Chapter 152 Live Broadcast Accident
Zhao Chen? !
Is it Zhao Chen? !
He is not even in the Cayman Islands!
He is in Haicheng!
Right at home in Genting Highlands!
Late at night, wearing an apron (zoom in, you can clearly see the adorable Shiba Inu pattern on the apron!)…frying eggs?! Drizzling them with honey?!
The overwhelming sense of absurdity and visual impact, so overwhelming it could blow people’s minds apart, swept through the entire banquet like a nuclear explosion! Everyone felt as if they were under a spell of immobilization!
With her mouth wide open and eyes wide open, she stared in disbelief at the man on the screen who was completely different from the image of a man who "hid from debt in the Cayman Islands" as described by Gu Qianqian, and was full of worldly airs!
The smile on Gu Qianqian's face froze instantly! Like a shattered plaster mask! The champagne glass in her hand fell with a clang, hitting the polished marble floor, splattering golden wine and glass fragments!
The hem of her expensive skirt was instantly stained wet! She trembled violently, her face pale as paper, her eyes filled with extreme horror, disbelief, and overwhelming fear!
"No... Impossible... It's fake... It's fake!" She let out a sharp, ghostly scream, her voice breaking, and pointed at the big screen, her fingers shaking wildly.
"This is a composite! That bitch Yu Ling is responsible! Brother Chen is clearly in Cayman! He and I are clearly..."
Just when Gu Qianqian's hysterical scream resounded throughout the venue!
On the big screen, Zhao Chen in the kitchen seemed to be startled by some noise.
He frowned slightly and turned off the stove with some displeasure. Then, naturally, as if by reflex, he pulled out his cell phone from his trouser pocket.
The phone screen lights up.
An encrypted push message from the "Bankrupt Pancake Man Foundation" was projected onto the big screen in clear, close-up footage! (Clearly, this surveillance system has ridiculously high permissions!)
The message contained only one line of text in a cold font:
"Madam, has the creditor come to collect the interest?"
"Venue: Dinner at the Peninsula Hotel."
"(The live broadcast signal has been hijacked)"
Zhao Chen's eyes, behind his gold-rimmed glasses, instantly turned icy and sharp as he read the message. Like a peerless sword unsheathed! It was a kind of indifference and commanding presence that Gu Qianqian had never seen before, and certainly not one that belonged to a "bankrupt," but rather the indifference and overwhelming control of someone in absolute power.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate the screen, and accurately "looked" in the direction of the dinner scene, looking at Gu Qianqian who was screaming and collapsing!
He parted his lips slightly, his voice low and clear, carrying a hint of displeasure at being interrupted and a chilling coldness. Through the venue's top-notch sound system, it exploded like thunder in the deadly air, and every word clearly struck everyone's eardrums:
“Tsk.”
“The right temperature for frying an egg…”
He paused slightly, his gaze like an icy blade sweeping across Gu Qianqian's face on the screen, which was distorted with fear.
"…scared to death by an idiot."
"The omelette heat... was scared to death by some idiot..."
The deep, clear, and cold male voice, filled with undisguised disdain, was like an ice-hardened steel needle, piercing through the deadly silent air at the dinner party and piercing everyone's eardrums!
idiot?
Who is he talking about?!
Gu Qianqian? !
The huge visual impact and auditory shock were like two overlapping heavy hammers, hitting everyone's cognition hard!
Gu Qianqian seemed to have her soul sucked away in an instant!
The blood drained completely from her face, leaving it as pale as a crumpled piece of cheap rice paper. Her meticulously applied makeup couldn't conceal the abyss of horror and fear in her eyes, as well as the utter humiliation of being stripped naked and skinned in public! She trembled violently and uncontrollably.
"No... no... this isn't true..." she muttered, her voice cracking and hoarse, her eyes vacant and unfocused. She jerked her head up, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Zhao Chen's cold, indifferent face on the big screen, as if looking down at an ant, as if she wanted to devour him alive!
"Zhao Chen! You bastard!!" A shrill, inhuman scream finally broke through her throat, filled with raging resentment and utter madness! She completely lost her socialite demeanor, like a completely mad woman. She grabbed a decorative silver candlestick from the nearby dining table and smashed it against the giant screen!
"Bang--!"
The candlestick hit the hard edge of the screen with a dull sound, bounced to the ground, and left only an insignificant white dot on the screen.
The image on the screen remained motionless.
Zhao Chen didn't even frown. He seemed completely lost in Gu Qianqian's madness. He simply turned his gaze away with indifference. He turned the stove back on, picked up the spatula, and with utmost concentration and care... tried to save the soft-boiled egg that might have been undercooked because of the "idiot's" interference.
On the huge LED screen, the picture was still clearly and steadily broadcasting the scene full of fireworks in the kitchen of Genting Highlands.
Zhao Chen slightly hunched his back and concentrated on adjusting the heat, occasionally using a spatula to gently touch the edge of the fried egg that was tenderly wrapped in honey. His movements were as gentle as if he was treating a rare treasure.
You can hear a pin drop on the entire top floor of the Peninsula Hotel.
Only Gu Qianqian's heavy, desperate breathing, like a worn-out bellows, was particularly piercing in the dead silence. She collapsed to the ground, her expensive skirt soaked in cold champagne and glass shards, her carefully styled hair disheveled, and her expensive "Tears of the Sea" necklace hung askew around her neck, reflecting a cold and ironic light.
She stared blankly at the man on the screen who ignored her and only cared about the quality of his fried egg. The immense humiliation and overwhelming despair finally consumed her completely! She covered her face with her hands and let out a suppressed roar.
No one came forward to comfort her.
No one dared to make a sound.
All eyes were filled with shock, contempt, pity, and a hint of cold ridicule after seeing through the truth.
The "queen" who was the center of attention just now is now like a peacock stripped of its feathers. Facing the cold reality, her ugly appearance is exposed and she is in a miserable state.
Just then—
“Ding Dong!” “Ding Dong!” “Ding Dong!”
Almost every guest's phone at the dinner party started vibrating like crazy at the same time! Push notifications rang out one after another.
The pink-dressed socialite A, who was closest to Gu Qianqian, instinctively pulled out her phone and unlocked it. The moment the screen lit up, her eyes suddenly widened! Her mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg!
Next up, it's socialite B! Then C! D! E...
Like dominoes, expressions of shock spread rapidly through the crowd! Countless eyes shifted away from the distraught Gu Qianqian and stared intently at the phone screens in their hands!
Social media pushes came like a tsunami!
