Chapter 817: Chapter 815: The Bullet Screen Scam 37
"Brother Muzhi, Brother Muyang, are you resting here today, or going back?"
"Earlier, you got drunk, and because it was a bit far, I was worried you might feel uncomfortable in the car. Then, I suddenly remembered there was a manor owned by our family nearby, so I brought you here. I didn’t expect... such a thing would happen." Ah Chen said.
"This time, the person who made the false accusation will definitely be held accountable. This place is secure, and they can’t come in to frame us. I don’t know what the purpose of accusing me of doing such things is."
[What is the identity of the whistleblower? Did they unintentionally learn something and want to use it to trouble me, or do they have other motives? Have the Shen Brothers noticed anything? I feel that things shouldn’t drag on for too long. Rong Yu can’t wait, and I’m afraid of any changes in between. We need to resolve this soon.]
Shen Muzhi remained calm and said, "People who make reckless accusations without evidence will definitely be held accountable by the police, don’t worry."
"I won’t stay here much longer; I have some things to deal with back home," he added.
Shen Muyang quickly chimed in, "Since brother wants to go back, then of course I’ll go back with him; mom has given me tasks as well."
The two brothers pretended to be relaxed, but their backs were completely soaked.
Ah Chen naturally wouldn’t hold them back, "Then I won’t go with you. I have nothing planned for the holiday, so I think I’ll stay at the manor for a while."
Upon hearing this, the two brothers visibly relaxed a bit.
Ah Chen’s smile deepened. They were truly afraid of her, but the Qiao Family’s wealth was too tempting for them to abandon.
Especially after learning that this manor also belonged to the Qiao Family, an asset unknown to them, they would hesitate to abandon their plans, fearing they might make various assumptions.
Even if she was dangerous, they merely saw her as a love-struck fool.
As long as they drag things out, once Rong Yu is out of the picture, everything will proceed according to their plan.
Originally, they were quite successful; had it not been for the final encounter, the commissioner wouldn’t have suspected them one bit even up to his demise.
With the Shen Brothers leaving, Ning Xueren had no reason to stay here either and hurriedly bid farewell to Ah Chen.
Thus, only Ah Chen and Rong Yu were left in the house.
Rong Yu continued to work on his exam papers, while Ah Chen sat beside him, occasionally chatting with him, engaging in idle talk.
Places to visit, fun activities, future aspirations, and such.
Not a single topic was of interest to the Shen Family.
"It seems she never discusses the specifics of Rong Yu’s condition with him. If only she mentioned something related, they wouldn’t be able to catch any weakness." Shen Muyang scratched his head, looking somewhat irritated.
Shen Muzhi closed his eyes briefly and said, "Perhaps it’s because of the audience comments."
"What do you mean?" Shen Muyang couldn’t immediately make sense of it, "What’s the comment section got to do with it?"
Shen Muzhi took a deep breath before saying, "With a group of viewers around and live comments, many things aren’t suitable for display in front of them. Even if she believes she and the commenters belong to separate worlds that don’t interfere with each other, she still doesn’t want to expose these matters to countless pairs of eyes."
"Did you notice she’s always pretending not to see the comments, once exposed to them? It’s an attempt not to alert the audience."
"Ultimately, Qiao Chen is quite clever and doesn’t want to put herself in danger, even if the risk is small."
Shen Muyang breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought she realized something was unusual about the comments. Brother, you really scared me."
"It’s unlikely," Shen Muzhi said, "She wasn’t aware of any issues with the comments initially. If she did, we wouldn’t be seeing the current reaction. However, she won’t show everything in front of the comments."
"If it were me, I’d make the same choice, knowing there are viewers from another dimension watching me, and I’d disguise myself even better. I might even find ways to resolve the matter, as I wouldn’t want my every move to be monitored."
"Would you, though? Would you want your every move to be observed?" Shen Muzhi looked at Shen Muyang.
Shen Muyang shook his head frantically, the mere thought was chilling, leaving no privacy at all.
"That’s why she won’t divulge anything about Rong Yu’s condition."
Shen Muyang asked curiously, "Then how does she instruct those people? To get things done you need to communicate with others, right?"
Shen Muzhi said indifferently, "She might be using other methods. As long as she isn’t restricted in freedom and means, even with countless eyes on her, she’d have numerous ways to communicate with others. Plus, technology nowadays offers so many possibilities."
"Once the initial communication is established, further exchanges become easier. Often, the other person just needs to report back to her over the phone, and she doesn’t need to say much. A few simple words are sufficient."
"Of course, there might be even more secretive means of communication."
Shen Muyang no longer pursued this topic further and said, "So what should we do next? It looks like her methods will become more extreme, and it’s challenging to catch any flaws."
"There shouldn’t be much happening recently; she might be checking the people around her."
"For now, delay things. As long as we prepare well, she won’t succeed," Shen Muzhi said, "This time, we miscalculated. Didn’t expect her to prepare so thoroughly."
"Luckily, the whistleblower was one of us," Shen Muyang said, "It’s quite a shame; it would have been great if we could have her locked up."
If they were Shen Family members close to her, even if she committed wrongs, it could be used to benefit them.
"Didn’t get a chance to talk to Ning Xueren today." Shen Muyang shifted topics, having just experienced such matters, he wasn’t in much of a mood.
"By the way, brother, how did you know Ning Xueren would hastily come upon receiving the message?" Shen Muyang asked.
Shen Muzhi smiled faintly, "Haven’t you noticed she indeed cares about you more than a little?"
Previously, it was only known that the third brother fancied Ning Xueren; there hadn’t been much interaction observed between them.
Seeing Ning Xueren greet the third brother today, he sensed something amiss and asked someone to send a probing text message.
Sure enough, Ning Xueren came quickly, evidently still concerned about the third brother.
Shen Muyang was instantly ecstatic, unable to contain his joy.
"Even if she sees you differently, there still exists a considerable gap between you now," Shen Muzhi stated bluntly, "Her current affections fall short of being willing to abandon everything. Hence, gaining Ning Family’s admiration is crucial."
Shen Muyang deflated immediately.
"That leaves it to you, brother, to work hard, marry Qiao Chen soon. That’s the only way our plan would work."
Shen Muyang counted the time; Qiao Chen was seventeen. In three years, in three years, Qiao Chen would reach the legal age for marriage, allowing for a marriage certificate.
"By then, we’d have to trouble Sister Meng Yan."
Shen Muzhi’s eyes darkened, "She has her own thoughts and won’t be unhappy. Instead, if we go further, she’d be happier."
"This is just temporary; her place beside me is always hers."
What does Qiao Chen amount to?
