Chapter 71: Hopefully Nothing Else Happens

  When she saw the person coming, it was Bai Yicheng. Tóng yán had a somewhat flustered and anxious look. She hastily put on her clothes, slightly averting her gaze. She secretly looked at Bai Yicheng's expression, but saw that he had a painful and unbearable look, with a hint of shock. It seemed as if he was resentful, yet also worried. His face, which was a mix of blue and purple, was extremely uncomfortable to look at.

  Her face was flushed, her heart skipped a beat, and her pulse quickened. Bai Yicheng used to be the man she had a crush on. For him, she once went against her own father, wanting to be with him, but he ruthlessly rejected her.

  She felt her self-esteem was completely trampled by him, and from then on she decided to hate him. She told herself that she had to live better than him, find a man who is even better than him to appear in front of him, be a hundred times more glorious than him, and let him know that she would live an even better life without him.

  But now, when she appeared in front of him with another man, looking at Bai Yicheng's disheveled appearance, her heart didn't feel any pleasure, but instead felt even more uncomfortable and lost.

  No matter if Bai Yicheng's painful expression was due to her self-loathing, at this moment Tong Yan's heart was in extreme torment, like a knife scraping against bone, unbearable.

  It's often only when faced with a desperate situation that one understands the deepest voice in their heart. In fact, she still loves Bai Yicheng. With a childish face and her head hung low, listening to what they said, she didn't have any thoughts. Her expression was very embarrassing.

  Ling Han's expression remained unchanged as he took in everything in the room with a single glance. A faint, disdainful smile escaped from the corner of his mouth. The more he saw the woman's guilt-ridden expression, the more he looked down on her with contempt.

  He let out a snort. Ling Han answered the internal line, preparing to call security to send away those who were not necessary. The security line connected. But immediately, a woman's loud and shrill voice came through. "Brother Han, hurry down! Something big has happened! Someone is standing on the rooftop of the Lingyun Group building and wants to jump!"

  It's Bai Xiaoyu.

  The cold grave is frowned upon. Can't stand Bai Xiao You's careless and brainless behavior.

  Bai Yicheng's eyes widened in shock and astonishment at Bai Xiaoyu's sudden appearance.

  Bai Xiao You had actually heard that her brother was removed from his position and also knew that Bai Yi Cheng came to find Ling Han, so she also prepared to join in. Firstly, it was to plead for her brother's case. Secondly, she had her own little thoughts. She wanted to see Ling Han, even if it was just stealing glances at him from the side.

  Unexpectedly, she was intercepted by security when she was about to enter the CEO's elevator and wasn't allowed in. They even gave her a lot of reasons.

  The president's office is not a place where anyone can enter at will. For example, Bai Yicheng often comes and goes with the president and has been granted special permission by the president, so he can easily enter. There is also a woman, that is, the president's girlfriend, who has also been granted special permission by the president to come and go freely. Apart from these people, others must make an appointment to see the president.

  Bai Xiao pouted, feeling displeased in her heart. That woman wasn't Cold Creek, was she? Obviously, it was her brother who liked that woman, yet she was Ling Han's girlfriend, making her feel very unbalanced inside.

  She then got into a dispute with the security guard, chattering and quarreling insistently to get in. In the end, the security guard was helpless and had no choice but to invite her to sit in the security room. Just as they arrived at the security room, someone outside shouted that there was someone on the rooftop of the Lingyun Group building who wanted to jump off.

  The security guard was flustered and feared that Bai Xiao You would sneak into the CEO's office, causing him to be accused of dereliction of duty. So he locked her in the security room and went outside to check the situation himself.

  Bai Xiao You's butt hadn't even warmed up yet when Ling Han's phone call came over. She was anxious and answered the phone loudly.

  The security guard returned just in time to hear Bai Xiaoyu's words, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He hastily snatched the microphone from Bai Xiaoyu's hand and reported nervously, "President, someone is standing on the rooftop of Lingyun Group, shouting that they want to jump off the building because they were driven to desperation by Lingyun Group... said..." The security guard trembled with fear and couldn't continue speaking.

  "Continue." A cold and intimidating voice came from the other side.

  "He said that Ling Yun Group's CEO, Leng, was ruthless and merciless, dug a trap to make him jump, causing him to lose everything and go bankrupt with debts piling up, forcing him to have no way out but to jump off the building. Brother Han, are you really as heartless and merciless as he said?" Bai Xiao You opened her round black eyes, not daring to believe yet puzzled, and hastily replied.

  "Click." The other end hung up directly.

  "What kind of person is he that you care about? He's really a troublemaker. Get him out here."

  Bai Xiao pouted. She was dissatisfied with Ling Han's behavior of directly hanging up the phone without saying goodbye, and she was dragged out by someone with great force.

  Du Shaohui's face was full of gloom. He roughly pushed her out, pointing at the tip of her nose and said viciously, "Get out, don't stay here and get in the way. There isn't a good person in the Bai family. The farther you roll, the better."

  They are the Lingyun Group. It's not their turn to interfere with Bai's family affairs yet. One of them snatched away Xi'er, and now another one is coming for Ling Han. People from the Bai family are really something else.

  Du Shaohui's heart was racing with anxiety, his anger burning within him. He pushed Bai Xiaoyu away and hastily made his way to the CEO's office. Over the years, through thick and thin, no matter how dangerous or difficult things got, he had always stood by Ling Han's side. The bond they shared, forged in the fire of adversity, was something that no one could ever replace, nor could anyone truly understand its depth...

  Everything that is happening now has obviously stirred up the evil and viciousness in Ling Han's bones. Ling Han has always been calm and composed, unless he was heartbroken and angry to the point where he couldn't control himself, otherwise he wouldn't easily resort to evil and sinister methods, and wouldn't be ruthless and unscrupulous...

  It seems that this time Ling Han has gone all out...

  "Du Shaohui..." Bai Xiaoyou called out behind him, refusing to give up.

  "Don't come any closer, or I'll rip your clothes off right now!" Du Shaoxi suddenly turned around, pointing at Bai Xiaoyu with a menacing glare. In fact, it wasn't really a threat - people like them were simply evil incarnate, with no goodness in their hearts. It was entirely possible for them to overpower a young girl in broad daylight.

  In public. On her.

  Bai Xiao Yu suddenly shut her mouth, a little frightened and surprised, she stopped in her tracks. Indeed, she didn't dare to chase after him anymore.

  Du Shaohui pushed open the door of the president's office, and Tong Yan had already scrambled up to the rooftop in a state of panic. Bai Yicheng also followed him up. Although he was no longer a police officer now, after all, there was still a sense of justice that permeated his bones, preventing murder cases.

  Ling Han sat coldly in front of the computer, watching the video inside. Tong, the CEO of Tong Corporation, stood at the edge of the rooftop, his hands spread out as if about to jump down.

  Du Shaohui understood Ling Han best. He didn't say anything either. He moved a chair and sat down beside Ling Han, watching with him.

  "Lingyun Group's Ling Zong induced our Tongshi Enterprise to sign a contract, but from the very beginning, they had ulterior motives. They hoarded goods and eventually breached the contract, demanding compensation. This has led to Tongshi Enterprise going bankrupt and being deeply in debt, with no way out... How ruthless!..." On screen, General Manager Tong said with his head bowed and feet stomping.

  "Mutt. It's his own greediness. If he hadn't delivered himself to the doorstep of Lingyun Group, clinging on for dear life. If he had enough willpower, how would he have ended up in this predicament? Serves him right." Du Shaohui watched from the side, seething with anger and frustration.

  Refusing to die is dead. Du Shaohui, like Ling Han, has no sympathy either. If it weren't for Tong's own greed and sinister intentions, how could he end up in this situation now?

  With a mind set on plundering the Lingyun Group's vault, they spared no effort in stealing the company's secrets. Although they failed to obtain the secrets, they took away the will of the late chairman. Now, they are hypocritically cooperating with the Lingyun Group, but who knows what kind of intentions they harbor? They deserve to fall into their own trap.

  Du Shaohui watched the video and sneered at it.

  Ling Han was very calm and collected. He just had a cold face and let out a cold laugh.

  Tong Yan and Bai Yicheng persuaded Tong's father on the rooftop for a long time, but he didn't come down. He was puzzled why such a big thing hadn't attracted any media attention. He had originally wanted to make a big deal out of this matter to attract media attention. But now it seems...

  Moreover, Ling Han repeatedly comes out to make excuses and is not even bothered.

  Tong suddenly realized that Ling Han was too powerful, so powerful that everything was under his control. Those media outlets were probably also under his control.

  It seems he really lost. Lost to a younger generation. No face to live on. Maybe death will still cause some attention effect. And won't be chased by debtors with nowhere to escape.

  He suddenly turned his face around, and in his eyes, which had experienced many hardships, was a resolute determination to give up. He spoke very calmly. "Tongyuan, Dad is sorry to you. From childhood, I taught you to pursue fame and wealth. Now it seems that everything was just an illusion... You should live well, being able to live lightly is the greatest happiness..." As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Zong leaped forward.

  "Dad!" A child's voice pierced the sky. Bai Yi rushed over to pull him, but he was heavily injured. His movements were noticeably slower than usual. Still, it was a step too late.

  Dozens of stories high. Fell down. Tong was smashed to pieces.

  Bai Xiaoyu stood at the bottom of the building, watching in horror as a black object fell rapidly from above. Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open in shock, she was at a loss for what to do. She wanted to reach out to catch it, but it was falling too fast, she didn't know how to react. She stood there, frozen in terror, until the dull thud of the object hitting the ground echoed through the air less than two meters away from her. A warm drop splashed onto her face...

  She subconsciously turned her head to look over, and the scene in front of her was a blur.

  "Ah!" she cried out in a loud voice. She was so frightened that she fell to the ground and crawled backward repeatedly... The fear in her heart echoed and amplified like an empty valley.

  Blood. The ground is covered in blood. How frightening. She shivered and trembled, but quickly crawled away from the scene on all fours.

  Looking down at the people below, a childlike heart has been emptied, with an expression as dull and lifeless as despair.

  Looking down at the people below, Bai Yicheng's heart was anxious. He quickly rushed downstairs with a nervous fire in his heart. Hopefully that little girl Bai Xiaoyu wouldn't be frightened out of her wits.

  Looking at the situation on the screen, Ling Han and Du Shaoxi were equally cold-faced and tense, their expressions unreadable.

  On the other side, in a temporary high-end suite, Murong Xiaozi had his legs stretched out very long, with his feet overlapping on the coffee table, leaning back on the sofa like an old man, puffing out smoke rings. A younger brother stood beside him and reported something to him.

  "Is that so? Ling Han has already ruined the Tong family and even forced Tong Zong to his death..." His diamond-shaped mouth corners revealed a hint of a smile. "Ling Han, you've finally made your move. Truly magnificent..."
