I’ll Add Points To All Things
chapter-236

Tang Dafa was shaking. It was unclear if it was from anger or fear, but he sat down on the couch and said, "So now what! What are we going to do with you like this!"

Chen Ye took a deep drag on his cigarette. "I'll call my dad and let him handle it."

He exhaled the smoke, his eyes flickering."You don't understand, now that both are dead, we can double down and say it was an accident. If one dies and one lives, we'll get found out for sure. There are too many clues and loopholes to plug!"

Saying that, he looked toward Tang Dafa. "Fatty, if things end up being too overwhelming, you have to take everything on."

Tang Dafa shivered and looked at Chen Ye in fear. "Young Master Chen!"

Chen Ye waved his hand and looked at Tang Dafa like a wolf, holding the cigarette between his hands and lighting it with a vacant look. "If you go in, we can fish you out. But if I go in and something happens to my dad, you won't be able to escape. Who will be able to save us then?"

Tang Dafa was silent, his two fat hands rubbing one another.

Chen Ye put the cigarette in his mouth and sat on the sofa. "You've already seen Luo Rongrong upset, right?"

Tang Dafa's body trembled.

Chen Ye looked at him carelessly. "But she's your wife, and you owe your father-in-law's family for being where you are today. Even if you're angry at her, you're afraid to speak up against her. Even the gold shop you've been running for so many years is technically her property."

Tang Dafa's was clenched tight.

Chen Ye continued, "If that day really comes. We'll support you when you're released as long as you take the blame for everything. Then, you'll never have to look at your father-in-law's face again. With us, he won't dare to retaliate. Isn't that a simpler way for your come back?"

Chen Ye leaned forward. "What do you think?"

Tang Dafa's eyes showed the internal struggle he had..

The more Su Yang looked, the more confused he became. 'What did he mean when he said killing one or two girls made no difference? Now, he's asking Tang Dafa to take the blame? What the hell happened? Did I miss any memories?'

Su Yang was puzzled as he searched forward for his memories. This time, he searched for a long time and finally found an inconspicuous and short-lived memory in a corner.

After Wang Shan left, in the middle of the night, Chen Ye's bedroom phone suddenly rang in the middle of the night while he was asleep.

Chen Ye frowned and rolled over, not wanting to pay attention to it. However, the phone kept ringing like a life-threatening bell.

Chen Ye was so angry that he threw his pillow aside, picked up the phone and cursed, "Who the fuck are you?! Can't you see what time it is?!"

Su Yang looked at the watch on the wall. It was three o'clock in the morning.

A man's low voice sounded over the phone. "Young Master Chen, something's happened."

Chen Ye asked with an irritated face, "What's the matter?"

The man whispered, "There were two security guards there at the artificial lake who rescued a girl. They said she and her partner were attacked after they were thrown into the lake."

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes. "What does it have to do with me?"

The man replied, "That woman said her name is Wang Shan, and that she's your friend."

"Friend? I don't know this person." Chen Ye was a bit careless at first. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, "What did you say?! Two women? One dead?"

The man replied hesitantly, "Yeah. Yes."

Chen Ye said without missing a beat, "Wait for me! I'm on my way!"

At the artificial lake in the dark of night, Wang Shan was shivering with a shirt on while squatting on the ground. A strong man commanding two security guards was fishing with a bamboo pole by the lake.

Chen Ye walked over, and the strong man stopped what he was doing as he walked over to him.

Chen Ye asked, "Any results yet?"

The big man whispered, "No. The one who's alive knows nothing. The only thing she knows is that she was knocked unconscious in the neighborhood but there's nothing on surveillance."

"The dead one, whom we are still trying to fish out, is probably already dead."

He paused and added, "The living one was also lucky to hold onto a piece of wood just right when she was thrown into the lake or she'd be dead too."

Chen Ye looked at the lake, licked his lips, and took two deep breaths. "Did you call the police?"

The strong man whispered, "No."

Chen Ye shifted his gaze to the left and looked at Wang Shan who was squatting on the ground with her hair still damp. His eyes flickered a few times and a hesitant look appeared on his face.

He considered the matter for a full five minutes, and finally all expressions disappeared, leaving only coldness, and he waved toward the strong man.

The two of them walked to the distance, and Chen Ye said, "Deal with both of them."

"Two?" The strong man was shocked.

Chen Ye looked at him and said in all seriousness, "Don't think I don't know what you've done all these years. It should be simple for you guys. What? Are you afraid I won't be able to afford it?"

The strong man had a smile on his face. "That's not true. We never suspected Young Master Chen's abilities."

"It's just that..." The big guy hesitated. "It's luck that the girl is alive, really..."

Chen Ye glared at him, his eyes all fierce. "What do you know! They've got marks from my beating and from my house! Once the autopsy is done, I have a hundred mouths to feed!"

He lowered his voice and hissed, which made his voice extra hoarse. "Drown them for two days, then call the police. All the evidence will be gone by then, and I'll get my connections to get a suicide verdict first. If I can't hide it in the end, it's fine. After all, the evidence about me is long gone anyway!"

"As for what happens after that, it's none of my business how the investigations turn out! After all, I had an alibi for the time they had the accident! If they're going to find anyone, they'll find the man who threw them into the lake!"

Chen Ye looked at Wang Shan, all madness showing in his eyes. "If she were alive, she'd be a victim and an eyewitness! Do you think the investigation will ask her why she's here? Will you ask her about her wounds? Will they investigate everything that happened to her?!"

Seeing that the big man had understood him, Chen Ye patted the big man's shoulder. "Come collect the money after it's done."

Afterward, Chen Ye turned around and walked into the darkness, never looking at Wang Shan again. Su Yang stood behind Chen Ye, looking at Wang Shan who was still squatting on the shore while shaking, eyes full of helplessness. She did not know she was about to die after a lucky break. Su Yang's eyes were full of grief..

Su Yang looked toward Chen Ye!

'The bastard!

'I'll personally destroy him!

'Not just to make him pay! But to destroy everything he has!'

...

The memory ended and a few tears seeped out of the corners of Su Yang's eyes as reality continued. Chen Ye was laughing and happily walking into that club.

While Wang Shan drowned in the artificial lake and died forever....

Su Yang clutched the hourglass in his hand tightly.

The two black-clothed men in front of the clubhouse door seemed to have sensed the abnormality, looked at each other, and stepped forward to block Su Yang's view. "Hello, sir, what is your business here?"

Su Yang put his anger at the bottom of his heart, looked up at the two men in black and smiled incomparably sincerely on his face. "It's nothing, my shoelace came undone," Su Yang said. Su Yang tidied up his shoelaces, then stood up and walked forward. The two black-clothed men followed him closely in an attempt to steer him away from the private club....

Su Yang had been suppressing his feelings without revealing anything.

In the virtual space back home, Su Yang clenched his fist and smashed it on the coffee table. "F**k!"

This experience of watching firsthand from a memory was so vicarious that Su Yang empathized with Wang Shan's misfortune! Every time he closed his eyes, it was as if he could see Wang Shan squatting by the lake with a helpless expression on his face.

Su Yang's gaze grew colder and colder, and his face became more and more expressionless.

He returned to the study room, then called Little Deeny to the study room. Both of them discussed for a full five hours before Su Yang returned to the room with an expressionless face. Little Dee left the room after Su Yang, holding a videotape in her hands while looking at Su Yang's back with a worried face.

The next day, Su Yang returned to school to continue his exams. Meanwhile, more information about the drowning at Longteng Jiayuan, Shanghai began popping up on the Internet, some posting sites, microblogs, and video sites.

These information were all in the third person perspective where two female college students were brought to Longteng Jiayuan, and unfortunately fell into the water and died two days later.

The post even included photos of the girls' unseen injuries. At the end of the post, there were slight mentions of some information about Chen Ye, sidetracking people to lead them to correlate the matter with Chen Ye.

This kind of insider post was the most eye-catching, so it slowly began spreading on the internet. However, people from the Shanghai authority dealt with it quickly, possibly from the influence of the last Junqing incident. Almost as soon as this information began to go viral, the information began getting removed on a large scale.

In the end, this incident was even classified as a banned word and as long as any content was related to it, it would be censored. Everything was like a stone sunk into the sea.

However, Su Yang's intent was not to attract the attention of ordinary people....

At the end of the day, Su Yang finished his exams but didn't go home. Instead, he took a taxi to Longteng Jiayuan again. Tonight, Chen Ye went out as well, and Su Yang followed him all the way. Looking at him from afar, he used the hourglass again to check on his memories...

At the same time in Shanghai, three middle-aged men were dining at a certain dining table.

The door was closed tightly as a secretary and driver waited outside the door.

One of the squarish-faced men took a sip of water and said, "Have you heard about the incident in Longteng?"

Another man in his forties, with a somewhat receding hairline looked up and replied, "I heard about it. As soon as it happened, it was reported from down below."

The man with a square face took a sip of water and said, "It's going to kill Old Chen if his kid really did this."

The man with the receding hairline chuckled. "What do you care? That's Old Chen's family matter. Let's just watch the show."

The man leading the group coughed and put his chopsticks on the table. "Old Xu is right. Let's watch the show first. I've always felt that this wasn't the handiwork of an ordinary person, so maybe someone is behind it. Let's not be pawned off by someone."

The man leading the group paused for a moment and tapped his fingers on the table a few times. "However, now is a crucial time. If something really happened to Old Chen, then we can also slightly... 'Help' out a little." He intensified his tone on the word "help".

The other two smiled at each other and nodded their heads.

The meal ended and the three men went home.

The squarish-faced man, who lived in a two-roomed room, made a cup of tea in the living room and went to the study.

Putting the teapot on the table, he habitually turned on his computer and clumsily logged on to QQ, intending to play two rounds of QQ Fight The Landlord. This was his go-to-game to pass the time in the office.

The QQ game hall just opened when a QQ email alert popped up on the bottom right corner.

The man with the squarish face carelessly tried to close the notification and moved his mouse towards the [X] symbol. However, he was stunned and as his eyes widened more and more, he became utterly shocked.

Tonight, the large net laid out by Su Yang slowly spread out...
