Chereads / Lazily Among The Elites / Chapter 13 - Betrayal

Chapter 13 - Betrayal

The next morning, news of Diana's death shook the country. Diana was just fine yesterday, she attended a charity event, so how did she die in her hotel room just last night? The cause of her death was unknown as an investigation was being carried out.

Her family, friends, and fans were devastated and so was her fiance who almost went crazy. He wouldn't even allow her body to be buried because he refused to believe she was dead. He was with her last night and they had fun until late at night when he received an urgent call from the company and had to leave. So how did she die all of a sudden?.

At L &Y corporation, Su Tang barged into the CEO's office to see Movy with Lu Feng. No one in the whole company dared to stop her from entering, if anything, they allowed her an easy entry because the first time a staff gave her a hard time, the staff worked for two years without pay, not even a bonus.

Su Tang strolled over to Movy and before he could bow his head in greeting, she gave him a resounding slap on his cheek.

Movy saw the slap coming but didn't avoid it, after all, he wouldn't be the top assassin in the country if he didn't see a powerless woman's slap coming.

"Hm, for accepting her anger head-on, your three days' leave is approved" Lu Feng announced.

"Thank you, boss," Movy said and stepped out of the office.

Lu Feng turned his rolling chair over to face Su Tang who was raving mad and said "It's been two years since you last came to my company. I think I should kill more people whenever I want you here."

Sun Tang took in a deep breath and asked. "Did you have to kill her? What wrong did she do to you?"

"Yue'er do you know how many times I have proposed to you and you rejected me? This is the fifteenth time and the last time I would have finally got your approval, but she ruined it." He said.

"Do you always have to be so bloodthirsty? you shouldn't have touched her. Killing her was your greatest mistake," She said.

"No, it isn't. Going away for so long was my greatest mistake." He stood up from

the chair and walked up to her. "If I hadn't gone for so long, my Yue'er wouldn't have changed. My Yue'er wouldn't have fallen for someone else"

His face showed regret for a few seconds before returning to being expressionless.

"And you killed him" Her lips trembled.

"He stole you from me Yue'er. You were my innocent little sister who used to run around me and call me big brother. You used to laugh so much with me. And when Ruolan was born, our relationship became stronger. Yue'er, do you remember" he touched her face, then trailed his finger down her nude lips.

"Before I left seven years ago, I kissed those lips? You smiled at me and hugged me. You told me to come back soon and that you would be waiting for me" he took his hand off her face as his countenance was cold.

"Only for me to return and meet you in another man's arms. Yue'er, I should have killed you for the betrayal, but I couldn't, because my feelings for you never changed and if anything, they increased. So whoever I killed or will kill in the future is all because of you.

"You have gone insane Lu Feng!. You have gone mad and need to be treated. At that time I didn't say anything after you kissed me because I was surprised. I hugged you to bid you farewell. I told you to come back early because that was what a little sister would tell their brother. I saw you as my older brother Lu Feng, how could I have seen you as something different?"

At her words, the atmosphere in the room became freezingly cold and Su Tang shivered.

"Yue'er, I will come to see you at home. Leave for now" he said gently but the danger in his tune could not be concealed.

Movi opened the office door at that moment and called "Eldest Miss Feng, please" he gestures for her to leave.

He had been with Lu Feng for a long long time. He knew when Lu Feng was taken in by Mr. Feng and his wife when they met them begging on the streets.

He was a witness to how the two "siblings" treated themselves with love and care. He knew when his young master started falling for the oblivious Yue Feng and when the love developed into something dangerous.

He understood his master very well. He tried so hard to curb the feelings and only see her as a little sister but every time he tried, he ended up in the hospital.

Five years after Yue Feng's parents died, the people who destroyed his young master's family came looking for them. Lu Feng had to run away to protect Yue Feng and Yan Feng.

When he came back after seven years, he had a hard time finding them because they had both changed names and appearances.

He searched the whole of China without success until one day when he saw the two girls on the TV taking an interview.

Although everything about them changed, because he had lived with them for almost ten years, he was able to see the small gestures peculiar to Yue Feng alone and Yan Feng's lazy attitude never changed as she always likes to sleep on her sister since she was young.

On that day, Yan Feng did it again, she yawned and rested her head on her sister, and slept off. Nobody found it rude, but only praised the love between the sisters. When he went to find them in their house with happiness radiating from him, he found a guy hugging and kissing her in the garage.

The real reason he killed the boy was that he was cheating on Yue Feng. The boy didn't love her but was only with her for her money.

Lu Feng chose to bear her hatred rather than let her experience heartbreak, so he killed her boyfriend whom she loved.

As for Diana Wang, her motive for helping Yue Feng out of the situation at the auction house was planned with her fiance. They wanted to make use of her and that was something Lu Feng would never accept.

Movi sighed and closed the door after she left. "Boss, about Diana's fiance, he plans on approaching Eldest Miss Feng after the burial."

"Let him. He will be doomed when he does" the corner of his lips curled.

Yue'er, hate me all you want, I don't mind. Your father's last wish, protecting you and fulfilling your father's last wish is something you cannot stop me from doing.

.....

After Diana Wang's burial which a lot of people attended, Chen Qin visited Su Tang at the office. Su Tang allowed it because she felt guilty towards his fiance who died wrongly.

"CEO Tang, I am sorry for coming to see you like this after my fiance just died. I feel heartbroken and so do a lot of people and her family. I am here today because it was what she told me last night. I want to send her off with her last wish being fulfilled.

Diana wanted to be the face of your company's new perfume, but now that she is no longer alive to achieve that dream, I want her little sister to take her place" he said.

Su Tang, whose back rested on the back of the chair with one leg over the other and a hand under her chin, looked at the man in front of her from a different light. He didn't seem to be that good to the eye anymore, but because Diana helped her two days ago, she decided to pay back the favor. She hated owning people the most.

"Let her go for the audition. If she is successful, she can become the face of my new perfume, but if she isn't, I will recommend her for something else."

She is a businesswoman after all. She didn't become the top business woman by being a sympathetic person. No one has ever had the boldness to ask her for a free spot before.

"CEO Tang, Diana's sister Roseline is just a newbie, she just got into showbiz. If she goes for an audition she would lose without even trying. Please help her win the endorsement."

"On what basis are you requesting this of me? CEO Chen, do I owe you anything?" She asked with a brow raised.

"You don't owe me anything CEO Tang, but I heard that CEO Lu's right-hand man was seen at the same hotel two days ago. If someone tells that to the reporters, rumors might start flying and you won't be excluded" he threatened.

Su Tang chuckled. "Interesting. Go do what you please. Leave my office and a note of warning. Do not mess with whom you shouldn't mess with."

After saying that, CEO Chen left the Tang cooperation to execute plan B. He knew Su Tang was a dangerous and stubborn person that was why he had up to five plans. If nothing works, he could just claim she killed Diana Wang because she loved him. Celebrity fans are brainless so they would believe anything he says now that he was the only person whom they could rely on to tell them how Diana died.

Not knowing he just messed with the two people he shouldn't have messed with in his entire life.

Before he got to his company, the different news channels had published rotten news about him. To make it worse, all the news was true.

"Breaking news!!! CEO Chen was cheating on goddess Diana Wang with her little sister Roseline Wang".

"Newsflash!!!. CEO Chen killed Diana Wang because she didn't want to make use of CEO Tang".

"OMG!! CEO Chen won the bid with Diana's own money. He never liked her!"

"CEO Chen had always abused Diana Wang. See pictures below."

A lot of his dirty secrets were released to the public in just one day. He couldn't defend anyone because all of the news was true.

The night Diana died, he had abused her physically before he raped her. Diana had been on drugs for years because of him. She cannot sleep unless she takes sleeping pills.

When an autopsy was carried out on her, they didn't find anything but bruises and the sleeping pills she took before she died. So everything pointed to how CEO Chen treated her.

His company crumbled that day and was arrested. Roseline's showbiz career was ruined and her family disowned her for treating her sister so badly.

"Ma'am I didn't send all the secrets to the media." Assistant Fei said.

"Hm. He must have had other enemies that took advantage of the situation."

"Yes ma'am. He offended a lot of people in the past."

"How far have you gone on the Mine project?" she asked.

"It's almost done. I should be sending over the document by tomorrow." Assistant Fei said.

"Ok. Push all my schedule to evening, no one should disturb me."

"Yes ma'am"

"You may leave."

After assistant Fei left, Su Tang got up to sit on the long sofa. She brought out her phone and went to the gallery. She scrolled up and down the pictures of Ruolan, stopping on a few and talking to the pictures.

"Yan'er, I hope you are coping well? Just bear with it for a few more years. Sister will come to get you if I can do the things on my own. I love you so much."

After scrolling over the pictures for a while, she fell asleep on the sofa.

Lu Feng opened the office door minutes later to see her sleeping on the couch. He walked over and took her into his arms and carried her to the office room.

He placed her on the bed gently and removed her heels. Then he covered her with a blanket and was about to leave but paused. He looked at her tired face and asked.

"Yue'er, what are you working so hard for? What Happened over the years to make you hide so well with Yan'er? What are you hiding from?"

He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips before he turned and walked out.
