In the second playthrough, Chen Yunwan used this method to make Lu Xuan leave with nothing.
Now, Ling Yi is essentially giving him a taste of his own medicine.
"President Lu, according to Chen Yun Feng's confession, he tampered with this batch of raw materials. Once this batch of medicine is shipped out, it will inevitably lead to extremely serious consequences."
" Chen Yun Feng alone couldn't have done this. There must be others within the group helping him, right?" Ling Yi asked.
"Yes, Mr. Lu, this was an oversight on my part. I'm sorry."
"What are you apologizing for? Lu Xuan is the one who should apologize!" Ling Yi shook his head.
"By the way, how is Chen Yun Feng?"
"Temporarily detained in the laboratory."
"Then there's no need to come out. The lab is just short of test subjects."
"Understood!" Zeng Ling said, and was about to walk out, but Ling Yi stopped her.
"You must be tired after a long night. There's a rest area in the back; go get some sleep first, and we can talk about the rest after you've rested."
"No, I have many things to take care of, I..."
"There's no end to how much work can be done!" Ling Yi shook his head and pushed Zeng Ling into the lounge.
Compared to Chen Yunwan, Zeng Ling's character is quite outstanding.
Two and a half years ago, Zeng Ling suffered a severe shock due to a food allergy while eating at a restaurant. Lu Xuan happened to be there and saved Zeng Ling.
After learning that Zeng Ling had just graduated and was looking for a job, Lu Xuan made her his assistant.
At that time, Lu Xuan's career was just starting out, and he had no experience in running a company.
Aside from traditional Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques, he knows nothing else.
It was Zeng Ling who helped him establish his company and recruit subordinates. She was also the one who helped Lu Xuan with market planning, prospect analysis, and operational planning.
It can be said that Zeng Ling deserves at least 60% of the credit for the Lu Clan Group's growth to its current state.
Zeng Ling had already secretly fallen in love with Lu Xuan after he rescued her.
Unfortunately, Lu Xuan only had eyes for Chen Yunwan.
It's truly a case of losing a treasure and picking up trash.
Later in the second playthrough, Zeng Ling tried her best to save Lu Xuan, but unfortunately, Chen Yunwan was the Protagonist, and Zeng Ling ultimately died at Chen Yunwan's hands.
Lu Xuan was a great victim, but to be honest, this great victim didn't die unjustly. Lu Xuan didn't deserve so much from such a good girl like Zeng Ling.
After closing the door to the lounge, Ling Yi opened the system interface.
Next to the list of worlds, the World Consciousness has opened a backdoor, adding a "[Click to Enter/Leave]" button.
The progress bar has reached 60%, it seems the Plot Rules will soon collapse.
The question is whether or not a second playthrough will be available.
Whether it's true or not, you'll find out by asking.
" World Consciousness, come out and have a chat."
As soon as Ling Yi finished speaking, an old man with Wind Dao appeared before him.
The ability to directly Transformation into human form indicates that the world's level of World Consciousness is not low.
At least in the worlds Ling Yi had previously transmigrated to, World Consciousness could not directly take human form.
To communicate with Ling Yi, one must either use a physical medium or simply be in the form of a Light Ball.
At best, it can only Transformation into two large eyeballs.
But only this one can transform into human form.
" Liufu greets the Big Shot!" The moment the old man spoke, the atmosphere changed completely.
His ethereal, Wind Dao appearance didn't quite match his tone of voice.
"I'm no Big Shot, I'm just a Plot Ravagers, a passerby."
"That's the most powerful Plot Ravagers Liufu has ever seen."
Ling Yi asked curiously, "Your name is Liufu?"
"Yes, this world has experienced six invasion events. Luck, each time it successfully Summon other Plot Ravagers."
"This is my good fortune, so I named myself Liufu (meaning 'Six Blessings')."
"Ahem, nice name. So, after this world ends, you won't change your name to Seven Blessings, will you?"
Liufu nodded. "Of course!"
"I wonder what brings you here, Big Shot?"
"You should know I have a system, right?" Ling Yi asked.
"Yes, all Plot Ravagers have systems, but each person's system is different."
"Do you know about the 999 time-travel settings of the Plot Ravagers?"
Liufu stroked his beard and smiled slightly, saying, " Big Shot, your system is unique."
"You are the only one!"
Speak like a human being!
"Not all systems are legitimate. Most Plot Ravagers are merely pawns or laborers of the system."
"Other Plot Ravagers will never have the chance to escape the system; only you, Big Shot, have the opportunity to break free from illusion and return to reality!"
Ling Yi frowned. "Are you saying that everything I'm experiencing now is fake?"
Whether it's true or false depends on what you, the Big Shot, think!
"Am I the Protagonist of a novel? The kind that's quick transmigration?"
That's one way to understand it.
"If I complete 999 worlds, will I be able to return to the real world?"
"That's beyond my comprehension. Once Big Shot 've accomplished it, you'll naturally find out!"
Asking is pointless, and speaking is pointless.
"One last question: what impact will it have on the real world if I break the Plot Rules of the invasion plot?"
"I suspect the original text will disappear," the old man said after a moment's hesitation, offering a guess.
Will it disappear? That would be a good thing.
It would be best if these morally questionable online articles disappeared.
Although the old man said it was just a guess, Ling Yi felt it was probably pretty close to the truth.
After all, they possess World Consciousness and understand World Rule, so it's normal for them to be able to deduce certain things.
This gave Ling Yi some motivation.
"If Chen Yunwan dies prematurely, will the storyline still unfold in the second playthrough?" Ling Yi asked again.
This is actually the main problem with Ling Yi Summon the World Consciousness.
Everything else was just incidental.
" The Plot Rules have been broken, so the second playthrough will not occur."
"That's good!" Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction.
Just then, Ling Yi's phone rang; it was Chen Yunwan calling.
"You're busy, Big Shot. I'll take my leave now. If you need anything, just call upon me."
Liufu bowed to Ling Yi with extreme politeness and respect before disappearing from sight.
Ling Yi frowned. Why would this woman call him at this time?
" Lu Xuan, my brother is missing. His phone is off, and when I called his friends, they all said they didn't know anything. I'm worried something has happened to him. Can you help me look for him?"
"Okay!" Ling Yi said, and then hung up the phone.
Look, look for something!
From this moment forward, Chen Yun Feng will be a missing person and will not be able to leave the laboratory.
Not only Chen Yun Feng, but also that bunch of ingrates in the Chen Family, Ling Yi will not let them off the hook.
That evening, thanks to Zeng Ling's efforts, Chen Yunwan successfully became a trending topic.
Using this as an excuse, Ling Yi filed for divorce from Chen Yunwan.
Of course, the woman wouldn't agree, but with such a big fuss, she had no choice but to agree. Ling Yi directly mobilized the company's legal team to take full charge of the divorce.
The divorce proceedings are likely to drag on for quite some time.
Ling Yi wasn't in a hurry, since Chen Yunwan wouldn't live for more than a month anyway.
Next came dealing with the Chen Family.
The Chen Family was just a small family; compared to the Lu Clan Group today, they were on a completely different level.
After Lu Xuan issued the blacklist, all of the Chen Family's businesses in Dafeng City suffered a fatal blow in the shortest possible time.
It won't last long; it will collapse soon.
A week later, Chen Yunwan's presbyopia flared up.
At this time, the Chen Family was in a state of chaos and had no time to spare for her, and Chen Yunwan had lost all contact with Ling Yi.
Chen Yunwan endured the strain at home for two days, but her aging body couldn't take it anymore.
The only option was to call emergency services, and I was taken to the hospital.
Standing by the hospital bed, Ling Yi and Zeng Ling looked at Chen Yunwan, who now looked like an old woman, without feeling any sympathy.
Ling Yi is not Lu Xuan; he only feels disgust towards this kind of female lead with warped values.
At this point, the progress bar had reached 99%. Once Chen Yunwan died, the Plot Rules of this world would completely collapse.
" Lu Xuan, save me!" Chen Yunwan pleaded hoarsely when she saw Ling Yi.
" Chen Yunwan, you're actually just one step away from a complete cure for your aging disorder," Ling Yi said slowly.
"But you really disappointed Lu Xuan. It's because of Lu Xuan that you survived, and it's because of Lu Xuan that you haven't been affected by the aging syndrome."
"But what did you do? I've never seen such an idiotic woman."
"I... I was wrong, please help me!"
"Save you? Why should I save you? Because you Taunt Lu Xuan every day, because you're Lu Xuan's wife but won't even let him touch you?"
"Or is it that you, Chen Yunwan, made it to the trending topics because of those dozen Little White you're keeping?"
"Or perhaps, it's because you and the Chen Family plotted to seize control of the Lu Clan Group?"
"I was wrong, Lu Xuan, I really know I was wrong. I will be a good wife to you from now on and I will listen to you. Please, save me, I'm in so much pain!"
It's late, so enjoy these last moments!
" Lu Xuan, you, you bastard!"
Ling Yi shook his head, turned around and left with Zeng Ling, but just then, the system notification sounded.
[Ding, the Plot Rules have collapsed, ten-minute countdown begins...]
[Ding! Gained??? Regret Points, Regret Points +1 million!]
Ling Yi turned and glanced at Chen Yunwan on the hospital bed.
They found the other person was lifeless, their eyes wide open, looking as if they had died with their eyes open in disbelief.
He just died like that? But that's not surprising.
Chen Yunwan's organs were aging rapidly. Now, under the stress and emotional agitation, her heart couldn't handle it and she collapsed.
Ling Yi looked up and called out, " Liufu, erase all memories of Lu Xuan from Zeng Ling's memory. Also, take extra care of Zeng Ling."
"Understood!" Liufu's voice rang out from mid-air.
Ling Yi glanced at Zeng Ling and murmured, " Zeng Ling, don't blame me. I'm doing this for your own good. Lu Xuan isn't worth it."
"If you're not Lu Xuan, then who are you?"
"My name is Ling Yi, Ling as in 'reaching the Ling Jue,' and Yi as in 'strange.'"
After Ling Yi finished speaking, his figure disappeared.
