Chapter 305: Chapter 220: Cut the Weeds and Eliminate the Roots!

Ye Zhang was stunned, then got angry, "What do you mean by this?"

Sui Yi lightly tilted his head, his tone indifferent, "Just a few months ago, Seventh Uncle had already erased both of your names from the Ye family’s genealogy... It was only kept secret for fear of upsetting the two of you, with only grandmother being aware."

Seventh Uncle, Seventh Uncle! It was that old man! That old woman knew too! No wonder her attitude became so buoyant later on, as if she wasn’t angry or anxious at all!

That was his mother! How could she be so cruel...

Ye Zhang was secretly filled with resentment.

"Sui Yi, your lie is really interesting, has Seventh Uncle become senile? We are the last descendants of the Ye family, if we two are erased, then the Ye family will end its lineage!" Huah Jue was very cunning and immediately thought of the loophole.

"Lineage?" Sui Yi glanced at his wristwatch and said indifferently, "Do you know why Aunt and Grandmother didn’t come today? Because at this Shichen, a ritual is taking place inside the Ye family ancestral hall. Aunt’s son will have the rites of lineage continued in him by Seventh Uncle’s son, who has the acting authority of Clan Leader. From now on, the Ye family has only one child, and after your deaths, you cannot enter the Ye family ancestral shrine, you will not be buried in your homeland, including your children, all have been removed from the genealogy..."

If the crowd didn’t understand all this talk about graves, they surely did now.

Especially some of the elders, who were dumbfounded. Expulsion from the genealogy, cutting off the lineage, that was the cruelest move! And it included erasing the names of the children as well!

Truly damn cruel!

This was cutting off all future retreats!

Even someone as treacherous and unfilial as Huah Jue felt pain and disbelief.

She could be so cruel! And Seventh Uncle... and his son... it was Ye Luanyun!

That bastard! He wasn’t dead!

Huah Jue actually thought his future was bright because the ancestral generations of the Ye family had all died out, and as the eldest son, he was the only head of the Ye family. Everything of the Ye family would belong to him, including those secrets. Even his change-averse mother would have to soften for the sake of the Ye family’s lineage, so all he needed to do was remove the stumbling block that was Sui Yi, but...

She struck too quickly, too cruelly!

She was cutting the ground from under him, exterminating him without mercy!

In the midst of shock, suddenly a group of people burst from the crowd of onlookers.

Cameras, microphones, a beautiful and agile girl passed a microphone forward, squeezing past several police officers, and asked loudly, "Mr. Huah Jue, we have just received news that you have ties with drug dealers and that you take drugs. Is this true?"

Fuck! Huah Jue’s facial muscles twitched.

The media had arrived! Even as the police officers chided them, the swarm of media continued to press forward, asking loudly.

"Please tell us, Mr. Huah Jue, after marrying into the family and changing your last name, you abandoned your former girlfriend and are suspected of murder, is that true?"

"Please tell us, Mr. Huah Jue..."

"Please tell us, police officers, have you already obtained conclusive evidence..."

Let me tell you, the most domineering and also the most dangerous power in this world doesn’t come from the hand, but from the mouth.

One rumor can change many things, create many legends, a camera, a journalist, can create a world.

A world that permeates everywhere.

Huah Jue’s face turned green, with a grim face, he said loudly, "Sorry, I didn’t, this is all a misunderstanding, I trust that the law will give me justice, the police will clear my name..."

"But what about the witness who accused you, please tell us..."

"No, no, that’s defamation!"

He tried to remain calm, but his irritation, the dryness in his mouth, the discomfort in his body still made his expression increasingly hideous...

Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at Sui Yi...

Her lips were moving.

"I don’t like waiting for the future, so Huah Jue... the game is over."

Everyone saw Sui Yi, standing a few steps away from Huah Jue on the outskirts of the media crowd, tilt the cup in her hand... her hand sweeping...

The tea slowly spilled onto the ground.

Like a ritual.

Complete silence.

After the empty cup, she slightly raised the glass toward the sky, her voice cool, like the wind through willows, a breeze under the autumn moon.

"To those who died or suffered because of you..."

Huah Jue’s heart chilled, and then...

"Ugh!"

Suddenly, everyone saw Huah Jue convulsing, collapsing to the ground in a terrifying pose, hands clenched, face pale, eyes rolling back, foaming at the mouth...

The convulsions were clearly...

"He’s having a drug fit!"

"My God, he’s on drugs!"

"It’s a drug fit!"

There was an uproar! Even Lin Quan and the others were shocked, thinking, is this the most honest criminal? You don’t need to interrogate him, he’s confessed halfway through?

Alright, at least with drug use, at least half of his suspicions are definitely inescapable!

In the chaos, cameras flashed continuously, the journalists, as if injected with chicken blood, took a massive amount of photos of Huah Jue, with the police trying to stop their madness...

Ye Zhang stood there agape, and then, he felt a chill run through his body as he saw the look Sui Yi gave him... his legs went weak.

Did she orchestrate all of this? Was everything designed? Otherwise, how would she know so much?

But Sui Yi didn’t even glance at Huah Jue on the ground; instead, she turned and walked into the house. Shortly after, Lin Yun came out.

Approaching the bold female journalist who had just charged forward, she glanced at her press badge. Jiang Rengui?

It seemed the female reporter had been waiting already and turned her head to look.

Their gazes met, flashing briefly.

Lin Yun spoke with poised elegance and calm assertion, "Our boss just said that today, on our store’s grand opening day, one-third of all sales revenue will be donated to console the families harmed by those two people."

One-third!

The journalists looked at the scale of the shop, thinking that nothing here would go for less than several million considering those supercars at the entrance; the items inside must be very expensive, so...

"Are you talking about one-third of the sales revenue? Not the profits?" Xue Rengui’s question was very pointed.

"Yes, one-third of the sales revenue."

"May I ask if your boss made this decision due to a sense of guilt over a familial relationship with these two individuals, hence making amends?"

This question was also quite sharp and could potentially drag Sui Yi down into this abyss too.

Lin Yun offered a faint smile, "I believe there’s only one answer our boss would have to your question."

"What answer?"

"Those two individuals are not worthy enough for her to pay for their mistakes. As for why she’s donating the money, there is only one purpose."

"What purpose?" Xue Rengui’s gaze was piercing.

Everyone perked up their ears; truth be told, anyone clever enough present could guess some trickery, like how Sui Yi had remained composed from the start, as if everything was within her control...

But then, they thought it seemed too terrifying.

However, very soon...

"Advertising."

When this short phrase burst from Lin Yun’s lips, everyone was stunned.

Xue Rengui and the other media personnel were speechless.

Wow, this answer was just... unprecedentedly honest.

Why did it feel so startling!

Lin Yun, however, smiled, recalling the breezy words from Sui Yi earlier and mimicked her emphasis, noting it seemed quite effective.

"Miss Lin, are those your words or did your boss say them? Aren’t you afraid of getting fired?"

"Of course, those were the boss’s words."

"Hehe~~ that’s interesting, just for advertising, it doesn’t count as charity, does it? Others might not appreciate your boss..."

"I must disagree with you on that. Is ’charity’ a verb or a noun?" Lin Yun said with a gentle smile, her lovely face exceptionally beautiful on camera, her eyes smiling tenderly, "Think about it, does it count as charity? Or is it charity only when acted upon? Or does it have to be both thought and action combined? Also, our boss mentioned that she doesn’t need anyone’s gratitude. The money she spends is for advertising, unrelated to other matters, and certainly, to ensure the advertising effect, she hopes that all members of the media will strictly monitor our sales records today and are welcome to observe how we truly donate this money to those families in the future..."

So honest, really, just so damn honest!

Who in the business or sales industry would tell the journalists something like this and so eagerly invite them to oversee...

It felt as if a paparazzo had been discovered by the celebrity they were following, only for the star to invite the paparazzo in enthusiastically for a closer shoot...

So unbelievably fantastical!

Yet the media could not have asked for more!

Especially Xue Rengui, who without a second word, gestured with his eyes, and the photographer immediately pointed the camera at the moderately sized but somewhat elegant signboard.

-- Sui Tang Square.

On the side, onlookers buzzed like boiling water, and people on the streets were like chickens with their blood drawn, swarming towards Sui Tang Square. This shop was too controversial; it was a must-see...

The wealthy youngsters quieted down, from start to finish, they had only one feeling towards Sui Yi.

-- Cool!

So cool! Whether in style, attitude, or capability, she was incredibly cool!

Amidst laughter, like ashes and smoke scattered by the wind!

She hardly even smiled!

Too cool!

In the eyes of Wei Feng and his companions, the result could be summed up in one word.

-- Brilliant!

Decisive action from the get-go!

Who could have anticipated she would unleash all of this at her own opening ceremony? Is it a desperate act or a fight for survival?

An utter rout?

"It seems that Third Master Yun has come up short this time," Wei Feng’s remark did not make Yun Li feel any warier; instead, he simply smiled lightly, "I don’t quite understand what Mr. Wei means."

"It doesn’t matter whether I understand... it’s most important whether she knows," Wei Feng said with a light smile, turning to walk into the store.

Yun Li’s face darkened in an instant; he had underestimated Sui Yi.

------

Regardless of the reactions outside or inside the store, Sui Yi had already entered the inner hall beneath the complex gazes of Qi Yanran and others and took a phone call.

She knew the call came from some remote village. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
