Ling Qi knew that with Ruan Zeyan's presence there, she absolutely could not admit that she was in the vicinity because she had participated in the plan to sully Ling Tianya. The only thing she could do was to push all the blame onto Li Chenfeng and Zhang Li. She had agreed to give them money after the whole plan had succeeded, so they would agree to help her for that money.
Hearing Ling Qi's words of betrayal, Zhang Li was about to rebut her, but was stopped by Li Chenfeng. Ling Qi had initially agreed to give them ten million dollars after the plan succeeds. By then, if Li Chenfeng had married Ling Tianya, he could gain another ten million dollars. Seeing how the situation had gone it was impossible to marry Ling Tianya, but that ten million dollars had to enter their pockets.
