When Love Beckons Twice

Her curly hair had turned into a mess with a few strands stuck to her forehead and near her sideburns . Her face and hands were all covered with drops of blood that had splattered while she had stabbed Yang Deming . Her eyes were glistening with a terrifying s.h.i.+ne that made her appearance look even scarier . Her clothes had patches of blood on it and were disheveled with the b.u.t.tons of her s.h.i.+rt half-opened down to her navel exposing her bra, but no one gave a d.a.m.n about it that moment .

"Chen!" Yue Ling exclaimed in surprise when she saw the four people standing with a horrid look on their faces, at the door .

She had just gotten off the corpse of Yang Deming and was b.u.t.toning up her s.h.i.+rt while her eyes were glued on Song Chen . As she did that a few drops of blood, that had settled in her hair like crushed rubies slid down her forehead . She felt the wetness of the liquid traveling to reach above her eyes . Feeling annoyed, she used the sleeve of her s.h.i.+rt to wipe the blood but had without realizing, smeared her face with it in the process, to make her appearance look even more ghastly .
"Chen, what are you doing here?" Yue Ling asked with a panicked voice . The murderous glint that she had in her eyes just a moment before was now gone, turning her into a totally different person .

"What . . . what have you done Ling?" Song Chen asked after he somehow managed to find his voice .

"I . . . this . . . this was not done by me . . . I didn"t do it . . . Believe me, I . . . I didn"t do it!!" Her voice stammered and it seemed like she was trying to convince herself more than others that were present at that moment .

While Yue Ling was making up excuses, Song Jia had gained her senses and c.o.c.ked her head to look at Peng Hai with the corner of her eyes . Making sure no one was watching, she made a quick gesture of a phone call . Peng Hai understood the meaning of her action and slowly stepped aside .

"We saw you doing it!!" Song Jia said pointing her index finger to Yue Ling .

"What else have you been doing behind my back Ling?" Song Chen asked taking a step in the room . Before he could take another, he felt a small hand tugging the sleeve of his coat . He looked down to see it was Song Jia"s hand . He looked at her and she shook her head, telling him silently to not go inside the room as it was now a crime scene .

"No . . . Nothing . . . This man was hara.s.sing me and he had brought me here forcefully . I was kidnapped and wanted to escape . " Yue Ling spun a lie with the speed of lightning in her head .

However, the manager who was standing nearby, immediately busted her lie . "Sorry to intrude Mr . Song, but when this woman checked in here, she didn"t seem like she was kidnapped . "

"Everyone here is lying, I am telling you . " A few drops of tear rolled down from Yue Ling"s eyes .

"Then what about this . . . Lily?" Song Chen had used extra emphasis while calling out her old name . While he asked so, he had s.n.a.t.c.hed the leather folder from Song Jia"s hand and opened the page with pictures of Yue Ling and Yang Deming .

"Yue Ling"s eyes opened wide with shock hearing her old name . It was something she had always hid from him and didn"t want it to come out now . What shocked her more was that she didn"t expect him to come prepared with proof . " I can explain—"

"No need . " A crisp voice came from behind the door, not letting Yue Ling finish . Everyone turned around to see Wu Zhang coming with a few people .

"CEO Wu . "
"Boss . "
"Mr . Wu . "

The manager, Peng Hai, and Song Chen immediately recognized Wu Zhang and greeted him at the same time .
