Replace Your Life (30) Without tasks, she will only be more……

Ye Xu found Tong Ling in an unfinished building.

From receiving the information to contacting the police to rushing to the location During this period, Ye Xu was like a precise machine; he didn’t dare reveal the slightest emotion, let alone let his emotions affect the search work.

He had to calm down until he saw Tong Ling, whose hands and feet were tied with knots. She lay on the ground, surrounded by several menacing gangsters. At this moment, Ye Xu’s whole body was trembling.

That kind of fear, worry, and unspeakable anger swept through his whole body. He couldn’t imagine what would happen to Tong Ling if he came a little late.

Fortunately, he came. The police have surrounded the building, ready for an ambush. As long as he negotiates with these gangsters and finds a way to rescue Tong Ling from them first, everything will be resolved.

Tong Ling was still maintaining her “heroine” personality, shivering in horror.

As early as when these gangsters were on their way to kidnap her, she had taken all their words from these people’s mouths.

In the words of these gangsters, it was a stupid woman who placed their order. Thinking that you can buy a life with a sum of money, she wants them to tie up a person and throw her into the river.

After receiving the photos showing that they have “destroyed the corpse”, she will send them the final payment.

Hooligans are not fools. Kidnapping is one thing; killing someone is another.

What’s more, the price given by that woman is not enough to pay for their lives. Isn’t that a joke if you want them to get blood on their hands?

So they told Tong Ling that as long as she cooperates with them in taking some pictures, they will let her go naturally after they receive the money. During the period, they did not omit verbal threats. Seeing Tong Ling’s soft and well-behaved appearance, a few people did not take many precautions against her.

“The photo has been sent; why hasn’t that woman paid yet?” A gangster named Huang Mao complained impatiently.

“If she will not pay, we will force her to.” The boss among the gangsters said with a sullen face, “If you dare to play tricks on me, my brothers will not let her go!”

M577 whispered in his mind and shared it with Tong Ling. The information it found was: “It’s not that the heroine didn’t give the money. The heroine’s bank card was frozen by Shen Man.”

Tong Ling lowered her head and suppressed a smile. “She has too little experience with crimes. She is looking for laymen, not to mention that she did not even prepare the money. She is not afraid to be exposed.”

M577 muttered, “How can she have a lack of experience? She was able to find someone to tie you up because of her hard work.”

“Do you want money?”

Just as the gangsters were talking about money, Ye Xu came out of the shadows.

When such a big living person suddenly appeared, several gangsters were startled, and a sensitive one even pulled out a small knife, staring fiercely at the incoming person.

Ye Xu quickly raised his hands, signaling his harmlessness: “Don’t be nervous. I came alone. I can give you a sum of money, as long as you let my girlfriend go.”

“Girlfriend?”

Turning his head, he looked at the delicate woman on the ground and asked, “Is she your woman?”

Tong Ling’s tears flowed down her face. Her pale face was full of fragility and pitifulness.

Ye Xu’s heart twitched, and he hurriedly comforted his girlfriend with a few words. Seeing how nervous he was towards Tong Ling, the gangsters looked at each other and knew it.

“How did you find this place?” The gangster boss didn’t let go of this doubt. This unfinished building is not a place that ordinary people can find. If this man can find it casually, then wouldn’t their kidnapping have been exposed long ago?

Ye Xu replied, “I installed a positioning system on my girlfriend’s mobile phone.”

“Mobile phone?” The gangster boss looked at the yellow hair beside him.

Huang Mao took Tong Ling’s mobile phone from his pocket. It was something he got after he tied up the woman. He didn’t expect that keeping this mobile phone would reveal their location.

“I don’t know how much the person who asked you to kidnap gave you, but…” Ye Xu opened the suitcase in his hand and said, “I hope you will be satisfied with the money.”

The neat banknotes in the box all gasped at the gangsters.

The impact of the money in the account and the cash placed in front of the eyes is completely different. After negotiating money, the two parties quickly reached an agreement. After Tong Ling was handed over to Ye Xu, she did not forget to take her mobile phone back from Huang Mao.

A crisis came to an end so quietly. The gangsters, who walked out of the unfinished building with suitcases, were caught by the police and after they were interrogated at the police station, they explained everything clearly without difficulty.

Through the accounts linked by the gangsters and the “buyer,” the identity of Yu Yurou, the real murderer behind the scenes, was also revealed.

“Xiaoling?” As if she couldn’t believe this fact, Tong Ling’s eyes were red and her voice was trembling: “Impossible. She is my sister. How could she do such a thing?”

Even if Tong Ling is safe and sound, this incident is bad enough. Yu Yurou, the main culprit, will face severe legal sanctions.

Of course, Tong Liang wouldn’t put the heroine in jail. She grabbed Ye Xu’s arm and begged, “Xiao Ling didn’t mean to hurt me, and nothing happened to me. Those kidnappers said they wouldn’t. Killing me is all acting.”

“I can give up the prosecution, so Xiaoling will be fine, right?”

Ye Xu was stunned when he heard the name of the murderer behind the scenes. Although he knew that the woman had changed, she became vicious and terrifying, and it still gave him a chill in his heart.

When he saw his girlfriend pleading for mercy with a pale face and thinking of the consequences if he failed to save her, his wavering heart gradually became cold.

“This is a criminal case. Even if you don’t push the case, the prosecutor will file a public prosecution.” Ye Xu’s eyes were cold. “People always have to pay for their mistakes.”

“No, is there no other way to save her?” Tong Ling stared at Ye Xu and said, “I know you must have a way!”

Ye Xu did have a way. Compared with going to jail, that method is not too bad.

“You don’t blame her for treating you like this?” Ye Xu asked.

“That’s my sister!” Tong Ling said sternly.

“Her mental state is not stable. I suspect that she has schizotypal personality disorder. When committing the crime, another personality of hers may have acted.”

Ye Xu replied, “A person with a mental illness cannot be convicted.”

“I will help her find a good defense lawyer, take her to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, and when this incident is over, I will send her to a hospital that can treat her, so you don’t have to worry about her having an accident.”

See, Ye Xu said what she wanted to hear, and Tong Ling knew that her mission in this world was over.

With Ye Xu operating in it, it didn’t take long for Yu Yurou to be identified as suffering from a mental illness. No matter whether she had faked it to escape punishment, Yu Yurou would not open her mouth to explain anything.

The heroine, who became cannon fodder for the female lead, was sent to a mental hospital by the affectionate second male lead.

M577 was stunned by this development. 【It’s over? Is this the end of the story of the cannon fodder female supporting role?

Brilliant fireworks bloomed on the screen of the device that detected the plot nodes—congratulations on completing one plot!

In Tong Ling’s sea of consciousness, her soul was beside M577, looking at the task reward sent by the Lord.

“What’s the use of this virtual currency?” Tong Ling tapped the screen and asked, “Is the 3W currency more or less? With all the task rewards, is that enough?”

M577 was quickly explained to Tong Ling: “The currency can be exchanged for a series of items in the mall. The prop cigarette I bought for you before is a product of the mall, and it is worth 100 currency points.”

M577 opened up the system mall for Tong Ling, which the host can only have after completing a mission in one world.

Tong Ling poked open the mall catalog to look and was dazzled by the 100W worth of items on it.

What is this [Protagonist Halo]? [Glamorous Halo] [Prosperous Beauty Halo] [Lucky Charm]…..?

These things that can help people get hooked at first glance are indeed very attractive. However, Tong Ling has no interest in this. In her opinion, these things are not as refreshing as the prop cigarette.

“Save the currency. There’s nothing to buy.” After closing the mall, Tong Ling returned to her body and said, “We should enjoy life.”

When bound by tasks, Tong Ling was free to let herself go.

Without the task, she will only be more indulgent.

Ye Xu is the person who can feel this most clearly. He did not know when his girlfriend began to go out frequently at night. When he asked why the other party hadn’t come home, Tong Ling would only reply, ‘Don’t you know where I am? You can come and find me in person.’

Know? How could he know such a thing? He just hoped that she would give him an excuse—just an excuse—and he wouldn’t blame her for anything!

They got along so sweetly, and she was as beautiful as ever. Ye Xu could only suppress his uneasiness and ignore those trivial details. He thought, ‘Maybe his girlfriend is not ready to live with him yet, so he should wait.’

Waiting did not make things better, but worse.

When he found more things belonging to other men in his room, Ye Xu finally couldn’t take it anymore.

“Who did you bring back?” Ye Xu looked powerless even though he was already angry: “Don’t be afraid; I just want to ask.”

“Little brother, I brought…”

Before Tong Ling could answer, Ye Xu quickly interrupted her, saying, “Don’t tell me. Don’t do this in the future, okay? I don’t want anyone else in our family with you and me.”

“That’s just a friend.” Tong Ling sneaked into his arms and kissed his lips. “No one can compare to my little brother. You are the best!”

Her smile was still so pure as if everything was in his wild imagination.

“…Okay.” Ye Xu didn’t ask anymore. He threw away those strange clothes and pretended nothing happened.

The bottom line of this person is lowered a little bit.

Ye Xu gave Tong Ling enough freedom, but this did not bring any good results.

There seemed to be more and more details about the changes.

She no longer called him “little brother.”

She became very cold towards him.

She always has a lot to say to others.

Even if he touches her, she will dodge him.

Ye Xu couldn’t bear their drifting away, so he decided to propose marriage.

If their relationship is not bound by marriage, he feared they will soon break up.

“Are you sure you want to marry me?” His girlfriend was very surprised by his decision, but due to his plea, she agreed to it.

“As long as you won’t regret it, I’m fine.” Tong Ling said with a half-smile, “I’m going to visit my sister today. Are you coming?”

Ye Xu shook his head. Recently, his girlfriend invited him to the mental hospital more often. Ye Xu rejected her without even thinking about it.

“Are you going to play dumb with me like this?” Tong Ling asked.

Ye Xu pretended not to hear, turned, and left.

He has to prepare for their wedding, and he will be very busy.

M577’s reaction to Ye Xu is incomprehensible. How does the host see it in her eyes? Most men have already severed ties with her, but Ye Xu went deeper as if he was poisoned.

[What did you do to him?] M577 asked.

 [I feel like he is sick.]

Tong Ling sneered and said, “He is indeed sick because he knows that I don’t want to pretend anymore, so he is willing to do anything to keep me.”

[Why….. 】

“The cost of his sinking is too high.” Tong Ling explained calmly. “For me, he gave up that real little girl and even sent her to a mental hospital with his own hands. He can’t allow himself to choose the wrong person. Otherwise, what he did before will make him live in pain and guilt for the rest of his life.” 

“He can only go down the dark path to prove he is right.”

Tong Ling sighed: “I could have given him a good dream, but unfortunately, I’m tired of it.”

[Then you still want to marry him?] M577 doesn’t think this wedding will be a good thing.

Tong Ling chuckled: “We can’t go on with the wedding.”

The news that Ye Xu and “Yu Yurou” holding a wedding quickly spread in the circle.

When Ye Huan knew about this, he knocked over the wine glass in his hand on the spot.

Ever since Yurou was kidnapped by her younger sister and rescued by Ye Xu, Yurou has cut off contact with him.

It’s not that he didn’t want to go to her, but Ye Huan couldn’t even get close to her.

Ye Xu took people too seriously, and after losing his rights and status, Ye Huan realized how difficult it was to do one thing.

A few bodyguards can easily control him. Even if he wanted to develop his career, the company and the projects he established were disrupted due to various accidents.

Ye Huan knew that Ye Xu was not the only one targeting him. Even if he was not the heir of the Ye family, Lu Yue and Song Xingyi still did not let him go.

Shen Man didn’t help him, and Ye Huan knew that if he got involved with her, even the Ye family would be implicated. He still has a few properties under his name, which can help him turn around the situation a little after they are sold.

It’s not that Ye Huan has never thought about finding a job. He has been the president of the Ye family for so long, and his judgment is still there. There will be no problem working as an employee for a small company.

But Ye Huan’s self-esteem did not allow him to compromise. If he became a clerk, he would never be able to stand up straight in his life.

Ye Xu can even leave the Ye family and develop the company to the point where it can compete with the Ye family. Yet why can’t he do this?

If Ye Xu hadn’t climbed onto her head, Yu Rou would not have chosen him.

Ye Huan was very proud that the woman they liked loved him, but Yurou hadn’t contacted him for so long, and now that news of the wedding came, he should recognize the reality no matter how arrogant he was.

He just didn’t understand why Yurou arranged for her parents to live in his home since she didn’t want him anymore.

It is all false to say that they are not engaged!

Ye Huan was furious and ran to the villa on the spot. He wanted to ask Yurou’s parents what happened.

When Yu’s father and Yu’s mother heard the news, they were stunned.

Isn’t their daughter engaged to Ye Huan, but she will marry Ye Huan’s brother?

Yu’s father and Yu’s mother didn’t know that Ye Huan was no longer the heir of the Ye family, and they lived in his big villa. If they wanted to help, they would be helping Ye Huan.

“We are all optimistic about you, Xiaohuan. Don’t worry, we will let Rourou choose you!” Yu’s mother said, “When Rourou comes to invite us, I will make her change her mind!”

Yu’s father echoed: “Yes, yes, she has listened to us since she was a child. Don’t worry if we are here.”

After being comforted by Yu’s father and Yu’s mother, Ye Huan recovered a little bit of energy and said, “Then I will wait for your message.”

As soon as Ye Huan left, Mother Yu hurriedly called Tong Ling, but no one answered.

“Has she not contacted us for a long time?” Mother Yu asked Father Yu.

Yu’s father nodded: “There has been no news since we were sent here.”

Yu’s mother panicked and suddenly thought of something: “Did you take the money for selling the house?”

“It wasn’t that she said she would give Ye Huan to help us invest in the Ye family? All the money was given to her.” Yu’s father didn’t take this matter to heart at first; after all, the villa they lived in was much more valuable than the house he sold, until Yu’s mother changed her face, and only then did he realize something was wrong.

“You suspect…?” Father Yu didn’t dare think about it. If his daughter embezzled their property, then their money was completely gone!

“Didn’t you hear Ye Huan say that ‘Rourou’ will marry his younger brother? She has no contact with Ye Huan, so how could she give Ye Huan the rent to buy shares?” Yu’s mother turned pale. “It’s over. She wants to kill us!”

Yu’s father didn’t want to think too badly about the situation. “Don’t scare yourself. She sent us to live in this villa.”

Yu’s mother said angrily, “This villa is not ours. As long as Ye Huan wants to, he can kick us out at any time!”

Father Yu: “Ye Huan wouldn’t do that.”

Mother Yu sneered: “When he sees our “good” daughter marrying someone else, do you think he can keep us here?”

What he said to us today is that he hopes we can persuade her to come back if we are useless.”

Father Yu’s lips trembled, and he was speechless in a daze.

Besides Ye Huan, Lu Yue was the one who cared most about this wedding.

He helped Tong Ling so much. Tong Ling and Ye Huan were torn apart. He thought that for the sake of what he had done, it was time for Tong Ling to resume their relationship with him. But…

Unexpectedly, Tong Ling didn’t even say thanks and she seemed to have forgotten him. No matter how many messages he sent, nothing came of it. Until now, Tong Ling has been acting to marry Ye Xu. How could Lu Yue accept this result?

For that ruthless woman, Lu Yue only had one thought: “It doesn’t matter if she can’t marry him. She’s only dreaming if she wants to marry someone else!”
