"She thought she could leave me bedridden and go scot-free. Hell no! Her period of grace was long exhausted. Now it's an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth but since I am Yang Zi, anyone who snatches a tooth from me, will not only get his tooth snatched away but also his eyes so, she should better watch her back the next time she strikes because I will be sure to repay the favour in double folds," Yang Zi said, as she took the glasses off.

The petrified Zhao Liying just sat there like a robot.

​​

Did she just say that she aimed to get me killed?

Zhao Liying thought, still in shock. Zhao Liying continued to sit like that for a few minutes. Her mum who just entered the room was shocked to see her in this state.

"Liying, what is wrong? Are you Ok?" Her mum asked worriedly as she hurried to her side. Zhao Liying slowly lifted her index finger and pointed it at the dagger stuck into the portrait hanging on the wall.

"Who did that? Who dares to threaten you like that?" Mrs Zhao asked when she understood the message Zhao Liying was trying to pass.

"Mum, she said she aimed to kill me and my friends. She even expressed her regret of seeing me alive. Mum, you have to help me. She is not a human but a coldhearted monster. You can't let her go unscathed after she left me, Pei Yan and Zihua seriously injured," Zhao Liying said as she suddenly embraced her mum.

"Zihua is still in a coma all because of her and Pei Yan is also seriously injured. Mum, you have to avenge all our grievances," Zhao Liying said hugging her mum tighter.

"Liying, you don't have to look so terrified. Don't worry, mum will do something about this," Mrs Zhao said as she patted her back affectionately.

Zhao Liying smirked devilishly after she heard her mum's last words.

Yang Zi, you have always acted so proud because you think I can never defeat you, now let's see whether you will still be able to live so peacefully now that my mum has decided to intervene. Your end has come, Yang Zi.

Zhao Liying thought smiling menacingly hugging her mum tighter.

...

Outside the hospital, on sighting Yang Zi from afar off Yifeng hurried to meet her. When he reached her, he offered her his right hand for her to lean on. The excited Yang Zi readily leaned on his hand without any objections. Yifeng's driver drove out of the hospital after they were both comfortably seated in the car.

Midway into their journey, Yifeng who was chatting and playing with Yang Zi inside the car quickly changed their discussion.

"Zi Er, I have wanted to ask you something for a while now but I totally forgot after the guys dropped by," Yifeng said, his once happy expression turning serious. He went ahead with his question when Yang Zi signalled him to ask the question on his mind.

'We initially planned to leave the hospital in the morning but why did you suddenly change it to tonight?" Yifeng asked curiously. He focused all his attention solely on her pretty face.

"Because I did not want paparazzi searching for news taking our pictures while coming out of the hospital. The news of the accident that you have been trying so hard to hide from the press would have got published and I did not want this to happen," Yang Zi said, forcing on a smile. Although preventing the news of her hospitalization was the reason she wanted to get discharged in the night that was not her only reason.

On the day Zhao Liying had the effrontery to brag about being responsible for her accident, she had vowed to give her a taste of her own medicine. Although her plan was flawlessly executed, she still did not want to leave the hospital without paying her new neighbour a visit that is why she had charged her discharge time to tonight with hopes that Zhao Liying would wake up before then. Speaking to Zhao Liying earlier made her extremely happy.

"Really?" Yifeng asked suspiciously. His expression showed that he did not believe what she said.

I wonder if the reason she suddenly changed her discharged time has something to do with the secret call I overheard that day? What exactly is this smart woman of mine up to?

Yifeng thought, still staring at Yang Zi's face.

"Yes, that is the reason so stop being in doubts," Yang Zi said, as she rested her head on his shoulders to avoid being asked further questions.

Few minutes after Yang Zi closed her eyes, Yifeng's phone beeped. After making sure that Yang Zi was asleep Yifeng removed his phone from his pocket and quickly checked the content of the message he just received.

"Boss, Madam dropped by at Miss Zhao hospital room before she left the hospital. I don't know what they talked about but Miss Zhao looked very upset after Madam's visit," Yifeng turned to stare at his woman's peaceful expression after he finished reading the message.

How could I forget the type of woman I have after such a short time of being together with her? I shouldn't have forgotten that she is the type who doesn't spare anyone who dares to mess with her or those she loves. I was planning to give her a very huge surprise by making them pay in the same way, I can't believe she beat me to it.

Yifeng thought as he patted her head affectionately.

Zi Er, don't worry starting from this moment I won't let you be one step ahead of me in making our enemies pay for their wrongdoings. Zi Er, my biggest surprise is on its way. It will deal a huge blow on our enemies. They won't be so proud again after I break their wings of protection.

Yifeng said smiling at the sleeping Yang Zi. Seeing how peacefully Yang Zi slept, Yifeng instructed his driver to drive gently. The journey that should have taken fifteen minutes took them thirty minutes.

"Why is the entire Mansion so dark?" Yang Zi who just woke up asked, staring at the dark Mansion.
