Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Scheme

Long Jingling received a call late in the night. She frowned and slowly slipped out of Han Zihao's arms. So that he doesn't notice her absence, she placed a pillow in his arms. "Why did you delay to pick up the phone. " The voice on the other end reverberated in the bathroom. 

"I'm sorry Mom. Han Zihao had me occupied. Besides it's late. I should be sleeping right now, don't blame me."she snorted angrily. "Don't you go giving me attitude young girl. Besides those who are always planning something great don't sleep. " Her mom, Mrs. Long growled back.

"How did you deal with that nasty girl?"Mrs Long asked. "Mom, I have already dealt with her. She can't came between me and Ah Zihao." She said with a grin in her voice. "Now, that's my daughter."her mom said proudly. "But mom, I need a favor from you....

A cliff not far from Han Zihao and Long Jingling's residence was crowded with reporters of all stations and the locals.

"I wonder which unfortunate person fell victim to this cliff." One of the locals said with sadness laced to their voice. "There has been a very fatal accident in City G on Street **** where the car fell off the cliff and burst into flames, leaving no survivers." The reporter gave a report as he was live on TV. 

Soon a car came rushing to the cliff and out came, Long Jingling been held by Han Zihao. Ever since the news had been released and she took notice of the car , she had been bawling her eyes out. The locals were shocked to see two powerful figures at such a scene but couldn't register what was happening because Jingling started crying when she saw the car.

"S-senior Zihao. That is not Mei mei's car right." She said stuttering in a pitiful voice that gave everyone the urge to comfort her and sooth her pain."She can't be gone,right? S-she promised me. How could she commit suicide without thinking twice about her best friend? "She cried on in Zihao's embrace with the camera recording everything. "Suicide?!" The people exclaimed. How could the late An Mei commit suicide?! Impossible!! 

Looking at their expressions, she internally smirked."I have you where I want you." She thought sardonically. "Yes, suicide. She had been chasing Ah Zihao for many years and finally their families got them an arranged marriage. But Zihao backed out because he didn't love her. She got very angry when she found out the person he loved was actually me, her best friend.

I tried explaining things to her but she didn't listen and just bolted out of the house. We looked for her for days and now all we can see is her blasted car." She said weakly as tears that looked like tiny pearls rolled down her cheeks. Han Zihao just pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly and said,"I never wanted any of this to happen. I just wanted to live in harmony with my bestie but now I have caused her death."

"Shhh,it's okay. It is not your fault. You didn't kill her okay." Han Zihao whispered and then said,"I'm sorry but she is not quite stable right now."he said as he brought her to their car when suddenly a man from the crowd said,"You expect us to fall for your pity story, clearly you are the cause of her death."

Han Zihao turned with his eyes glimmering with murderous intent. "What did you just say."He asked calmly after he placed Jingling in the car. "You may shut me up but you will not shut the media from knowing about the affair you two shared and still share."You two dare to show off your love to the entire nation even when you know you were both cheating the late. Clearly you two pushed the late into what we are seeing right now."
