After that, Ming Shu noticed that Ye Ji often went into a daze and ended up hurting himself.
She could feel his uneasiness, but she didn’t know how to help him.
This matter affected Ming Shu. She ate two packets of snacks to suppress her emotions.
“Assistant He.”
Ming Shu called for Assistant He.
“Young Miss?”
“Can I ask you something?”
Assistant He was curious. “What is it?”
The West District didn’t give them any trouble recently. Things were going well at the factory. People were starting to pay to enter the East District.
Besides Mr. Ye… everything was going smoothly.
“If someone feels anxious, how can I help?”
“Huh?” Assistant He scratched his head. “Young Miss, this is too general. There are many reasons this would happen. The solution depends on the reason.”
Assistant He wondered if something happened between Young Miss and Mr. Ye.
Mr. Ye had been a bit weird recently.
He saw him alone a couple of times.
This would rarely happen before.
Was it because of what happened last time? Young Miss questioned Mr. Ye and Mr. Ye was unhappy about it?
Ming Shu waved her hand and asked Assistant He to leave.
She should just think of a solution herself.
If she had known this was going to happen, she would not have told him everything…
This was different from what the television dramas normally showed!
Ming Shu sighed.
She wanted to buy some medicine and make him lose his memory.
Calm down, calm down.
Remember that that person is your little demon…
Your Aura Points couldn’t even fill up your stomach. How can you waste it on such weird medicine?
Phew…
I managed to calm down.
Ming Shu redeemed some snacks from the Harmony System and her Aura Points dropped drastically. She needed to console herself.
…
At night…
Ye Ji didn’t go to work with her today. When Ming Shu went back, he was lying on the sofa with his hand on his forehead. His right leg laid flat on the sofa while his left leg was bent.
He was wearing casual clothes. He looked like an elegant and lazy cat.
The sound of the door didn’t wake him up.
Ming Shu walked in softly. She looked around the kitchen before going toward the sofa.
She sat beside him and held his hand that was on his stomach.
She held him for a moment before leaning over and looking down at him.
Ye Ji’s breathing was stable. He rarely got a good night’s sleep.
Ming Shu gave him a light kiss on the lips.
She got up and took a blanket over. She placed it on him before sitting on the floor and accompanying him quietly.
…
A few days later, Ming Shu got the news that the West District wanted to start a war with the East District.
The West District had already formed an advance party of soldiers to annihilate the East District.
The East District was in an uproar when they heard this news.
The West District had a lot of equipment. What did they have?
If the West District launched their attack, how would they be able to defend themselves?
Some people felt that the Du Ji was the cause of this war so they gathered around Du Ji.
The shouts from the crowd could be heard throughout the day. There was a huge crowd outside so the workers of Du Ji didn’t dare to leave.
The war between the East District and the West District would definitely happen based on the storyline. It just happened earlier than expected.
Ming Shu was composed.
If the war didn’t happen, she would not be able to gain Hatred Points.
The West District had an army. They were all gathered on the other side of the defensive wall. Ming Shu looked at the video that was sent to her.
“Young Miss, the West District just released this video.”
Assistant He played the video. The people in the video asked the East District to hand the boss of Du Ji, Ming Shu, to them. If not, they would launch an attack on the East District.
As the person with the most power in the East District, as well as the mortal enemy of Yi Xi, this was a reasonable request.
This video was uploaded on the internet so everyone in the East District saw it.
“Young Miss, the West District wants to make you a target for all.”
“That’s good.”
Assistant He: “???”
What is good about this!
Is there something wrong with Young Miss’s brain?
“Everyone in the East District is coming to Du Ji after looking at this video. They want to hand you over to them.”
Assistant He was indignant. The people from the West District didn’t treat the people of the East District like humans.
After Young Miss built the wall, the people from the West District didn’t dare to look down on them openly anymore. They would enter and leave hurriedly. They weren’t as arrogant as before.
The situation was bad now, but he believed that Young Miss could handle it.
Ming Shu threw her cellphone down. “Things will get more lively when the war starts, right?”
The people from the East District wanted to hand Ming Shu over. However, if she didn’t appear voluntarily, they couldn’t do anything. They were just normal civilians.
“Young Miss, this is bad. Mr. Ye’s car is blocked by the crowd outside.
An anxious voice came from outside the office.
Before Assistant He could react, Young Miss had disappeared.
Assistant He: “…”
Outside the main gate of Du Ji…
The agitated crowd surrounded a car. The car windows were smashed and everyone squeezed around it. No one could see what was going on inside the car.
“This happened all because of you.”
“The entire East District is implicated. Even if you all want to die, you don’t have to drag us down!”
“Why don’t you all die!”
“It’s Jiang Xue! She came out!”
“Catch her and hand her over to the West District!”
The moment Ming Shu walked out of the main gate, someone discovered her. The people gathered around the car immediately turned their heads and rushed toward Ming Shu.
Ming Shu looked at the crowd. There were too many people. She couldn’t find Ye Ji.
Screams and shouts of anger filled the air.
Ming Shu walked toward the car while flinging people away from her.
There was no one in the car. No one was around the car, either.
“Where is he?” Ming Shu grabbed someone beside her.
This person screamed the loudest just now, but when he was face to face with Ming Shu, he cowered in fear.
“I… I don’t know. He was here just now…”
Boom boom boom!
A few gunshots echoed through the air. The entire place turned silent. Ming Shu pointed the gun at the person closest to her. “Everyone, squat down now.”
It was legal to own a gun in this world. However, guns were not easy to find. Many people in the West District had guns, but only a few from the East District had them.
No one dared to make a sound since there was a gun pointing at them. They all covered their heads and squatted.
Ming Shu scanned her surroundings. Around seven meters away from the car, she saw Ye Ji leaning against a wall.
Ming Shu walked past the crowd.
“Ye Ji?”
Ye Ji pushed the person beside him away. The person fell on the ground and twitched a few times. Then, he stopped moving.
Ye Ji smiled at Ming Shu. “Darling, I knew that you would come and save me. Ah, my hand hurts.”
He showed his hands to Ming Shu. “Darling, help me rub them.”
Ming Shu held his hand. “Let’s go in first.”
Ye Ji gazed at the crowd. Something flashed in his eyes.
