Qiwei had considered all of this, but he also reminded her, "Tomorrow is the last day. Judging from Shen Ru's appearance, it's impossible for her to come up with the money."
Han Mingrui had obviously thought of this as well.
He was originally considering whether it would be better to sell Shen Ru abroad or to give her to his brothers first and then sell her to the underground city. But now that Shen Ru posted this article and Qi Wei made this phone call, Han Mingrui thought of another possibility.
He pondered for a moment and decided to speak up, hoping that Qiwei could offer him some ideas.
"Do you think Shen Ru is planning to make a move against Jiang Yan?"
Now it was Qiwei's turn to be stunned.
When they went to see Shen Ru a couple of days ago, Shen Ru said that they wanted to deal with Jiang Yan and Qin Yiheng, and that she could help them. Now, do they still want to do that in exchange for some favorable terms?
Moreover, judging from the situation online, Jiang Yan has indeed been dragged into it.
Shen Ru's intentions were quite clear, but she didn't execute them very well...
Qiwei thought about it more and more and felt that this was a possibility, but he still wanted to listen to Han Mingrui, so he asked, "Then what do you mean, Young Master Han..."
Han Mingrui's face showed a look of anticipation, and his voice became much lighter.
"Her timing wasn't just bad, it was absolutely terrible... Qin Yiheng just made headlines online, who would speak up for her now?"
Just look at the chaotic arguments online, and you'll know who cares about Shen Ru or who she is!
"But that's precisely what makes it even more infuriating, isn't it?" Han Mingrui said with interest, finally deciding, "Then let's wait. Tomorrow night is the final deadline, isn't it? What if there's a surprise?"
Reminded by Han Mingrui, Qiwei finally realized what was going on.
Qin Yiheng's apprentice defeated Fang Qian, and with that, his master's reputation spread far and wide. At this crucial moment when he was being praised by everyone, how could such a person possibly make a mistake?
Therefore, the more she failed to achieve her goal, the angrier Shen Ru became.
Such a person is capable of doing anything above his station.
“Hey, isn’t that a bit odd? Young Master Han…” Qiwei suddenly thought of something else.
"Hmm?" Han Mingrui gestured for him to speak if he had any questions.
Qi Wei analyzed, "Qin Yiheng and Jiang Yan do have quite a few fans, and many people who don't take sides also have a good impression of them. However, relatively speaking, they also have quite a few haters. There are definitely many people who want to see them suffer. Perhaps the Chu family is one of them now. Shen Ru may be able to achieve what she wants. What if someone is pushing things along behind the scenes?"
“Yes, that’s why it’s the right thing to do.” Han Mingrui neither agreed nor disagreed.
Qiwei, however, remained somewhat bewildered.
Han Mingrui didn't offer any further explanation, only saying, "Just listen to me, leave it at that for now, and don't do anything."
"Yes," Qiwei replied, and the other end of the phone hung up.
He fell into deep thought, even considering going to ask Luo Jinxiu...
At the same time, Jiang Yan also saw the news online and handed her phone to Qin Yiheng.
"To be honest, during my conversation with Shen Ru today, I felt several times that I might have gone too far, but now it seems it wasn't enough. She still has all sorts of methods, and they're all like this..."
Jiang Yan didn't know how to say it; such a malicious adjective was really hard to come up with under normal circumstances.
However, Qin Yiheng understands her.
“You didn’t do anything wrong. If you want to save her life and prevent her from causing trouble again, this is the worst possible solution.” Qin Yiheng hugged Jiang Yan and kissed her forehead reassuringly.
If you directly help her solve the problem, she will have someone to rely on; if you don't help her, she will harbor resentment.
Let her despair first, then give her hope; it's truly a last resort.
Just like practicing martial arts, one can survive a desperate situation and be reborn like a phoenix.
No destruction, no construction.
Jiang Yan looked out the window, her expression very complicated.
She whispered to Qin Yiheng, "We were best friends after all. Even if we never have any contact again, I don't want her to be humiliated by Qiwei and Han Mingrui, or even sold off as an object... At that point, no matter how much she wants to live, she will die."
The methods that large families use to punish someone are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like them. Shen Ru's current fear is probably less than a tenth of what it truly was.
Jiang Yan's body trembled uncontrollably just thinking about it.
Moreover, Shen Ru is not a truly wicked person; she is just more vain and jealous than the average person.
Prior to this, she had never done anything that would truly harm anyone because of this mindset.
After that, I believe she won't do it again.
"She was unlucky. If Qiwei hadn't approached her, she might have remained an ordinary white-collar worker for the rest of her life. No matter who she married, had children, or anything else, at least she wouldn't have faced such a huge crisis."
Jiang Yan didn't know what else to say; all the enjoyment she was experiencing now was just empty talk.
But that's just how people are; they always fantasize about the good and reject the bad, at any time and from any person.
Qin Yiheng didn't speak, but gently stroked Jiang Yan's hair.
He knew that Jiang Yan had a lot to say and all she needed was a listener, so he only needed to offer a word or two of advice at crucial moments, and that was all.
Such tacit understanding is truly the result of years of practice.
But they both really enjoyed it.
Jiang Yan continued to murmur, "Sometimes I think, if it weren't for the fact that she and I are best friends, Qiwei wouldn't have approached her... Ultimately, it's my fault."
"If you think about so much, you'll exhaust yourself." Qin Yiheng stroked Jiang Yan's hair again with a touch of heartache.
Jiang Yan smiled and gently shook her head.
"It's not that exaggerated."
After saying so much, she felt much better. She picked up the phone, and the two continued looking at it.
Just as Qiwei and Han Mingrui discussed, although Shen Ru's posts generated a lot of buzz, they didn't have a very good effect on public opinion.
I feel like the streamer never wants to leave us, always finding new ways to surprise us.
[That's right, I thought once a streamer terminates their contract, there would be no news for a long time. I didn't expect them to be involved in this kind of thing so quickly. Regardless of my friend's motives, I'm very grateful to her for letting me know more about the streamer's activities.]
It's probably best to avoid such updates; they're not good news and might even cause trouble for the streamer. No news is the best news.
