Chapter 31

"System." Yu Tang said, "Close your eyes."

system:"?"

Yu Tang raised his hand in time to cover the system's camera.

The next second, a piercing alarm sounded sharply.

The system frightened the screen and filled the screen with snowflakes. It was nervous and wanted to see it. It circled twice in Yu Tang's palm and carefully moved the camera up between his fingers.

The picture on the light screen was chaotic.

Someone shouted loudly, someone was busy making phone calls, and an ambulance drove in with its siren on and its dazzling lights on.

Ke Ming lowered his head and was lifted up by someone. His right hand was released, and a piece of sharp broken glass stained with blood fell.

His face was pale, half of his arm was covered in blood, and his left hand was hanging down at a weird angle.

"Host..." the system asked hesitantly, "Does Ke Ming want to use this method to keep Sui Si?"

The system has also learned a lot recently, and opened the "Black Lotus Guide": "Using this method can effectively increase the guilt of the other party, thereby increasing the favorability. For example, we made a mistake before..."

Yu Tang shook his head.

If you just want to force Sui Si to feel guilty by committing suicide and get Sui Si to agree to get married, you can actually use a razor blade.

But after Ke Ming tried to compare, he did not use a blade, but directly smashed a glass window.

What Ke Ming wants is not just Sui Si's guilt.

The system was stunned: "Isn't it?"

"Ke Ming is smart enough." Yu Tang said, "He understands Sui Si very well."

Of course Sui Si is not free from guilt.

He will feel guilty, blame himself, and feel sorry for the pain he has caused others. He will even feel more regretful and ashamed than the average person when encountering this kind of thing.

——But these feelings of guilt, apology and shame will not be translated into any actual actions.

He was just immersed in such a sense of guilt, and then the fact that he was "already in great pain because of this incident" became the reason for him to forgive himself.

Ke Ming knows this better than anyone else, and what he wants is not Sui Si's pain and guilt. These things cannot be spent as money, are not enough to retain Sui Si, and cannot solve any difficulties they face.

As for love, this ethereal thing, it is not stable enough, reliable enough, cannot generate benefits, and there is nothing that Ke Ming needs...

The system was puzzled: "Then what exactly does he want to do?"

"What else is worthy of him spending such a huge amount of money and doing such a cruel thing to himself?"

The system flipped through Ke Ming's settings: "His stage type is Locking in FunkDance, which requires a lot of hand movements. Once the ligaments are severed——"

"Must have severed the ligaments."

Yu Tang took a screenshot and clicked on it to look at it: "If it weren't so weird to cut his ankles to commit suicide, he would have preferred Achilles tendon."

system:"……?"

Yu Tang took two pictures of the system, cut out another light screen, and prepared it next to it.

Ke Ming thought clearly.

It's a pity that he can't dance. He will be twenty-seven soon. Even without this impact that could destroy his career and future, there is not much stage time left for him.

Instead of waiting for your physical strength and physical condition to decline little by little, and being ridiculed by countless people until you can't hold it anymore before changing careers, it is better to stay at your peak state.

The script they got only ended when the two people got married, and there was no further plot.But Yu Tang could roughly guess that even if this accident hadn't happened, in another year and a half, Ke Ming would have looked for opportunities to get injured, and would have had to say goodbye to the stage with "regret" and move in a new direction.transformation.

…What’s more, in the current situation, this opportunity is fleeting.

If it were earlier, the public opinion storm on the Internet would not have completely aroused. If it was later, the public's strong anger would be diluted by time.

Ke Ming undoubtedly wanted to save the situation, but in the current situation, there was no room for further rescue.

"We can't save it, we can only delay it and get worse."

Yu Tang said: "Ke Ming's agent resigned. The agency was involved in the new labor bill and wanted to send in an inspection team to conduct a comprehensive investigation. There is not much left to deal with him."

If Ke Ming does nothing again, after seven days pass, everything will settle and it will be too late to do anything.

But if you take the risk... maybe there will be one last chance.

The system thought hard: "So he has to go out... Is he out on parole for medical treatment so that he can go out early?"

Yu Tang: "It's not just that."

"What else?" The system couldn't think of anything else. "At this point, there are still people who believe whatever he says -"

Yu Tang touched the remote control and turned on the backup light screen.

In the scene, not long after Ke Ming was rushed to the hospital, he was accidentally stopped by gossip reporters and paparazzi.

The detention center didn't have enough escorts, so they couldn't completely disperse the crowd, so they were surrounded.

Under the lens of countless shots, Ke Ming buried his head deeply. His wrist was still wrapped in a bandage, and his voice was extremely low: "On behalf of Teacher Sui... I apologize to everyone."

…

In the detention room, Sui Si stood up suddenly and looked at the picture on the screen in disbelief.

Ke Ming told everything.

Ke Ming admitted their underground love affair over the years, and admitted that Sui Si had a fake marriage with Yu Tang in order to protect him and distract the public from his hostility.

The cold treatment Yu Tang received from Sui Si in recent years was all because Ke Ming had always been jealous of Yu Tang. It was because of him that Sui Si treated Yu Tang coldly.

Ke Ming admitted that Yu Tang had indeed only received the minimum salary as an assistant over the years, and that Yu Tang had always lived in the studio. He had always known about it, but he had never reminded Sui Si.

Ke Ming said that he had long noticed that Yu Tang's condition was abnormal and that he had known that Yu Tang needed to secretly take medicine to maintain his working condition, but he did not help because of selfishness.

Ke Ming buried his head deeply. He almost died once, as if he was completely overwhelmed by guilt. He admitted intermittently and in a low voice that he went to see Yu Tang on behalf of Sui Si because he knew that Yu Tang would be in pain when he saw him.I want to use this pain to force Yutang to remember.

When Yu Tang remembers it, he can come back to help Sui Si.

Ke Ming said that he brought the electric shock device specially.

The electric shocks Yutang received were always done by others under his instructions.

It was Ke Ming who made Qian Bin secretly embarrass Yu Tang. It was also Ke Ming who had someone buy Yu Tang a few months ago and let him go to the bar for a scandal about his chaotic private life. It was only then that Yu Tang was so stimulated that he accidentally fell into the water while getting drunk late at night...…

"When did you fall into the water late at night?" The gossip reporter's nerves were sharply stirred. "Is it the time in December last year when Yu Tang was suddenly admitted to the hospital in an emergency? Wasn't Sui Si sending him to the hospital that time?"

It's not that there was no news about that incident, it was just that Yutang was not completely ill and unable to work at that time.

Even before Yu Tang left, Sui Si Studio was still the top studio in the industry.The media and tabloids who dared to commit crimes were ruthlessly suppressed as soon as they appeared.

"You don't know?" Ke Ming was obviously a little flustered, "No, I, I'm sorry -"

He seemed to be panicked, looked back and suddenly became incoherent.

Finally, there were enough manpower to maintain order. The staff of the detention center stepped forward during the gap and forcibly separated Ke Ming from the reporters and paparazzi who still had unfinished business.

These interview videos were circulated everywhere, and the comments below turned up several pages in a blink of an eye.

At first, they were still shocked by the truth Ke Ming said, and many people condemned Ke Ming for being inhumane. However, not long after the discussion, the trend began to change.

"It's strange. What he said makes sense, but why does it sound so awkward..."

"Of course it's awkward. Ke Ming has no humanity. Does Sui Si have that? Because Ke Ming is jealous, he cold-blooded Yutang both during marriage and at work. What did Yutang do wrong?"

"Who would believe it? Ke Ming knew about Yu Tang's salary and residence. He also noticed that Yu Tang was taking medicine when he was sick. The best actor in the Sui Dynasty saw his assistant every day, but he didn't know anything about it."

"Maybe I already knew it, but I just didn't say it."

"Perhaps it was Sui Si who asked him to meet Yu Tang. Ke Ming is also a popular trafficker after all. He went out of his way to threaten people in person at the risk of being exposed. Is there something wrong with his brain?"

"The same goes for electric shock. What kind of new style of taking the blame is this? Can Ke Ming instruct the agency to allocate Sui Si's agents? Taking the blame for someone else is too blunt."

"Looking at the timeline, Ke Ming didn't respond when he was arrested, didn't respond when questioned, and the whole network didn't respond either. But not long after the news came out that Sui Si was temporarily detained by the police, Ke Ming committed suicide in the detention center.Why do you want to commit suicide? Because you want to rush out to take the blame and take all the blame on yourself, so that you can exonerate Sui Si from the new labor law case."

"I even feel a little sympathetic to Ke Ming..."

"What's the point of sympathy? He's also an accomplice, but he's just barely been brainwashed and is working for the tiger."

"Don't forget, if the psychological counselor hadn't arrived in time, Yu Tang might have been tortured to death by these two people. This is not jealousy, this is murder."

"Both of them are not good people, but Sui Si is indeed more serious. It is recommended that this kind of scum be banned directly and not be released to harm society."

The last comment received more and more likes and was soon pushed to the top of the comment section.

…

Sui Si stood in a daze.

He held the phone and scrolled down slowly and mechanically, as if he suddenly lost the ability to understand the text.

"Is this the person you like to death?"

Opposite him sat an old man with gray hair: "Did you divorce the child named Yu just because of him?"

Sui Si opened his mouth, but all the strength in his body disappeared in an instant. He looked at his grandfather in front of him and said nothing.

Just half an hour ago, the former head of the Sui family, Sui Yingshi, suddenly appeared in the detention center with Nie Chi and showed him this video and the comments below.

Tonight was supposed to be Sui Yingshi's birthday banquet, but due to some special reasons it was urgently canceled and changed to an announcement ceremony for the new heir.

Naturally, this kind of news cannot be announced to the outside world. The ceremony is only open to families of the same level and higher. Ke Ming has no way to know about it.

Sui Si held the pen, his palm was cold, and after several efforts, he slowly signed his name on the documents spread out on the table.

After signing these documents, he will no longer have anything to do with the Sui family.

"The reason why I always indulge you is because your father was supposed to take over as the head of the family, but he and your mother both died in the last electronic storm, and you are their only descendant."

Sui Yingshi looked at him, his old sharp eyes full of disappointment: "The Sui family will take responsibility for the mistakes made over the years."

"...Yes." Sui Si closed his eyes and whispered, "All the assets and shares that were deprived of me can be transferred to Yu Tang as compensation for these years -"

Sui Yingshi said: "Don't make a mistake."

Sui Si was stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Sui, you and Mr. Yu are legal spouses. When you became spouses, you only gave up your inheritance rights and were not deprived of corresponding assets and shares."

Nie Chi took the documents and said: "As of now, you still have not terminated your marriage."

"According to the rules of the Sui family," Nie Chi said, "During the marriage, if any descendant of the family completely severs the relationship, the assets and shares will automatically be inherited by the spouse."

Sui Si's breath was suffocated.

His face was pale, like a fish that was extremely deprived of oxygen: "What...what do you mean?"

Nie Chi showed him the documents: "It means that these assets and shares now belong to Mr. Yu, not you, and they cannot be used as compensation for you to him."

Sui Si sat blankly, looking at Nie Chi with wide eyes, as if he was looking at a monster.

Not... as compensation?

Where can he get money for Yu Tang?

His case is the first infringement case since the implementation of the new labor law. It serves as a warning to others and will be dealt with severely.He has nothing now. How will he come up with the compensation awarded?

The Sui family no longer cared about this matter. Sui Yingshi was helped by Nie Chi to stand up, and walked out of the detention room without looking at Sui Si who was standing there.

"Mr. Sui."

Nie Chi put the old man in the car and returned to the detention room: "There is also a recording, do you want to listen to it?"

Sui Si stood at a loss and asked in a low voice: "What recording?"

"Mr. Yu provided what Ke Ming said to him in the coffee shop when he called the police."

Nie Chi said: "We listened to the recording and conducted some investigations based on the recording... and confirmed the authenticity of the content."

Nie Chi asked: "Did you know that Mr. Yu and Ke Ming came from an orphanage?"

"That orphanage has been cooperating with the Sui family for a long time, but we recently discovered that the leadership had seriously misappropriated charity funds."

Nie Chi said: "It has been dealt with in accordance with the law. In order to fight for a reduced sentence, the dean provided us with some information."

Sui Si shook slightly.

He thought he wouldn't be more surprised by anything, but it was as if his throat was clamped by these words, and he could hardly breathe: "...What?"

Nie Chi didn't speak immediately and looked at the video that was still playing automatically on the table.

During the brief period when he was led away by the detention center staff, Ke Ming actually took the time to say a few more words.

Ke Ming was surrounded by microphones and told others that he understood Teacher Sui. Teacher Sui really didn't know this and didn't do it on purpose.

Ke Ming lowered his head and told the microphone chasing after him that he still likes Teacher Sui to this day.

Ke Ming said that he accepted all the judgments of the law against Sui Si, and as Sui Si's new legal spouse, he would never leave Sui Si, stay with Sui Si, and jointly bear all the compensation and compensation that should be made with Sui Si.

"Do you want to listen?" Nie Chi said, "Messages and recordings..."

"……Need not!"

Sui Si's eyes suddenly shrank, he took a few steps back, and said loudly: "I don't want to hear it, Xiao Ming -"

Nie Chi nodded: "It's because of Xiao Ming's innocence and kindness that he couldn't resist the reporter who had always been able to deal with it with ease. He explained everything and accidentally completely cut off your last escape route."

Sui Si's chest heaved violently, he was breathing heavily, his heart and lungs were about to explode, and he looked at Nie Chi in disbelief.

This professional manager who has always been cold and machine-like...is he mocking him?

Why did Nie Chi mock him?

Sui Si was so excited that he almost lost his mind and rushed towards Nie Chi.

"Please respect yourself." Nie Chi took half a step back. "You will have to appear in court in six days. Please remember the court date. This is very important."

Sui Si's legs felt weak, and he staggered half-kneeling on the ground, his ears buzzing.

Court appearance time...is important?

Court appearance time is of course important.

The divorce case was in front of the new labor law infringement case. If he and Ke Ming got married immediately after the divorce was decreed, all the compensation awarded after that... would be debts that the legal spouses need to bear jointly.

Even if Ke Ming regrets it in the future, he must bear these debts with him.

Sui Si lowered his head. He was startled by his unbearable thoughts. In the sharp tinnitus, deeper memories came up.

Many years ago, he once joked with Ke Ming and asked Ke Ming what kind of person he was.

That day was Ke Ming's twenty-fourth birthday. Ke Ming drank a lot of wine, his eyes were filled with water vapor, and the ends of his eyes turned red from drunkenness, but he sat far away from him.

Ke Ming looked at him with a smile and said to him, Brother, you are a person who only loves yourself.

Ke Ming said, people like you... if they want to leave you completely one day, they will have to leave you with clean hands and nothing.

There is nothing, nothing left, and I can only rely on others to support and live on.

Sui Si knew that he had drunk too much and was talking like a drunk child, so he smiled and didn't take it to heart.

At that time, the studio was prospering with Yu Tang's hard work. Sui Si was enjoying great success, with top-notch script crews taking turns, and having access to resources that would make others envious.

Sui Si couldn't help but wonder, when did Ke Ming discover this?

When Ke Ming was doing this, he was thinking "nothing, nothing left", not including that as the heir of the Sui family, as long as he figures it out one day, he can return to the Sui family and inherit a large amount of assets.And shares?

...But these are no longer important.

Sui Si raised his head in pain that almost exploded in his chest.

The ringing in his ears was so severe that it seemed like all the water had been squeezed out of his body. His throat was dry and sore, but he could still hear what Ke Ming said in the video intermittently.

Ke Ming said...are you willing to help him pay off his debt?

"I wish you a happy wedding in advance."

Nie Chi said: "These materials and recordings will be in the form of a video as the end of your wedding with Mr. Ke."

Sui Si closed his eyes. He no longer had the energy to be angry anymore. He lowered his head and leaned on the corner of the table: "Is this your revenge? You have been trapped in the studio for so long..."

"No." Nie Chi said, "This is the Sui family's arrangement."

Sui Si's eyes twitched slightly.

"Please understand the Sui family's anger."

Nie Chi bowed slightly to him: "Because of Mr. Ke Ming, the Sui family not only lost an heir, but also lost forever a very young partner with unlimited talent."

Sui Si raised his head.

He almost struggled and moved over with his arms: "Where did Yu Tang go? Didn't Yu Tang work at W&P? What happened to him again? He -"

"Mr. Yu himself is fine, but because of this stimulation, there are more unstable factors in his condition."

Nie Chi said: "According to the advice of the psychological counselor, he will leave the imperial capital forever."

"Through remote working through the Internet, he is still fully qualified to work at W&P. In fact, many of W&P's senior executives originally did not live in the Imperial City."

"Before leaving, he said goodbye to me personally."

"Unfortunately, Mr. Yu no longer wants to have anything to do with the Sui family. All assets and shares transferred to him were established at his own request and entrustment to establish a public welfare fund for student aid."

Nie Chi seemed to know what Sui Si wanted to ask: "All subsequent compensation you will give will also be included in this fund, and the Sui family will send someone to supervise it."

Nie Chi said: "Mr. Yu said that he hopes this fund can be non-discriminatory and without any inside information, and be open to anyone who has dropped out of school for some reason but still desires to study hard."

Sui Si lowered his head and remained motionless. It was dark in the detention room, and the video screen cast changing light and shadow on him.

Nie Chi left the detention room.

Sui Si started to tremble. He raised his hand with difficulty and took the phone.

In his cell phone... there are still those messages that Yu Tang sent him.

Those very trivial, microscopic messages that once made him particularly impatient - memos, and memos.Sometimes when Yu Tang couldn't be with him, he would write countless memos and was teased many times by the new assistant.

As for those photos, Sui Si never took a photo specifically with Yu Tang, but Yu Tang was always with him, and Yu Tang's shadow can be found in many photos.

Sui Si seemed to have grasped the last straw. He pressed the phone almost eagerly and opened the hidden folder skillfully. The expression that had just softened suddenly completely froze on his face.

On the screen of the mobile phone, there is only a reminder that "the file cannot be opened due to disk damage."

Sui Si didn't understand what was going on. He frantically opened one folder after another, opened his eyes as hard as he could, and rummaged through each page carefully.

He sat on the ground, tilted against the corner of the table, and kept scrolling until the battery on his phone was completely exhausted and the light on the screen dimmed.

An extremely familiar feeling suddenly enveloped him.

On the day of Ke Ming's birthday, he stood in front of the window, feeling as if something had been silently taken away from his body.

The feeling that time was very weak, it just made people feel relaxed and inexplicably empty.This time, it was as if the person had been completely and completely emptied out. All the emotions and memories, all and the only thing left for him——

Sui Si's eyes widened, he couldn't scream, and held his head in despair and silently.

He still remembers Yu Tang, there is no way he could forget Yu Tang.

But no matter how hard he tried to recall and how he searched every corner of his mind, he couldn't remember what Yu Tang looked like.

Public bathhouse.

"Once the card is obtained, it can be used in all leisure clubs provided by Chuan Bookstore for employees."

The staff member took the black gold membership card and handed it to Yu Tang with both hands: "According to your request, all the positive emotions related to you of the target person have been extracted. The balance in the card is 100 points."

Yu Tang thanked him, took it and put it away in the system.

He was originally supposed to stay in this book for a while, waiting until the protagonist formally received the marriage certificate and entered the marriage hall together, but he happened to receive a notice that there was a plot line fluctuation warning in the second book.

His name is Luo Ran in the second book. He has a cool name and an exciting career. He is a professional "storm chaser".

Amateur storm chasers capture extreme weather phenomena such as tornadoes, hail, and lightning. They will enter the center of the storm and use their cameras to record the most shocking natural scenes.

Luo Ran settled in Star City and had his own scientific research work. After work, he would drive to various parts of the alliance to chase extreme weather according to global weather forecasts.

He loves excitement and adventure by nature, and will travel through storms chasing a bolt of lightning that penetrates the clouds. He is a long-term contributor to the league's top photography journals.

The protagonist of this book is the youngest head of the Alliance's scientific research institute at Star City Research Institute where Luo Ran works.

This time, he realized that the protagonist wanted to imprison him, so he found an excuse in advance and escaped.

Yu Tang actually wanted to go see the kind-hearted dolphins in the first book, but the plot line was very important and he had to go back as soon as possible. The blackened protagonist was imprisoned in a new 1,000-square-meter manor.

Yu Tang seized the time, took a quick bath in the hot spring, completely relaxed and had a good sleep, and pulled out the system in high spirits: "Okay, let's go."

The system flashed a small red light.

Yu Tang closed his eyes.

…

After a few seconds, Yu Tang opened his eyes: "The transmission can begin."

"……Host."

The system hesitated all night about how to tell him, holding the bubble gum and lacking confidence: "Because Luo Ran has not appeared in the book for a long time, it was cleared as redundant stored data..."

Yu Tang: "...?"

The system carefully rubbed his shoulder.

"Can't I get another one?"

Yu Tang has never encountered this situation before: "As long as there is initial data——"

System: "The initial data has also been cleaned."

Yu Tang: "..."

"But we still have a way!" The system flashed a small red light, "The host's body data in this world is still there. We can slightly modify it and find a way to go directly..."

After all, the four books are in the same world. If you want to go to another book, there is more than just data import.

Yu Tang vaguely felt something was wrong: "What else can I do?"

The system flew in front of him, leading him out of the employee leisure club and out of the public bathhouse that served as a cover.

Yu Tang stood at the street corner, silently catching the keys that fell out of thin air, and looked at the off-road vehicle in front of him.

Yu Tang: "...system."

"Here." The system asked happily, "Host, what's wrong?"

Yu Tang was in a complicated mood. He opened the car door, got in, inserted the key, and turned the wheel of the off-road vehicle that was incompatible with the surrounding environment.

He still remembered the fiery red SUV.

Luo Ran's favorite car, Luo Ran drove it to chase the hurricane through the canyons with broken earth veins. The storm roared on the roof of the car and almost blew the entire car away.

An arrogant car, a passionate and free person.

"Come up." Yu Tang said, "Sit tight."

The system flew to his shoulders and grabbed Yu Tang's clothes tightly.

"Ask first."

Yu Tang's right foot was hanging on the accelerator: "When I come back to attend Sui Si's wedding, do I have to drive this car back?"

The system hadn't considered this question yet, so it hesitated when he asked it and flashed its light: "We can buy a first-class plane ticket..."

Yu Tang pressed his forehead.

Originally, he only used his mental body to travel through the four books, but he didn't have such a clear feeling. Now that he was rushing through it, he finally realized one thing clearly.

These four books are in a world view.

"system."

Yu Tang called it: "Confirm again, the protagonists of these four books will not meet each other, right?"

The system is full of confidence: "Don't worry, host, it will never happen, we are all trained!"

Yu Tang nodded.

The off-road vehicle roared across the asphalt road, maneuvered through the alleys under the astonished gazes of pedestrians, drove onto the wide main road, and drove towards the cross-city expressway.

The scenery quickly recedes on both sides.

Yu Tang opened the window slightly, and the wind poured in through the cracks in the window, whistling past his ears, making it difficult to hear any other sounds.

Yu Tang sighed and closed the car window.

The system managed to avoid being blown away and hung on the back seat: "Host, host, what's wrong?"

"Am I wearing a book?"

Yu Tang put on his sunglasses and turned on the rock CD in the car: "I'm on a business trip."
