BXBX NOVEL Chapter 312 - Threats
Chapter 312: Threats
Yang Li paused for a moment to calm down. After all, the incident during the film festival was one of the darkest moments in her life. Even with Ning Xia, Director Pan, and the cast of Yi Yao supporting her, they could not wash away the humiliation.
Song Ning understood Yang Li’s feelings.
“After that, Ye Xin became even crazier. She confronted you and made me an accessory. When her confrontation ended in failure, Xiao Peng and I were applauding inwardly. We knew you weren’t deliberately targeting her…”
“When Ye Cheng saw the situation wasn’t good, he wanted me to plan for the worst-case scenario. This time, I refused him. I’m human, not God. How could I remove those things from the Internet? How could I change the public opinion? How could erase the fans and the public’s memories? Furthermore, Ye Xin had always been unaware of herself. You’re an actress, she was just a celebrity. How could she compare to you? Ye Cheng threatened me using my grandfather and forced me to think of a way…”
“I tried to stall for time and told him I would think of a way. After that, I went to visit my grandfather at the sanatorium. He was already on his deathbed and I couldn’t bear to see him suffer. In the end, I decided to compromise again. However, before I could speak to Ye Cheng, my grandfather was evicted from the sanatorium. This was Ye Xin’s doing.”
“That night, after I brought my grandfather home, the house caught fire. The doors and the windows were sealed shut…”
Yang Li finally stopped speaking.
Song Ning felt her heart sink.
At this moment, nary a ripple could be seen in Yang Li’s eyes; they were calm and indifferent. She said, “Coincidentally, Xiao Peng came to see at that time. She was implicated because of me and lost her job. Fortunately, her family’s financial situation isn’t bad. She only joined the entertainment industry because she was fascinated with celebrities. She knew how powerful the Ye family was so she looked for me secretly. She’s the one who saved me. When I woke up in the hospital, my grandfather had already passed away…” Her voice trembled slightly when she spoke.
Yang Li tried to hold back her tears. The wounds on her face would not be able to withstand the tears. She was also growing close to running out of tears at this point. After a moment, she laughed and asked mockingly, “Do you think this is the end?”
“No. After that, I moved from the ICU to a normal ward. In the middle of the night, I was almost strangled to death by a fake nurse. If it weren’t for the real nurse doing her rounds, I would’ve died like my grandfather…”
“They really want my life. I didn’t call the police because Ye Cheng is currently in the Public Security Department. If I reported the matter to the police, it would be no different from walking into the tiger’s mouth. In the end, I decided to fake my death. Pengpeng found a doctor she used to know, and he used his connections to send me back to the ICU. Originally, he was going to announce my death…” Yang Li suddenly trailed off and looked at Song Ning.
“Did something happen to me?” Song Ning asked, staring at Yang Li intently.
Yang Li nodded. “The hospital caught fire that day…”
“The hospital caught fire?” Song Ning cried out.
Yang Li nodded.
Song Ning said anxiously, “How’s that possible? There are so many patients, doctors, and nurses. What should we do? What happened?”
Yang Li looked at Song Ning with a deep gaze. Even at this point, Song Ning was not thinking about herself at all. Song Ning was in this state, and yet, she worried for the people in the hospital who had nothing to do with her. The difference between humans was too great. There were some who were not worthy of being human at all.
However, why were good people not rewarded? In this world, good and evil were reversed. There was no distinction between right and wrong.
Song Ning’s tears began to roll down her face as she continued to say anxiously, “Sister Li, I just gave birth that day. I gave birth at 5:30 in the afternoon. When I fell asleep, the whole family was there. I was so seriously injured, then what about them? Where’s Mu Chen? Grandma? Where’s Sister Yu, Jiahui, and the others?”
