Chapter 28 Don't Be Afraid

The Chinese people's resistance to drugs is ingrained in their bones. After Qi Nian found out that Zhu Cheng had touched something he shouldn't have, he became extremely disgusted with him.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party was forced to come into contact with those things, so Qi Nian's disgust is also somewhat subjective. Maybe he thinks that Zhu Cheng's actions do not seem like those of a good person?

"Hey, if you get entangled in this kind of thing, I'll start to doubt whether you are Chinese." Chu Qian crossed her arms and looked at Qi Nian, saying this deliberately.

No Chinese person would like to be told that, and Qi Nian immediately stopped being bothered and told Chu Qian what he knew.

"I originally wanted to find the police to report it," Qi Nian said, "If it really exists, a urine test can find it out."

Chu Qian smiled innocently: "Do you really think it's that easy? These people are very cunning. If you call the police suddenly, you might just alarm them."

Chu Qian analyzed for him: "Look, I just checked Zhu Cheng's family background, it's just an ordinary family, if he didn't lie in the previous interview. I tend to think that he didn't lie. Don't the entertainment industry like to create some kind of noble son persona? If his family is not an ordinary family, anyone with a little money would create this kind of persona."

"Do you think people from ordinary families can have access to this kind of stuff? I think the people around him might have other channels." Chu Qian frowned when she said this.

Although she likes to make big news, it doesn't mean she likes this kind of thing.

Qi Nian felt that what Chu Qian said made sense: "So we have to find a way to get evidence, otherwise it would be meaningless even if we arrested Zhu Cheng."

Those who actually provide things will definitely harm the loved ones. Although some people do it voluntarily, Qi Nian feels that some are definitely forced.

Qi Nian was a little worried: "But how can I get evidence?"

Now it feels like we are at a dead end.

Qi Nian felt that he had been a bit naive before. Although the Chinese police were very strict in this regard, it was impossible for the other party to believe him just because he said it without any evidence, right?

What's more, Qi Nian had no way of telling the police how he knew all this.

Although Zhu Cheng does often display an unusual level of enthusiasm, this doesn't mean anything. Maybe that's just his personality.

"How about I go undercover again?" Chu Qian said something shocking.

Qi Nian immediately broke her thought: "No, it's too dangerous. This is completely different from the dangerous situation with Cen Ran."

What if Chu Qian was discovered by accident? Qi Nian didn't even dare to think about it.

Chu Qian: "I just said it casually. It's a pity that I am dead."

Qi Nian was relieved to see that she really had no intention of being an undercover agent, "I think we should start with the people around him."

Chu Qian snapped her fingers: "If we can get his hair and send it for testing, won't we have evidence?"

Qi Nian was puzzled: "Is hair okay?"

Chu Qian gave him a look: "Of course you can do it if I say so, but the testing fee is quite expensive..."

Qi Nian dug into his own personal safe and said with a pained look on his face, "I'll pay for the testing."

"That's fine." Chu Qian was relieved, clapped her hands and said, "Let's split up. I'll check Zhu Cheng's social connections, and you can see if there's any chance for you to get in touch with him."

Qi Nian nodded, and the two of them left.

Qi Nian thought about it and decided that the only way for him to get in touch with Zhu Cheng was through his second brother.

Zhu Cheng is a celebrity after all, and it's not that easy to approach him.

"You want to see Zhu Cheng?" Chu Tianheng said, looking at Qi Nian suspiciously. He slowly leaned on the sofa and sipped the red wine: "What are you planning now?"

Qi Nian knew that his acting skills were not that good, so he didn't want to act with him. He lowered his head and pretended to be quiet, and whispered, "I just want to ask, have you been involved in any activities with him recently?"

"Tsk." Chu Tianheng frowned in disdain: "I don't disdain you."

Chu Tianheng: "But, don't you hate Zhu Cheng? Why do you want to see him now?"

After saying that, seeing that Qi Nian didn't say anything, Chu Tianheng reached out and pinched his brother's chin: "I'm not saying that, but you don't look like you want to chase stars."

Qi Nian angrily slapped Chu Tianheng's hand away and said vaguely: "I... have something to do."

Chu Tianheng: "What's the matter?"

Qi Nian: "I'll tell you later."

Chu Tianheng: "You speak first."

Qi Nian: "You...you let me meet him first. It doesn't matter if we meet in private, at an event or something..."

If you meet someone in private, unless the other person is a fool, he or she will have some doubts.

Chu Tianheng smiled: "You still make a request, I'm not such an easy person to talk to. If you don't say it, do you think I will help you?"

Everyone thought: "..."

He snorted angrily, "I said, isn't it enough for me to say it?"

Chu Tianheng pretended to listen attentively.

Qi Nian held his anger for a long time before saying, "Didn't Zhu Cheng try to bully you? I'm really angry. When I see him, I'll put a sack on him and beat him up."

He spoke angrily, his cheeks puffed up unconsciously, and he thought he looked fierce.

It seems that he really dislikes Zhu Cheng.

Chu Tianheng burst into laughter upon hearing this. He drank the last sip of red wine, put down the glass, put his arm on Qi Nian's shoulder, and said with a touching look on his face: "Brother, I am so touched."

Hope appeared in Qi Nian's eyes, and he looked at Chu Tianheng eagerly: "Do you agree?"

Chu Tianheng smiled: "I am moved, but do you think I will believe you?"

Everyone thought: "..."

He snorted angrily: "Forget it, I'll find someone else."

Yes, why would he hang himself on this crooked tree of his second brother? He has other connections!

Thinking of this, Qi Nian instantly gained confidence. He shook off Chu Tianheng's hand, stood up confidently, and wanted to leave.

As a result, Chu Tianheng stopped her: "No, you aroused my curiosity. I must know what you are going to do."

Qi Nian said he wouldn't tell.

"Oh." Chu Tianheng smiled: "Qinian, do you think you are the only one who would complain?"

Chu Tianheng slowly opened the address book on his phone and checked them one by one: "Tell me, should I talk to my parents? Or to my eldest brother? Or should we talk to all three of us together?"

Qi Nian: How come his second brother is becoming more and more a villain!

Seeing Qi Nian sitting back obediently, Chu Tianheng was very satisfied. He crossed his arms and said, "Tell me, what happened to Zhu Cheng that you need to worry so much about it."

Qi Nian looked at him: "Did you see that just now?"

"I didn't see it." Chu Tianheng pointed at his face and said with a smile: "Your thoughts are written on your face."

Chu Tianheng: "Let me guess, if it's some gossip, you don't need to do this. It looks like you don't want to help him. Oh, maybe he did something illegal, and you want to contact him and get evidence?"

Everyone thought: "..."

Why is everyone so hard to fool!

Qi Nian was a little depressed.

Seeing that he did not deny it, Chu Tianheng's expression became serious and he said, "If that's the case, do you think I would trust you to do this?"

Qi Nian was a little moved: "Second brother..."

Chu Tianheng continued: "You are not alone, you still have a family."

Qi Nian: "Although, it feels a bit like scolding someone."

Chu Tianheng: “…”

He almost laughed out of anger, and poked Qi Nian's forehead with his hand: "Hurry up and tell me, or I'll complain."

Qi Nian covered his forehead with his hands in grievance. Seeing that Chu Tianheng was about to poke him, he quickly said, "Is it not enough for me to say it?"

Chu Tianheng withdrew his hand with a look of regret: "You are so spineless."

Everyone thought: "..."

Although speechless, Qi Nian still told the whole story obediently, including the countermeasures he and Chu Qian had discussed.

After hearing this, Chu Tianheng's brows were almost knotted: "I'm not saying, you two are really brave."

Qi Nian knew he was in the wrong and shrank his head.

Chu Tianheng: "Don't worry about these things for now, I'll have someone investigate Zhu Cheng."

Qi Nian wanted to say something, but Chu Tianheng threatened him: "I'm going to complain, and I'll beat you to death if I find out."

Qi Nian was dissatisfied: "Nonsense, big brother won't hit me." Big brother is very nice, okay?

However, Qi Nian is really of little help at the moment, and can only repeatedly instruct Chu Tianheng to tell him after he finds out something.

Being worried is one thing, being curious is another.

Chu Tianheng responded indifferently.

——

It must be said that Chu Tianheng was indeed much more efficient, and he had thoroughly investigated Zhu Cheng the next day.

Qi Nian opened his mouth wide and looked at the thick stack in front of him: "So much!"

Chu Tianheng looked like he hadn't had a good rest. He yawned and took some away: "These are not important. Look at this."

Excluding what Chu Tianheng took away, there was indeed a lot less.

The rest are some key information, including the people Zhu Cheng contacts most often and a private KTV that the other party often goes to.

The other party seems to particularly like going to this KTV and goes there once in a while.

If I say nothing has happened in these years, no one will believe me.

Chu Tianheng discovered something very interesting: "This KTV belongs to a man named Lei Yu. Coincidentally, Zhu Cheng's agent is also named Lei."

Qi Nian: "What is the relationship between Zhu Cheng and Lei Yu?"

Chu Tianheng: "They are brothers."

Qi Nian guessed: "Could it be that the person who provided the things was Lei Yu?"

Otherwise, why are all activities held in Lei Yu’s KTV?

Chu Tianheng shook his head, not to say that he didn't know, but he was not sure. The other party did have certain suspicions.

Qi Nian looked through the information for a while: "Lei Yu was admitted to a prestigious university, but was persuaded to drop out before he finished. He never had a proper job afterwards. But the KTV location under his name is so good, it should be worth a lot of money. Where did he get the money?"

From this perspective, Lei Yu is very suspicious.

Qi Nian was just looking at the information when Chu Qian called. The other party sounded very excited: "Niannian, I found someone who needs our special attention!"

Qi Nian thought consciously: "Lei Yu?"

"Who is Lei Yu?" Chu Qian was stunned for a moment and said, "No, you didn't share the information you found with me immediately. I'm so disappointed!"

Qi Nian touched his nose guiltily. Didn’t he just forget about it for a moment?

After a long explanation, Chu Qian reluctantly forgave her and said that she would come over right away so that the two sides could exchange information.

——

Chu Qian pulled out a small blackboard and pasted several people's names on it in a serious manner: "Ahem, there are no photos, so let's just take a look at them together."

As she spoke, she circled the name of a girl named Wu Meng and said, "I am currently more inclined to find a breakthrough from her."

Everyone raised their hands.

Chu Qian raised her chin, signaling him to speak.

Qi Nian said: "I think we also need to pay special attention to Lei Yu and Zhu Cheng's agents, as they may be the ones who provided that thing."

Chu Qian nodded in agreement, then raised her hands and circled the two people's names.

Qi Nian turned his head to look at Chu Tianheng, who had a gloomy face, and pointed at him: "Second brother, don't you have anything to say?"

Chu Tianheng looked at the two people who were serious and could only say: "So why do you want to use... Wu Meng as a breakthrough point?"

Chu Qian praised: "This is a good question."

She told them what she knew: "Although Wu Meng was Zhu Cheng's girlfriend, she was actually deceived by Zhu Cheng. Zhu Cheng was dating Wu Meng, and after being together with her, he took nude photos of her, threatened her, and called his friends to join in..."

Chu Qian felt a little unable to continue when she got to the end.

Chu Tianheng: "This Zhu Cheng really possesses all five poisons."

Qi Nian frowned in disgust and at the same time felt sorry for the girl.

Chu Qian: "At present, this is the only breakthrough point around Zhu Cheng."

Qi Nian asked, “What should we do?”

Chu Qian: "Try to get Zhu Cheng to go to the hospital for a checkup."

Chu Tianheng touched his chin: "You mean...?"

Chu Qi: “Yeah.”

Qi Nian had a puzzled look on his face: "What nonsense are you two talking about? Can't you just say it directly?"

Chu Tianheng laughed at him: "Why are you so stupid?"

Everyone thought: "..."

Chu Qi laughed and explained, "If you think you have been infected with a disease, what is your first reaction?"

Qi Nian realized, "Of course, we should go to the hospital."

After he finished speaking, he instantly understood what Chu Qian meant.

I guess Zhu Cheng is afraid of contracting some disease?

Wu Meng is a girl after all, and it is obviously the best choice for Chu Qian, who is also a girl, to go find her.

——

On the busy street, a girl with long hair was walking alone.

The girl looked unhappy, as she thought of the WeChat message she had just received.

The man who had just contacted her again, and asked her to go find him. Thinking about what she was about to face, Wu Meng felt a chill all over her body.

Those past events were like her nightmares, and even after waking up she could not get rid of the fear.

Wu Meng subconsciously didn't want to reply to the other party, as if this was the only way to buy a moment of respite.

However, her cell phone vibrated. Wu Meng didn't want to check it out because she knew who sent it, but she didn't dare not check it out either.

She opened her phone with trembling fingers, and saw the video sent by the other party. Her fingers were almost twisted from exerting so much force.

The words sent by the other party were disgusting. Wu Meng's mind went blank and he replied to the other party's message subconsciously.

No, these things cannot be sent out.

Wu Meng almost collapsed. She squatted down and let her tears wet her clothes.

A kind passerby came over and asked her what was wrong, but when Wu Meng ignored him, he left.

Really... there's no way out? Is she going to live in darkness for the rest of her life?

No, why? Why is it her fault? It's obviously not her fault, why should she bear all this?

What should I do…what should I do…will everything be alright if those people disappear?

Yes, let them disappear, so that she can still be the clean her.

Those people deserve to die, all of them!

Wu Meng wiped away her tears with a numb expression and walked into a shop selling rat poison.

The boss asked, "Do you want to buy rat poison?"

Wu Meng nodded: "Yeah, there are mice in the house, it's too dirty."

The boss saw that she was a weak girl and did not suspect anything. After all, this was not a regular drug store, otherwise he would not be able to buy rat poison.

Wu Meng bought several bags of rat poison. The boss took the money and said happily: "Why did you buy so much?"

Wu Meng: "Well, there are too many mice in the house."

The boss nodded and said, "Be careful when you use it. It can be poisonous to death."

Wu Meng smiled and nodded, then turned and left.

——

Not long after she left, a voice came from behind her: "Wu Meng."

Wu Meng turned around and saw that the other person was a strange girl. She frowned and said, "I don't know you."

The other person's eyes fell on the bag she was carrying.

Wu Meng subconsciously hid the bag behind her and asked warily, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm not doing anything." The other person said, "I just want to tell you not to punish yourself for other people's mistakes. They don't deserve it."

Wu Meng looked even more alert, and said with a stiff face: "I don't know what you are talking about!"

Having said that, she turned around and was about to leave.

"My name is Chu Yan." Chu Yan stopped the other person and whispered, "I can help you. Don't worry, no one will know what happened."

Wu Meng looked at Chu Qiang, and her grip on the bag loosened a little: "Why should I trust you?"

Chu Qian tried to look gentler: "Can you give me a moment?"

——

When Wu Meng saw Qi Nian, she wanted to leave. Qi Nian quickly stood up and was so nervous that he stuttered: "I... I'm not a bad person."

Wu Meng didn't leave after all, but he still looked at Qi Nian with caution.

She decided silently in her heart that once these two people said that, she would leave immediately.

She no longer trusts them and no one can help her.

Those people... there were many rich kids among them. She had no choice but to kill them.

It would be better to make the truly dirty things disappear completely.

"Do you know him?" Chu Qian suddenly asked.

Wu Meng frowned, not understanding why the other party would ask this.

Chu Qian: "His name is Qi Nian."

Wu Meng: “…”

Qi Nian looked at Wu Meng's puzzled expression and secretly tapped the ground with his toes.

Chu Qian continued, "Oh, he may not be very famous. Let me put it another way. His uncle...if we say uncle, he is almost the same as his father. His uncle is Chu Zhen, his aunt is Ning Min, his eldest brother is Chu Rongshi, and his second brother is Chu Tianheng. Oh, and he has a good relationship with the movie queen Chu Xiangtian and the famous host Yu Ming. Some of them are not from the entertainment industry, but their names can be searched on the Internet. You can check it out and decide whether to believe us after reading it."

Qi Nian couldn't help but straighten his back after hearing what Chu Qian said.

So... I'm so awesome?

Well, it's his family that's amazing.

Wu Meng actually checked it on her phone, and then her expression relaxed. Such a powerful family might... really be able to help her, but should she trust them?

What if... he's a scammer? Thinking of this, Wu Meng became a little alert again.

Seeing this, Chu Qian started to speak up again: "Do you know why I want to find you?"

Wu Meng looked at Chu Yan.

Chu Qian sighed: "To be honest, we actually need your help."

After saying this, Chu Qian looked at Qi Nian.

The latter immediately made a sad face and acted as if he needed help, and sat beside him like a little lamb, as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind. He was as pitiful as he could be.

To be honest, Wu Meng thought he had heard wrongly. No, your family is so powerful that you ask me for help? I want to kill myself!

I don’t know if it was because the matter was too absurd, but Wu Meng was not so vigilant for a moment.

Chu Qian continued to sigh and complain: "In fact, both you and he are victims."

Wu Meng's eyes immediately changed when she looked at Qi Nian. To be honest, if it was someone else, she might not believe it, but... she looked at Qi Nian's handsome face and was a little hesitant for a moment.

Right. Where do those people have any bottom line?

Wu Meng looked at Qi Nian with a pale face: "Don't be afraid...don't be afraid. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Qi Nian was originally trying hard to act, but when she heard this, her eyes became sore. Obviously... obviously Wu Meng had experienced those things, but she would still subconsciously help other people who were injured.

Even if it's just because of someone else's words.

Wu Meng's kindness makes people like Zhu Cheng even more despicable.

Seeing that Qi Nian was really crying, Wu Meng quickly took out a tissue and asked him to wipe his tears. For a moment, she believed Chu Qian's words even more.

Wu Meng: "I am willing to help you."

Anyway, she was already stuck in the quagmire and was not afraid of anything. She had already planned to kill those people, so she was not afraid of anything now.

Chu Qian sighed: "In fact, we already have a plan now, you just need to cooperate with us."

Perhaps when people know they are needed, they will have a desire to survive. At this time, Wu Meng became particularly tough: "Okay, I will cooperate with you."

——

Zhu Cheng sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, checked the time, and frowned.

Just as he was about to make a phone call, there was a knock on the door. Zhu Cheng smiled, got up in his pajamas and opened the door.

"Come in." Zhu Cheng was satisfied that Wu Meng was so well behaved this time and he rarely smiled.

He stretched out his hand to touch Wu Meng's face, but she subconsciously dodged.

Zhu Cheng cursed and pinched Wu Meng's face: "Why are you pretending? Do you want me to help you recall your coquettish... appearance?"

After saying this, he saw that Wu Meng did not resist, so he let go of her hand: "Don't worry, there is no rush now, be good... let's wait for others to come..."

Wu Meng's face turned pale, she clutched her phone bag tightly, and whispered, "I'm going to take a shower."

Zhu Cheng didn't expect her to be so obedient this time. He thought she had finally figured it out, so he smiled and said, "That's right. Go ahead."

After saying that, Zhu Cheng put on his pajamas and went to watch TV.

After watching TV for a while, he turned around and saw Wu Meng lowering his head and pouring something into his hands. Zhu Cheng felt something was wrong and walked over to see, but the other party heard the noise and hurriedly put the things away.

Zhu Cheng immediately reached out and snatched it. He found it was a bottle of medicine and frowned, "What kind of medicine is this? Huh? Are you trying to drug me?"

Wu Meng shook her head, her eyes flustered: "No, no."

She reached out to grab the bag beside her in fear. Zhu Cheng narrowed his eyes and quickly opened Wu Meng's bag. There was a piece of paper inside. Zhu Cheng unfolded it and saw the contents clearly. He was so angry that he yelled like crazy: "Are you fucking sick? Why didn't you tell me, huh? When did you get infected? Tell me... when!"

Wu Meng shook her head in fear: "I... I don't know what's going on..."

Zhu Cheng's face changed drastically, thinking that it might be someone else...

He rushed out of the door in his pajamas like crazy: "Hospital... I want to go to the hospital."

At the same time, a police station received a reporting call.
