The Devil who devoured Snow White

302  Original Plan

(Continuation of Flashback)

During that time, instead of leaving the place, she sat down on the sofa and tried her best to calm herself down. All she had to do was to make her brother believe that she was on his side.

It only took a matter of minutes before her brother arrived at their place. He had a dark and serious look on his face when he entered the living room.

"I'm surprised that you're still here." He stopped a few feet away from her.

As she drew her eyes at him, the side of her lips curled up into a taunting smirk. "I always knew you were disgusting."

Cian raised a brow, obviously not expecting such words from her.

Cecilia stood from her seat and instead, went towards the kitchen area. "We all have our secrets to hide. I just never thought that you are into stalking black-haired women." She grabbed a bottle of wine and poured it on the wine glass. "How many have you killed so far, dear brother?"

Just as expected, her twin brother was speechless at how she was reacting. "You… are you not afraid?"

"And why should I be?" She picked the glass before she turned her gaze back at him once again. "Are you going to kill me too? My hair is not black you know. Besides, you're my brother, I don't really care if you have such fetishes." She shrugged. "You're not planning on hurting your only family, right?"

Cian was still quiet as he scrutinized her under his gaze. He was trying to read through her. He knew that unlike him, his sister was rather 'normal'. A normal person would go frenzy and frantic once they learned about the things so why was she calm?

"Have you heard the recent news in the mainland?" She took a sip from her drink as she waited for him to answer.

"You mean by Bai Keran's death?"

"Yes. You know what that should mean, right?" She smirked at him. "That means that we can finally go back."

Cian was quiet, waiting for his sister to continue.

"I'm sure that Yong Liwei's marriage with Lu Mengjie has reached your ears."

At the mention of their marriage, Cecilia noticed the murderous glint that flashed in her brother's eyes. Placing the glass on the counter, she mustered up all her courage to approach him. She knew that she was playing with fire but this was the only way she could make up for her brother's sins.

She reached out and held his hands. "How about we work together, Cian? You want Lu Mengjie, and I want Yong Liwei."

"Work together…" He muttered as he stared at her for a while. Finally, the side of his lips curled up into one of his usual smiles. "That's a great idea, sister. I never you knew you had such a side."

"That's because I'm more careful than you. You know that I want Yong Liwei so if we work together, having you beside me will make things easier." Cecilia was so sure that he would surely be tempted with the offer she had suggested to him, especially when they both knew that Yong Liwei was someone Cian couldn't handle.

And so, by deceiving him, Cecilia was able to buy more time. She couldn't approach Yong Liwei so easily, that was why she decided to go to her half-brother. After meeting Bai Jingye in the hospital, she actually kept connected to him by using the new phone she bought.

"You mean Lu Mengjie is in danger?" Bai Jingye asked with a frown on his face. They were currently in Bai Jingye's penthouse.

She knew her twin brother well. He was a smart man who could install his eyes anywhere he wanted so she had no choice but to do something he wouldn't expect, approaching their half-brother.

"Why don't you just have the authorities take care of him?" He suggested.

"I would have done it already if I knew that they could take care of him." She sighed heavily. "But Jingye, he could make himself disappear. You don't know how good his skills are."

Bai Jingye pursed his lips. He knew someone that could make herself disappear under everyone's radar, Li Bingbing. She did the same when Bai Keran was looking for her.

"So please, help me reach Yong Liwei," she begged. She had told him everything she knew. It was a risky move on her part but Cecilia had to take the risk of trusting Bai Jingye. He was one of Yong Liwei's acquaintances after all.

Cecilia's plan was simple. She was supposed to use Bai Jingye as the guy to keep in contact with Yong Liwei. She never planned on approaching him at all. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I want to help you." Bai Jingye was not going to sit still especially when Lu Mengjie's life was involved. "But your brother will be able to see through your plans if we keep on with it. He'll doubt you if you won't try to make a move on Yong Liwei."

And so, with the help of Bai Jingye, Cecilia was finally able to get in touch with Yong Liwei. Aside from that, Bai Jingye gave him a heads up about the plan they had against Cian.

During the day when Lu Mengjie caught Yong Liwei's 'cheating evidence', it was actually all according to their plan.

Through Lu Mengjie's genuine reactions, they were able to make Cian think that Cecilia's seduction towards Yong Liwei was working. Their goal was to deceive him as they began setting their trap on him but… things didn't go according to their plans.

They had to delay their plans on capturing Cian all of a sudden all because of Yong Liwei's urgent agenda in the Azure Republic. Both Bai Jingye and Cecilia wanted to go on with their scheme but they had to hold back. They needed Yong Liwei with them since he was the one who was playing the main role in their plan. He was supposed to keep on agitating Lu Mengjie to the point where she wanted to have a divorce with him. Cian was watching her after all. Even if a part of Yong Liwei didn't want to do it, he knew that he had to use his wife as his pawn to manipulate her enemy. Their enemy.
