Yin Chengjue’s past life was a complete joke.
The star he personally groomed not only betrayed him but twisted the knife when his company was on the brink of collapse.
Reborn, he vowed ...
"What? Feng Chengda is in the ICU?" Yin Chengjue had been scrolling through the trending topics that exposed Feng Chengda's true nature until midnight last night, and his dreams were sweet, no longer dreaming of Feng Chengda's sullen face.
Unexpectedly, the news of Feng Chengda being sent to the ICU spread the next day, and photos of Feng Chengda being put on a ventilator and having white gauze wrapped around his head were already trending on social media.
Following this photo were two faces that Yin Chengjue hated to the core.
Su Zi and Feng Changheng, both dressed in plain white, stood in front of the ICU, their pale faces filled with anxiety and worry.
Because someone had previously uncovered their identities, netizens were able to recognize them at a glance as the mistress and illegitimate child who had recently been subjected to intense public criticism.
Although Feng Chengda did not sign the divorce agreement, the news of his separation from Yin He has been pinned to the top of all social media platforms for a whole day. Even though they haven't obtained the certificate, netizens already consider them divorced.
The fact that Fengchengda has run into this kind of trouble so soon after the divorce inevitably arouses speculation among the public.
A large portion of these people believed that Yin He was behind it and took it seriously, condemning Yin He for being ruthless and saying it was no wonder Feng Chengda cheated on her.
When Yin Chengjue saw the fabricated stories and smear campaigns in the articles, he knew that someone was definitely behind this.
Feigning illness?
This was Yin Chengjue's first thought.
However, regardless of whether Feng Chengda was faking his illness, he was still the other party's son, even though Yin He had already decided to divorce Feng Chengda.
Feng Chengda was admitted to the ICU, and as a son, he didn't show any concern whatsoever. Anyone with a brain can imagine how much he'll be scolded.
Even though he had been subjected to Feng Chengda's coldness and scolding since childhood, there were always some people who liked to advise others to be kind. With a few keystrokes, they really thought they had become saints, mothers, or leaders who persuaded people to let go of hatred and repay evil with kindness, and they were extremely immersed in the role.
Yin Chengjue did not hesitate for long before deciding to go to the hospital to "visit" them and see what kind of show they were putting on.
Of course, Yin Chengjue wasn't unprepared to go into battle alone. He had his assistant Guan arrange for a team of reporters to join him. Their interviewing skills didn't matter; the key was that they had to be tall, strong, and fast enough to surround him at any time, leaving no room for others to squeeze in or pass him a microphone.
Yin Chengjue offered these reporters a generous price, but if he saw any other reporters with ill intentions sneaking in, he would deduct their pay!
Assistant Guan acted swiftly, contacting a group of reporters as strong as bodyguards as Yin Chengjue requested. They carried cameras and microphones, yet exuded the aura of someone going into battle with guns and cannons.
Yin Chengjue was very satisfied and told them to follow him from a distance for the time being, and to catch up if they noticed anything amiss.
After preparing all this, Yin Chengjue arrived at the hospital where Feng Chengda was located. Before he could even enter the hospital gate, reporters who had been waiting there rushed towards him!
However, before the fastest reporter could even shove the microphone in front of Yin Chengjue and ask a few questions like, "Was your father hospitalized because your mother, Yin He, hired someone to kill him? Why would she do that? Is she usually this ruthless? Did Feng Chengda go out to find someone else because Yin He abused him?", a group of reporters who seemed to appear out of nowhere beat him to it, pushing him, microphone in hand, out of the layers of reporters!
The reporter, who had been pushed aside, was stepped on several times, his shoes instantly covered with footprints. He winced in pain and said, "Who stepped on me?" However, the person who had pushed to the front was not only burly but also had a very loud voice, which completely drowned out his voice.
"Mr. Yin! Are you here to visit your father? Do you know why he was admitted to the ICU?" The burly reporters who squeezed forward surrounded Yin Chengjue, preventing other reporters with ill intentions from getting close, while shoving their microphones in front of him and asking loudly.
Yin Chengjue couldn't hold back his tears; his eyes only reddened slightly, but that was enough.
He looked at the reporter who had asked the question and replied, "I don't know. My father hasn't come home these past few days; he must be staying with someone else..."
At this point, Yin Chengjue paused appropriately and gave a wry smile: "He often doesn't come home. I used to think it was because he was too busy with work, but now I think he simply doesn't consider the place where my mother and I live as a home."
Wow!
This smells strongly of garbage!
The reporters, who had initially thought he was simply shielding Yin Chengjue from the brunt of the criticism, were suddenly invigorated! They quickly followed up on Yin Chengjue's words and asked, "You mean he's been staying at that mistress's house these past few days? But I heard that Feng Chengda hasn't signed the divorce papers yet."
Yin Chengjue nodded sullenly: "Yes, he doesn't agree to a divorce."
Wow! So they haven't signed the divorce papers yet?
He refused to sign the divorce agreement with his wife while moving into his mistress's house. How shameless can he be!
Some reporters were broadcasting live, and netizens who heard this through their screens were instantly disgusted by Fengchengda's self-righteous and two-timing behavior.
Those who had previously criticized Yin Chengjue for not visiting his seriously ill father immediately, and who claimed he was less filial than an illegitimate son, vanished instantly, replaced by a barrage of comments expressing sympathy for Yin Chengjue.
Yin Chengjue is also pitiful. He was not loved by his father since he was a child. When his scumbag father got into trouble, he was blamed for it. I just want to ask those people, if your father was living with a woman outside and got into trouble in the middle of the night and was taken to the ICU, would you be able to hear the news immediately and rush to the bedside to cry?
—Was the person above implying that someone's eyes didn't even turn red when they were posing for a photo? Hahahaha…
—Ugh! When I saw the leaked photos on Weibo, I immediately thought, "Though the mistress and the illegitimate child look worried, the mistress's long hair is neatly combed, and the illegitimate child has hairspray in their hair." You could say it's one thing if it were daytime, but why would they use hairspray to style their hair when they're taking a patient out of their house late at night?!
Now that you mention it, I'm starting to suspect it's all an act.
—Yes, didn't they say Feng Chengda refused to sign the divorce agreement? He probably just wanted to use his illness to stall Yin He.
Wow! That's so insidious! Knowing full well that you're being cuckolded, you still can't get rid of the grass.
—I truly feel sorry for Yin He.
Regardless of the online sentiment, Yin Chengjue insisted on visiting Feng Chengda to avoid giving anyone cause for gossip. So, surrounded by a group of people, he entered the hospital safely.
No one can cause trouble in the hospital. Even if the reporters had a lot of questions, they had to hold back and wait for Yin Chengjue to come out. Otherwise, if they were sued for disturbing the patients' rest, they would definitely lose their jobs.
However, while reporters from major newspapers had reservations, reporters from private newspapers were willing to do anything to break the news. They secretly hid pinhole cameras inside, hoping to dig up some sensational exclusive stories.
At this moment, Feng Chengda had not yet come out of the ICU. Yin Chengjue immediately spotted Su Zi and Feng Changheng guarding the ICU door.
Scenes from his past life flashed through his mind. Yin Chengjue held back for a long time before he rushed up and beat the two people who indirectly caused Yin He's death into a pulp.
No rush.
Yin Chengjue tried to calm himself down.
Beating someone up now will only make you look unreasonable when you're in the right.
Yin Chengjue refrained from rushing up to beat someone up, but Su Zi walked towards Yin Chengjue with unsteady steps, her slender body appearing as if she could collapse at any moment.
Upon seeing his behavior, Yin Chengjue's alarm bells went off. Before Su Zi could even reach him, he suddenly took several steps back, as if avoiding something dirty.
Su Zi's posture of wanting to kneel in front of him instantly froze. She did not expect that the playboy who was stupid and incompetent in Feng Chengda's words could see through her plan to kneel down and play the victim in their first encounter.
Yin Chengjue is keeping so far away from her, even if she kneels down, the two of them can't be in the same shot, so what's the point!
Su Zi gritted her teeth, telling herself it was just a coincidence, and then staggered towards Yin Chengjue, crying out, "Young Master Yin, I beg you..."
She fixed her gaze on Yin Chengjue, and to prevent him from running away again, she pounced on him and grabbed his legs. Afraid of missing her chance, she hurriedly kowtowed to him, saying, "Please, please let Cheng Da go! Everything is my fault, but he is still your father! How could you do this!"
She had already prepared her explanation, pinning the blame for Feng Chengda being admitted to the ICU on Yin Chengjue, and completely absolving her son of any responsibility!
As for Feng Chengda, she was prepared to leave him paralyzed on that hospital bed forever.
The thought that soon after, photos of her kneeling and kowtowing before Yin Chengjue would be circulated, along with texts of Yin Chengjue coercing her, would surely spread the message that the Yin family was abusing their power and bullying others.
Su Zi was mentally calculating her options when she heard her son call out from behind, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, "Mom!"
Su Zi realized something was wrong, looked up, and discovered that she wasn't grabbing Yin Chengjue's trouser leg at all, but an old doctor who happened to be passing by.
The old doctor disliked people who made a lot of noise in the hospital, especially since this was outside the ICU, next to other critical care rooms, as it would disturb the doctors' work or the patients' rest.
"Please keep quiet, or leave. This is not a place for you to put on airs and shout!" The old doctor, who had seen a lot, could tell at a glance that Su Zi was faking her tears, because she was yelling at the top of her lungs, but there wasn't even a trace of redness in her eyes, let alone tears.
Su Zi was instantly embarrassed and turned her gaze to the side, but she could no longer see even half a shadow of Yin Chengjue.
"Mom, he just left..." And he left really fast, like he was avoiding two plagues...
Feng Changheng kept replaying Yin Chengjue's disdainful attitude in his mind, and he felt a surge of anger rising in his heart, his expression gradually becoming distorted.
A long chapter this weekend! I'm begging for your votes and recommendations!
