Chapter 238: Chapter 238 Meeting Mi Yi Alone
Yuan Xi listened to Gu Hanchen and asked, “What are you doing in A City?”
Yuan Xi certainly didn’t think Gu Hanchen would come to A City just because he was worried about her.
Gu Hanchen said, “Mi Yi asked to meet me, insisting that I had to see her. It was all very secretive, and she said she would contact me again after I got to A City. I’m so paranoid right now that I don’t even dare to stop at the rest area to use the restroom, and I’ll be in A City in just half an hour.”
Yuan Xi frowned deeply when she received a message from a stranger.
The picture sent was from atop a tall building, “Only you and Gu Hanchen are allowed to come.”
Yuan Xi quickly understood that the person who had sent the message was probably Mi Yi.
Yuan Xi said to Liang Suisui, “I’m going to meet Mi Yi. You wait at the hospital for Huo Shiyuan to come.”
Liang Suisui said, “Yuan Xi, have you lost your mind? Are you stupid? To meet with Mi Yi alone at a time like this? Aren’t you afraid that Mi Yi might team up with Bo Chi to harm you?”
Yuan Xi replied, “Mi Yi asked me to go with Gu Hanchen, so I think there’s a high chance she won’t harm us. Besides, if she really wanted to work with Bo Chi to target me, Bo Chi wouldn’t need to go to the trouble of knocking you out. Moreover, Bo Chi has already been arrested.”
Liang Suisui said, “I’m going with you.”
Yuan Xi nodded at Liang Suisui. After calling Gu Hanchen, she left the hospital and took a taxi to the location sent by Mi Yi.
Yuan Xi soon received another photo, this time of the seaside in A City.
A City is a coastal city, but because of the special terrain, the beaches here are almost all mudflats with no sandy beaches.
Even the sea is often murky with yellow silt, making the beach an unpopular spot except for some who bring their children to catch small crabs.
Yuan Xi met up with Gu Hanchen at the agreed location and got into his car.
Liang Suisui looked at Gu Hanchen’s car, an electric car worth around two to three hundred thousand, and chuckled, “Has Mi Chen Game gone bankrupt? Why is Mr. Gu driving such a cheap car? And you managed to drive all the way from Jiang City in an electric car without running out of battery?”
Gu Hanchen said, “Don’t jinx Mi Chen. This car has a battery life of over seven hundred kilometers. It’s only about two hundred kilometers from Jiang City here. As long as it’s not falsely advertised, I won’t even need to charge it on my way back.”
Yuan Xi laughed softly, “You should still recharge it when you go back; stopping on the highway is too dangerous.”
Gu Hanchen drove Yuan Xi to Sea View Park, the location from Mi Yi’s photo.
Yuan Xi glanced over and quickly recognized Mi Yi by her figure, a woman in a white dress with long hair standing by a red and white lighthouse on the edge of the mudflats.
Gu Hanchen approached Mi Yi and said, “What do you need from us? Why bring me to this godforsaken mudflat?”
Mi Yi looked at Gu Hanchen and at Yuan Xi, then at Liang Suisui behind them, and said, “Didn’t I say only the two of you should come?”
Liang Suisui shrugged, “Just pretend I’m a passerby then.”
Yuan Xi looked at Liang Suisui, “Suisui, go back down first.”
Liang Suisui shrugged, “I’ll wait for you down below.”
Yuan Xi turned to Mi Yi, “Sister Mi Yi…”
Mi Yi snapped, “Stop with the hypocrisy, stop calling me ‘sister’. I know you hate me to death, Yuan Xi, you’re really too fake. How much longer are you going to pretend? You must be feeling pretty good about yourself right now, right?
I was incredibly foolish, thinking Bo Chi and I were friends when he was using me to launder money. Now I’ve been framed by Bo Chi to take the blame for all the money laundering, and you must feel rather smug, right? Look, how stupid Mi Yi is!”
Yuan Xi said, “Whether you believe it or not, I have never hated you. In fact, I hope more than anyone that you and Gu Hanchen can be well.
If something happens to either you or Gu Hanchen, the first to be damaged would be Mi Chen Game. Even though you’ve left Mi Chen, you will always be the founder of Mi Chen. If you are accused of money laundering, Mi Chen will definitely be implicated.”
Mi Yi looked at the sea in front of her and said, “I grew up in a ten square meter room since I was a child. You wouldn’t understand that just 500 meters from my house was the world’s most flourishing financial center, the most dazzling and golden place, and it was not until I was in the eighth grade that I had a small attic of my own. It was inconvenient to go to the public restroom in winter, and I even had to empty the spittoon, so I was determined since childhood that I would study hard and be successful.
Perhaps it was my obsession that led to my failure in the college entrance exam, and I could only go to Jiang University.”

Gu Hanchen said, “Do you have to show off like this? Jiang University is considered failing the college entrance exam?”
Yuan Xi glanced at Gu Hanchen, “You better say less!”
Mi Yi said, “During my senior year, I got accepted into an Ivy League graduate program, yet my parents weren’t willing to sell the house to fund my studies abroad. I never expected the success of Mi Chen Game, but I succeeded…
Just when I thought I had succeeded and could join the dazzling, golden crowd I had watched growing up… I began to feel that sentiment was more important than a life of opulence. I finally had money, but I started to hate the rich even more.
Later, when Mi Chen faced a crisis and capital got involved, I didn’t want external investors in Mi Chen. I didn’t want Mi Chen Game to drift along with the current like other games, just to make money… I don’t think my departure was wrong…
But after I left, Mi Chen became even more successful, and I really didn’t expect the market value after Mi Chen’s IPO to be so high…”
With a hostile gaze at Gu Hanchen and Yuan Xi in front of her, Mi Yi said, “The IPO of Mi Chen pronounced yet another failure of mine. Seeing Fu Yixian wake up and still choose Ren Tian, I couldn’t accept losing to Ren Tian… It made me feel utterly defeated!”
“So, when Bo Chi told me that my game Destroying Stars could bring in far more revenue than Mi Chen, and I knew full well that the money was dirty, I still agreed to help. I admit I was hoping for a fluke, but now saying all this is useless. My life is an utter failure, and the loyalty and efforts that I thought were so important from childhood are all one big joke!”
Yuan Xi said, “Mi Yi, you have never been a failure. How many people dream of going to Jiang University and can’t make it? No matter who owns Mi Chen now, you will always be its founder. You still have 6.8 billion in cash at under the age of thirty. How can you possibly be a loser?”
Mi Yi looked at Yuan Xi and said, “I lost to you! Even if you relied on men, I still lost to you! And you helped Ren Tian marry Fu Yixian!”
Yuan Xi said, “I wasn’t involved in Ren Tian and Fu Yixian’s marriage at all. Sister Mi Yi, as you said, I relied on a man, and you relied on yourself. Why do you still think you lost to me? You’ve always been the winner in your own life.”
Mi Yi said, “But now I’ve lost… I know the price of money laundering. The amount I was involved with is too large…”
Mi Yi turned to Gu Hanchen and Yuan Xi, “Mi Chen is the only highlight of my life. Please treat Mi Chen well, and those programmers who followed me in deleting databases and fleeing were lured by great temptations I offered. I’m sorry to them. Withdraw the lawsuits against them, please. All the consequences should be borne by me alone…”
After saying this, Mi Yi flipped over the railing…
The lighthouse they were at was about twenty meters high… Below was a hard concrete terrace… Falling down was no different from jumping off a building.
The moment Mi Yi flipped over the railing, Gu Hanchen grabbed Mi Yi’s wrist and held onto her arm tightly and said, “Have you gone mad?”
Yuan Xi also hurried forward to grab Mi Yi’s arm and said to her, “Sister Mi Yi, you still have a long life ahead of you. Many entrepreneurs find success in their fifties or sixties. Even if you are sentenced to life imprisonment for money laundering… Our lawyers will help you get a reduced sentence, striving to get it down to about ten years. When you come out, you’ll be forty, and you still have at least forty years of life ahead of you. Why give up now?”
Yuan Xi added, “Sister Mi Yi, you have to pay a price for the wrongs you’ve done, but it shouldn’t be with your life. Bo Chi’s money has been the ruin of countless families. Just now you saw Liang Suisui. Her father recently passed away after being conned out of the fortune he built over thirty years at Bo Chi’s casino… The price you have to pay for laundering money definitely has consequences, but death is not the price you should pay.”
With all his might, Gu Hanchen pulled Mi Yi back up and said, “You really are something, although I often say I wish you were dead, we do have a child, how could you just go and die?”
Mi Yi frowned and said, “A child?”
“Little Mi Chen!” Gu Hanchen said, “I’ve always regarded you as one of the mothers of Little Mi Chen. I hate you because you attacked Mi Chen after you left. It’s okay to hate me or Yuan Xi, you can come at us, but why go after Mi Chen? You will always be the mother of Mi Chen.”
Yuan Xi also said to Mi Yi, “Sister Mi Yi, please don’t do anything foolish again. If you die now, no one will accuse Bo Chi, which will only allow him to escape legal punishment and do as he pleases.”
Mi Yi turned to Yuan Xi and said, “Bo Chi loves you, he’s so obsessed with you that he doesn’t care that you’re already married… Shouldn’t you be proud that Bo Chi likes you? Enjoying the love of two young and handsome men with assets worth hundreds of billions?”
Yuan Xi said, “Bo Chi’s love only disgusts me. I really don’t hate you, but I detest Bo Chi, who is drenched in blood. Ever since I was young, I’ve heard people in the village gossiping about someone going to Southeast Asia to gamble and losing millions, which for me at that time was an astronomical figure, and there were so many cases of families being ruined because of gambling.
How could I possibly enjoy Bo Chi’s love for me? Every additional glance he takes at me gives me nightmares.”
“Sister Mi Yi, come back with me and we’ll accuse Bo Chi. Trust me one last time, and I will do everything in my power to find you the best attorney.”
