Jiang Li's words shocked everyone once again.
What kind of ridiculous plot is this?
Is this fake?
[I...suddenly I don't know what to say.]
Looking at Xue Ling's expression, it didn't seem fake at all.
Is this just hype? Or a publicity stunt?
[Your show uses murder as a publicity stunt? Are you out of your mind?]
[Regardless of whether this is true or not, it's really low of Jiang Li to say it in public like that.]
[Are you alright? Xue Ling herself asked Jiang Li to say it. What? Now that you're telling the truth, Xue Ling's fans are attacking Jiang Li again?]
This is probably because some people don't believe Jiang Li can predict her entire life.
So this is also called, "You reap what you sow?"
[If you know perfectly well that Jiang Li is not someone to mess with, why do you always go and provoke her?]
[Perhaps it's because it hasn't happened to me that I always feel like it's not real?]
[...]
"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Xue Ling's eyes widened in terror as she shouted, "Don't you dare make false accusations! I didn't!"
"No?" Jiang Li's expression was indifferent, her tone flat. "Why are you so agitated? Are you feeling guilty? Or are you afraid?"
"Don't you know that it takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them?" Xue Ling shouted angrily, her eyes blazing with fury. "This is a live broadcast, with so many viewers. Even if I clarify, there will still be people who take things out of context and use your words to smear me! You're ruining me, do you know that?"
"Tsk tsk..." Jiang Li chuckled and sighed, "So, what you're afraid of is being framed? But if what I said is true, you'll be arrested by the police. If you're not arrested, doesn't that prove your innocence?"
Xue Ling: "..."
“Your life is actually quite remarkable, and it does serve as a cautionary tale for others.” Jiang Li shrugged, then slowly asked, “Do you need me to continue?”
"What you're saying is all lies! It's all lies!!!" Xue Ling shouted. "Since it's all lies, do you think there's any point in saying it?"
“I think so,” Jiang Li said seriously.
Xue Ling tried to stop Jiang Li from continuing.
The other guests present were already feeling a chill run down their spines.
What kind of people and what kind of things did they encounter in each of these trips...?
Alarms are triggered every time...
Has this really become an ironclad rule of the show?
It's so absurd it's unbelievable.
The director looked at Xue Ling, then at Jiang Li, before turning back to Xue Ling and saying, "Ms. Xue, Jiang Li is just stating what she observed. Even if it's inaccurate, just let her finish speaking. Once she's done, you can point out where she's wrong. It won't take any time."
Xue Ling opened her mouth, but before she could say anything in rebuttal, she heard Jiang Li's next words.
"You accidentally killed that person, and your mother saw it. In a panic, she took the blame for you and went to jail," Jiang Li said slowly. "I must say, your mother still loves you. It's just a pity that you resented her because of her remarriage. She went to jail for you, but you didn't feel the slightest remorse. You even took it for granted and thought it was what she should do..."
Jiang Li had only calculated some of the things Xue Ling had experienced, but she couldn't see anything in the details.
These were merely the results of her slight embellishment of Xue Ling's personality, made to make the story sound more complete.
But look at Xue Ling's eyes...
Jiang Li knew it...
The results of my own processing just filled in the gaps in the facts.
"When you were a teenager, you lost your parents and wandered through society, encountering all sorts of people, and eventually fell into depravity," Jiang Li said, sighing with emotion.
"Degenerate and fallen into depravity?" Xue Ling seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. She questioned, "If I were like you, how could I have the abilities I have now? How could I be participating in this program? Don't be ridiculous!"
"You stumbled into an organization by accident, and through an unexpected opportunity, you caught the eye of their superiors, and so... your life took a different turn." Jiang Li continued unhurriedly, "They trained you in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, turning you into a tool to serve high-ranking officials and nobles. It may seem glamorous, but only you know the true feelings behind it, right?"
Xue Ling's body trembled again.
Impossible...
How could she know so much?
How could that be...
She must have had someone investigate her.
It must be!
"I don't know what you're talking about." Though she was filled with fear and unease, Xue Ling vehemently denied Jiang Li's words.
She couldn't admit it.
Just admit it and that's it.
“If I’m not mistaken, because of some accident, your most prized tool has been disfigured…” Jiang Li stared at Xue Ling’s face, her expression becoming increasingly sharp. “It must have been very painful when you were having facial reconstruction surgery, right? It’s just a pity… the injury was so severe that no matter how much you recover, you can never go back to the way you were before. So you had to have multiple plastic surgeries to change your appearance, but because of this, you have gained another kind of life.”
Xue Ling didn't speak, but clenched her fists.
"The face change happened when you were twenty-five," Jiang Li dropped another bombshell. "Because your organization started a new business, you, with your altered appearance, took the lead and became one of the first to swindle and deceive. A swindler is a swindler. Do you think you can deceive others and yourself forever?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Xue Ling screamed again. "I can sue you for defamation for slandering people like this without any consequences!"
"Hmm." Jiang Li raised her chin and said indifferently, "Fine, go ahead and sue. It's perfect. We can expose everything you've done to the world and destroy the hideout behind you. A thirty-year-old man pretending to be a twenty-three-year-old girl, aren't you ashamed?"
Holy crap...wow...all I can say is holy crap...
Is it fake? Is it really fake? How could it possibly be real?
This is some serious bombshell news!
No wonder Jiang Li treated Xue Ling coldly; it wasn't just because of her bad character...
You actually believe Jiang Li's words? Can you even trust what Jiang Li says?
Those who believe in Jiang Li will gain eternal life.
[Upstairs, that's a bit of an exaggeration, that's gone too far...]
So what Jiang Li said before, that he was a full twelve years older than her, was actually true...
[Jiang Li was eighteen, and she was thirty—a full cycle apart, wasn't it? So, back then, Jiang Li had already seen through her entire life…]
[...]
"I'm clearly only twenty-three years old this year! Jiang Li, stop making baseless accusations!" Xue Ling was trembling with anger. "Your behavior has seriously affected me. Let me tell you, I..."
“Okay, then call the police.” Jiang Li slowly interrupted Xue Ling. “I’ll wait.”
Xue Ling: "..."
The harsh words he wanted to say were instantly choked back down.
