Chapter 133 The Bet Between Two Women
Seeing the smile appear on "her" face filled Eri with an indescribable, strange feeling.
It's like seeing yourself in the mirror suddenly come to life and start smiling at yourself.
"Miss Fei, why don't you continue guessing?"
Vermouth is imitating Eri's voice perfectly; every word sounds like she's practiced it a thousand times from a recording.
"What else do I want to do after I get close to him?"
"Do you intend to hurt him?" Eri asked, her face grim.
"It's not that bad. We broke up amicably. I'm not that heartless."
Vermouth gently shook her head, propped her cheek on one hand, and looked at Eri with a smile in her watery green eyes, her face practically saying "Keep guessing."
"and you……"
Eri Kisaki suddenly seemed to remember something, her face turning pale. She spoke tremblingly...
"Do you intend to use my face to stay by Shuichi's side indefinitely?"
"Feed? How could you even think of that?" Vermouth laughed heartily. "Don't worry, even if I were to take him from you, I would do it in my own disguise."
"Then what exactly do you want to do?" Eri Kisaki shouted in exasperation.
"Well then, Attorney Fei, how about we make a bet?"
Vermouth suddenly stopped smiling, and she spoke slowly and seriously.
"I'll go to him with your face. If he can recognize me as an imposter, I'll let you go. If he can't, then..."
"So, what do you say?"
Eri Kisaki was a little nervous. This woman was acting mysteriously. Could it be that she was going to... kill her?
"Don't worry, I promised someone I would never hurt you," Vermouth chuckled. "If he doesn't recognize you, I'll let you go, but you must leave him."
"So? Do you dare to take this bet with me?"
"Why should I make a bet with you?" Eri Kisaki scoffed. "You've already said you wouldn't hurt me, so what do I have to be afraid of?"
"What? You have so little confidence in your place in his heart?" Vermouth provoked. "You were able to discover I was an imposter so quickly, don't you want to see if he can do the same thing as you?"
"Logically speaking, since you two are childhood sweethearts, you should have been able to spot the flaws in my impersonation of Lin Xiuyi immediately."
"Then he should be able to notice very quickly that I'm impersonating Eri Kisaki."
"Unless, he never cared about you at all."
Vermouth suddenly leaned down and whispered in Eri's ear.
"The reason he rushed back to Japan was only for your daughter, and it has nothing to do with you."
"You! You monster..." Eri Kisaki gritted her teeth and roared.
Seeing the female lawyer's gritted teeth, Vermouth laughed gleefully.
Although she had broken up with Lin Xiuyi before, if she were to remain indifferent and watch her rival live a happy life with the man she loved, she wouldn't be called a witch.
Vermouth's purpose in making this bet was simple: if Hayashi Shuichi could also quickly see through her impersonation of Eri Kisaki,
For Eri Kisaki, everything was naturally good, and it also made her understand her position in Hideaki Hayashi's heart.
If that's the case, then even if Vermouth loses, she will lose willingly.
But what if Lin Xiuyi makes a mistake and doesn't recognize it?
For Eri Kisaki, that became a lifelong inner demon.
In that case, even if Vermouth leaves, Eri Kisaki won't be able to be with Shuichi Hayashi with a clear conscience.
The female lawyer was also an exceptionally intelligent person, and naturally she immediately realized Vermouth's trap.
Moreover, she has already stated her position, so even if Eri doesn't agree to the bet, she will still have to face the consequences of the bet.
"I bet you!" Eri Kisaki huffed defiantly, "Shuichi will immediately realize you're an imposter!"
"Really? Then we'll wait and see?"
Vermouth chuckled, took out a listening device, clipped a small microphone behind her collar, placed the listening device in front of Eri, and considerately put headphones on her to ensure that Eri could hear the live broadcast in its original form.
They then taped the female lawyer's mouth shut and tied her to a chair with a rope to prevent Eri from running around.
After doing all that, Vermouth checked the time; there were only a few minutes left until midnight.
"The real show is about to begin..."
Leaving those words behind, Vermouth, disguised as Eri Kisaki, turned and walked out of room 301.
Before leaving, she made sure to turn off the lights in the room.
"I hope you get a good night's sleep, Attorney Fei."
As Vermouth slowly closed the door, the room gradually fell into darkness. Eri sat alone in the dark room, her heart pounding with anxiety, waiting for the sound that was about to come through her earphones.
……
Lin Xiuyi arrived at the Mihua Hotel at the agreed time.
Just before entering, he subtly made a hand gesture, and Li Long and the others who were monitoring the situation nearby immediately began to carefully search the surroundings.
Their mission was to determine if there were any of the other party's accomplices around the Mihua Hotel.
Although the four bodyguards were somewhat uneasy about letting Lin Xiuyi face the robbers alone, they had no choice now that the situation had become like this.
After instructing his men to ascertain any potential reinforcements the enemy might have outside, Lin Xiuyi slowly walked into the Mihua Hotel.
Instead of taking the elevator, he went up the stairs to the third floor.
After walking down a short corridor, Lin Xiuyi arrived at the door of room 302. Just as she raised her hand to knock, the door suddenly opened by itself, and a person bumped into Lin Xiuyi's arms.
"Eri?"
"Shuichi?"
Both of them exclaimed in surprise. Then, Eri Kisaki hugged Hideaki tightly, refusing to let go, and sobbed, "..."
"Shuichi, I was really scared just now. Someone was able to impersonate you and look exactly like you..."
"...It's alright now, don't be afraid."
Lin Xiuyi frowned slightly and softly comforted him.
"I'm here now, everything's alright."
……
In room 301, Eri Kisaki's face first showed surprise when she heard that Shuichi Hayashi had arrived, but then she heard her own voice through her earphones.
The surprise just now instantly turned into panic.
"Shuichi, recognize her! She's not me!"
Eri prayed silently, but the noise she heard next made her heart sink.
Lin Xiuyi not only failed to recognize that it was an imposter, but also gently comforted the woman.
