I’ve Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show
Chapter 356 - 349: Such a Vicious Revenge Scheme!
CHAPTER 356: CHAPTER 349: SUCH A VICIOUS REVENGE SCHEME!
Zheng He was slightly stunned, then laughed: "Revenge? Why would anyone bother to take revenge on me!"
He had been very honest lately.
Besides, the person who sent him the message was his childhood friend, why would his childhood friend want to take revenge on him?
Chen Xixi was definitely up to something!
Otherwise, why would Chen Xixi actively call him?
It was very suspicious!
At this moment, Zheng He was still very cautious and alert.
Chen Xixi said, "The one who deceived you to go to North City to have your kidney harvested seems to be your childhood friend, but in reality, those people deliberately set a trap for you."
Zheng He was a bit confused.
A trap set for him? Was it Brother Ao Long who was after the five million in his hands?
But he remembered that Brother Ao Long was also surprised when they first met.
Besides Brother Ao Long, who else could maliciously take revenge on him and set him up?
Zheng He couldn’t figure it out, so he frowned and asked, "Can you explain clearly what you mean?"
"Do you remember the last time you reported the bar at the provincial money-saving variety show and ended up being retaliated by the bar?"
Chen Xixi hadn’t mentioned this, and Zheng He had almost forgotten to settle accounts with Chen Xixi!
He couldn’t help but roar irritably, "You still have the nerve to mention that! Was it you who reported that Muse Bar afterward? Was it because you shifted the blame onto me that I got beaten up!"
Chen Xixi seriously said, "How could it be me? Am I that kind of person?"
Zheng He laughed angrily, "Who else could it be but you!"
"Don’t forget there were a lot of other people present at that time."
"There were a lot of people, but President Zhou wouldn’t do such a thing, Jin Cheng wouldn’t have the brain for it, and then there’s the bar owner who certainly wouldn’t report himself!"
"Yes, but there were also a lot of young girls present, right? Maybe one of them was a police undercover agent fishing for evidence. Think about it, you were there the whole time, did you hear me make a call to report to the police?
Zheng He had indeed been present the entire time because there was a sudden power outage in the bar later, and he had been walking around that area the whole time without leaving. He heard some people talking, but it seemed that no one mentioned calling the police.
At this moment, Zheng He suddenly started to doubt himself.
Could it really be that it wasn’t Chen Xixi who reported? Did he misunderstand Chen Xixi?
"So what are you trying to say?" Zheng He felt it was still necessary to listen to what Chen Xixi had to say next before deciding whether to believe her or not.
Chen Xixi seriously said, "The owner of that bar and the people who lured you to North City are in cahoots, their purpose was to deceive you out of your money and kidney."
This was revealed to Chen Xixi by Zhou Jinyuan last night, and only then did Chen Xixi realize that the Xu Family had such complex forces behind them.
The Xu Family had been very cautious in their cooperation with the Bai Family over the years, making it hard for anyone to grasp any handle against them.
After all, after so many years in the mix, if they easily showed flaws, wouldn’t they be toppled in minutes?
However, it’s not that there were no ways to handle this; at this time some tactics were needed.
After listening, Zheng He suddenly felt his head itch, as if his brain was growing.
If what Chen Xixi said was true, then his being lured to North City was actually Xu Nianying, the bar owner, taking revenge on him, misunderstanding that he was the one who reported the bar?
Zheng He furrowed his brows: "But the last time the police investigated this matter clearly and brought the bar manager to mediate with me, I already explained that it wasn’t me who reported them. How could they still want to retaliate against me?"
"You also demanded a large sum for medical and mental damages afterward, didn’t you?"
"..." Zheng He fell silent for a moment, was it because he claimed a large amount of money that they wanted to get it back?
After all, the unscrupulous boss couldn’t swallow his pride, and it was very likely that he might seek revenge.
Just like how he misunderstood that I reported the bar, and immediately sent someone to teach me a lesson.
This unscrupulous boss is really outrageous, even more so than him who skirts the law... No, he only skirts the law, but that unscrupulous boss has crossed the line!
A few seconds later, Zheng He suddenly realized something and asked cautiously, "How do you know I received money?"
Chen Xixi knew about this because she heard it from the police when she received the whistleblower’s reward.
But Chen Xixi certainly couldn’t say that, as it would ruin her opportunity to manipulate Zheng He.
"President Zhou told me. Remember, President Zhou was also there that day, and he knows the bar owner. President Zhou casually mentioned to me yesterday, including how the bar owner tricked you and lured you to North City.
As she spoke, Chen Xixi became more and more indignant. "I was really shocked when I heard this. Although we had some minor disagreements on the show, that owner collaborating with bad people to harm others, even more innocent people, is just wicked, much worse than you, and I couldn’t stand it!"
Zheng He, busy analyzing the crucial information, momentarily overlooked the "worse than him" comment.
He puzzledly said, "That doesn’t make sense either. Didn’t Xu Nianying also report that gang? Would he report his own people? That would be foolish! If he truly wanted to retaliate against me, he should have let those people scam all my money, why bother saving me?"
Chen Xixi sighed deeply and said earnestly, "Silly boy, it was me who sent Xu Mu to report and save you. I was afraid of being retaliated against like you, so I didn’t dare tell you."
Zheng He exclaimed in shock, "It was really you who saved me? Then why are you only telling me now?"
He had thought that Xu Mu participated in the Haisong Group’s charity event, which is why he brought people to rescue him!
It seems his four thousand yuan were well spent, and Chen Xixi’s character is indeed very reliable!
"Because I saw which company you signed with now, I just couldn’t bear it. That company is also owned by the same bar owner, and them signing you now is probably an attempt to exact revenge, to figuratively ban you. If you want to terminate the contract or do not comply with the company’s decisions, then you have to pay a huge sum as a penalty for breach of contract! I really couldn’t stand it, so I wanted to warn you."
The bar owner’s industry too?
He had carefully reviewed the contract, and there was no mention of Haisong Group in it, how could they be related?
But there seemed no reason for Chen Xixi to lie about this as he could easily find out the relationship between Dingxin and Haisong just by inquiring a little.
That is to say, he is now sold to Dingxin Media for ten years, unable to make money, just a tool in the company, even worse than a tool, unable to leave until the contract ends, and by then his attractiveness will have faded, purely wasting his prime years!
Failed at scamming him, now they resorted to this despicable method to trap him!
Such a malicious plan of revenge!
Zheng He gritted his teeth in hatred, but a moment later, another thought struck him.
Could Chen Xixi be jealous that he also signed to become an artist, hence trying to meddle?
After all, he had just signed, and whether the company would actually interfere was unclear.
And Chen Xixi suddenly being so kind towards him felt very suspicious.
Zheng He retorted, "What if it’s not like you said?"
Chen Xixi confidently replied, "Then just wait a while, and see if the company assigns you any work. It’s not my time that’s being wasted anyway."
Zheng He decided to wait another week, and indeed, he did not receive any work at all!
Zheng He was dumbfounded!
Did Chen Xixi really hit the mark?!
