Chapter 56
Assistant Zhang was very displeased with Fu Nanjue’s words. He glanced at Qiu Chi, not wanting her to release Fu Nanjue at all.
And Qiu Chi indeed had no intention of letting him go. “So, other people did all the bad things, and you did nothing? You’re completely innocent, is that it?”
“I didn’t cause you any substantial harm, did I? The villa is yours, Assistant Zhang brought you here, and Assistant Zhang was the one kissing and hugging you. And the door is right there. I don’t think I stopped you from leaving, did I? Did I do anything excessive to you? No, right?”
Qiu Chi mimicked Fu Nanjue, pushing all the blame onto others while acting pure and innocent herself. Fu Nanjue was so angry he nearly coughed up blood.
Fu Yi chimed in with a smile from the side. “That’s right, big brother. Miss Ye didn’t do anything to you. You can’t blame others just because you were enjoying yourself and didn’t want to leave, can you?”
Fu Nanjue glared menacingly at Fu Yi. “You’re asking to die!”
“Big brother, your attitude is truly heartbreaking. I came to see you out of kindness, and this is how you talk to me!”
The sight of Fu Yi acting this way disgusted Fu Nanjue. He clenched his fists, ready to strike. But Fu Yi wasn’t Assistant Zhang; he wouldn’t just stand there and take a beating.
After a month without exercise, Fu Nanjue was weak enough for even Assistant Zhang to pin him down for a kiss. Naturally, he was no match for Fu Yi.
But after Fu Nanjue took just one punch from Fu Yi, Assistant Zhang couldn’t bear it any longer. “I wouldn’t even dare to lay a finger on President Fu, what gives you the right to hit him!”
With Assistant Zhang’s help, Fu Yi was now outmatched. He cast a pleading look at Qiu Chi. “Help me.”
Qiu Chi watched the show with her arms crossed. “You can either run, or you can let them beat you up.”
Fu Yi’s smile vanished. “I’m your partner in this, and you won’t even help me?!”
Qiu Chi corrected him. “Wrong. You’re the one who wants to deal with Fu Nanjue and take over the Fu Group. I just helped you out along the way. Speaking of which, you still owe me.”
Fu Yi was dumbfounded. His only option was to run.
With his target gone, the enraged Fu Nanjue turned his attention to Qiu Chi.
Before Assistant Zhang could stop him, Fu Nanjue was kicked onto the sofa by Qiu Chi.
“Still want to hit me? You really can’t read the room. I was originally just going to lock you up for three months. Now it looks like you’ll be staying a bit longer. I wonder if you’ll be turned by then.”
Fu Nanjue clutched his stomach, his face covered in a cold sweat, his eyes fierce.
Qiu Chi ignored him, turning her gaze to the heartbroken Assistant Zhang. “Assistant Zhang, you should work harder. Try to turn him. Who knows, by the time he gets out, he might not be able to leave you.”
Assistant Zhang had been flustered when he first heard Qiu Chi might let Fu Nanjue go, but her latest words made his heart flutter.
Seeing this, Qiu Chi smiled with satisfaction and left the two of them alone.
Outside, Fu Yi couldn’t help but glare when he saw Qiu Chi. “You just stood there and watched me get beaten? And what you said just now—since when did you learn Fu Nanjue’s trick of shifting responsibility?”
Qiu Chi glanced at him and retorted, “What else? Are we that close? Weren’t those words the truth? Aren’t you the one who benefits the most?”
Fu Yi was at a loss for words.
After all, he really was the one who benefited the most.
But he still felt a little angry.
Qiu Chi paid him no mind. She got into her car and appeared to be resting with her eyes closed, but she was actually asking the System, “I think I can leave now, right?”
The System just felt its heart ache. 【The plot is so wrecked its own mother wouldn’t recognize it! Does it even matter if you leave or not?】
“True, it doesn’t matter. Then let’s go.”
Qiu Chi vanished without a trace, impossible to find.
Without Fu Nanjue, Fu Yi successfully took over the Fu Group.
Fu Nanjue remained locked in the villa, subjected to all sorts of humiliating treatment by Assistant Zhang.
Whenever Fu Yi was frustrated, he would watch the surveillance footage to blow off steam. He tried to find Qiu Chi, but to no avail. He even reported her missing to the police, but it was useless.
In the villa, Assistant Zhang had never actually taken the final step. Whenever he tried, Fu Nanjue’s reaction would be so violent that Assistant Zhang had to back down.
Fu Yi, feeling this wasn’t satisfying enough, decided to send Assistant Zhang some drugs.
And so, the final step was successful. Fu Nanjue, who had been suppressed for so long, finally snapped.
Fu Nanjue killed Assistant Zhang and then somehow managed to escape the villa.
Fu Yi frowned when he saw this and immediately called for a number of bodyguards.
His precautions were correct. Fu Nanjue came looking for him, intent on killing him without a second word. He was still shouting, “Where is Ye Tiantian? I’m going to kill her!”
Fu Yi was heavily protected by his bodyguards. Although the crazed Fu Nanjue was difficult to handle, he was eventually captured.
Fu Yi looked down on him from above and said, “Have you gone mad? Then let’s send you to a mental hospital.”
The moment the bodyguards let their guard down, Fu Nanjue broke free and charged straight for Fu Yi.
Perhaps the male lead’s halo flared for an instant. Fu Nanjue actually broke through the bodyguards’ line, reached Fu Yi, and stabbed him. Then, he grabbed Fu Yi’s hand and used it to stab himself several times.
Fu Yi cursed, “Fucking lunatic!”
Fu Nanjue died. Fu Yi spent a long time in the hospital and then had to prove that he hadn’t killed Fu Nanjue—that Fu Nanjue had guided his hand to stab himself to death.
By the time the matter was settled, the Fu Group’s stock had plummeted again and again, and the company was on the verge of collapse.
As for the face-con Ye Jiaojiao, she behaved herself for a while after the engagement.
But seeing that her fiancé treated her well and that there were plenty of handsome boys at her university, her face-con heart began to stir.
She inevitably cheated on him. When her fiancé found out, he locked her up, giving her a taste of what Ye Tiantian had experienced.
In the system space, the System was wailing.
【I just praised you in the last world, why did this one turn out like this?!】
【The mission completion rate is 0! It’s actually 0!】
【The Main System said you don’t even get a consolation prize! You have to accept punishment and enter the next world with your memory sealed!】
Qiu Chi was unconcerned. “Are you sure you can seal my memory?”
The System huffed angrily. 【I can’t, but the Main System can! Let’s see how arrogant you are then!】
【The Main System also said that what you’re doing is unacceptable. You don’t want to be abused, but you should at least make them fall in love with you. So from now on, you can’t just leave as you please. Unless the plot reaches a passing grade, or you make them fall in love with you, you’ll have to stay in that world for the rest of your life!】
“What kind of ridiculous requirement is this? Who is your Main System? Tell it to come out and talk to me itself.”
【Anyway, our Main System is very powerful. He can definitely keep you in line. Hmph! ╭(╯^╰)╮】
