She was free now, but without Gong Ou, she wouldn't be able to hear any content in Mu Qianchu's recording.
Shi Xiaonian stood there dejectedly, looking at the time.
Wait minute, she could ask again when she calls Gong Ou. But with Gong Ou's suspicious personality, he would definitely ask why.
She realised that her feelings for Gong Ou were really complicated. Just as she was thinking, her phone suddenly vibrated.
She took out her phone, and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Shi Xiaonian picked up the phone, "Hello?"
"It's me." Mu Qianchu's gentle voice sounded beside her ear.
Mu Qianchu's number.
The scene from the day at the hotel once again appeared before Shi Xiaonian's eyes. She lowered her head to look at her own hand, and during the day, Mu Qianchu had held this hand twice.
"What's the matter?" she asked into her cell phone, cursing herself for being stupid.
What else could Mu Qianchu want to talk to her about? He only wanted to hear the content and take out his phone, but she still asked.
Sure enough, Mu Qianchu giggled gently, "What else can I do? That phone is something that I commonly use, I have a few calls to make, is it convenient to take it out for me? I'm at the main elevator in Building A."
"Oh, okay." Shi Xiaonian said as she opened her backpack and took out Mu Qianchu's mobile phone. Her gaze swept past the three screens, and a thought suddenly popped into her head, she immediately asked, "Mu Qianchu, do you know anything about computer programs?"
-----
Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.
Shi Xiaonian ran to open the door. Mu Qianchu was standing outside, dressed in casual attire. He looked as young as a university student.
Compared to the time when he was sick during the day, his complexion was much more normal.
"Come in."
Shi Xiaonian opened up a path.
"Yes."
Mu Qianchu lowered his head and raised his foot, walking in. His gaze landed on a pair of male slippers, which were obviously a couple compared to the one's on Shi Xiaonian's feet. His gaze couldn't help but darken.
Why did he agree to enter this house? It was as if he had stabbed himself twice.
Shi Xiaonian followed his line of sight and looked over, thinking that he would need to change her slippers, "There's no need to change your shoes, just come in."
Usually, no one would come in or out of the place, only her, Gong Ou and Feng De's slippers.
The bodyguards wouldn't come in.
Therefore, there were no shoes for the guests to take off.
"Is it convenient for me to just come in?" Mu Qianchu asked, raising his eyes to look, the light in his eyes continuously dimmed.
This was the place where Shi Xiaonian and Gong Ou lived together.
His hand, which hung at his side, was clenched into a fist.
"You're just here to help me with my computer. What's so inconvenient about it?" Shi Xiaonian said frankly, with a glint of sincerity in his eyes.
Now that Gong Ou had gone to England, she anxiously wanted to hear the contents of the secret conversation between Shi Di and himself.
"Alright."
Mu Qianchu nodded and walked inside.
Just to get a computer? Did she take him to be something like a computer hacker?
She didn't feel the least bit uncomfortable inviting him in in the house she lived with another man in.
Or could it be that in her heart, he, Mu Qianchu, was already completely unsensitive?
Shi Xiaonian invited Mu Qianchu into the study room, pointed at the computer and said, "It's here, I don't know how to connect the content of your phone to this computer. I remember Gong Ou worked pretty quickly, but I don't remember how."
"Let me try."
Mu Qianchu said.
"Alright, then you take your time. I'll go get you a glass of water."
Shi Xiaonian said as she turned and walked out.
Mu Qianchu stood there and turned to look at the study room.
Other than the high-tech equipment, there were Shi Xiaonian's shadows in the study, the white tables and chairs, the pastel walls, a tall pile of drawings on the table, and a closed laptop.
It was in such an environment that she was now creating a comic book.
She was working on her favourite career with another man. His heart ached.
"The water is coming." Shi Xiaonian walked in while carrying a cup of water, and politely placed it to the side as she anxiously asked, "How is it, do you know how to?"
"No problem."
He didn't know how to program the virus, but it was okay to connect the computers.
Mu Qianchu inserted the silver shield into the computer and started tapping on the keyboard.
Shi Xiaonian stood at the side, the way Mu Qianchu and Gong Ou tapped their keyboard was very different. Gong Ou fought very quickly, Mu Qianchu was not hurried at all, he was extremely graceful.
After knocking on the keyboard for a while, Mu Qianchu said, "It's done."
It had to be said that Gong Ou had an extraordinary innate skill in the field of science and technology. Listening to a program can be so perfect.
"Really?" Shi Xiaonian was overjoyed, and immediately went forward, "Click on it to listen."
The contents of the painstakingly secret conversation between Shi Di and Tang Yi must be really explosive.
Mu Qianchu watched as she moved closer, his clothes brushing against his fingers. The tip of her finger felt numb and itchy, and the light in his eyes grew deeper.
The recording started with Mu Qianchu asking the waiter for help while the two of them conversed.
Shi Xiaonian listened and looked at the time.
"You're in a hurry?" Mu Qianchu noticed her little movements.
"No, I have to call Gong Ou." Shi Xiaonian blurted out.
If she did not take the initiative to make a call, Gong Ou would definitely be extremely furious.
With that, Mu Qianchu's face stiffened, and said without batting an eyelid, "So the relationship between you and him was actually so good."
Hearing that, Shi Xiaonian became embarrassed.
Everyone knew the difference between her and Gong Ou, everyone knew how many female groups Gong Ou had. It was impossible for her to be any kind of true girlfriend, and saying that this kind of relationship was good was simply a kind of ridicule for her.
She didn't answer, only smiled in embarrassment. "Sit down and listen."
Shi Xiaonian pulled two chairs over and sat down on one of them, staring straight at the computer.
Mu Qianchu drank a mouthful of water and sat down beside her. He leaned his body forward slightly and looked down at her slippers, silently listening to the sounds coming from the computer.
After a while, the sound of the door closing came from the computer.
It was during the daytime, when the waiter had left and successfully placed the phone into Shi Di's room without anyone noticing.
After a few seconds of silence.
"I can at most give you another 3 million, take the money and leave the country, don't come back." Shi Di's scornful voice sounded out from the computer.
Shi Xiaonian listened.
Shi Di wanted to give Tang Yi money, to leave the country? Why?
"3 million? I'm so worthless?" Tang Yi's cold laugh came out, "I told you, the reason Shi Xiaonian is following Gong Ou right now is because of what happened three years ago."
Shi Xiaonian sat on the chair and couldn't help but clench her lips.
The truth she wanted to know, she thought, would soon be revealed.
"So what?" Shi Di asked coldly.
"How is it? If I expose this whole matter, what kind of fate do you think you can get from Gong Ou?" Tang Yi laughed and said, "Moreover, you are now the princess consort of the Mu Family, once this matter is exposed, the Mu Family might not even be willing to have a young mistress with such a scheming mind, right?
It was very obvious that Tang Yi was extorting Shi Di.
The Tang Yi who was once so strong, was actually extorting others. If she had not heard it with her own ears, Shi Xiaonian would never believe that Tang Yi would use such a tone to speak.
"You think people will believe what you say?" Shi Di said in disdain.
"I dare to say that, of course it means I have evidence. Do you really think I can't hold on to the evidence every time you are so careful not to let me bring a communication device?" Tang Yi said slowly, "You are smart, I am not stupid."
Hearing that, Shi Di paused, and then tried to probe her: "What kind of evidence do you have?"
"Of course it's how you first let me lure Shi Xiaonian onto the ship, and how you enchanted her. The drug put her in a coma, and in the end testified that she disappeared for an hour." Tang Yi said.
Shi Xiaonian listened in a daze.
At this point, she stood up, her eyes filled with shock.
Although she had already guessed it, she was still shocked when the truth was laid out in front of her.
Enchanting drugs.
It turned out that her being uncomfortable on the cruise three years ago was not by chance, but because she was addicted to the drugs. Medicine, and all of this. Shi Di was the mastermind, and helped by Tang Yi.
Mu Qianchu sat at the side, a trace of astonishment in his eyes. Without Shi Xiaonian's excitement, her feminine face had no expression.
Shi Di's unhappy voice came from the computer, "Tang Yi, is it not enough for you to threaten me for so many years? In the past, your heart was bigger than mine. I just wanted Shi Xiaonian to be infamous, you just have to drug him a little and arrange for President Qin to go there. But you? You set your sights on a great figure like Gong Ou, and messed up everything. Until now, three years later, you can't even resolve the matter. "
Shi Xiaonian's face immediately turned pale white.
Originally, Shi Di's first method was on the cruise ship, to make people infatuated with her. Rape her.
President Qin? When Shi Xiaonian recalled it again, she remembered that there was such a man, an old man who was in his sixties. He had once met her at a banquet at the time when he was looking at her lecherously all night long.
Shi Di had even laughed at her at that time that she could marry into a rich family.
Her little sister had actually found someone to seduce her.
Mu Qianchu sat there, holding the cup tightly, his eyes revealed indifference.
Three years ago, Shi Di was preparing to have someone secretly hurt Shi Xiaonian.
Shi Di had a whole new level of respect for him.
In the quiet room, a man and a woman sat and listened to the sounds coming from the computer.
Shi Xiaonian was trying to hold back tears. Her own family wanted her to be raped.
There was a moment of silence from the computer, then Tang Yi replied, "There are so many important figures on the cruise, I just want to try my luck."
"Try your luck?" Shi Di taunted, "The luck you wanted was to drug Gong Ou and climb onto his bed to climb up the ladder, but in the end, you even forgot to point the way for President Qin. You ruined everything for your own selfish interest."
"In the end, not only did you not fly onto the branch overnight, you also heard that Gong Ou said that he wanted to kill you before settling the score." Shi Di laughed at her. "I have really never seen such a foolish Gold Reverence Daughter like you, wrapping yourself up into so many holy stupid situations, even in the end Gong Ou didn't fall into your hands. Instead he chose Shi Xiaonian."
Tang Yi immediately retorted back, "Then wouldn't I have to make up for it? Even if I do not take your money, for me to place the blame of the crime on Shi Xiaonian, she would be infamous as well. If I fall she must come with me."
