Chapter 38: You Are Simply Rebelling

Thump—Wu Cheng was slapped to the ground by him. He scrambled up, clutching his bruised half-face and shouting, "You still dare to hit people? Someone come! Quickly, someone come! Call the police, help me call the police!"

"Calling the police, are we?" Chen Yu kicked him in the head. Bang... The guy's head smashed into the office desk nearby. He was sent reeling with stars in his eyes, screaming while clutching his bleeding head.

"This is rebellion, this is total rebellion! Where the hell did everyone go?"

"What is going on here?" Wu Qiang walked in hurriedly. Seeing the scene before him, his vision went dark.

"Cousin—no, President Wu, this brat is causing trouble in our company. You absolutely cannot let him off!" Seeing his cousin arrive, Wu Cheng's wailing became even more exaggerated.

"President Wu, Ye Xinyu is becoming more and more outrageous. She condones her husband causing a scene and hitting people in the company. If you don't fire her, the company is finished!" Li Li cried out, clutching her nose and mouth as blood sprayed out.

"Both of you, shut up. If you have something to say, go to the office." Wu Qiang truly did not know what to say. He looked at Wu Cheng with frustration and gave him a fierce kick: "Get out of here to the office, now!"

"Wife, wait for me a moment. I'm going to the office to reason with them," Chen Yu said.

"But..." Ye Xinyu was anxious and about to say something, but Chen Yu had already left.

"Cousin, you absolutely cannot let this brat off, and his wife too—fire them both! He hit people in our company office; do they have any regard for the law?"

In the vice president's office, Wu Cheng was screaming while clutching his bleeding head.

Li Li had gone to the hospital because Chen Yu's slap had collapsed the nose she had done; she likely wouldn't be able to come out for several days.

As for Wu Cheng, he was still foolishly bad-mouthing Chen Yu.

"Shut up!" Wu Qiang suddenly flew into a rage. He slapped Wu Cheng hard, then grabbed an ashtray from the table and smashed it indiscriminately at Wu Cheng.

Caught off guard, Wu Cheng was struck until stars danced in his eyes. He dodged while screaming, "Cousin, what are you doing? Why are you hitting me? What did I do wrong?"

Wu Qiang did not answer, only grabbing the ashtray in his hand and smashing it with all his might until Wu Cheng was too terrified to dodge, at which point he stopped.

Slap—Wu Qiang threw the ashtray in his hand heavily onto the floor, shattering it. Wu Cheng huddled in a corner, trembling, and asked cautiously, "Cousin, what is this for? The one who hit people is Chen Yu."

Wu Cheng was a good-for-nothing who had been coasting in the company by relying on Wu Qiang. Now that the former manager Wang Qi had been put away, Wu Qiang had thought to give him a hand and arrange a manager position for him, but who would have thought this scum would provoke the new president within two days of taking the job.

"Shut your mouth. This is President Chen," Wu Qiang said angrily.

"Chen? President Chen? Which President Chen?" Wu Cheng asked foolishly.

"Which President Chen do you think? How many President Chens can the company have? Look clearly, this is our company's new President Chen, our big boss."

The more Wu Qiang spoke, the angrier he became. He kicked Wu Cheng hard: "When I helped you get promoted, I told you to stay away from that vixen Li Li. You grandson just wouldn't listen to me. Get out of the company tomorrow; don't hover before my eyes anymore."

"President Chen? How is this possible? How could he be President Chen?" Wu Cheng was truly stunned. If his cousin hadn't said it himself, he would never have believed that the bum Chen Yu was their company's new president.

"Shut up, get out! Come tomorrow to process your resignation," Wu Qiang said angrily.

"Don't, Cousin! Don't fire me! President Chen, I was wrong. I didn't know you were the company's boss, otherwise, even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn't have dared to bully Supervisor Ye!" Wu Cheng finally realized the situation and cried out, begging for mercy.

But the facts were already before his eyes; no matter how much he cried, it was useless.

"President Wu, if such people continue to exist in this company, you can resign yourself," Chen Yu glanced coldly at Wu Qiang.

"Yes, yes. I will never dare to practice nepotism again. President Chen, please rest assured. Once Li Li returns, I will have her finish her handover and get out," Wu Qiang said hurriedly.

"Also, I will arrange for someone to come in later to join the company's management," Chen Yu said.

"Alright, President Chen, I understand." Wu Qiang was startled. Chen Yu was going to install his own people, but he had no choice and could only nod in agreement.

"Let's go, wife, let's go home." After coming out, Chen Yu took Ye Xinyu and left.

"Husband, how did things go? Did they ask for any compensation? Is the money we have left enough to pay them?" Ye Xinyu asked hurriedly.

"Pay money? Pay what money?" Chen Yu asked, bewildered.

"You hit people just now; won't they cause trouble for you?" Ye Xinyu said anxiously.

"Rest assured, it's fine. Besides, they were the ones who started it," Chen Yu sneered: "My wife, Chen Yu's wife, no one is allowed to bully."

"Husband, why are you different from before?" Ye Xinyu looked at Chen Yu, stunned.

"I am still the same me, I have just learned how to cherish my own wife," Chen Yu held her hand.

"Will you... leave me?" Ye Xinyu's voice trembled.

Chen Yu felt a shock in his heart. Before, he had indeed intended to leave, but now that he had figured out the matter of Li Qingwan and Zhou Lin framing him in his past life, he no longer looked forward to returning to the past.

He wanted revenge, to let that pair of adulterers die in agony, but after the revenge, how should he conduct himself? What about Ye Xinyu? Leave her? Or live a lifetime with her in the identity of this Chen Yu?

Suddenly, a sharp pain pierced Chen Yu's mind. His consciousness felt as if it were being torn apart; the original consciousness of this body seemed to be fighting for control.

"Husband, what's wrong?" Ye Xinyu said anxiously.

"I'm fine..." Chen Yu smiled with difficulty, comforting her. Suddenly, his vision went black, and he fell into a chaotic world.

In the haze, Chen Yu saw a person; this person was the owner of this body.

"Are you here to take back control?" Chen Yu asked.

"No, I am just a wisp of Soul Consciousness hidden deep in the consciousness. Actually, the day you were reborn, I should have died from alcoholism," the other Chen Yu shook his head.

"Then you are..." Chen Yu was puzzled.

"Coming to see you, to say goodbye..." The other Chen Yu smiled: "I was a tragedy from birth, abandoned by my parents, then picked up by my foster father. Even now, I don't know who my biological father is."

"After my foster father raised me, I spent my time in debauchery and squandered his family fortune. I lived a life of dissipation and did no proper work. I married a good wife but failed to give her a happy life."

"Do you finally realize it now?" Chen Yu sighed.

"Yes, but unfortunately, it's too late. I'm leaving. We are both tragedies. Since you have borrowed this body of mine, then walk the path I haven't finished and live well," the other Chen Yu murmured.

"Before, I always wanted to return to my past life, find my wife, and live happily with her, but now there is no need."

Chen Yu gave a bitter smile, then said in a deep voice: "Rest assured, from now on, I am you. I will take your body and walk the path you haven't finished."

"I will let you see the flowers bloom and fall, enjoy the glory and wealth of the world, let those around you no longer be bullied or mocked, and let you stand at the peak of the world, high above all."
