Chapter 77

Xie Yang shut up and quietly served as a human pillow for Qiu Xing, while continuing to refresh his Weibo page without giving up.

A few minutes later, Weibo finally responded and the hot search list was no longer stuck. Xie Yang was satisfied and was about to enjoy the melon when the person who was holding him suddenly moved away. Before leaving, he straightened his body like he was holding a doll, then sat down at least one meter away from him, and picked up the water cup on the small table to drink water in an apparent attempt to cover up his mistake.

“…”

Xie Yang looked at Feng Qinglin who came out of the small living room, and said to Qiu Xing: "That glass of water is mine."

"...Cough." Qiu Xing almost choked. He gave Jie Yang a warning look, then looked at Feng Qinglin who came out of the small living room and asked, "Why did you come out? Where's your grandma?"

Feng Qinglin's eyes were red, probably because he had cried before. His brows were furrowed and his tone was a little helpless. He said, "Uncle, there's something wrong with grandma. She ignored me and only called your name."

Qiu Xing's expression changed, he quickly put down the cup of water, stood up and walked towards the small living room.

Xie Yang also hurriedly stood up and followed.

In the small living room, Qiu's mother was muttering something neurotically, her eyes looking into space without focus. Qiu Xing strode over, reached out and grabbed Qiu's mother's hand, bent down and looked into her eyes, and said softly: "Mom, I'm here, what do you want to say?"

Mother Qiu's eyes fell on Qiu Xing, and she held Qiu Xing's hand tightly, saying, "Ah Xing, I seem to hear your sister crying again. Have you gone to pick her up? Have she and Qinglin come back? Go pick them up quickly."

Xie Yang noticed that Feng Qinglin, who came in later, stopped suddenly after hearing what Qiu's mother said. He ignored it and strode to Qiu's mother, grabbed her other hand and poured his supernatural power into it.

"I picked them up. They're back home. Don't worry." Qiu Xing skillfully coaxed Qiu's mother, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, and patted her back soothingly.

Mother Qiu gradually calmed down, leaned back in her chair, and muttered in a low voice that she wanted to look at the stars.

Xie Yang let go of his hand, took a step back, and frowned slightly.

Superpowers are not omnipotent. Qiu's mother is old and has multiple organ failures. The supernatural power can only help relieve her old age diseases and make her body more comfortable, but it cannot help her organs restore vitality.

In other words, he could only try his best to make Qiu's mother live more comfortably in her last days and pass away slower, but he could not help Qiu's mother prolong her life.

There is no way.

In the original plot, Qiu’s mother died at the end of February after the New Year, which was… Xie Yang was stunned and suddenly realized something.

Although Qiu's mother is indeed in poor health now, she definitely does not look like she is about to die. Judging from what he had just detected with his supernatural powers, Qiu's mother could at least hold on for another half a year.

The difference between half a year and more than half a month is really huge. And the reason for this difference... Xie Yang frowned and shifted his gaze to Feng Qinglin.

In the original plot, before Qiu's mother passed away, Feng Qinglin took Mu Zhouyi to meet Qiu's mother, and after only one meeting, Mu Zhouyi gained Qiu's mother's recognition and appreciation. After that meeting, Qiu's mother's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse and she died soon after. Before her death, she not only left Feng Qinglin an inheritance, but also left some money to Mu Zhouyi.

The original book's explanation for Qiu's mother's quick death was that she saw that her grandson had a companion, which fulfilled a big wish of hers, so she let go of the breath she had been holding on to, and her body quickly collapsed.

But just now, Xie Yang had another guess.

It is known that Qiu's mother is in poor health, has multiple organ failure, and is always confused. So, given that Mu Zhouyi's golden finger is similar to a psychic ability, and in the original book, Mu Zhouyi used the favorability skill on Qiu's mother when he met her, Qiu's mother's condition suddenly worsened. Could it be that her body is too weak to withstand the impact of the ability, so...

Xie Yang clenched his fist quickly.

Wood Zhouyi!

…

By lunch time, Qiu's mother still hadn't regained consciousness. Qiu Xing fed her personally, and then called the resident doctor at the sanatorium to check on her body.

The examination results showed nothing serious. Qiu's mother's sudden illness and worsening symptoms were probably due to her emotional excitement after seeing Feng Qinglin, whom she had always been concerned about.

Only then did Qiu Xing feel relieved.

After the doctor left, the nurse put Qiu's mother to bed, and the remaining three went to the restaurant to have a late lunch.

During the meal, Feng Qinglin asked, "Uncle, has grandma always been like this? When she's confused, she will..." He didn't finish his words, as if the rest of the words were difficult for him to say.

Qiu Xing had no expression on his face and replied, "It has always been like this."

Feng Qinglin clenched his chopsticks and asked again: "Why... do you want to look at the stars?"

"Because your mother once said when she was little that she wanted to become a star in the sky after she died."

The atmosphere at the table became increasingly quiet.

After the meal, Feng Qinglin asked to leave, but Qiu Xing did not try to keep him. Xie Yang took the initiative to offer to send Feng Qinglin off. Qiu Xing looked at Xie Yang, said nothing, and acquiesced.

The two of them still drove out of the gate.

When they arrived at the door, Feng Qinglin got out of the car, and Jie Yang followed him down, saying, "Did you bring the evidence of He Rumin and He Xun's hidden affair that I asked you to bring yesterday?"

Feng Qinglin frowned and answered irrelevantly: "What do you want to do?"

"Just cleaning up the scum and murderers."

"Murderer?"

Xie Yang looked at Feng Qinglin coldly and said, "After the evidence of the hidden rules was sent to the emperor, He Rumin became suspicious and threatened everyone who had hidden rules with him. A little girl who was forced to hide couldn't stand it and tried to commit suicide. She was lucky enough to be rescued in the end. Feng Qinglin, you almost killed someone indirectly."

Feng Qinglin was startled, then his expression tensed. He and Jie Yang remained in a stalemate for a few seconds, then he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket.

Xie Yang reached out to take it.

"Mu Zhouyi..."

Xie Yang paused, then spread out his palms and said bluntly: "Mu Zhouyi betrayed me once, don't expect me to show mercy to her."

After a while, Feng Qinglin closed his eyes tightly, put the USB drive in Jie Yang's palm, then turned around, strode into his car, started the car and left.

Xie Yang returned to the small building and did not see Qiu Xing in the living room. He called the nurse to ask and learned that Qiu Xing was in Qiu's mother's room. He tactfully did not go in to disturb him, but went back to the second floor to find his laptop and inserted the USB drive into it.

A large number of photos and hotel check-in records were refreshed, including several recordings.

The stuff is so explosive that it is obvious that only someone who is very close to He Rumin can get it. It seems that Mu Zhouyi has been helping the male protagonist a lot when he was collecting these evidences.

Jie Yang quickly browsed through these things, picked out a few recordings that could both expose the fact that He Rumin and He Xun had hidden rules and blur the information of the victims, and edited them for secondary processing. Then he closed his computer, took out his mobile phone and opened Weibo.

After emergency repairs and capacity expansion, Weibo, which had been paralyzed for a long time, finally returned to normal. The Weibo post about the live interview with the little celebrity topped the trending list, with more than 100,000 comments.

Various topics with the prefix or suffix "Huangtian" were trending on the search list and mixed with various New Year-related topics. Half of them were about the ugliness of the world and half were about the prosperous times. It looked ironic and ridiculous.

Just like the development in the original plot, the little star didn't know whether she did it on purpose or out of principle. Although she revealed the fact that He Rumin and his son loved to use unspoken rules in the interview, she did not drag other victims into the water by name. No matter how the reporter asked, she refused to mention anyone's name.

But sometimes not saying anything is more likely to arouse people's imagination than saying it.

In the comment section, the netizens were like flies smelling blood, listing out the names of Huangtian’s contracted female artists and analyzing and exposing them one by one.

Xie Yang closed his Weibo account, contacted Qin Cheng, sent him the recording, and asked him to release the recording in the name of Mu Zhouyi and buy a few hot searches for Mu Zhouyi.

Qin Cheng was shocked and asked, "Where did you get this? No, what are you going to do?"

Xie Yang answered the question irrelevantly: "My stupid relative had a falling out with Mu Zhouyi."

"..." Qin Cheng hung up the phone silently and went to do his work.

…

At eight o'clock in the evening, the New Year's Eve galas of major satellite TV stations started broadcasting, but not many people paid attention to these galas on Weibo. Everyone was watching the galas passionately and could not stop at all.

At 8:40, Qiu Xing went to the small living room immediately after putting his mother to bed.

Xie Yang said: "My show has passed."

Qiu Xing frowned: "So fast? Isn't it the eighth program? The time I calculated is clearly——"

Xie Yang laughed.

"..." Qiu Xing realized that he had been tricked. He strode over with a dark face and pressed Jie Yang's head hard with his hand. Then he sat down next to Jie Yang, forcefully pulled Jie Yang's hand and held it in his own, and looked at the TV screen.

At ten past nine, Xie Yang's show began. Qiu Xing was staring at the TV screen intently, while Xie Yang was staring at Qiu Xing intently. A few minutes later, the show was over and Qiu Xing relaxed a little.

Xie Yang asked: "How is it?"

Qiu Xing quickly restrained his expression and replied reservedly, "Not bad."

"Just okay?"

Qiu Xing avoided the question, turned off the TV and urged Jie Yang to go to bed.

…

Before going to bed, Xie Yang checked Weibo again.

Mu Zhouyi's New Year's Eve performance has ended. Many people who were influenced by Mu Zhouyi's voice took the initiative to start a topic and praised Mu Zhouyi's performance in the evening. And just under the topic praising Mu Zhouyi for his good singing, several topics such as #Mu Zhouyi is not afraid of unspoken rules#, #He Rumin's recording#, and #Mu Zhouyi clear stream# were lined up, looking very funny.

Xie Yang was very satisfied with Qin Cheng's efficiency and turned off his phone with peace of mind.

He has helped Mu Zhouyi take the first step in betraying He Ruming. Now it depends on how He Ruming will react after knowing the truth.
