Chapter 105 Part 2 – It Was Tong Yi Who Gave Them the Push (II)
Tong Yi’s expression turned blank. “You also said Jiang Xiao Li and Wen Wan are so close that if something angers Wen Wan, it’s likely to anger Jiang Xiao Li, too.”
Lin Zhao nodded thoughtfully. “True, but I assumed you knew Jiang Xiao Li better than I do.”
Tong Yi: “…”
He had just realized that Lin Zhao was actually a green tea man!
With a sigh, he patted Lin Zhao’s shoulder. “It’s a good thing we don’t like the same girl. Otherwise, you might have caused me a lot of trouble.”
Lin Zhao smiled warmly. “Relax. I promised Wanwan I wouldn’t date anyone for the next two years, so I’m not going to like anyone.”
Tong Yi raised an eyebrow. “Why’d you make that promise to Wen Wan?”
“I don’t want her dating too early, so for fairness, I won’t date anyone for two years either,” Lin Zhao explained.
Tong Yi nodded. “So, you see Wen Wan as your little sister?”
Lin Zhao nodded again. “We’ve grown up together, and she’s two years younger than me. Naturally, I can’t help but want to take care of her.”
Tong Yi smirked meaningfully. “Tomorrow, I’m going to tell Wen Wan you only see her as a sister and that you’re planning to find her a sister-in-law in two years.”
Lin Zhao frowned. “Why would you say something so ridiculous? And when did I ever say I’d find her a sister-in-law?”
Tong Yi grinned mischievously. “Fine, I won’t say it, but you’ll text Jiang Xiao Li right now and tell her that your text was just a lie to appease Wen Wan and that it was your idea to keep quiet—not mine.”
Lin Zhao sighed, helpless. “Don’t you think that’s overcomplicating things?”
Tong Yi shook his head. “Not at all.”
Lin Zhao: “…”
Seeing his reluctant expression, Tong Yi grinned again. “Why wait until tomorrow? Maybe I’ll just text Wen Wan right now!”
As Tong Yi pulled out his phone, Lin Zhao quickly interjected, “Fine, fine, I’ll send it! Happy now?”
Although Tong Yi’s claims were completely fabricated, Wanwan was gullible enough to believe them. If she truly thought he had promised to find her a ‘sister-in-law’ in two years, she’d definitely be furious with him!
So, Lin Zhao opened Jiang Li’s contact, composed the message, and then showed it to Tong Yi. “Does this work for you?”
Tong Yi nodded with satisfaction. “Not bad. If you remove the last sentence, it’d be perfect.”
Lin Zhao sent the message with a blank expression and muttered, “Keep dreaming.”
The last sentence in the message was a request for Jiang Li not to tell Wen Wan about this, because Wen Wan would undoubtedly stay mad at him otherwise. Lin Zhao had known Jiang Li for nearly three months and knew she wasn’t the type to stir up unnecessary drama, so he was sure she wouldn’t show Wen Wan the message.
“As expected of my good bro. Thanks!” Tong Yi patted Lin Zhao on the shoulder.
Lin Zhao: “…”
Good bro? More like coerced bro!
…
During the evening self-study, Jiang Li felt her phone vibrate. She checked it and saw a message from Lin Zhao. After reading it, she raised an eyebrow slightly, musing—‘Tong Yi and Lin Zhao are truly something else. Such a simple matter, and yet they had to go over the way to complicate it.’
Thus, instead of trying to figure out their convoluted logic, Jiang Li decided she’d rather spend her time reading a few more pages of her textbook.
…
The incident with the kidney-robbing trio quickly made headlines, drawing widespread attention and shooting to the top of trending topics across the internet.
Previously, Jiang Ruo had faced backlash when it was revealed she was the child of a mistress. Her mother had swapped her for the wife’s child, abandoning the latter at an orphanage. This revelation caused Jiang Ruo to lose most of her fans on live streaming platforms, with many even turning against her. However, a small number of fans argued it wasn’t Jiang Ruo’s fault—she couldn’t choose her birth circumstances, and she’d been just a baby when her mother swapped her. The real culprits were her scumbag parents, and Jiang Ruo shouldn’t have to pay for their sins.
As for the Jiang family’s efforts to convince Jiang Li to donate her kidney for Jiang Ruo, some sympathized with Jiang Ruo, reasoning she was only trying to survive. After all, she was barely an adult and had every right to fear death. Besides, Jiang Li hadn’t donated her kidney, so Jiang Ruo wasn’t as terrible as people had made her out to be.
What’s more, the topic quickly gained attention because the wife of Jiang Ruo’s father had bought a lot of hashtags to make it trending. After discovering her husband’s betrayal, she likely harbored resentment against the child she had raised. Whether her public statements were biased or exaggerated, only those directly involved would know.
As such, this small group of loyal fans continued to defend Jiang Ruo regardless of public opinion. Even after she stopped streaming, they remained her fans.
But the kidney-robbing incident caused even these remaining fans to disappear, with some going as far as deleting their accounts.
This time, no one believed Jiang Ruo was innocent. Given the severity of the crime committed by Jiang Zhou and Bai Guolin, it was implausible that Jiang Ruo was entirely unaware of their actions.
The comments section under the trending topics was filled with harsh criticism of Jiang Ruo and the trio. Some people even created jokes and memes mocking them.
Although the case had not yet reached the court, public opinion had already condemned Jiang Ruo, convinced that she and the trio deserved their fate.
…
In a certain place in Beijing, a cleaner named Liu Hui was diligently working her job. Overhearing nearby discussions about the trending news, she perked up her ears and listened. What she heard left her pale with shock.
Recalling how she’d once been invited to a supposed bone marrow match, she shuddered. She’d felt regretful when the match failed, but now she realized it wasn’t about bone marrow at all—it had been a kidney match.
If the match had succeeded, she’d have been as good as dead, because not everyone was as lucky as the young man who managed to report the incident in time. Her odds likely wouldn’t have been as favorable.
Gripping her broom tightly, Liu Hui resolved to be more cautious in the future and avoid being deceived so easily again.
…
After the trio’s arrest, Feng Qi was promptly informed by his assistant.
“Another group tailing Bai Guolin was dispatched by the Tong family’s second young master, Tong Yi. His purpose is similar to ours, so when our people saw his making a move, we held back.” The assistant reported.
Hearing Tong Yi’s name, Feng Qi raised an eyebrow; he hadn’t expected such initiative from that kid.
Noticing Feng Qi’s silence, the assistant cautiously added, “Third Master, Tong Yi’s involvement works in our favor. Jiang Zhou, after all, is the Eldest Miss’s son. If the old master learns you have set up a trap for him…”
Feng Qi raised his eyelids slightly, “Me, setting up a trap?”
“No, no, Third Master, of course you didn’t! It was those three scumbags who dug their own graves. You just… added a shovelful of dirt…”
“You’re wrong,” Feng Qi interrupted. “It was Tong Yi who pushed them into the graves they had dug and shoveled the dirt. We didn’t do a thing.”
The assistant: ”…”
As expected of the Third Master—such a brilliant move!
Tong Yi was an outsider after all, so even if the old master learned of his involvement, it wouldn’t be a problem.
