acfr chapter 31

He Ziming resolutely pushed Su Yuehe away and helped the medical staff put Lu Wensheng on the stretcher. Su Yuehe, who was pushed away by him suddenly, stared blankly at him at a loss.

He Ziming didn’t even look at him, and strode forward beside the stretcher carried by the medical staff.

“Fang Ming …” As He Ziming passed by Lin Zhixing’s side, Lin Zhixing suddenly grabbed his wrist.

He didn’t know why, but Lin Zhixing suddenly felt that if he didn’t catch him, he would soon lose this person. He was at a loss and subconsciously wanted him to stay, but he didn’t know what to say.

He Ziming pulled off the hand holding his arm indifferently, the depths of his eyes were so cold that he could almost freeze people to death.

“Ding! Possible target gong Lin Zhixing’s favorability +5. At present, his favorability is 85.”

“Ding! Possible target gong Lu Wensheng’s favorability +20, At present, his favorability is 100.”

“Ding! Possible target gong Su Yuehe’s favorability +30. At present, his favorability is 60.”

The favorability prompts for the three mission targets sounded in He Ziming’s mind at almost the same time.

He Ziming followed the ambulance all the way to the hospital. After simply treating the wound on his back, he did not wait for Lin Zhixing and Su Yuehe to come find him, and left on his own.

As soon as he left the hospital, he immediately sent a message to the anonymous number with his mobile phone: “I considered what you said last time and decided to agree. Let’s cooperate.”

“Okay, let’s talk about it when we meet.” The anonymous number quickly returned the message.

He Ziming knew the person hiding behind the anonymous number was the big villain of this story, Su Yuehe’s half-brother Su Heng.

Since then, Su Heng has never broken contact with He Ziming, and has been trying to stir up the relationship between He Ziming, Lin Zhixing, and Su Yuehe. He Ziming kept a hesitant attitude and always left him hanging.

But now, He Ziming though that it’s time to meet Su Heng for a bit.

After confirming that Su Yuehe was not the person he was looking for, He Ziming felt that his abuse of Lin Zhixing and Su Yuehe could be even more unscrupulous.

When Lu Wensheng woke up from his bed, his secretary worriedly stepped forward: “President Lu, you are awake. But I’m worried to death, the doctor said that you are a little concussed. It’s really unfortunate, how could you run into such a thing?”

As the secretary said that, he turned around and went out to call the doctor.

“Don’t go!” Lu Wensheng recovered from his brief confusion, immediately grabbed the secretary’s arm, and asked anxiously: “When I was at the caved-in construction site, in the dark I heard a voice. He stayed with me in the dark, reassuring and calming me. Who was that person? “

The voice penetrated his soul. He told him that his soul was drifting, and that he was the dock that his soul had been waiting for for a long time.

It’s his homecoming[1]…

“Was it Su Yuehe of Tianxing who was stuck with you at the collapsed construction site, Xiao Su?” The secretary looked at him strangely. Although he didn’t know what to do with this question, he still guessed and answered.

Lu Wensheng rejected it as soon as he heard it: “No, no, it’s not him …”

He clearly remembered his conversation with Su Yuehe before he lost his consciousness, and the voice that was engraved into his soul did not belong to him …

“Was it President Fang? You were found together, and he accompanied you the entire way from the stretcher and came to the hospital.” The secretary scratched his head, and then remembered that there was still another person, Fang Ming.

Lu Wensheng’s heart jumped: “President Fang? Fang Ming …”

“Yes, it’s Fang Ming.” Lu Wensheng suddenly recalled this name, and the voice that held him to their chest and constantly soothed him, telling him to not be afraid reappeared in his mind.

At this moment, he finally confirmed that the person was Fang Ming.

The secretary’s mouth was still shattered: “Speaking of it, we have to thank Mr. Fang well. I heard that after he learned that you were trapped, he rushed over to find you without waiting for rescuers. It was such a big typhoon and it was so dangerous, to be trapped with you … if it weren’t for Mr. Fang, we wouldn’t have known where you were trapped. “

“Yes, we’ll thank him very well.” Lu Wensheng whispered.

Every silhouette of Fang Ming’s filled his head.

“President Lu is afraid of darkness and thunder? Is he a little claustrophobic?” Just when Lu Wensheng was thinking about He Ziming, He Ziming was also asking about Lu Wensheng with some acquaintances in the circle.

The acquaintance of Fang Ming and Lu Wensheng was stunned when he heard He Ziming’s question, and immediately answered: “Wensheng, oh, yes …”

“He seemed to have been kidnapped when he was a kid. The kidnappers locked him up alone in a small dark room, during the rainy season, with the thunder and lightning. After he as a kid was rescued, it took a long time for him to recover, and since then, he has been afraid of the dark and thunder. It’s no better, even now. “The acquaintance said as though reminiscing.

He Ziming responded immediately: “Oh, so it’s like that huh.”

He became more and more certain that Lu Wensheng was the person he was looking for.

“Why, Mr. Fang, for what reason are you asking this?” The man (thought it) was a little strange.

He Ziming smiled and said, “It’s nothing, it was just a little strange to see him so afraid of the dark and thunder.”

“Ohh.”

Just when He Ziming was about to exchange a few words with this person, his phone suddenly rang. It wasn’t a random person, but the Lu Wensheng that he was talking about.

“Hey, Fang Ming. It’s Lu Wensheng.” The voice on the other end of the phone was completely magnetic.

The corners of He Ziming’s lips slightly bent, but his voice was still calm as always: “I know, President Lu. What can I do for you?”

“I’d like to invite you for a meal for that day, (to) thank you very much. Does President Fang have time for this one[2]?” Lu Wensheng asked him.

He Ziming smiled softly: “… Of course.”

He will finish his task soon, and now it is time for him to fall in love.

——

In the following plot line, He Ziming did not take any other actions, but chose to follow the development of the original world’s plot. He began to cooperate with Su Heng to intensify the framing of Su Yuehe and secretly sell the Lin’s group company secrets. As a result, Lin family’s biddings failed repeatedly, and their stocks and their prestige plummeted.

Su Yuehe was originally unwilling to believe that Fang Ming was the ghost[3] behind it because of the change of his point of view of Fang Ming. However, with the addition of the memories of his previous life and the re-enactment of the events of the previous life, he had no choice but to believe that Fang Ming was again cooperating with Su Heng.

The development of the plot was half-way through, so there was still time to desperately turn the tide. With the memory of his previous life, he found a string of evidence and began to find out who was the ghost behind the scenes.

In the end, they found Fang Ming as expected.

When Su Yuehe and Lin Zhixing found He Ziming, he had just rolled in the sheets (sex) with Lu Wensheng and was about to put on a bathrobe. Lin Zhixing broke through the door and once again staged Su Yuehe’s memory of catching a couple in the act in bed.

However, the person who opened the room with Fang Ming in his memory had changed.

And their own feelings have changed.

Lin Zhixing broke into the door panting heavily. At a glance he saw He Ziming, who was dishevelled and full of mottled kiss marks, and Lu Wensheng, who was still lying on the bed. His face became ashen in an instant.

He Ziming stood there with no fear, as if he had something to rely on[4], as if he had expected it. The expression on his face was so calm, like he was not embarrassed to be caught in the act in bed by his boyfriend.

Lin Zhixing looked at his heartless attitude, and his whole face distorted, his whole person was flooded with anger. He couldn’t believe his eyes. It wasn’t until this moment whenhe completely lost Fang Ming, when he saw Fang Ming go to bed with others with his own eyes, that he suddenly realized that he had loved Fang Ming.

But Fang Ming’s fearless attitude was telling him that he no longer loved him.

Lin Zhixingwas unable to restrain his anger, and he stared at He Ziming for a long time, but he couldn’t bear to touch him. Just like in Su Yuehe’s memory, he brandished his fists with red eyes and went to ruthlessly punch the adulterer.

“Stop it!” But before his fist could swing down, he was stopped by He Ziming.

He Ziming looked at him indifferently.

Lin Zhixing suddenly felt like a knife was cutting into his heart. He took out all the information about He Ziming’s framing of Su Yuehe, sale of the company’s confidential information out of a briefcase, and slammed it on He Ziming while trembling: “You-how can you do this?”

He never believed that Fang Ming would do such a thing, even if he saw the evidence with his own eyes, he was unwilling to believe it, and only thought of confronting Fang Ming first.

In his eyes, Fang Ming has always been the one who silently guarded him, loved him, and bore everything for him.

He never questioned Fang Ming’s loyalty and love for him …

However, now he was confronting Fang Ming face to face with the evidence, and wanted Fang Ming to tell him that all this was a misunderstanding, but he did not want to run into such a scene …

“Fang Ming, I never believed it was you. Zhixing and I both believed in you … but why did you?” Su Yuehe looked at Fang Ming in a very complicated mood, grieving and lamenting.

He couldn’t figure out exactly what caused Fang Ming to do such a thing.

In his previous life, he could also brainwash himself. It was because Fang Ming was sinister by nature, and he was not a good person. But now he needs a reason …

“Why did I? Did I do something?” He Ziming was hit by the materials thrown by Lin Zhixing. He didn’t even look at the materials, just very indifferently sneered and asked, “Was it me joining hands with Su Heng to frame your white moonlight, or selling the Lin Family’s company secrets? Hm?”

“You–” Lin Zhixing didn’t want him to admit it, and was immediately furious.

He Ziming smiled suddenly: “Yeah, it’s me. I just want Su Yuehe to die, I want your reputation to be completely ruined and have nothing at all, what? What can you do to me?”

“I thought I treated you well. I handed over the company to be run by you, my parents are so good to you. How can you do this? Fang Ming, how can you?” Lin Zhixing’s eyes were red, almost dripping blood, he was furious.

He Ziming sneered, and faced his questioning with disdain: “How can I do this? You think you treat me well, how can you say that?”

“Lin Zhixing, what qualifications do you have to question me?” He asked back.

Some people, just like this, will never remember the harm they caused others.

Lin Zhixing even forgot himself: “Fang Ming, we’ve been together for six years, and I admit that I sometimes don’t care enough about you, because Yuehe is my friend who I care about too much, but I have never had affair in the past six years. Although we are not married, I left you all my money and my entire company to take care of, I have never doubted you, I almost broke off from my family for you … I treat you as someone I will live with all my life. Fang Ming ask yourself in your heart, where have I let you down in these six years!”

The accusations and interrogations repeated over and over again were all of Fang Ming’s betrayal against him.

“Oh, where did you let me down?” He Ziming mocked and laughed: “Lin Zhixing, I’m afraid that even you yourself have forgotten what you’ve done to me?”

Lin Zhixing choked, and had selective amnesia: “What did I … do to you?”

“You took my kidney and put it in Su Yuehe’s body!” He Ziming stepped forward, and on the behalf of the original host, gave Lin Zhixing a slap in the face.

TL Note

FACE SLAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.  It was kind of obvious why Fang Ming wanted revenge so badly, but man I kind of liked the reveal.  Lin Zhixing scum man rot in hell 😀 Kind of disappointed that Su Yuehe is not the ML in this arc, I liked his development better.  However I’m happy that He Ziming won’t have to deal with a scummy lover in this transmigration, and their relationship will be <3.

I actually finished this yesterday (in your perspective), but I’m gonna time this release because I will be trying to finish the entire arc today!!!! 😀  It’s a little exhausting posting immediately when I’m finished with a chapter, so I’m going to try space them out a little, and maybe have an actual schedule :0.  (I accidentally posted this phew I unposted it tho.  man am I clumsy QAQ)

What would be a good time to post something?  I’m in EST, and I tend to post at like… 3 or 4am.  I guess it wouldn’t really matter for anyone outside of my own timezone, but maybe I should time these releases for like…. 8pm est?  Most of my readers are from the US, so…. (I do get a lot of viewers from the Philippines, pog!)  I will time this for like.  12pm on the 12th.  I think that should be okay until I get an actual schedule together.

A little thing bc I like reading comments: any favourite novels you’re reading currently?  I’m juggling around 30ish novels, but I am constantly on the look out for more!
