Seeing Zhao Yu's protectiveness, Su Yao's smugness grew wildly, her eyes gleaming with increasingly intense arrogance and conceit. She felt she had a solid backing, allowing her to deal with Lin Qian with even greater impunity. This thought swirled in her mind, driving her to eagerly begin plotting a new scheme. She was determined to drive Lin Qian out of the village completely, ensuring she would never appear before her again.
Su Yao sat in the dimly lit corner, her brow furrowed, racking her brains for a solution. The candlelight cast flickering shadows on the wall, making her face appear even more sinister. Time ticked by, and a plan she believed to be flawless gradually materialized in her mind. A sinister smile crept onto her lips.
Su Yao decided to find a man with whom Lin Qian had a grudge and exploit their conflict to achieve her goals. After some inquiries, she set her sights on Li Ergou, a good-for-nothing in the village. Li Ergou was a lazy, good-for-nothing with a terrible reputation in the village. Moreover, he had once made advances towards Lin Qian but was severely punished by her, thus harboring resentment towards her. This was exactly the kind of person Su Yao needed.
One afternoon, the scorching sun shone brightly on every corner of the village. Su Yao found Li Ergou in a corner of the village. At this moment, Li Ergou was idly enjoying the shade under a big tree at the entrance of the village, with a straw stick in his mouth, looking completely idle.
Su Yao stepped forward, a fake smile on her face, but a calculating glint in her eyes. She said softly, "Li Ergou, I have something I need your help with. If you cooperate, you'll certainly get your share of the benefits."
Upon hearing there was good news, Li Ergou immediately perked up. He sat up straight, staring intently at Su Yao, and asked impatiently, "What is it? I'll do anything as long as there's money!"
Su Yao's eyes were sinister as she leaned closer to Li Ergou and deliberately lowered her voice, saying, "Li Ergou, I need your help with something. I'm planning to set a trap for that bitch Lin Qian, and you'll have to cooperate. I'll find an opportunity for you and Lin Qian to 'accidentally' meet in the woods at the edge of the village. Then, you take the chance to touch her inappropriately, making sure others think your relationship is more than just friendship. Once this is done, I promise you won't be shortchanged; I'll give you a reward that will satisfy you. Think about it, you can vent your anger and get money at the same time—isn't that a great deal!"
As for why she didn't approach Wang Qiang, Su Yao had her own reasons. Her previous collaboration with Wang Qiang to spread rumors had almost backfired, so now wasn't the time to contact him and risk arousing further suspicion. Besides, Wang Qiang had just been caught red-handed, making it too risky to ask him for help now. Li Ergou, on the other hand, was a thug, always acting unscrupulously; getting him to do something like this wouldn't seem strange to others. Furthermore, Li Ergou already harbored resentment towards Lin Qian; giving him a little benefit would surely make him willingly help.
Li Ergou was secretly delighted. He already harbored resentment towards Lin Qian, and now that such an opportunity was presented to him, he naturally wouldn't let it slip by. He agreed to Su Yao's request without hesitation: "No problem, leave it to me! Su Yao, just you wait and see, I'll definitely handle this perfectly."
Su Yao nodded in satisfaction, a glint of malice flashing in her eyes: "Alright, it's settled then. Remember, you must do exactly as I say, and absolutely no mistakes can be made. I will inform you of the specific time and place separately, so prepare in advance."
Li Ergou patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry about it. Don't you trust me to handle things? I, Li Ergou, may not have many other skills, but this is what I do best."
Looking at Li Ergou's confident demeanor, Su Yao felt secretly smug. She believed her plan was flawless, and Lin Qian was definitely doomed this time.
To ensure the plan went smoothly, Su Yao began to meticulously plan every detail. She carefully selected a suitable location, a relatively secluded corner of the village where few people usually passed by. She also deliberately chose a time, an evening when it was just before dusk, making it easier to create an ambiguous atmosphere.
In the days leading up to the implementation of the plan, Su Yao imagined Lin Qian being scorned by everyone, her heart filled with anticipation. Li Ergou was not idle either; he would frequently linger in front of Lin Qian, deliberately attracting her attention and laying the groundwork for the impending conspiracy.
Lin Qian and 003 witnessed Su Yao and Li Ergou's conspiracy through a special means, and a surge of anger and disdain welled up in their hearts.
Lin Qian snorted coldly and said, "It's not my fault that Zhao Yu likes me. If she's so capable, she should go after Zhao Yu. What kind of ability is it to always target me?"
003 said angrily, "That's right, host, Su Yao's intentions are too vicious. But don't be too angry, we need to think of a way to deal with her conspiracy."
Lin Qian said firmly, "Does she think she can defeat me like this? She's thinking too simply. 003, we need to plan carefully and not let her plan succeed."
003 responded, "Host, what should we do then?"
Lin Qian pondered for a moment and said, "Let's hold back for now and see what Su Yao and Li Ergou do next. They will definitely find an opportunity to implement that so-called 'plan,' and we will expose their conspiracy at the crucial moment."
003 agreed, "Good idea, host. Then let's wait and see them reap what they sow."
Lin Qian's lips curled into a cold smile: "This time, I'll let Su Yao know that I'm not so easy to bully. She'll have a tough time framing me."
