Chapter 29 29 Using other people’s photos to date online is bad enough, but he also cheated people out of their money…

Ever since Shi Rui joined Zhengfeng, Qin Jixiu hasn't logged into the game again. On the one hand, he felt a little shy and didn't want to be reminded of the past; on the other hand, the revenge on Shi Rui occupied all his energy in his leisure time.

I haven't opened the launcher for a long time, and it took me half an hour to update.

Qin Jixiu thought he wouldn't have any emotional fluctuations, but when he grabbed the mouse and clicked to log in, he realized his palms were full of cold sweat. However, he didn't have time to pay attention to it. His eyes were fixed on the progress bar, and ten thousand possibilities flashed through his mind.

He had built a Pure Yang Helicopter on the original server, and read all the secret books. It was specifically used to study Jian Chun's skills so that he could exchange ideas with Ye Lansheng.

In the past, when he and Ye Lansheng had sparred, neither of them had a life-and-death attitude, it was more like flirting.

Chunyang did not join the gang. At this time, he was standing alone next to the coachman in Guangdu Town, seeming out of place.

Ye Lansheng's ID remained unchanged, only the server suffix was added. After Qin Jixiu added him as a friend, he found that his profile picture was indeed lit.

Pure and pure: [Myself?]

Ye Lansheng@斗转星移: [? ]

Qin Jixiu was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly sent an application to form a team. He didn't have any hope at first, but he was admitted into the team in seconds. There were originally three people in the team. The team leader was Sister Xiu. In addition to Ye Lansheng, there was also Brother Pao. The three of them were in the old Chang'an map.

Ye Lansheng is a PVP warmongerer. He wouldn't be going to sneak into the game with a sesame cake in his pocket. It's likely that he is preparing to queue for JJC.

Sister Xiu asked in the team chat: [Hey, someone ascended to Pure Yang. Is this the new disciple of one of you two?]

Before anyone else could speak, Qin Jixiu sent a message: [Excuse me, I have something to talk to Ye Lansheng about.]

Sister Xiu: [Then Jianchun, you go ahead and do your thing. Brother Pao and I will call someone from the guild to farm the coins.]

Ye Lansheng @斗转星移: [I don't know him, Xiuxiu, just kick him.]

Sister Xiu: [Isn’t this bad? Why don’t you confirm it?]

Qin Jixiu's eyes narrowed when he heard Ye Lansheng's words. He turned on the microphone, sneered, and said, "Ye Lansheng, do you want me to talk to you in front of others? Are you sure?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lansheng left the group, and the speaker came with a fast-paced private chat prompt.

[What do you want?]

[You even created a smurf account specifically to spy on me, right?!]

[We were both consensual before, and I broke up directly. It's been so long, why are you still pestering me? I just want to play a game, can't I?]

[Does this mean I have to quit the game after we're done? Are you being unreasonable?]

Qin Jixiu hadn't said a word before the opponent's defense was broken. However, Ye Lansheng was very bold. After cheating him of such valuable items, he didn't think about changing his account to ensure his safety. He even used his original name to show off in public. He really thought he was a soft persimmon that was easy to take advantage of.

Pure: [Answering the phone.]

Qin Jixiu didn't waste time talking to him and just called him.

Of course the call was not connected, and a female voice came from the phone saying, "The number you dialed is busy, please call again later."

Pure and Pure: [Blacklisted? Release him.]

"Brother, what are you doing? Can't we just part ways amicably? We're no longer together. Please stop contacting me, okay? If every ex kept pestering me like you, wouldn't I be unable to live a normal life?"

Qin Jixiu typed out a few words expressionlessly: [Answer the phone, or call the police.]

The other side suddenly fell silent. Qin Jixiu suspected Ye Lansheng was about to perform a trick on him. He quickly typed out a few more sentences: [200,000 plus Pamela, how many years will you be sentenced to?]

Five seconds later, Ye Lansheng's profile picture dimmed.

At the same time, Qin Jixiu's cell phone lit up.

When Qin Jixiu saw the familiar number calling, he felt as if he was in another world. He picked up the phone and said "Hello".

"Qin Jixiu, are you threatening me?" A burst of angry gasps was heard, and the affection in his words was gone. He was nothing like the confidant he used to be.

The sound coming through the phone would be different from a person's natural voice. Qin Jixiu said calmly, "Do you live at No. 16, Dianchang Road, Fumen Street, Shanglin District, Lincheng?"

The other party was silent for a moment, then his tone suddenly rose. "You sent someone to check on me? You found out where my home is based on just a photo of me? You're invading my privacy! Do the people in your gang know that their leader likes to open accounts for his exes?"

Shi Rui would not falsify his home address when applying for a job, so there is only one possibility: the owner of the portrait really lives at No. 16 Dianchang Road.

Qin Jixiu thought it was ridiculous, so ridiculous that it was laughable, and his solar plexus started to jump.

If Ye Ting and Shi Rui are not the same person, how did Ye Ting get his photo? And why did he use someone else's photo as his profile picture? The delivery address Ye Ting gave him was very close to No. 16 Dianchang Road. Did he know Shi Rui?

"Do you have a younger brother?" Qin Jixiu asked him.

"You also found out about my brother?!"

Hearing the other person's question without hesitation, Qin Jixiu had already made up his mind. He must know Shi Rui. Not only did he use someone else's photo to date online, but he also cheated people out of money and cars. Qin Jixiu felt bad for Shi Rui. Then, thinking about his own recent behavior towards Shi Rui, he felt ashamed for the first time.

It was he who took revenge on an innocent person without investigating the matter thoroughly.

Qin Jixiu held the phone tightly in his hand. He said, "Have you really studied abroad? You were faking the jet lag for more than a year, right?" As he walked towards the living room, he picked up the receiver and dialed a number.

The company distributes uniform work numbers, and only the last four digits are different. Shi Rui’s last number is 1221, which is very easy to remember.

There was a beeping sound from the receiver. Qin Jixiu listened to the sound and his abdomen spasmed nervously for no apparent reason, which was a sign of nervousness.

Before Shi Rui answered the phone, the person on the other end cursed him out in a very uncivilized manner: "What do you mean? I wouldn't lie to you about this, would I? I just dumped you a little too quickly. I'm not a liar, don't put the blame on me. I just dumped you, it's not an unforgivable sin, right? There's no law in the country that stipulates that I must be faithful to you. Isn't it normal for me to like someone else?"

Qin Jixiu's ears hurt from his noise, and at this moment, the sound of a phone being connected suddenly came from his right ear.

"Hello, who is this?"

In contrast, Shi Rui's voice was like sweet spring water.

Qin Jixiu pursed his lips. He could hear his overly active heart beating.

Shi Rui's voice on the phone was 80% similar to Ye Ting's, except for the tone.

Thinking that Qin Jixiu was speechless because of him, Ye Ting was still stubborn: "Don't you think there is something wrong with your values? You lent me the money willingly, and you gave me the car as a gift. Now you regret it, so you come to trouble me, right? I have also heard of men who want things back after breaking up. It's really low. And I tell you, I'm not afraid of you suing me. I have kept all the chat records. You may not win the lawsuit. When the time comes, I will post your expose on the Internet and see whether netizens support you or me. Don't think you are great just because you have some money. Nowadays, netizens are the most anti-rich——"

Qin Jixiu hung up the call with Ye Ting with an expressionless face.

He didn't say anything for a long time. Shi Rui actually waited patiently. Qin Jixiu felt a little tender in his heart, and even his voice into the receiver became softer: "Sorry, I was going to call Xiao Jia. His number ends in 1212, which is very close to yours."

Shi Rui said "Oh".

Qin Jixiu couldn't tell what his mood was. He thought for a moment and said, "I didn't find the mint candy you bought last time in the office. Tomorrow, tell Secretary Jia—"

Shi Rui interrupted him in a gentle voice, "It's in the second drawer on the right side of your desk, next to your favorite pork jerky. There's a lot of stuff in that drawer, so it might be hard to find."

Thinking back on the past, the only thing on Qin Jixiu's lips was "I'm sorry," but he couldn't say it rashly. He couldn't tell Shi Rui that he was deceived by his former online lover who used a fake photo. Oh, and he used your photo.

What's more, words are too simple, and it would be best to give Shi Rui some compensation.

But in the short term, he didn't know what he should do to compensate Shi Rui.

Is there any way to raise Shi Rui's salary to 20,000 without getting noticed? Or should I transfer him back?

Qin Jixiu quickly thought that it was unfair to Shi Rui. He was not a brick that he could do whatever he wanted with. Shi Rui had the right to make his own choices.

"Yeah," Qin Jixiu replied, but couldn't think of a good topic for a moment, so he could only ask with a conflicted expression, "Have you eaten yet?"

On the other end, Shi Rui said in a brisk voice, "I just finished eating. Mr. Qin, have you eaten yet?"

The aroma of shrimp fried rice wafted from the kitchen. His aunt had called him once just now, but he was in the game room, anxiously confronting Ye Ting, and did not go out to eat.

"Eat later."

Shi Rui whispered: "Oh oh."

Qin Jixiu opened his mouth: "You..."

"What?"

Qin Jixiu could show off his language skills in various ways to his subordinates, paint them a rosy picture, and coax them into working hard for him. He had never experienced the moment when he was at a loss for words.

An idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and he changed his tone: "I've forwarded your WeChat to Chi Shuang. His sister wants to talk to you about sculpture. She's a nice girl with a smart mind. I think you two can get along well."

Shi Rui fell silent for a moment.

Qin Jixiu thought he was embarrassed, so he laughed and said in a tone that said, "After work, we're not superiors and subordinates, but friends," "This isn't a work assignment. You don't need to feel burdened. Making more friends isn't a bad thing. The Chi family has a great atmosphere, and parents don't interfere with their children's friendships. Even if things don't develop to the point you'd like, her family will still be able to help you."

Qin Jixiu felt that his arrangement was perfect. Shi Rui drove a second-hand Passat and always claimed that he had no money. His father grew tea in his hometown to make a living. His younger brother seemed to be still in school, and it was time to spend money. It seemed that his family was living in poverty.

He is so outstanding, and it will be beneficial to his future if he has a father-in-law with a strong family background to help him.

"Boss Qin," Shi Rui laughed, "Are you playing matchmaker?"

"You have the same hobbies, and his sister should have plenty to talk about. Plus, she's very lively, which complements your personality perfectly. I think it's a good match. But it also depends on your own ideas. If you really can't get along, don't force it."

Shi Rui flatly refused: "I don't want to."

Qin Jixiu smiled and said, "Why? Don't think that just because I'm trying so hard to match them up, I think the girl isn't pretty. You've seen Chi Shuang too. Both brother and sister are very good-looking, and his sister wouldn't be indistinguishable."

Qin Jixiu thought he was very humorous after he finished speaking, but Shi Rui didn't appreciate it at all and just said, "No need, Mr. Qin, I have someone I like."

Qin Jixiu couldn't tell whether this was the truth or just a lie, but he felt regretful and thought he had to make up for his debt to Shi Rui in other ways. He said, "Okay, but if you regret it, you can tell me anytime."

When Qin Jixiu heard Shi Rui let out a breath, which seemed a bit impatient, he subconsciously frowned. But when he thought about the inhuman treatment Shi Rui had suffered in the past two months since he came to Zhengfeng, Qin Jixiu felt that he deserved it.

Shi Rui said, "Boss Qin, it's getting late. You should eat first."

There was some emotion in these words, but Qin Jixiu didn't mind. He hung up the phone after he responded.

Qin Jixiu loves the shrimp fried rice made by his aunt, but he didn't taste the freshness of the shrimp for the first time. He had too many things on his mind. On the one hand, he wanted someone to find out Ye Ting's background as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he recalled the breath that Shi Rui exhaled.

He couldn't understand why Shi Rui, who was so good-tempered, was unhappy when he clearly meant well and refused so harshly?

Is it because Shi Rui holds a grudge against him because he was transferred to the R&D department without any prior notice?

But at the last banquet hosted by General Assistant Li, Shi Rui was clearly very respectful to him and did not seem to have any complaints.

Qin Jixiu's headache got worse.

Confirming that Ye Ting and Shi Rui were actually two different people gave him a splitting headache. It was all because of his own arrogance. Ye Ting's behavior before breaking up with him was like a typical liar. He actually believed that someone like Ye Ting would use his photo as his profile picture.

A liar will definitely do everything to deceive people.

Why didn't he think of it?

And now when he thought of Ye Ting, Shi Rui's face reflexively appeared in front of his eyes, which almost made him schizophrenic.

Qin Jixiu covered his head, thinking that he should get some sleep as soon as possible. Maybe when he woke up, he would be able to calmly accept this crazy world that had caused his heart to collapse.

Go to sleep, let Ye Ting die first, as for Shi Rui...

He walked into the bedroom and lay down on the bed weakly. He still remembered arranging someone to check all the information of Ye Ting. He threw his mobile phone aside, turned sideways and closed his eyes.

He dreamed of Shi Rui, or rather, everything that happened to Shi Rui after he joined the company flashed through his mind.

He sent a recent graduate to the archives to search through five years' worth of documents, forcing him to memorize all the important information within a few days. He made him run errands, serve tea and water, and work overtime day and night. He hinted to his three female secretaries not to get close to him, deliberately arranging their vacations in turn. He made Shi Rui do the most tiring and heaviest work, picking on him even for unimportant materials. He knew he was short of money but still made him advance money for things, made him run laps as punishment, humiliated him, and unkindly transferred him from the CEO's office...

At three o'clock in the morning, Qin Jixiu opened his eyes in the dark.

He had never felt sorry for anyone in his entire life, but this was the first time he realized that he simply could not face Shi Rui.

Everything he did was an unprovoked disaster for the innocent Shi Rui, but except for the resistance he showed on the phone last night, Shi Rui was always easy to talk to.

Because Shi Rui was so easy to talk to, Qin Jixiu felt that his behavior was even more unforgivable.

Thinking of this, Qin Jixiu became curious about Shi Rui's family. What kind of parents could raise such an excellent, generous, decent and vindictive child? He suggested that Shi Rui's parents publish a book.

Qin Jixiu was a little annoyed again. He kicked the quilt a few times and grabbed the cell phone from the bedside table.

The phone's screen lit up, revealing a frowning, anxious face.

[Have you found it? Send it to me as soon as you wake up. I need to go to Lincheng myself.]
