Hello, lovely readers! ^^
Sorry for the interruption, but we'd like you to help with a tiny request. It'd mean a lot to us if you're willing to spare 3 minutes to help with this poll on Ko-fi telling us what series brings you/which you read mostly on this site. Here's the link - https://ko-fi.com/polls/What-series-do-you-enjoy-the-most-on-our-site-Or-A0A71UA533 Thanks in advance! Bless you all. đź’—
Chapter 129: Didn't Expect Big Brother to Be a Psycho
As Shen Jingxiu’s car pulled to a halt, the man in the driver's seat immediately hopped out to open the rear door for him.
Shen Jingchuan followed closely, sliding into the front passenger seat.
The interior lights were on. The moment he entered, Shen Jingxiu saw the bag spilled open next to Qiao Kexin, along with the assortment of jewelry scattered inside.
The gems were far too eye-catching to miss; Shen Jingchuan saw them too.
He couldn't help but let out a contemptuous sneer. "What's this? Planning to abscond to avoid trial?"
A cold smirk played on the corners of Shen Jingxiu’s mouth. "You certainly know how to pick your moment. If my people had been just a few minutes later, you’d probably be halfway across the world with these trinkets."
Qiao Kexin shrank back. Unsure of how much Shen Jingxiu actually knew, she decided to play dumb.
"I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Shen. Didn't you tell me to leave City A forever? I'm just doing exactly what you told me to do. Why have you brought me back after I was already leaving?"
Beside them, Shen Jingchuan was stunned. ...Wait, what? "Let her leave"? Did these two know each other beforehand? This web is getting more tangled by the second.
Shen Jingxiu only responded with a chilling laugh. He stared at Qiao Kexin, his expression darkening instantly.
Suddenly, a stack of papers printed with close-up shots of the fake Hou Wenbin’s face was slammed into Qiao Kexin’s lap.
"Open your eyes and look closely. Tell me who this is. And don't give me any 'I don't know him' crap. I'm not buying it."
Qiao Kexin quickly scooped up the images, glanced at them, and immediately shook her head.
"I don't know him. I really don't. I've never seen this man before in my life until these pictures. What are you trying to do, Mr. Shen? I'm so scared... you're frightening me."
Acting! Shen Jingxiu gave her a frigid look. "You don't know him? Then how about Min Xiaaxia? Surely you know her?"
Qiao Kexin continued to shake her head. "I don't know her either. No—I can't say I don't know her at all; I've seen her variety shows, but that's it. I have no connection to her in real life."
"Excellent." Shen Jingxiu chuckled softly. "Are you trying to test my patience? Playing the fool. You don't know this person, you don't know that person... Fine. What about this? You definitely recognize this, don't you?"
As he spoke, Shen Jingxiu slowly pulled a syringe out of his trouser pocket right in front of her.
"You should be quite familiar with this. I found it on your stepbrother, Qiao Qinglang, earlier tonight. I don't know exactly how you two planned to use this on my sister... but I know exactly how I'm going to use it on you."
Shen Jingchuan: "......" Holy crap! Is Big Brother actually this hardcore? Qiao Qinglang had been at the station for ages without uttering a word; how the hell did Big Brother get his hands on this?
Is he really going to use it on her? Using it yourself is just administrative detention, but forcing it on someone else is a serious felony, isn't it?
Who would've thought... Big Brother is a total psycho!
What was even more frustrating for Shen Jingchuan was that he didn't know what to do. Should he help his brother pin the woman down, or should he make a polite show of trying to stop him from committing a crime?
By now, Shen Jingxiu had wordlessly grabbed Qiao Kexin’s arm.
She struggled, but the space inside the car was cramped, and she was no match for him.
Before the needle even touched her skin, she began to wail for mercy.
"Don't touch me! Please! I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything, just please don't give me that! I'll tell you everything, I swear!
"It was Min Xiaxia—she approached me first! I didn't know her before. We were at the same banquet that day, and she saw that Wen Yan and I didn't get along. She approached me saying she wanted to buy dirt on Wen Yan because she felt Wen Yan was standing in her way.
"Later, she wasn't satisfied with just smearing her name; she wanted to destroy Wen Yan once and for all. The man in those photos you showed me—Min Xiaxia found him too.
"She had him pretend to be some producer to lure Wen Yan out. And I... I only called Qiao Qinglang over. But I didn't instigate it! My stepfather and Qiao Qinglang had their eyes on Wen Yan a long time ago.
"My stepfather always wanted to form a marriage alliance between his two sons and your Shen family."
"Heh!" Hearing the words 'marriage alliance,' Shen Jingchuan immediately recalled Wen Yan mentioning that Qiao Kexin wanted him to pretend to be her boyfriend. He couldn't help but snap.
"How cheap can you get! You think you're worthy?!! Disgusting!"
"Yes, we're not worthy! Compared to the Shens, the Qiaos are nothing! They knew that from the start, which is why they didn't even dare to dream about Shen Zhirou, the Shens' biological daughter.
"They wanted me to set up Qiao Qinglang and Wen Yan a long time ago, but back then, Wen Yan wasn't interested in being friends with him. They never gave up; they kept trying to get me to create opportunities for them to meet.
"It was the same this time. Qiao Qinglang knew I'd seen Wen Yan at that banquet, so he forced me to find a way. I had no choice!"
Shen Jingchuan let out a soft laugh, his gaze toward Qiao Kexin turning ice-cold.
"So you're saying it's all your stepbrother's fault? You're certainly good at shifting blame, and your heart is deep enough. You really think I can't see that you're trying to use the Shens to get revenge on your stepfather’s family, hmm?"
"...!!!" Exposed, Qiao Kexin froze for a moment, then she suddenly began to laugh coldly.
"You really aren't easy to fool; you saw through it so quickly. But so what? They were never good to me! Just because we aren't blood-related, because I was born to my mother and her ex-husband, they looked down on me everywhere! They never treated me like one of their own! What's wrong with me wanting revenge? It's just that I don't have the power myself. If I did, I wouldn't have had to use yours."
By the end, her face shifted again into a look of desperate pleading as she turned to Shen Jingxiu.
"I've told you everything I know. Please, let me go? These jewels—if you like them, you can have them all, okay? Just turn a blind eye and let me leave."
Shen Jingchuan was speechless with exasperation.
"Are you serious? You think the Shen family lacks your pile of scrap metal? You aren't getting away, Qiao. Qiao Qinglang is definitely going to rat you out."
"Yes, he definitely will. But it doesn't matter, as long as you let me go. Please, I'm begging you, let me go! I still have time; I can get away. I swear on my life I’ll never show my face in front of you again. Just please, don't hand me over to the police!"
