nShe said ‘Rong Shengming’, not ‘Grandfather Rong’…
n
nBut what happened just now was shocking. Other than Rong Shengming himself raising his head with a puzzled look, no one else noticed anything unusual.
n
nDirector Yan valued Su Ye so much. How could Liu Bi refuse such a small request?
n
nRong Ruo did not dare to say anything. Her school uniform was full of wrinkles.
n
nInitially, she was quite unconvinced that she was in trouble. However, ever since Director Yan said that as long as Su Ye wanted to pursue the matter, she might be sentenced to several years in prison, she was completely dumbfounded..
n
nAfter everyone left, Su Ye walked to the door and closed it casually.
n
nRong Shengming’s turbid voice sounded from behind, “What do you want to talk to me about?”
n
nSu Ye was also leaning against the door, her posture a little lazy. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Rong Shengming, who was sitting on the chair.
n
nAll the humiliation that the grandfather and granddaughter suffered today was caused by her.
n
nAlthough this was nothing compared to the experience of her father, Su Chenzhuo, in the past.
n
nSu Ye lowered her gaze, but her tone was very relaxed. “Let’s talk about… what happened in the past.”
n
nRong Shengming subconsciously raised his head to look at her.
n
nHis shocked and confused expression seemed as if he could not believe what he had heard.
n
nSu Ye took two steps towards him and went straight to the point. “Who ordered you to make those false testimonies to the media back then?”
n
nAs soon as she finished speaking, Rong Shengming’s entire body stiffened.
n
nHow did she know about that?!
n
nCould it be that Su Jinyang told her about it? But how old was Su Jinyang back then?
n
nRong Shengming avoided her gaze and didn’t dare to look her in the eye.
n
nAn inexplicable light flashed in her eyes, as if she could see through him, making him feel a little afraid.
n
nThis feeling felt familiar…
n
nHe didn’t know what to think, but Rong Shengming hesitated for a while and then said cautiously, “Who exactly are you?”
n
n“Who am I?”
n
nSu Ye touched her chin, and the corners of her lips curled into a sly smile. “I’m Su Ye.”
n
nShe answered, but it was the same as not answering.
n
nThey were both called Su Ye, but which Su Ye was she?
n
nThe more nonchalant she was, the more Rong Shengming felt his scalp go numb and his whole body trembled. He changed the way he asked, “What’s your purpose in asking about what happened back then? !”
n
nSu Ye felt that his questions were very stupid. “Of course it’s to avenge my great-aunt and great-grandfather.”
n
nRong Shengming laughed self-deprecatingly. He almost thought that the person had returned. He stabilized his trembling hands. “If you want to seek justice, find someone else. What testimonies? I didn’t do it! I don’t know!”
n
nSu Ye knew that he was going to do this. She smiled brightly. “Alright, you can’t answer my questions. I’m in a bad mood, so I can only pursue your granddaughter’s case.”
n
nRong Shengming gritted his teeth when he heard this.
n
nRong Ruo was really ruining things.
n
nHe thought for a moment and sneered. “Do you think that our family will be afraid…”
n
nHe suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He wanted to say that the Rong family was not unfamiliar with the police station, but in the blink of an eye, the person his son knew was just a small police station chief.
n
nIn front of Director Yan, he had to think twice before saying a word.
n
nMoreover, what had just happened had thoroughly offended the Zhai family. The Rong family was probably going to…
n
nHe seemed to have thought of something and suddenly had some confidence. He raised his head and said, “Don’t underestimate us too much. Do you think that we won’t be able to do it without those collaborations? We still have…”
n
n“A few factories in the suburbs that are heavily polluted?” Su Ye said.
n
n“You!” Rong Shengming never expected Su Ye to think of that as well. Besides, she even knew about the factory being heavily polluted…
n
nOh no, no wonder Director Yan left early..
n
nHe had to inform Rong Qishan as soon as possible and ask him to deal with it fast! He had to protect the factories!
n
nJust as he was thinking about it, his phone suddenly rang.
n
nIt was Rong Qishan calling.
n
nRong Shengming ignored Su Ye’s presence and picked up the call.
n
nJust as he was about to speak, he heard Rong Qishan wail, “Oh no, Dad! The higher-ups have sealed up our factories! They’re saying that our pollution levels are too high! They’re even going to fine us a huge sum of money!”
n
n“Director Yan did that?”Rong Shengming immediately stood up from his chair.
n
nRong Qishan denied it.
n
nRong Shengming’s expression softened. “If it’s not him, then it’ll be easy…”
n
nHowever, he didn’t even relax for a second, Rong Qishan continued, “They’re… They’re more powerful than Director Yan… it was… It was director Yu who personally came down to investigate… I heard him reporting to someone on the phone, and he called that person Mr. Bo in a respectful tone… Dad, the Mr. Bo he mentioned couldn’t be… that kid, Yunli, right? He is rich, but it’s not to the extent that director Yu would treat him that way, right? Dad! Who did we offend?”
n
nHearing his son’s flustered tone, Rong Shengming suddenly lost his strength and dropped his phone on the floor.
n
nThe room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Although his phone was not on loudspeaker mode, Su Ye heard the whole conversation.
n
nShe frowned and unhappily sent a text to Yan Zhengwei.
n
nThere’s no need to go to the suburbs anymore. Someone has done it in advance.
n
nRong Shengming was utterly disheartened. His eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Su Ye.
n
nHe thought about it again and again, but Su Ye had blocked all the roads…
n
nNo matter what, Rong Ruo was his only granddaughter, and he could not sit by idly.
n
nFrom what Su Ye had said, she was already fully confident about what had happened back then.
n
nEven if he did not say it now, Su Ye would not let him off either. Perhaps he would cause the Rong family to suffer even more. At that time, he would still have to say it..
n
n“I… I’ll tell the truth…”
n
nTen minutes later, Su Ye came out of the office.
n
nRong Shengming admitted to his actions back then. He admitted that he had the guidance of an expert behind him. He also promised that if Su Ye would need him in the future, he could testify at any time.
n
nIn any case, he had already lost everything.
n
nUnfortunately, the person who had instructed him to do these things had been contacting him unilaterally through email.
n
nHe did not know the true identity of that person. He only knew that that person was related to Skynet. He did not know the exact authority of that person.
n
nSu Ye knew that Rong Shengming was not lying. If not for that, with the Rong family’s status, he would never even know what Skynet was.
n
nSkynet…
n
nThe chip…
n
nIt had been a long time since she had heard those words…
n
nIt seemed that she would have to wait until he got her inheritance back.
n
nFortunately, she had a someone on her side, so it would be much faster.
n
nIn less than a day, Director Yan forcefully refuted the rumors for Su Ye and revealed Rong Ruo’s true identity. The news had already spread around the school. The discussions outside were insanely heated. Those who had previously badmouthed Su Ye in class felt that it was quite a slap in the face. As the center of the conversation, Su Ye was very calm and had already started to busy herself with other things.
n
nAt 4:30 PM, ‘Society’s Master Zhai’ joined the Grandpa Group.
n
nTen minutes later, ‘Anti-Vice and Anti-Corruption, Society Depends on Everyone’ joined the Grandpa Group.
n
nAnti-Vice and Anti-Corruption, Society Depends on Everyone: Hello everyone, I am the Chief of the Kyoto Police Bureau, Yan Zhengwei, please take care of me.
n
nOne second later, ‘Society’s Master Zhai’ changed his WeChat name to ‘The Law-Abiding Little Zhai’.
n
nAlthough Zhai Siqiao and Yan Zhengwei were younger than Bo Zhan and the others, they were old enough to be grandfathers in ancient times.
n
nSu Ye left the Grandpa Group with satisfaction. Her gaze swept across WeChat.
n
nThen, her fingers paused and sent out a message.
n
nHer Ancestor: Did you ask someone to seal off the Rong family’s factories?
n
nThe other party replied in a second.
n
nTreasure Basin: You’re welcome.
n
nSu Ye’s mouth twitched. He stole her lead and even asked the director who was a level higher than Weiwei to work for him.
n
nShe was quite unhappy.
n
nHe was still ‘You’re welcome’ though.
n
nDid she thank him?
n
nShe couldn’t help but want to ridicule him, but considering that he had helped her after all, she couldn’t be too mean.
n
nHer Ancestor: I am embarrassed.
n
nAfter sending the message, she put on his headphones, opened her brand-new physics book, and scribbled.
n
nShe definitely couldn’t understand it.
n
nThree minutes later, the screen lit up again with a new message.
n
nTreasure Basin: Good, I will pick you up from school tonight.
n
nSu Ye stared at the message for a few seconds, puzzled.
