Chapter 294 - 289: Death is the Release

Chapter 294: Chapter 289: Death is the Release

The message exploded online, and Ji Tian’s phone nearly burst.

Especially the online public opinion, which was completely on Ji Tian’s side.

They liked to rant online, but they weren’t fools.

To kill themselves then throw the blame onto Ji Tian, making her carry the stench? They must be sick in the head; no wonder they ended up in a mental hospital, because lunatic actions are abnormal.

Moreover, in F-country, if she hadn’t gone crazy herself, Ji Tian and Qin Jiangsheng wouldn’t have fallen off the cliff while chasing them, she was safe for a whole month and then suddenly started slinging mud.

Ji Lingyun initially wanted to dampen the heat, but the online voices were quite peaceful, and even cursed the Hang Family into the mess, which instantly reassured him, and he even spent money to hire a team of online trolls for encouragement.

Ji Tian didn’t take it to heart at all, she was in Capital City, while Hang Mengting was in Central Continent, there was no way to connect them.

The thing didn’t even get much publicity before fizzling out by itself, the Hang Family people retracted it from the trending searches, and they didn’t even come forward to say anything about it.

Since they didn’t care, then Ji Tian cared even less.

The only one was Li Meng who later sent her a message with apologies, "Sorry, Mengting’s matter has caused you trouble, but she has passed away, I hope you won’t hold her past impetuousness against her."

Ji Tian didn’t respond to him, she wanted to say that she didn’t have the time to hold grudges about so much.

Because of the winter break, Jian Chuyi invited Ji Tian out three times before successfully getting her to come out, starting with asking about Tang Yu’s news.

She quickly raised her hand, making a stop gesture, "Look Miss Jian, you’ve been going on about my cousin for over a month. How about this, I arrange a video call with him for you?"

Jian Chuyi was initially stunned, then blushed and shyly said, "Is that okay? Will it affect cousin’s work? I mean, a meeting would also be no problem."

Ji Tian: "..."

Well, a damsel who forgets friendships at the sight of a man.

So Ji Tian accompanied Jian Chuyi in the cafe, watching her make a video call to Tang Yu for an hour.

Tang Yu kept wanting to hang up, but Jian Chuyi wouldn’t let him, so they ended up chatting for so long.

Ji Tian, bored, propped her chin and looked out the window.

Then she saw a familiar figure.

She slightly furrowed her brows, pulling Jian Chuyi, "Chuyi, look, is that Xu Rang?"

Jian Chuyi briefly looked up, only catching a side profile, then exclaimed with wide eyes, "It seems to be him, has he been released from the detention center?"

Then she immediately reassured Ji Tian, "Tiantian, don’t worry. This scumbag probably won’t bother you again, next time it won’t just be a simple two-month detention."

Ji Tian wasn’t worried at all, with her strength, ten Xu Rangs wouldn’t be enough to face her.

At that moment, in the cafe’s building opposite the second floor.

Shen Zhiyi was smiling at Bai Tingyu, "Tingyu, long time no see, thank you for still being willing to meet me."

Bai Tingyu’s head was down, lips tightly pursed, his gaze settled on Ji Tian leaning against the glass window, then he said, "Why did you come back? Being seen... it’s not good for you."

"Because I missed you, I came back, Tingyu. I was first in my school in Central Continent. Even though I’m not with you, I still try hard to follow in your footsteps."

She smiled lightly; two months had passed, and it seemed she had grown somewhat, returning to that day when they first met, pristine and clear.

Bai Tingyu felt conflicted inside. He liked Shen Zhiyi, but he couldn’t understand the things she did. If it were him, he would have done better, never letting himself step into this murky water.

"I came here for you. I know what’s bothering you, and I have a way to bring down Qin Jiangsheng. He will never be an obstacle to you."

Her voice sounded beguiling as Bai Tingyu thought clearly, "As long as he doesn’t make mistakes, he can stay in the Bai Family. My grandfather also intends to transfer another twenty percent of the shares to Qin Jiangsheng. He already holds twelve percent, and with another twenty, he will become the second-largest shareholder of the Bai Family, no different from splitting the family in two."

Towards the end, his tone was filled with resentment, but it was useless; the more they tried to stop it, the more Old Sir Bai insisted on giving, even Bai Yan Zhang’s pleading was futile.

This was like raising a ferocious wolf that could snap his neck at any moment, making him unable to sleep peacefully every night.

Seeing his brow furrowed tightly, Shen Zhiyi smiled and said, "It’s really hateful. The Bai Family is yours, yet it has come to this. He is just a bastard who interfered in someone else’s marriage. Your grandfather’s heart is too biased. Wouldn’t it be better if he just died?"

Bai Tingyu was shocked. He had only ever wished for Qin Jiangsheng’s death, never his grandfather’s: "Zhiyi, do you know what you’re saying? He’s my grandfather!"

He rarely got angry with Shen Zhiyi, his eyes burning with fury, as if another word like that could make him sever ties with her on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhiyi remained composed, pulling out a stack of photos and a hospital diagnosis report: "Take a look at this first."

Bai Tingyu took them, his gaze fixed on a familiar aged figure in the photos, and the diagnosis of late-stage liver cancer.

His lips trembled slightly, "How, how could this be."

"My grandfather is going to die?"

A timely sorrow appeared on Shen Zhiyi’s face: "He hid it for a long time and only recently started treatment. But looking at his condition, he won’t live much longer. Tingyu, I’m doing this for your own good. It’s better to nip the nightmare in the bud rather than letting your grandfather prolong his life for that bastard with a will."

"He’s in so much pain; death would be a release."

Bai Tingyu’s hand clenched the cup so tightly it seemed he might crush it, while Shen Zhiyi watched him calmly, not in the least bit anxious.

"The male lead in the later stage is good; aside from the female lead, let anyone who comes kill, but I understand, after all, he has only just turned eighteen."

Bai Tingyu’s eyes darkened, and he finally said, "If grandfather dies, what then happens to Qin Jiangsheng?"

Shen Zhiyi smiled, a trace of hatred on her face, "I have my ways. Once he turns eighteen, I guarantee he won’t rise again."

"And after dealing with them, it’s time to target the Ji Family. You go find Wen Jiangxue and give the Wen Family to her; she will help you."

Bai Tingyu looked at her, somewhat taken aback, "Wen Jiangxue? Isn’t she just a third-rate celebrity?"

Shen Zhiyi shook her head, "Aside from that identity, she’s the person Ji Lingyun holds dearest. As the saying goes, ’capture the king to capture the thief,’ and Wen Jiangxue is his weak spot. Control that woman, and you won’t have issues dealing with the Ji Family."

She didn’t want to spoil things, but these people forced her.

They almost drove her mad.

She desperately wished that this plot would end right now; she wanted to leave this chaotic place, leave Shen Zhiyi’s body, and return to her own.

Her eyelids drooped, covering the madness in her eyes.
