Chapter 24 Qiao Jingren found Liu Yuan
Qin Shuzhi readily agreed to cooperate with Qu Ge.
Until he walked out of the Qin Group’s gate, Qu Ge still couldn’t figure out how this could be so easy?
Is it just because of Li Siqi's face?
But since Qin Shuzhi was able to revive the Qin Group in just two years, he doesn't look like a person who is blinded by lust.
Although the proposal she put forward this time was indeed very sincere, once it was done, it would be equivalent to openly becoming an enemy of the Qiao family.
If the Qiao family is not defeated in one fell swoop, once Qiao Jingren launches a full-scale counterattack, even the Qin Group may find it difficult to resist.
After thinking about it, Qu Ge still felt uneasy.
But now that things have come to this, she has already achieved the result she wanted, and there is really no reason to be timid anymore.
Qu Ge made up his mind and no longer hesitated.
She called Rong Zhoubai as planned.
"Qin Shuzhi has sent someone to Weiyuan Villa. Now find a way to pass the message to Qiao Jingren."
…
Overnight.
News about the Qiao family was overwhelming and dominated the hot searches on major platforms.
"The richest man's daughter is suspected of intentional homicide!"
"The wife of the richest man has been kidnapped! The kidnapper is suspected to be the heir to the Qiao Group!"
The headlines on the hot search list are more eye-catching than the other.
And all of this is part of Qu Ge’s plan.
After the video Qin Shuzhi released during the day caused an uproar online, a new video appeared immediately.
In the video, Qiao Jingren helped the bruised Liu Yuan out of the Weiyuan Villa.
Liu Yuan kept yelling and cursing, "Qiao Xu'an! You heartless beast! How dare you lock me up in the basement? Just wait for me!"
From the moment she left the house to the moment she got in the car, Liu Yuan's curses became more and more unpleasant.
From her words filled with swear words, it was not difficult to hear that she meant that Qiao Xian had kidnapped her.
Qiao Xu'an did not appear in the video.
Qu Ge specifically asked Rong Zhoubai to choose a time when Qiao Xun'an was not around to pass on the news that Liu Yuan was imprisoned in Weiyuan to Qiao Jingren.
The media Qin Shuzhi had arranged had already been staking out the area, waiting for Liu Yuan to emerge and film everything...
The two videos that were released one after another quickly caused an uproar among the online netizens.
"A son kidnapped his own mother? Is this true?"
"I used to follow Qiao Wanwan's account. I thought she was a really gentle sister, but I didn't expect her to be such trash!"
“It’s hard to evaluate the whole family…”
"Qiao Wanwan's account flaunts her wealth every day, and there are still people following her?"
"Murder means death! Investigate this matter immediately and don't let these rich people act lawlessly!"
The matter quickly escalated and soon turned into a hunting spree targeting the rich among netizens.
Qiao Wanwan's account, which had not been updated for several days, was bombarded by countless people, and countless curses piled up in the comment section under her exquisite VLOGs.
The official account of Qiao Group was not spared from being flooded with abusive comments.
Many netizens left messages tagging the Jiangzhoucheng police, demanding a thorough investigation into these matters.
As Qu Ge wished, Qu Shunzhi's death was finally taken seriously.
The police contacted her and asked her to go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation of the case that year.
But this is far from enough.
Although the power of public opinion is strong, it is often short-lived.
When the heat of this incident passes and it gradually fades from the attention of netizens, the Qiao family will still have countless ways to whitewash the situation.
If you want to hit the target with one blow, you can only start from within the Qiao family.
Therefore, Qu Ge passed the news that Liu Yuan was imprisoned by Qiao Xuan to Qiao Jingren.
She wanted to let Qiao Jingren know that his disobedient adopted son had become disloyal to him!
…
Qiao family mansion.
It had been a whole day, and Liu Yuan was still yelling and cursing upstairs.
In the lobby on the first floor, Qiao Xuan knelt in front of Qiao Jingren, his posture straight and without saying a word.
Qiao Jingren's face is blacker than coal.
When he received the anonymous message today, he still didn't believe that Qiao Xuan had the courage to do such a thing.
It was not until he personally led people to Weiyuan Villa that he saw with his own eyes Liu Yuan tied up with an iron chain like a dog in that dark basement!
“Bang!”
Qiao Jingren was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand at Qiao Xuan.
A big gash suddenly appeared on Qiao Xuan's forehead and blood kept flowing out.
But he still knelt there without saying a word.
The more stubborn he was, the angrier Qiao Jingren became.
He demanded, "Why on earth would you do this?! We raised you and gave you countless wealth and glory! What on earth are you still dissatisfied with?!"
"I've already said that I have nothing to explain in this matter."
Qiao Xuan lowered his head and answered calmly word by word.
Ever since he was called back by Qiao Jingren, he has only said this.
He offered no defense or explanation.
Qiao Jingren asked him to kneel down, and he did so, but there was no sign of admitting his mistake on his face.
Qiao Jingren was really angry.
He was just about to ask someone to break Qiao Xuan's legs to vent Liu Yuan's anger, but he swallowed the words back before he could say them.
Just because he saw Qiao Xuan taking out a few photos from his mobile phone.
"If you want to punish me, you might as well take a look at these first."
"What's this?"
Qiao Jingren just took a glance and his face turned pale in an instant.
The dozens of photos in Qiao Xuan’s mobile phone all showed intimate actions between Liu Yuan and another young man!
Afraid that Qiao Jingren wouldn't believe it, Qiao Xuan took out the video again.
In the picture, Liu Yuan affectionately holds the young man's hand, and the two walk into the hotel reluctantly.
The camera clearly captured the wonderful moment when the man impatiently put his hand into Liu Yuan's chest.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Jingren felt as if a green grassland had grown on his head!
"Bang!"
The phone was smashed to the ground as if to vent anger, and the screen shattered into pieces.
Before Qiao Jingren could speak, Qiao Xuan had already prepared his speech.
"Dad, I know you've been in love with her for decades. But now she's betrayed you. It was her fault first."
"My people also found out that during the days you were abroad on business last month, she secretly had several properties and estates transferred. If you don't believe me, I'll have someone send the evidence over right now."
"Dad, you bought her from the karaoke bar in Old Town. I've seen how good you've been to her over the years. Now, I just can't stand seeing her treat you like this."
While speaking, Qiao Xuan remained kneeling on the ground, and every word he said was respectful.
Hearing this, Qiao Jingren's wrinkled face became even more rugged.
He waved his hand and called the person he trusted most to verify what Qiao Xuan said.
In just a quarter of an hour, the person he sent called back.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Jingren clenched his teeth and his face was as black as iron.
He stood up and walked quickly to the second floor.
The next second, Liu Yuan's heart-wrenching scream came from upstairs...
…
Banyan Garden.
Qu Ge never received any news from the spies guarding the Qiao family mansion.
It has been a day, and there is still no movement from the Qiao family.
This is really strange.
Everyone in Jiangzhou City knows that the richest man, Qiao Jingren, loves his wife the most.
Now that Qiao Xu'an has locked Liu Yuan in the basement and tortured her for so many days, how could Qiao Jingren let him go so easily?!
Just when I was worrying, the cell phone rang.
Rong Zhoubai's face became serious after he answered the phone.
"Qiao Xu'an has already left the Qiao family mansion. He seems to be fine. However, a few minutes ago, someone saw the Qiao family's housekeeper carrying a cart of things out of the back door. The people who followed him said that the cart was loaded with what appeared to be a woman's body."
"A woman's body? Is Liu Yuan dead?! But she was clearly still..."
Qu Ge only felt an inexplicable chill on his back.
She still underestimated Qiao Xuan.
She didn't know how he had managed to convince Qiao Jingren, and even silenced Liu Yuan...
But this completely disrupted her plan.
“Hiss——”
The mobile phone receives the latest push message.
The official account of Qiao Group posted a response one minute ago, saying that Mrs. Qiao Liu Yuan had never been kidnapped and was currently on vacation abroad.
"The video online is just taken out of context. It's normal for mothers and children to occasionally have conflicts. Please don't believe or spread rumors."
Below the post, there was a video of Liu Yuan telling netizens that she was safe in front of the camera.
This video does look very realistic if you don't look closely, but if you zoom in and look at the details, you can find obvious traces of AI.
What’s funny is that the post also responded to the video of Qiao Wanwan confessing to murder. They actually said that the video was synthesized by AI!
"I hope netizens can learn to identify fake AI-generated videos!"
To Qu Ge, this line of words was extremely ironic.
What’s even more ironic is that in the comment section of this clarification article, a bunch of people who came from nowhere have already started to whitewash Qiao Xuan and Qiao Wanwan.
"I've been following Qiao Wanwan for a long time. She's always been a very kind person and often does charity work!"
"I heard Qiao Wanwan was injured and hospitalized. Everyone, please be more polite and don't believe everything you hear!"
"I've met Qiao Xuan in person before. He's handsome and polite. I don't believe he would do something like kidnapping his own mother..."
Public opinion changes rapidly.
Those who were attacking the Qiao family a few minutes ago have now changed sides.
In order to gain sympathy, the official account of Qiao Group released a photo of Qiao Wanwan lying unconscious in the hospital.
Seeing her pitiful appearance in the photo, more and more people believed the Qiao family’s lies.
Many people asked in the comments, why did Qiao Wanwan become like this?
The official account of Qiao Group did not respond directly, but simply liked a comment posted by a small account with no legal basis.
"I heard it was Qiao Xu'an's rumored girlfriend who did it. She saw Qiao Xu'an was too nice to her sister and she was jealous of him!"
In the blink of an eye, this comment was pushed to the most prominent position.
Those netizens who were clamoring for Qiao Wanwan to pay with her life during the day, turned around and started spreading information about Qu Ge’s human flesh.
Soon, the photos of Qiao Wanwan who had posted malicious pranks on Qu Ge online were dug up.
This grand hunting carnival began to change its focus.
Seeing this, Qu Ge immediately called Qin Shuzhi.
"Mr. Qin, I think it's time for us to move on to the next step."
