The outside world has had a lot to say about Wan Tong’s will, with endless speculation. No one knows what this young lady is thinking.
Is it just for show, or is there some other plot?
Moreover, after she posted about it on her Weibo, it stirred quite a reaction among her followers. She isn’t a celebrity and doesn’t have any die-hard fans; most of her followers are there for her looks and gossip.
Some of them came after seeing the news about her will.
She’s not a celebrity, but she has the kind of attention that even stars envy.
In the photos, there are three pairs of long, attractive hands, clearly belonging to different men. Combined with photos from a recent party, clever netizens quickly identified the owners of those hands. Some people even started craving the food in the pictures.
Soon, someone explained about the famous seafood restaurant where these photos were taken, including the two previous accidents that had occurred there.
For a while, some eager netizens were discouraged.
Of course, many others, driven by curiosity and a desire for hype, turned the restaurant into a popular check-in spot. However, these people couldn’t save the restaurant’s sales, although it did gain more online traffic.
The most surprising thing is that recently, Longde Seafood Restaurant has been offering some extremely expensive dishes, some of which are so rare that even if you have the money, you might not be able to get them. If you’re not extremely wealthy, you wouldn’t dare to eat there.
A spoonful of caviar costing tens of thousands, rare gooseneck barnacles, and bluefin tuna priced at over a million per dish—these seafood offerings have put the restaurant in the news several times. Wealthy foodies from all over the world started flocking to it.
However, the supply of these rare ingredients is limited, so not everyone can taste them. The reservations are already booked for months in advance.
With this kind of appeal, the restaurant’s sales skyrocketed.
In just half a month, the revenue had already surpassed that of the previous month, temporarily reviving the restaurant.
After this, Wan Tong’s authority in the Yue family also increased significantly, thanks to Yu Sheng finding those rare ingredient suppliers for her.
During this time, Yu Jian used all his tricks to try to get close to Wan Tong. She was cautious but occasionally played along. This increased Yu Sheng’s jealousy and conflicts with Yu Jian, finally making his favorability drop to negative.
Wan Tong breathed a sigh of relief. Only in this way, not only she wouldn’t need to fear Yu Sheng being swayed by Yu Jian, but also she could use Shishi’s skills.
Through Shishi, she quickly found Secretary Hao’s whereabouts. He had fled abroad but had just secretly returned.
She met with him and obtained a video that could thoroughly defeat her Second Uncle.
At this time, something happened at her home as well. A security guard was caught stealing in her room.
A few days ago, when Yu Sheng installed surveillance in her room, she was puzzled, but now she realized he had sensed something earlier.
However, strangely, the security guard was not found with any stolen items. From the video, it looked like he was searching for something.
Yu Sheng kicked the security guard, who was now kneeling on the floor with his head bowed low.
The treatment at the Yue family was excellent, but he still became greedier.
“What exactly are you looking for?” Wan Tong came up to him, frowning, her voice cold and indifferent.
The security guard looked up and happened to see a necklace hanging around her neck. The silver pendant on it flashed with dazzling light.
Instinctively, he took a second look but kept his mouth tightly shut and shook his head without saying a word.
Wan Tong, slightly annoyed, glanced at Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng stepped forward, reached out to unclasp the necklace from her neck, and held it in his palm.
He remembered this necklace; she had worn it several times.
However, there seemed to be something strange about it that made him a bit averse, though he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
“What’s wrong?” Wan Tong asked in a low voice.
Was there something wrong with the necklace?
[Yes, there’s a problem!] Suddenly, Shishi’s voice popped up.
[What’s the problem? Why didn’t you say anything earlier?]
[… Shishi didn’t notice. The pendant seems to be radioactive.]
[…] Damn it.
Wan Tong instinctively took the necklace back from Yu Sheng’s palm and threw it onto the sofa.
Someone had put something in her necklace, intending to kill her without her realizing it. But since she had unexpectedly made a will, and without knowing the specific content of her will, the person had to abort the plan and retrieve the necklace.
It was in this rush that they slipped up.
Wan Tong stared at the necklace, but she couldn’t recall much about it. It was probably a birthday gift she received last year, one that suited her taste.
[Shishi, help me investigate Yue Jingye.] This was the greatest malice she had felt from her Second Uncle since arriving in this world.
[Okay]
Wan Tong could use her skill three times but didn’t expect to not use any of them on the boss.
“Tong Tong?” Yu Sheng held Wan Tong’s hand, his slightly pursed lips showing a hint of concern.
The necklace was sent for testing, and indeed, radioactive material was detected.
Wan Tong and Yu Sheng also went to the hospital. It turned out that her previous nosebleeds were not due to physical exertion or dry weather, but because of radiation.
During Wan Tong’s hospital observation period, many things happened.
Yue Jingye was prosecuted for attempted murder and misappropriation of others’ property. During the investigation, the police unexpectedly discovered that he also had a history of molesting and harming minors.
The Yue Group immediately distanced itself from Yue Jingye. After all, some of the evidence was provided by Wan Tong, and when the news broke, people would only say that she was righteously turning in her family member.
The news of radioactive material being placed in her necklace dominated the headlines for a while and was eventually confirmed by the police to be Yue Jingye’s doing.
Everyone was shocked to discover that the seemingly gentlemanly Yue Jingye in the business circle was so vicious and disgusting underneath, and there were calls online for severe punishment.
A few days later, Yue Jingye died.
On the top floor of the Yue Group building, in front of several cameras, he elegantly brushed his sleeve and, with a gentle and warm smile on his face, looked at Wan Tong in the crowd, who was still wearing her hospital gown.
“Tongtong, you won.” After saying this, he sighed and, though he opened his mouth, he didn’t say anything more.
He reached into his suit pocket and pulled out a palm-sized dinosaur.
He lightly stroked its surface with his fingertips, his downturned eyes revealing no emotion.
“Quite cute,” he murmured softly.
Then, to the astonishment of everyone present, he took a step back, raised his hands, and fell backward.
“Ah!” Everyone exclaimed in shock.
Wan Tong also stared expressionlessly in the direction he disappeared, her eyes becoming warm and moist.
Even at this moment, he wouldn’t lose his composure.
That final smile of his had accompanied her throughout her childhood. She even remembered being carried by him to an amusement park when she was young. Unfortunately, that would forever remain a memory.
But in just a few seconds, a chill crept into Wan Tong’s heart again.
The little dinosaur, she had given it to him when she was young. Why did he take it out now? Was it truly to reminisce about the good times they had as uncle and niece? Or was he still manipulating her emotions in the end…
Honestly, she couldn’t believe someone who intended to kill her.
With these thoughts, Wan Tong’s tears flowed even more freely. Uncle, oh uncle.
A hand reached from behind and gently covered Wan Tong’s eyes.
“Let’s go, back to the hospital,” Yu Sheng’s voice descended from above.
The incident of Yue Jingye jumping off the building had been widely reported. In the video, after Yue Jingye’s figure disappeared, the camera turned to focus on Wan Tong.
Yue Jingye’s actions had truly moved many netizens. Some said he deserved his fate, while others sympathized with him, feeling sorry for him.
Netizens wanted to see Wan Tong’s reaction, but unfortunately, all they saw was a tall figure carrying her away, surrounded by bodyguards. No one could clearly capture Wan Tong’s face, only relying on eyewitnesses to describe her as crying miserably.
By night, a photo went viral on the internet.
The focus was on the slender white girl in the middle, her fists clenched by her side as she lowered her head slightly.
Standing behind her was a tall man, his hand blocking her view. It was unclear whether he didn’t want her to see what was in front of her or if he wanted to shield her from tears.
He too lowered his head, the gentle breeze tousling his messy hair, his profile contouring a face that could rival many idols’.
Netizen : The bodyguard wins.
There had been a poll before, about who Wan Tong preferred: her fiancé, the bodyguard, or the hidden millionaire.
The votes for the three were almost tied, but now, they all seemed to stand on the bodyguard’s side.
Meanwhile, Wan Tong woke up from unconsciousness, finding herself lying on a navy blue bed.
She remembered this room; it belonged to the Lu family, where Lu Yun stayed after returning to the country.
She pressed her throbbing temples, quickly recalling her and Yu Sheng’s journey back to the hospital, encountering a minor car accident, and then… Yu Sheng seemed to have suffered some kind of unknown attack, his head pounding painfully before he finally passed out.
And she was knocked unconscious by someone.
Was it Lu Yun?
Just as she was about to get out of bed, a figure entered from outside.
“Where’s Yu Sheng?” She asked, her feet tapping on the floor.
As soon as Lu Yun heard her question, his expression changed, but he gently pressed her back onto the bed before saying, “Are you that worried about him?”
Wan Tong looked at him, furrowing her brows slightly, but she didn’t speak.
Lu Yun sat down in front of her, smiling with narrowed eyes as usual, his brown hair a little messy, resembling a big dog forcing a smile.
“Tongtong, I don’t like it when you’re like this.”
By the end of his sentence, the smile in his eyes gradually faded, only a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth remained, suddenly tinged with a hint of cunning.
“Lu Yun, speak nicely. I don’t like you like this either.” Wan Tong reached out, pinching his cheek hard.
Just a few seconds later, she let go, satisfied with the red mark on his face.
Lu Yun was a bit neurotic, showing signs of turning evil, but she always felt somehow that he wouldn’t hurt her at least.
Lu Yun lowered his head, and when he lifted it again, there was no trace of a smile on his face, his eyes devoid of any brightness, as calm as still water.
“Tongtong, you’re still mine, right?” He leaned in, his arms propped on the edge of the bed beside her, almost enveloping her in his embrace.
Wan Tong felt pressure from all sides, her temples throbbing a few times. He might not necessarily have romantic feelings for her, but it was clear he didn’t like her removing the title of his fiancée and getting involved with someone else.
Perhaps it was just possessiveness at play?
He felt like his territory was being invaded.
After all, he once didn’t speak to someone for taking his pencil without his permission.
