Chapter 55 This is called walking into a trap.
The more Li Qianqian thought about it, the more feasible the idea seemed.
Perhaps, it really can save her life.
Thinking this, Li Qianqian suddenly stood up from the sofa, sat back down in front of the computer, and her fingers flew across the keyboard.
First, they dug up Jiang Xinlan's photos from her university days, then contacted a photo retoucher they had worked with before, offering 20,000 yuan to have the photos retouched into indecent images, demanding that there be no trace of retouching.
Immediately afterwards, she contacted the head of her online troll team, offering one million yuan to prepare thousands of online troll accounts and hundreds of smear articles, all with headlines maliciously defaming Jiang Xinlan.
Jiang Xinlan, the female lead in "The Wind Rises in Chang'an," allegedly obtained resources by sleeping with wealthy patrons, brought her own investment to the production, and acted arrogantly in public.
"A Deep Dive into Jiang Xinlan's Rise to Power: The Sordid Deals Behind Her Unmarried Pregnancy," and so on.
She even dug up old rumors from six years ago, embellished them with more disgusting details, and planned to spread them all over the internet as soon as the indecent photos came out, to completely ruin Jiang Xinlan's life.
"Jiang Xinlan, if you won't let me have an easy time, I'll definitely not let you have your glory!"
Li Qianqian stared at the computer screen, a twisted smile playing on her lips, her face filled with a desperate, madness.
"Even if I have to go to jail, I'll drag you down with me! I want to see if Shen Yu will still want you, and if the audience will still support you, after all this dirt on you is flying everywhere!"
She thought her desperate move would deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Xinlan before she left, but little did she know that all her plans and actions had been seen through by an invisible pair of eyes.
Ten minutes ago.
Yunjingtai Villa.
Shen Yu sat on the sofa, slowly peeling an orange for Jiang Xinlan and holding it to her lips.
Jiang Xinlan leaned on his shoulder, opened her mouth and took a bite of the orange. The sweet juice melted in her mouth. She turned her head to look at Shen Yu, her eyebrows curving into crescents, with a hint of reproach:
"I'm really fine, you don't need to be so worried. You even peeled the oranges for me."
Although the wire breaking was a close call, she was protected by Shen Yu's jade pendant and ultimately escaped unharmed.
Moreover, since the incident occurred, Shen Yu has stayed by her side every step of the way, leaving her with no lingering gloom, only a deep sense of peace.
"Whether you're scared or not, I'm willing to serve you."
Shen Yu smiled and pinched her cheek, then lowered his head and kissed the corner of her reddened eyes.
"Anyone who dares to mess with me right under my nose must be eradicated completely, otherwise this menace will cause you trouble sooner or later."
After learning that Li Qianqian was the one behind Zhang Lei's scheme, Shen Yu instructed Lu Zongming to continue investigating Li Qianqian's whereabouts.
A moment later, Shen Yu's phone vibrated; it was a call from Lu Zongming.
"Mr. Shen, we've found it!"
On the other end of the phone came Lu Zongming's respectful voice.
"That woman, Li Qianqian, is hiding in a hotel near your villa. She probably stayed nearby on purpose to keep an eye on Miss Xinlan's movements! We also found out that she booked a high-speed train ticket back to Beijing for 8 PM tonight. It seems she's planning to flee overnight!"
Upon hearing this, a knowing glint flashed in Shen Yu's eyes, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
He is currently only at the peak of Qi Refining, and his divine sense has a limited range, covering a radius of up to two kilometers.
If Li Qianqian were hiding on the other side of Jiangcheng, his divine sense would indeed not be able to reach her easily. However, she happened to live near the villa in order to monitor Jiang Xinlan, which meant she fell right into the range of his divine sense.
This is called walking into a trap.
"I know the address."
Shen Yu's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable command.
"Immediately arrange for people to stake out all the hotel exits and find a way to bring her to me. I want to interrogate her personally."
"Yes, Mr. Shen! Don't worry! I guarantee she won't be able to escape!"
Lu Zongming immediately responded, not daring to delay for a moment, and quickly arranged for manpower after hanging up the phone.
Shen Yu hung up the phone, and Jiang Xinlan looked up at him, her eyes questioning.
"Was that Mr. Lu's call? Did he find out where Li Qianqian is?"
"Yes, I found it."
Shen Yu walked back and sat down beside her, pulling her into his arms. His tone instantly softened, not wanting these unpleasant things to affect her mood.
"She's hiding in a hotel near us, planning to run away back to Beijing tonight. Don't worry, I've had all the exits blocked. She can't escape. I'll handle it and make sure she never has another chance to hurt you."
Jiang Xinlan leaned against him, nodded, wrapped her arms around his waist, and whispered:
"I'm not afraid. With you here, I'm not afraid of anything. I just can't understand why she would treat me like this for six years."
"No matter what her motives are, I will settle this score for you."
Shen Yu lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, the tenderness in his eyes fading, leaving only a chilling coldness.
He comforted Jiang Xinlan and asked her to play with the child in the living room, then turned and went into the study on the second floor, closing the door behind him.
In the study, Shen Yu sat behind his desk, his fingertips gently twirling. His peak Qi Refining divine sense instantly spread out, like an invisible net, silently covering the hotel where Li Qianqian was.
With his peak Qi Refining level, his divine sense could easily penetrate the barriers of the mortal world, and in the blink of an eye, he accurately located the hotel room where Li Qianqian was.
Every movement and every word in the room was clearly imprinted in his mind.
In the hotel room, Li Qianqian, her eyes red, was frantically typing on the computer keyboard, cursing through gritted teeth.
"Jiang Xinlan, if you won't let me have a good time, I'll definitely not let you have your glory! Even if I have to go to jail, I'll drag you down with me! I want to see if Shen Yu will still want you after all this dirt is flying around, and if the audience will still support you!"
She thought that her desperate move would deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Xinlan before she left.
Little did she know that all her plans and actions had been seen through by an invisible pair of eyes.
Sitting in his study, Shen Yu could clearly see all her actions, from contacting photo retouchers to fabricating indecent photos to contacting online troll leaders to prepare smear campaigns across the internet.
As he watched this scene, Shen Yu's eyes grew colder and colder.
With a thought, a wisp of almost imperceptible divine power instantly crossed a distance of a thousand meters and landed on Li Qianqian's computer and mobile phone.
