The Domineering CEO, but a Crybaby! - Chapter 38
Chapter 38: Longevity
After Cen Qianyi realized what she had done, the hand on He Shu’s shoulder tightened abruptly!
He Shu looked at her, wincing in pain.
Outside the window, the sky was already getting brighter, and the lamp that had been on all night in the room lost its purpose.
The small circle of dim yellow light shrinking in the corner looked as if it were afraid of the person in front of it.
Cen Qianyi had her back to the light. The deep, surging undercurrent in her eyes was like the sea before a storm, and a single glance was enough to feel the danger.
When He Shu saw this, her heart sank to the bottom. Although the emotions in those eyes were complex, one emotion was very clear.
Anger. She was angry!
This was the first time He Shu had seen Cen Qianyi show such a direct and obvious emotion toward her!
It was as if she didn’t want to pretend anymore!
She was telling her that she was angry!
He Shu’s sunken heart was hit by a club and bounced back up erratically.
Her mind was also in a mess. The anger she had instinctively felt when she was suddenly bitten turned into a fog in the face of the impending thunder.
It dissipated quickly, leaving nothing behind, only fear.
He Shu wanted to run, but the hand on her shoulder was gripping her shoulder bone, which was raised from tension, like an eagle’s claw.
And the restraint on her chin. Each finger felt as if it was going to crush her bones.
This was the first time He Shu had realized that Cen Qianyi had such strength. That’s right. How could a top assassin not have some strength?
She was also stupid. He Shu quickly reflected, trying to find a way to save herself.
How did this person suddenly get angry? He Shu quickly rewound her memory and found the key in less than half a second!
My goodness. How could she have said that Cen Qianyi suddenly died… Even though she meant to express that she would be sad if she died, did Cen Qianyi hear it as a curse for her to die?
Just as she was about to explain, Cen Qianyi’s voice, which seemed to be deliberately lowered to suppress some kind of emotion, rang out again.
“Don’t worry. You will definitely die before me. You won’t get a chance to be sad.”
When He Shu heard this, she knew for sure that this person was bothered by that sentence.
She covered her face, looked at the person, saw the dangerous aura in her eyes, and tried her best to control her erratic heart and find her voice again.
“Okay… I wish you… a long and healthy life.”
Cen Qianyi’s eyebrows twitched, and her heart skipped a beat. She looked down at the person, suddenly a little lost in thought.
What did she just say?
She wished her… a long and healthy life…
This was the first time she had ever heard such words.
Someone actually wished her… a long and healthy life…
She had only ever heard people wish she would die sooner…
He Shu noticed that the hand on her shoulder suddenly loosened, and the fingers pinching her face also relaxed. She looked at the person who seemed a little dazed and realized that this was a good opportunity.
Without any hesitation, He Shu seized the opportunity, pushed the person away with all her might, and ran out.
She ran without looking back, darting out the back door, which was the closest one!
Cen Qianyi was unprepared and was pushed back a step, but if she had wanted to, she could have easily pulled the person back… but she didn’t.
She just watched the person’s frantic back disappear, and her brows gradually furrowed.
He Shu ran out the door, past the swimming pool. The clear blue water reflected her panic. She didn’t look back once and sprinted all the way until she reached the beach and had nowhere else to go. She then had no choice but to stop and nervously look behind her.
There was nothing on the beach except for a string of her footprints. Cen Qianyi had not chased her.
He Shu leaned on her knees and let out a heavy breath. That was great. She had escaped!
She had escaped from Cen Qianyi’s grasp!
He Shu sat down on the sand. This morning had been a real thrill. If she had a bad heart, she would have been dead by now.
It was also because her brain, which had just started up, wasn’t working properly. She had actually talked about human emotions with Cen Qianyi!
She was a killer. How could she have emotions… Talking about emotions with her was just asking for death.
After the tension of escaping from death, it felt as if her spine had been pulled out. He Shu simply lay on the sand, with her limbs spread out, and took a big breath.
The sound of the waves was continuous, and the sky was getting brighter and brighter.
The light passed through the room, and the dim yellow circle of light in the corner completely lost its purpose.
But because no one had pressed the switch, it could only stay on, looking very lonely.
It was hoping that the person in the room would notice it and turn it off.
But the human’s eyes didn’t notice it at all.
Cen Qianyi looked at the gradually bouncing-back indentation on the sofa. Before the mark disappeared, she made a move.
She sat in the same spot where He Shu had just been sitting. The spot under her buttocks still seemed to have the lingering body heat of the person. She leaned back against the soft sofa and closed her eyes.
She still found it a little hard to believe the uncontrollable emotions she had just felt for a moment.
When she heard the person say that she had emotions, and that she would not only be sad for those unimportant people, but if she died, she would also be sad…
So, she was no different from that unimportant dead person, was she…
Cen Qianyi opened her eyes, which were filled with a turbulent storm.
She bit her too lightly.
A wave crashed, and the waves on the shore moved forward a large distance.
The cold seawater instantly submerged He Shu’s toes. The coldness made her toes curl up, and the chill swept through her entire body.
She stopped thinking. She had been thinking about why Cen Qianyi had bitten her.
She would actually bite her. She would bite someone when she was angry… This was normal for others, but it was very strange for Cen Qianyi.
He Shu got up, covering her face. She couldn’t figure out why this person had this habit. Her face didn’t hurt anymore. Thankfully, she hadn’t bitten her with all her might… It was a small mercy in an unfortunate situation.
After getting up, He Shu dusted the sand off her back. She had to go to the service center. Mia had introduced it to her before, and she knew the direction.
While walking, He Shu called out to the system in her mind.
“System, what’s going on with all of this? Is the fire this morning related to Cen Qianyi? Was this fire in the original novel?”
“No. This is a development outside of the script that extended from the original characters.”
“Why are none of these people following the script!” He Shu was a little angry. It seemed that only she had all sorts of restrictions and had to unlock her freedom. These people could do whatever they wanted. She put her personal emotions aside and repeated the other half of the question that the system hadn’t answered, “Is the fire this morning related to Cen Qianyi?”
She had a faint feeling that it was related, but she also felt that there was no reason for it. Cen Qianyi had no reason to be bothered by those two people. They had only verbally offended her.
“I’m not sure.”
“Not sure? It sounds like there’s something going on. Do you know something? By the way, you said that after Cen Qianyi hypnotized me last night, she asked me some questions. What did she ask?”
He Shu didn’t know if the hypnosis and the fire were related, but she needed to know about both of them.
The system relayed Cen Qianyi’s questions and He Shu’s answers from last night, including the muted ones.
When He Shu heard that Cen Qianyi had asked her if she wanted to sleep with her, her eyes widened. What kind of question was that? When she heard that she had said no, He Shu nodded. Of course, she didn’t want to.
When she heard that she had been asked who she wanted to sleep with and had no answer, He Shu nodded again. She really didn’t have anyone in mind.
When she heard that she had been asked if she wanted to exchange Cen Qianyi, she broke out in a cold sweat. It was a good thing the timing of the question was a little late. When she heard her answer was no, He Shu felt like she had escaped from death.
After hearing these questions, she felt that she hadn’t offended Cen Qianyi.
“She also asked you how you were planning to “eat” her when you said you wanted to at the restaurant. You just said, ‘That’s how it’s written in the script,’ and then you repeated how you were supposed to ‘eat’ her in the script. I muted all of that for you.”
He Shu was embarrassed. Hypnosis really made her blurt out the truth. It felt so dangerous. She was really worried that one day she would say something truthful and be killed by Cen Qianyi in her sleep.
“She asked you again if you didn’t want to eat her anymore. You said no. When she asked you why, you said it didn’t taste good. When she asked you why again, you blurted out, ‘Because you’re a villain killer.’ Thankfully, I muted that for you. Then she bit you and said you didn’t taste good.”
He Shu was surprised. What kind of strange questions was Cen Qianyi asking? She hypnotized her just to ask these things?
Also, she had already bitten her last night?
Just because she said she didn’t taste good?
And she seemed to have misunderstood what she meant.
“Speaking of which, Host, I’m a little curious. You’ve never eaten her, so how do you know she doesn’t taste good?”
He Shu explained: “When I said she didn’t taste good, that ‘doesn’t taste good,’ sigh, that’s just a common way of saying things where I’m from. For example, ‘this thing is poisonous and doesn’t taste good,’ this ‘not good’ doesn’t mean it tastes bad. It means ‘cannot’ or ‘not allowed’!”
“Oh, I see.”
He Shu: “What happened after that?”
“Then you fell asleep, and Cen Qianyi slept with you. Do you want me to give you a detailed explanation of how you slept?”
“No!” He Shu had already heard it this morning and didn’t want to hear it again. So, the fire at Qin Mengyu’s place had nothing to do with Cen Qianyi?
“We just slept together until dawn?”
“No. Cen Qianyi woke up in the middle and went out.”
He Shu’s eyes widened. As expected, she had a feeling that this matter was not unrelated to her.
“So Cen Qianyi was the one who started the fire?”
“Probably not. She went back to sleep after she returned. Based on the time of the call you received this morning, the fire hadn’t started yet when she returned.”
“Then maybe she had a way to delay the fire, for example, a candle that burned all the way down and ignited something.”
“Then it wasn’t Cen Qianyi.”
She would never kill people in such a troublesome way.
“You sound like you know Cen Qianyi so well. She’s completely different from the book now. Did she bite people in the book? Maybe she wants to try a new way of killing people now.”
The system didn’t argue with her. It was also a little confused now…
Getting angry and biting people was a first for it, too.
He Shu arrived at the service center while talking. She stopped her conversation with the system, walked in with a grim face.
Half an hour later, she walked out with a twisted face. She quickly ran to the pier but was still a step too late.
A speedboat was making a buzzing sound as it sped away. He Shu only saw a quick glimpse of two black bags on the boat.
It was Qin Mengyu and Yu Yun…
He Shu was furious. She didn’t expect the island to be completely unconcerned with how people died. The way they handled it was also very simple.
They took them out to sea and threw them away.
Mia had even smiled and promised to throw them far away, according to the ocean currents, to make sure that no “dirty things” would appear around the island to scare the guests.
He Shu had an argument with her, but it was no use. When she heard that the “people” had already been loaded onto the boat, she thought she might be able to stop it, but she was still a step too late.
Looking at the “people” disappearing on the horizon, He Shu’s eyes were red. She thought of her argument with Mia.
“You should at least send them back home. Their families must want to see them one last time!”
“It’s the island’s rule not to see guests off. Guests who want to leave have to leave on their own.”
“Then you can give them to me. I’ll send them off.”
“How can we trouble a guest?”
“You’re just going to throw them away without any investigation? What if it was murder?!”
“Ms. Qin came to the island yesterday, and she has no conflicts with anyone on the island. The only person she had a conflict with…” Mia smiled and looked at He Shu: “Is you, Ms. He.”
He Shu immediately explained: “It wasn’t me.”
“We will not suspect any of our distinguished guests. The lives on the island are your own. Ms. He, be careful.”
In the end, He Shu couldn’t help at all. She thought of Yu Yun, who had given her a look of gratitude yesterday. She hadn’t expected that yesterday’s meeting would be the first and last time.
Looking at the empty sea, He Shu hugged her arms, feeling very uncomfortable.
She walked back in a daze. When she was almost at her place, she was startled. Cen Qianyi was still in that house.
Now she was the main suspect. He Shu didn’t know how to face her…
She turned back to the beach and lay down on a chair under a parasol.
There were already staff members in blue uniforms on the beach. When they saw her, they brought her various drinks and asked her if she needed anything.
He Shu’s feelings were very complicated. Looking at the staff’s smiling faces, their smiles seemed to have been trained to a standard.
They looked enthusiastic, but in reality, they were cold.
There had been a death on the island, but no one cared. The process was so familiar that He Shu felt that they must have seen these things often.
Seeing that He Shu didn’t want anything, the staff member just considerately put down a bottle of water. She didn’t show any of the curiosity that a normal person should have about her obviously troubled expression and her unchanged pajamas.
They were like emotionless robots, He Shu concluded.
She took a deep breath, her heart feeling heavy. She really wished that everything she was experiencing right now was a dream.
The beautiful blue sea and sky were supposed to be a stunning view, but she wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it.
She took her phone out of her pocket, wanting to call Su Ming, but found that the signal was still bad.
She tried sending her a message, and it went through. She asked Su Ming to look into Yu Yun’s family. There wasn’t much she could do now. If her family was in trouble, she wanted to see if there was anything she could help with.
After waiting for a while, she didn’t get a reply. She guessed that the other person was still asleep. She closed her eyes and started reading the book in her mind. She wanted to see if there were any clues.
Perhaps there were people on the island who had a grudge against these two, most likely against the one with the surname Qin.
She started reading from the beginning of the island plot and found nothing all morning.
The plot of this part was not very detailed. After all, the protagonist of this book was Nie Wen Yu. If it weren’t for Cen Qianyi, the author wouldn’t have bothered to write this part.
Basically, what was described was the interaction between He Shu and Cen Qianyi. There was very little description of He Shu alone. Today was just a single sentence, saying that she left Cen Qianyi in the room and went to socialize and have fun.
She only had one or two sentences, let alone Qin Mengyu. He Shu read through this part of the island plot and didn’t see any interaction between the two.
If there was any, it was that they both attended the banquet held by Yao Bing tomorrow night.
The reason she was sure she attended was that there was a sentence in the original novel where Yao Bing said welcome to the ten new members, and everyone was there.
As for Yu Yun, there was no information at all.
He Shu was a little disappointed after reading it. At the same time, she felt a little uneasy for no reason. This was not the first time she had encountered people dying around her. Starting with Pei Congxin, it was all a departure from the original plot.
She didn’t know the reason for any of them.
But with so many coincidences, there was only one explanation she could think of.
Cen Qianyi.
There was another important plot point on this island. At the banquet tomorrow, she would be noticed by a mysterious person with no name and have her photo taken and sent to a big pervert.
Not long after He Shu and Cen Qianyi returned home, He Shu would be found by someone who demanded that she give the person to them.
He Shu had known about this plot point before but hadn’t read it in detail. This morning, she had seen how the big pervert had tortured Cen Qianyi, and her heart was very uncomfortable.
When she saw that Cen Qianyi had eventually killed the other person, she was genuinely happy for her. When she saw her killing her way back, she quickly skipped the parts where the original host was tortured that she had read before.
This seemed to be an important turning point in the book. After this, Cen Qianyi had a clear change in her.
It wasn’t just her identity. She had originally just been an occasional “killer for hire,” with limited harm. After this, she took over the big pervert’s forces and became a black market arms dealer who was involved in both legal and illegal activities. She also seemed to have completely turned evil.
She not only provided weapons to the poor, causing unrest in the slums, but she also provided bombs to terrorists, causing riots everywhere.
When she saw this, He Shu’s sense of incongruity returned.
She just felt that this was very unreasonable. Cen Qianyi wasn’t a truly pitiful person. She was already a powerful killer. She had only “voluntarily” been tortured by the big pervert to make the other person lower their guard. In this situation, why would she turn evil?
Shouldn’t this kind of plot happen to a truly pitiful person, someone who was tortured and bullied, and who finally gained power? The reason for turning evil would be that they were bullied by the world and wanted to get their revenge.
This book felt pieced together. He Shu wiped her sweat and looked up. The sun was already high in the sky.
She was also hungry. She hadn’t eaten breakfast. Although she wasn’t in the mood to eat, she still had to eat to fill her stomach.
She went into a nearby restaurant, not the one from last night.
After ordering, she thought of Cen Qianyi. She had left in a hurry this morning and hadn’t ordered lunch for her. Cen Qianyi couldn’t get into these restaurants without a wristband… She asked the restaurant if they could deliver, and He Shu had them send the same set meal to her room.
Although it was a little late, breakfast had been delivered to her room this morning, so she had probably eaten it and wasn’t very hungry now.
He Shu’s feelings for her were now very complex, so complex that they were a little disjointed…
She hadn’t come to look for her all morning. She didn’t know what she was doing.
When the doorbell rang, Cen Qianyi was watching TV, changing the channel every second, just “watching.”
When she heard the doorbell, the TV show finally stayed on one channel.
It was playing a movie. The female protagonist in the movie had also just heard the doorbell. When she opened the door, it was her lover, holding a bouquet of flowers and apologizing to her, talking about his struggles from last night, and finally deciding to be with her.
Looking at the female protagonist excitedly shedding tears, Cen Qianyi scoffed at how vulgar it was and then got up to open the door.
Outside, a staff member in a blue uniform from the island had a brilliant smile.
Cen Qianyi’s lips, which had a slight curve, straightened.
When she heard that it was a meal delivery, Cen Qianyi let the person in. The staff member saw the breakfast on the table that hadn’t been touched at all and hesitated before asking: “Guest, should I take these away?”
Cen Qianyi waved her hand for the person to take them away. It was already noon… it was clear that no one was coming back to eat breakfast.
The staff member quickly replaced the things on the table and filled it with lunch.
Cen Qianyi raised an eyebrow at the different plates compared to breakfast.
The staff member explained in a timely manner: “Ms. He ordered a set meal for you when she was dining at our restaurant.”
She took out the dessert from the cart, placed it down, and said with a smile: “I wish you a pleasant meal.”
Looking at the two heart-shaped chocolates decorating the sweet cream, the corners of Cen Qianyi’s eyes twitched slightly. What did this person mean…
In the restaurant, He Shu was finishing her meal. The waiter asked: “Ms. He, should I bring the dessert now?”
He Shu nodded: “Go ahead.”
When she saw the dessert with two pink heart-shaped chocolates, she didn’t really like them. She bit into one and then picked it out and put it to the side, and then she ate the cake.
After lunch, He Shu found another hammock with a parasol, lay in it, and continued reading the book.
She had been wanting to read the original novel as soon as she had time, but she really hadn’t had the time. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have waited until now.
She continued from the part after she “died.”
In fact, whether she was alive or dead, the main plot of the book was about the protagonist, Nie Wen Yu.
After she died, Cen Qianyi completely turned evil and did things without any humanity, making a complete mess of the world.
The opposite of her was the protagonist, Nie Wen Yu.
She looked for righteous partners, fought for her beliefs, investigated people no one dared to investigate, wasn’t afraid of retaliation, and risked her life to bring these criminals to justice.
Seeing her fight for her life again and again, He Shu almost teared up several times. This was the protagonist, the embodiment of justice, someone who would even risk their life for their beliefs.
The rest of the plot was almost all about her investigating cases, catching people, and maintaining world justice. The people she was catching were no longer just ordinary criminals, but evil people who smuggled weapons, illegally produced drugs, and trafficked people.
Seeing her escape from death several times, He Shu was worried for her.
The “cat and mouse” game between her and Cen Qianyi was even more exciting. Several times, she was about to bring criminals to justice, but important witnesses would die mysteriously. After a long investigation, she finally discovered [Yi].
After that, she learned about the Bounty Alliance and was determined to destroy the organization.
The protagonist grew along the way, and the villain’s forces also grew. The later plot was very exciting.
The two were equally intelligent, going back and forth. One of them would win a round, and the other would put them in a checkmate.
After Nie Wen Yu cut off most of Cen Qianyi’s forces, Cen Qianyi also killed all of the protagonist’s group, leaving only the protagonist.
He Shu quickly read to the final battle.
Perhaps it shouldn’t be called the final battle. The book had a rushed ending, and this wasn’t supposed to be the end.
The book only wrote to the part where Nie Wen Yu set up a trap to catch [Yi] and finally found out the true identity of [Yi].
But she didn’t know that Cen Qianyi had done it on purpose.
By the time she realized it, she was the praying mantis, and Cen Qianyi had turned from the cicada into the oriole.
Perhaps using a cicada to describe Cen Qianyi wasn’t appropriate. A hunting eagle was a more fitting description, one with talons that could gouge out a person’s heart.
[On the silent port, gunshots dissipated in the sea breeze.
In the light from the helicopter, on the chaotically stacked containers, two figures stood, one standing and one kneeling.
Cen Qianyi was in all black. Her white, ear-length short hair peeked out from under the black hat, extremely dazzling in the light.
Her fair face had a somewhat listless expression as she quietly looked at the person who was struggling to stand up in the distance.
Nie Wen Yu was covered in bl00d. She was on one knee, and her bloody hand was propped on the ground, not letting herself fall.
Cen Qianyi watched for a while and then moved, jumping a few times to get in front of the person.
Her black leather shoe stepped directly on the person’s already broken fingers. When she heard a painful grunt, Cen Qianyi laughed.
She used her gun to lift Nie Wen Yu’s face. Her pale purple eyes had no smile in them, only a hint of playfulness.
“Why are you so persistent in chasing me? I’m starting to wonder if you’ve fallen in love with me.”
Nie Wen Yu bit the tip of her tongue, forcing herself to stay conscious.
“Fang Nian, Yu Yun, Ye Qi…” She said each word slowly, using all her strength, determined to let these names reach Cen Qianyi’s ears. She hated, she hated so much. Her hoarse voice was mixed with bl00d, and she couldn’t continue.
No one knew their names until they died. No one knew what they had done.
“Why? Why did you kill them?!”
Cen Qianyi looked at the person, tilted her head slightly, and thought with a look of innocence. After a long while, she said in a light tone: “My apologies. I don’t remember. They were all nobodies.”
Nie Wen Yu’s throat was full of bl00d. If her eyes could kill, she would have torn the person to shreds!
“They were nothing to you, but to me, they were my sisters, my family, and my friends who I shared life and death with! For them, I will definitely catch you!”
Cen Qianyi smiled: “You have such a good relationship. Do you want me to send you to join them?”
“It’s me who will send you to see them and repent!”
Cen Qianyi sounded like she had heard a joke: “When they see me, they will only prostrate themselves at my feet and beg me not to kill them anymore.”
After she finished speaking, a feeling of annoyance welled up. It was boring. This was another boring person.
She took back her gun and directly tore off her black robe to wipe the bl00d off it: “You should be glad that you are a little special… Otherwise, you would have died the moment you saw me… just like them.”
“I was curious about why you couldn’t be hypnotized.”
She said as she raised her gun: “Unfortunately, my curiosity doesn’t last long. It has run out now.”
As the words landed, the gun was cocked.
That was it. The book ended there.
It was a life-and-death situation. Usually, the protagonist would definitely be able to save themselves, but this book had a rushed ending!
The system said that Cen Qianyi killed the person cleanly.
When she just read this part, the villain spoke. She thought it would be like the 99% of other novels, where the villain would talk a lot and then be killed.
Usually, villains die from talking too much. This book was probably the same, but it ended with a rushed ending. It just ended there.
He Shu closed the book in her mind. Putting the ending aside for now, she had just seen Yu Yun’s name!
She was surprised. She was actually a member of the protagonist’s group. Then she was the one with the codename “Shark”!
Then how could she have died here?
Could it be that the body wasn’t hers?
‘Ding,’ a sound rang out. He Shu took her phone out of her pocket. It was a message from Su Ming.
Her phone was ridiculous. The signal had been bad since last night. She had tried to video call Su Ming before, but it wouldn’t work. When she asked the security office before, they said that Su Ming’s side was the problem, and her side was fine.
Su Ming was the same. She found that it was hard to send messages. After asking the hotel staff, they said that the signal on the island was bad.
The two sides kept blaming each other, saying it was the other’s problem.
When He Shu saw the message, she was shocked. Su Ming said that the case of the villa had been upgraded. The police had evidence that the dead person hadn’t committed suicide and also suspected Tu Xuan was the murderer, so she was asked to return to the country as soon as possible for an investigation.
He Shu was very surprised. She had seen the person commit suicide with her own eyes. Looking at the messages after Su Ming’s, she was so surprised that she almost couldn’t hold her phone.
The dead police officer’s name was Fang Nian.
This name!
She went back to the last page in her mind. Fang Nian, wasn’t she also a member of the protagonist’s group?
What was going on? She was dead too?
The sun was gradually setting in the west. The sunlight retreated from the shore, and it was a little cold.
He Shu sat up from the hammock. The hammock shook violently. She held her phone, and her heart was beating very fast.
“What a coincidence.”
A clear female voice rang out not far from her. He Shu turned around and saw a head of fiery red hair.
He Shu was stunned for two seconds before she reacted.
“Judy—”
The words “police officer” had not yet left her mouth before the other person interrupted her.
“Just call me Judy.”
He Shu looked at the collar on the person’s neck, her eyes wide. How could she… a police officer… become a plaything?
She walked toward her. Her blue robe fluttered in the wind. He Shu saw the red swimsuit straps on her neck.
Looking at the collar, He Shu knew that there was a red bikini underneath.
What was going on with this person…
The person next to her approached her first: “You’re Ms. He, right? It’s nice to meet you.”
He Shu looked at the person. She had already seen the person next to her.
She was a very young woman, looking to be in her early twenties, with a simple ponytail.
She looked at the wristband on her hand, wondering if she was young and promising or just looked young.
The other person was very friendly and seemed very happy to see her.
“You look better than in the video.”
“Video?”
The other person took out her phone and showed it to her: “Here, this one.”
It was a video of He Shu putting on shoes for Cen Qianyi. When she saw her company in the background, He Shu knew what had happened.
“Look at this. This video has millions of likes. There are over a hundred thousand people in the comments who want to marry you, saying that you’re both a powerful CEO and gentle.”
He Shu frowned. After watching the video, she looked at the person: “You have such a good signal?”
“Huh?”
He Shu’s phone couldn’t play videos, but that wasn’t the point anymore. He Shu looked at the person: “Can you help me report and delete this video?”
She didn’t want to be seen, and Cen Qianyi’s face was also very clear in the video.
“Sure. I’ll have someone take care of it.”
“Thank you. And you are?”
This person had agreed to help without a second thought. He Shu decided to remember this and repay the favor later.
“Ye Qi. Ye Qi from Ruiling Group.”
He Shu didn’t care about the group. She looked at the person in surprise: “Ye Qi? Which ‘Ye’ and which ‘Qi’?”
“Ye from ‘yezi’ [leaf] and Qi from ‘wangqi’ [kingly chess].”
He Shu grabbed the person’s hand: “It’s you!”
Ye Qi was surprised by how excited this person was. Just as she was about to ask, she heard a cold voice from a distance carried by the evening breeze.
Then she saw the person next to her move.
“What are you doing?”
Ye Qi looked back and saw a woman. Oh, it was the other protagonist from the video. The real person was even more beautiful.
But the clothes, Ye Qi frowned, looking at the exaggerated collar. How could there be such an ugly design?
In her surprise, she saw Nie Wen Yu had already walked over to the person.
Ye Qi raised an eyebrow. Something was off.
Nie Wen Yu looked at Cen Qianyi. After observing her, she found that she had no injuries and let out a small sigh of relief.
“We meet again. Are you okay?”
Looking at the collar on her neck, Nie Wen Yu was very unhappy. Thinking of the pain from being electrocuted on the island, this pitiful person must have been very desperate at the time.
Cen Qianyi didn’t look at her. Her gaze was on He Shu and the hand that she was holding of Ye Qi’s.
When He Shu saw Cen Qianyi arrive, she snapped out of her shock from the person being named Ye Qi. When she saw her looking at Ye Qi, she was so scared that she fell off the hammock and pulled Ye Qi to run.
“Hey, hey, hey, Ms. He, what are you doing?”
Ye Qi was pulled and had to walk, looking confused.
Cen Qianyi quietly watched the two figures run into the distance. The corners of her eyes twitched, and her gaze was very heavy.
Nie Wen Yu felt that something was wrong. The pitiful person’s demeanor seemed to have changed a lot. She could even sense a hint of danger.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Cen Qianyi turned to look at her. Her gaze was calm, but it also seemed like a storm was coming.
“Who is that woman?”
