Chapter 262 - Lucky (2/2)

”What's wrong? You seem so uneasy, Lei Zhao,” Yan Mei reacted, Lei Zhao, sighing as he could no longer keep secrets from Yan Mei.

”Yan Mei,” Lei Zhao called out her name and every time he said her name, she knew he was serious. ”I'm sorry.”

Yan Mei raised a brow at him, ”For what?”

”I kept something from you,” Lei Zhao straightforwardly said, Yan Mei's face turning serious. ”The reason why I was busy last night until earlier was because I had to deal with somethings—including me talking to your ex-husband, Wang Lu.”

Hearing this, the joy in Yan Mei's eyes disappeared in an instant. Her lips turned into a tight line as her eyebrows twitched, not expecting what Lei Zhao had told her.

”Wait you… met with Wang Lu?”

”Yes.”

Yan Mei scoffed, ”For what? Even during our honeymoon?”

”I'm sorry.”

Yan Mei scoffed once more as she rolled her eyes at him. Suddenly, she lost the appetite to eat. She lost the excitement she felt when she saw Lei Zhao. She found it impossible for her to hear those words from him—why did he have the guts to talk to Wang Lu?

Didn't they hate each other?

”You have to tell me,” Yan Mei said, her eyes narrowing as Lei Zhao felt coldness etched in her voice. ”Everything.”

Lei Zhao gulped. He nodded as he heaved a small sigh, telling Yan Mei everything that he had been doing since yesterday until the talk he had with Wang Lu.

”I asked him about what happened to you years ago.”

Hearing the first statement had instantly made Yan Mei's body stiffen in surprise. Her trauma is something sensitive to her and with Lei Zhao knowing about it, she instantly felt uneasy.

Seeing the discomfort on her face, Lei Zhao's eyebrows furrowed in worry, feeling guilty of not being honest with her, but he has to be honest with her now.

”I'm sorry, Yan Mei,” Lei Zhao apologized, ”I had to seek for some clues about what happened to you and with the issue that is happening to us now, it could be connected to it. What Wang Lu knows may be of help—I had to do something about it, too, not only rely on the other people helping us.”

Yan Mei shook her head. She heaved a sigh as she started relaxing, knowing the reason why Lei Zhao had talked to Wang Lu. However, even though Lei Zhao was being honest with her now, Yan Mei could not help but feel uneasy still since the topic about her kidnap is sour.

”Because of the talk I had with Wang Lu, we had gotten some clues about what was happening.”

”What?”

The topic at hand now got Yan Mei's complete attention. Both of them stared at each other seriously as Lei Zhao continued telling her what he had found out from the talk he had with her ex-husband.

”The issues now may have something to do with the man who kidnapped you. Gu Zhi.”

The moment Yan Mei heard this, she sighed as she shook her head, remembering what happened years ago that still sent shivers down her spine.

”I don't even know why the man hates me. I am no longer with Wang Lu so why shouldn't he leave me alone?”

Lei Zhao shook his head. He sighed once more as he spoke, the atmosphere between them becoming serious.

”Gu Zhi's target was never Wang Lu, but you all along.”

Yan Mei's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, ”What?”

Lei Zhao then told everything that he knew to Yan Mei. He told her about the talk he had with Wang Lu, and he had talked to her about the other clues and information that they had—including the involvement of Gu Zhi's sister, Gu Ren.

With everything connecting like a puzzle giving a clear picture, Yan Mei was obviously at a loss for words. She gritted her teeth as her hands on the table turned into a tight fists, her blood boiling in anger as she now found her suffering unreasonable.

”So I was tortured… just because of his sister who's so obsessed!?”

Yan Mei roared out in anger. She has always thought that the man was a rival of Wang Lu and he wanted to get back at him. But because of such a stupid reason like this he tortured her day and night and even drugged her multiple times untill he finally broke her?
