Chapter 4, Scum Liu Yunsheng
TW: suicide mention
<hr>
News of Su Mo’s suicide was concealed by Su Yiyang, most likely regarded as family ugliness that could not be publicized. Additionally, this kind of thing was kind of sensitive for Su Yiyang’s identity as an actor. Apart from the fact that a few people close to him knew the truth, outsiders only thought that Su Mo lost his footing and fell into the sea, asking for medical leave from school for that same reason.
Su Bai baited Chun Yan to answer questions about the whole incident of Su Mo’s suicide attempt. Chun Yan was angry and helpless and sad. She rambled a lot, but fortunately, Su Bai’s mind was clear. Chun Yan said a pile of illogical sentences, “Teacher Su, don’t hurt yourself like that anymore”, “Teacher Su, you should just give up!”, “There are so many good men in the world. Liu Yunsheng is scum, he is not worthy of you Mr. Su,” etc. Yet Su Bai was able to figure out a few things from what she had said.
Sumo committed suicide for love. The person was a man, named Liu Yunsheng.
With a cup of hot tea in hand, Su Bai was a 32-year-old physically but psychologically he was still the forty-one-year-old Master. His habits as a master/lord could not be changed in a moment.
“Chun Yan, you can rest assured that your teacher has died once, and I have seen everything clearly and will not do anything more to hurt myself for that Liu Yunsheng.”
After a pause, Su Bai gently blew the tea leaves floating on the tea in the bleached porcelain cup, lowered his head, drank a mouthful and asked casually, “Chun Yan, what do you think of Liu Yunsheng?”
Su Bai knew in his heart that Su Mo really committed suicide for that man by jumping into the sea and that he will no longer come back again. Although Su Mo was not a very likable man, he had never done anything harmful to anyone or anything. Master Su was also not a white-eyed wolf who ate even human bones. Liu Yunsheng had caused Su Mo to lose his life, so Su Bai planned to help take revenge for Su Mo along the way. Consider it repayment for this fatty body of his.
Chun Yan’s is too young to have experienced anything deceitful. Her character is straightforward and plain. Su Bai knows that she is deliberately inquiring about Liu Yunsheng. She thinks that Su Bai is still thinking about Liu Yunsheng in his heart. Her eyebrows wrinkled. Once the box has been opened, countless big and small pearls fall out onto the porcelain plate.
By the time Chun Yan finished talking about Liu Yunsheng’s entire life, Su Bai had finished a whole pot of Pu’er tea.
Liu Yunsheng is a student of B University, and B University is the also school where Su Mo teaches. Su Bai originally thought that Liu Yunsheng would be about 30 years old, the same as Su Mo. How was he to know that Liu Yunsheng was still a student, not only a student of B University but also a student of Su Mo’s University? It was a love affair between teacher and student, a forgotten year.
Su Bai laughed bitterly. This Su Mo was also a poor fool. A young student with a solid family and good looks will fall in love with a teacher? If Su Mo still had the face of a Jade Tree ten years ago, perhaps Su Bai would have believed it. But now Su Mo was an average, middle-aged fat man with an unpleasant cowardly personality. Liu Yunsheng would like this kind of Su Mo if his head was smashed.
As Su Bai thought, Su Mo foolishly thought that Liu Yunsheng really liked himself, but fortunately was not too foolish. He felt that his fatness did not match Liu Yunsheng, and so had the initiative to lose weight. However, Liu Yunsheng also had a sweet mouth. He said he liked Su Mo’s fat and lovely appearance almost every day. He not only stopped Su Mo from losing weight but also strongly encouraged Su Mo to eat and drink more. It was obvious he was playing with Sumo. How could Su Mo stand Liu Yunsheng’s “gentleness”? He thought Liu Yunsheng really loved him and stopped caring about his appearance. So a year later, Su Mo became what he was now.
Liu Yunsheng had enough fun, and so he and Su Yiyang got together. He also publicly accuse Su Mo of attempting seduce students in school. Yesterday, he was still a tender lover. Today, he became a devil. Su Mo could not bear the fact that his lover betrayed him and the school rumors. Because he did not consider well, Teacher Su Mo committed suicide by jumping into the sea
“That Liu Yunsheng is so disgusting that he bullies people with lesser money than his family. Teacher Su, you mustn’t think Chun Yan is a narrow-minded person, but I really don’t like Su Yiyang. Although he’s your brother, he’s gotten with outsiders to bully you. Teacher Su, you mustn’t be cheated by Su Yiyang any more.” Speaking about the sad things of the past, Chun Yan could not help but shed tears.
Although she has just entered university, she has heard from a lot of people in the school. She was angry and helpless. Those students do not believe that Liu Yunsheng, regarded as the school prince, would like a fat teacher. They are convinced by the hurtful rumors, and their words have been very ugly. The position of students and teachers will inevitably make some students biased against the school teachers. Most people who have not interacted with Su Mo believed the rumor, and regard Su Mo as a disgusting homosexual. They call Su Mo “Professor” on the surface and behind his back, he is labeled a “beast”.
Especially for some foolish and blind decadent women, who often shout and worship the ambiguity of a pair of handsome men, cannot stand it when they meet Su Mo. They seem to feel nauseous and uncomfortable when they meet Su Mo. Vicious words like “fat pigs want to climb the black of a horse prince” never stop coming out. It can only be blamed that Su Mo was too fat, and not a beautiful man in the eyes of many.
…
…
Chun Yan had classes in the afternoon and helped Su Bai cook food and chat for a while before leaving. Although there was a dormitory in the school, Chun Yan was afraid that something would happen to Su Bai again. Considering that Su Bai was just discharged from the hospital, she said that she would come back every day to look after Su Bai. Su Bai also did not refuse. He still had a lot of things he wanted to lure out of Chun Yan’s mouth.
At least from the day he woke up, Chun Yan was the only person he could trust.
After Chun Yan left, Su Bai slipped into the study room in the villa. He locked the door of the study back for precautions. Pressing the power switch of the laptop, Su Bai browsed the books in the study while the computer was still powering on. Most of them were boring books, and some celebrity biographies, nothing too special.
After the computer was turned on, Su Bai read all the contents within the hard disk once. The contents were as boring as the books on the shelves. There were no games, no explicit videos, only some courseware and research reports needed in class.
Pictures? There must be some…
Su Ye exerted the skills of computer agents, and his ten fat fingers were flying fast on the keyboard. Soon all kinds of emails, chat records and photos of Su Mo before his death were excavated by him. Su Bai patiently read one email after another until it was more than five o’clock in the afternoon when he digested all the information. Chun Yan would be back at around six o’clock.
When the Shift + Del key was pressed at the same time, all the information related to Su Mo disappeared in an instant, and Su Mo as a person disappeared from this world altogether.
Su Bai lay on a soft leather chair with his eyes closed. He pinched his sore eyebrows with his forefinger and thumb. As he quickly reviewed the letters, chat notes and photos he had just browsed, Su Bai sorted out the friends Su Mo knew and his usual hobbies.
Su Mo was like a glass of boiled water, some dull cowardice, cowardly kindness.
When necessary, Su Bai always thought that he should play a proper role in front of some people, but this should not last too long.
“Liu Yunsheng…” The right index finger habitually knocked on the table while in thought. Unfortunately, although his left hand maintained the same posture of holding up a cigarette pipe from the palm, it remained empty.
Su Bai couldn’t help but smile when he found himself doing actions he was used to doing at certain moments, habits that were ingrained into the depths of his soul. His eyes gradually fell on his empty left hand. His eyes were dark and hard within the cover of warmth. He was never a person who could lead a truly peaceful lifestyle. Little foxes such as Su Yiyang or Liu Yunsheng were not enough for Su Bai to use all his energy to deal with, they were just a burden. However, the sudden emptiness of life after rebirth is also not too bad.
Su Yiyang’s celebrity status as an actor and Liu Yunsheng’s status as the only son of a financial champion can be utilized with caution and in due course.
As for now, apart from the top priority of losing weight, Sue’s attention has fallen onto the name of a certain entertainment company in a certain entertainment newspaper.
“Hurricane Entertainment?” Su Bai muttered to himself, got up from his leather chair and paced slowly to the big window of the study. He pulled the warm yellow vertical curtains. The warm sunshine from the evening sun suddenly poured down through the glass. Particles resembling broken gold fell on Su Bai’s hair and shoulders one by one. All around him, there was a warm glow.
Su Bai remembers that after the incident with Chen Yuan more than half a year ago, Chen Yuan gave him some information about dominating the Chinese economic market. He glanced at it casually at the time. Amongst many of the plans, he remembered that one of them was through a backdoor. Now the film industry in mainland China was booming, Chen Yuan saw an opportunity. He intended to borrow the shell of an existing entertainment company, rename it and bring it back onto the market. Capital injection, renaming and re-listing.
First, it is a directional point for investments. Second, it is a good channel for money laundering. Third, some celebrities also have good public relations in the business side.
If he remembered correctly, the entertainment company name was Hurricane Entertainment. Coincidentally, it was Su Yiyang’s brokerage company as well. Unfortunately, Su Bai did not ask Chen Yuan much about these things. He also did not know who cooperated with Chen Yuan. But whoever did must have a pivotal position in Asia.
When it comes to Chen Yuan, Su Bai’s feelings are very complex. He has love, hate, disgust and appreciation. There are too many. He betrayed him and robbed him of his subordinates. Su Bai should be willing to kill Chen Yuan immediately, yet he always had some reluctance. Just like three years ago, when he gradually realized that Chen Yuan’s fanaticism for him had gone too far, when Chen Yuan killed Lin Fan for the first time without his orders. Although Master Su was angry, in the end, he could not cut away Chen Yuan, the man who was like his left and right arm.
Su Bai loved talent more than his own relatives by tens of millions, though he had no especially close relatives.
“After my death, Chen Yuan will ‘rot’ for at least one month. The reorganization of the backdoor-listed company will take three months at the earliest. Starting from now, I have three months at most.”
Within the three months, Su thought that he could also try to ‘eat away’ some shares of Hurricane Entertainment. Although he predicted that Chen Yuan and the others had already secretly eaten a lot of stocks, they could not have swallowed all of them.
Su Mo himself did not have much savings. Su Mo’s pocket money was donated by himself to help poor children go to school at given times. Su Bai himself did not intend to move this money, Su Mo’s savings he also did not intend to move either. Su Mo was not able to use these savings, so Su Bai wanted to wait for an opportunity to donate them, think of it as doing good on behalf of Su Mo.
Money swallowed by Hurricane Entertainment Stocks, for Master Su who once eaten black and white two ways, will always have a way to find even if he changed his identity. There is also the idiom “three caves of cunning rabbits”. What’s more, how can Su Bai, who was known as the “Jade-Faced Yama”, not leave other ways behind?
Ninety-nine accounts were distributed all over the world. When Chen Yuan usurped the position, he took away many people and armed forces that were buried by Master Su in various places. But from the very beginning, he had no intention of checking his master’s “private house money”, let alone move it. Although Su Bai, at 41 years old, died, the funds in the ninety-nine accounts were still in good condition. There was even no need for Su Bai to show up himself, he had the ways to withdraw the money.
“It’s not easy to recover from death and rebirth. First, cultivate for a year and a half, and then I will play with you wolf pups as soon as my strength is recovered.”
At the end of the sea is a sunset in a corner. Several seabirds fly silently across the sparkling sea. Two figures on the winding flat mountain road are far and near. The street lights on both sides of the mountain road are lit one after another. Chun Yan’s face is a brilliant smile, as she rides on her bicycle. A big bag is placed in the basket at the front of the bike. Some green vegetables are placed in the basket, all of which were of Su Bai’s request to buy.
There is also a young man riding a bicycle beside Chun Yan, who is too far away to see clearly, but Su Bai’s point of view of his figure, he should be a good-looking young man. The young man is riding a bicycle with two long legs while chatting with Chun Yan.
Su Bai was silent for a moment. He turned away from the study window and opened the door downstairs. He took the initiative to walk to the villa door entrance and waited for Chun Yan and the young people to come.
As she approached, Su Bai’s eyes fell lightly on the young man’s clothes, subtly stiffing for a moment, and then without anyone noticing, naturally moved away to face Chun Yan who had already stepped off her bicycle.
“Class is over?” Su Bai’s smiling face matched with a round flesh face was really kind and amiable.
After greeting Chunyan, Su Bai looked doubtfully at the young man beside Chun Yan, who had beautiful pale bronze skin and bright big eyes that reminded him of the puppy he had once raised at home. A bright, beautiful, energetic little fellow.
Su Bai was not sure whether Su Mo knew the man. He chose to be silent and looked at the young man with a smile.
“Hello, Mr. Su. My name is Ye Ziwu.” With a young and bright smile that showed big white teeth.
Su Bai’s smile deepened. The young man’s seemingly unattractive, hand-made white cotton and hemp shirt came from the same place as clothes he had once liked. In addition to the name Ye Ziwu, if Su Bai was not Su Mo at the moment, he would have probably pat Ye Ziwu’s head kindly and asked with a smile, “Is your dad the head of Interpol, is your mother the lady of the African Mafia?”
Or pretend to be intimate and say, “Ah, you’ve grown so big now. Remember when I held you in my arms when you were still a little baby who could only eat your fingers.”
At that time, Master Su was about the same age as Ye Ziwu now. He danced with Ye Ziwu’s mother, along with rumors flying around. Additionally, Su Bai had performed deals with Ye Ziwu’s father before he became the head of the Interpol. And though they appreciated each other, they were also rational enough to not develop a relationship in bed.

T/N: Fish translated this chapter on the same day as the previous two and now Fish feels kind of tired @_@
Was so tempting to just blast chapters one after the other on the same day, but Fish had to keep buffers and do other things _(:3 」∠)_
Chapter 3 was actually released early on accident but Fish was too lazy to pull it down~~
