"Miss Han Caiying, my name is Li Huale. You can call me whatever you like. Also, I am the person you have been waiting for!" Li Huale replied politely, as if he were speaking to an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.

Han Caiying also composed herself and replied in a slightly calm tone, "Mr. Li, hello. Please take a seat. The coffee here is quite good, you should try it!"

Li Huale nodded and walked to the chair opposite Han Caiying and sat down. However, his body was slightly tense. Just from Han Caiying's tone, Li Huale could sense that this woman was not to be underestimated. It seemed that today's meeting would not be easy.

After a while, Li Huale asked the waiter to bring a cup of... milk tea, then took a few sips and smiled, "It's really good!"

...

Good my sister, is this coffee?

Han Caiying didn't want to nitpick. She had really been on the verge of going crazy recently, not because of mental issues, but because of the anger that was driving her mad.

Just a week ago, when she saw the photos in her mailbox, it felt like her whole world had collapsed. The flames of anger burned fiercely in her heart.

Betrayal is always one of the things humans find hardest to accept and forgive.

In fact, Li Huale also found it impressive. He had been worried that this Choi Dongjun was a good guy, but reality proved a principle: all crows are black, especially these wealthy and powerful men, who are completely black coal. Even if not all of them, the majority are.

On the second day of surveillance, the person responsible for Choi Dongjun took photos of him partying with a company client at a club. Later, he drove with a very beautiful woman, who could even be compared to a celebrity, to a secluded public parking garage on the first underground level.

Then came the intense rhythm. That subordinate was really impressive, crawling forward and secretly filming from the front of the car, where everything inside the windshield was clearly visible.

In fact, Li Huale had not only photos but also videos in his possession.

"Mr. Li, why did you send those photos to me?" Han Caiying asked directly after taking a sip of coffee, her tone very serious.

Li Huale was not affected by her. To maintain the initiative, he still smiled and said, "As a champion of justice and a fan of Miss Han, of course, I want Miss Han to know the truth!"

Han Caiying frowned. Due to the disguise of her glasses, Li Huale couldn't see her expression clearly, but he could imagine she wasn't too pleased.

"Mr. Li, please be straightforward. What do you want? How much more information do you have? I believe that you, who dragged the Choi family business into a scandal, must have a lot of information about Choi Dongjun!"

Han Caiying didn't say anything foolish out of anger as Li Huale had expected. Instead, she went straight to the point and said something that surprised him.

However, Li Huale was only surprised by this woman's sharpness. He didn't believe that Han Caiying knew he was the one who exposed the Choi family scandal. She probably just connected the dots from the photos.

'Is she testing me?'

Li Huale thought seriously. After a moment, he replied, "The Choi family scandal? That has nothing to do with me. But I do have a lot of information, not just what you saw last time. Of course, some of it isn't very relevant to you. But besides those photos, I also have a very explosive video!"

Li Huale took a USB drive out of his pocket and placed it on the table in front of him. Han Caiying's eyes brightened for a moment, but then they were filled with anger.

"What do you want, Mr. Li? If it's money, just name your price!" Han Caiying suppressed her anger and said coldly.

Li Huale shook his head and said, "Money... I'm not interested. If Miss Han can agree to one condition, this USB drive is yours!"

Hearing this, Han Caiying instinctively felt uncomfortable. No matter what, even though Li Huale had uncovered Choi Dongjun's secrets, she didn't feel any gratitude towards him. In fact, she found him quite annoying. But now she had to get that information.

"What condition?"

"Help me shoot an advertisement in the future!"

"An advertisement? ? ? ? ?"

Han Caiying was a bit puzzled, feeling something was off. Why would he need to use such means to get her to shoot an advertisement?

"What kind of advertisement?"

Hearing Han Caiying's question, Li Huale touched his nose and smiled, "A 'safe' advertisement!"

Hearing this, Han Caiying stood up abruptly, already holding her coffee cup, but in the end, she didn't throw it. Instead, she sat back down and said coldly, "Is this your goal? To use this information to threaten me into shooting such an advertisement?"

Such an advertisement?

Hearing this, Li Huale was also annoyed. What do you mean by such an advertisement? I want to make it a public service announcement to warn people and spread positive energy. Why is it considered such an advertisement? Damn...

"Miss Han Caiying, you might be misunderstanding something. You're also overestimating yourself. In my eyes, you're not even a second-rate actress. I only proposed this condition because of your good looks and past popularity. I hope you understand that I am not forcing or threatening you. Even if you agree to shoot the advertisement, you won't be the spokesperson or the lead. There will be other more popular artists involved. With your image as a wealthy housewife, how much influence do you have?

Moreover, Miss Han, you need to understand that I have no other thoughts or interests in you. Your only value is to be a supporting role in an advertisement."

If this were an online game, Li Huale would have just used a god-level taunt, instantly maxing out his hate value towards Han Caiying. No one could pull him back.

And because of Li Huale's words, Han Caiying was indeed furious. Even though they met to discuss the information, she still asked coldly, "Is that so? How popular can it be? Why don't you tell me which superstars are willing to shoot such an advertisement?"

"That's not something Miss Han should worry about. If you think I'm lying, we can sign a contract. As long as no more than two popular stars participate in the advertisement, and if there's anything inappropriate in the content, Miss Han can refuse to shoot it, and the contract will be null and void. If you agree, this USB drive is yours, and I guarantee there are no other copies!" Li Huale didn't want to become enemies with Han Caiying, so after being firm, he took a step back.

Hearing this, Han Caiying was a bit puzzled and wondered if it was a trap. Thinking of the word 'safe,' she felt uneasy.

But Li Huale's words were so absolute, and he even mentioned a contract. Han Caiying felt a bit curious despite her puzzlement.

But that's not the important thing now...

"If it's really as you say, I can sign the contract with you. But if it's different from what you say, I will refuse without hesitation. Also..."

"Also what?"

Han Caiying was silent for a moment, then suddenly stared straight at Li Huale. Even through her sunglasses, Li Huale could sense a hint of madness. What was this woman planning?

Han Caiying was silent for a moment, then suddenly changed her mind and said fiercely, "Since Mr. Li can cause such a big scandal, adding one more person shouldn't be too much trouble, right?"

"Scandal? What scandal? If Miss Han is talking about the Choi family business, I can only say I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about it. As for why I have this information, it's because the Choi family business wanted to break a contract with my company, so I investigated Choi Dongjun, who met with me that day. But if Miss Han really needs help, I can certainly try. Are you sure you want to do this?" Li Huale said in a righteous tone, looking like a good person with no ill intentions.

Han Caiying was slightly surprised but quickly dismissed it. For her, the Choi family business was no longer relevant. In terms of personality, Han Caiying was more of a strong, dominant woman, but love sometimes made her softer.

But when she discovered that this so-called love was a lie and a betrayal, the anger in her heart could destroy everything.
