Chapter 87 - End of Yao Yao (1)

Su Jianan was working on her report to send it to Long Ah Hai when she received the recording that Matt had made. After listening to Matt Long's theory,she was also curious to get to know more about this Yao Yao.From what she heard about Shi Ai's and Zhang Min's plan,she was satisfied that her new students at least understood the basics of strategizing and were not totally dumb in that area. She had been hesitant in taking them under her wing and had directly refused Long Ah Hai when he had emailed her. But that man was good at using under handed techniques and knew that she would not be able to say no to Matt so he used his brother to make her agree. And now it seemed their main nemesis was leveling up her game.

Sighing,she picked up her phone and sent a message to Shi Ai and Zhang Min to come to her room. She had taken over the biggest guest room on the first floor in the Zhang household much to the vexation of Uncle Chu-the butler who insisted in a stoic way that the room was reserved.Who it was reserved for he wouldn't tell her so she did what she wanted. Once they were here,she would play the new recording. She wanted to see the reaction Shi Ai had after more betrayal. 

For now,she was going to teach them physical training and self defense techniques but from what she understood though Zhang Min came across as emotionally mature and perceptive, he would need more emotional build up than Shi Ai. 

Zhang Min and Shi Ai knocked on Sister Su's door in the evening,the moment they were home. Zhang Min had never feared entering a room in his own home as he did now. A polite,"come in: was commanded from inside. The two looked at each other and went inside.

Shi Ai was amazed at the room which had been transformed. Gone was the dresing table and in it's place was a big magnetic white board with all kinds of diagrams and quotes..A small round table was scattered with many papers and an open laptop in the middle.The french doors which opened to a small balcony that was now covered with yoga mats and even a punching bag hung on a hook. Shi Ai thought that this place probably looked like a police strategy room. But before she could take more flights of fancy about the room, Yao Yao's voice echoed in the room,"I am Shi Ai's friend.."

Shi Ai stilled and sat in a nearby chair as she heard the entire conversation between Matt Long and Yao Yao. After the conversation, Su Jianan narrated all of what Matt had messaged her and waited for Shi Ai's reaction. She sat there still without any movement while her blank eyes stared straight ahead. Zhang Min was getting worried when she finally broke into a cold smile that sent chills through Zhang Min and impressed even Miss Su. She then said," Yao Yao does not seem to remember that others can lie as well.And she has a really bad habit of talking too much.She probably thinks that I never heard all the things she has spouted for the past few years. Zhang Min, we need to make a change to our timeline.Instead of tomorrow,let's start now."

Within a few minutes,Shi Ai had made a call to the one person who was Yao Yao's achilles heel and struck a deal with him. The next person to receive her call was Yao Yao's father who received an anonymous tip from Zhang Min that his daughter was involved in illegal activities. Mr yao planned to stand for the local elections this year and could not let his beloved daughter put a blemish on that. And knowing the fact that she had been taken in recently for questioning,he was worried and tried to hurry back from overseas,where he had gone for his business.

The stage was now set and only the lead actress and villian were missing. Shi Ai,then made a phone call to Yao Yao who answered on the first ring.Before Shi Ai could say a word,the best actress spoke about,"Shi Ai!How are you girl?I have been so worried for you.We'd partied together but suddenly the police had arrested us!You know my father,he grounded me so I did not even know how you ere doing?And then,when I went to school today,everybody was gossiping about how you had used drugs! I wanted to ask you but I felt so bad. And then there was the suspension notice.I am glad that someone had that turned over for you.Do you know who did that?"

Shi Ai's expression had gotten colder than the arctic as she heard Yao Yao's fake concern. Zhang Min was pretty sure that in the future, Shi Ai and Ah Hai were going to freeze anyone who dared to oppose them and gain their enmity. Shi Ai could clearly hear the slight gloating and digging for information in her voice. She cursed herself for being deaf all this while. How had she never realized this undertone in Yao Yao's voice? Had she been so desperate for a friend?

Thought Shi Ai's expression was cold, her voice was the same calm and soft voice that she usually had,"Yao Yao.I am doing fine. I am also sorry I have been busy and unable to talk to you. I know how worried you must be. I'll tell you hat,we should meet up some place for catching up. I have lots to talk about." 

Zhang Min,who was observing the chat,started to make slash motions across his neck as Shi Ai spoke making her lose her concentration. Fixing a time and place for tomorrow,Shi Ai cut off the call before she could say anything more and frowned at Zhang Min,"What were you doing just now?"Are you trying to sabotage me even before I have started?"
