Department store.
Fourth floor.
Standing on the edge near the railing, Luo Chen tilted his head slightly, staring at the sixth floor.
He stroked his chin, deep in thought.
Although I understand the cause of the plot and storyline, I still can't understand why the subsequent plot was brought forward so much.
The protagonist, Ye Feng, has not yet returned from the Northern Frontier.
The matter of him becoming the son-in-law of the Jiang family has not even begun.
Moreover, the current head of the Jiang family is Jiang Zetian, who is Jiang Xinyu's father.
As the story unfolds, they have no reason to kill Jiang Shiyu.
Jiang Shiyu is indeed one of the female leads, and also the fiancée chosen by the protagonist Ye Feng.
Although Jiang Shiyu is not the only female lead.
Qin Xiyao, Lu Wanqing, and Ya, whose name is currently only known, are also among them.
Although the author will introduce other female characters later on.
However, Jiang Shiyu's position as the first wife will not change.
Perhaps it's because the author is just trying to make easy money.
The first book, "The Return of the Dragon King," gave the author a taste of success, resulting in the protagonist receiving almost the same treatment in his new book, "The Return of the God of War."
Although there has been some progress, Ye Feng's difficulty level is still much higher than Ye Lin's.
But the stories about encountering the eldest son's wife when we were kids are really not that different.
It was because of that love at first sight, and the precocious, perverted mentality.
Whether it was Fang Xue at the beginning or Jiang Shiyu now, their level of love is very high.
Her position as the empress is unshakeable.
Of course, if it weren't for the sudden critical illness of the Jiang family patriarch, Jiang Zetian wouldn't have been able to take over.
It's impossible for Ye Feng to meet Jiang Shiyu so quickly, let alone marry her.
Although it would be very easy for the protagonist to run into the female lead.
Without the help of some low-IQ supporting characters, there would still be difficulties.
Undoubtedly, Jiang Zetian and Jiang Xinyu are both of low intelligence.
Being in the Jiang family, his knowledge and education were naturally far superior to others.
He was able to sit in the position of one of the two hegemons of Yan Province.
The Jiang family naturally has its unique characteristics.
Otherwise, in such a turbulent era, the Jiang family would have long since vanished into oblivion.
This is not only due to the Jiang family's uniqueness, but also to the old man's decision-making ability.
If it weren't for the old man's presence and decisive decisions...
It is impossible for the Jiang family to be on par with the Ye family and become one of the two dominant forces in Yan Province.
However, when such a situation occurs, things often develop in a different direction.
Perhaps this is a common problem among writers who create works based on dog-themed stories, and it's also for the sake of plot development.
Whenever something related to the protagonist appears, there's a sudden drop in IQ.
Jiang Zetian has learned a lot from the old man over the years.
As his son, I know best what kind of person the old man is.
It wasn't just Jiang Zetian; the rest of the Jiang family were the same.
It's impossible for the old man to have made no mistakes during his many years in office.
But the old man must have had extraordinary abilities to have propelled the Jiang family to this position.
Moreover, it's rare to see the old man so determined about something, even to the point that his most beloved granddaughter scolded him, disregarding his feelings.
Anyone with a normal mind would realize that something was wrong.
But as long as it's related to the protagonist, even the most obvious things suddenly become like the blind man's blindness.
They couldn't see any aspects that were beneficial to themselves.
Of course, this is also used as a prelude to being proven wrong.
Otherwise, the scene of regret wouldn't have appeared in the subsequent plot.

Department store.
The fourth floor, near the railing.
Luo Chen was still standing there.
A while had passed since the gunshots rang out, and in that short time, a lot could have happened.
But Luo Chen wasn't in a hurry; he didn't want to rush over to save the person.
Da da da—!
Wolf Fang appeared behind Luo Chen.
Wolf Fang was somewhat puzzled to see that Luo Chen was still there.
Luo Chen had come to rescue people, so Langya naturally heard the gunshots earlier.
Although there is no movement at all on the sixth floor.
But Wolf Fang knew very well that silence was the most frightening thing.
"Young Master Luo, aren't we going up?"
In the end, Wolf Fang couldn't help but ask.
Luo Chen shook his head slightly: "No need, just wait here."
Upon hearing this, Wolf Fang fell silent for a moment.
He didn't understand the meaning of waiting here. Could waiting here really save someone?
impossible.
Wolf Fang shook his head slightly.
The earlier gunshots already proved that those people were not benevolent.
And upon hearing that sound, there were subsequent screams.
It's obvious that someone is already dead.
Under such circumstances, staying here would undoubtedly contradict Luo Chen's previous actions.
Wolf Fang naturally didn't believe the previous guesses.
But after all, it was Luo Chen who first suggested doing this.
Since we're going to wait here, then let's wait.
Wolf Fang understood his duty; as long as Luo Chen was safe, he wouldn't concern himself with anything else.
Luo Chen was naturally unaware that his words would evoke so many thoughts in Wolf Fang.
Even if I knew, it wouldn't matter.
After all, some things are simply unchangeable.
Just like that gunshot earlier, the fate of the person who was killed was predetermined.
No matter how you change it, that guy can't escape his fate of dying.
In the original storyline, Ye Feng accompanied Jiang Shiyu to the exchange meeting, and that's when they encountered this situation.
Ye Feng made his move ahead of time, and those who were destined to meet their end still did.
He completed his mission and clocked out.
Now the plot has moved forward, and Ye Feng is no longer here.
Luo Chen arrived at the wrong time, so naturally he couldn't save the other party.
Although there is a system, there is no way to travel back to the past.
Do you really think that Doraemon exists in the world of novels?
Please, that would be copyright infringement!
[...]
For a moment, Luo Chen remained silent.
Wolf Fang naturally wouldn't engage in awkward small talk.
Luo Chen was staring intently at the sixth floor, seemingly looking at something. Although he knew there were people there, they didn't appear in his sight.
The area near the railing was empty; there was nothing to see.
However, Luo Chen murmured softly, "They're here."
They've arrived?
Wolf Fang was confused; what was coming?
Instinctively, Wolf Fang looked up.
Several people appeared in the previously empty corner of the sixth floor.
A young girl in a white dress was forced to a spot near the railing by several burly men dressed in black and wearing hoods.
Their aim seemed to be to force the girl to jump from here.
Although it only has six floors.
But how can the height of a department store be compared to that of a residential building?
Even in residential buildings, jumping from the sixth floor can be life-threatening.
Not to mention here.
The distance between them was quite far, so Luo Chen and Lang Ya couldn't hear what they were saying.
But when they saw that the other party had broken the glass, Jiang Shiyu was left holding onto the railing and standing outside.
There's no need to guess; it's obvious what will happen next.
After exchanging a few words with Langya, Luo Chen and Langya went their separate ways.
