Ye Chenyu Did It
Mount Lu.
The nighttime scenery is still very charming, but it's a pity that, no matter how beautiful the words are, in terms of artistic conception, it's only comparable to the feeling of "Qing Yu An: Yuan Xi". If it's about depicting the prosperity of the city, it can't surpass the captivating charm of "Watching the Sea Tide".
Of course, even a wide-angle panoramic photograph, which is commonplace for modern people, would be enough to amaze the ancients. They might even have thrown down their brushes and ink, sighing, "What's the use of studying painting for thirty years!"
All of the above is utter nonsense.
Ma Weiming was helped up by the middle-aged man. He felt sore all over, especially his arms and the outside of his thighs, which felt badly bruised. His shoulder twitched, and his neck and chest were in excruciating pain.
"Mr. Ma... this doesn't look like an enemy." The middle-aged man rubbed the back of his head. When he tried to pull him away, he was pushed aside and crashed into the railing. It took him a long time to climb over to Ma Weiming's side.
"Yeah, it's inexplicable. I don't know this person at all." Ma Weiming thought about it for a long time, but he had never seen the person before and didn't even have a memory of him. Although the other party was punching and kicking him, he obviously didn't intend to kill him... It seemed that there was just some minor matter that made him feel annoyed, and he was too lazy to waste words with him, so he attacked him.
Ma Weiming is certainly a business talent. Most people who have achieved success in this area, except for some technical entrepreneurs who may lack this ability, are very good at perceiving the other party's motives.
This person had no deep-seated hatred for me, nor had I offended them in any extreme way, so why was I beaten up without any verbal altercation?
Thinking about it carefully, it was right after I said "you flatter me" that the other person replied, "Since you know it's flattery, why are you smiling so happily?"
Then it started with punches and kicks, what a lunatic!
"Could it be jealousy..." The middle-aged man cautiously pointed to the viewing balcony above, but Qin Yanan was no longer there.
Ma Weiming pondered for a moment, gave a wry smile, and shook his head.
"I'm not saying this out loud... but this woman is too heartless. Shouldn't she at least come down and offer some words of comfort?" the middle-aged man said indignantly.
"She might even think I'm faking it," Ma Weiming thought, having given up hope. "Let's call the police first."
The middle-aged man secretly praised him. If it were an ordinary spoiled young master or a successful member of the upper class, they would probably have already flew into a rage. How could they tolerate such a senseless beating and humiliation?
Ma Weiming's Unicorn Company was highly valued by the local government, and the Ma Family had been deeply rooted in Junsha for many years. Ma Weiming knew that he would be able to find the person from earlier soon.
"Having money without strong backing within the system is just being rich, like everyone else, the only difference being between a leaner sheep and a fatter sheep. Only when influence is deeply embedded within the system can one become a true powerhouse." With the help of his arriving driver, Ma Weiming and the middle-aged man got into the car, and he gasped. "Look at that girl from the Zhu Family, so arrogant and disdainful of everyone. It's all because the Zhu Family, besides having influence over Taiwan's politics, has a close relationship with the Qin Family. For the Zhu Family, both Taiwan and the mainland are just two separate investments. To become a true powerhouse, you need the qualifications to invest politically."
"Mr. Ma has a grand vision." The middle-aged man sighed inwardly at Ma Weiming's ambition; it turned out that this young man wanted to create a powerful family under his control.
"Therefore, I don't need Qin Yanan to have any feelings for me. I just need to make a move and create a beautiful story." Ma Weiming glanced back at the residence hidden behind the mountains and trees, and said coldly, "If it doesn't work out, there's no harm in it."
Ma Weiming's car descended the mountain a little earlier than usual.
Qin Yanan looked out the window at the driveway to Mount Lu, then called Liu Chang'an, "Ma Weiming was beaten up on the mountain today, and the person who beat him up looks remarkably like Elder Ye when he was young!"
"Oh dear, in broad daylight... Excuse me, it's dark now. Under such clear and just circumstances, how could someone act so recklessly and beat up such a promising and outstanding young man?" Liu Chang'an said with great distress.
"Shouldn't your focus be on someone who looks like Senior Ye?" Qin Yanan asked curiously.
"Why do you women always have to dictate what others should focus on?" Liu Chang'an said, bewildered. "Isn't it perfectly natural that my focus is different from yours?"
Qin Yanan hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly, "Anyway, I just find it very strange."
"Yes, you're a woman, so just go with your gut feeling. If you think something's strange, then it's strange... What's so strange about it? Can't Ma Weiming take a beating?"
"What I find strange is... I remember Ma Benwei was being flippant to me back then, and you said you hated it when people treated someone with Ye Sijin's face so lightly and disrespectfully, so you hit Ma Benwei." Qin Yanan couldn't remember exactly what Liu Chang'an said back then, but that was the gist of it.
"Oh, that was a long time ago. I thought I hit Ma Benwei because he had a face that looked like it deserved a punch, but I didn't know there was another reason. I don't remember."
"Of all days, Ma Weiming got beaten up. Ma Weiming is pursuing me, so I don't think it's surprising if you beat Ma Weiming up. The reason is probably that you hate it when people pursue me because I have a great-grandmother's face." Qin Yanan thought carefully. "Do you remember the day you came to my house and made mutton head meat to show off to the little fairy? Ma Weiming was also on the platform downstairs that day, and you even met him... At that time, I wondered if you would beat Ma Weiming up too?"
"I'm not crazy, why would I hit him for no reason? He's pursuing you, so I'm going to hit him?" Liu Chang'an said, bewildered. "What kind of logic is that? There's absolutely no reason for it."
"I don't know either... Anyway, when Ma Weiming got beaten up today, I thought of you." Qin Yanan was also a bit confused and didn't know what she was saying. Of course, she didn't suspect that Liu Chang'an had impersonated Ye Chenyu to beat up Ma Weiming. With Liu Chang'an's idle nature, how could he go on such a stunt for her? This kind of behavior of beating up a suitor seemed like jealousy. No matter how much Liu Chang'an messed around, he wouldn't impersonate his great-grandfather to do such a thing.
"Have you been sleepwalking lately?" Liu Chang'an asked casually.
"No... no." Qin Yanan seemed to be still thinking about something, and hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Then go and comfort Young Master Ma. This call makes me feel like a criminal suspect." Liu Chang'an sighed and said seriously, "Even if Ye Chenyu did it, it couldn't be me, Liu Chang'an. I swear to God."
"Who asked you to swear? I just suddenly remembered it for no reason... Anyway, my mind is a mess. Never mind, I heard you're selling rice noodles?"
"Yes, come over for noodles sometime."
"Good."
