Chapter 444: Let's go back home

The traitors were shocked out of their wits.

“Mr. Chao. What is this!? You had voted against Liu Jinhai!” Mr. Su asked.

Mr. Chao shrugged. “What is what? How do you feel like being cheated on now?”

Mr. Tan yelled. “This is a fraud!”

“Fraud?” Mr. Chao chuckled. “Are you saying that I did fraud? Then you two are the epitome of fraud.”

“You betrayed Liu Corps. I played the same game as you. All the allegations that you denied, you cannot do it anymore because I am a witness. You discussed all your plans while I was there, including the one where you decided to hack the software with a virus to compromise the deal.”

They froze and turned pale. Their faces looked as if somebody had drained all the blood out of it.

Mr. Chao took out his phone and played one recording.

“Pei Yuan. It’s done just as you wanted. Liu Jinhai has stepped down from the CEO position. We will put Mr. Long in his place, who will dance on our fingertips. Hahaha!”

Then he played another.

“We have to do something. The only way is to tamper with the software.”

“How?” came Mr. Tan’s voice.

“Idiot! Just bring a bug or something. We will hire a hacker and bribe him to insert a virus in the software.”

“Right. The clients will get furious if the data is lost!”

“Yes!”

Then another.

“Hahaha! It went just as planned. The virus destroyed everything, and we gave the deal to Pei Yuan! We have finally kicked out Xin too!”

“Hah! Now nobody can stop us. Liu Corps belongs to us now!”

There was a long silence after the recordings ended.

Pei Yuan gritted his teeth. “Idiots!”

He quickly looked at Nana and tried to get up. “Nana. Don’t misunderstand me. I-I did this all for you. You can never be happy with him. Come to me, Nana. The whole Moon Corps will be yours. I will give you everything!”

Nana turned her head away in disgust.

Jinhai sneered. “No matter how much Nana tells you that she doesn’t love you, you wouldn’t ever believe her. Because I found something very interesting from a doctor who treated you ten years back.”

Pei Yuan stared at him with a dumbstruck gaze.

“What the hell Liu Jinhai!?” He suddenly got up and charged towards him like a madman, but the guards quickly caught him and forced him to kneel on the ground.

The change in his behavior was so sudden that Nana was surprised. It was as if somebody flipped a switch in him.

“What happened that got him so riled up? And what doctor?”

“Don’t listen to him, Nana! He is trying to defame me! He is spouting all lies. Don’t listen to his nonsense.”

Jinhai ignored him and said, “You did well trying to hide your records, but nothing can be hidden from Liu Jinhai for too long. Your mother’s death had a huge effect on you. I mean, mentally. You were not sane any longer. Your mind developed all these theories about her death. For a long time, you were in depression, and the child care authorities had to take you to a psychiatrist, especially after you killed your nanny at age fifteen, who was looking after you in an orphanage.”

Nana covered her mouth in shock.

“Shut up, Liu Jinhai, or I will tear your face off!”

Jinhai went on. “Your violent behavior only increased as the days passed by, and you began harming more and more people around you. The authorities had to admit you in an institution for taking care of your mental health.”

Pei Yuan’s expression was turning uglier and vicious.

“What mental health!? I am fine! I am not crazy! Nana, my Nana. Don’t believe him.”

Jinhai said, “You refused to believe that your mother made the wrong decision in killing herself and leaving you alone. If you hated her too, then there was nobody left in your life you cared about. So you put all the blame on Dad.”

He took out one report. “I talked to your doctor who treated you for two years in the past. He said that you had a serious problem of not being able to accept reality. That is called Anosognosia – lack of ability to perceive the realities of one’s own condition.”

Nana took the report from him and read through it.

Pei Yuan screamed. “I don’t have any condition! Everybody is lying! Everybody hates me, so they want to make me look pathetic.”

“Why would everyone hate you when they don’t even know you in the first place? But you still believe they do. That is what this condition is, and that is why you think that Nana cannot love me, and you never will. You will always believe that Nana loves you. Even if we happily make love right in front of you, you would still refuse to believe us.”

Nana suddenly coughed in embarrassment.

“Your mind shaped yourself like that which thinks that what you think and believe is the only truth. Everything else is lies. Your doctor tried to make you understand about your mother’s death, but you didn’t listen. And then two years later, you escaped from the institution. You secretly built your own business to have revenge on Liu Corps.”

“Ughhh! Shut up! Nana, these are all lies! I am perfectly fine. I am not crazy. I didn’t go to any doctor. They all want to frame me. They all want to separate us!”

Nana finally understood his condition. No wonder she found it so tough to get across the simple fact that she always loved Jinhai.

“Unfortunately, Nana and I had some differences in between that coincided when you met Nana. And that only fueled your false perception that Nana is not happy with me. Well, sure, she was furious at me but not to the point that she would start hating me.”

Ah…right.

Nana felt a sense of enlightenment as she understood the whole thing.

That’s why he was so adamant! I had just left Liu villa at that time and was living separately from Jinhai.

Pei Yuan violently resisted against the guards, but it was hopeless. His gaze teared up as he looked at Nana. “Nana. You are mine. Can you not see how he is shamelessly trying to sow discord in us? He knows that you love me, and that is why he is hopelessly trying to separate us. Nana, tell him! Tell him that you love me. Tell him that you trust me! Tell him that you are not happy with him. Isn’t that why you left him? I know the truth, Nana. Don’t hide it anymore. Don’t be afraid of Jinhai! I will protect you!”

Nana already realized that he was beyond any help. There was no use talking to him in this condition. It would feel like banging your head on the wall.

She sighed and just stayed silent.

Jinhai smiled. “And for your information, Liu Corps never lost any deals. Xin and I worked in the background with the clients, and we pretended that you clinched all of them. Our falling reputation was also a hoax. It is Moon Corps that is going bankrupt because all the recordings are already given to every media company. Right now, your face would be flashing everywhere.”

He was stunned.

“I knew everything, but I waited for the right moment. Do you know why? Because I wanted to give you the illusion that you won. I wanted you to reach your highest point where you thought that everything is in your control before I burst your happy bubble of misunderstanding and make you crash on the ground. Do you think Nana would have come here when you called her? I told her to go. It was all my plan to finally end your chapter.”

Pei Yuan felt as if he was zapped by lightning.

It was Jinhai who won from the beginning. He never had a chance!

“I even allowed Mr. Su, Mr. Tan, and Mr. Long to gain control of Liu Corps. I knew there were some rats in the company, so I wanted to flush them out in one strike too.”

The three traitors gritted his teeth and clenched their fists.

Pei Yuan suddenly laughed. “No, no, no. Nana cannot do this to me. She loves me. She cannot trap me.”

Jinhai shrugged. “Whatever you feel. It doesn’t matter anymore. But now it’s time for you to pay. And I will settle everything with you in my base.”

He signaled the guards. “Take them away. Mr. Tan, Mr. Su, and Mr. Long have a lot of debt to pay back to Liu Corps.”

The guards dragged them out while they were screaming like madmen.

“Liu Jinhai. Please forgive me. I won’t betray the company any more!”

“You cannot kick us out! We have worked for years!”

“Nana! He is lying. Come back to me!”

The noises finally stopped, and it was peace again.

Jinhai smiled and pulled her in his arms. “I told you everything would be soon over, right?”

Nana warmly smiled. “En.”

“Finally, Pei Yuan is gone.”

She nodded. “I can only pity him. Maybe if his mother hadn’t selfishly killed herself, he could have turned out to be a different man today.”

Jinhai slowly nodded too.

Nana leaned on his chest and said, “Jinhai.”

“Hm?”

“I am tired. Let’s go back home.”

A gentle smile graced his lips. “En. Let’s go back home.”
