Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

Chapter 276 High-Ranking Business Tycoon (Gong) VS Beautiful, Clueless, and Clear-Headed (Shou) [52]

The unexpected popularity of "The Broken Jade Mountain" was like a bomb dropped into the entertainment industry.

Jiang Xiyu's popularity remains high, and his exceptionally outstanding period drama appearance has led to a continuous increase in fans during the show's airing, even boosting his status. As a result, Jiang Xiyu's schedule is almost completely packed, leaving him with no free time.

Jiang Xiyu was required to attend all offline events because he was the lead actor.

During the offline event, Haishi was packed with people. Almost anyone could see the large screen displaying "Green Hills Shattered" just by looking up. It was truly a spectacle that attracted the attention of the entire nation.

Shen Xiushu looked down from his office and smiled mockingly at the people on the big screen.

Behind him, various sheets of paper were scattered on the office floor, detailing Jiang Xiyu's whereabouts over the past year, including who he had contacted during that time—all of which were now crystal clear.

This time, the people Shen Xiushu sent easily found out.

Compared to the last survey, this survey is incredibly detailed.

Shen Xiushu had already noticed the fragrance on Shen Jingtan's body and the things that couldn't be found out, but he softened when he saw Jiang Xiyu crying that time.

Therefore, after softening his heart, when Shen Xiushu saw those records and videos, he experienced the taste of betrayal for the first time.

Shen Xiushu had been a prodigy since childhood. Before taking Jiang Xiyu as his mistress, he had always been well-behaved and had never done anything out of line. He never expected that this one and only time would be such a humiliation to his pride.

He indulged Jiang Xiyu so much, but he never expected that the other party had already set his sights on his uncle.

That day downstairs at the apartment building, she cried in front of him. Perhaps it was just because he was afraid that his lies would be exposed. Saying that he missed him and treated his uncle as himself was all a lie to cover up the fact that he had been in contact with his uncle.

Why try to cover it up?

Shen Xiushu couldn't even think about it much.

He didn't know how many times Jiang Xiyu and his uncle had met in private. One or two times might be due to face blindness, but what about later? From the moment he started lying to him, it proved that something had happened between him and Shen Jingtan.

If there's nothing to it, why would he lie?

Anger and pain mingled in Shen Xiushu's heart, making it feel like his heart was being suffocated and he could hardly breathe.

He gazed at the large screen outside the floor-to-ceiling window. The young man's handsome face was almost ubiquitous in this bustling city. He was like a star held in the hands of a mirage, streaking across the night sky overnight. The lights of thousands of homes seemed to pale in comparison to his dazzling brilliance.

Shen Xiushu looked at the handsome young man in a bespoke suit with long, beautiful hair, his eyes cold to the point of being almost heartless.

Jiang Xiyu appeared obedient in front of me, but I never expected that she harbored such ambitions behind the scenes.

He had no idea what kind of person Shen Jingtan was.

Shen Xiushu looked at the large screen and chuckled coldly.

He wasn't sure if he was laughing at Jiang Xiyu, or at himself for falling for such a low-level lie. Since Jiang Xiyu didn't want the chance to confess, he figured he had the ability to pluck the star from the sky.

Falling into the abyss is not a pleasant experience, and Jiang Xiyu may not be able to bear it.

But what could he do? He couldn't calm down this time.

How dare someone who is just a plaything treat him like this?

Shen Xiushu's hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists.

……

Friday night.

When Jiang Xiyu finished the event and was about to take a car back to his apartment, he was surprised to find Shen Xiushu in the car the moment the door opened.

Shen Xiushu looked at him and said two words without any emotion: "Come up."

Jiang Xiyu keenly sensed something was off in his voice, as if he had anticipated something. Jiang Xiyu forced herself to remain calm and got into the car.

Jiang Yun was left behind.

She stood there, recalling the expression on Shen Xiushu's face just now, and felt a chill run down her spine for no reason.

The car drove on, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive.

It wasn't until Shen Xiushu threw a stack of investigation materials at Jiang Xiyu that Jiang Xiyu looked down and her face turned pale instantly.

Shen Xiushu restrained himself and said coldly, "Explain."

“Ashu…”

"Aren't you going to tell the truth?" Shen Xiushu's words seemed to be squeezed out from his throat.

Jiang Xiyu's pale face betrayed his panic. He hurriedly explained, "Ashu, it's not what you think. Mr. Shen and I really have nothing going on. Please believe me."

This is another instance of showing weakness.

A pain seemed to spread through Shen Xiushu's heart. This time, he could no longer ignore that feeling. He stared intently at Jiang Xiyu, as if he had completely lost his patience. The veins on his forehead throbbed, but his tone was frighteningly calm: "This is your last chance, if you don't want to lose everything."

Jiang Xiyu could not possibly admit it.

But when the evidence came out, he had no choice but to confess. However, he did not lie. Every time he met Shen Jingtan, except for that time in the car, he told the truth.

Shen Xiushu listened without any reaction. He stared into Jiang Xiyu's eyes as if trying to see through him, his gaze chilling to the bone.

Jiang Xiyu's show of weakness and tears were of no use at this moment. Even if he said that he had no feelings for Shen Jingtan, Shen Xiushu would not believe him.

As possessiveness and jealousy surged within him, Shen Xiushu's calm facade completely masked his irrational rage. He suddenly leaned forward, pinning Jiang Xiyu to the seat and gripping his chin tightly with his hand.

Just as he was about to kiss her, Jiang Xiyu turned her head away.

Thus, the suppressed emotions in Shen Xiushu's heart finally turned into a raging fury after Jiang Xiyu's evasion.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang Xiyu by the throat, forcing him with tremendous force, "What are you!"

Jiang Xiyu's face turned red from suffocation. He felt as if the artery under his neck was about to burst. He subconsciously reached out to resist, but because of the work he had been doing for days, he had no strength left, so Shen Xiushu was almost completely still.

Driven by the instinct to survive, Jiang Xiyu clenched his fists and slammed them into Shen Xiushu's face, kicking him with his legs. The rapid loss of oxygen caused Jiang Xiyu's vision to go black. He opened his lips and uttered something in a hoarse voice.

Shen Xiushu paused for a moment, and after hearing clearly, he suddenly let go of her hand.

Jiang Xiyu bent over and coughed violently, as if her heart was being torn apart and the world was turning dark.

The driver, who was driving, finally couldn't resist looking into the back seat through the rearview mirror after hearing the noise.

In that moment of distraction, he didn't notice the car rushing out from the intersection ahead. By the time he reacted and swerved the steering wheel, daylight had suddenly arrived, so bright it was almost blinding.
