Chapter 164 Imminent Retribution
"Have you thought clearly?"
A clear and familiar voice.
She looked through the car window and saw Zheng Ran sitting on the hood of the car.
Su Qi rolled down the window: "My car is rubbish, it's not very durable. Be careful not to damage it and I'll make you pay double."
"Hey, I'll make sure it's repaired if it gets damaged." Zheng Ran walked over and stuck his head in through the car window.
Su Qi rolled up the car window, and Zheng Ran almost got his head stuck.
"You have a bad temper."
"I'm here to remind you that Shu Yu is my person, and you can't touch her."
Su Qi gave him a deep look: "You don't need to show your protectiveness in front of me, it won't work on me."
"Also, I suppose you tacitly approved of Shu Yu doing this? Aren't you afraid of affecting the variety show's effect, and the variety show's head will blame you?"
"Blame me? Ha, I invested in this variety show."
Su Qi turned to look at him and gripped the steering wheel tightly.
"It's just a pity. If you had invested earlier, you would have been the one making waves on the variety show."
Su Qi smiled and said, "Are you saying I'm not qualified to get involved in this? What if I could bring greater revenue to the variety show?"
Zheng Ran said, "No need. You don't have to listen to me, but I can make sure you can't make it in the Hong Kong entertainment industry."
Su Qi rolled her eyes at him, stepped on the gas, and sped off.
She wasn't afraid of these threats at all; they were just a way to bully the weak.
After returning home, Feifei helped find the address where the edited video was sent.
[It's confirmed to be at the recording site of a variety show.]
"It was clearly posted by her herself. Do you really think I can't figure it out?"
[Just a reminder, the owner could use their own blog to reveal the truth; this would actually increase their followers and help restore the show's reputation.]
"It's simple, we just need to pin everything on Shu Yu as the designer."
"only……"
Su Qi really didn't understand what the point of Shu Yu's actions was. People who enter the entertainment industry either want to make money, are passionate about it, or want fame.
So, what does Shu Yu want?
Originally, she was just an agent, and she should have cared most about money, not fame. But when she made the bet, she didn't care about money at all.
Su Qi used a computer to dismantle the accounts that posted and edited the videos, and was able to completely uncover that the account holder was Shu Yu.
She gathered the information, opened her personal blog, and edited the post to prepare for publication.
At the same time, Shen Chaohuai also uncovered the truth. Unlike Su Qi, he used the effects of video presentation to showcase it on his personal blog.
Netizens were shocked when they saw the entry.
Holy crap, that's incredible! How did these two manage to find the truth using such different methods?
[Is that really Shu Yu? So she edited the video.]
Didn't she clarify that she didn't do it? What does this mean now? She's been proven wrong.
Shu Yu covered her head in disbelief: "Who did this? How did they find this out? Are they cheating?"
In a short time, Shu Yu's newly gained number of fans dropped by more than half.
Knowing he was finished, unable to gain any reputation and forced to give money to his opponent, Shu Yu called Zheng Ran.
Meanwhile, the system notified that Su Qi's fan count was rising.
Your popularity has risen to [a certain level].
Su Qi's relentless exposure of Shu Yu's powerful backers garnered widespread attention online, with many hailing him as a champion of justice.
@SuQi: Shu Yu's actions have nothing to do with the production team of the dating reality show. Please stop spreading rumors.
She used her account to clarify the situation, which not only restored her and Shen Chaohuai's reputations, but also exposed Shu Yu's true colors and revealed the truth about the variety show production team that was originally being blamed.
Shen Chaohuai quickly resolved the crisis, and the moment his reputation was restored, he first sent a message to Su Qi: See, I didn't lie to you, Shu Yu and I really don't have that kind of relationship.
Su Qi: I already knew, otherwise I wouldn't have helped you.
Shen Chaohuai stood there, stunned: "She...she actually meant that."
Wait, then why was she teasing him before?
Thinking about this, Shen Chaohuai was somewhat dissatisfied, but soon his emotions were enveloped by a sense of satisfaction.
At this moment, Su Qi received another system notification.
[Shu Yu's national popularity has dropped to zero; please be aware of your rivals' popularity.]
"Now that it's back to zero, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
Feifei shook her head: "But something about the numbers just doesn't seem right to me."
Su Qi stared at the numerical panel and saw the words "Darkening Value".
A red upward arrow appeared before his eyes, and Su Qi frowned deeply.
……
Zheng Family Villa.
Shu Yu stood at the door, carrying her bag, and rang the bell: "Butler, I need to see Young Master Zheng."
The butler led Shu Yu inside, and they bumped into Zheng Xin as soon as they entered the study.
Zheng Xin looked at her as if she were a joke: "Oh, you come to my brother as soon as you run into trouble. I would think you are already the mistress of the Zheng family."
Shu Yu didn't say anything and opened the door to go in, but Zheng Xin unexpectedly reminded him: "Shu Yu, what you are doing now is just following my old path."
Be careful not to trip over yourself.
Shu Yu paused for a moment. Everyone knew that Zheng Xin's fame had faded since her comeback, but her public image had been improving day by day.
Zheng Xin began to learn acting, taking on small scripts and starting from small things.
Especially after Zheng Ran stopped giving Zheng Xin resources and instead gave everything she could to Shu Yu, Zheng Xin suddenly realized something.
Relying on others for fame and money will only put you in a passive position forever.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. However, I am different from you."
"You're doomed. Your brother doesn't dare to help you, and you can't find a man to marry and live a glamorous life."
"And even if I fail, I'll still be your sister-in-law in the future."
Zheng Xin seemed to have heard something funny: "My sister-in-law is Shen Qingyue. Even if she goes to jail, it's none of your business."
Her brother cared about his reputation all his life, and taking in the impoverished descendants of the Shen family only brought him a reputation for philanthropy.
"As for marriage, I am the daughter of the Zheng family, and my brother will arrange a marriage with the Gu family member."
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, as if he had some leverage over her: "Oh? Miss Zheng is still thinking about that Actor Gu?"
"It seems the previous hype wasn't fake; it was all Ms. Zheng's doing, with the aim of making everyone misunderstand that you two are a couple?"
Zheng Xin added smugly, "Of course, with your background, marrying my brother? Ha, you'd be more like my brother's mistress."
Zheng Xin walked away disdainfully, passed through the long corridor, and took the elevator back to her room.
Shu Yu pushed open the door unhappily. Thinking of what Zheng Xin had said to her, she wanted to stand up for herself.
"Mr. Zheng." Shu Yu bowed slightly.
Zheng Ran looked at the blog, his eyes falling on Su Qi's clarification post: "She really has the ability to explain the whole dating reality show."
Zheng Ran stroked his chin, revealing a look of newfound respect.
For some reason, seeing how he treated Su Qi, Shu Yu suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Knowing that Zheng Ran wouldn't help her, she felt a little desperate: "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
"and many more."
She turned around, and Zheng Ran's voice suddenly rang out.
"Kill her."
"What?" Shu Yu's eyes widened.
"Isn't this a crime simulation reality show? Hmph, then let's make it real." Zheng Ran's eyes hardened.
She couldn't understand how someone could look at Su Qi with such affection just a moment ago, and then calmly kill that person the next second.
