Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

The young man who saved the young woman and posted the video was Liang Ye.

At this moment, he was in the company, happily scrolling through the news.

After he returned to the company, he realized that the video he posted was like a drop of water falling into the sea, barely making any ripple.

This left him feeling quite dejected, so he just focused on his work. Read latest chapters at empire

During a break, while drinking water, he checked the video again.

To his surprise, the video had gone viral, and even made it to the trending searches.

That made him happy.

Netizens even dug up the information of that middle-aged man -- he was a big shot from the airport police bureau.

Just when he thought that this big shot was done for, the news was quickly overshadowed by rumors of a young idol possibly having a girlfriend.

As someone responsible for operations and promotions at an internet company, he knew what was happening and couldn't help but sigh.

This big shot had strong connections, and there were people helping him clear his name.

What he didn't expect was that the situation would take another turn.

Top internet celebrity Lin Junyi actually weighed in on the matter, supported by countless other internet celebrities.

That completely blew up the entire internet.

He knew that now the situation couldn't possibly be covered up anymore.

Just as he was wondering whether the young woman would contact him, and whether the two of them might develop a further relationship, his phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed an unfamiliar phone number.

Liang Ye didn't overthink and answered the phone, "Hello."

A young man's voice came through, "Is this Liang Ye?"

Liang Ye asked, "Who is this?"

The young man replied, "My surname is Chen, you can call me Assistant Chen. If you agree to do one thing for me, I'll give you ten million. With ten million, you can buy a car and a house in Haicheng, or even settle down there, no need to squeeze in a rental anymore or, like other workers, be forced to leave Haicheng and go back to your hometown."

He was Tang Jinghuan's assistant, his task being to buy off Liang Ye and solve the problem through him.

He didn't plan on revealing his own identity, as long as the job was done.

"Ten million!"

Liang Ye's eyes widened, and his breathing became a bit hurried.

His job paid just over ten thousand a month.

After paying the rent and daily expenses, there was hardly anything left.

The thought of buying a house in Haicheng was something he dared not even imagine.

Let alone settling down in Haicheng.

His destiny was just like that of most workers in the city, to leave his youth behind and then move back to his small hometown.

If he had ten million, he really could buy a car and a house in Haicheng.

Even if money couldn't buy a hukou, he could accumulate points for residency.

With his educational background and possession of a car and a house in Haicheng, accumulating enough points to settle there wouldn't be difficult.

By then, he wouldn't have to leave like most workers, and he would become a Haicheng resident.

This was the dream of countless young people.

In the past, it was so out of reach.

Today, however, there was such an opportunity.

But he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.

The party offering him so much money must want him to do something far from simple.

Therefore, he asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Assistant Chen smiled and said, "You posted a video today of a middle-aged man pushing down a woman. Just release a statement claiming that the video you posted is fake, and rest assured, if you do this, we can guarantee no official will trouble you about it."

Liang Ye furrowed his brows.

For someone like him, ten million was indeed a huge temptation.

Just agree, and it could change your life.

As for saying the video was fake, at most he would feel a bit guilty.

He didn't immediately agree but turned to look at a colleague who was busy promoting something, "Old Guo, if you were given ten million to do something that goes against your conscience, would you do it?"

The colleague didn't even have to think before responding, "Of course, I'd do it. Anyone who doesn't is an idiot. How much is conscience worth?!"

Hearing this, Liang Ye could only offer a bitter smile.

Assistant Chen, on the other end of the phone, heard the exchange and just laughed.

Not many people would reject ten million.

Beside, it was just a small matter.

At that moment, Liang Ye's voice rang out, "Sorry, I refuse."

"What did you say?" The assistant was dumbfounded, almost doubting his own ears.

"I said I refuse. Don't you f*cking try to cover this up!" Liang Ye laughed, hung up the phone, set down his mobile phone, and looked at his colleague, "The guy who just called me, he said he would give me ten million just to declare that the video I posted today was fake. I refused, and suddenly, I feel so awful, like I've missed the chance to turn my life around!"

The colleague knew about the video he had posted and had even helped share it. Hearing Liang Ye's words, his eyes widened in shock, "Holy shit, someone actually came to you and was willing to give you ten million? It seems that the big shot from the airport police has a very strong backing. Don't feel bad, though.

We may need money, but we can't do things that go against our conscience, otherwise, we'll never sleep soundly!"

"You just said a conscience isn't worth much," Liang Ye said speechlessly.

"Who knew someone would actually offer you money," the colleague chuckled and wrapped his arm around Liang Ye's shoulder, "You're f*cking awesome, man. I am proud of you!"

...

Assistant Chen listened to the dial tone on the phone for a long while before coming back to his senses.

He just couldn't understand why Liang Ye would refuse.

That was ten million.

For someone like Liang Ye, it was something he could hardly dream of.

That ten million could have changed his life.

And what he was asked to do wasn't even serious, like murder or arson, just to release a statement claiming the video was fake. At most, he would be criticized by netizens for having a laugh at their expense.

To turn down such a great deal!

It was simply incomprehensible!

In the end, Assistant Chen could only say, "What an idiot, passing up the chance to make money. He deserves to slog his life away as a wage slave!"

Unable to resolve the issue at its root, he had to think of other methods.

He went to report the situation to Tang Jinghuan.

Tang Jinghuan frowned and said, "He can't be bought? Is that guy an idiot?"

Assistant Chen could only offer a wry smile, "Such people are doomed to live at the bottom of society. If he doesn't want to, there's nothing I can do."

Tang Jinghuan asked, "Is there any other way?"

Assistant Chen replied, "We can only use our official connections and protect Gao Yuanzhong once more."

After thinking for a moment, Tang Jinghuan nodded, "It seems we have no other choice."

Assistant Chen added, "Xu Yang handled this well. He probably wanted to use this incident to take Gao Yuanzhong down. It indirectly hurts us. If we can't even save Gao Yuanzhong, this round of confrontation would be a loss for us. It would impact us, and even those who work for us might wonder if we could protect them should they ever run into trouble."

"Indeed," Tang Jinghuan nodded seriously, "I'll make a call right away. We must save Gao Yuanzhong!"
