Chapter 109: How could someone be so ignorant of himself...
Shen Qingye said slowly: "Perhaps you think your plan is successful?"
"From stealing the bracelet Qin Jiayu gave to Zhou Yuanfeng at the beginning, to putting sleeping pills in the roommate's water cup, to kidnapping Qin Jiayu and framing Zhou Yuanfeng, to finally guiding public opinion - you hid behind the scenes, and no one thought that you were the mastermind behind it."
"Even we, when we received the case, were extremely careful, thinking it involved some kind of business war or insider information of a wealthy family, and we were prepared for a long battle." She shook her head, her tone very helpless: "Who knew that the result would be like this."
Ke Zhiwei glanced at her, still showing no emotion, and looked away without any emotion.
Shen Qingye didn't care about his attitude, and just continued to talk to herself: "Are you smart? You are indeed smart. After all, you have never had any conflicts with Zhou Yuanfeng on the surface, and no one has ever thought of you. Even during the police investigation, you inadvertently shifted the focus to Han Songlin, providing us with a 'criminal suspect', successfully delaying the progress of our investigation. Including controlling public opinion later, you didn't show up yourself, but hid behind the scenes and manipulated Xie Shijie to do it - you know him very well, right? So you know that he doesn't like Zhou Yuanfeng, that he has always been an angry young man, and that he can't stand the collusion between power and money? So as long as you give him a bait, he will definitely take the bait."
Ke Zhiwei didn't say anything.
Shen Qingye continued: "It seems that you are indeed a bit smart."
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingchuan snorted and laughed: "He is smart? How smart is he?"
"He thought he had the whole situation under control, but he didn't expect that there was another letter he wrote to Qin Jiayu that had not been processed and was stuck in Qin Jiayu's book; he thought that others could not tell the difference between the completely different notes he wrote with his left hand, but he didn't know that these so-called differences were full of loopholes in the eyes of handwriting experts; he thought that by giving his roommates sleeping pills, he could fake the illusion that he stayed in the dormitory that day, but he didn't expect that Tang Hao had been busy and had no time to clean the water cup for several days, so we easily extracted the residue of alprazolam from it; he thought he was deliberately hiding perfectly behind the scenes, but he didn't know that others also noticed him when he was fishing."
Yue Lingchuan sneered and said, "It's just some clever tricks that are not even worthy of being shown on the stage. You really think you are the one controlling the whole situation behind the scenes."
Ke Zhiwei finally looked up at him, pursed his lips, and his expression was cold.
Yue Lingchuan smiled mockingly and held up two fingers: "Two days, only two days."
"When I first received the case, I thought it was a big deal. I thought I could finally stretch my muscles after being idle for so long. But in just two days, the case was solved so easily."
He shook his head, seeming a little disappointed: "I thought you were very capable, but now it seems that you are just so-so."
His tone was full of contempt, and the look he gave him was condescending and full of disdain.
Ke Zhiwei looked at him and vaguely seemed to see Zhou Yuanfeng, who was just as high-handed and looked down on others.
The corners of his mouth twitched, his voice was gloomy and hoarse: "If I had known earlier, I should have killed her directly. Let's see if you can still be so relaxed now."
Yue Lingchuan leaned back in his chair leisurely, his mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc, and his chin slightly raised: "But you didn't kill her."
Ke Zhiwei's breathing suddenly became rapid.
Shen Qingye smiled and said, "Let me guess, why didn't you kill her? Was it because you were too confident and felt that everything was under control and that the police couldn't find you, so killing her sooner or later made no difference? Or... were you moved by what she said? Did you want to find a sense of identity in her?"
Ke Zhiwei stared at her intently. Shen Qingye seemed to have thought of something and smiled even brighter: "By the way, you don't know yet? Qin Jiayu has told us everything about your conversation."
She shook her head and said word by word: "It's just too ridiculous."
"Do you know what Qin Jiayu told me? She said that she just mentioned it casually at first, and she just wanted to delay some time. I didn't expect you to believe it! You actually believed it?!"
She tilted her head, seeming very confused: "How could someone be so ignorant of themselves?"
"Who is Zhou Yuanfeng? He is the top student in his grade, the student council president, and the class monitor respected by his classmates! He has good looks, height, and even his family background is one of the best. He is a famous figure on campus. Which girl would be willing to give up a boy like him and like you?"
Ke Zhiwei's chest heaved violently, but Shen Qingye pretended not to see it. She seemed to find it extremely absurd and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "She was so frightened at the time that she said a few random words without thinking. Even she herself couldn't convince herself. I didn't expect you to believe it?!"
"I believed her lies that she was with Zhou Yuanfeng just to be closer to you; I believed that she quarreled with Zhou Yuanfeng because she was about to graduate and would never see you again, so she wanted to break up with Zhou Yuanfeng—"
Shen Qingye looked at him and said in a cheerful tone: "It's such a joke."
"I've lived for so many years, and I've never seen anyone as ignorant as you."
Ke Zhiwei finally couldn't help it, his eyes reddened, and he said fiercely: "Shut up!"
Shen Qingye's smile deepened: "Shut up? Why should I shut up? Are you afraid that your ugliness and incompetence will be exposed to others? No wonder you don't want to kill her. After all, if you kill her, who else can open their eyes and say those nonsense to satisfy your extremely pathetic self-esteem and competitiveness!"
Ke Zhiwei slammed the table: "Shut up, shut up!"
"That's not the case, that's not the case!"
Ke Zhiwei struggled to sit up, but in the end he was only restrained by the chair and fell back down hard:
"What's so good about him? What's so good about him? If he didn't have a good family background, how could he compare to me?"
Shen Qingye sneered: "He looks good, has a good personality and good abilities, but in your mouth, that's just a summary of his family background? Well, even if his family background is excluded, you are in the same school, class and even dormitory. This starting point is always fair, right? What's the result? Zhou Yuanfeng is always the first in the grade, how about you? Are you in the top three? Or the top five?"
She scoffed, "Sorry, I looked through your school's transcripts yesterday and I really didn't notice you!"
For someone like Ke Zhiwei, not noticing you guys is the most heartbreaking statement. He shook his head frantically: "No, no, no! The only reason he can get such good grades is because his family is rich, he has money to hire tutors, and he has money to lay the foundation. If he doesn't have these, what's the difference between him and me? No!"
Yue Lingchuan couldn't help but laugh: "People who are better than you are all rich? Then what about those people in front of you? Why, are they all second-generation rich?"
"Attributing others' success to their family background is just an excuse for losers to justify their own incompetence!"
Ke Zhiwei's eyes were bloodshot: "You are talking nonsense!"
Yue Lingchuan pressed on: "Am I talking nonsense? Even if you have Zhou Yuanfeng's family background, can you have as good grades as him? Can you succeed in starting a business like him? Can you manage a class or even the entire student union like him and convince everyone?"
"No one in your class dislikes him. They all praise and approve of him. What about you? Ke Zhiwei, what kind of role do you play in the class?"
"You are jealous that Zhou Yuanfeng is better than you. You don't acknowledge his abilities. You don't even dare to approach a girl yourself. You only dare to write letters, using those harassing and obscene words to reveal your ugly true heart."
Yue Lingchuan looked at him and said disdainfully: "You are just a rat in the gutter, you can't stand the light."
Ke Zhiwei almost went crazy, screaming madly: "I am not! I am not!"
"Zhou Yuanfeng is just pretending. He is just good at winning people's hearts. He is not that good at all!"
His eyes were red, and he had completely lost his mind due to the stimulation. He kept shouting, "It's all because of him, it's all because of him! If it weren't for him, I could also become a class committee member, instead of having his competitor take the position of study committee member! If it weren't for him, I would also have a share of the first-class scholarship! If it weren't for him, Qin Jiayu would also like me!"
He sat on the chair, clenched his teeth tightly, and dug his ten fingernails into his palms tightly, looking dazed, as if he didn't feel any pain at all.
He is not wrong...
He is right!
Before going to college, Ke Zhiwei was the pride of his family, the pride of his class, and even the pride of the entire school.
In that remote and poor area where there might not even be one college student in a year, Ke Zhiwei's excellent grades made him a treasure in the hands of his teachers and the principal. Everyone obeyed him, and the school's resources were all in favor of him. Even his family treated him like a young master and pampered him.
In the end, he lived up to their expectations and was successfully admitted to Pingjiang University of Finance and Economics.
But university life was completely different from what he imagined.
Ke Zhiwei, who was once the center of everyone's attention, became mediocre and ordinary after entering university. The grades he was so proud of were just mediocre in this class.
No one paid attention to him, no one cared about him.
Ke Zhiwei is not used to this kind of life. He is used to being the focus of people and being noticed by everyone. But here, he was too ordinary and had no capital to attract attention.
Although not all of his classmates came from wealthy families, they were much better off than Ke Zhiwei, who came from a poor village. Their graceful manners and natural conversation made Ke Zhiwei feel deeply at a loss.
He had no idea what they were talking about and seemed to have no idea where they were coming from.
He was anxious and tormented and wanted to go back to his high school life, but he had no idea what to do to attract the attention of these "chosen ones".
At this time, the behavior of his roommate caught his attention even more.
Zhou Yuanfeng is a handsome man with a generous personality and a wealthy family. Soon after the start of the school year, he became friends with all the classmates. Whenever he appears, he becomes the focus of everyone's attention, as if everyone has something to say to him.
Ke Zhiwei watched from the side, envious at first, then slowly, slowly, somehow, a dark feeling of jealousy developed.
Why? Why is he the most popular person in the class, and even students from other classes and the teacher like him?
Is it because he comes from a wealthy family? Is it because he is rich?
Ke Zhiwei paid attention to him. Seeing him carefree and worry-free every day, seeing that one piece of clothing he wore could cover his monthly living expenses, and a pair of shoes could even cover his family's annual expenses, seeing that he was laughing all day long and always treating his classmates and roommates to dinner, his mentality became more and more unbalanced.
Why can he be so successful, but he can only live alone, wear the cheapest clothes and eat the cheapest meals?
Ke Zhiwei was unwilling to give up. He followed Zhou Yuanfeng's example and tried to build good relationships with other students in the class. However, they were not as enthusiastic towards him as they were towards Zhou Yuanfeng. He also wanted to run for class committee and have a place in the class. Unfortunately, the girl who competed with Zhou Yuanfeng for the position of class monitor lost, and had to settle for the second best and choose the position of study committee member that he wanted, and he had no choice but to be eliminated; he also wanted to work hard to win the first-class scholarship to reduce the burden on his family, but Zhou Yuanfeng, who obviously had no shortage of money, insisted on competing with him -
Even the girl he finally fell in love with, Zhou Yuanfeng tried to snatch her away.
There are so many people who like him, there are so many good-looking girls, and he can find any girl he wants - why do they have to snatch Qin Jiayu from him?
He didn't dare to expect those girls who were good-looking and had a good family background, so he deliberately chose Qin Jiayu, who had an ordinary family background, ordinary looks, and was ordinary in every way. But why did Zhou Yuanfeng want to compete with him for her?
Years of accumulated hatred made Ke Zhiwei's hatred towards Zhou Yuanfeng even stronger. Even when Zhou Yuanfeng invited him to a high-end restaurant for dinner, he couldn't help but suspect that the other party was looking down on him and deliberately making fun of him; as for the clothes and shoes that the other party usually gave him, he even felt that he was throwing them away to him because he didn't want them and was deliberately humiliating him.
But the conflict finally broke out this year.
