Chapter 62: 61 Just insisting on making things harder for oneself!
Even though the perpetrator was caught, it only proved that the assailant was instructed by someone to try to kill him; it was impossible to prove the fact that he had been framed initially.
Yang Ye’s reputation for academic fraud, and charges of indecency with classmates and stealing their money, had been firmly soldered onto him.
"Fortunately, the school’s decision to expel Little Yezi has been temporarily put on hold, and in the end, he only received a demerit. That’s already the best possible outcome."
Yun Ran had done all she could do; the rest was beyond her help.
It was clear that the mastermind behind the scenes also had experts well-versed in the Xuan Sect methods, with no cause-and-effect relationship with Yang Ye before this.
Obviously, they also resorted to cheating tactics, and even she couldn’t locate that person.
"Ordinary people dabbling in these methods will either die or be crippled. From now on, you should avoid going to unfamiliar places on a whim."
Jiang Ruo quickly nodded in agreement; Little Yezi’s incident had nearly scared him to death.
Even if the King of Heaven invited him to unfamiliar places in the future, he would refuse.
"Master, do you sell amulets here?"
Yun Ran didn’t feel Jiang Ruo was wrong to be frightened. There’s nothing wrong with a person wanting to properly protect themselves.
"Yes!"
Hearing this, both Jiang Ruo and Yang Ye visibly relaxed, asked for the price, and quickly took out their phones to scan and pay.
After receiving the amulets, the two spared Yun Ran from any further delay at her stall and tactfully left.
[Host, will this person behind the scenes still make a move against that unfortunate one?]
Yun Ran spoke with confidence: "He wishes he could, but, the person who previously did the work for him is at least seriously injured by now.
If he makes another move, he will definitely expose himself; I will take them all down at once!"
She was now worried that the other party wouldn’t strike out, remaining hidden, waiting for the day when he could clash with her.
-----------------
In a self-built house near University City, a middle-aged man with nearly no flesh on his face watched his necrotic hands with a sinister gaze.
He knew he had suffered backlash; someone had found an expert to counter his methods. Had it not been for the scapegoat he found, the expert would surely have traced back to him.
An automatic video call popped up on the computer in the room, but the person on the other end did not show their face, shrouded in darkness.
"You said it was foolproof, didn’t you? Now the police are involved, and they’ve caught someone red-handed. I paid you 10 million!"
The man was already extremely annoyed by the backlash he suffered, and now he was being questioned.
In the past, he wouldn’t care about any employer and would have just killed everyone; a mere commoner daring to stand up to him!
"It’s your fault for not investigating thoroughly. He has an expert by his side who broke my ghostly barriers, and he also has an amulet. Otherwise, he would have been dead within a week!"
The employer also felt particularly irate at the moment; with Yang Ye still alive, all their subsequent plans were disrupted.
"I don’t care; you must figure out a way to kill him. I’ll give you one more month, or don’t blame me for not being polite!"
The man sneered and hung up the call: Of course, he would take revenge, but not now!
Yang Ye was indeed extremely talented, holding a set of special algorithms, but resolutely refused to sell them, insisting on donating the technology free of charge.
This would lead to a qualitative leap in the relevant industries, but for some, this was infringing on their cake.
Those coveting the algorithm had used every means possible, and now controlled 80% of its core.
Once Yang Ye was discredited and his life or death was uncertain, the algorithm would completely fall into their hands.
Just when success was within reach, Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere.
Now, Yang Ye had wised up, sensing that his peril stemmed from the algorithm, and had surely taken some fish-or-net-breaking self-protection measures.
Any further surprise attacks were clearly impossible, they even didn’t dare use the data they already held.
If they dared, Yang Ye would dare to make the core of the algorithm public, and then the losses would be far from mere severity.
Old Liu glanced at the time; it was almost noon. Other stalls around had people coming and going, but their Miss’s stall was still quiet and lonely.
"Miss, I’ve ordered delivery from a private kitchen for you. Would you like to eat here or in the car?"
[Host, your treatment has really improved, huh? Now you even get to eat from private kitchens that don’t do delivery; truly a different lifestyle of the wealthy.]
Of course, it would have been better without hearing Ginsengfruit salivating.
"Just deliver it here. What’s the point of eating in the car?"
In less than ten minutes, the delivery arrived. Old Liu somehow managed to find a simple table, setting up the five dishes and one soup, giving the feeling of a picnic. freēnovelkiss.com
This arrangement made Yun Ran’s perception of Old Liu improve a lot; he truly earned his high salary from the Yun Family.
After a full meal, Old Liu cleaned up and went to eat, while Yun Ran leaned against her stall, dozing off.
"Do you really predict very accurately?"
Yun Ran opened her eyes and saw a man in a suit standing in front of her stall.
Of course, if this man’s eyes weren’t bloodshot, he could have been considered a talented white-collar worker.
"You’ll know after I do it."
The man forced a stiff smile: "You’re right!"
He sat down and pulled out his phone, an old model from five-six years ago; seeing that he was still using it indicated his financial situation might not be too good.
The notification chime of a WeChat payment sounded.
Before Yun Ran could react, the surrounding stall owners perked up their ears.
Despite losing potential ’business’, they also had a curiosity for gossip, wanting to know if this man would encounter the same trouble as that woman last time.
Even passersby stopped in their tracks; people couldn’t help it since before this stall had been empty due to high prices.
Now that someone finally came, their curiosity was naturally piqued.
But feeling embarrassed to come over directly, they slowly shifted closer.
Finding their own excuses, they murmured, "This is the first time I’ve thought that the river view from this spot is quite nice."
"Yes, indeed."
Yun Ran: ...
If you want to eavesdrop on gossip, just listen; there’s no need to put on a show!
At the moment, the man felt none of the embarrassment of being watched. He even seemed a bit dazed.
If it weren’t for his polite payment just now, Yun Ran would have thought, in his current state, he seemed to be sleepwalking.
"I want to know if I still have a chance to live."
