Chapter 150: Place

~8 min read 1,552 words

【Right now netizens are trampling Li Jinyu to death and reporting her to prison. When they find out they've become the knives in the Ji Family and Qi family's hands, public opinion will backlash. No matter how Ji Xiaoling tries to whitewash it, she won't be able to clean it up. Also, regarding Ji Xiaoling's matter, comments are being deleted and accounts are being banned online. The internet has no memory, but banned accounts leave a deep impression.】

Wulongcha suspected the funds for hiring a PR team had been embezzled. What decent PR team would use such aggressive and obvious tactics? Modern netizens don't fall for that at all!

【Why did the Qi family get involved? To clean up after Qi Yinghao? Don't tell me he also secretly did something underhanded to frame Ji Xiaoling?】

【Not that. The Qi family didn't want to offend the Ji Family. A disgraced female star headed to prison versus a disgraced young lady with a powerful backer—the Qi family of course chose the latter.】

【Qi Yinghao agreed?】

【Yes!】

Su Yu thought, since Qi Yinghao wasn't the blind lapdog type like Qin Yuanjun, then he was a selectively blind vicious wolf.

Wulongcha remembered that Su Yu couldn't see Hot Search, 【Qi Yinghao even posted a message about marrying Li Jinyu before the Ji Family made their move.】

【Pretending to be innocent or deeply devoted? Isn't he afraid of it backfiring?】

【He lost control a long time ago. After Li Jinyu's matter was exposed, Ji Xiaoling and the others became dissatisfied with this marriage. The Qi family started scheming when things blew up yesterday. They knew the Ji Family's movements and did it on purpose. Qi Yinghao pretended to be deeply devoted, and the Qi family cooperated with the Ji Family's moves. Even if the marriage fell through, Qi Yinghao would just be a pitiful man kept in the dark by a scheming woman.】

【Tsk! The Qi family sure can scheme!】

After several public opinion battles, the scumbag Qi Yinghao actually became the ultimate winner, earning the title of love saint.

【Their scheming will come to nothing!】

【Not bad, Wulongcha, your speed at digging up this information is getting faster and faster!】

【After the Host has money and draws more cards, I can level up even faster!】

Actually, yesterday Wulongcha had watched the money slip away right before its eyes, so it was in a bad mood and wanted to see others suffer misfortune. After watching, it did indeed feel much better. The human world was too complicated; Ji Yan was still better off alive right now. It couldn't guarantee that Ji Yan wouldn't be killed after returning to the Ji Family.

Mentioning money, Su Yu sighed.

"What are you doing? Spacing out and sighing?"

Ye Shu felt he was the one who should be sighing the most. The father-daughter pair—one reviewing documents and the other spacing out—neither cared about the life or death of him, a miserable creature in a bad mood.

"Uncle, I was just thinking about how you got kidnapped right after your wedding. Going out on the first day of marriage—aren't you afraid of getting bagged again?"

Su Yu felt that compared to the groom running away on the wedding day versus running away on the first day after the wedding, the latter was far more damaging and insulting.

"Do you think I'm not angry enough?"

Truly bringing up the one topic that shouldn't be touched!

"I'm just telling the truth!"

"I'll go make a phone call first!"

Ye Shu hurriedly called his wife to report his whereabouts, emphasizing his innocence. He absolutely would not run away. If he didn't come home, someone must be trying to harm him!

After finishing the call, Ye Shu went back and sat down, still holding in his frustration.

"Do you know who kidnapped me?"

Su Yu shook her head, "I don't know."

"It was that bastard Lu Zhongda! He used Xu Junqian!"

"What about Xu Jun? Did you send her to prison?"

Ye Shu slumped on the sofa, "Can't send her. She's in the intensive care unit. From now on, staying alive will depend on medical equipment. When the Xu family arrived at the hospital, they made it clear they weren't willing to pay her medical bills and were making a scene demanding the Lu family pay!"

"Why would the Lu family pay? Did they know everything Xu Jun did was Lu Zhongda's scheme?"

Ye Shu wagged his index finger, "No, no, no. It's because Xu Jun played the recording of Lu Zhongda promising to marry her and make her the Lu family's mistress for the Xu family to hear. She probably wanted to show off at the time, but now it's her lifeline."

Ye Shu and Xie Xin Yi weren't generous enough to help a woman who tried to ruin their wedding stay alive. They had her sent to the hospital at the time only because someone dying at the wedding would be too unlucky!

"She's quite smart then."

【Without that recording, she'd probably have been abandoned by the Xu family!】

"She's stupid beyond belief!"

Since it was rare for Su Yu not to know, Ye Shu sat up straight and explained to Su Yu, "Neither the Xu family nor the Lu family are any good. The Xu family doesn't want to save Xu Jun but still wants to use her to squeeze money out of the Lu family. The Xu family gave two options. The first is a buyout: the Lu family pays, and the Xu family handles Xu Jun's follow-up treatment. The second is monthly medical fee payments until Xu Jun is discharged: the Lu family pays, and the Xu family handles Xu Jun's follow-up treatment."

"With the second option, Xu Jun can live. But the Lu family will likely choose the first, or even if they choose the second, Lu Zhongda will hint to Xu Jun to die."

Women in love are sometimes shrewd and sometimes foolish. Especially someone like Xu Jun who had lost her confidence. If Lu Zhongda had someone subtly hint at it, she might fall into depression and commit suicide.

Ye Shu didn't believe for a second that Lu Zhongda would choose the second option.

"He's ruthless and will definitely choose to let the barely conscious Xu Jun die directly. The second option would let Xu Jun live at least a month longer, which is too risky for him. The Xu family will protect Xu Jun as their cash cow."

A leek that could be harvested every month—the Xu family would certainly keep a close watch on her. And the poison Lu Zhongda had given Xu Jun was one hundred percent incurable by modern medicine—how could he possibly be willing to let her live!

Su Yu looked at Ye Shu curiously, "At the wedding, what did he plan to do to you?"

"Heh! That trash planned to send me somewhere far away to make the runaway groom story real, just to disgust people!"

Ye Shu glanced at Su Xi, not daring to tell Su Yu the truth. That bastard Lu Zhongda actually wanted to send him into the Duck Club! He had looked into it—people there couldn't buy their freedom or even contact the outside world. Only if someone from the outside found him could they go in and rescue him. By then, it would be too late!

Not only would he lose his wife, he'd be mocked by people in the circle for the rest of his life!

Yesterday Ye Shu had unilaterally discussed this matter with Xie Xin Yi—mainly Ye Shu talking while Xie Xin Yi listened.

Ye Shu suspected Lu Zhongda had been there many times and had a good relationship with the people there. Otherwise, how could he send him in and guarantee he couldn't get out?

"He really isn't afraid of my Ye family's revenge!"

Su Yu lost interest hearing this. Boring—what could Ye Shu, someone who didn't hold real power in the company, possibly retaliate with?

Su Yu continued flipping through her proposal, adjusting the surveillance camera positions in the design plans provided by the project team according to Wulongcha's suggestions.

In an all-female area, surveillance cameras were a very important line of defense. She also planned to do a move-in livestream after the house was delivered and all metrics met standards, to evaluate the house's condition for everyone.

Once Su Yu got busy, she naturally forgot about Ye Shu sitting nearby.

Ye Shu was still waiting for Su Yu to ask about his revenge plan! He waited ten minutes and confirmed Su Yu wasn't deliberately ignoring him, "Are you two going to ignore me?"

Ye Shu looked at Su Yu, then at Su Xi. At least one person should acknowledge him—even an 'mm' would do! Otherwise, talking to himself would make him look like a lunatic, wouldn't it?

Su Xi put down his pen, "If you're really bored, I'll recommend two good places for you to go. They'll definitely make you feel refreshed."

"What good places? As long as it's safe, I can go anywhere!"

Ye Shu didn't want to shamelessly come here either, but he didn't have anywhere with better value for money.

Don't worry, those two places should be quite safe!

Then hurry up and say it!

Good night, babies~
