HLnovel Chapter 230 Arsonist
Chapter 230 Arsonist
Su Qi was watching a live stream when there was a knock on the door.
"Shen Chaohuai? Shouldn't you be participating in a dating reality show right now?"
Shen Chaohuai closed the gate, making sure no one was following him: "I ran away in the chaos."
"I bailed Gu Xing out to help you."
"Ah."
Su Qi thought of something: "But why would he be willing to help me? In the first place, I was the one who caused his downfall and ruined his reputation."
Shen Chaohuai smiled maliciously: "You don't know?"
She shook her head.
"Forget it, you're emotionally detached and don't understand these things."
“Shen Qingyue…”
He was speaking when a loud crashing sound came from the live broadcast on Su Qi's television.
When Su Qi turned around to look, flames burst forth, engulfing the entire scene.
"not good……"
"Shen Chaohuai, hurry, let's go over there, my friends are still inside."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, my car is parked right at the entrance."
……
A few minutes earlier, Shen Qingyue had fallen from the loose rock face. The bottomless reservoir contained a pile of firewood, with flames pouring in from both sides.
She struggled in vain, and the burning flames buried her inside.
A fire caused flames to spread throughout the site.
"It's burning well...it's burning well..."
"Die, all of you die..."
"You idiots... So what if you expose me? I had my moments of glory, after all..."
He started going crazy, spilling alcohol all over the office.
The fallen candlestick ignited the curtains, casting a blinding light from his office...
When Su Qi and Shen Chaohuai arrived at the scene, it was already impossible to enter the venue.
Xu Xiaowan, covered in ash, coughed as she said, "I don't even want this kind of turn of events to trend on social media. I'm starting to wonder if Zheng Ran has some powerful backing..."
Li Yancheng also kept coughing: "What a mess..."
Su Qi looked left and right before realizing that one person was missing: "Where's Shen Qingyue?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment: "Yes, where is Miss Shen?"
A woman's scream echoed from inside the stadium; the pitiful sound sent chills down everyone's spines.
"Save me... save me..."
"I don't want to die..."
Su Qi didn't understand where the fire inside the venue came from.
Could it be that Zheng Ran is seeking revenge on Shen Qingyue?
This was not what Su Qi had expected; she hadn't anticipated that the demon could be so disgusting.
Su Qi tried to save Shen Qingyue, but the fire was too intense.
When the fire truck arrived, a white sheet covered the stretcher, and the charred legs were exposed, the skin almost completely cooked.
Su Qi covered her mouth and silently turned her head away.
Li Yancheng gritted his teeth and said, "Who else could have done it? It's obvious at a glance, it's Zheng Ran..."
Xu Xiaowan was frightened and was taken back by her agent.
Shen Chaohuai offered words of comfort: "Since it has already happened, let's go all the way and completely drag him down from his pedestal."
Su Qi nodded and then opened the system.
"The Zheng family's stock price has risen sharply recently, and everyone is very optimistic about the Zheng family's only remaining branch in Hong Kong."
"That's because the Shen and Gu families fell into decline, which gave Zheng Ran the opportunity to rise to power."
"He has amassed funds from so many families, big and small, so it's normal for the stock price to rise."
"What if I expose this to his business partner?"
"You should definitely give it a try."
The two exchanged a smile. Su Qi instructed the system to record the video of the scene and send it anonymously via MMS to every business tycoon who had worked with Zheng Ran.
Private matters are not enough to shake his fundamental nature, so for someone who values money, only uprooting what he cherishes can truly shake him.
When each boss received the MMS, they didn't believe it and immediately called to verify it.
Zheng Ran offered various explanations: "How could that be? Don't believe it, it's all a tactic by our rivals to drag me down."
However, the overwhelming public opinion surged forth.
A fire broke out on the set of the fourth season of the dating reality show "We May Be Together," and actress Shen Qingyue perished in the flames.
Was the fire at the Love Story Studio caused by human intervention? The incident is under investigation.
#Police investigation reveals arson was committed, arrests arsonist
#Arsonist's actions revealed as being due to threats from Mr. Zheng Ran
Zheng Ran stared blankly at the news report on TV, his legs went weak.
"Alright, Mr. Zheng, what's the point of saying all this now? I'm withdrawing my investment in your project, and there's no need for us to cooperate anymore."
"Beep beep—" The call ended.
"Impossible, impossible... I've worked so hard to get to where I am today, how could it just disappear like that?"
Zheng Ran then made a phone call to an internet company: "Help me suppress public opinion, I'm willing to pay any price."
"Mr. Zheng is so rich, wouldn't it be reasonable for him to start with a billion?"
"Okay... ten billion it is..."
@Zheng Ran: I am also heartbroken by Shen Qingyue's passing, but the fire was caused by equipment malfunction at the scene and has nothing to do with me.
[First floor: ...Should you question the police investigation?]
[Second floor: Still trying to whitewash it? The evidence is irrefutable, stop pretending.]
[Third floor: I don't know what methods you used, but my marketing account gets its traffic limited as soon as it posts your message.]
"Traffic restriction?" Su Qi was furious when he heard that his posts about Zheng Ran's incident were being restricted.
Did he pay money to have it done?
[That's probably part of the reason, but Feifei guesses it might be because his story was so bizarre and absurd that the internet thought it was fabricated, hence the traffic restrictions.]
Su Qi rolled her eyes.
Fortunately, no matter how he explained it, those who knew the truth no longer believed him.
"Please retrieve the stock prices in Hong Kong."
The system showed that Zheng's stock price was falling sharply. That's how it is in the business world. When someone falls, no one dares to help, for fear of getting involved and being seen as an accomplice.
[Congratulations, Master! You have successfully resolved the hidden event, "Zheng Ran's Downfall," which is currently underway.]
[The current event has ended. You will receive numerical rewards and be promoted in rank.]
Su Qi paused for a moment: "So that's why I couldn't advance my rank by grinding stats before. Turns out I was missing an event?"
However, the owner stumbled upon the hidden event by sheer accident.
[Friendly reminder: You need to share the Zheng Ran incident nationwide.]
[NPC Zheng Ran Industry's stock price in the domestic stock market has not changed significantly. Please continue to monitor it.]
"What? You mean you don't believe it just because he had a house collapse in Hong Kong?"
To completely destroy him, you have to uproot him.
"Row."
Su Qi called her PR team: "Are those people I took in at the small workshop still around?"
Before Su Qi could finish speaking, the group of people were overjoyed: "Yes, please speak!"
"Finally, we have something to do! Otherwise, Miss Su would have been supporting us for so long for nothing, and we would never be able to repay her kindness!"
Su Qi issued the order: "I have sent you the entire video. You must expose his evil deeds to the people of the whole country."
Less than three minutes into editing the post, the person on the other end noticed something in surprise: "Wait a minute, Ms. Su, Mr. Zheng's story has already spread throughout the country and even become a hot topic overseas."
"These posts exposing the issue were created by an unknown IP address."
Su Qi was taken aback. Was someone stirring things up behind the scenes?
