CH 18

Wang Ruoyan had not seen Sheng Zhiming in a long time, and neither had Sheng Zhiming ever looked for her. She did call him a few times, but unfortunately, she would be hung up after a few words on the phone. She wanted to see him, and because of each other’s work schedule, they happen to miss each other.

This state makes Wang Ruoyan worry. She always feels that something that belongs to her is slowly disappearing.

On this day, she finally couldn’t help but went to Shengshi Entertainment to find Sheng Zhiming.

She understands that he is sad because of Ye Wei’s death, but one can’t just indulge in the past, they also need to look forward.

Zhao Peng was a little surprised because of Wang Ruoyan’s sudden visit. He led Wang Ruoyan to the reception room to wait: “President Sheng has something to do, you can wait a moment.”

Wang Ruoyan smiled and said, “It’s okay, but I didn’t make an appointment in advance and came suddenly, so excuse my intrusion.”

As the assistant to the general manager, Zhao Peng had a lot of work for him. After setting down Wang Ruoyan, he immediately left. After waiting for about ten minutes, Wang Ruoyan finally saw the door of Sheng Zhiming’s office open. Coming from inside was Ye Wei’s agent Liu Jia?

Why is she here?

Wang Ruoyan stood up and walked up involuntarily: “Liu Jia jie, how are you doing recently? I’m very sorry about Ye Wei’s affairs. Please get well soon.”

Liu Jia looked at Wang Ruoyan coldly. She doesn’t like Wang Ruoyan. She didn’t like Wang Ruoyan in the beginning, and even more doesn’t like her now. She lightly glanced at her, without a word, quickly walked away in her high heels.

Wang Ruoyan didn’t expect to be so ignored. She thought Liu Jia would scold her to relieve her hatred but unfortunately she didn’t. She left without even saying a word, leaving her quite surprised. For a while, she dazely watched Liu Jia walk away.

Zhao Peng came over and led her into Sheng Zhiming’s office.

The man stood in front of the window, with a cigarette between his fingers. His thoughts, unreadable.

Wang Ruoyan, seeing Sheng Zhiming look this like, the feeling that she was about to lose something became even more prominent, which made her panic for a second.

She nonchalantly walked over: “Zhiming, what are you thinking about? I saw Liu Jia just now. Did she come to you because of Ye Wei?”

Sheng Zhiming did not answer, “What is it that you came to see me?”

Wang Ruoyan froze and shook her head: “My work just happens to be nearby, so I came to see you.”

Sheng Zhiming nodded absent-mindedly, his mind wandered elsewhere again.

Wang Ruoyan took the initiative to look for topics several times to improve the atmosphere, but unfortunately Sheng Zhiming barely gives faint replies, making her more and more embarrassed.

Sheng Zhiming also doesn’t know why but he always had this strange feeling deep inside him. He felt that he should like Wang Ruoyan, but he also felt that he does not like her.

He thought of Ye Wei falling in front of his eyes again.

Since Ye Wei’s death, he has countlessly recalled the same scene over and over again. He recalled Ye Wei’s thin body struggling in the dark. He recalled her shock and anxious eye when she looked over at him. He recalled her pale and beautiful face. He recalled her disappearing in the dark. And even more, recalled the moment of tranquility on her face when she was dying…

He had regretted it countless times. If he had found her earlier, if he could save her, if he didn’t turn a blind eye to what happened to her, and if he had said a word, she wouldn’t have been oppressed so miserably and be reduced under some Su Chen, who is not even at the 18th line, and become her supporting lead in a lowly web drama.

If none of this had happened, Su Chen would not have a chance to approach Ye Wei then Ye Wei would not be calculated. And hence, she would have not died.

Although he was not the murderer who killed Ye Wei, but he was an accomplice who had indirectly killed Ye Wei!

It was his neglectance that killed Ye Wei.

Ye Wei is right, he is the most dangerous existence.

In fact, it is ridiculous. Ye Wei was kidnapped and almost killed because of his implication. Otherwise, how could Ye Wei, such an insignificant person, face such danger? He not only did not feel sorry for implicating her or did not comfort her, instead he let her be bullied to death!

Sheng Zhiming felt regret for the first time.

This is the first regret in his life. He shouldn’t have let her fend for herself under so many oppressions.

Unfortunately even if he regrets it, it is useless.

Ye Wei is already dead.

Not giving him even a chance to compensate her.

……

When Wang Ruoyan left, her face looked unpleasant but worried. Zhao Peng looked at Wang Ruoyan’s trance when she left, and couldn’t help but shake his head.

Actually, he still hasn’t understood what is going on with ShengDashao recently. He used to think that Sheng Zhiming pays special attention to Wang Ruoyan because he likes her. Now it seems like he actually doesn’t? He used to think that Sheng Zhiming was nothing but playful and unsentimental towards Ye Wei, but now it seems like that’s not it either?

Zhao Peng tried to recall, he didn’t say anything bad about Ye Wei too, right? ?

Not long after Wang Ruoyan left, several news broke out on the Internet, saying that several entertainment industry players have been prosecuted because they once publicized news to discredit Ye Wei. However, it wasn’t just them, but netizens who seriously insulted Ye Wei on the Internet had also received an attorney’s letter.

This news attracted the attention and support of the majority of netizens.

The Internet is not an illegal site, so everyone should be responsible for their words and deeds!

When Wang Ruoyan saw the news, she suddenly remembered Liu Jia. Did she go to Sheng Zhiming because of this?

Just when she was puzzled, Du Liang called. His tone was flustered: “Ruoyan, seeing that we have worked together for so long and I have helped you a lot, help me to put in good words for Sheng Shao to not blacklisted me!”

Wang Ruoyan said: “What’s the matter? Du ge, don’t worry, speak slowly, why does Zhiming want to blacklist you?”

Du Liang said: “You know, because Ye Wei bullied you before and used Sheng Zhiming’s name to suppress you all the time. So when something happened to her later, I told the details of your kidnapping to a few big shots. I just wanted to stop Ye Wei and not let her focus on you or always target you. The effect was actually pretty good, you have seen it, right? However,I didn’t expect Ye Wei to die suddenly. Now Sheng Zhiming will actually do all this for Ye Wei to the point he has to eradicate anyone who has hurt Ye Wei!”

“Ruoyan, the reason why you were able to enter the industry in the first place and was able to get where you are today is all thanks to me. Helped me this time, just think of it as repaying back my favor.”

Wang Ruoyan said: “It’s not that I don’t want to help you. Du ge, you should already know all the things that Zhiming recently did to avenge Ye Wei. He won’t just let it go because of my words.”

Seeing Wang Ruoyan refused to agree, Du Liang could only imply: “Ruoyan, I did it all for you. I will deal with Ye Wei just to help you relieve a breath of anger. You must help me! You are Shao Sheng’s savior. I can see that he likes you, so he will listen to you. Just this time, as long as Sheng Shao let me go, I will repay you.”

Du Liang is actually not afraid of the lawyer’s letter, let alone the defendant. He is not afraid of public opinion attacks. But what he is afraid of is Sheng Zhiming’s revenge! At this moment, who dares to bear the anger of ShengDa Xiao?

If this matter can’t be resolved satisfactorily, don’t even think about getting involved in the circle anymore.

Ye Wei’s once life experience will become his future!

Wang Ruoyan finally agreed that she would help him beg for his mercy to Sheng Zhiming.

Du Liang breathed a sigh of relief, but unfortunately the result was not so good. Wang Ruoyan had just called Sheng Zhiming but as if he seemed to have guessed her intentions, he directly said: “Impossible. There is nothing to talk about regarding this matter.”

Then hung up her phone without giving her a chance to speak.

Wang Ruoyan’s face turned pale as she felt Sheng Zhiming’s indifference for the first time.

Because of Du Liang’s action, Wang Ruoyan was also inevitably implicated and for a while stood on the cusp of the storm!

【I was dubious before as who was the one that broke the news to those so-called insiders. Turns out it was Wang Ruoyan’s agent! Looking at all the previous materials, it is almost all about Ye Wei’s bad and Wang Ruoyan’s good, portraying Wang Ruoyan as a kind and brave little angel. It turns out everything was just part of their plan! 】

【This is too disgusting, isn’t it? Would Wang Ruoyan really not know what Du Liang had done?】

【This incident was clearly done by Du Liang, what does it have to do with Ruoyan? What’s more,regardless of what Du Liang did, it can’t deny the fact that little angel Ruoyan actually did help block the knife for Sheng Zhiming and had almost died! 】

【This at least shows that Wang Ruoyan is not as innocent and harmless as her facade. Who knows what’s going on in her heart? 】

【Ye Wei had just died. Are you now going to force Wang Ruoyan to die also? 】

【……】

There was a bloody mess brewing on the Internet.

At this time, more news broke out one after another. Ye Wei has always been doing charity, both publicly and privately and the total number amounts up to no less than tens of millions.

Now netizens heat up again, and even people who had previously insulted Ye Wei, but remained silent after Ye Wei’s death, are coming out at this moment: 【I didn’t expect that Ye Wei, a woman that’s so cowardly, spineless, hypocritical and snobbery, would have such warmth side of her. I deeply apologize to her for my previous prejudice. 】

When that person was still alive, they were full of malice.

After that person died, any amount of kindness is all too late.

Afterwards, Ye Wei won the China Charity Award, and Liu Jia had to take her place to receive the award.

“Ye Wei once said that she doesn’t have much noble sentiment, so she had wanted to accumulate some blessings for herself, and let her live a long, beautiful and peaceful life.”

The person that wanted to live a long time, just had to die young.

This crude fact undoubtedly made everyone sighed.

Liu Jia almost cried to death while holding the trophy so she was helped by someone to stand steady.

She cried for a long time, then cursed for a long time, before finally regretfully cried: “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have not let you bring your bodyguard. Obviously you take them with you wherever you go, but why didn’t you take it that day too?”

Ye Wei had also once said that since she has too much money lying around, she can just sprinkle it casually. Liu Jia would always roll her eyes whenever she heard that phrase as she had never seen such a person who doesn’t treat money as money!

“You can also hype your online persona and receive a wave of favorability. Only if you pay up would you get rewards in return.”

Ye Wei looked triumphant when she said this, and for the first time Liu Jia admitted that Ye Wei finally had a brain.

Unexpectedly there really was a reward for her charity, yet it came in this form.

But why, why didn’t you bring a bodyguard that day?

In fact, Sheng Zhiming also had the same doubts in minds.

That’s right, why didn’t you bring it that day?

However, it’s a pity that the person in question is already dead, and no one will know why.

……

The moment Ye Wei succeeded in jumping off the building, her soul was already out of the body. She floated in the air and saw the chaotic scene on the ground.

【Congratulations to Special Commissioner Ye Wei for successfully completing the side story play of the vicious female supporting lead.】

【Mission completion: 100%】

【Task Rating: 60.】

【The Lord God’s Message: The work performance is a little lacking. Looking forward for more persistent efforts and hard work.】

She opened the personal information column and read it over and over again. She couldn’t believe that she had just barely passed the passing line with her excellent performance! Was she not vicious enough, not selfish enough, and not hypocritical enough?

The system score is directly linked to the lottery. The higher the score, the higher the probability of winning the lottery. She has only 60 points, so the probability of her winning the lottery is only 60%.

The traditional Chinese medicine system is a very precious and rare system. It has always been voted as one of the ten most desired systems. To win it, it requires not only a high probability, but also a lot of luck.

Say, how can she not be angry at this?

Madam Jia Xin, the leader of the vicious female matchmaking group, was the one who came to pick her up. When Ye Wei saw her, she couldn’t help but ask: “It’s fine if I didn’t get a hundred points, yet how come not even a ninety-nine point?”

Ms. Jia Xin: “……”

With her long hair rolled up, black-rimmed glasses, and black-and-white suit, her face was cold like an old pedant, and coughed: “You jumped off the building in front of the male lead, causing the death of the vicious female supporting lead to be discovered a year earlier, and thereby ruining the side story. Ten points deduction.”

Ye Wei: “…”

In the original plot, the original owner was forced off the building and died by accident. And because Kong Baohua, Liu Changyan, Su Chen and others were afraid, in order to get rid of suspicion and avoid responsibility, they framed her, saying that she took the initiative to seduce the married man for resources and said because she was too high on drugs, she stumbled and fell from the heights. They also bought water armys to discredit her and thereby covering up the death of the original host..

It was not until a year later that the truth of this incident was revealed. And that was solely due to Kong Baohua forcing another girl to death, and that same girl just so happened to be a fan of Wang Ruoyan, who was deceived while chasing stars. That girl’s friend begged Wang Ruoyan for injustice, and because Wang Ruoyan couldn’t bear to stand the girl’s plead, she went to find Sheng Zhiming for help again. Only then did he expose Kong Baohua’s true colors and sent him to prison.

It was at the time when the truth behind Ye Wei’s death was revealed.

It turns out that she was not seducing a married man nor was she drugs, rather she was framed! It turns out that she was not high on drugs and fell down by accident, but rather was forced that caused her to fall off accidentally!

That belated truth had finally at last returned Ye Wei’s innocence.

Yet now the plot was changed. Due to Sheng Zhiming’s intervention, Ye Wei was not slandered after her death. No one dared to buy a water army to black her, pour dirty water on her, nor did the death of her remain uncleared. The perpetrator who caused her death was even arrested at the first moment.

This is indeed different from the original plot, but isn’t the final result the same?

Ye Wei tried her best to say: “I can’t blame me for this. I didn’t know that the male lead would take the wrong medicine and suddenly appear there. I was also terrified at that time! But group leader, you saw how even under such circumstances, I was still able to bravely and successfully jump off the building and perfectly complete the ending of the side story plot. Doesn’t it reflect my excellent business ability? Shouldn’t I be given some praise and encouragement?”

Team leader Jia with no emotions: “You jumped off the building in front of the male lead, causing permanent physical and mental damage to the male lead. Thirty points deduction.”

Ye Wei: “…… Physical and mental damage? 30 points deduction?!!!”

So the side story is not as important as the male lead?

Ye Wei: “How can there be such a thing?”

Team leader Jia: “This is a judgment given by the main system, and I have no right to interfere.”

Ye Wei almost died from anger.

Seeing that Ye Wei’s face was not so good, Team Leader Jia thoughtfully said: “Congratulations on completing the task, do you want to leave after seven days?Just take it as a vacation for you.”

Ye Wei: “…Thank you, but it’s okay.” 

Toward this infuriating messy world for her heart, she lacks any reluctance to stay. Leave, need to quickly leave this world.

Before she left, she still couldn’t help but glanced back and saw a man in black standing under the night.

She saw Kong Baohua in a panic, rolling all over the floor begging for mercy.

And she saw Liu Jia, who rushed over at the moment of the news, pounced on the ground, and howled and cried. For someone who especially cared about their image so preciously, she completely disregarded it at that moment.

Seeing her corpse lying there, scarlet blood splashed all over the floor, while the people around were screaming, shouting, running, coming and going, only that one man, who remained solemn and motionless, became the most eye-catching existence.

Sheng Zhiming is actually not so cold-blooded and ruthless. Although she doesn’t know where he got the news, but being able to come to rescue her proves that he still has some conscience.

It’s a pity that his heart’s ability to bear psychological blows doesn’t seem to be very good, rather it’s too fragile. Otherwise, why would it hurt his body and mind just by her jumping off the building?

It even caused her points to be deducted by thirty points!
