Sheng Ai was sacrificed.
Sheng Ai mutated.
Sheng Ai returned.
The CEO Eldest Brother: I have mind reading abilities; nothing you think can hide from me.
Then he went deaf: D...
Although every member of the Sheng family present had considered that others might also possess a cheat code.
But when he heard Sheng Jiagui say that...
Everyone was still shocked, and they all looked at Sheng Jiagui with disbelief on their faces.
"A transmigrator?"
"The world we live in is actually a book?"
"This is too fantastical!"
"I don't believe it!" Young Sheng Tianxing was especially agitated, his fingers unconsciously gripping the knife and fork and banging on the table.
"If this world is a book, doesn't that mean we're all two-dimensional characters, not real people?"
Hang Wei remained calm: "If you really are a transmigrator, then what about the original Sheng Jiagui?"
“He’s dead,” Sheng Jiagui said. “He caught a cold when he left Carnival Island, so he asked the waiter for a box of cephalosporin.”
"You know, he likes to drink."
"On the plane back to China, he had a drinking problem and forgot that he had just taken cephalosporin. He took out a bottle of red wine and drank it."
"So he died, and I wore it."
"Where's the evidence?" Sheng Jing frowned. "What evidence do you have to prove you're a transmigrator?"
Sheng Jiagui: "The major lawsuits I won with ease are evidence of that."
"The original book describes the details of those major cases, clearly outlining who the participants were, who the witnesses were, and how the evidence was disposed of. Once I take on these cases, winning will be a piece of cake."
At this point, he gave a mocking smile, "Otherwise, with the abilities of that original Sheng Jiagui, how could he have passed the bar exam right after graduation?"
"How could you win so many major lawsuits in just one year?"
Sheng Jiagui was originally a law student with average grades, and he graduated from university a year ago.
In this world, the bar exam is held during the summer vacation.
Given Sheng Jiagui's original abilities, it would have been impossible for him to pass the bar exam.
The Sheng family members exchanged glances, and believed them to some extent.
Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why Sheng Jiagui changed so much after returning from Carnival Island.
They not only became cold, decisive, and assertive.
They also became shrewd and perceptive, as if their IQ had increased by several tens of percentage points.
They all interpreted this as Sheng Jiagui also receiving a cheat code.
However, they never expected that the original Sheng Jiagui had already died long ago...
However, they dared not completely believe it.
“If we were truly characters in a book,” Sheng Jing pressed, “what would my fate be in the book?”
"And what became of the Sheng family?"
Sheng Jiagui lit a cigarette, took two deep drags, and then said, "They're all dead."
That's not entirely accurate.
"Some died, some were disabled for life, some went to jail, none of them had a good ending."
The Sheng family: "..."
Sheng Tianxing found it hard to accept: "The Sheng family is rich and powerful, and everyone in them is awesome. How could they end up like this?"
Are you lying to us?
Sheng Jing also said with a gloomy face, "If you really are a transmigrator, then you are not one of our family. Believe me or not, we will kill you."
Sheng Jiagui gave another mocking smile: "Would the Sheng family care about the life or death of their own family members?"
"For the Sheng family, isn't profit above all else?"
"Whoever benefits the Sheng family is a member of the Sheng family."
"Whoever dies would benefit the Sheng family, so they must die."
"I'm much more useful than the original Sheng Jiagui, so you've obviously killed me?"
Look at Sheng Ai, isn't she a perfect example?
So he didn't care at all about telling the truth.
The Sheng family: "..."
That makes sense.
The Sheng family does not support useless people.
Those who cannot help the Sheng family should be eliminated.
"You still haven't told me how the Sheng family died." Sheng Tianxing couldn't accept the Sheng family's fate and asked urgently, "Explain clearly, don't lie, or I won't let you off!"
"Because the Sheng family offended the male and female protagonists." Sheng Jiagui did not hide anything.
Sheng Tianxing: "Who are the male and female protagonists in the original book?"
"Lou Jia and Jiang Caicai," Sheng Jiagui said with a look of disgust, "This is a romance novel, and all the plot and characters are there to make their love story possible."
"Lou Jia is the eldest grandson of the Lou family in the capital who has been missing for many years."
"Jiang Caicai is the eldest great-granddaughter of the Shi family in the capital who was switched at birth."
"You can imagine how glorious these two people were after they returned to their ancestral home."
The Sheng family members stirred and whispered among themselves.
Jealousy was evident in her eyes and brows.
The marriage between the eldest and second-ranked direct descendants of the four great families in the capital must have brought immense power.
The Sheng family could never hope to match them...
"In the book, Sheng Tianxing took a fancy to Lou Jia and tried every means to seduce him and get rid of Jiang Caicai, which offended him and brought disaster upon herself."
"Bullshit!" Sheng Tianxing's face flushed red as he cursed, "I wouldn't even look at that damn Lou Jia!"
"My target is Ninth Master..."
She stopped talking at that point.
The Sheng family members also looked at her with strange eyes.
Her qualifications are indeed quite good, but... Ninth Master?
She's really thinking way too far.
"In short, I have no interest in Loujia," Sheng Tianxing emphasized.
"You'd better not have it, lest you end up like the characters in the book," Sheng Jiagui said calmly.
“Sheng Jing also took a liking to Jiang Caicai and tried to assault her several times, thus offending her and Lou Jia.”
He shrugged at this point, "You should know that in a modern romance novel, offending the male or female lead can have dire consequences."
Sheng Jing's face darkened upon hearing this.
He opened his mouth as if to refute or explain, but ultimately said nothing.
This is a scene from the book.
Reality has changed.
Why would he bother with all this?
Sheng Jiagui continued: "In the book, the Sheng family is the main villain. They are obsessed with climbing to the top of the pyramid. To this end, they even joined the Illuminati and rose to prominence."
"After that, they opposed the Shi family and the Lou family at every turn, and at one point they had the upper hand and almost killed Lou Jia and Jiang Caicai."
"But the male and female protagonists are the male and female protagonists. They will experience hardships and suffer a lot, but in the end they will still win and live happily ever after."
“Those who have bullied them, such as the Sheng family, will die a terrible death.”
The Sheng family remained silent.
I don't know how to process such a tragic "original fate"...
A moment later.
Hang Wei spoke up: "Where is Sheng Ai?"
What were her experiences and what was her fate in the original book?
