Chapter 975 - Concert Break
Chapter 975 Concert Break
It was said that today was the day of Xia Ling’s concert. The place was full of liveliness.
Even that unfilial son Li Rui is there. That child, has he already forgotten who is his real mother? “Betrayer!” Su Tang squeezed the goblet tightly and said evilly while looking at the red liquid in the cup.
It was then that the phone rang.
She picked up, and it turned out to be a reporter. “Miss Su, what are your thoughts on Ye Xingling bringing the children to the concert? There are many rumors about how the children like Ye Xingling more, and that they don’t like you. What do you think?”
She was full of anger and indignance, but she cared for her image and could not afford to explode. Hence, she said stiffly, “No comment.”
She hung up the call, yet her heart could not calm down for a long while. Why was there such a rumor in the world? She admitted that she did hate Li Rui, but she had always been putting on a fake front in the face of others. It must be Ye Xingling that wretch. She must have said some malicious slander on her. That must have been the reason behind the blind jeers of people, thinking that Li Rui did not like his mother!
It must be!
Su Tang’s expression turned gloomy. The phone rang again, this time it was to interview her about Li Rui. This time, she replied stiffly with the sentence, “No comment.” Then, she hung up. However, the phone rang even more frequently. Su Tang could not be bothered to answer it, so she directly powered it off.
IIIN
Even though the phone was shut off, her hatred was still not resolved
Ye Xingling this wretch, how dare she initiate a discussion that would stab her in the back!
Her expression turned increasingly gloomy until finally, she slammed the goblet of red wine onto the table and retrieved another phone from the secret drawer in the bedroom. She dialed a number. This phone had been dealt with especially, and nobody would be able to trace the phone call. Hence, it was entirely safe.
She said, “Listen, the plan has been pushed forward. It will be executed tonight.”
“Pushed forward?” The person on the other end was shocked. “Didn’t you say to carry it out three days later? Tonight is Ye Xingling’s concert, there will be lots of reporters and fans. The target is too famous. It won’t be easy to carry out the plan.”
“You will push forward the plan if I say so!” Su Tang’s voice carried anger. “Carry it out while it’s messy! She has a lot of fans, doesn’t she? After you have killed her, just push the blame onto the fans, call it ‘A Crazy Fan Kills For Love’, or ‘Blessing of the Chanting Leads To Revenge’. There are plenty of excuses! You can escape easily too!”
The party at the other end thought about it and found it reasonable. “Okay, I will take action tonight. However, I will have to take more risks since the plan has suddenly changed. Remember to send more money, I want it doubled!”
“Doubled? You’re crazy!” Su Tang scolded.
“You’re refusing to pay me?” The person on the other end laughed savagely. “Fine, then I won’t be doing this business! I’ll even spread the news of someone wanting to kill Ye Xingling secretly to Master Li. Do you want to guess how much money Master Li would offer
me?”
Su Tang’s expression turned agitated. “Dream on! Li Lei will definitely kill you!”
“I’m not just scaring you!” The person said even more fiercely. “You can try not giving me double the money! At most, we’ll just perish together!”
Su Tang took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm. She must stay calm…
What was the use of talking logic to this desperate person? Ever since she had been chased out of the Li family by Xia Ling, she had been looking for a hitman to murder Ye Xingling secretly. She had calculated it carefully in advance. Given Ye Xingling and Li Lei’s degree of love, normal negative news or rumors would not be useful at all. The only once-and-for-all method was to secretly kill one of them! She had finally found a suitable hitman and did not want anything to happen at a critical moment.
“Fine, double it is.” She conceded.
Even though the original price was already enough to make her live frugally, and doubled the price was sending her near bankruptcy, but as long as she could get rid of Xia Ling and become the wife of the Li family, how much of the money wouldn’t be returned to her?
This business transaction was worth it!
Su Tang reassured herself.
The hitman laughed, pleased. “You finally know the importance of time. Wire me the money now.”
Su Tang gathered the money in all kinds of ways and was finally able to gather the money with much difficulty. She wired over the money to the hitman with instructions from him.
After that, her whole body was weak, and she knelt down to pray to God. (God, other demigods, or even the devil, please help me make sure this murder plot is successful. Once Xia Ling is gotten rid of, there won’t be any future trouble…]
Xia Ling was unaware of her actions. She was still singing <Chanting> under the starry stage. The concert was going smoothly. Besides the new song, she also sang many of her songs since her debut. Even the songs she had sung in her past life at Imperial Entertainment, she also performed them in the form of a “cover”.
The whole place’s atmosphere was off the roof. Especially when Xiao Hui and Li Rui walked amongst the crowd wearing sparkling stage costumes, the heated applause that sounded was about to overturn the sky.
The two children giggled happily.
Li Rui was especially happy. It was his first time standing on such a big stage and receiving applause from so many people. His heart held even more gratitude and admiration towards Xia Ling. Aunt Ling was completely different from Mother. When he had been with Mother, the things he encountered every day would be depressing. However, now that he was with Aunt Ling, he seemed to be happy every day… The little child raised his head and stared at the back of Xia Ling who was on stage. He suddenly thought of something. If only Aunt Ling was his real mother, how happy he would be.
The concert’s official song ended and Xia Ling held an encore for numerous times before she finally left the stage under the lingering gaze of the fans. She went back to remove her makeup and take some rest.
The dressing room was full of fresh flowers that the fans had sent.
Lin Yunan played with the flowers while saying to her and the children, “So many fans have appeared at the concert. You all have to be careful when going to the garage in case anyone ambushes you and asks for a signature or do something excessive.”
Xia Ling took out her earpiece and casually said, “I know.”
After she had removed her makeup and changed into her usual attire, she turned back to caution Xiao Hui and Li Rui again. “Later on you two have to open your eyes wide and be on all four ears, understand? Don’t be kidnapped by strange people.”
“Yes!” The two children nodded fiercely. However, they were hiding the excitement in their hearts. Wow, it was so exciting!
After changing her clothes, Xia Ling brought them down to the garage.
The garage was silent, and most of the people had been brought out by the guards. However, some skillful paparazzi or fans had still managed to infiltrate the area. Thus, Xia Ling did not let down her guard.
The bodyguard walked a few steps behind her.
Lin Yunan walked in front of her and helped her open the car door.
When she was holding the two children’s hands and standing at the road, a blinding flash of light beamed at the corner of her eyes all of a sudden. She turned around instinctively. A large lorry was charing at her and the children with a roar!
“Mother!”
“Aunt Ling!”
A few different voices exclaimed in shock.
