Chapter 303: Chapter 303: You Should Just Abandon Him

Sheng Shuai saw through Ye Shu’s thoughts in a glance and timely said, "My Little Village Flower, you absolutely mustn’t think of ’surrendering yourself.’ Even though that patriarch of yours didn’t arrive at the scene the moment your accident happened, I understand men better than you. If you showed up, he would definitely not stand by idly. By then, the impact on the Sheng Family would be even greater."

As Sheng Shuai spoke, he stuffed a piece of donkey meat into his mouth, chewing and continuing his analysis, "Don’t assume that there wouldn’t be such a big impact if you hadn’t run with me. If you hadn’t run, that patriarch of yours would turn Jin City upside down to protect you, and the situation would be even worse. Actually, to put it plainly, in the case of Ye Shengli’s fall from the building, whether you ran or not, the other party had you pegged all along. It’s just that, by comparison, it’s still most cost-effective to lay low for a while. At the very least, you won’t be pushed in front of everyone and subjected to public humiliation and scolding. Little Village Flower, oh Little Village Flower, who exactly did you offend?"

"Offended someone?" Ye Shu said, slowly calming down after hearing Sheng Shuai, "I never go out of my way to provoke anyone, nor do I do bad deeds that are harmful to others for my own gain. If you say I’ve offended anyone, it could only be Ye Xinyu, and also, the Han Family."

Sheng Shuai crossed his arms and paced back and forth, creating the illusion that he had transformed from an amusing character into a sage, "Looking at the progression of the entire incident, it’s clear that there’s someone with a powerful hand behind the scenes. As soon as you got into trouble, they pushed you to the pinnacle of public opinion at the first opportunity, making you subject to the scorn of millions, leaving you no time to think, and catching you completely off guard! This sort of daring, it’s impossible for Ye Xinyu, and besides, she wouldn’t likely be prepared to use Ye Shengli’s death beforehand. The Han Family is far away in Han City, too distant to reach. The only possibility is..."

"You mean... Ye Shengli?" Ye Shu’s brows furrowed deeply, "I remember now. When I saw Ye Shengli, I noticed that his facial expression was distorted, and his temperament had drastically changed, as if he was desperately trying to drag me down with him. Could it be that he knew his influence was gone and used his own death to give his daughter one last advantage?"

"Alright, my adorable Little Village Flower, don’t strain your brain overthinking this. That kind of mental labor is better left for me," Sheng Shuai said, reaching out and touching Ye Shu’s head, "But on the other hand, you and that patriarch of yours are really incompatible. It’s so easy to make others envious and hateful. You better switch to me quickly; otherwise, you won’t even know how you died."

As they were speaking, suddenly, a strange noise erupted, sounding like the sound of a building collapsing!

"What was that noise?" Ye Shu asked, puzzled.

Sheng Shuai immediately took out his cell phone, brought up several surveillance feeds set up around Wangyou Valley, and watched the screens. He leaped to his feet and exclaimed, "How is that possible? The suspension bridge was recently built at great expense by the local villagers to mirror the style in the game; how could it have broken?"

Ye Shu blinked and said, "So it broke. Does it really need to cause such a fuss?"

"Little Village Flower, you say it so lightly. Do you remember the Feiyun Bridge from the game Wangyou Valley?"

"Of course, I remember. What about it?" Ye Shu was still clueless.

"That was where we first met! I was clearly called Handsome B, yet you, blind as a bat, yelled, ’Hey, wait a second, you fool~B!’"

Ye Shu couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this, "Actually, I didn’t mean to insult you; I was using the pinyin input method. It’s all ’SB,’ right? I remember later, you carved the words ’SB loves Ye Village Beauty’ on the Feiyun Bridge with a sword. Thinking back on it now, it seems so childish. You didn’t carve the same words on that suspension bridge as well, did you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Shu seemed to suddenly realize something and turned to run downstairs...
