Inside the elevator.
Wang Xia patted her proud chest and said with lingering fear, “Yuer, that was terrifying. My heart almost stopped. That guy was violent! I even heard someone already called the police.”
Tang Shiyu also patted her chest, “Don’t say it. When he chased after us just now, my legs nearly gave out. Let’s hurry upstairs. I bet the police will take him away soon.”
The two looked like they had narrowly escaped disaster. If Ye Chen found out this was the reason, he would definitely collapse on the spot.
And with the Heavenly Dao gone, Ye Chen no longer carried any innate IQ-decreasing aura.
In the previous life, when Jiang Chengye was beaten, onlookers had just quietly enjoyed the show. No one even thought of calling the police.
But things were different now—everyone was using their brains.
If Ye Chen dared to hit someone in public, then people dared to call the police!
The guy was just confessing his love. Yet that security guard acted like he was worth 210,000 yuan and even beat him up!
If the same thing happened to them one day, were they supposed to silently endure it too?!
Back in the office, Tang Shiyu didn’t pick up the documents again.
Instead, she was thinking about what Chen Wu had said—that he didn’t know Jiang Chengye, had no connection with him.
So where had Jiang Chengye gone?
Since graduating college, he had shown up every week to confess to her. For two full years, he never missed a single time.
She took out her phone, wanting to call Jiang Chengye to ask if this was his doing, but she had never taken the initiative to call him.
Her pride made her put the phone down again.
…
Inside the Jiang family villa.
Jiang Zhenhua rushed into Jiang Chengye’s room with his phone in hand.
Jiang Chengye had been sleeping soundly, but was instantly jolted awake by the intrusion.
He stared at Jiang Zhenhua with bleary eyes, practically seeing three question marks over his head.
“You scared the hell out of me!”
Jiang Zhenhua dropped onto the bed and handed over the phone.
Jiang Chengye took it and looked.
Title: “Again… Again… Another Confession.”
What followed was a video taken from above by one of the employees of Tangyu Group, showing Chen Wu and others setting up the scene. New chapters come out on g.com first.
Jiang Chengye immediately snapped awake. What was going on?
Someone was copying his face? Someone was copying his confession?
Even though the setup wasn’t complete yet, he could clearly recognize it—it was his standard confession configuration.
That truck full of Blue Roses, wasn’t that exactly what he used during the scripted events?
And hadn’t they already been hauled off as fertilizer?
Jiang Chengye was completely dumbfounded.
“Wait a second. The Heavenly Dao is gone. Who could be impersonating me now? Could it be that the system lied to me? No… the system has always been reliable. I can’t believe I just doubted him. I’m the worst!”
He muttered to himself. Although the system had always judged him as unqualified, their constant interactions had built a solid bond of trust.
And even at the most critical moments, the system still cared for him, telling him to live happily.
The fact that he doubted the system now made his conscience ache.
“I thought you snuck out to simp again.”
Jiang Zhenhua snatched the phone back and spoke with lingering fear.
Earlier, he had been lying on the sofa scrolling through beautiful livestreamers, planning to drop some tips and become number one on the leaderboard. Suddenly, this video popped up and almost gave him a brain hemorrhage. He thought Jiang Chengye was acting again and had gone back to simping in secret.
He sprinted like a hundred-meter dash to Jiang Chengye’s room.
Only after seeing Jiang Chengye here did he relax. If he hadn’t seen him, he might be hooked up to an oxygen tank by now.
“Dad, I already said I’ve given up. Don’t worry. Your son’s completely moved on. I wasted so much money, and it was all useless. Might as well be like you—find a pretty streamer and drop 10,000 or 20,000 to be number one on the leaderboard.”
Jiang Chengye smiled.
He knew all about Jiang Zhenhua frequently tipping streamers, dropping tens of thousands to have them show up mid-stream like a god.
But you couldn’t blame Jiang Zhenhua. Jiang Chengye’s mother had died during childbirth. At that time, Jiang Zhenhua’s business had just started taking off, and he had no desire to remarry.
He remained single to this day. A man’s needs—well, every man understood.
Jiang Zhenhua never chased after celebrities or young models. He just liked being number one on livestreams!
Jiang Zhenhua coughed awkwardly, “Ahem, ahem. You brat, that’s your old man’s only hobby. And now you’ve gone and picked it up too.” He paused, then added, “Get yourself ready soon. A grown man still sleeping in late—what kind of example is that? Hurry up and find me a daughter-in-law. Our Jiang family’s future depends on you!”
After speaking, he left the room.
As soon as he opened Douyin, countless explosive headlines greeted him.
“A security guard from Tangyu Group detained for intentional assault—reason: displeased by public confession!”
“Redefining the role of security guards: who gave them the right to beat someone up in broad daylight?”
“Beaten while confessing—do you still dare to express your feelings?”
…
Jiang Chengye was completely stunned. That security guard taken away—wasn’t that Ye Chen, our protagonist?!
Even more outrageous, the confessor who got beaten was Chen Wu—one of Ye Chen’s eight enforcers!
Back when they destroyed the Jiang family, Chen Wu was leading the charge.
But now what the hell was happening? Chen Wu, in flip-flops, big shorts, and a white tank top, had gone to confess to Tang Shiyu?!
And Ye Chen had actually beaten him up!
Now even Ye Chen had been taken in for questioning.
What the hell was going on in this world? It had gone mad!
Back when Jiang Chengye got beaten up, no one arrested Ye Chen. But now Ye Chen beat up his own guy and got taken away?
The news was too overwhelming. Jiang Chengye couldn’t digest it all at once.
After thinking for a while and still unable to make sense of it, he threw the phone aside, got out of bed, and got dressed.
Anyway, there was no Heavenly Dao now. No system either. He was a free man. None of this really affected him.
He brushed his teeth, washed his face.
Looking at the incredibly handsome face in the mirror, he couldn’t help but smack his lips in admiration.
He had always been 1.83 meters tall and good-looking, but back then, years of drinking and women had hollowed out his body. When Jiang Chengye took over this body, it was riddled with kidney deficiency. He had to take kidney supplements every day.
When he reported it to the system, it had said things needed to remain realistic!
But after the seal was lifted, the kidney deficiency was gone.
Now, his body was full of strength. His muscles were perfectly defined.
Slim in clothes, muscular without—six-pack abs and two deep obliques.
With a body like this, going at it seven times a night was no problem!
Even if he were a beggar, with this face and physique, he could easily charm a rich woman into celebrating her 60th birthday with him.
