Chapter 803 - 801: Bullet Screen Scam 23

Ah Chen hadn’t spoken yet, when Shen Muzhi opened his mouth: "Since your classmate has woken up, let’s listen to this recording."

After finishing, he played the recording.

Inside, it was Jiao Yu and Dai Xuan discussing how to plot against Ah Chen, along with the rewards Dai Xuan would give Jiao Yu after the deed was done.

The guests’ gazes kept shifting between Jiao Yu and Dai Xuan, looking like they were watching a good show, feeling that today was worth attending.

The plan from the Dai Family was to have the unreliable Dai Feng get involved with Qiao Chen in some way, then just claim it was an accident afterwards.

Even if she wanted to pursue it, sacrificing the not-so-useful Dai Feng wouldn’t matter to the Dai Family, as his reputation was already unsavory; anyway, he was just a playboy, and besides, he was drunk.

Of course, Dai Feng was willing to do this, and the Dai Family would give him quite a few benefits. To him, a playboy, sleeping with a woman carried no mental burden.

Jiao Yu’s task was to lure Ah Chen over, to seize the chance to attend this feast of betrayal.

The benefits she received afterwards were that the Dai Family would help her settle the incident of her brother hitting someone; she would receive an extra five million and an opportunity to study abroad. According to the recording, if she didn’t help resolve her brother’s matter, her parents would send her to an older man’s bed to sacrifice her for resolving her brother’s issue.

When Dai Xuan approached her, she almost agreed without hesitation.

She had even thought it through, once abroad, she would never return, breaking free from this terrible family forever.

The expressions of those present were indescribable, and Jiao Yu appeared to be such a genteel young lady, yet it was unexpected that her heart was so malicious.

With her plan exposed, suddenly facing so many examining gazes, Jiao Yu’s face paled beyond belief, instinctively looking towards Ah Chen, wanting to say something, but merely opened her mouth without knowing what to say.

[Whew, knew Shen Muzhi was reliable.]

[It’s good that the female lead discovered Jiao Yu’s true colors; otherwise, such a person might strike again; even though the female lead ultimately won’t be harmed, it’s still frightening.]

[It must be hard for the female lead to know a friend plotted against her.]

The Commissioner was certainly upset; Ah Chen felt nothing.

She glanced lightly at Jiao Yu, not asking why; wasn’t the reason in the recording crystal clear?

For her own future, Jiao Yu decided to sacrifice her good friend; there was nothing more to say.

"Brother Muzhi, what should be done next?" Ah Chen asked Shen Muzhi. Since Shen Muzhi was here, of course there’s no need for her to handle it personally, knowing he could manage it well. Besides, wasn’t Shen Muzhi here to resolve things? Obviously a chance should be given for him to display his abilities.

"Leave it to me," Shen Muzhi said, when he was about to stroke Ah Chen’s hair, she had already stepped towards the outside.

"Then I’ll trouble Brother Muzhi, I’ll wait outside for you."

She didn’t look back, about to disappear into the crowd, while Jiao Yu couldn’t help but call out: "Qiao Chen."

Ah Chen halted her steps, glanced back at her, said nothing, just waited for Jiao Yu to continue.

Jiao Yu had expected Ah Chen to ask something, but the way she said nothing made Jiao Yu feel even more uneasy inside.

She was done for.

"Qiao Chen, I’m helpless too; you’re not me, not in my situation, you don’t know how hard my days are," Jiao Yu said urgently, covering her face and starting to cry, "I didn’t want to harm you, but I had no other choice. If I don’t find a way to save myself, my parents will certainly marry me off to an old man to settle my brother’s matter."

"I’m only seventeen, I don’t want my life to be just that."

"I merely wanted to break away from that family."

"If I could, I wouldn’t walk this path."

Ah Chen sized up Jiao Yu, gently shaking her head: "You dare to harm an innocent person like me, yet why don’t you dare to strike against those oppressing you? If you harm me, is it truly just to escape your current plight?"

Perhaps there’s unresolved resentment and jealousy internally, which Ah Chen sensed during their interactions, but it wasn’t unexpected; it’s human nature for those living unhappily to envy those living well.

Some merely think about it internally, won’t take actions to cause harm, it’s not a big issue, even understandable.

While some will take action, that doesn’t seem innocent.

"You already know my family background, you should understand if you confess this matter to me, I would certainly help resolve it. If the Dai Family were plotting against me, you report it to me, you might even gain benefits," Ah Chen chuckled, "Walking such a narrow road, you’re clear why in your heart."

Jiao Yu’s bloodless lips trembled, Qiao Chen observed.

Having her motives exposed internally, Jiao Yu could no longer control herself and shouted loudly: "Why should I tell you? How could a rich girl like you understand what kind of days I live? Always so high above, like someone who doesn’t partake in worldly matters. I wanted to see what you’d be like when pulled down from your pedestal."

It’s enough to say it.

Ah Chen lifted her steps and departed.

That storyline belonged to Jiao Yu, but merely a trifling detail in the Commissioner’s life, not worth paying much attention to.

Seeing Ah Chen’s indifferent appearance, Jiao Yu lost focus for a moment.

Why wasn’t Qiao Chen upset?

Why this reaction?

Not even a bit of anger?

Weren’t they good friends? She had done such things, yet why would the other party act like this? Even if she cursed her a few times, rebuked her a few times, she could at least feel somewhat relieved.

So in Qiao Chen’s heart, does she really hold no status whatsoever?

No, how could that be, they were so close.

If their relationship was poor, would she accompany her here?

For a moment, Jiao Yu’s thoughts were somewhat muddled.

"We need to deal with other matters now," Shen Muzhi’s voice brought everyone back to their senses, "Since they dared to target Xiao Chen, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Father Dai knew struggling was useless, he quickly stepped forward to plead: "President Shen, this matter ..."

"I’ve already called the police," Shen Muzhi glanced deeply at Father Dai, the latter’s face turned ghastly, understanding that calling the police was merely a surface action, and next, the Dai Family should prepare for a siege by the Shen Family.

No need to say more, since the Dai Family plotted against Qiao Chen, the Qiao Family’s agent would certainly offer assistance.

Many hadn’t thought of it before, that with Old Sir Qiao gone, they could ally against the Qiao Family. Yet the Qiao Family has an extremely capable agent, this person was extraordinarily loyal to Old Sir Qiao, countless people tried to win him over but were all refused.

Actually, with Old Sir Qiao’s tactics and preparations, even if the agent made mistakes, it couldn’t take the Qiao Family away. As for truly collapsing the Qiao Family, the local government would be the first to disagree, as the Qiao Family’s enterprises employ many people; if they really collapsed, how many would be unemployed?

Once Shen Muzhi left, Father Dai collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

After everyone dispersed, he stood up again, firstly delivering a slap on Dai Feng’s face: "Useless thing, can’t even manage this small task, don’t know how to speed up?"

"You’re also a useless thing, actually got recorded," Father Dai slapped Dai Xuan’s face again.

Dai Feng and Dai Xuan dared not make a sound, merely covering their faces in silence.
