Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

The reporters were forced to leave from Sky with them naturally feeling resentful over this hostile exit. But before Jun, nobody could utter a word of complaint.

Jun stared ahead at the empty space, his fingers clenching into a fist. Today was supposed to be a celebration day. Three years of Sky was supposed to be a happy moment, but everything was ruined. The special day turned into chaos.

The family on the other side was consoling Yunru and Sun Bai. But inside Jun's heart, there was anything but consolation.

I will never forgive this...

It was as clear as day that targeting Yunru and Sun Bai meant targeting Sky. It was similar to what had happened in the past after Shui's 25th birthday with the difference being that Sky's reputation was attacked through them and not Jun himself this time.

And to get all his answers, there was only one person to confront.

With a raging fire burning in his heart, he walked towards 'Guiying', his dark brown irises filled with hatred.

But suddenly Zixin stepped in between, gauging Jun's fury and said, "I don't know why you are looking like that towards Guiying, but be respectful towards her," he narrowed his eyes. "There are some misunderstandings between us but she has nothing to do with this."

"I respect you a lot, Bro Zixin. But I will be the one to decide that. Cai Guiying might not be behind this but somebody in her circle is. Somebody who has been playing with our MrPerfect identities and now attacking Sky. This is beyond my tolerance now," Jun shot back in an equally cold tone.

The past life magnified his resentment even more.

"I won't let them succeed in destroying Sky and me. Not again."

Ai quickly excused herself from Xing Bi's side and hurried towards Jun. She held his hand and calmly said, "Jun, I understand your anger. For Yunru, Miss. Sun and Sky, I am equally furious as well. But Guiying..."

"I know, Ai," he took a deep breath and said, "Cai Guiying has given us a chance to talk. I won't do anything to jeopardize her cooperation, but I also need answers."

Ai nodded.

Jun walked past him and stood before 'Guiying.' "Let's talk." f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

'Guiying' cocked her brow. "Oh the time has finally come for you to explain yourself. But why do I feel it's about something else, specifically about what transpired today?"

Jun gave a cold smile. "You will be amazed to know how interconnected everything is."

'Guiying' narrowed her eyes. "Don't forget my warning, Liu Jun. Try to fool me and I will be out."

From afar, Jin saw the group leave and followed them. Since Cai Guiying was connected so deeply to Shui in the past life to use her against Jun, he knew he would learn something about the past.

Shui furrowed her brows in doubt.

Where is everybody heading to?

--

'Guiying' folded her arms as she stood inside Jun's office and said, "Talk."

It was an eerie silence filled with trepidation for the upcoming confrontation. The tension in the air could be felt from far away.

Jun started with a question instead. "Who else knows about MrPerfect?"

"Excuse me?"

"Who have you told about MrPerfect?" Jun sharply asked. "Who knows that you used to talk to MrPerfect? Who knows about MrPerfect's existence?"

'Guiying' stared at him with this confusing question. "Nobody-"

Then a certain name and face popped into her mind.

"Your abrupt pause gave me my answer. So there is somebody who knows about MrPerfect other than you, Bro Zixin and me."

"Your point?"

"That same person has been playing with us for a long time now. I want the name right now."

'Guiying' stared at him as if he was an idiot. "Of all the things I expected to hear, this is what I actually hear? You are putting the blame on somebody else?"

"Obviously," Jun coldly said, "I am innocent. You are innocent. Bro Zixin is innocent. Then the culprit has to be a fourth person. It cannot be any other way."

'She' asked incredulously, "So you are admitting that you are MrPerfect but you are still innocent in regards to what you did to me?"

"Yes. Because you..." Jun squinted his eyes. "I should say the real Cai Guiying wasn't talking to me this whole time in the first place."

'She' stiffened. "You know..."

'She' shot a deadly glare at Zixin thinking if he told Jun about 'her' existence.

Zixin quickly clarified. "I didn't tell him. He already knew."

"What?"

Ai clasped her hands together and slowly nodded. "We learned from Cai Lingyun. You...are not Guiying, right?"

'She' narrowed her eyes. "What business did you have in prying that idiot's personal life!?"

Ai jolted with the sharp roar and shut her eyes for a moment. She then calmly opened them and faced 'her.' "I apologize if you take this as interference but it was important to know because you..." she trembled, "you are my friend."

'She' suddenly burst into laughter. "Friend? I thought we forgot about that word ages ago. What do you mean by bringing your and hers so-called friendship in between!?"

Jun stepped between them to shield Ai.

"Jun, I am okay."

"Even if she is important to you, she cannot talk to you like this," he looked at 'Guiying' and said, "If you want to blame someone for prying into Guiying's life, then direct all your anger at me. I did everything. But don't say a word to Ai."

'Guiying' chuckled with disdain. "Look at you getting all protective towards your girlfriend. Where were these feelings of justice when you were playing with Guiying's heart?"

Jun stepped closer to her and said, "I never played with Guiying's heart because as I said just now, she wasn't talking to me in the first place."

"Then do you suppose she was talking to a ghost?"

"No. She was talking to MrPerfect indeed. But that MrPerfect wasn't me," he raised his hand and pointed his finger at Zixin. "Guiying was talking to Bro Zixin."
