Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Yanchen chose to tell the truth after consideration of his moral values and humanity. However, he felt a sense of guilt toward Shi Ze. Hence, he did not hesitate at all when the latter asked him out.

Right at River Hucheng, Lu Yanchen assured Shi Ze that he would have his grandpa make use of his connections so that the latter’s father would have a reduced sentence and be let off earlier. But, what he did not know was that Shi Ze’s father had already died in an accident in the jail a couple of days ago.

The reason why Shi Ze asked him out was for revenge! Shi Ze walked in front of Lu Yanchen, smiling and thanking him. However, his face changed almost immediately afterward, roaring at Lu Yanchen coldly and telling him to stop with his hypocrisy!

Right after that, he pushed Lu Yanchen into the river.

As Lu Yanchen struggled in the waters, Shi Ze shouted at him from up above, blaming him for everything.

In this world, there were many rich people and politicians helping one another behind the scenes all in the name of profiting. There were many influential people who could hide away murders as well.

But, why couldn’t the Lus do that? They were clearly good friends, and that was clearly his distant uncle-in-law! He doubted that Lu Yanchen would have told the truth if that was his actual uncle-in-law instead.

He then scolded Lu Yanchen, saying that even if he did not want to make a false statement, he could have said that he saw nothing at all. With just the influence of the Shi and Shen Families alone, the Shis could have been able to bury the entire incident if Lu Yanchen did not choose to stand as a witness!

However, the fact that Lu Yanchen came forth as a witness inadvertently meant that the Lus would not interfere in this affair. As such, no one was willing to give any form of leeway in handling the case of Shi Ze’s father.

This was clearly something that the Lus could cover. Instead of doing so, they gave the Shis a kick instead.

That was the reason why Shi Ze hated Lu Yanchen and the Lu Family.

He wanted to have Lu Yanchen killed, leaving right after he ranted finish.

That was a place where tourists would hardly head to. Once he was gone, Lu Yanchen was dead meat for sure!

The waters of River Hucheng gushed downward as Lu Yanchen struggled for a long time after being pushed down. Eventually, he could hold out no longer and felt that he was truly about to die. It was right at that moment when Shi Guang had saved him.

After relating everything to Shi Guang, he asked, “If you were me, what would have you done?”

He asked calmly, yet, Shi Guang could tell of the conflicted emotions in his heart. He should have pondered and hesitated over this issue for a long time back then, enduring the helplessness and dilemma.

Shi Guang hugged him consolingly. “If it were me, I would have been confused as well and ask my daddy too. But, I don’t think that you were in the wrong. I would have done the same as you eventually. That is no small issue. A human life was lost. How innocent was that waiter to lose his life over a small argument? If that man was let off even after that, no one could guarantee that he might not turn even wilder in the future, and cause more people to lose their lives.”

Lu Yanchen fondled her head and smiled out helplessly, his mood lifted at the same time. “If everything could rewind itself, I would have done the same. That’s because I would end up meeting you.”

“You almost lost your life...” Shi Guang chuckled out. “I’ve discovered that someone is truly getting better at sweet nothings these days.”

He asked in return, “Were those sweet nothings?”

Shi Guang: “...”

...

This was the first time in Shi Ze’s life that he had been left so wretched.

He had never thought that he would be rendered so helpless against Lu Yanchen. Rage of embarrassment flooded through his entire chest as he glared at his bruised face in the mirror, flinging the glass he had in his hand onto the ground fiercely!
