Tong Le descended the stairs and deliberately chose a corner of the house that was out of sight from any windows to meet Hou Yi.
Hou Yi understood Tong Le's cautiousness; he had thoroughly investigated her. The little corner where they were meeting was completely invisible from Tong Le's home. Standing face to face, Hou Yi scrutinized Tong Le, still feeling that she was putting on an act.
Before he could speak, Tong Le began, "I came down to meet you as you requested. President Hou, do you have anything else to say? I am perfectly fine now. Given that you bravely intervened and dealt with Ke Wenjie, facilitating a fair cooperation between our companies, I want to sincerely thank you, President Hou! You’ve worked hard!"
With that, Tong Le performed a deep ninety-degree bow towards Hou Yi. As she straightened up, her eyes sparkled with excitement. She was eager to see the video on Hou Yi's phone again, relishing every moment of Ke Wenjie getting beaten up. She wanted to watch it multiple times and slow it down to savor the experience!
Lost in her thoughts, Tong Le couldn't help but chuckle; she was genuinely delighted.
Hou Yi was taken aback. "What did you just say? I acted bravely? I'm fair? And you're thanking me?"
Tong Le nodded vigorously and gave him a thumbs-up. "You are the most courageous hero I've ever seen in my life! The embodiment of justice! The savior of humanity! A towering figure! A mountain! The hope of mankind!"
As she spoke passionately, even gesturing animatedly, anyone who didn’t know would think she was singing or giving a speech.
Hou Yi was unsure whether Tong Le had truly lost her mind, but he felt like he was going crazy himself. If he was the light of hope for humanity, then Tong Le was the light of foolishness.
Frustrated, he interrupted her, "I don't understand what you're going on about, but why do I feel like you're using me to make Ke Wenjie disappear?"
Suddenly realizing something, Hou Yi's expression shifted to one of amusement. "Ah, I get it now. You’re so eager for your husband to meet his end because you want to end this marriage quickly?"
Tong Le found nothing wrong with his guess. She raised an eyebrow and shrugged casually. "You can think whatever you like, President Hou. Whatever reason you come up with is fine by me; your word is law!"
Hou Yi's interest was piqued again; he had underestimated Tong Le. He glanced towards the window of her home and mused aloud, "You must be a habitual offender, right? Otherwise, why would you be so careful and sensitive about meeting me? Afraid your husband might find out? Discover your dirty little secret?"
The calm expression on Tong Le’s face gradually faded. She had indeed chosen this corner for privacy, but she didn’t understand what Hou Yi meant by “habitual offender.”
She remained silent.
Hou Yi continued to poke at her vulnerabilities. "Looks like I’ve hit a nerve. Do you want me to remind you? Now I understand why you hate your husband so much—because you've found a better target, haven’t you?"
His smile grew more provocative as he looked at Tong Le with disdain and amusement, enjoying the feeling of exposing someone’s weaknesses and controlling their emotions and fate at will.
Tong Le still said nothing, but her stiff expression betrayed her feelings.
Hou Yi deliberately glanced at her stomach and remarked, "You're pregnant, right? Whose child is it? Let me guess—it shouldn’t be Ke Wenjie’s; otherwise, why would you be so eager for him to meet his end? So it must be Zong Zeyu’s, right?"
After saying this, Hou Yi chuckled darkly, confident that he had won this round. If he had known that exposing Tong Le’s affair with Zong Zeyu would make her so uncomfortable, he would have spoken up sooner. He would poke at her pain repeatedly until she begged for mercy.
Tong Le’s gaze hardened as she suddenly spoke up. "Zong Zeyu and I are not in the kind of relationship you think we are! Don’t make wild guesses!"
Hou Yi stepped closer to her and reminded her, "Is that so? But I remember seeing you two laughing together at the noodle shop near your homes—not this face you're showing now. Do you want me to help you out? I can spread the word in your circle that you and Zong Zeyu are lovers."
Tong Le suddenly became serious, her eyes burning with anger. "How dare you! I am innocent with Zong Zeyu! If you have grievances against me, take it out on me! Why harm the innocent?"
Then she realized, "You’ve been following me?"
Hou Yi replied, "Following is not quite the right word. Just don’t think that what you’ve done is unknown; there are eyes everywhere. You and Zong Zeyu’s little secret—do you really think you can hide it from anyone?"
Tong Le was anxious. "I’ll say this one last time: Zong Zeyu has nothing to do with me! Even if you saw us meeting alone somewhere, it was forced by me! I’m the one who has unrequited feelings! Why would Zong Zeyu cheat on me? Think about it with your wooden head! I’m just a married woman, a mere wife; what do I have to offer someone so outstanding? I don’t feel awkward about it, and Zong Zeyu probably finds it disgusting! So stop trying to threaten me with this! Don’t fabricate things out of thin air!"
Tong Le spoke with flushed cheeks, truly ready to go down with Hou Yi. The moment Zong Zeyu was mentioned, she transformed into a fierce warrior; no one could tarnish his reputation or harm him. She might be a worthless life herself, but if Hou Yi hurt Zong Zeyu, she would drag him down with her!
Hou Yi was somewhat surprised. The delicate girl from earlier had turned into a fiery pepper, ready to explode at any moment and splatter him with her fiery wrath. However, he could sense the favoritism in Tong Le's words.
