Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 342 Mistaking the accelerator for the brake
The few words conveyed such a huge amount of information that they completely stunned the parties involved.

What do you mean that just because he chatted with Yu Xi a few more times, Assistant Chen wanted to eat her alive? What do you mean that he was so jealous that he went crazy and turned evil? Is this even human language?

Why can he understand each word separately, but become so incomprehensible when they are put together?

Li Yuesheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hearing the laughter, Du Anrao turned to look at her in confusion.

"No, it's nothing. I just suddenly remembered all the good things that have happened to me over the past twenty-odd years, and I couldn't help but laugh."

The truth is, even after thinking through all the unpleasant things she had encountered in the past twenty-odd years, she still couldn't suppress the wildly upturned corners of her mouth.

Her brother actually... hahaha...

Li Zhaoyang was completely stunned. He never expected that the problem his cousin had mentioned would be like this!

To be fair, Assistant Chen is a boss-level NPC with a significant role in the original novel. In order to get his cousin, he resorts to trickery and force, even conspiring with Li Qianxi.

Leveraging her position as her cousin's most trusted assistant, she helped the two steal company secrets and submitted pre-prepared forged documents to the company. She then used this to smear her cousin's company, accusing them of pimping and aiding certain scoundrels in the entertainment industry in sexually harassing underage artists. Although these allegations were later proven to be rumors, the press releases were already widespread.

At this point, Du Anrao couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy for Li Zhaoyang.

It's true that it's easy to spread rumors, but incredibly difficult to refute them. Once something breaks out on a large scale, it's impossible to immediately produce evidence to clarify the situation. After the one-sided accusations and celebrations subside, no matter how much evidence you present or how many announcements you issue, it won't make a ripple.

Because most people's thinking has been shaped by the previous frenzy, they only remember that a company was once condemned by righteous people across the internet for pimping.

Therefore, although Li Zhaoyang, the person in charge of the company, was arrested and released afterward and did not suffer any real harm, the company's reputation was severely damaged, giving Li Qianxi and her accomplice an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

The subsequent events involving Lü Jingzhu and her son dealt Li Zhaoyang a fatal blow, becoming the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Du Anrao was walking ahead, busy with his reflections, completely unaware of what was behind him. Li Yuesheng had already burst out laughing after hearing the phrase "seized by trickery and force," and didn't hear a single word of what followed.

In order to avoid attracting Du Anrao's attention, she had no choice but to tilt her head back and force back the tears that came out of her laughter, while making a trembling face, as if she were recalling the past and was extremely sad.

Anyone who didn't know better would probably think she had encountered something bad. Li Zhaoyang's eyelids twitched, and he wished he could rush forward immediately to stop Du Anrao and ask her to save face for him.

However, in order to keep the secret, Li Zhaoyang had no choice but to swallow his anger. No matter how furious he was inside, he had to pretend to be calm and act as if he knew nothing about it.

[However, I was somewhat surprised that Assistant Chen left so readily. You see, in the original story, Assistant Chen was a bit of a yandere; he had a crush on his cousin but didn't dare confess, fearing he'd lose his job and be unable to stay by his cousin's side, yet he was hostile towards all the men and women around his cousin who received his favor.]

Upon hearing the words "unrequited love," Li Zhaoyang's anxiety completely vanished.

He could still bury his head in the sand and deceive himself into thinking that Assistant Chen had ulterior motives and impure intentions towards him.

Now, although he does have ulterior motives, they are not the kind of ulterior motives he is thinking of!
Like a wolf guarding a delicious lamb, its guarding is only temporary; its ultimate goal is to devour the lamb completely. After all, instinctively, a wolf finds it hard to resist the temptation of a sheep. Therefore, upon realizing his cousin might be taken away, and with Li Qianxi and her companion's instigation, he instantly turned to the dark side. He believed that since he couldn't reach the high and mighty CEO Li, by pulling him down from his position and making him even lower than himself, he would have the opportunity to possess him, control him, and disregard his wishes to imprison him and claim him as his own. Ugh, what a morbid possessiveness! To put it bluntly, he's a selfish and self-serving psychopath, a potential outlaw.

Li Zhaoyang: "..." You're the sheep, your whole family are sheep! How dare you have such filthy and disgusting thoughts about him!
Thank goodness that bastard isn't around right now, otherwise I would have broken both his legs and taught him a lesson about who the wolf and the sheep are!
Li Yuesheng's face also darkened. She liked to bully her brother, but that didn't mean everyone could bully him.

The little sister is wrong about something. It wasn't their good fortune that Assistant Chen left early; it was Assistant Chen's good fortune!
"Luckily, according to the original plot, the cousin fell from grace, and this Assistant Chen was also abandoned because the male and female leads betrayed him, ending up behind bars. Otherwise, the cousin, now fallen from grace, might have faced even more terrible things. This can be considered a small good deed inadvertently done by those wicked men and women."

Li Zhaoyang and the other two: Heh...

After recalling all these unpleasant things, Du Anrao let out a long sigh of relief and completely relaxed.

[Assistant Chen's early departure averts the crisis. There's probably no need to remind my cousin of these things anymore. Sigh, ignorance is bliss sometimes.]

Li Zhaoyang: "..." No, he already knew.

In other words, since the person has already left, why should we let him know about this?
It would have been fine if he knew about this, but why today of all days! And now! Why let his sister know about it too?

Li Zhaoyang had no doubt that once he stepped out of that door today, the news would spread like wildfire to every corner of his house, not even sparing the neighbor's dog that often came to visit.

Ahhhh... his illustrious reputation...

Li Zhaoyang looked utterly dejected, while Li Yuesheng was quite satisfied with the trip's outcome. After patting her older brother's shoulder sympathetically, she eagerly took Du Anrao's hand and left.

The two arrived around two or three in the afternoon, but this time it was already dusk.

While discussing with Du Anrao where to have dinner that evening, Li Yuesheng turned the steering wheel to prepare to leave.

The car slowly drove out of the parking space, and after driving a short distance, a figure suddenly appeared not far from the front of the car.

The underground parking garage was pitch black, but that didn't stop Du Anrao, sitting in the passenger seat, from recognizing the person whose face was glistening under the car headlights.

[Huh? Isn't that... Gong Haoming? He's here, he's here, he's brought his staged accident scam!]

Gong Haoming?! Li Yuesheng's foot, which was pressing the brake, paused, and she stepped on the pedal next to it.

The next second, the loud engine roar, accompanied by someone's pig-like screams, echoed for a long time in the silent underground parking garage.

Du Anrao turned his head stiffly to look at the person next to him: "Sister?"

Li Yuesheng remained calm and composed, saying confidently, "I was too nervous and stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake."

Du Anrao: "..."
