Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Cai Songyin had always been proud of the sound quality of the top-grade stereo surround sound system imported from Germany. However, today was the first time she hated how the sound quality was too realistic. If this was an impersonation, then their skills were far too impressive… Tan Dongbang’s voice was so familiar to her and had spoken in her ears for so many years that she could hardly tell the difference from this impersonation! All their beautiful, youthful memories, their romantic and loving past all suddenly collapsed under the blow of the two people’s explicit pillow talk emanating from the stereo. Cai Songyin stood expressionless in the middle of the room and slowly raised her increasingly shaky hands to cover her ears as she screamed madly, “Ah–!”

It’s fake! It’s fake! This isn’t real! Cai Songyin wanted her screams to overpower the disgusting sounds from the stereo, but she discovered that no matter how loudly she screamed, those intimate conversations found a crack to delve into her ears, brain, and heart. Unable to stand the toture, Cai Songyin finally burst into tears and cradled her head in her hands as she sat on the floor. The floor was covered with a fine-quality handwoven wool rug imported from the Middle East. She opened her eyes to look at the vine pattern on the rug while she screamed and cried her heart out. The bedroom had excellent sound insulation, so no one outside would hear her, even if she screamed until she lost her voice. She took this opportunity to vent without any self restraint. After crying, Cai Sonyin supported herself on the ground to slowly climb up. Grabbing the remote on the vanity, her face was ashen. At this moment, the voices in the stereo had already changed like a movie montage changing locations.

She heard someone saying urgently, “…Where’s the Prime Minister? He needs to sign this doc.u.ment right away!”

“Just wait, the Prime Minister… is in a meeting.” The person speaking was totally serious and was none other than Tan Dongbang’s chief secretary. His tone and inflection proved that he was totally aware of what Tan Dongbang and Gu Yanran were doing. Cai Songyin completely froze. The chief secretary’s words clearly proved that these shameless adulterers were actually having a tryst in the Office of the Prime Minister!

She couldn’t take it anymore and raised her arms to viciously throw the remote towards the wall-mounted speakers. There was a loud bang, and the top-quality speakers fizzled a few times before retreating into silence. Cai Songyin panted as she stood in the bedroom for a long time before she expressionlessly dressed herself and looked in the mirror to put on a coral-colored lipstick. This color would brighten her skin tone. Her face was currently dark and oppressive, so she couldn’t go out in public without some brightening.

Taking out her phone, she opened the control system for the speakers and logged in to find the file containing the sounds so she could download it onto her phone. To her surprise, the file was actually a video file with sound. If she played it on her phone, she could not only hear the voices but also see the footage! On the phone, she saw the two people on the bed twisted in all sorts of positions, and the last shred of hope in her heart died. The voice wasn’t an impersonation, nor was this a trap. It was actually her beloved husband. They had been friends for decades, yet his image totally collapsed in front of her. She knew she was done for, and her life was unsalvageable now. Their many years of love didn’t overcome this man’s political ambitions. There was no way she could ever support Tan Dongbang ever again.

A shrewd person like Tan Dongbang would only see Cai Songyin as his burden that would drag him down in the future. No wonder he couldn’t wait to get involved with Gu Yanran. She was the wealthiest person in Barbados and had a fortune that rivaled a nation’s. She was also young, beautiful, and was in her prime. There was no single thing in which Cai Songyin could win against her. She was nearly 50 and at her age, losing her marriage and husband meant losing everything. But if these two people thought Cai Songyin would obediently retreat from the stage, then they were seriously mistaken. Tan Dongbang wanted to get rid of her? Gu Yanran wanted to use her to get ahead? Dream on…

Cai Songyin expressionlessly began using the professional video editing software on her phone to begin editing the video. She had originally worked in media, so making video edits like this was a piece of cake. First, she blurred out the background and Tan Dongbang’s body and face to only reveal the general image of the bed. Then she also processed his voice until it couldn’t be recognized. As for Gu Yanran, Cai Songyin enhanced clarity and contrast tools to even preserve the high resolution so that her body was explicitly exposed on the screen. Even the obvious birthmark on her right breast could be clearly seen. Finally, Cai Sonyin selected the most shocking part of the footage to save into two files. One was a two-minute short film, while the other was a 30-second spotlight feature on Gu Yanran. She uploaded the original video file to her cloud drive and protected it with a pa.s.sword before deleting the backup on her phone. She then used her phone’s video player to watch the two-minute short film several times to ensure that it didn’t reveal even a sliver of Tan Dongbang in it. She finally smirked. Taking several deep breaths, Cai Songyin walked out solemnly.

She came down the winding staircase, and when she was halfway down, she saw that the projector was in use downstairs. On the white projection screen that was as tall as a wall was the pink diamond crown Gu Yanran had gifted to Tan Guiren. Afterwards, she overheard Gu Nianzhi accuse Gu Yanran of stealing her possession to curry favor with someone else and even say she would make sure to take every single thing back…

Because of her daughter, Tan Guiren, Cai Songyin had always disliked Gu Nianzhi. But somehow she felt strangely elated to hear Gu Nianzhi berate Gu Yanran. Just as their ancestors said, the enemy’s enemy was a friend. Cai Songyin snickered as she took out her phone to connect to the projector’s control app and discreetly send the two-minute short film she had just edited onto the video player for the projector. Because all the electronics in the Prime Minister’s official residence were controlled by a smart system, all the other places aside from the bedroom could be controlled by a phone instead of remotes. She only needed to download a central control app, and Cai Sonyin happened to use this app to upload the two-minute short film. Afterwards, Cai Sonyin logged into her own secondary Weibo account to upload the 30-second spotlight feature on Gu Yaran…
