CHAPTER 427

"I see you have found your answer, young miss. There was indeed another spy."

"Indeed there was. Indeed there was." Peeling her gaze off the CCTV footage, Li Jing turned her head to the side at where the person speaking was standing.

Even though she was in the dark, she still could see her silhouette clearly.

"I am glad I could be of service to you."

"Me too, Alix, me too. I am happy because I believ it is playing out just well. They would not know what hit them."

She returned Li Jing"s smile with one of hers. "So, what next?"

"Isn"t it obvious? Time to take action, of course. Time to take the weed out from the root."

"Alright young miss. I am with you, every step of the way."

"Thanks."

In one of the rooms housing two of the maids, the two girls in question are seen whispering to each other while laughing heartedly every now and then.

"Did you see their faces? Even the young miss would be too confused. She would have no other choice other than to agree with me. Alix should go in for it," w.a.n.g Ju announced.

"I bet it. Like the young miss just had no choice but to side with you after the way you attacked that naughty girl," the second girl, Bei Ai said.

"Don"t you trust me? There was a reason Mrs Hu Qi put me in charge of this operation. My acting skills are just one in a million, Bei Ai."

"And what about me. I acted well too. I played the role of the concerned friend," Bei Ai said eagerly, awaiting her own praise like a child waiting to be praised by her mother.

"You did well," w.a.n.g Ju finally said the magic words she wanted to hear.

"As did you but, I must confess, I felt like you were over acting the stuff," Bei Ai finally confessed.

"Hmm, I could say the same for you," w.a.n.g Ju confessed too.

"How was mine that way. I acted my innocent part all too well."

"Exactly my point. All too well that it may seem you were pretending."

"Hey!" Bei Ai got angry. If there was anyone that over acted, then that would be w.a.n.g Ju, so why was she now the one taking all the blames?

"What is it? Can"t you see how you were acting with Chang Chu Hua. That girl is smart. Do not let her suspect you."

"Can"t you see you are doing the very same thing again, yourself, w.a.n.g Ju? Can"t you see, you are acting all defensive and speaking in ways and manner you shouldn"t be speaking at all. It looked as though you were deliberately putting the blame on Alix to exonerate yourself. Hmm, if you are caught, kindly do not bring me down with you."

"It I like you have forgotten we are in this together. If I go down, you go too."

"Hey, if you go down it was due to your sorry excuse of your poor acting skills and not anything else. So why bring me down too? You better not try nonsense because I would deny it."

"I see. So this is how you are? Hmm I wonder why you are so confident in yourself and acting skills that you feel I am the one who would be caught? It feels to me that you have an alibi."

"Excuse me?"

"Yes, excuse you. Why do I feel like you have betrayed me and gone to seek out young miss."

"w.a.n.g Ju! How dare you insinuate that?"

"If I am lying, then why would you want to not go down with me?"

"Because you were stupid and overacted your part. You were just too confident in yourself for your own good. You better just pray and not get me p.i.s.sed off and get caught as well."

"Hmm, you wish," w.a.n.g Ju said with a snare at her.

"Anyways, I think our fifteen minutes is up. The last thing I want is for anyone to be suspicious of me. So I would head out now, you can come out later."

"I think there would be no need for that, you two."

Both ladies eyes widened in shock. They had least expected that this person would be here of all places and at a time like this.

"I think I already have heard first hand from the culprit themselves and have my answer as well," Li Jing continued as she turned the door k.n.o.b, opening it and letting herself in.

Both maids froze upon setting their eyes on her. Their doom was already there. It seemed that they had over thought of themselves.

"Indeed there was another spy, I just did not expect that it would be you but why even rule out that option when you two were roommates. Birds of same feather, flock together."

"Young miss, please, I am afraid you miss heard," w.a.n.g Ju quickly tried to defend herself.

"I miss heard? Wow!"

Seeing as they were already in soup, Bei Ai decided not to implicate herself any forther and quickly knelt down before Li Jing with both hands lifted in front of her and clasped together as she began to plead for forgiveness.

"I am sorry, young miss, please have mercy."

"You see, young miss. She was the one all along. She is in conjunction with Alix," w.a.n.g Ju lied.

That was it. Li Jing was already p.i.s.sed off. She hated lies with pa.s.sion especially when one was caught and still tried to acquisition blame to someone else.

"How dare you still lie before me!" Li Jing bellowed at her.

Slowly she raised her right hand and touched her phone screen. Immediately an audio began to play with the voices of both girls on display and all they were saying, out in the open.

"At least this is your voice, one. Secondly, you not only gave yourselves out, you gave out my grand auntie, the orchestrator of the whole plan. Thank you very much for being a spy for her and making things easy for me."

"Young miss."

"You out there, come in and take them out."
