Chapter 106 The Revenge Squad

"No. Ziyan rescued me quickly. I'm fine." Jiang Luo took Lin Shuang's hand and comforted her.

Getting back to business: "After talking with Gao Ming and Lin Wan, I've deduced some things. You are...?"

Swallowing hard, Jiang Luo carefully examined her and asked, "Are there some photos and videos in Fu Jing's hands?"

Lin Shuang lowered her eyelids. "Yes." When she looked up again, her face brightened. "Actually, I've already told Ji Bei. We've decided to call the police."

ah……

Jiang Luo was overjoyed.

Lin Shuang's decision to call the police shows that she has the courage to step out of this shadow.

Soon, Jiang Luo realized something else: didn't this also mean... she had been pushed around for nothing...?

“So,” Lin Shuang said, her shoulders slumping and her face relaxed, “it’s alright, there’s no need to carry them on your back.”

She opened the study door, took Jiang Luo's hand, and walked outside in the soft sunlight. "Let's talk."

The four of them sat together at the dining table.

Everyone pieced together the existing information and shared their opinions.

The four talked for an hour and finally reached a consensus, discussing a perfect solution.

At the end, Jiang Luo raised her glass: "Congratulations on the official formation of our revenge squad!"

The four cups clinked together, making a crisp sound.

The shimmering light skimmed across the water, reflecting the smiling faces of the four people.

Jiang Luo still does not advocate violence in response to violence, but occasionally, one can try to use offense as defense.

-

At the Heartbeat Cottage, dinner was a hot pot meal, where eight guests gathered together.

Shi Yan: "Let's celebrate another wonderful day."

Tao Le: "Cheers!"

Qin Ning: "Cheers!"

...

Ever since she learned that He Ziyan had taken Jiang Luo to Lin Wan's birthday party, Xu Lu had been listless.

She knew perfectly well what it meant to bring a female companion to a banquet.

This is tantamount to announcing their relationship.

She originally thought that He Ziyan was just temporarily infatuated.

Jiang Luo is, after all, a female celebrity, and she is indeed quite good-looking, so it's normal for her to be tempted.

He Ziyan actually took Jiang Luo to the banquet.

This is the first time in many years that He Ziyan has brought a female companion to a banquet.

She suddenly realized that perhaps she was no match for Jiang Luo.

Xu Lu also tried to ask Zheng Man for help, but when talking about other things, Zheng Man would actively engage in conversation with her. However, whenever the topic of love came up, Zheng Man would dodge the question and, at the end of the conversation, would give her a limited edition bag.

Zheng Man made her meaning very clear: as an aunt, she could be nice to Xu Lu, but as He Ziyan's mother, she would not force her son to give up his crush just because she liked Xu Lu.

He Ziyan wasn't interested in her, and Zheng Man didn't support her either. Having lost all chance of winning, Xu Lu lost interest.

No one, not even her brother Ziyan, could make her stand against the whole world.

"Ding-dong."

A message came in.

Fu Jing's phone vibrated in his pants. He took it out and saw it was Lin Shuang.

The money has been transferred?

He lowered his eyes, excitedly clicked in, and then his smile froze.

Lin Shuang: [I've come to terms with it. It doesn't matter where you post the photos and videos; I'm not paying you anymore.]

Frowning, Fu Jing immediately stood up.

Jiang Luo looked at him, her voice tinged with confusion, "Fu Jing, are you done eating?"

Fu Jing feigned composure and smiled, "I'm going to make a work call. You guys continue eating."

Jiang Luo: "Oh."

The plan is being implemented smoothly.

Just as she was about to smile, she met a death stare from diagonally opposite her.

Xu Lu had been staring at her all night.

Jiang Luo: ...

He quickly lowered his face and said, "Let's eat."

"Luo Luo, try some shrimp paste." As luck would have it, He Ziyan picked up a piece of shrimp paste for her.

The sense of death in that death stare was even more intense.

Jiang Luo buried her face even lower, wishing she could disappear into the bowl.

Fu Jing hurried through the living room and headed straight outside.

He turned off the microphone, walked a few steps away, found a quiet spot by the roadside, and dialed Lin Shuang's number.

The call was answered quickly.

"It's very clear in the message," Lin Shuang said calmly.

Fu Jing was furious: "What do you mean? You clearly promised to give me the money!"

"Four years ago, when I accepted your advances, you even told me you'd had a crush on me for a long time. Just playing dumb, you've really mastered that, haven't you? Ha." Lin Shuang sneered.

After a few days of no contact, Lin Shuang's tone was quite different from before. She had been somewhat timid and left him to deal with things, but now she seemed fearless and reckless.

Fu Jing frowned and threatened, "Then I can't guarantee where those photos and videos will end up."

"Okay." Lin Shuang was impervious to swords and spears. "Go ahead and send it. Send it wherever you want."

"Lin Shuang! You'll see that plan too!"

“Yes, I’ve already told him. And,” Lin Shuang said dismissively, “he’s already seen my body.”

Fu Jing found it hard to believe that Lin Shuang could say such a thing.

The Lin Shuang he knew was so unfamiliar that it frightened him.

"Lin Shuang, you'll regret this!" he roared bitterly.

He couldn't think of any other harsh words besides curses.

"Maybe," Lin Shuang said again. "Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up now."

"Shuang'er," Fu Jing's tone softened suddenly as he heard that he was about to hang up, his expression changing drastically. "Shuang'er, I know it was my fault, but I really am facing a problem right now. Please help me. For the sake of our past relationship, as long as you pay me, I will delete those things immediately and I will never ask you for them again. We can discuss the price further."

Lin Shuang scoffed, "You're quite the opportunist."

After saying that, she decisively hung up the phone, not wanting to have any further contact with Fu Jing.

As the wind swept by, Fu Jing, standing alone by the roadside, kicked the wildflowers in front of him and then spat viciously.

After standing there for a while, he found another number in his contacts and dialed it.

"What are you doing?" It was a woman's voice.

Fu Jing: "Lin Shuang won't give me the money. You give it to me."

"On what grounds?"

"I urgently need money right now, and one of you has to pay for it."

"Ask Gao Ming for it."

"After Gao Ming found out that I was in contact with Lin Shuang, she cut off my financial support and even stopped giving me the cards! You were the one who orchestrated this whole thing! Now you have to do something about it whether you want to or not!"

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm currently preoccupied with my own problems; my account has been frozen."

"Who the hell can I turn to?"

"Lin Shuang's friends, like Ji Bei and Jiang Luo, she may not care, but do you think those self-proclaimed heroes will not care?"

Yes.

Even if Lin Shuang is at peace with herself, those who care about her will certainly not want to see her suffer an irreparable fate.

"Understood," Fu Jing said in a deep voice.

Holding his phone, he fell into deep thought.

The primary target is naturally Jibei.

However, Lin Shuang said that she had already confessed to Ji Bei. If Ji Bei received his message, he would definitely still discuss it with Lin Shuang, and the final result would certainly not be any different from what it is now.

In that case... Jiang Luo is a good choice.

Jiang Luo is also a woman, so she should understand the seriousness of this matter even better.

If she and Lin Shuang are truly good friends, she will definitely consider Lin Shuang's feelings.

Besides, she's a celebrity, she must be rich. Everyone says that celebrities can earn over two million a day.

For Jiang Luo, 30 million is probably just half a month's income.

However, it's unclear just how good Lin Shuang and Jiang Luo's relationship is, and whether Jiang Luo would actually be willing to pay this amount for Lin Shuang.

With this in mind, Fu Jing returned to the small house.
