Hou Yi looked at Zong Zeyu with a hint of amusement. Zong Zeyu knew he shouldn’t engage with Hou Yi; the conversation was clearly laced with provocation and mockery. If he responded, it would undoubtedly lead to insults directed at Tong Le. But damn it, Zong Zeyu was also curious about what offense Hou Yi had committed against Tong Le.
In the silence that followed, Hou Yi spoke up. “Tong Le offered me a billion. Do you think she’s gone mad? So I thought, Zong Zong, you’re so wealthy; a billion shouldn’t be a big deal for you, right? How about this: you pay that billion to have Tong Le divorce Ke Wenjie, and then we can compete fairly for her. What do you say?”
Hou Yi leaned forward on the sofa, a playful yet expectant smile on his lips. His previous statement was no joke; he was serious. He enjoyed playing games, and his recent goal was to pursue Tong Le. He had lost interest in other women; even if they were alluring or exceptional, all he wanted was to focus on Tong Le, who seemed stubbornly unyielding.
He didn’t care to pretend to be someone skilled in social niceties. He had seen Tong Le and Zong Zeyu’s affair and decided to expose everything he knew. Since Zong Zeyu couldn’t come up with a billion, he might as well let him take care of it.
As long as Tong Le regained her freedom, the ensuing game would belong to him, Zong Zeyu, and Tong Le. He loved playing games, especially triangular ones, because in every triangle, there was bound to be one person who lost terribly.
He had never lost in games throughout his life and believed he would win this time too. Of course, there were simpler ways to initiate this triangular game—like making Ke Wenjie disappear permanently, either by hiring someone or tricking him into a faraway land where he would never return. But among these methods, he thought the most suitable one was to make Zong Zeyu pay that billion.
He was very curious about how much Zong Zeyu’s feelings for Tong Le were truly worth.
Hou Yi continued, “Zong Zong, don’t you like Tong Le? Isn’t it convenient? I also have my eye on this foolish woman. But she seems stubbornly determined to handle those idiots on her own. You really think someone as naïve as her can manage that? Why not just help her out with a single gesture?”
The pressure was on Zong Zeyu.
To his surprise, Hou Yi actually liked Tong Le.
Initially, Zong Zeyu had brought Hou Yi into this situation to assert dominance over him on behalf of Si Li. Although he couldn’t beat Hou Yi physically like he did with Sun Hu, he always found ways to deal with shameless people.
Now it seemed he had stumbled into a trap; the Hou Yi he had imagined was completely different from the one before him. Not only had he failed to control the situation, but he had also been led astray by Hou Yi.
Zong Zeyu believed he had met his match and felt intrigued enough to sit directly across from Hou Yi on the sofa.
He spoke up, “You know about my relationship with Tong Le, so you’ve been tracking me for quite some time.”
Hou Yi replied casually, “Tong Le? That’s right; you’re quite clever, Zong Zong. I did some investigation. However, I’m not interested in your ethical dilemmas regarding infidelity. All I need from you is a simple answer: are you willing to pay that billion for Tong Le?”
