Chapter 73: Getting Ready to Close the Net

A flash of joy appeared in Su Qian’s eyes.

“Alright. If the video is useful to me, I’ll buy it for one hundred thousand.”

The content creator was clearly startled by Su Qian’s words.

Her mouth dropped open in shock.

She froze for a while before she said, “Th-that’s way too much. I’ll ask him right now.”

She had only just started her account and only had twenty to thirty thousand fans.

In a month, she earned enough to cover basic living expenses.

Su Qian offering one hundred thousand in one go shocked her badly.

She immediately contacted her friend, and he sent all the videos they had filmed at Bubble Aroma Wonton House to Su Qian.

Su Qian watched the footage.

At the critical moment of the crash,

Chen Zi Hao really did shove Shen Meng Qi without leaving obvious traces.

If it weren’t for that shove, Shen Meng Qi wouldn’t have died on the spot.

At the very least, she could have been rescued.

“That beast.” Su Qian’s eyes turned cold.

She saved the video.

Then she quickly transferred the money to the content creator and her friend, and even added another twenty thousand as a thank-you.

Su Qian posted a message in the Chat Group.

“Meng Qi said she felt like someone shoved her. Turns out it wasn’t a mistake.”

Su Qian wanted to send the video into the group.

But after thinking about it, she worried it would cause Shen Meng Qi a second wave of pain.

Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “Su Qian darling, you found proof?”

Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “So this crash wasn’t an accident?”

Su Qian replied in the group, “The crash was an accident, but Chen Zi Hao shoved Meng Qi to protect himself. But there was no surveillance, so it was ruled a traffic accident.”

Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “[Angry] I’m furious! He’s literally a beast!”

Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “Enough. I can die a little more at peace now, haha. Su Qian darling, thanks!”

Shen Meng Qi’s mindset was surprisingly upbeat.

Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “It’s too early to thank me. Xiao Yu hasn’t closed the net yet. We agreed to ruin him completely.”

Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “Then what are you going to do next?”

Su Qian’s lips curved slightly.

She replied in the group, “Going to your house to talk to your parents.”

She kept the details vague.

She asked Shen Meng Qi for her home address.

Shen Meng Qi’s parents felt confused and guarded when they saw a stranger standing in front of them.

Su Qian smiled politely. “Uncle, Auntie, I’m Meng Qi’s friend. My name is Su Qian.”

When Mother Shen heard she was her daughter’s friend, her expression softened a little.

Su Qian explained why she had come.

When they learned Shen Meng Qi’s crash might not be simple, the couple’s first reaction was disbelief.

“Zi Hao, that child, wouldn’t do anything that harms our Meng Qi,” Father Shen shook his head.

“Yes,” Mother Shen agreed. “After Meng Qi passed, that child was heartbroken. Afraid of being reminded by familiar places, he even gave up the company’s bright future and left Bin Hai City.”

“He comes to visit us often. Every time his eyes are red, asking how we’re doing and checking on everything.”

“No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t seem like the kind of person who could do that.”

Hearing them, Su Qian’s lips twitched.

She understood.

Chen Zi Hao had really cemented his “devoted lover” persona.

He wasn’t afraid of being reminded at all. He was afraid the truth would be exposed, so he ran as early as he could.

Su Qian couldn’t bear to let the couple stay in the dark.

She decided to show them the video.

Watching the footage, Mother Shen’s lips began trembling violently, and tears spilled out uncontrollably.

She murmured in disbelief, “How… how could he do something like this…”

Father Shen clenched his fists tightly.

Veins bulged on his forehead. He glared at the screen and cursed through gritted teeth, “That beast! We’ve been fooled by him this whole time!”

“I understand how you feel, Uncle and Auntie.” Su Qian took a deep breath.

She tried to keep her voice steady. “Would you be willing to help me act out a play and bring him to justice?”

Father Shen’s chest rose and fell sharply.

After a long while, he finally calmed down a little.

“Alright, miss. Tell us what we should do.”

Seeing Father Shen agree, Su Qian felt a surge of joy.

She explained her plan to the couple.

Two days later,

Chen Zi Hao contacted Su Qian with an excited heart, saying he had already quit his job and could accompany her to report to the new company anytime.

“Zi Hao, you’re so good,” Su Qian said on the phone. “But the company had an emergency, so I came early yesterday.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine,” Chen Zi Hao said quickly.

His voice was full of urgency. “Then I’ll buy a ticket and rush over right now. Wait for me there, okay? Don’t tire yourself out. You’re all alone.”

Su Qian’s lips curled into a small smile.

After playing with him for so long,

it was time to close the net.

She still replied gently, “Okay. Be careful on the way. I’ll wait here.”

Chen Zi Hao hung up and excitedly bought the earliest flight.

Su Qian posted another message in the Chat Group.

“Get ready to close the net. Those who need to bring little stools, bring little stools. Those who need to crack sunflower seeds, crack sunflower seeds. Sit in a row and get ready to watch the drama @everyone.”

The group instantly got lively.

Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Whoa, we’re finally closing the net! I’ve already got my little stool and my sunflower seeds!”

Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Hmph! Sister Qian Qian, make him suffer!”

Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “Haha, Su Qian darling, remember to film more.”

“Got you.” Su Qian replied with a smile. “I’ll make it satisfying for you. You’ll get to see Chen Zi Hao’s ugly true face peeled off bit by bit.”

After Chen Zi Hao got off the plane, he immediately went to meet Su Qian.

He deliberately wore a sharp suit and carefully styled his hair.

He looked decent enough, except there were bruises around his eyes and at the corners of his mouth.

“You… what kind of styling is this?” Su Qian pointed at his face, confusion flashing in her eyes.

It was pretty special.

Chen Zi Hao’s heart skipped. His eyes darted away in panic.

Then he forced a smile. “Ah, Sister Qian Qian, it was just a little accident. A few days ago I fell and hit the ground, so it ended up like this.”

He looked cheerful on the surface, but inside he was already crying.

These past two days, it was like he was haunted.

Every unlucky thing kept landing on him.

Su Qian’s lips curved slightly. She watched him with a half-smile, but didn’t expose him.

Looks like the misfortune talisman worked pretty well.

“Oh. Since you’re fine, let’s go to the company.” Su Qian calmly took out her phone to call a taxi.

“A taxi?” Chen Zi Hao asked, puzzled. “Where’s your car?”

He had been hoping to mooch a ride in Su Qian’s Lamborghini.

Su Qian didn’t lift her head. She tapped the ride-hailing app and said casually, “I came by plane.”

She didn’t want Chen Zi Hao mooching her car.

Chen Zi Hao let out an “oh,” but he still felt uneasy.

Su Qian’s attitude today felt strange, but he couldn’t point out exactly what was wrong.
