Turns Out Seducing the Movie Queen Can Break the Plot - Chapter 68

Everything came back to her.

The memories that had been obscured by interference, the reason she was controlled by the plot, the answer to why she could break free from the plot’s control when near Wen Wen.

Jiang Chi remembered it all.

Turns out, she had loved no less than Wen Wen.

Turns out, this was already the 100th time she had thrown caution to the wind and been brave for Wen Wen.

“Elder sister, it hurts so much.”

Splash!

Before her consciousness fully returned, a basin of cold water was suddenly thrown over her face. The shock made Jiang Chi furrow her brows tightly. Her eyelids fluttered before she slowly opened her eyes.

Something cold pressed against her chin, tilting her head up. Jiang Chi blinked, the water covering her eyes trickling away, finally allowing her to see the person before her clearly.

Bai Yuetong sneered. “If I didn’t wake you like this, you’d think I called you here just to let you sleep, wouldn’t you?”

Bai Yuetong had always presented herself as gentle and soft, like a pristine White Lotus, speaking in nothing but soft whispers. But now, the resentment and disgust she harbored for Jiang Chi were written plainly across her face. The term “twisted with rage” suited her perfectly.

Jiang Chi parted her lips, something uncontrollably spilling from the corner of her mouth. She wanted to raise her hand to wipe it away but realized, upon trying to move, that her hands were tied behind the chair.

She flexed her fingers slightly, despairingly aware that even if she weren’t bound, she wouldn’t have been able to lift her arms.

Too much information had flooded her mind while she was unconscious. For a moment, Jiang Chi couldn’t recall what had just happened to her. Only now did she remember she had been in a car accident earlier.

No wonder her body felt as though it had been shattered and hastily pieced back together, every inch of it throbbing with excruciating pain.

Another metallic tang rose in her mouth. Jiang Chi coughed, blood spraying directly onto the metal pipe pressed against her chin. She gasped heavily a few times before tilting her head back to glare at the woman before her. “What do you want?”

“What do I want?” Bai Yuetong let out a cold laugh. “Of course, I want you to experience firsthand just how ‘pleasant’ all the methods you once used on me truly were.”

“Right now, I have only one goal, to torment you to death, bit by bit, and return every ounce of humiliation you once gave me.”

Slap!

The sound of the strike echoed through the empty floor.

“You have no idea, do you? Since childhood, Bai Liang has been cursing Jiang Qingyuan and Liu Ci in my ears, yet she never stopped praising you, lifting you to the heavens. You know why, don’t you? They thought you were her biological daughter! Who would’ve guessed you weren’t? Hahahaha! They nearly lost their minds at the police station yesterday, insisting none of this could be real.”

“Why? I’ve lived under your shadow my entire life, and now even the happiest surprise of my life is ruined! Why? What makes you better than me? Why do all the good things fall to you? Why!”

Bai Yuetong seemed to have gone mad, venting her fury on Jiang Chi. With nearly every word, she inflicted another torment, laughing hysterically all the while, as if truly unhinged.

“Why couldn’t your life have been mine? Hmm? You were so cruel to me before, why does fate still side with you? Why!”

“Oh, at least one seems to be on my side. That man Su Jing is truly an obedient lapdog. You probably didn’t know, but we’ve actually been together long before I officially signed with your family’s company.”

“Here’s another thing you didn’t know while you were pursuing Su Jing, I was already flirting with him. Back then, he suggested I become his secret lover, promising to use your resources to build me a perfect future.”

“But who knew what kind of person you were back then? You might’ve liked him one second and rejected him the next. So I refused him too until I learned you loved him with your whole being. Hahahaha, how insane! Jiang Chi, you actually loved a man like that with your life. If I weren’t desperate, I’d never have come back to him. He even offered his body to those high-society ladies to save me. Tell me, doesn’t that prove how much he loves me? Hahahaha!”

“Absolutely mad! Hahaha! A man who climbed his way up using women, yet had the audacity to talk to me about love, swearing he’d give me a perfect future, hahaha! What a joke!”

Compared to Bai Yuetong’s torrent of words, what truly registered in Jiang Chi’s ears was her maniacal laughter.

Jiang Chi’s ears rang incessantly, the pain in her body keeping her consciousness in a foggy state.

She wanted to explain herself, to tell Bai Yuetong that everything she’d done before wasn’t truly her will, it had all happened under the story’s control while her memories were completely sealed.

In truth, she’d already died 99 times in this world. And in every single life before this one, Bai Yuetong’s schemes had succeeded, she became the Jiang family’s lost heirloom at Liu Ci’s banquet, their long-lost treasure finally returned.

Afterward, Bai Yuetong even released videos of Jiang Chi bullying her. The Jiang family’s most noble young princess fell from grace overnight, becoming universally despised.

Jiang Qingyuan distrusted her. Liu Ci loathed her. Even her once doting parents ultimately allowed Bai Yuetong to exact cruel revenge, leaving her to die half-naked on the streets.

If anyone was the true victim here, it was her. Across those 99 lives, Bai Yuetong had stolen her existence again and again while she kept dying…

Even Wen Wen had.

Sister!

This time, the truth had finally come out, yet it seemed she would die again. She no longer had the strength to speak.

Wen Wen, how she wished to see her sister again. Could she at least… see her one last time? If she really died now, it would truly be their final meeting.

Sister!

There was so much she still wanted to tell Wen Wen. Would that fool still seek vengeance for her this time.

Tears mixed with blood streamed from the corners of her eyes. How she longed to speak to Wen Wen again, even if just one last word.

“Ah!”

Jiang Chi’s body jerked upright as excruciating pain shot through her fingernails, jolting her fading consciousness back to alertness.

“If I’m suffering, then no one else gets to be happy either, Jiang Chi. You’ll be leaving first, and I’ll be right behind you.”

Bai Yuetong pulled the wire out from under her fingernail, eliciting another blood-curdling scream. Jiang Chi gasped for air, struggling for what felt like an eternity before barely managing to utter a single word: “No…”

“Oh, I know you didn’t use this method on me back then,” Bai Yuetong said, crossing her arms as she looked down at her. The bloodied wire was tossed aside. “This is just my little gift to you, to show you how amateurish your past methods were. Let me give you a taste of something more… stimulating.”

“Almost time,” Bai Yuetong clapped her hands, and soon five men emerged from the stairwell, lining up beside her.

Bai Yuetong moved behind Jiang Chi, gripping her hair to force her head up, whispering into her ear: “Well? Miss Jiang? Do you recognize these men?”

Of course Jiang Chi recognized them. These were the same disgusting faces she had seen when she first awakened, the very men she had once hired to humiliate Bai Yuetong. But now…

Bai Yuetong roughly shoved her face away and stepped back in front of her. “Alright then, any last words? I might consider passing them along for you.”

A flicker of consciousness struggled against the encroaching darkness. Jiang Chi strained to lift her head, her voice barely audible: “I…”

But after just one word, she broke into violent coughing. Fighting to steady her breath, she forced herself to speak: “I… I want to talk to Wen Wen.”

Slap!

Another brutal strike.

The sound was so sharp that even the five men flinched, exchanging uneasy glances. But they stayed silent, they were just hired hands, after all.

“Jiang Chi, do you really think I’m that stupid? Call her so she can track our location and come rescue you?”

“But I heard from Su Jing that you two had a complete falling out. Do you really think she’d be willing to save you?”

“And even if she were no, let me rephrase that, whoever is planning to rescue you right now, I’ll make sure you’re dead before they get here. Trading my worthless life for yours? Worth it!”

“I’ll give you one more chance. If you still can’t appreciate my generosity, don’t blame me for not letting you leave any last words…”

The pain had nearly numbed her entire body, her mind teetering on the edge of collapse. Only a sliver of awareness remained, clinging desperately.

She really was about to die…

Some things could never be normalized, not even death. She had died 99 times already, she should have been able to face it calmly by now. And yet, this time, she was more terrified than ever. In all her previous deaths, the truth had only been revealed after she was gone. But now…

Not only was she just one step away from victory, this was also her last chance.

Truly her final chance.

She didn’t want to die. She wanted to travel with her sister, to live with her. There were still so many things she wanted to say to her…

Jiejie…

“Looks like you’ve got nothing to say?” Bai Yuetong narrowed her eyes, studying her.

“No.” Jiang Chi’s voice seemed to come from a distant place, hollow and far-reaching. “Please… there’s one thing… please, you must convey this to Wen Wen for me… I love her.”

If there was a next life, she would try her best to recognize her as soon as possible, and then stay with her properly.

“Just this one sentence?”

“Enough.”

She wanted to say more, but the pain was too much.

Another fit of coughing, and Jiang Chi spat out a mouthful of blood.

The bald man looked at the scene with concern. “She won’t die before we even get to play with her, will she? What would that make us then?”

Bai Yuetong dismissed it casually. “She won’t. People don’t die that easily. Just be gentle with her, alright? Learn to cherish the fairer sex.”

The bald man asked, “When do we start?”

Bai Yuetong replied, “Start now. Do a good job, don’t disappoint our precious young lady.”

The bald man waved his hand, and the two men behind him immediately understood. They stepped forward, untied Jiang Chi, and laid her flat on the ground.

Just then, the sky suddenly echoed with the “buzz.” of wings cutting through the air.
