at it this way, it would be wise not to act now because her husband and grandfather would have her security tightened and their eyes on the look ou for who wants to harm her. So taking any action now, would not be the best idea.”
“As true as what you said is, I believe they already figured out who their enemy was. Have you been watching the news lately?”
“I have.”
“Good because you would confirm what am saying. You cannot have another double, almost the same kind of accident in two days and think it normal. I believe Ye Cheng got his revenge and it would not even lead them to us because he would think hit is his enemies still attacking.”
Okay, he had not yet reasoned the matter in such a way but from what she said, it really was sensible.
“No one would want to act now, making it the perfect time to and he wouldn’t expect it to be from us as he would have thought his warning went through and giving his enemy, I do not think they relent, so why should we?”
“Well…” he began but she was not done and she cut in again.
“Think about it though. The fact that they could get Li Jing into an accident like that means she is not as strong and protected as we thought. There was always a chance, just that we did not take it.”
The room fell silent instantly as they allowed themselves to brood over their thoughts and the discussion made.
After a while, Kim Fan looked at them keenly. He knew everyone knew of his setback with Li Jing but then that was his own headache to bother with. What he did not know were the motives these two had for coming to him.
Was this a set-up? He just couldn’t figure it out. Good thing he set his phone recorder on the second he saw them.
He had known their family to be close but then he also knew that Lin Xuilan’s son, Lin Jingyi was the next heir to Lin Zian’s properties and with Li Jing’s arrival things changed.
So she could pretty much understand why she may want Li Jing down but the manner in which they came, in force, it seems there was more than met the eye.
“Fine. I have heard you both. I guess I can go and think about it,” he broke the silence in a calm fashion.
“I doubt if we have time,” Lin Qi chipped in with a knowing smile on her face.
“Yes. Like said, act while the iron is hot not when it is cold.”
“Fine. I have heard you. But first, before I join you two in anything, we should be open, more open in fact, don’t you think?
The two ladies averted their gaze from him and looked at each other and like remoted individuals, they looked back at him. “Haven’t we been open to you about our plans?” Lin Xuilan asked.
“What more do you want?” Lin Qi chipped in.
Smiling at them, he decided to make it known. “At least we already know the reason why I would want to go after her and if I agree to supporting you, I believe if we would be partners, is that not right?”
“Yes,” they chorused.
“Good. Then I also believe that it would be right if I know your reasons too,” he dropped the bomb on them.
“Yes.” They already knew where he was going with this and honestly, they were not comfortable. Only the two of them knew their greed so well and Lin Jie too, now a third party?
“Until now you haven’t said it which brings me to the question…. Why do you want Li Jing down?”
