CHAPTER 820

'My life is yours.'

Those words rang out loudly in Ye Cheng's ears. Even though he had no need of her life, he was glad she said it.

Simply cornering her, he could actually exact his revenge on Chairman Zhang and make her give testimony to take that case to court. And by the time he was through with the court case, Ye Cheng planned on making sure Zhang Corporation took a big hit.

"Please. I promise you. Anything you say. I belong to you."

"Hmm." His scrutinizing gaze left her lips trembling as she hoped her offer would be appeasing enough.

She was not sure she could do anything for him for starters. Servicing him was out of the question too as he had a lovely wife.

What other option did she have? What was her life worth?

With everything he claimed he lost, she only gained the surgery fee from Chairman Zhang for her brother and nothing more.

Yet he gained so much more and she was too poor to go against him.

Just as her brain contemplated her situation, Ye Cheng's chill voice broke out the silence that ensued.

"Fine. I'll take your word." As soon as she heard that, Keerah lifted her head once more, locking eyes with him. 'From now on, know that your life belongs to me. And anything I ask of you, you shall do."

"Yes, b–boss."

"Okay. Your first a.s.signment, be prepared to testify against Chairman Zhang and help me gain all I have lost."

Her eyes widened more than before.

Honestly speaking, what she had not known was that the second Ye Cheng chose to put plans in place, he had a private investigator digging to figure out the truth about everything that happened back then.

And discovered that the doc.u.ments were fake with people hushed about the truth.

When he hit that road block, he had Fong Wei Ling help and use his means to get the answers till it was narrowed down to her.

"What? You want to go back on your words just now?" She shook her head. She didn't dare retract her words, no matter how much she wanted to.

"Good. If you do that and help me take him down, then you no longer owe me your life and in turn, I'll help you find out what exactly happened to cause your brother's accident. It seems too fishy that when you needed help, he was there with such a proposal."

It was at this point Keerah stopped to reconsider his words.

"Y-You said?"

"Don't worry. For now behave normal. I'll reach out to you soon. Be prepared."

With that, he stood up, turned on his heels and exited the VVIP room.

When the door shut gently and the gentle him of his footsteps rescinded, Keerah heaved a deep sigh and collapsed on the floor.

Her heart thudded wildly in her chest. Everywhere felt so tight and suffocating a while back. Plus the fear and frustration.

She couldn't handle it anymore.

"Keerah, what have you gotten yourself into?"

*******

While Ye Cheng went about correcting things and facing his battles, Li Jing wasn't left out of it.

She placed a call to one of the nurses on duty to find out the condition of her foster father so she could visit and figure out the truth.

It was getting tiring and she knew he had a lot to hide as regards the matter.

"Yes. I am his daughter. I would love to check up on him, please," Li Jing explained calmly.

For some seconds she waited, listening to all the lady had to say before nodding as though she could see her.

"I understand what you mean. Very well. When is he going to be discharged?"

"The day after tomorrow. The doctor wants to make sure his health is monitored. He doesn't need so much stress and all your mother and sister have done is cause that since he was brought here."

Typical mother and daughter duo, Li Jing thought.

"Basically that is all there is," the nurse concluded.

"I see." Li Jing was vexed that she linked her to those b.i.t.c.hes but given how she introduced herself, she could not blame the nurse.

"Thank you very much. I'll visit tomorrow. Please do not let anyone know about my call and visit plans."

"As you wish ma'am."

"Sure."

She ended the call, placing her phone on the bed as her eyes narrowed, her gaze staring far into s.p.a.ce.

"Since you think being in the hospital can prevent me from accessing you and knowing the truth, then you can't be more wrong than you are now."

She took her phone again. Opened her text message and began typing.

Since Ye Cheng gave her freedom, she did not want to misuse it either or cause him to worry.

Quickly she informed the men tasked with guarding her about her outing plans tomorrow. Once that was done and acknowledged, Li Jing rose from the bed and ventured into the bathroom.

It was already 8 p.m. and her Ye Cheng was yet to be back.

When she called Han Qian Qian earlier on, the latter informed her Ye Cheng had left for home.

What she did not know was the fact that he got a call on his way and decided to take a detour to Club 69.

She made her way to the sink, put it on and splashed some water on her faces.

For some reason she felt cold and nauseous while her body seemed hot. The unease was getting to her.

All Li Jing could think of currently was the fact that getting closer to the truth, she could feel the anxiety rising.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, her mind replayed flashes of similar images from a long time.

How she grew up, the things she endured, meeting her ex, her heartbreak, saving Ye Cheng, their relations.h.i.+p tidal waves and finally their marriage.

"It's been a long time coming and now, I feel the final puzzle for my true happiness is within reach. Mum, I'll find you and what happened twenty years ago."
