Chapter 40: Chapter 40: The Ancestor is a Curious Baby
Wen Zishu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, agreeing with the sentiment.
It was true that those women were after his money, money which he didn’t care much about, so he just treated it as playing around with them.
Even if it was a fleeting encounter that ended at dawn, he would still provide a substantial consolation fee.
This time, he had been swindled!
When he was playing games online, he got together with a CP, and since they got along so well online, they decided to meet in person after an internet romance.
He had thought it would at least be a brief romance.
But after agreeing to meet at a party, they went to a hotel together, and then the other person accused him of forcing her and even took photos, demanding money from him.
Wen Zishu laughed bitterly, having never encountered such a situation before.
In the past, the people he knew were all introduced to him through mutual friends from his own circle.
Presumably, they all knew he was wealthy and came for the money; after the fun, they took the money and left without hard feelings.
But this person he met online didn’t know about his family background and came with two men, one claiming to be her brother and the other her boyfriend.
They confronted him in his room with his photos, threatening that if he didn’t pay, they would ruin his reputation.
“I don’t care about the money. It’s just a few hundred thousand, but! This is a betrayal of my feelings! Master, you must find a way to bring her to justice, to give me the satisfaction!”
Jiangli blinked upon hearing Wen Zishu’s indignant words and asked after a while, “What’s a CP in gaming?”
She had heard from Xia Xin that mobile phones could be used to play games, but Xia Xin had not yet explained to her what a CP was.
Master, aren’t you focusing on the wrong thing?
The point isn’t what a CP is, it’s that I’ve been scammed!!!
Is the master even reliable anymore?
“That, that…” Xia Xin cleared his throat awkwardly and attempted to explain to Jiangli, “It’s, it means a couple within a game.”
Jiangli uttered an “Oh,” and then said, “Didn’t you tell me that games are fake, yet they can still produce couples?”
“Abbot, I will explain it to you later!” Xia Xin desperately tried to redirect Jiangli’s focus, “Please look at his issue first.”
Jiangli collected herself and asked, “How do you want to get even?”
“I, of course, want them to go to jail and return the money to me,” Wen Zishu said with some hesitation in his voice.
He had genuinely felt that Jiangli might be able to help him.
But having met with Jiangli, he suddenly realized that maybe the master was a bit too sketchy…
He was now unsure whether he should continue seeking Jiangli’s help.
“This isn’t too difficult,” Jiangli asked him, “Do you have any recent images of her?”
Wen Zishu was taken aback at these words.
“You mean, a photo!” Xia Xin hastily added, then whispered to Jiangli, “We don’t use painted images here; we use photos now. I’ll explain what photos mean to you later!”
Then, Jiangli nodded in understanding.
Hearing this, Wen Zishu became even more hesitant about whether to proceed.
At this moment, Fu Shiyan spoke up, “Show it.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Zishu scratched his cheek and took out his phone, which indeed had photos of the woman.
He had planned to expose the woman’s photos to ruin her reputation and let everyone know her true nature.
But he had yet to act on it.
“Modern images are quite impressive; they look almost real,” Jiangli muttered after seeing the woman’s photo, expressing her admiration.
Then, she said calmly, “She seems to be a seasoned professional, and this isn’t her first time doing such a thing. Moreover, judging by her wealth palace—that is, her nose—being excessively sharp and the black mole beside it, she has extreme misfortune concerning money. She must be in desperate need of money recently and will likely continue these tactics. If you want to take revenge, you might want to find her whereabouts and monitor her movements. Report her to the authorities when she commits a crime again; that should do it.”
