Chapter 182-Awakening
Chapter 182-Awakening
Su Qi fastened her seatbelt and found that only she and Shen Chaohuai were in the car: "Where's the driver?"
"Let's go back." Shen Chaohuai's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "Can you please not get distracted?"
Su Qi: "..."
Why did you want to come with me?
"Didn't I already say it's for your personal safety?"
"Nothing will happen to me."
"No, it's highly likely." Shen Chaohuai paused for a moment: "You think that woman doesn't know you exist?"
"For you, he broke up with that woman and dealt with the scandals he had ignored for seven years."
"She knows the reason perfectly well."
"If she could do such heinous things to him, she would probably want to tear you apart."
Su Qi was shocked for a moment: "How did you know..."
“I’ve always known.” His dim eyes suddenly gleamed.
I also know that he truly loves you.
"then you……"
Shen Chaohuai slowly started the car, smiling and shaking his head: "If he's not sincere towards you, but just wants to use you to escape his previous predicament, or to use you for publicity, I would destroy him instead."
"I will absolutely not allow anyone to hurt you."
Su Qi crossed her arms, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with his remarks.
The 3188th has arrived.
This place is a five-story apartment building.
A few years ago, the apartment building belonged to the Rong family for rent collection. However, the Rong family's power declined, and the building was never used for rent again.
"This woman actually hid here and is living here?"
"After all, her behavior cannot withstand exposure. Gu Xing's fans have already exposed the address of the Rong family villa. It's just a pity that there is no opportunity for a joint exposure."
Su Qi suddenly thought of something: "Then we can team up with his fans..."
"His fans don't like you."
"That……"
“His fans dislike me even more.”
Su Qi looked puzzled.
[Um, Master, he means that Gu Xingwei's fans dislike you, while the CP fans think he's a "third party."]
It's tough being a celebrity; is this their fate? No matter what they do, they'll be disliked.
“Actually, you just need to truthfully expose the truth using your personal account.” Shen Chaohuai handed her a small video recorder.
"Click here to record automatically, and connect to your blog for live streaming."
"Don't be afraid of affecting your personal reputation. On the contrary, having come this far, you can't shirk any of the responsibilities that need to be done."
"The paparazzi are all watching from behind."
Su Qi understood Shen Chaohuai's meaning, took the things and nodded slightly: "Actually, I..."
"Shh—" Shen Chaohuai gestured with his eyes. How could he not know that she had the ability to record videos? However, he wanted her behavior to be more reasonable and withstand scrutiny from the entire internet, as a way of protecting her.
"Go inside, I'm downstairs."
"I can see your live stream, and if there is any danger, I will appear immediately."
When his hand rested on her shoulder, she felt an immense sense of security, and a surge of warmth welled up in her heart.
Su Qi started live streaming on her personal blog.
The entire internet is curious about what happened.
Why did he suddenly start live streaming, and it was him, no less!
What's going on? Is it actually the person using the account?
Look, who is this woman...?
The door opened, and from the top floor, a fat woman wearing slippers walked out, cursing and swearing, and leaned against the door: "Who is it?"
"It's me, Su Qi."
Yi Ling stared at her with wide eyes: "It's you?! It was you! You're the one who bewitched Gu Xing!"
Su Qi raised an eyebrow. The abnormal footage appeared on the blog, attracting tens of millions of views and its popularity was still rising.
Some of Gu Xing's fans recognized the woman and cried in the comments section of the live stream.
It was her...she ruined Gu Xing's life...
Is there another reason behind Gu Yingdi's downfall?
[Damn, I knew I shouldn't take sides too early; things are about to turn around.]
Yi Ling reached out and grabbed Su Qi's neck: "Why...why would he do so much for you? He just wants to use you as a stepping stone to escape my control! He doesn't love you!"
"Then he could never love you. You're a sadistic murderer!"
Su Qi's words angered Yi Ling, causing Yi Ling to reveal what she had done to Gu Xing in front of the live stream.
The content was deemed too inappropriate for children, and the live stream was banned.
[Holy crap? Is this true?]
[What are you standing there for? Call the police right now! Do you want Su Qi to be the one who falls for that woman?]
Shen Chaohuai hurried upstairs, and the paparazzi who had been following behind him also arrived: "Shall I help?"
Shen Chaohuai nodded.
Gu Xing's fans had already recorded Yi Ling's confessions of crime. This was the only time that the entire internet was surprisingly united in helping her, regardless of their identities or stances.
The sounds of fighting inside grew clearer as Shen Chaohuai called her name as he entered.
A knife was held to her neck, and blood gushed from her head.
The paparazzi's camera, which was slightly shaky, inadvertently captured this scene: her head was hit by a shard of flowerpot, leaving a hole.
But she didn't say a word.
Shen Chaohuai pushed Yi Ling away, and with great heartache, he cupped her face in his arms and looked at her, tears streaming down his face.
She only felt relieved and fell into a coma when she saw him appear.
Meanwhile, the police, who were called by netizens, have arrived at the scene.
Because location tracking was enabled during the live stream, the police operation proceeded more smoothly.
Yi Ling was first taken to the detention center to await interrogation, while Su Qi was sent to the hospital.
Upon hearing the news, Lynn rushed to the hospital: "My goodness, she's being verbally abused to death by her fans."
Su Qi's fans couldn't bear to see her injured, so they sent their complaints to the company's email inbox.
She had just finished bandaging her head and regained her senses: "What's the panic?"
Shen Chaohuai was sitting to the side handling some business when Lynn immediately started scolding him: "You too! How could you let her do such a dangerous thing?!"
He looked up: "What's the panic?"
Su Qi almost choked on her water when she heard his answer.
Who was it that cried so much when they saw she was injured?
"About Yi Ling..."
Shen Chaohuai tapped on the laptop keyboard: "Don't worry, leave it to me. She won't get away with her crimes."
"The truth behind Gu Xing has finally been revealed."
After agreeing to let Gu Xing enter the entertainment industry, Yi Ling personally orchestrated various scandals for him, shaping him into a playboy so that no woman would dare to approach him.
This woman's desire for control was stronger than she imagined.
Later, Zheng Xin appeared and partnered with Gu Xing for marketing purposes. Yi Ling secretly tried to destroy Zheng Xin's reputation, but unfortunately, Zheng Xin was backed by the Zheng family, so the plan had to be abandoned halfway through.
Then came Su Qi...
However, from this point on, Gu Xing was no longer under control.
Su Qi understood Gu Xing; it was precisely because he was freed from Yi Ling's control that he dared to express his feelings to her.
She reappeared before Gu Xing: "I'm sorry."
Gu Xing looked at the strip of cloth on her head and wanted to reach out, but found that her hands and feet were bound by shackles.
He shook his head.
After hearing the man outside explain the reason for Su Qi's injury, Gu Xing finally couldn't hold back his tears and moved closer to her.
He leaned on her shoulder: "My sister said you're not a good person, that you're the one who brought me here..."
"But after so many days, I've thought a lot about it. I blame myself for not handling the past properly to prevent future troubles, and I blame myself for not having a firm will."
"It's my fault for caring too much about the past..."
"Whatever happened in the past is in the past. I should... I should cherish the present."
Su Qi was somewhat moved; when she lost her past, she suddenly longed to find it again.
Only now, after hearing his words, has she come to her senses.
"Yes, you're right. We should cherish what we have now."
A smile appeared on Gu Xing's gloomy face: "Mm."
Shen Chaohuai walked in: "Are you done talking?"
Su Qi stood up: "I'm leaving."
Gu Xing snorted, but ultimately didn't utter the thousand words he wanted to say.
The man next to her was a better match for her than him.
He knew he had lost completely.
