    Chu Yao's little prestige was almost lost due to the famous quarrel of Fang's couple. After finally sending them away, he returned to the office exhausted.

    He relaxed his body and leaned back heavily on the chair, looking aimlessly at the spacious and clean office.

    Growing up, his mother told him countless times that he was his father's only heir.One day, fame will be in his hands, and he will be the master of the group.

    Sooner or later, this office of his father will belong to him.

    In the past, he also more or less looked forward to the future of inheriting the family business, becoming famous, and further developing the famous name.

    But when he actually sat in this office that he should have dreamed of, Chu Yao only felt that he was overwhelmed and tired of coping, like a heavy burden.

    Unprepared, he was pushed to the captain's position and took charge of this prestigious ship. With no experience, he could only stand on the cusp of the storm to meet waves of storms, screaming hoarsely and making ugly appearances.

    All of this was completely different from what he had imagined. After entering the company, he made achievements step by step, was praised by everyone, and then took over his father's class as a matter of course... completely different!

    Chu Yao even wanted to retreat a little bit.

    Perhaps it would be better for the name to temporarily relinquish power to more experienced shareholders?Anyway, the shares in his father's hands are still there, as long as he recovers, it will be easy to return to his position, right?

    But he dared not say such thoughts.

    Inheriting the prestigious name was his mother's expectation for him since he was a child.Xue Lu has strict requirements and deep expectations for her son. Once she knows that Chu Yao wants to give up voluntarily and hand over his fame to others, even if it is temporarily, she will never agree.

    As for Chu Tiancheng, who regards fame as his life's painstaking effort, more important than his wife and son, it is even more impossible to agree.

    Moreover, Chu Yao himself was not too reconciled.He didn't think there was a problem with his abilities, it was just that he lacked experience.As long as he persists, he will not be worse than anyone.

    But now, his resolve is increasingly wavering.

    Especially after what happened today...

    ...What is going on?Didn't his mother despise punchlines at all? How could he take people away from the hospital?If it weren't for the Fang's couple's eloquent words, it would be hard for him to believe such an outrageous fact.

    He was even implicated in an innocent disaster!

    With a bit of inexplicable resentment, he dialed Xue Lu's phone and said, "Mom, I heard that Qiao Yu left with you, and Aunt Fang and the others became famous directly. What's going on?? Didn’t you tell me to stay away from punchlines before?”

    When she received a call from Chu Yao, Xue Lu happened to be having a heart-to-heart conversation with Fang Miaoyu.

    The two sat side by side on the sofa, arm in arm. At first glance, they looked like a pair of intimate mother and daughter. Only when you looked carefully could you see the unnaturalness in Fang Miaoyu's expression.

    Hearing Chu Yao's question on the other end of the phone, Fang Miaoyu quietly pricked up her ears before Xue Lu responded.

    ... Chu Yao knows how much Xue Lu hates her, so he will definitely find something is wrong, right?

    When she thought this way, it turned out that Chu Yao, who was opposite her, also asked the same question.

    But Xue Lu explained calmly: "At this moment, at that moment, I asked you to stay away from her at the beginning because the incident at the engagement banquet was too ugly, and the rumors from the outside world were not good.Keep a low profile?"

    Xue Lu smiled apologetically at Fang Miaoyu who was next to her, and continued: "Mom admits that because of this incident, I had a little opinion of her before. But these days I often go to the hospital to see your father, and I also met with Miaoyu a few times by the way, getting along with her."Too much, I found out that she is actually a good girl. I thought it was wrong before. If you really like each other, Mom has no objection. After a while, your reputation will stabilize and the turmoil of the engagement banquet will pass. You can be together.!"

    When speaking, Xue Lu's eyes kept falling on Fang Miaoyu, she was indescribably gentle and loving, and she sighed: "It's because her parents misunderstood you a lot, and these days they take Miaoyu very seriously.The witty saying is that she doesn't feel well locked up in the hospital, and she finally came out, so she just wanted to let the air out. I also wanted to let the child relax, so I didn't think too much about it for a while..."

    Chu Yao suddenly realized.

    "So that's how it is. Anyway, at least you should tell me first. Today, I really fell from the sky..."

    He couldn't help but vomit bitterness, and told him about being troubled by Fang's couple, and finally couldn't help but say: "Why don't you..." Send him back as soon as possible?

    When her son mentioned the arrogance of the Fang couple, there was a flash of coldness in Xue Lu's eyes, which was too fast for people to notice.

    As if she knew what her son wanted to say, before she finished speaking, she opened her mouth and interrupted: "Okay, okay, we kidnapped her daughter, your Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang should be unhappy, and I will personally discuss it in a few daysExplained it to them. You are a man, are you afraid of being scolded by your elders? There are so many famous things recently, so you should concentrate on your work and don't be distracted by these trivial matters. I am now with the punchline, we womenDon't bother calling me!"

    Xue Lu knows how to deal with her son too well.

    The tone of her speech could easily make people misunderstand that the two were shopping or doing beauty treatment, and the tone of her voice was very satisfied with the other party's witty words, and it was difficult for Chu Yao to continue talking when she was interrupted.

    He had no choice but to say: "...well, you guys have fun."

    Fang Miaoyu watched Chu Yao being fooled around, didn't realize what was wrong until he hung up the phone, and suddenly had deep doubts about his previous judgment.

    In fact, not long after Xue Lu left, Fang Miaoyu regretted it.

    She realized that under Xue Lu's deliberate pressure, her mind was confused and she made a wrong choice.

    ——At that time in the hospital, she didn't have to pay attention to Xue Lu at all, she could just walk away, and the other party couldn't kill Xue Lu on the spot.

    Fang Miaoyu herself did not have any evidence to report Xue Lu and Xue Dashan's conspiracy, even for Chu Yao's consideration, she would not report them.

    But Xue Lu would definitely not gamble on this.

    She had smashed through the murderous conspiracy, Xue Lu could only choose to give up, and the final result would be that nothing happened.

    In this way, everything seems to end here, and she can still successfully prevent a murder that should have been born.

    The only hidden danger is Xue Lu's resentment and future revenge.

    ——Fang Miaoyu has no doubts about this.Because she witnessed the other party's conspiracy and destroyed the other party's plan.

    There is only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days.Unless Fang Miaoyu made up his mind to destroy Xue Lu, destroy his reputation and eliminate hidden dangers.

    ... As long as she confessed everything to her parents afterwards, they must be willing to solve her hidden dangers for her.But for Chu Yao, she can't do this.She didn't want to hurt Chu Yao.

    Since Xue Lu cannot be destroyed to avoid hidden dangers, she must always worry about the other party's secret revenge from now on.Even parents who don't know are very likely to be plotted by the other party.

    Fang Miaoyu has seen through her unlimited viciousness.This is the truth that villains have been hard to guard against since ancient times.

    On the contrary, if she pretended not to know about Xue Lu's plan and let everything go ahead, not only would she be able to marry Chu Yao smoothly in the future, even the great fame would belong to the two of them.

    The only victim was the insignificant "Chu Deng", which also made Chu Yao lose a troublesome competitor.

    And this is the promise made by Xue Lu.

    Option 1: Lose love, and most likely gain a sinister and vicious enemy who is spying on you.

    Option 2: Double harvest of love and interests.

    Between these two choices, as long as you put aside your conscience and the bottom line, everyone knows how to choose.

    However, Fang Qianyu still has a little bit of conscience.

    She didn't want to choose one, nor did she want to choose two.

    At that time in the hospital, Xue Lu saw Fang Miaoyu's contradictions and vacillations at a glance - she resisted and resented Xue Lu's actions, but also couldn't bear to hurt Chu Yao, and the interests of the two were exactly the same.

    It is precisely because of insight into Fang Miaoyu's contradictory psychology that Xue Lu, who should have gained the upper hand after being discovered of the conspiracy, quickly grasped Fang Miaoyu's fear through verbal hints, and continued to seduce and pressure the other party to choose to submit in the chaos.

    After all the way to Xue Lu's territory, the mobile phone was also kept under house arrest in a disguised form, Fang Miaoyu finally woke up from the chaos, and regrets poured out from the bottom of her heart.

    ——Is she really going to become an accomplice to crime?

    Ever since he learned of Su Ying's "fishing" plan, without him saying anything, System 333 became as excited as a chicken blood.

    It hasn't forgotten the "shame" brought to it by Xue Lu and Xue Dashan.System 333 vowed to avenge its shame, and made a big effort in the fishing plan to let the host see its capabilities.

    System 333, which has learned lessons from experience, simply turned into an electronic ghost, monitoring Xue and Lu in all directions through the ubiquitous network.

    The two people’s mobile phones, computers, and all electronic devices connected to the Internet in daily life, the surveillance probes passing by when walking on the road, the traffic lights at the corner of the intersection, the electronic devices Xue Dashan stayed in the hotel, and every chat, call, and text message sent by other people.The message... There are traces of System 333 passing by silently behind it.

    It can be said that no matter where they go, there is an invisible ghost by their side, watching them silently.

    The existence of System 333 is a blow to the information security of this low-level scientific and technological civilization.Unless they can throw away their mobile phones and other equipment and be in the wilderness, it is absolutely impossible for them to escape the monitoring of System 333.

    — Just imagine such a situation, I am afraid that anyone will feel the creeps from the bottom of their hearts.

    But System 333 doesn't have the conscience of spying on people. Anyway, Su Ying seldom remembers its existence, and it simply devotes itself wholeheartedly to monitoring the two of them.

    And this kind of 24-hour tracking and monitoring, really quickly reaped the results that System 333 wanted.

    System 333 was overjoyed, and immediately came to Su Ying to report its discovery: "Host host, something has been discovered!"

    "I found out that a few days ago, shortly after Xue Dashan arrived in City A, a villa that had been vacant for a long time under Chutian Chengming suddenly showed signs of being occupied, and the water and electricity bills were paid. I thought it was Xue DashanOne person, but the daily shopping record is more than one person, and there are things that are biased towards young girls... After my careful analysis and judgment, besides Xue Dashan, there is another young girl aged 20 to 25 who lives in that villa..." System 333 crackled and threw a big call, "Then I mobilized the property monitoring of the community, and found that it was indeed the case!"

    Speaking of this, System 333's tone is inevitably complacent.

    It sold a trick: "You will never guess who the other person is the host..."

    "Is it Fang's punchline?" Su Ying said a name casually.

    The sound of System 333 stopped abruptly.

    After three seconds of silence, "papapapa" applause came from the small ball of light: [As expected of the host, even this can be expected!】

    "Although I know that I have a very outstanding personality, 333, you should worship me, but blind worship is also unacceptable." Su Ying didn't mean to be modest at all, but instead bent his eyes, he patted the small light ball, "You know, in this world, young girls in their early twenties, I have only come into contact with this one~"

    It was like taking a picture of a Q-bomb jelly, and Su Ying couldn't help taking two more shots because of the comfortable feel.

    "...Since you say I can't guess it, it means that it must be someone I know. Besides Fang Miaoyu, who else?"

    System 333: "..."

    Su Ying asked curiously again: "However, you can check the monitoring to find out, why did you analyze so much before?"

    Without waiting for System 333 to answer, he had already come to a conclusion: "Sure enough, you like detective games too!"

    In fact, I just want to show my system 333 in an all-round way in front of the host: "...that's right, that's it."

    It imitated the host's tone: "—It would be too boring to directly know the result and jump to the finale. It really is more interesting to play the detective game. Host, you must think so, right?"

    "That's right, that's it." Su Ying snapped his fingers, super agreeing, "The result is not important, what is important is the process~" Reading the script directly to the finale, how much fun would be lost?

    "So—" System 333 finally couldn't help but say the purpose: "Can I also contribute to the host's detective game? Doesn't every detective have a good helper?"

    It decisively ignored the existence of the white thorn.

    Su Ying asked back, "Why not?"

    "Great!"

    System 333 immediately jumped up.In the next second, soft white light filled the air, and a large piece of subtitles was projected in front of Su Ying's eyes.

    System 333's work enthusiasm is very high——

    "Look at the host—aside from the fact that Fang Miaoyu's matter is not quite right, I also found that in the past two days, Xue Dashan has been in frequent contact with entertainment reporters, paparazzi, detectives, information dealers, and even hackers on the Internet, trying to find someone to investigate the host.Your usual whereabouts."

    System 333 even displays the chat history.

    "Eh?" Su Ying looked curiously.

    I don't know if he was instructed by Xue Lu, Xue Dashan is still cautious.He used a trumpet without a real name, pretending to be a reporter who wanted to interview Su Ying, interacted with other people on the Internet, and announced a huge reward, looking for someone who could provide Su Ying's detailed whereabouts.

    Xue Dashan's statement does not raise doubts.

    During this period of time, Su Ying has gained quite a reputation on the Internet.

    Those emoticons before are enough for him to be popular.With Chu Tiancheng hospitalized and Shengming in trouble at home and abroad, he, one of the heirs of the Shengming Group who held 15% of Shengming's shares and announced in public that he would sell his shares, attracted even more attention.Whether he really intends to sell the shares, who he decides to sell the shares to, and whether he has already sold them are all topics of concern to many people.

    This may even determine the future direction of Shengming.

    Therefore, those who want to dig news from him are like crucian carp in a river.

    However, he himself is not good at walking, and the number of times he goes out is very seldom, and occasionally when he goes out, he is also elusive.A lot of reporters who followed him tried to figure out who the shares in his hands would belong to through the people he went out to contact, but they were either thrown away inexplicably, or they got into trouble halfway.

    During this period of time, countless reporters fell on him, and the police who arrived suddenly on the way regarded him as a stalker, a stalker, a pervert, a thief...and caught him on the spot.Even if they explain clearly in the end, they will inevitably go to the bureau first and be investigated.

    Some people were really found out with some minor problems, not to mention losing their jobs, they had to be locked up for education.

    Therefore, Xue Dashan's trumpet, in the eyes of others, is just another paparazzi who hit a wall on Su Ying.

    They even suspected that the paparazzi had been driven crazy.

    ——Could it be that he was caught in the police station too many times?They have started to offer huge rewards to other talented people. It's not worthwhile to spend so much money even if this performance is achieved!

    ——Unless, the paparazzi who was driven crazy didn't want to catch any big news, but wanted to make a big news.For example, stop the culprit, give him a good beating or something.

    Some people who saw Xue Dashan offering a reward couldn't help but think so.

    All of a sudden, they who thought the other party was stupid and rich, immediately felt the same.

    ... If you can find someone to beat him up for so much money, what's the matter with being really tempted?

    ... No, think about the warnings of squatting, think about their wallets, calm down, calm down, impulsiveness is the devil!

    At this time, Xue Dashan was in deep distress.

    In the past few days, he pretended to be interested in "Chu Deng" and wanted to be a reporter with exclusive news. He mixed with many paparazzi groups and information selling groups., looking for someone to investigate the whereabouts of "Chu Deng", and finally said the name, the people in the group said "understand", no one suspected that there was a problem with his identity, but everyone followed the enthusiastic seniorIt seems that a lot of previous experience of stalking each other has been shared in the group.

    ——It is not accurate to say that sharing is not accurate, but complaining is more or less the same.

    Not only were many of Xue Dashan's prepared speeches useless, he was also forced to hear a group of people voicing their bitterness.

    "???" At the end, Xue Dashan was in a trance, his head was full of question marks, and his thinking continued to slip.

    He couldn't help but look again and again at the chat groups, post bars, and topic numbers he had specially joined, and confirmed that these were paparazzi circles, detective circles, and information dealer circles where talented people and strangers came out, rather than #楚灯1号每样团#, #Chu Deng No. 2 suffers it #, # Chu Deng No. 3 victim circle #.

    The current plan was arranged by Xue Lu.

    Although simple and hasty, it seems feasible.

    ——They don't have more time to make plans. On the one hand, there is the X factor of Fang Miaoyu. The longer the time, the more variables there will be.But the more important reason was that Xue Lu was about to be driven crazy by someone's unconventional playing of cards.From Su Ying's vague tone these days, they suspected that the other party had found some clues.

    This forces them to act as soon as possible.

    The reason why Xue Dashan looked for strangers on the Internet instead of looking for friends he knew to investigate was because he was worried that he would be caught by the clues after the incident happened in the future.In order to put aside suspicion, Xue Lu, who could directly ask about Su Ying's whereabouts, was even less likely to take the initiative to inquire about this matter.

    So they can only choose to find someone online.

    The plan mainly has two parts: on the one hand, pretending to be a paparazzi to find someone who is good at follow-up investigations to confirm Su Ying's specific whereabouts;

    The investigators had nothing to do with the kidnappers, and they thought they were selling news to the paparazzi. After all, there were so many paparazzi interested in Su Ying, it wasn't worth making a fuss about.

    Even if the other party has some associations after the incident, out of fear of taking responsibility for himself, he will definitely not talk nonsense outside.Taking a ten thousand step back, even if he said it, it would only prove that the kidnapper was too cunning and bought off the target's whereabouts by pretending to be a paparazzi.

    The kidnapper who was bought had no contact with Xue Dashan on the surface, and there was no transfer of money—all remuneration would be remitted to an account that had nothing to do with the kidnapper on the surface through multiple transfers through an overseas unregistered account.After receiving the reward, they will bear the responsibility of "originally just wanting to make a sum of money, but because the kidnapped's words are too annoying, so they kill him impulsively".

    The plan is roughly like this, and it is not complicated. At most, some details can be added, but Xue Dashan feels that the simpler the plan, the more effective it is.

    As long as the kidnappers don't confess and find no evidence related to them, they can easily get rid of that annoying kid, and maybe even recover the shares held by the other party as inheritance.

    But now, this plan is actually stuck in the first step.

    ——Who can tell him where he can find a master who can accurately investigate the whereabouts of that kid!

    Just when Xue Dashan was about to go to Xue Lu to report the unfavorable results of the division, a message pop-up window popped up suddenly.

    The pop-up window came from an information selling group he joined, and it was a private message:

    [It's you, are you interested in Chu Deng's whereabouts?]

    Xue Dashan regained his spirits immediately: [Do you have a solution?]

    [Of course.In this world, no one understands Chu Deng's "heart" "heart" and "heart" better than me~]

    Is there something wrong with this guy's speech?

    While typing, Xue Dashan opened the account.

    He discovered that this was probably a new account that had just joined the group. Its nickname was [The Disseminator of Human Virtue], and its avatar was the "Teacher Chu Tolerant Face Emoji Package" that has been popular on the Internet recently.

    Clicking in again, in the other party's space, except for the screenshots of the game, there are all kinds of "Teacher Chu emoticons".

    Some public speeches are all kinds of "Chu Deng" rainbow farts.

    Xue Dashan couldn't help but three question marks popped up:???

    He seemed to understand why he felt something was wrong.

    It is not known whether this guy has the ability to investigate the whereabouts of "Chu Deng", but it must be that the other party's true fan has not escaped.

    And it's kind of perverted...

    Could it be because he was too perverted that he could perfectly track and investigate all the whereabouts of "Chu Deng"?After all, those illegitimate fans in the entertainment industry are said to be better than paparazzi...

    Who cares, it's not me who is being targeted by the pervert anyway!

    Putting aside his wild thoughts, Xue Dashan continued to send messages to the other party: [...You are too exaggerated, how can you prove it?If it is true, my side must be well paid.]

    In less than three seconds, a photo was sent from the other side.

    In the photo, a young man in a wheelchair is sitting by a flower bed, holding up a bag of cat food and teasing the cats on the side of the road.

    And the time display in the corner is one minute ago.

    [Can this prove it?No one knows Chu Deng better than me, but I follow him all the time~]

    Xue Dashan suddenly gasped.

    ——Okay, so perverted!

    He couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to that kid.

    Sympathy belongs to sympathy, what should be done is still to be done.Xue Dashan applied to add the other party as a friend without saying a word.After passing the application, he started pretending to be a paparazzi, and said word by word according to what Xue Lu taught him:

    [It’s like this, I have important news and want to interview Chu Deng, but I haven’t been able to find an opportunity to communicate with him privately, because he rarely goes out and his whereabouts are difficult to determine.]

    [——Since you have a way to confirm his whereabouts, then in the next half month, I can hire you as my special assistant to help me confirm the time for him to go out, especially the time and place when he is alone, and help me find the most suitable time and place for him to go out.Any chance of interviewing him?]

    [Okay "heart".]

    [The disseminator of human virtues] quickly replied:

    [I can't wait to see Chu Deng's photos appear on the news headlines, so that everyone can appreciate his outstanding personality charm. "Expect" "Expect" "Expect"~]

    Xue Dashan: "...?"

    ... This pervert really knows how to think.

    ... headlines?

    … appearing as a victim in the headlines of the rule of law news?

    He was inexplicably looking forward to it, and almost laughed out loud.The fingers tapped the keyboard quickly, and finally replied to the other party:

    [No problem, your wish must be fulfilled!]
