The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 53



Lizzy couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned, her fist clenched as she gritted her teeth in anger. The humiliation that she suffered today was something that she would never forget. Luckily enough, she was alone in her tent otherwise, the person sleeping next to her would have had to endure the brunt of her anger.

"Lizzy!"

She heard a faint male voice outside of her tent. Then she heard her phone buzz. Opening the texts, her eyes turned wide at the message.

[Lizzy! If you hate Li Yue… come outside. Meet me at the back of your tent. Count ten trees behind your tent then head south. I will see you.- Ying.]

Lizzy's eyes turned bright. Ying was the man who defended her earlier. Was it possible that he wanted to avenge her? Without any hesitation, Lizzy slowly walked out of her tent and examined the now quiet surroundings. It was already two in the morning so everyone was already asleep. For a few seconds, Lizzy hesitated. What if someone was awake? However, the thought of her apology earlier made her forget all the what if's scenarios. She walked out of her tent and followed the instruction from the text. She didn't even care if it was someone else. Her hatred was much bigger than her doubts!

"Lizzy! Hey! Here!" A faint voice called out. She immediately turned towards the shadow behind the huge rock. Glancing at the direction where she had come from, Lizzy gulped and started walking towards the man.

"Ying? Ling Ying of the Ling Family?"

"Shhh… lower your voice. It is me." He held her hand and pulled her towards the rock.

"Why did you call me?"

"Revenge of course!"

"Revenge?" she frowned. "Do you have a plan?"

"You and Madam Sun are close, right?"

Lizzy gasped, her eyes widened before she nodded. "Why?"

"She told me to approach you if anything comes up. She said you could help."

"And?" Lizzy asked. "If you want to harm Mo Li, then I can't help you.�� She immediately refused. "I like him. There's no way I would harm him."

"What are you talking about? Why would I hurt Mo Li?"

"I thought Sun Fengmian wanted to hurt Mo Li?"

"She wants to hurt Mo Li… but Mo Li has people around him!" the man whispered as he looked at his surroundings as if afraid that someone was listening to their conversation.

"Really?"

"Of course! His father spoiled him too much and his maternal family are also… very strange towards him."

"So? Does this mean she won't hurt him?" For a few seconds, her face turned bright.

"It's not that she won't. It's just that she can't. She does not have the means to attack his shadow guards."

Lizzy turned silent. All of them knew that Mo Li's maternal family ruled this city. Hurting him would be very difficult. "So? You want to hurt Li Yue instead?"

"Of course!" the man stared at Lizzy's face, observing her reaction.

"And you want my help? How can I hurt her and not make myself the primary suspect? After that incident earlier, people are already thinking that I hate her… if something happens…"

"A bear is coming."

"What?"

"A bear! Like a huge bear!"

"Bear? What does it have to…" Lizzy let out a gasp. "You guys would let the bear attack the camp?"

"Of course! Once chaos ensues, you should do your best to get your revenge on that woman."

"But—"

"What? Don't you want to ruin that woman's face?"

"You mean…"

"You can use this." He gave her a small flask with a wooden lock. "It's poison. Once you throw it on to her face, it will rot. Only a doctor can stop it but the scars are not going to disappear unless she undergoes face surgery. Do you really think she will have the money to do that?"

"But…"

"I will take care of it. The bear will attack her and only her. By then… you should take the opportunity to attack her."

Lizzy bit her lower lips as she glanced at the clear liquid inside the flask. Ruining Li Yue's face… sounded too horrible. However, when she thought about the mockery in Li Yue's face earlier, hatred immediately shot through her blood. She trembled in anger. She really wanted to ruin that face!

And once that happens, Mo Li would surely leave that woman alone, right? She narrowed her eyes before she grabbed the small bottle from his hands. "You said that the bear will only attack her?"

"Yes. There is a scent that the bears really hate. It is a certain medicinal weed. We put it on their tent."

"Are you stupid? That means the bear will attack Mo Li too!"

"Shhhh… of course we know that. However, Mo Li has trained in martial arts since he was young. Naturally, he is agile and fast enough to avoid the bear. But Li Yue is not like that." The man made a deliberate pause. "I was not originally planning to give this to you. This is something that my mother owned. So it is important for me. However, seeing how she bullied you earlier, I was really angry and wanted to teach that woman a lesson."

She bit her lips in response, tears started to pool in her eyes. "Thank you Brother Ying." Of course, the way she addressed him immediately changed. "I couldn't thank you enough for this opportunity."

"Aish! Stop it Lizzy… you know how much I liked you since we were young. Though, I know you don't like me. I already decided to protect you in the shadows. You should grab this opportunity to get close to Mo Li."

"You—"

"Sun Fengmian already promised my family. Once Mo Fang became the heir, I will work under him." The man smiled.

"Truly?"

"Hmmm. So you should take this opportunity and get close to Mo Li. Build some friendship first. Just remember… you have to be very careful. After you throw the poison at her, run and never look back. We don't want the bear to attack you instead."

Lizzy immediately nodded as a smile bloomed in her face. "Alright… I will definitely treat you to a meal once we get back!" She said before she tiptoed and kissed the man's cheeks. "Goodbye Brother Ying. I will go back to my tent first."
