Chapter 1169: The Boss Is Out (37)
After the Qi Yun Bar expanded, its business got better. It was the most popular establishment on the street. Even the entertainment city lost to it.
The more popular you get, the greater the possibility of someone creating trouble for you.
However, the entire underground world was under Ming Shu. Nothing big would happen to her.
All the other bosses could only watch her earn more money.
Yu Jing ended his meeting and went to the bar. The atmosphere inside was lively. He walked past the people dancing and went to the counter.
A bunch of people walked toward him. They were discussing something. Yu Jing wanted to ask them to move.
“Boss!”
“Boss, this way!”
A loud shout came from the front. It rang above the sound of the music and landed in his ears.
Yu Jing looked up. Just as he looked up, the bunch of people walked in front of him. One of them b.u.mped into him.
Yu Jing was in a daze when the person knocked into him.
However, when shouts rang among the crowd and people started scattering away from him, he regained his senses. He looked at the floor.
A person was lying with a knife in his abdomen. Blood was flowing out of the wound.
Yu Jing squatted down and applied pressure to the person’s wound. “Hang in there.”
He turned and shouted at the crowd. “Call the ambulance!”
…
At the hospital…
Ming Shu leaned against the emergency room door. Yu Jing was sitting on the long bench at the side. He was looking at the floor. The other workers of the bar sat beside him.
The police were standing on the other side.
Yu Jing took out a cigarette and placed it in his mouth. He clicked the lighter a few times but didn’t light up the cigarette.
Someone suddenly took away his cigarette. Ming Shu squatted in front of him and held his hands. “I’m here.”
Yu Jing wanted to smile but he couldn’t.
Ming Shu sat beside him and allowed him to lean on her.
“The person lying inside should be me.”
Ming Shu looked at the emergency room. “Yu Jing, you said that you could handle everything yourself. That’s why I let you do it.”
“Yes… I thought I could.”
“Let me handle the rest of it.”
Yu Jing clenched his fists. Why… was he so useless?
He couldn’t even deal with his own issues.
“Am I useless?”
“…” Ming Shu swallowed the words she was used to saying. She pondered for a moment before saying, “You are useful to me.”
Yu Jing was in a bad mood so he didn’t react to what she said.
Ming Shu patted his back lightly.
Pa—
The light on top of the emergency room turned off. The doctor came out and announced to the nervous crowd, “He is out of danger.”
“That’s good.”
“He’s fine.”
“I was so scared…”
Ming Shu hugged Yu Jing. “Everything is fine.”
The police wanted to question them, but no one knew what happened. Ming Shu was inside the bar, but she didn’t see what happened, either.
The only person who knew the details was the victim in the emergency room.
However, he just finished his operation and was still unconscious. Everyone went back after the police finished their questioning.
Ming Shu left with Yu Jing. She kept telling herself that she needed to take care of him because he lost his memory. She resisted the urge to knock him unconscious and coaxed him to sleep.
…
The next day, the person who got stabbed woke up. Ming Shu came to look for him. Brother Long was there too. He was talking to the person.
“Sister Qi.”
“Sister Qi.”
Ming Shu took out a card and gave it to him. “Thank you.”
The person scratched his head. This action caused his wound to start hurting again so he put his hand down immediately. “You told me that there might be danger at the start. I took this mission for the money. If I really died, I’d just be unlucky.”
Ming Shu nodded. “Have a good rest. If you need anything, tell Brother Long.”
“Did you see the person that attacked you?”
“The light was too dim and he hid among the crowd. I manage to see the knife. If I hadn’t, I would not be able to save Mr. Yu.”
Ming Shu looked at the surveillance image. The light was too dark and there were too many people. Hence, she couldn’t tell who did it.
[Guest, it’s Yu Ting.]
Ming Shu: “…”
Why are you being so kind?
[Hatred Points,] the system replied blatantly.
Ming Shu: “…” So you will tell me anything if you can gain Hatred Points from it, right?
As expected of the Harmony System!
You are still the same!
You didn’t change at all!
Ming Shu didn’t expect herself to be a step too late.
When she reached Yu Ting’s house, he was already gone.
…
Three days later, Ming Shu received a piece of news. Yu Ting was found in an abandoned factory. He still had a breath of life left. He survived in the end but something went wrong with his mind.
Ming Shu: “…” So I don’t have Hatred Points anymore?!
Ming Shu guessed that Yu Jing attacked her snacks coupon behind her back again, but he denied it.
Very soon, another piece of news came. Yu Ting was just a puppet. Yu Yi was the one controlling everything.
At the start, he only wanted to kill Yu Jing.
Yu Yi knew that Yu Jing had another will in hand. He overheard what the old master said.
Yu Yi had a huge ambition. He wanted the entire Yu family company.
The will in Yu Jing’s hand was like a bomb that could explode at any moment. Yu Jing was his greatest obstacle.
Hence, he needed to get rid of both of them.
After Yu Ting followed Yu Yi, Yu Yi repaid his debt and even gave him some money. Was he so kind-hearted?
No. Actually, he was the one that sent the people to teach Yu Ting gambling.
Hence, Yu Ting got even more addicted to gambling. He even started taking drugs.
Yu Yi just needed to sow some dissension among Yu Jing and him and easily got Yu Ting to kill Yu Jing.
It was a perfect plan. However, he never expected someone to block the knife for Yu Jing.
There was not enough evidence so he escaped from the police.
Just as he thought that he escaped, he was thrown into a gunnysack.
…
One year later…
Yu Yi sat on the sofa with a crying baby beside him. He shouted impatiently, “Why are you crying?”
“Are you crazy? Why are you shouting at the baby? He’s your son.”
Yan Xue came out and scolded him.
“If it weren’t for you, I would not be in this state. How dare you shout at your son. If you’re so powerful, why don’t you go back to your Yu family?”
“Shut up!”
“Why should I shut up? Everything on you was bought by me. If it wasn’t for me, you would not have a descendant at all. Look at you. Do you think you are still the Young Master of the Yu family?”
Yan Xue got more agitated as she talked. She could have had a good life, but because of these people, she ended up in a bad state.
The Yan family went bankrupt half a year ago. Her parents couldn’t handle the blow and died not long after.
Yu Yi looked at her coldly. As the baby cried, Yu Yi and Yan Xue started fighting.
That baby grew up amidst their fighting. He didn’t learn any good things. When Yan Xue and Yu Yi were old, their child would scold and hit them. They led a sad life.
