Chapter 268

Wei Wenyu's parents divorced in the year her eldest sister passed away.

Her father, Mr. Wei Xuanming, was a highly influential and powerful figure in the overseas Chinese community. However, he hadn't always been so successful.

The struggle began with her great-grandfather's generation, and it wasn't until her father's time that they truly achieved prominence.

Being prominent came with both advantages and disadvantages.

From childhood, they had to endure countless assassination attempts, kidnappings, and deceptions...

That's how her eldest brother and sister died.

Unable to bear such a life, her mother left for Jiang City. As the youngest daughter, Wei Wenyu would take turns with Wei Wenqing visiting their mother there.

Later, when their mother's health deteriorated, Wei Wenyu visited more frequently, sometimes staying in Jiang City for extended periods.

Her mother's new husband also held a prestigious position in Jiang City.

The local youth, vaguely aware of Wei Wenyu's background, tried to curry favor with her. But having seen such pretense before, she was naturally immune to it.

After a while, she found it unbearable.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

One day, wearing heavy makeup and without her bodyguards, she walked alone through the streets of Jiang City while complaining to Wei Wenqing on the phone.

Before she could finish the call, a motorcycle thief darted out from the side, snatched her phone, and even dared to touch her face.

Wei Wenyu stood frozen for a full ten seconds, not because she hadn't processed what happened, but because she was shocked. She had faced assassination attempts and kidnappings before, but this was the first time someone dared to steal her phone and touch her face!

If this had happened overseas, her father would have cut off all the thief's fingers and made him chew them.

However, someone else acted faster than her.

A young man from the nearby overpass vaulted over several flights of stairs, racing after the thief.

Just as the punk was turning back to flash them his middle finger.

The man kicked both him and his motorcycle to the ground.

Wei Wenyu rushed forward and stomped on the thief's face twice.

She cursed at him: "Idiot! How dare you touch my face! Idiot!"

The man restrained her from behind, saying calmly, "Your heel might go into his eye, and he could counter-sue you for assault."

Wei Wenyu stopped, turning to look at the man.

She wanted to say, how could this lowlife possibly sue her?

But she never spoke those words.

The man was dressed neatly, carried himself with dignity, and had handsome features. When silent, he exuded an inexplicable sense of calm reliability.

When his brows and eyes tensed, he displayed a kind of righteous aura.

He was the type of person Wei Wenyu could never encounter in her usual social circle.

The man picked up the phone from the ground and handed it to her, asking if she was alone or if she had family with her.

She said yes, she was alone.

The man checked his watch, seeming like he had somewhere to be. But in the end, he accompanied her to the police station.

Before they went, he crouched down and calmly grabbed the thief's hand, asking her, "Was it this hand?"

She said yes.

The man broke each of the thief's fingers one by one.

She asked in bewilderment, "Didn't you say he could sue for assault?"

The man anxiously pulled at his hair, "No good, no good again. Alright, alright, listen to me..."

"Your girlfriend is pregnant, you have a daughter, she will be born, your girlfriend will name her Li Shengxi, and her nickname will be Little Duck..." The man paused before continuing, "She's very smart, very lovely, perfectly inheriting both of your excellent genes. She'll grow up to be very happy because many people love her."

He rambled on about many things.

Others thought he was crazy.

As he was being dragged away, he could see the surprise in Zhang Xinian's eyes.

Was it successful?

Did it work?

In his ears, he could still hear that young man's voice.

"What year is this now, don't you want to leave the game?"

"This game of yours isn't very humane, actually preventing pain reduction for the sake of immersion."

"Do you want to leave the game?"

"I'll give you a chance—"

"Re-enter the game, reach the right moment, let Mr. Zhang Xinian know his love continues on, he has a daughter, her mother named her Li Shengxi..."

"Are you thinking that once you leave the game, you won't care who I am, you don't have to do what I say? Then you'd better pray there isn't a second challenger."

"If that person gets caught and is tortured worse, I'll tell them when I let them go that it was all because of you."

"Don't look at me like that, will you take this deal?"

"If possible, create a perfect ending for Mr. Zhang Xinian and Ms. Wei Wenyu. You're not so useless that you can't manage that, right?"

He heard himself asking tremblingly, "Sheng Yuxiao, aren't you afraid that if the storyline changes, everything will start over?"

"It doesn't matter. Li Qingqing proved with herself that no matter how many times we start over, I'll still meet Little Duck."

"...Madman." He closed his eyes, thinking there wasn't a single normal person in this world!

There wasn't a single normal person in this world!

He thought this again as he was being dragged away.

Why didn't they believe my words, why did they still go on the mission? Why did they still rush towards death?

But this time.

Zhang Xinian did genuinely smile at that news, whether true or false.

Yes.

Little Duck is a cute name, he thought.

He thought this even as he was dying.

But he also thought: Better not, after all. If he died, raising the child would be too hard for her.

Edward really had no choice anymore, with Sheng Yuxiao looming over him like a shadow.

Finally, he came up with a simple solution.

He wrote down this story, which spread widely on the game forum, touching more and more people who learned about it.

"Shall we try again? Surely we can create a perfect ending at least once?"

Another player clicked "Reload." And they simply wanted to change the ending for Wei Wenyu and Zhang Xinian.
