"Crack"
A crisp sound of breaking echoed intermittently, as the two Stone Statues cracked at an extrely slow pace.
Shadowy figures flickered beside the Stone Statues as Gongsun Yudie and Li Xiao arrived simultaneously. Soon after, Shi Fanzhen and Luo Cuiling, like facing formidable enemies, ca rushing over with Big Hamrs in hand.
Yet upon approaching, they found that the Stone Statues were cracking naturally, not due to human interference, causing everyone to frown.
"How could they crack for no reason?"
Shi Fanzhen lunged into the air, surveying the surroundings, wanting to see clearly if enemies were causing trouble. If that were the case, he would rcilessly smash their heads with his Big Hamr.
In his heart, Chen Nan was his most respected elder brother, and anyone daring to touch Chen Nan’s Stone Statue would be akin to declaring war on him.
However, after scanning the area, he found no enemies.
"Crack"
The sound of shattering only ca once after a long interval.
With each crisp sound, the cracks on the Stone Statue increased by just one or two inches.
For a Stone Statue that stood hundreds of feet tall, these tiny cracks seed insignificant, yet everyone understood the truth of water wearing through stone. As the saying goes, three feet of ice wasn’t ford overnight; if ti went on, no matter how slow the pace, the hundred-foot tall Stone Statue would eventually completely crack.
...
The Stone Statue continued cracking slowly, while in Ningjiang City, Chen Nan had already returned to the city with Ye Yiyi.
Riding a bicycle, Chen Nan glanced back at Ye Yiyi and said, "Yiyi, where do you live? Let take you ho first."
"I don’t want to go ho."
At the ntion of going ho, Ye Yiyi’s mood turned somber. "If you’re in a hurry, just go ahead. I don’t want to go ho."
"Don’t say such silly things. How could I leave you alone? But we’ve been out for so long, your parents must be worried about you," Chen Nan said seriously.
"I’ve hoped soone would worry about ."
Ye Yiyi shook her head with a helpless smile, "Unfortunately, in this world, aside from you, I fear no one else cares about my Life and Death."
"This..."
Chen Nan looked at her puzzled, unsure how to ask.
Ye Yiyi was silent for a mont before explaining, "My parents passed away early, and I was raised by my grandfather. But six months ago, my grandfather passed too. He stated clearly in his will that the company would be inherited by in the future. But since I’m still young, my uncle takes over for now, to return it when I graduate college. However, my uncle isn’t satisfied with this. He believes he’s the company’s rightful heir, and he’d rather I died out there and never returned, rather than worrying about my safety."
After listening, Chen Nan also frowned tightly, "How could there be such an uncle in this world?"
"It’s said that the royal family has no sentint; although we’re not a royal family, the vast family business is enough to make so lose their true nature." Ye Yiyi shook her head, sighing, "Actually, I don’t care about the wealth at all. Money can truly blind people and cloud their minds. The intrigue of the business world isn’t my forte; I just wish for a peaceful life doing what I love."
Unnoticed, the bicycle had stopped by the roadside.
Ye Yiyi got off and faced Chen Nan seriously, "I’m really fed up with my current life. Take with you. Let’s elope, shall we?"
