The Devil who devoured Snow White

Tian Ruyi didn't have a choice but to finally confess now that she had blurted out the truth. "We're not dating but we're friends," she quickly said in her defense. "Bai Keran was going to kill me and it was the first thing that entered my mind."

"I hate liars the most, Ms. Tian," Si Guanlin said sternly.

Hypocrite. Xue Lihua rolled her eyes once again.

"B-but I didn't lie about being friends with Mengmeng. I am their friend. If you won't believe me, you can ask them yourself." She pulled out her phone. "I can even call them!" She tapped on her phone's screen but then, she remembered that her battery was dead. "Shit. It's dead."

A small chuckle was heard from the man sitting beside her. "Alright, alright. I believe you. No need to work yourself over it. Besides, even if you weren't their friend, I will still save you from that old man."

Liar. Xue Lihua mouthed as she continued to drive while looking ahead.

"You were?" Even Tian Ruyi was hesitant to believe him.

"Of course. I thought Bai Keran was just kidding around when he told his men to kill you. I mean, who would boldly order others to commit murder while in the presence of his guest? I would have called the police," Si Guanlin continued. He even put on a disappointed face. "I never knew that he was that kind of man."

Xue Lihua shook her head. She had the urge to roll her eyes again as she continued to listen to the lies that the man continued to spout.

Tian Ruyi was staring at him for a second, trying to see whether he was lying or not… but she couldn't. His words felt real, he looked so convincing she wanted to believe. 

"But you threatened him." Despite wanting to trust his words, she couldn't help but be wary. "I never saw Bai Keran so scared."

Most would have already believed what he had told her if they were in her situation but it seemed like Tian Ruyi was still doubting him despite his convincing words. Si Guanlin found her even more interesting. "You see, Bai Keran and I are business partners. If I withdraw my support, his business will crumble. I am one of his benefactors so it's only normal for him to be afraid."

Tian Ruyi pursed her lips as she scrutinized him under her gaze. "I guess that's true… But Bai Keran is a bad person."

"Is he now?"

She nodded before continuing, "We have enough proof against his illegal activities. He'll be done for sure."

"Proof?" Another strange light flickered in his eyes but soon disappeared. "I didn't expect him to be a bad person…"

"Since you are one of his benefactors, shouldn't it be normal for him to hide it from you?" She sighed. "I suggest you cut your ties on him."

"I guess I'll have to do that." He took his phone out of his pocket and began tapping on the screen.

…

Li Bingbing and her husband were on their way to the Bai family mansion to confront Bai Keran. Two black SUVs followed behind, inside were Lu Xian Yu's men.

The SUVs were not to enter the residence since Lu Xian Yu's men were supposed to sneak in and take over Bai Keran's men but upon reaching a kilometer away, they saw police cars with an Ambulance following behind, overtaking them. They saw the vehicles turning and entering the Bai residence shortly.

Lu Xian Yu was forced to order his men to pull nearby and delay the plan. Instead, he ordered one of his men to check on what happened inside.

On the other hand, Li Bingbing took the laptop she brought with her just to check on the surveillance of the mansion.

"Fuck it," she cursed under her breath.

"What is it?" Lu Xian Yu asked in wonder.

"Bai Keran's dead." 

...

Back in Yong Liwei's place…

After having a heated bath with her husband, Lu Mengjie tended to his wounds. After cleaning them and covering them with clean gauze.

"There. All done." She went and placed the first aid kit back in the drawer. "You know, you really should stop straining yourself. Your wounds won't heal like this."

"It can't be helped, my wife is too tempting." He chuckled as he watched her take the hairdryer from the vanity table before going back to him. 

She huffed. "You know what? I think I'll take your suggestion when you told me to tie you up." She plugged the cable on a nearby extension before she began drying his hair. 

"If you'll ride me then getting tied by you is fine."

"..." She blushed lightly as she landed her gaze on his face. Lu Mengjie regretted meeting his eagle-like eyes as she felt his effect on her again.

Yong Liwei didn't say a word as stared back at her beautiful dark eyes. He reached out and held her by her nape, pulling her down into another passionate kiss.

Lu Mengjie wasn't surprised, it was as if she was already expecting the kiss the moment she got drawn into his eyes. She shut her eyes and began kissing him back just as passionately. until… a phone call interrupted their make-out session.

She quickly snapped out from his hypnotic effect on her. She pulled away from him and instead, she glared warningly. "Stop distracting me."

Yong Liwei chuckled. "I'm not distracting you. In fact, the one distracting us right now is…" he paused and turned his gaze to the bathroom. Lu Mengjie's phone was ringing inside.

She gave him the hairdryer. "Here, dry your hair." She turned on her heels and went to take the phone from the bathroom.

Upon looking at the screen, she saw that it was a call from her mother so she quickly answered it. "Hello, mom?"

It was almost time for dinner, meaning, her parents should be on their way to confront Bai Keran already.

"It seems like Bai Keran has been taken care of already. Looks like someone else is one step ahead of us."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Lu Mengjie asked in confusion.
