One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos - Chapter 152:

Chapter 152: Chapter 129: You Are All Murderers

Ye Bingtong, desperate and panicking, directly dialed Ye Lin’s phone.

Only when the familiar busy signal came through did she realize that she had long been blacklisted by Ye Lin.

Ye Bingtong immediately felt a wave of grievance.

After the second brother came back, he didn’t even meet with her before he was influenced by those people. Now, was he also abandoning his own sister just like them?

In the past.

It wasn’t like this at all!

Her second brother had been nice to her since she was a child. He liked to act, and they would buy lots of dolls to be the audience. The second brother always liked to play the hero, while she would sit beside him, clapping her hands.

Such moments, when remembered, seemed like only yesterday.

Why.

Has everything changed?

Ye Bingtong gritted her teeth.

She couldn’t believe that her second brother truly had no affection for his sister!

They were such close kin not long ago; how could this change so suddenly?

Even if the second brother had managed not to seek her out before.

But now.

Watching her fall into such straits, could he really bear it?

“Give me your phone.” Ye Bingtong snatched Luo Li’s phone and dialed the number she remembered.

This time.

Ye Lin answered the call.

The other side was silent.

Ye Bingtong trembled, and for a moment, she really didn’t know what to say.

After a long while.

A calm voice came from the other end, “Ye Bingtong?”

It was Ye Lin’s voice.

But it was not the doting tone she remembered from her memory.

Immediately, Ye Bingtong felt aggrieved, “Second brother!”

She didn’t know what she had done wrong for the Ye Family, Ye Xiao, to target her to this extent.

Now, even the always-gentle second brother had become cold and distant.

Is this world really trying to drive her to death!

“Second brother, the things on the internet today…” Ye Bingtong’s voice trembled.

“I know,” said Ye Lin directly.

Ye Bingtong shuddered.

Ye Lin actually knew?

Her second brother, though a celebrity, had an old cadre’s style when away from the set; during rest times, he mostly spent his time reading and writing, hardly paying attention to entertainment news.

But this time.

He knew about it as soon as it happened.

Someone must have told him.

Ye Bingtong couldn’t help feeling agitated, blurting out, “It was Ye Xiao, right? What did she tell you! Second brother, she has always been slandering me! We have lived together for so many years, don’t you know the kind of person I am? Now, Dad, Mom, and Big Brother are all bewitched by her. Second brother, you’re all I have left!”

Ye Lin was silent for a while, his voice growing even colder, “Xiaoxiao has never said anything to me.”

Ye Bingtong was at a loss for words for a moment, but she still couldn’t restrain herself, “Then at home, she must usually speak ill of me.”

Ye Lin said calmly, “Xiaoxiao hardly ever mentions you at home. In fact, since you left the Ye Family, everyone at home hardly ever mentions you.”

Ye Lin was telling the truth.

Ye Bingtong felt terrible!

What does this mean?

In her imagination, Ye Xiao and the Ye Family had been scheming against her.

But now, Ye Lin was saying they wouldn’t even deign to talk about her.

Does that mean

She doesn’t even qualify as an opponent?

Ye Bingtong couldn’t help but say, “Second brother! Ye Xiao may not say anything on the surface, but who knows how much bad she’s talked about me behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could this incident have blown up so big? Second brother, please speak up for me on Weibo; you’re a movie star with countless fans. If you speak out, your fans will stand up for me too. Moreover, the elder ones would give you face and would stop this.”

As she spoke, Ye Bingtong’s eyes were full of hope.

For a while, the only sound was silence.

Finally, Ye Lin spoke up, “So… exactly where have you been wronged or set up?”

Ye Bingtong didn’t expect such a counter-question and was momentarily stunned.

Ye Lin was still waiting for an answer. “Is it the incident from your childhood where you set up Lin Yun that you’re being accused of? Or after you grew up, the matter of hiding your origins? Or the events involving Xiaoxiao that you’re accused of orchestrating? Or having Chen Yueyue conceal her child and marry big brother under false pretenses? Or even tonight’s self-directed drama, are you saying you’ve been framed for that too?”

Ye Lin asked about each event in turn.

Ye Bingtong’s heart faltered for a moment before she hurriedly said, “Second brother, don’t tell me you believe those netizens’ absurd claims. They’re all far-fetched! Don’t you know what kind of person I am?”

Ye Lin said calmly, “I don’t know. Perhaps I never have.”

Ye Bingtong clenched her teeth. “Second brother! Can’t you just believe me this once?”

“Ye Bingtong.” Ye Lin sighed. “When the family told me to stay away from you, I was skeptical and didn’t fully believe it. So, these past few days, I’ve been conducting a lot of investigations in secret. I even met with Director Li’s grandson. How could you do such a thing to such a small child! If you still consider me your brother, listen to me, leave the entertainment industry, find a steady job, live a peaceful life. Otherwise, if you keep this up, you’ll end up in a sorry state sooner or later.”

Ye Bingtong’s face twisted with rage.

She had already had enough bad luck tonight.

Now she had called Ye Lin, not to listen to his lectures.

Ye Bingtong’s voice suddenly sharpened. “End up in a sorry state? As long as you’re willing to help me, how could I end up like that! Ye Lin! Have you all been hexed by that Ye Xiao? She’s clearly the vile one, why do you all listen to her? As long as you’re willing to help me, I can definitely get through this crisis, I can still live the life of the elite! Don’t you want to see me living well?”

Ye Lin listened in silence.

He had said what needed to be said.

Now, he had nothing left to say.

“Ye Lin! This time, you have to help me.” Ye Bingtong bit her teeth. “If you don’t, and if I become desperate, you, Ye Xiao, and the entire Ye Family will be the murderers.”

Ye Bingtong’s words were full of threats.

Ye Lin laughed bitterly.

Not because he was being threatened.

But because after all these years,

It was only now that he truly understood his sister.

“I wish you happiness in another world,” said Ye Lin before hanging up the phone.

Ye Bingtong felt like she was going to go mad, she kept redialing the number over and over again.

But no one answered from the other side, and evidently, the number had been blacklisted.

Ye Bingtong couldn’t help but furiously smash her phone to the ground.

Luo Li watched, his lips trembling.

He wanted to say…

That it was his phone.
