Chapter 2931: This Was a Brutally Pragmatic World

This was a brutally pragmatic world. If something went wrong with the Min family, Min Haochu would fall from heaven straight to hell.

At school, he was so popular, with girls flocking around him, yearning for his attention.

The reason they called him “Prince” was all because of his family background. Without that, he would be just an ordinary guy.

People’s attitudes toward him would change drastically.

Min Haochu wasn’t sure if anyone would help him. To be honest, even he wouldn’t waste time on something that had no value.

So whether anyone would help him was uncertain.

Regardless, he had to save the company and stop the stock price from falling.

After leaving the internet cafe, Ning Shu searched online for information about embroidery. There were indeed people specializing in it.

She decided to complete an embroidery piece first and show it to them.

As expected, it was always good to learn more skills.

Ning Shu bought a piece of silk, some threads–slightly better quality, colorfast ones–in a variety of colors.

She carried the materials back to the bridge, only to find several men in suits standing around the camper.

Ning Shu hurried over, and Min Haochu turned to face her. “We meet again.”

Ning Shu’s eyebrows twitched. How did Min Haochu find this place?

Despite the trouble at home, he still had time to bother with her, his “pet?”

“Surprised to see me?” Min Haochu asked with his usual confident look.

“What have you done to my brother?” Ning Shu asked, her voice trembling.

Seeing her cower like a mouse in front of a cat, Min Haochu’s expression relaxed a bit.

“I want you to do something. If you do it, I’ll let you and your brother go,” Min Haochu said arrogantly.

“Where’s my brother?” Ning Shu asked.

“Big Sis, I’m in the car, and there’s a lot of tasty food in here,” Yi Xiaodong said, sticking his head out of the car window, and holding a bag of snacks.

Ning Shu: …

He really was just a child. He had no memories of past punishments, no lessons were learned at all.

But seeing that Yi Xiaodong was safe, Ning Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

Min Haochu walked closer to Ning Shu and said, “Did you really think that moving would make you untraceable?”

Ning Shu knew she couldn’t escape, as long as these people refused to leave her alone.

If they didn’t plan to let her off, even if she ran to the ends of the earth, she wouldn’t be able to escape.

Staring at her shoes, Ning Shu asked softly, “What do you need me to do?”

“It’s of course something good. If you succeed, you’ll have a lot of money, enough for you and your brother to live in comfort for the rest of your lives,” Min Haochu said.

Ning Shu lifted her head in surprise but maintained her timid, submissive demeanor.

“What exactly is it?” Ning Shu asked cautiously.

“At a press conference, you’ll say that you were the one who spread the rumors online,” Min Haochu explained.

Ning Shu looked even more confused. “What rumors?”

Min Haochu wasn’t surprised by her reaction. With no phone or internet, how could she know?

He took out his phone and handed it to Ning Shu. “Take a look.”

Ning Shu waved her hand. “I don’t know how to use it.”

Min Haochu grew impatient, irritated at having to explain things to someone who picked up trash for a living.

But he reminded himself that his family needed someone like her to take the fall.
