Zhao Minjue, who had already picked up the baseball bat, paused for a moment and quickly put it back into the trunk.

Sitting to the side, Yu Huanshui deliberately asked in the direction of the vehicle.

"Mr. Zhao, what are you doing?"

Zhao Minjue quickly closed the trunk and said with a smile.

"It's alright, it's alright. Xiao Yu, you've kept the money safe. Where's the USB drive?"

Yu Huanshui stretched and yawned, reaching into his pocket. Three pairs of eyes from President Wei and the others stared intently at his movements. Only Zhao Minjue's lips curled into a barely perceptible sneer; he wanted to see how Yu Huanshui would perform.

Time passed second by second, but Yu Huanshui's hand, which was in his pocket, remained stuck. President Wei couldn't help but gently remind him.

"Xiao Yu, cash on delivery, where's your USB drive?"

Yu Huanshui slowly pulled his hand out of his pocket, then scratched the back of his head and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"I think I forgot to bring it when I came today. How about we reschedule the transaction tomorrow?"

President Wei stumbled and almost fell. His anger turned red at a visible speed. He stretched out his hand and pointed tremblingly at Yu Huanshui.

His anger had reached its peak, rendering him speechless. Zhao Minjue, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He ran to the trunk, pulled out two metal baseball bats without saying a word, and threw one of them directly at President Wei.

President Wei took the item, weighed it in his hand, and the anger on his face finally subsided a bit. But now that things had come to this point, there was no point in wasting words. President Wei and Zhao Minjue surrounded Yu Huanshui from the left and right.

Yu Huanshui seemed to be stunned, frozen in his chair, not moving an inch, even with his legs still crossed, watching helplessly as the two men surrounded him.

When the two were only three or five steps away, Yu Huanshui seemed to realize what was happening. He hurriedly stood up, pointed at President Wei and Zhao Minjue, and stammered.

"Mr. Wei... Mr. Wei, what... what are you doing? You're all so foolish! You're all so foolish! I'm a dying man. If you kill me now, and the police find out, not just maybe, but they definitely will find out. We're all high-tech now. Think about it, if they find out, you'll have a murder charge on your head, and you'll be in big trouble!"

"The crimes you're committing now will at most get you a life sentence. If you behave well in there, the worst you'll get is for your family to send you some Ma Yinglong ointment. Just bear with it, and you'll be out in twenty years at most. Mr. Wei, I think you're not even forty yet. You have so much of a life ahead of you! How foolish you are!"

After hearing Yu Huanshui's words, President Wei hesitated for a moment, but Zhao Minjue could no longer hold back and scolded President Wei.

"Wei Taijin, are you still daydreaming? Don't you remember your fiftieth birthday last month? What's the difference between a life sentence and being cremated? Get rid of Yu Huanshui, and the money we've made over the years will be enough for us to live a carefree life for the rest of our days. Stop dawdling and get to work!"

Mr. Wei's slight hesitation was emboldened by Zhao Minjue's words. He gripped the baseball bat tightly once more, staring intently at Yu Huanshui. He tapped the baseball bat lightly against his palm, and a ruthless glint slowly appeared on his lips.

Only Liang Anni, standing to the side, looked somewhat reluctant, covering her face and unable to bear watching what was about to happen.

Seeing the two approaching footsteps, Yu Huanshui showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he looked on with a sense of regret as he watched the two men walk further and further down the path of crime, muttering to himself incessantly.

"You two are so foolish! Mr. Wei, if you look this well-preserved, I'd believe you even if you were thirty-five, let alone fifty! Even if you sit here for twenty years, you'd only be in your early seventies! If you're lucky, you might even be able to celebrate your seventieth birthday. These days, the average lifespan of a Chinese man is seventy-six. You just don't have the confidence to listen to your brother's advice..."

President Wei completely broke down, his eyes burning with envy, and he glared fiercely at Yu Huanshui, shouting.

"Yu Huanshui, shut up! If you utter another word, I'll smash your dog mouth in!"

As he spoke, he seemed to have let go of all his thoughts, picked up a metal baseball bat, and rushed towards Yu Huanshui. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: I'm going to beat this son of a bitch to death!

Zhao Minjue quickened his pace, a cruel smile appearing on his face. He picked up a baseball bat and lunged menacingly at Yu Huanshui.

Just as the two men raised their baseball bats, the door was suddenly pushed open, and two security guards rushed in, shouting to Mr. Wei and his group.

"Boss, boss, there are so many police officers around! So many police officers!"

As they were talking, countless police sirens blared around them, and a group of armed police officers rushed in through the gate and onto the wall.

President Wei and Zhao Minjue froze on the spot with their baseball bats raised. Only Yu Huanshui shook his head, sighed, walked to the two of them, and said with a regretful tone.

"You've been so foolish, so foolish, Mr. Wei and Mr. Zhao! I told you, listen to my advice, if you can't control yourselves, don't go further and further down the path of crime. Look at what's happened now!"

Zhao Minjue's face was ashen, and the baseball bat in his hand fell to the ground with a clanging sound. Only General Manager Wei's face was pale, and his body was stiff. He held the baseball bat high in his hand, but his whole body was stiff and he couldn't relax.

Yu Huanshui stepped forward with a smile, gently patted President Wei's shoulder, and comforted him with a smile.

"Mr. Wei, keep going! Life is full of disappointments, but take it easy. Life is worth living, and there are still many wonderful times ahead. Don't give up on yourself! Keep going! Keep going! You can do it!"

Chapter 187: Let it go!

Yu Huanshui watched as President Wei and the other two looked dejected and were handcuffed as they got into the car. Only then did he raise his head, a smile on his lips, and wave to the live stream hanging on the edge of the factory.

At this moment, the number of viewers in the live stream has just exceeded one million. Countless people are typing "666" in front of their screens, and quite a few people are cursing Yu Huanshui for being too immoral, watching such a beautiful mature woman being taken away without taking advantage of her, which is such a waste. Some people are also saying that Yu Huanshui is too despicable, but I like him, etc.!

Many people who came in later didn't know what had happened before, so they could only watch the replay. Media outlets across the country started frantically editing the video, preparing to use it for headlines.

When Yu Huanshui opened his phone and saw that the live stream had already attracted over a million viewers, he was completely stunned. Before he could even come to his senses, he was pulled into a police car and taken directly to the police press conference. He was then adorned with a big red flower and, still in a daze, began receiving various medals and certificates, culminating in a 100,000 yuan reward for his act of bravery.

After the press conference, the TV station staff arranged for Yu Huanshui to have dinner. After dinner, it was already 6 p.m., and Yu Huanshui, who had been fussing over the whole afternoon, didn't even have time to refuse.

Once again, he was pulled into an indoor interview room. Two sofas were placed there, and a stylishly dressed female host was putting on makeup and posing. When she saw Yu Huanshui arrive, she quickly stepped forward, smiled, and reached out her hand, taking Yu Huanshui's hand while saying respectfully.

"Mr. Yu, welcome to our program. I've long admired you. Please come this way, please. Our makeup artist is ready. Let's discuss the program content while we do your makeup."

Yu Huanshui remained bewildered as a fat woman rubbed color onto his face, while the host next to him laughed and said something to Yu Huanshui.

"Mr. Yu, we're about to ask you some pointed and personal questions. You won't mind, will you?"

Just as Yu Huanshui was about to say that he minded, the makeup artist started brushing his nose and face wildly with a large brush, leaving him no time to speak. Seeing this, the host next to him quickly laughed and said...

"If Mr. Yu doesn't mind, that would be great. Alright, the show is about to start. Don't worry, Mr. Yu, feel free to say whatever you want to say. We're pre-recorded, so we'll cut out some overly private questions. Come on, lights and sound, get ready!"

Yu Huanshui was thus pushed to the forefront. Yes, he was pushed onto the stage by someone. At this moment, his entire body had been changed. His coat had been replaced with a hospital gown, and he was being held in a wheelchair, dressed as a standard patient.

Yu Huanshui felt that he had put on too much powder on his face. He didn't have a mirror, so he didn't know how he looked. But he was sure he looked very haggard. Looking around, he saw that dozens of extras were sitting on both sides watching the show. Yu Huanshui was stunned. What kind of show is this?

Just then, the music from the surrounding program started playing. Why did this music sound so awkward? After the music stopped, the female host stood up, her expression solemn and dignified, and slowly began to speak.

"There is true affection and true love in the world. Welcome to our heartfelt search program. Today, our guest is Yu Huanshui, the ordinary hero who has recently become a viral sensation online!"

Yu Huanshui was filled with questions.

What kind of show is this? Something feels off. But at least it's pre-recorded, so Yu Huanshui doesn't really care. He'll see how it goes!

"Today, we have been entrusted by Ms. Gan, who hopes our program can salvage her marriage. What caused this once loving couple to turn against each other and become like strangers? Is it a distortion of human nature, or...?"

"Now let's revisit some of the loving moments this couple once shared..."

Yu Huanshui was quite bewildered; was this show cursed?

Gan Hong sought help from the TV station to salvage her relationship with him?

Yu Huanshui looked at the background screen behind him, which displayed photos of him and Gan Hong laughing and joking over the years. The photos showed them from when they first met, to when he proposed, to when Gan Hong gave birth, and finally to when he held the baby and they took a photo booth picture together, with one little face and two little faces frozen on the screen.

Yu Huanshui stared at the photos on the screen, feeling somewhat dazed as memories flooded back. Just then, a burst of applause interrupted his thoughts.

The host stood up, walked to Yu Huanshui, and with a touched expression, slowly spoke.

"Mr. Yu, seeing the loving scenes between you and your husband in the past is heartbreaking. We have seen the news about you and Ms. Gan some time ago. I heard that you discovered Ms. Gan's infidelity, so you decided to do a paternity test and found out that your son was not your biological son. That is why you are avoiding Ms. Gan, is that right?"

Looking at the expectant female host, Yu Huanshui felt a surge of annoyance. This was truly an age of entertainment to the death!

He glanced at the camera, expressionless, and slowly extended his middle finger!

Seeing Yu Huanshui's attitude, the female host gave an awkward smile, looking somewhat pitiful, and spoke in a pleading tone.

"Mr. Yu, it's just for the sake of the show, please understand, please understand, we'll cut this part out, Mr. Yu, please cooperate! Our local TV station's small program doesn't have much popularity to begin with, and we finally have a popular internet celebrity like you, so we can only rely on your fame!"

Yu Huanshui rolled her eyes at her, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded. The contract with the TV station did indeed include several local talk shows. Okay, once the task is completed, there will be an appearance fee for each appearance.

"Alright, get this done quickly, stop with the nonsense!"

Seeing that Yu Huanshui had agreed, the female host nodded quickly, glanced around, and the lights and cameras continued to focus and resume.

"Mr. Yu, our client today is also here on the show. She has a lot to say to you. Would you like to meet her?"

Yu Huanshui raised his head, glanced towards the backstage area, and nodded.

Seeing Yu Huanshui nod, the female host quickly began making arrangements. Background music started playing, colorful lights on both sides lit up, and a prop door slowly opened.

Gan Hong, looking haggard, led Yu Chen out slowly from inside the door. She led Yu Chen to Yu Huanshui.

Children don't understand adult matters. When Yu Chen suddenly saw his father, he immediately ran towards Yu Huanshui crying. Yu Huanshui looked at Yu Chen, sighed, reached out, hugged him, and ruffled his hair. Looking at the son he had raised for seven years, Yu Huanshui felt a mix of emotions.

Yu Chen held onto Yu Huanshui's hand tightly, refusing to let go, and asked while crying.

"Dad, do you not want me anymore? Dad, please come back. I still want Dad to take me to school. I miss you so much, Dad!"

Yu Huanshui didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only continue to rub Yu Chen's head. Finally, he sighed, didn't say a word, raised his head, and looked coldly at Gan Hong.

Gan Hong felt awkward and conflicted under his gaze. Finally, she slowly stepped forward and walked to Yu Huanshui.

The female host next to her quickly told the camera to focus and the lighting effects to be set up.

Gan Hong walked guiltily to Yu Huanshui, then slowly squatted down, her expression sorrowful, and spoke in a tone that seemed to be pleading and begging for forgiveness.

"Honey, I was wrong before, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have done those things behind your back. Now that you're in this state, all I want is to spend your last days with our son, so that our family can be reconciled, okay? Honey, I was wrong, please forgive me, okay?"

As she spoke, Gan Hong burst into tears, hugging Yu Chen tightly as she cried. The mother and son then started wailing together, each holding onto one of Yu Huanshui's legs. While crying, Gan Hong didn't forget to use Yu Chen as a shield, and Yu Chen cried along with her, calling out for his father.

The lighting technician and camera were fixed on Yu Huanshui. His face, already covered in white powder, looked even paler under the lights.

Upon seeing this scene, the female host had three thoughts running through her mind.

"awesome!"

The show was so entertaining! Now it's time for me to step in and give them a final pep talk, so they can all hug each other and cry their hearts out, creating a truly heartwarming happy ending.

The title of this episode is "Although I am in great pain, I still choose to forgive!"

"Perfect! Then hire another five thousand online trolls to lavish praise on Yu Huanshui as a good man in the comments section. The comments should all be praising this phenomenon. Finally, mobilize the female masses to post some controversial comments in the comments section, such as, 'Although I cheated, I am still a good woman. Although the child is not yours, you still love him. Husband, I love you!'"

The female host was still lost in her fantasy when suddenly, Yu Huanshui, who was sitting in a wheelchair, slowly stood up, looked down at Gan Hong who was lying on the ground crying, and said coldly.

"Gan Hong, I'm giving you a chance. Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau at 9:30 tomorrow morning and get a divorce quietly. For the sake of the child, I'll give you the chance to leave with nothing. From now on, we're even. Consider all these years as feeding the dogs. That's it!"

After saying that, Yu Huanshui stopped pretending and strode out of the studio in his hospital gown. The female host next to him was stunned for a long time until Yu Huanshui reached the door and then remembered to call out to the staff.

"The show hasn't finished recording yet, Mr. Yu, don't go!"

The two staff members hurriedly apologized and tried to pull Yu Huanshui away, but when Yu Huanshui pulled, the two of them collided directly, and Yu Huanshui's figure quickly disappeared from the live broadcast room.

Yu Huanshui easily evaded the pursuers, walked out of the TV station, quickly hailed a taxi, and disappeared into the hazy night.

Sitting in the car, Yu Huanshui turned off his phone and quietly looked at the night outside the window. Suddenly, he felt that this kind of life didn't seem to have any meaning.

Life may seem lively and bustling, but it's not real at all. How many of those luxury cars that drive by on the road are actually the same kind of people as President Wei and Zhao Minjue, despite their glamorous appearance?

Looking at the happy family on the street, how many people are like you? In reality, not even their own children are their biological offspring!

Thinking of how Yu Chen had just hugged his leg and called him "Dad," and all the little moments he had shared with his son over the years, Yu Huanshui looked out the window, his expression somewhat dazed.

Let's put an end to this kind of life tomorrow. This is not the life I want. While there's still some time left, let's win Luan Bingran over and start a new life!

The next day, Yu Huanshui waited for Gan Hong at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Gan Hong looked at Yu Huanshui, bit her lip, and ultimately didn't say a word. The two went into the Civil Affairs Bureau and directly got a divorce.
