Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1595: Chapter 1595: Wu Di of the Black Antis (26)

Chuzheng gently stroked An Ji’s back a few times, and An Ji’s trembling body slowly calmed down.

He leaned against Chuzheng without speaking, and Chuzheng could hardly hear his breathing.

Chuzheng wanted to let go and check, but An Ji suddenly hugged her tightly.

Chuzheng freed up one hand, took out her phone, and logged into Weibo.

An Ji’s latest Weibo post was already overwhelmed, with many people flocking to watch the drama.

An Ji hadn’t managed his followers much, so the fans were scattered when faced with such issues.

”Can I have my phone back, please?”

An Ji’s voice suddenly sounded, a bit hoarse.

”Stop looking.” Chuzheng boldly accepted responsibility: ”I’ll take care of it.”

An Ji seemed not to have heard those words and stubbornly said: ”I want to see.”

He wanted to see...

What those people were saying.

”What’s there to see?” Chuzheng helped him up, her tone cold: ”Go back to your room and sleep, you don’t need to worry about this.”

An Ji’s eyes were faintly red, and his amber eyes seemed to be covered with mist, making people feel particularly distressed.

Chuzheng wasn’t like ordinary people; she didn’t indulge him at all, pulling him back into the room and pressing him onto the bed.

Roughly shouting, ”Hurry up and sleep.”

”I...” How was he supposed to handle that matter? He couldn’t do nothing. He struggled to speak: ”How can I sleep?”

Chuzheng calmly took charge of the situation: ”Leave it to me to handle.”

”You?” An Ji looked puzzled: ”How... will you handle it?”

Would his explanation still be useful now?

Besides...

It was originally the truth.

Chuzheng didn’t care: ”That’s for me to think about. What you need to do now is sleep.”

An Ji murmured: ”But...”

How could he fall asleep? Even if he closed his eyes, he seemed to see those accusations.

Xiao San, illegitimate child...

These words kept swirling in his mind, making it hard for him to breathe.

-

Five minutes later.

Chuzheng sat nearby, her fingers touching An Ji’s hair, gently rubbing it.

An Ji hid under the blanket, initially blushing, but his thoughts started to sink again, feeling cold all over.

What should he do...

These matters weren’t slander; he couldn’t clarify them at all.

An Ji suddenly sat up, startling Chuzheng.

What’s the matter!

An Ji turned to meet Chuzheng’s gaze, the dim light falling along his smooth jawline, revealing a slim shoulder line.

An Ji took a deep breath, as if making up his mind: ”Everything said online is true... My mother is just like that, and I’m just an illegitimate child who doesn’t even know who his father is. Would you... despise me?”

The room was completely silent.

All An Ji could hear was his own heartbeat, like a drum, clear and loud.

An Ji feared people finding out about his past, but he also feared looking at Chuzheng after she knew those things.

If she thought it was his fault, just like those outside, what should he do?

An Ji didn’t know and could only hold his breath and wait.

Waiting for Chuzheng’s answer...

The girl gently touched his head, her tone light but unwavering: ”Sleep, be good.”

An Ji’s heart raced as he inexplicably lay back down.

So... does she not despise his background?

Chuzheng tucked him in, and An Ji watched her; Chuzheng didn’t avoid his gaze, directly meeting his eyes.

Chuzheng thought for a moment and asked him: ”Do you still want to...”

An Ji quickly closed his eyes.

Chuzheng sat next to him, looking at her phone, and didn’t leave.

An Ji kept his eyes shut, unable to sleep but also afraid to open them.

So he lay there, lost in thoughts, until eventually, he fell asleep.

Once Chuzheng confirmed An Ji was asleep, she took away anything in the room that could connect to the internet, then left the room.

After leaving, Chuzheng started making phone calls.

First, she had those things taken down from the internet, not knowing who did it, but a trending search had been bought.

An Ji was somewhat known as a writer; even if most people didn’t know him, they would click on such a headline, only increasing its attention.

The other party not only bought trending topics but also bought paid commenters.

Chuzheng spent money to remove the trending topic, then pushed some other news up to cover An Ji’s attention.

When there’s juicier drama, these netizens immediately abandon the previous one, turning to others.

By the time they think back, the trending topics about An Ji have mostly been removed.

However, there’s still quite a bit of discussion within the fan circle.

-

”The trending topic has been removed?”

Ren Qi jumped up when she heard this, her face mask looked a bit sinister.

”Who did this?” Ren Qi listened to the reply on the other end, reprimanding in a low voice: ”You don’t know? What are you people doing?”

Ren Qi angrily scolded, and the person on the other end didn’t dare say a word.

Finally, Ren Qi was too tired to scold and said: ”If it’s removed, push it again. I just don’t believe the person behind him has such patience!”

Ren Qi hung up the phone, ripping off her face mask, her eyes flashing as she flipped through the contacts and dialed a number.

It took a moment to connect on the other end: ”Hu Mei?”

-

Chuzheng looked through the information on her phone, with two pictures at the end.

A woman looked at the camera with seductive charm, wearing a swimsuit that barely covered her, with an exquisite figure many women would envy and men imagine.

The key was, Chuzheng had seen this person before.

Good Person Card, impressive!

Being found by such a beautiful woman, yet claiming there’s no issue!

Chuzheng only grumbled, not thinking too deeply, as she believed Good Person Card was always clean and wouldn’t do anything wrong.

Ren Qi...

Ren Qi’s father was in business, and it was said he was also involved in shady dealings before, later laundering and growing bigger.

The key was, Ren Qi’s father’s brothers had connections in high places.

Coincidentally, the people on Xiangyue’s side knew Ren Qi’s father and were on good terms.

Having money and power, targeting someone like An Ji, who is powerless and without status, wasn’t that easy?

Ren Qi...

Trying to mess with my person!

Chuzheng was contemplating how to handle... no, how to talk to them when a message came in.

[The information Ren Qi knows is provided by Hu Mei.]

The number is hidden; this was the private investigator recommended by Fei Xiu before.

Chuzheng paid a high price to have him investigate the matter overnight.

Hu Mei...

Mrs. An took her husband and took off with a house and quite a bit of savings; Hu Mei hates Mrs. An understandably.

But...

Targeting An Ji is a bit excessive, isn’t it?

Is my card something anyone can touch?

Chuzheng expressionlessly tapped on her phone keyboard, her fallen eyelashes hiding the coldness in her eyes.

[Do you have Hu Mei’s address?]

[Yes, three thousand.] The reply came quickly.

Chuzheng: ”...”

After transferring the money, the other party sent over an address.

Chuzheng went to An Ji’s room, took a look inside, felt a bit uneasy, found An Ji’s keys, and locked him in the room.
