She knew that Ye Shengli had arranged for her to come to this high rooftop because he definitely had some unspeakable secret he wanted to confront her with or perhaps propose a deal or make a threat. Therefore, she had prepared herself mentally for anything that might come.
No matter what, she had to find out the cause of her father’s death and secure justice for him!
Yet, she had not expected that, after Ye Shengli had disappeared for so long, he was a completely changed person when he reappeared!
Not only had his temperament drastically changed, his face distorted ferociously, but also, as soon as he saw her, he grabbed her without saying a word and dragged her towards the edge of the rooftop!
To die together? What did that mean?
Totally outside Ye Shu’s mental preparation.
So, she struggled hard to break free from Ye Shengli’s grasp, and due to him tripping over a water pipe, he lost his balance and fell off.
After catching her breath, Ye Shu cautiously poked her head over the edge, only to see numerous people gathered below along with the noise of a bustling crowd.
A bad premonition instantly surged through her heart, and she thought to message Mr. Sheng for help. However, just a second before sending it, she canceled the idea.
Her intuition told her that this was a trap, an enormous pitfall. If Mr. Sheng were to come, it would inevitably drag the Sheng family into an abyss...
"Don’t move, stay where you are!" Several patrol officers had reached the rooftop, looked around, and upon finding no one else, they took Ye Shu down.
Ye Shu remained silent throughout, as she couldn’t understand what exactly was happening, why Ye Shengli, who was always cunning and shrewd, would become so recklessly foolish, wanting to jump off the building with her upon meeting.
That wasn’t like Ye Shengli at all.
"They’re coming down, coming down, and it’s a young girl. How could she be so cruel?" Initially, the people gathered on the ground started taking out their phones and relentless photographs of Ye Shu, some even started a live webcast.
"Ye Shu, you shameless person, give my dad back!" Ye Xinyu, upon seeing Ye Shu, immediately rushed towards her like mad and latched onto Ye Shu’s collar, crying and scolding, "Why, we are still family after all, how could you be so ruthless? What goes around comes around, evil people will definitely meet their retribution!"
The crowd immediately erupted:
"Ye Shu? Oh, no wonder she looked so familiar, so it’s her, the one who became famous from a cameo clip in ’Nine Lives Demon Phoenix’!"
"Exactly, that’s her. I heard she even won some award, I really liked her before, but to think she could be so heartless, I’m so disappointed."
"You guys can’t be serious, damn, I was looking forward to her ’Dynasty’ release, now it’s completely lost its appeal!"
Faced with various doubts from the crowd, Ye Shu didn’t want to explain even half a word. What situations hadn’t she encountered since entering the entertainment industry?
To the idly gossiping crowd, rumors are truth, plus a few paparazzi who typically had nothing better to do than chase sensational stories, could twist white into black—the more you explain, the more excited those people get.
However, Ye Shu was not in a good mood for Ye Xinyu, grabbing her hand and forcefully pushing her away, "Ye Xinyu, I agree with your words, but the term ’malicious’ suits only you and your father, not me. Otherwise, it should have been me falling from up there, not your father, that would be true retribution!"
