Chapter 632: 635: What to Do If You Lose the Bet?

“Fifth Brother, isn’t that contradicting yourself?” Ye Xingli frowned, “You just said that although Lee Yi was quite assertive, it’s possible that someone unknowingly snuck into the basement. But now you’re saying that it’s improbable for someone to stealthily infiltrate the basement. These two statements are clearly conflicting!”

“They’re not,” Gu Junzhu explained, “I’ve prepared two sets of plans: one in the case that someone really did sneak into the basement, and another if no one did. Right now, even though we can’t ascertain if someone breached the basement years ago, from Lee Yi’s statement, we can infer that it’s quite unlikely. Therefore, we can employ the second plan.”

He paused, looked at Ye Xingli, and opined calmly, “In issues that solely rely on logical thinking, nobody can guarantee the accuracy of conclusions drawn from reasoning; we can only choose the more probable option, and take a gamble.”

Ye Xingli anxiously asked, “What if we lose the gamble?”

“If we lose, we’ll have a strategy for that too,” Gu Junzhu tightly held Ye Xingbei’s hand, soothingly squeezing it and looked into her eyes, “Relax, trust me, no matter what decision I make, it’s absolutely impossible to allow Ye Tao to leak the video… that is, if the alleged video even exists!”

Looking into his bright and calm eyes, Ye Xingbei’s restless heart began to mysteriously settle down.

“Alright!” she nodded, holding his hand back tightly, “Even if the video happens to leak, it doesn’t matter, I’m not scared! After all…nothing really happened, I’ll just consider it… acting…”

Many of Star Palace’s female artists had acts where they would hug and kiss male artists, kissing scenes, and nudity were commonplace.

At worst, she’ll just consider it an enactment of a passionate scene.

That’s how she reassured herself, but anyone could see that she was just putting up a brave front.

She cared deeply, more than anyone realized.

Looking at her pale face, Ye Xingli couldn’t help but feel heartbroken, and tried to comfort her, “Beibei, don’t be scared. Trust Fifth Brother and me. If both of us can’t handle Ye Tao, what kind of face would we have to show afterwards? You don’t need to worry about the process, the result will definitely bring good tidings and we absolutely make sure of it!”

“Okay,” Ye Xingbei threw him a reassuring smile, “Brother Li, I have faith in you guys.”

Seeing Ye Xingbei’s trust-filled eyes and her encouraging smile, Ye Xingli felt as if he had a fresh surge of motivation.

He asked Gu Junzhu hastily, “Fifth Brother, quickly, tell me, what are your two sets of plans like? I want to hear both the plans for when someone did sneak into the basement and when no one did.”

Gu Junzhu said, “If we decide that someone actually broke into the basement back then, we currently have no option but to keep our cards close to our chest: we’d have to agree to Ye Tao’s demands first to keep her stable, and think of a way to deal with her after she hands over the video.”

“Exactly!” Ye Xingli’s eyes instantly brightened: “Fifth Brother, I think we should execute this very plan! Whether the video is real or not, let’s just stick to this method! It’s safe and sound; it wouldn’t harm Beibei. As for Ye Tao’s siblings returning to their original posts, we wouldn’t mind if they go back to work for now. Once the video issue is settled, we can just have them take a hike!”
