"you……"

Shao Jie's face turned cold.

In the past, I would have already cursed her as a slut.

But now, Shao Jie doesn't dare to curse anymore.

Because he knew that since Wang Ballet could communicate with him through thought, she was very likely right beside him!

A moment later.

Shao Jie's voice was somewhat muffled.

"Wang Ballet, my injuries haven't even healed yet, and you're already planning to abandon me? Do you think you'll be better off without Parkson Group?"

"Do you really think Ye Chu will still want you?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ballet's eyes revealed an unprecedented chill.

With a slight exertion of his arm, he pierced Shao Jie's chest with the spear that his arm had conjured!

Wang Ballet didn't speak, but just stared intently at Shao Jie.

Shao Jie couldn't help but swallow.

"If the contract is terminated, it will have a significant impact on both of us. Are you sure?"

Shao Jie looked into Wang Ballet's eyes, and his lips trembled slightly.

"All right."

I promise you.

"contract……"

"Disarmed!"

……

When Ye Chu and Wang Ballet returned home, it was already evening.

"Holy crap! Ye Chu's gone mad!"

"If the young master of the Parkson Group really dies, you're finished, I'm telling you!"

"Smash it! Smash it!"

The moment Yang Xinba saw Ye Chu, he launched into a tirade of abuse.

"Isn't it better to live a good life?"

"Do you think you, a little brat, can afford to mess with the resources and influence of the Parkson Group?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chu glanced at him.

Yang Xinba immediately shut up.

"Old man, shall we continue?"

Ye Chu spoke coldly.

"No, no."

"I'm just concerned about you. Anyway, you're already a sure thing to get into the martial arts university in Zhenhai City."

"Why do you insist on going to the Shanghai Martial Arts University?"

Yang Xinba's expression changed, and he spoke in the tone of a senior advising a junior.

"Shut up."

Ye Chu pulled Mu Tongyan directly up to the second floor.

Ye Chu had already made plans in his heart, or rather, he had already mentally prepared himself.

But Mu Tongyan did not.

The entire arena fell into an eerie silence as Shao Jie plunged the needle into his own throat.

It was as if a storm was about to break.

When they went out to eat that evening, many people pointed and whispered about Ye Chu and themselves.

As the two approached, they all tried to avoid them.

They clearly looked like they wanted to avoid it at all costs.

Outside, Mu Tongyan kept her composure, naturally wanting to show her timidity in front of others.

But once she got home, Mu Tongyan couldn't hold back anymore.

Once they reached the second floor, she threw herself into Ye Chu's arms, hugged his waist, and began to sob softly.

Her pretty face was pressed tightly against Ye Chu's chest.

"You got scared today, didn't you?"

Ye Chu stroked Mu Tongyan's little head and couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly.

Having lived two lives, I have accumulated nearly forty or fifty years of experience, so my mental fortitude is naturally far superior to that of a normal twenty-something.

Mu Tongyan is just an eighteen-year-old girl.

After all, if Shao Jie were to die, it would be like throwing a boulder into a calm lake, causing ripples that would eventually turn into towering waves, the end of which no one could predict.

Once this matter came to light, the whole world knew about it; it was by no means a grudge or entanglement that could be easily resolved.

What will follow is inevitably a breathtaking, life-or-death storm.

Ye Chu needs to face the nearly enraged Parkson Group, as well as the powerful martial artists behind it.

Anyone would feel immense pressure in this situation.

After a while, Mu Tongyan raised her pretty face, which was covered in tears, pursed her lips, and looked very aggrieved.

He then wrote it down in his notebook.

"We clearly didn't kill Shao Jie."

"He committed suicide."

"Why does everyone treat us like murderers?!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chu couldn't help but smile helplessly.

I had just thought that Mu Tongyan was worried about retaliation from the Baisheng Group.

As it turns out, Mu Tongyan was actually bothered by such a trivial matter.

So, Ye Chu gently cupped Mu Tongyan's cheeks in his hands.

"Tong Yan, let me tell you something."

"Actually, many times, there is no logic to it."

"Just like in the arena today, everyone saw that it was clearly Shao Jie who pierced his own throat with a spear."

"But everyone knows that Shao Jie's death was because of me, Ye Chu."

Upon hearing this, Mu Tongyan nodded thoughtfully.

Ye Chu continued speaking.

"Even if Shao Jie is dead, logically speaking, there is always the possibility of death when participating in a martial arts competition. This is something everyone should be prepared for."

"It's pointless for me to die; it has nothing to do with me, Ye Chu."

"But in this world, only the strong are qualified to talk to the weak about principles."

"If Shao Jie had killed an ordinary young man today, would he have had any reservations?"

"Won't."

Why?

"Because Shao Jie is backed by the Parkson Group, his death would be meaningless."

"Ordinary people have no one to back them up, and no one to stand up for them."

"His death will only become Shao Jie's medal of honor."

"Then why do so many people look at me so strangely if I kill Shao Jie?"

Mu Tongyan shook her head, but her bright, watery eyes remained fixed on Ye Chu.

Like a curious baby.

Ye Chu smiled slightly.

"Because, principles are inherently created by the strong to imprison the weak."

"When reason is not in the interest of the strong, then the strong will no longer respect reason."

"When reason favors the strong, the strong will raise their banner and righteously strangle you."

"Shao Jie is dead, but the Parkson Group behind him will never let me go."

"Because reason is on my side, Parkson Group will no longer reason with you."

"Their only goal was to avenge Shao Jie."

"Everyone, including Wu Hongdao, knows this principle."

"As for whether Wu Hongdao will step in to uphold justice, or rather, uphold this principle, that remains to be seen."

"Perhaps he chose Parkson Group in order to maintain Zhenhai City's GDP."

"It's also possible they were worried about the public outcry and intervened to protect me."

"Actually, it doesn't matter, because these are not things I need to care about."

Ye Chu shrugged.

"A whole bunch of nonsense, Tong Yan, don't listen to your martial arts master."

"My advice is simple: if you disagree, then fight!"

A familiar female voice came from not far away.

It was Chen Wenwen.

At this moment, Chen Wenwen was leaning against the wall, wearing a coat with a hood that almost completely covered her.

A faint, cold glint shone in her eyes as she toyed with a short dagger in one hand.

At first glance, she seems like the kind of girl who is extremely difficult to get along with.

"Ye Chu, I only have one thing to say to you."

"Whoever tries to take you down, I'll take them down for you!"
