Jin Yuan was a little flustered: "You, you still don't want to forgive me?"
Cheng Ye shook his head again: "No, I just lay down for a long time and my body hurts a little."
Jin Yuan quickly stretched out his arms and hugged him: "You have bruises all over your body, you can't massage it, how about I help you get up and walk around?"
"No." Cheng Ye hugged his waist, "Just let me lean on you like this."
Jin Yuan tilted his head to let him lean more comfortably, but his face was still full of panic, afraid that Cheng Ye would bring up what happened before.
He already knew he was wrong and wouldn't dare to do it again.
When he woke up, it was already bright outside. Warm sunlight streamed in through the glass. Cheng Ye squinted his eyes and asked, "Where's Mr. Xiao?"
"Why ask him?" There was a hint of impatience and hatred in Jin Yuan's tone. That man actually dared to hurt his Ye Zi like this. Thinking of how uneasy he felt last night, Jin Yuan wanted to kill Xiao Chubai directly.
As long as he is gone, all of this can probably be directly blamed on him, and perhaps even cover up a little of my own guilt.
Jin Yuan thought that this way he would feel less guilty. Even though it was self-deception, at least he could sleep well at night.
Otherwise, every time he thought of the injuries on Ye Zi's body, Jin Yuan felt that even if he went to the eighteen levels of hell, he would not be able to pay it back.
Cheng Ye grabbed his collar, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Do you believe me?"
Jin Yuan grabbed his hand, his heart and eyes full of guilt: "I have always believed in you." In the end, he still didn't dare to tell his little Ye the most filthy thoughts in his heart. He was afraid that Cheng Ye would be afraid of him.
"So no matter what Xiao Chubai says, you won't be provoked by him?" Cheng Ye asked worriedly.
"Well, yes!" Jin Yuan nodded heavily, "If you care, I won't go to see him or listen to what he says." He never believed Xiao Chubai from beginning to end. He just used him as an excuse to lock up Cheng Ye for a while. Not now, and certainly not in the future!
"That's not necessary. Didn't we say before that the company was damaged? We still need to investigate it thoroughly." Cheng Ye had a smile on his face, but it slowly disappeared and he closed his mouth and said nothing.
Jin Yuan asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Ye closed his eyes for a moment, lowered his head and poked the bandage on his arm. Jin Yuan grabbed his hand and said tentatively, "Jin Yuan, there's no way I can beat Xiao Chubai alone."
Jin Yuan's breathing stagnated, and he used a little more strength to hold his hand.
Cheng Ye pursed her lips: "You said you believed me."
"Well, I believe you." Jin Yuan hugged him and nodded.
Cheng Ye said: "Let Xie Yan go, or don't let him die, okay? After all, he saved my life."
Jin Yuan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded unwillingly: "Xiao Chubai he——"
Cheng Ye raised his hand and stroked his pale and thin cheek, and explained in a low voice: "I don't know where Xiao Chubai wants to take me or what he wants me to do, but I can feel that he should-" Cheng Ye was silent for a moment, and then said, "Jinyuan, I'm not a saint. Xiao Chubai did those things, and I can't forgive him. You think I'm cruel or heartless, Xiao Chubai..."
"...I knew you'd find me. As for Xie Yan, if he hadn't been there, I'd have had no dinner. Xiao Chubai probably had no intention of leaving me alive." Although we live in a society ruled by law, Xiao Chubai has gone mad and doesn't care about morality, ethics, or laws. He couldn't get Jin Yuan, and he had nothing left, so he wanted to drag Cheng Ye down with him. He wasn't doing well, and he didn't intend for Cheng Ye to do the same.
Cheng Ye glanced at Jin Yuan, knowing that he understood this truth, but he endured it and didn't say it out loud. He carefully grabbed Jin Yuan's clothes and told him about Xie Yan: "Jin Yuan, are we together?"
Cheng Ye knew that by pleading for Xie Yan, he was indirectly adding a death warrant to Xie Yan.
Xie Yan’s life could be saved, but he wouldn’t necessarily suffer any hardship.
As for Qi Kai... he has the same nature as Xie Yan.
Cheng Ye didn't bring it up right now, just to make Jin Yuan think he didn't know Qi Kai was in trouble because of him. Otherwise, he would have to plead for Qi Kai. After all, Qi Kai hadn't done anything terrible and had even helped him a lot. If he knew about his suffering, it would be really unreasonable not to say a few words.
But Cheng Ye really didn't want to speak for him, so he just pretended not to know.
666: "..." Big Leaf should be called 666, he thought of everything! He removed it completely~ Awesome~
Jin Yuan nodded and said seriously, word by word, "Of course."
Cheng Ye smiled and said, "Since he helped me, does that mean he also helped you?"
Jin Yuan gently stroked his head, his fingers tangled in his hair: "Okay, I promise you, I'll let him go this time."
Cheng Ye thought about it and said, "That's fine. If he hadn't come to find me last time, I wouldn't have been locked in the elevator. This can be considered as a compensation. But this time he really helped me."
Clear punishment has always been the rule strictly followed by Jinyuan Management Company. He hugged Cheng Ye tightly...
Little Leaf, it would be great if you could stay by my side forever.
Cheng Ye seemed to sense what he was thinking. She put her arms around his waist, closed her eyes, and whispered, "Jin Yuan, how about you make me smaller and put me in your pocket?"
Jin Yuan paused, and said with a wry smile, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Cheng Ye thought to himself, your desire to chain me up is clearly written on your face. Let alone such a forced smile, even if your smile is as bright and dazzling as the sun, I can see it.
Not blind after all.
"Brother." Xiao Chubai lowered his head and only heard the door creak. He smiled bitterly, fearing that he had been breathing more than breathing in.
Messy and sticky hair, shiny black clothes that were clumped together, a body covered with bloodstains, and only the little face was relatively intact.
The new wounds piled up on the old ones, and the wind coming in from the door made him cough non-stop. Perhaps his bronchus was ruptured, and there was blood in the saliva he spat out.
But even so, he still looked forward to Jin Yuan, hoping that the person in his dream would come to see him.
As long as he comes, Xiao Chubai will not care about what happened before, and even forgive him, as long as he...
Cheng Ye chuckled: "Your brother won't come to see you."
Xiao Chubai had been huddled in a corner, but upon hearing his enemy's voice, his eyes grew red with envy. He suddenly looked up, his sharp gaze piercing Cheng Ye, as if to pierce him through. Clumps of hair covered his eyes, but he couldn't lift his hands to brush them away. Xiao Chubai blinked, tears nearly coming out.
Cheng Ye tilted his head and bit his lower lip, looking innocent again. "Your brother promised me that he would not see you, hear you, or believe you. I told him that I hate you and that he would bear the consequences. Otherwise, I would not be able to come, or you would find something to hold against me."
"You!" Xiao Chubai just took a breath, but his body couldn't bear it and collapsed again. He gritted his teeth, supported himself against the wall with his hands, and could only glare at him fiercely.
Cheng Ye stepped on his abnormally bent leg bone with her toes and asked with narrowed eyes, "Broken bone? Didn't anyone call a doctor for you?"
"Of course not, it was me you offended!"
Xiao Chubai spat out a mouthful of blood, and stared at him with a pair of blood-red eyes.
Cheng Ye dodged it neatly, clicked his tongue twice, and said with a smile, "You won't die. Jin Yuan hates you, but Jin Yuan is not the center of the world. There will always be a few old-school people who recognize you as their father and not him. In this critical period of transformation and whitewashing, Jin Yuan cannot be careless, so you will not be really in trouble."
Xiao Chubai sneered. He had been locked up here for more than ten days. He had been afraid and desperate, but he had never thought that he would actually die. It was precisely because of Jin Yuan that he couldn't.
He took a deep breath, blood oozing from the wounds on his body. He endured the pain and said, "When I get out, I will cut you into pieces!"
"You? Are you still dreaming after what you've become? Do you think you still have a chance? If so, would I still be so arrogant in front of you like I am now?" Cheng Ye laughed wantonly and boasted, "Jinyuan likes me, so he made things difficult for you, but you didn't cause any real harm to me, so those old fools used this to threaten Jinyuan. But what if the facts prove that they are wrong? They say you are innocent and that you would never do anything to harm others. What if you do, then they - sorry, Jinyuan, no matter what Jinyuan does next, they have no right to oppose it, right?"
Xiao Chubai's eyes suddenly widened.
Cheng Ye pursed his lips. "Those brothers from Jinyuan have been through thick and thin with him for half their lives, but you made them unemployed with just a few words. You really don't know the hunger of the hungry. They used their blood and sweat to buy you a comfortable life, but you want to ruin their lives with just one word. Xiao Chubai, you are really amazing!"
"They are all criminals. We are already very merciful by not reporting them!" Xiao Chubai sneered, and even though he was out of breath, he still forced a sneer. "Do you love Jin Yuan or hate Jin Yuan? Are you going to let them cling to my brother like leeches? Are you going to send my brother to prison?"
"The criminals you're talking about are all Jin Yuan's good brothers. They're a thousand times more important than you and your backers!" Cheng Ye sneered. "I don't know whether Jin Yuan will go to jail, but I'm sure you'll go to hell!"
He suddenly stretched out his hand, and a cold light flashed, revealing a dagger.
The tip of the knife scratched Xiao Chubai's face. Cheng Ye smiled slightly: "Are you still hoping that Jin Yuan will come to save you? What do you have that makes him like you? Ability? There are thousands of capable people, who are you? Personality? You tried so hard to get rid of his brothers, but Jin Yuan hates more than just you! Your face?"
He patted Xiao Chubai's face with the blade of the knife: "I think your face is indeed quite good-looking, otherwise that Luo Cheng wouldn't be so devoted to you. But he died because of you!"
Cheng Ye sneered, looking ferocious. The sharp knife drew a bloody mark on Xiao Chubai's face. Bright red blood beads seeped out, and because his face was too dirty, they soon sank into the dirt.
Xiao Chubai's pupils suddenly shrank and his shoulders trembled as he tried to dodge, but Cheng Ye would never let him avoid it. The tip of the knife pushed forward again, leaving another blood mark and forming an x.
Cheng Ye smiled and said, "You've been wanting to do something to my face for a long time. Are you jealous of me? I'm prettier than you! You can't get a face like mine even if you reincarnate a hundred times!"
He had been squatting for too long, and his legs were a little numb. After he stood up, he saw Xiao Chubai staring at him with wide eyes, and laughed twice: "Tsk, when you were trying to find ways to deal with me, you never thought that one day a young master like you would be stepped on by a little bitch like me."
As he said this, he really stepped hard on Xiao Chu's face twice, and laughed: "Little bitch? But who made Jin Yuan prefer a little bitch like me rather than a young master like you!" After he said this, he pretended to twist his body and turned away.
The moment he walked out the door, he turned around, and a ray of light shone on Xiao Chubai's face through the narrow gap in the door. The young master who had been staying in the dark and damp for several days slowly narrowed his eyes as if it was a luxury, feeling the rare warmth. A faint arc appeared at the corner of Cheng Ye's lips.
The original owner just wanted to live, but Xiao Chubai was relentless. Not only did he want his life, he also slandered him in front of Jin Yuan many times, looking for evidence of his faults and collusion with internal and external parties. He pushed the original owner to the point where he knew many secrets and had multiple recordings and would never let him live.
Depriving him of his freedom, destroying his face, taking his life, making him unable to rest in peace even after death!
And now——
Xiao Chubai, your beloved will always hate you, torture you, and make you want to live but cannot, and repeatedly mention me in front of you. The person he truly loves deeply is me!
Cheng Ye licked the corners of his dry lips and slammed the door shut, blocking out the last ray of light in Xiao Chubai's world.
Jin Yuan went to the company for a meeting. Ever since Xiao Chubai was locked up, those old men finally caught Jin Yuan doing something wrong and threatened him to completely clear his name and never have anything to do with the darkness before.
Although Jinyuan could safely divest their security company at this time, it would definitely take a lot of time and energy.
At that time, Jin Yuan still remembered their good times and wanted to save them some face. But what if they were to commit suicide and were the first to cross Jin Yuan's bottom line?!
And I am that bottom line.
After Cheng Ye walked out of the basement where Xiao Chubai was imprisoned, he did not return to the room. Instead, he walked up the stairs slowly step by step through the safety passage, as if he was reluctant to leave this world for the last time.
When he reached the last camera in front of the rooftop, Cheng Ye turned around and showed an innocent yet slightly bitter smile. He silently mouthed to the camera: "Jinyuan, I love you. I'm willing to do anything for you."
Cheng Ye was surrounded by many bodyguards. No one noticed anything when he went upstairs, but as soon as he stepped onto the rooftop, someone immediately noticed something was wrong. Three seconds later, Jin Yuan was notified.
His hands were shaking when he hung up the phone and he almost dropped it.
He climbed up to the rooftop in a hurry. The moment he saw Cheng Ye's back, Jin Yuan exhaled imperceptibly. But when he saw the other party climbing up the fence using his hands and feet, his whole heart seemed to be suddenly frozen. He felt cold all over and his teeth were chattering.
Jin Yuan's thighs trembled as he cautiously took two steps forward and called out softly, "Ye... Ye Zi."
As soon as he received the call from the bodyguard, Cheng Ye knew he would come, so he was waiting for him until now.
When Cheng Ye heard Jin Yuan calling him, he didn't turn around. He just found a place to sit with his legs dangling in the air dozens of floors above.
Jin Yuan's heart ached as he looked at his shaky body and his two dangling thin legs.
He swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice, "Ye Zi, don't do anything stupid. Come down quickly."
Cheng Ye suddenly turned around, and his smile was so charming. He grinned, showing a row of bright white teeth, and his body moved twice. Jin Yuan was so scared that he subconsciously reached out to catch him, but was stopped by Cheng Ye.
"Jinyuan, just stand there and don't move!"
Jin Yuan's raised foot suddenly stopped. He was in a state of panic, with thick sweat already oozing out of his forehead. "I won't go over, Ye Zi, don't be impulsive."
Cheng Ye smiled and said, "No." He stretched out his index finger and shook it left and right. "I didn't let you come over because I didn't want you to see me jump. I have to go down anyway."
Jin Yuan's breathing stagnated, and he held his breath and asked, "W-why!" He had finally found the person and clarified the misunderstanding, so why... why couldn't they just live a good life.
Cheng Ye squinted his eyes and thought for a while, but did not answer his question. Instead, he asked, "Jin Yuan, do you love me?"
It was bustling and noisy downstairs, with many people looking up and pointing, watching the fun, but there were even more people maintaining order and cleaning up the air cushions.
Jinyuan had called the firefighters before coming up and was prepared for both scenarios.
But he was panicking, feeling that something big was about to happen.
Jin Yuan hurriedly said, "Ye Zi, I love you, I love you very much, I love you so much, come down, don't scare me."
Cheng Ye nodded and said with a smile: "Yeah, I know."
Jin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then hurried forward: "No, Ye Zi, don't!"
Cheng Ye bit her lower lip and said a little embarrassedly: "Jinyuan, I'm sorry, I..." I really want to love you, but whenever I think of the relationship between you and Bai Lianhua - even if you only have love for me, but what about the original owner... Every time I think of him, I can only feel mixed emotions towards you.
The emotions are complicated, but love is missing.
Not sure if it was because of the sad atmosphere in Jin Yuan, but Cheng Ye suddenly raised his face, two tear marks rolled down his cheeks, and he sniffed.
Jin Yuan's facial features were distorted, and he didn't even know what expression he should make: "Ye Zi, don't be impulsive, you can do whatever you want. If you don't want me to love you, then I won't love you anymore. Cheng Ye, come down!" Jin Yuan's eyes were red and swollen. He thought he would definitely imprison Cheng Ye, but at this moment he realized that no matter what, people have to stay alive first.
As long as Cheng Ye is alive, he can do anything.
Cheng Ye also read this kind of fearful temptation on his face, smiled bitterly, and said: "Jinyuan, I will give you a gift, okay?"
Without waiting for Jin Yuan to answer, Cheng Ye immediately said, "You have always wanted to eliminate dissidents in the company. I have nothing else to give you, so I will give you a reason to take the initiative."
After he finished speaking, he stood up, looked back at Jin Yuan and smiled: "Jin Yuan, I...you, you are a good person, you deserve someone better." After that, he turned his back to Jin Yuan, seemed to look at the gorgeous sunset in the sky, curled the corners of his lips, pointed his toes, opened his arms and jumped down.
The movements were smooth and flowing, without any pause in between, as if, if not, he would never be able to make up his mind.
666: "..." Da Ye Zi is always so unreserved, this is definitely not a white lotus, this is definitely the script of a scumbag!
666 thought for a while and asked, "Why should we give Jinyuan a good guy card?" He always felt that Jinyuan was pitiful.
Cheng Ye tilted his head, also very confused: "I'm not playing the nice guy card. I'm telling the truth. I can't repay his love, so I hope he can find his own happiness this morning." He didn't know what went wrong in his brain. He obviously wanted to take revenge on Jin Yuan, but in the end he still hoped that the other party would get his reward after all the hardships. Perhaps it was because Jin Yuan did not directly harm the original owner, and the remaining obsession with revenge was weak.
If 666 knew his thoughts, he would definitely be heartbroken and light countless candles for Jinyuan. This wasn't a blessing for Jinyuan at all, but rather a disguised way of making Jinyuan never forget him, his white moonlight. Perhaps, seeing Jinyuan's infatuation, he might commit suicide for love, but he was afraid that the person he would find in the future would be similar to Da Ye Zi.
But seeing Cheng Ye's pensive look, 666 swallowed what he wanted to say. He could sense that Big Leaf was not in a good mood.
Unlike the first time he left the world and completed the task with ease, Daye was staring blankly with an expressionless face and unfocused eyes. It was obvious that he was still thinking about things in the previous world, or... people.
666 asked cautiously and tentatively, "Ye Zi, do you like Jin Yuan?"
It's no use beating around the bush with someone like Ye Zi. He prefers to be straightforward when he has something to say, so 666 asked straightforwardly.
Sure enough, Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes, not because he was angry, but after thinking for a while, he said very seriously: "A little bit, but not to the point of being inseparable." He had read the original owner's information before meeting Jin Yuan. Because of his preconceived notions, he always had a bad feeling about Jin Yuan, but the other party was really too good to him, so good that he... felt that it was a sin in itself not liking Jin Yuan.
666 wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Cheng Ye. He hesitated and asked, "But don't you think Jin Yuan's kindness to me is inexplicable? I don't know... does he like me, or does he like... Bai Lianhua?"
666 was stunned and choked.
Yes, although Jin Yuan in the original material did not like Xiao Chubai, it was precisely because of Xiao Chubai's white lotus temperament that he was very accommodating to him, and he turned a blind eye to many things. Otherwise, he would not be indifferent to Xiao Chubai's casual framing of innocent people, and finally supported him to find his own destination.
So… Cheng Ye pursed her lips and smiled: "Who cares? He's going to leave anyway. Who he likes has nothing to do with me."
Having said that, Cheng Ye didn't continue the topic, and 666 didn't feel comfortable asking. Even if this world ended, after a little preparation, 666 would send Cheng Ye to the next world.
Starting the mission early would save me from having to dwell on random thoughts. Everyone has a period of emotional innocence; during adolescence, there are always a few unrequited crushes. Jin Yuan is already a thing of the past; the next step is the key. As long as Daye still has the ability to like people, he's such a good person, he'll definitely find someone who loves him deeply, regardless of anything else.
666For some reason, I just have this feeling.
…
On the rooftop, Jin Yuan flew over but failed to catch the butterfly flying downwards. His eyes were unfocused and he lay on the platform where Cheng Ye had just sat, not daring to look down.
With his fists clenched tightly, Jin Yuan's forehead was bulging with veins, his facial features were ferocious, and he gritted his teeth but murmured weakly to himself: "Cheng Ye, what did I do wrong, what on earth did I do wrong, why do you treat me like this, Cheng Ye, I just... love you too much... Cheng Ye... how can you... be so cruel." But, what should I do if I still love you so much, even more.
You won't wait for me on the road to the underworld, will you?
