Chapter 163: Chapter 140 Substitute Literature?

Ye Zhaoyu’s facial expression showed even more obvious changes.

He tightly pursed his lips as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

The things he had always believed in seemed to suddenly have another explanation at this moment.

But he still didn’t want to believe it.

In his eyes, the innocent and simple Tong Simeng had, even at that early time, plotted against him. Perhaps, all of this was just a misunderstanding?

Ye Zhaoyu looked at Tong Simeng and couldn’t help but ask, “Simeng, what’s all this about? The family has been looking for me for so long. At that time, I was laid up in bed with a broken bone and couldn’t go out, so naturally, I couldn’t see any messages. What about you? Did you not see them either?”

Tong Simeng’s gaze flickered involuntarily.

At that time, she actually didn’t know about Ye Zhaoyu’s real identity.

However, that missing person notice stated that a hefty sum of money would be rewarded to anyone who could provide information about Ye Zhaoyu.

Tong Simeng realized then.

Ye Zhaoyu must be of significant status; otherwise, why would someone offer a seven-figure reward for information about him?

After realizing this, she didn’t say anything to Ye Zhaoyu but took even more meticulous care of him, carefully probing the reasons for his running away from home and then supporting him without reservation.

Back then.

She hadn’t really thought that Ye Zhaoyu could actually achieve much by playing games.

She just wanted to use it as an opportunity to get closer to Ye Zhaoyu.

When he couldn’t continue with the gaming, he would naturally return home honestly, and by then, what she could get would definitely be more than that mere reward.

Tong Simeng also hadn’t expected that Ye Zhaoyu would actually make a name for himself through gaming.

Afterward.

After reconciling with his family, the Ye Family provided him with the utmost support.

Tong Simeng became Ye Zhaoyu’s girlfriend and instantly became the envy of thousands of young women.

Tong Simeng couldn’t count the number of times she felt grateful that she had made the right bet back then.

But now.

This piece of the past had suddenly been brought up by Ye Bolin, and Tong Simeng’s expression changed as she said softly, “Zhaoyu, I didn’t see any missing person notice back then either. Perhaps the ‘all over the city’ that Big Brother mentioned was just an exaggeration?”

Ye Bolin let out a cold laugh, “An exaggerated tactic? Miss Tong, you were still working at that time. You were working for an advertising planning company called Cheng Feng, right?”

Tong Simeng’s face looked somewhat unpleasant, but she could only nod in acknowledgment.

“The area around where you were living and your company, I had placed a large number of missing person notices. Even if you were blind, you should have heard the surrounding people talking about it. Are you sure, you didn’t know anything?” Ye Bolin scoffed coldly.

Tong Simeng looked down, “I really didn’t know.”

“Fine, then I’ll go find your former colleagues from that company and ask them in detail if you really didn’t know or if you did know but pretended not to,” Ye Bolin said expressionlessly.

Tong Simeng’s face changed abruptly.

At that time, the search by the Ye Family was a massive affair, with a reward of a million for the finder. The whole office was abuzz with talk, and she had participated in those discussions too. If those colleagues were indeed brought in, she would definitely be exposed.

“Click, click.”

Tong Simeng couldn’t help but shoot Ye Xiao a glare.

Here she was being interrogated, and Ye Xiao had the mood to crack melon seeds!

Was she deliberately watching her own joke?

Ye Xiao, puzzled by her glare, couldn’t help but retort.

[What are you glaring at me for! Am I not even allowed to eat melon seeds? You have the nerve to glare at me, but first, why don’t you clear up the matter? Or is it that you just can’t explain at all?]
