Chapter 259 Revenge
Chapter 259 Revenge
However, Zhang Duoer had just pressed the dial button, but before the other party answered, she heard a piercing busy tone. Apparently, the other party had blacklisted her.
Realizing this, Zhang Duoer's face instantly turned as pale as frost, and she angrily threw her phone to the ground again.
This time, the phone seemed unable to withstand the anger. The screen shattered into pieces the moment it hit the ground, and the fragments flew everywhere, just like her shattered mood at the moment.
Why did all this careful planning fail at the last moment? Zhang Duoer was filled with resentment and anger. She stared at the broken phone on the ground with a stubborn look in her eyes.
No, she couldn't let this matter go so easily! Zhang Duoer grabbed the car keys, angrily went out, and went straight to the mobile phone store to buy a brand new phone.
I had just inserted the card into the new phone and before I had time to feel the smoothness of the new phone, a strange call broke the tranquility.
Zhang Duoer's heart tightened, a sense of foreboding hanging over her like a dark cloud. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and then answered the phone: "Hello?"
"Is this Miss Zhang Duoer?" A deep and magnetic male voice came from the other end of the phone.
Zhang Duoer's heart sank suddenly, and the ominous premonition became stronger: "It's me, who are you?" There was a hint of vigilance and impatience in her voice.
"I'm the secretary of Mr. Lin of the Lin Group. My last name is Zhao." The other party's voice was calm and powerful, as if he could see into people's hearts.
Hearing the name of the Lin Group, Zhang Duoer's face instantly turned pale. She seemed to see the cold and ruthless man outside Ye Wanqing's villa, like an emissary from hell. A chill rose from the soles of her feet and instantly swept through her body.
"I don't know what you are talking about. We have nothing to talk about!" Zhang Duoer hung up the phone and ruthlessly added Lin Xuan's secretary's number to the blacklist.
She had originally planned to look for the families of those who had been exploited, but this phone call made her change her mind. Zhang Duoer drove back to the apartment and just as she parked the car, her phone rang again.
I glanced at the caller ID and saw it was another unfamiliar number.
She hung up the phone guiltily, but the other party didn't seem to give up and called several times in a row. Zhang Duoer reluctantly blocked these numbers one by one, but new numbers kept popping up like mushrooms after rain.
After hanging up and blocking the call countless times, Zhang Duoer finally answered the call helplessly:
"Enough! If you call me again, I will call the police and report you to harassment! I said, there is nothing to say between us!" There was a hint of hysterical anger in her voice.
"Ms. Zhang, you may have misunderstood." This time, the voice on the other end of the phone was gentle and sweet, with a hint of familiarity.
Zhang Duoer was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully. The voice sounded familiar. She pondered for a moment and finally remembered the owner of the voice: "Xu Xinyi?"
"It's me, Miss Zhang." There was a hint of apology and tact in Xu Xinyi's voice.
Hearing Xu Xinyi's voice, Zhang Duoer's anger subsided a little:
"Didn't Ms. Xu say that there is no possibility of cooperation between us? Then what do you mean by calling me now?" There was a hint of doubt and vigilance in her tone.
Xu Xinyi was clearly prepared: "Ms. Zhang, the situation is different now. You were so angry just now. Did you also receive a warning call from Lin Xuan's secretary?"
Zhang Duoer's expression turned even uglier after hearing what Xu Xinyi said: "You mean, you also received a warning call?"
Xu Xinyi neither admitted nor denied: "Ms. Zhang, I have been thinking over and over again about what you said that day, and I think what you said makes sense. Since we both have a common enemy, Ye Wanqing, why not join forces?"
Zhang Duoer sneered. She was not stupid. Xu Xinyi refused to cooperate last time, but now she took the initiative to contact her. It was obvious that she wanted to use her.
But she didn't expose it directly: "Ms. Xu, you don't want to join forces with me, do you? You just want to use me, right?"
Xu Xinyi didn't deny it: "I admit that I did want to use you. But so what? We both have a common enemy, and we both want to make Ye Wanqing's life miserable. We have the same goal, and I asked you to help me do something. How can that be considered exploitation? It's more like we each get what we need."
Zhang Duoer narrowed her eyes slightly and looked Xu Xinyi up and down. "In Beijing, my connections are indeed not as good as yours, Miss Xu. But Miss Xu, you contacted me so suddenly. There must be a reason, right? What exactly do you want me to do for you?"
She wanted to see if Xu Xinyi really thought of her as a fool who could be manipulated at will.
Xu Xinyi chuckled, as if she had seen through Zhang Duoer's thoughts. "My brother has been keeping a close eye on me lately, so some things are inconvenient for me to do personally. But you're different, Miss Zhang. Aren't you planning to find someone to hype up Ye Wanqing's exorbitant demands for compensation? I can help you provide some clues and evidence."
"So, what specific actions do you expect me to take to achieve your goal?" There was a subtle hint of vigilance in Zhang Duoer's voice. She knew very well that there must be some unknown calculations behind Xu Xinyi's proposal.
"I have a crucial recording here. It contains Ye Wanqing's true feelings. She admitted that she has no deep feelings for Lin Xuan and only sees him as a substitute."
Xu Xinyi's words revealed a hint of pride, as if she had already foreseen the uproar after the recording was made public.
"What I need you to do is to carefully package this recording and then release it to every corner of the internet, making it the focus of everyone's attention. Ideally, it would reach the top of the trending searches overnight."
Zhang Duoer sneered when she heard this. "Ms. Xu, you seem to be overthinking things. In this age of information explosion, wanting a topic to stand out without massive financial support and clever operational strategies is simply a pipe dream."
Xu Xinyi seemed to have anticipated Zhang Duoer's reaction. She said casually, "Ms. Zhang, I believe you have your own way to solve the funding problem. After all, after so many years in the business world, the resources you have are not to be underestimated."
At this moment, Zhang Duoer had completely understood Xu Xinyi's wishful thinking. She responded coldly, "Ms. Xu, since you have clearly rejected me before, please continue to be arrogant. I, Zhang Duoer, do not want to be a pawn in your hands, at your mercy."
After saying that, Zhang Duoer hung up the phone without hesitation, leaving Xu Xinyi on the other end of the phone with her face ashen with anger, her hands clenched into fists, her nails almost embedded in her palms.
Ye Wanqing, on the other hand, was completely unaware of the conspiracy behind all this.
After learning from Li Meng that Zhang Duoer was behind the incident, she decided to take action. She called Zhang Duoer's half-sister Zhang Jing, hoping to use the Xu family's power to calm the situation.
Zhang Duoer is the product of a romantic affair that Zhang's father had outside.
That year, Zhang's mother brought Zhang Duoer to the Zhang family and made a big fuss. In the end, she left with a large sum of compensation, leaving Zhang Duoer alone and helpless in the Zhang family.
Although Zhang Duo'er was still young, she was very observant and quickly won the favor of the Zhang family's old man and old lady. She had lived in the Zhang family for less than three years and had almost completely erased the stigma of her illegitimate daughter.
However, the good times did not last long. A month after Su Junyan's accident, Zhang Duoer's true identity was exposed because she provoked the relationship between Zhang Jing and her grandparents, and she was eventually sent abroad.
These were the truths Ye Wanqing learned last month after sending someone to conduct an in-depth investigation. Knowing Zhang Jing was a decisive and resolute woman, she briefly described Zhang Duoer's actions to her over the phone, hoping to gain the Zhang family's support.
After hearing this, Zhang Jing immediately assured Ye Wanqing on the phone: "Ms. Ye, don't worry, I will stop Zhang Duoer from causing you any more trouble. At the same time, please don't blame her behavior on the entire Zhang family."
Ye Wanqing didn't express her opinion immediately after hearing this. She knew very well that Zhang Duo'er's surname was Zhang after all, and if the Zhang family couldn't properly discipline her, she wouldn't sit idly by once Lin Xuan investigated.
"Miss Zhang, I appreciate your kindness. But Zhang Duo'er's behavior has indeed caused me a lot of trouble." Ye Wanqing's words were filled with a hint of helplessness and determination. "However, I still want to thank you for your understanding and support."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Wanqing heard the familiar sound of a car engine outside. She stood up and walked to the balcony, watching the Rolls-Royce slowly drive into the villa's courtyard. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she turned to the small bar in the kitchen to make a cup of fragrant mocha coffee.
When Lin Xuan walked into the living room, Ye Wanqing handed the coffee to him. The two smiled at each other, as if everything was self-explanatory.
"Why did you come back so early today?" Ye Wanqing asked softly.
Lin Xuan took the coffee, took a sip, and then said, "The matter has been almost handled. Secretary Zhao has brought me the detailed investigation results on that matter."
