Chen Xixi furrowed her brows slightly, falling silent for a moment in reflection: âDo you know that âmystery manâ?â
Zheng He: âI donât know him, but his Money was scammed from me! After he scammed my Money, he transferred it to you, so you have to give me a share of the Money you received!â
The police still donât know when they will be able to clear the investigation, and return the Money to him through the platform.
He canât just sit and wait, watching Chen Xixi win in the show with his Money; he has to figure out a way to get the Money back from Chen Xixi himself!
Chen Xixi narrowed her eyes slightly, digesting this information, âDid you report it to the police?â
âAlready did, let me tell you, those Over 5,000 yuan were hard-earned by begging! You canât just swallow it yourself! If you donât give it to me, I will report that you are in cahoots with the scammer!â Zheng He threatened fiercely.
Combining what Zheng He said, Chen Xixi guessed that the person who gifted her was probably the fortune-telling old man.
Chen Xixi leaned her elbow on the armrest of the chair, supporting her chin with her palm, her expression indifferent, showing no sign of being threatened; she slowly curved her lips: âThen go ahead and report it, but just a reminder, filing a false police report can have legal consequences.â
Zheng He, gaining a new piece of legal knowledge and realizing his threat was ineffective, immediately changed his tone: âAnyway, Iâm the victim, you canât take the victimâs Money! You have to give me the Money!â
Chen Xixi stated seriously: âI indeed canât take this Money, but I also canât give it directly to you because the police are involved now. I must return it via the platform following the policeâs instructions and undergo proper legal procedures.â
If she now privatized the transferred gift Money to Zheng He without police verification, what if Zheng He, behaving unpredictably, later blackmails her for more Money when the police traces it?
With Zheng Heâs character, anything is possible.
Zheng He quickly spoke: âThat wonât work, by the time the police track it down, the show might be finished, and if you win by then, wouldnât that mean you used my Money to win? Wouldnât that be letting you off too easily? You have to give me the Money today!â
Zheng He clutched the car window with both hands, hindering the car from moving normally, determined to fight Chen Xixi to the end, causing Chen Xixi to shake her head helplessly.
She glanced at the time, it was nearly two in the morning, she lazily yawned, âItâs too late today, how about this, tomorrow morning letâs go to the police station together, and Iâll transfer all the Money I received to you in front of the police.â
Zheng He immediately smiled smugly, âThatâs more like it. Youâre not trying to trick me, right?â
Chen Xixi smiled a bit: âOf course not, am I that kind of person? But speaking of which, if you want to change your fate, you donât really need to go through such trouble to find unreliable fortune tellers, I can change your fate for you.â
Zheng He appeared to hear the biggest joke, suddenly laughing a few times, his eyes filled with scorn while looking at Chen Xixi: âYou? Change my fate? Are you treating me like a fool? Let me tell you, deceived once, I wonât be fooled by the same trick twice!â
This time Zheng He indeed learned his lesson, he absolutely wouldnât give any chance to anyone coveting his property again!
Moreover, he wonât give netizens another chance to mock him!
Todayâs Chosen One has become his nightmare, this phrase has become his derogatory nickname online, and it made him feel terrible.
Before he participated in the variety show, the scene he imagined was nothing like this â he thought it would be him dominating the variety show, worshiped by the whole Internet, becoming a god-like figure, not like now, becoming a foolish figure.
In the upcoming days, he must vindicate himself, he truly isnât a fool!
Chen Xixi: âMine is different, my method is very reliable, itâs just the price is a bit high, I guess you definitely canât afford it, never mindâ¦â
Zheng He cast a skeptical glance over Chen Xixiâs face, Chen Xixi having such capabilities?
He didnât believe it.
Although he was slightly curious, he would definitely not fall in the same place twice!
[Could Chen Xixi really tell fortunes? Is it true? Is she that amazing?]
[Chen Xixi spoke of changing fate, not divining it. Iâm a bit curious about her methods now!]
[Zheng He is really going crazy for money, he even directly threatened Chen Xixi, itâs too much!]
After Chen Xixi left, Han Qianyi, who still hadnât met Jiang Xingze in person, also left with regret.
On the way back, Han Qianyiâs expression never improved.
Because Chen Xixi was the top in popularity tonight, and her popularity grew at an unprecedented rate, it must be due to leveraging Jiang Xingzeâs popularity.
If this continues, her dream of becoming a star would truly be over. With just ten days left in the program, she needed to seize the opportunity, otherwise the future Oscar-winning actress would be Chen Xixi!
Zheng He suddenly spoke: âDo you know what Chen Xixi just told me?â
Although feeling depressed, Han Qianyi couldnât help asking when it came to Chen Xixi, âWhat did she say?â
After all, understanding more about her rival would help in finding opportunities to turn the situation around.
Zheng He said amusingly: âShe said she can change fate, and that it would require a greatly significant sacrifice, which even I couldnât afford. Donât you think sheâs joking! Just her, changing fate? Really boastful!â
Han Qianyi: âDid she really say that?â
âOf course.â
A smile suddenly appeared on Han Qianyiâs face: âSo she is that amazing? I also wish to change my fate. Iâll find her tomorrow to try, and Iâm willing to bear any cost for it.â
Zheng He turned to look at Han Qianyi, feeling she was even sillier than him, âDo you really believe her? If she had that ability, she would have changed her own fate to become rich long ago. Why would she compete in this show for five million? Only naive people like you would believe her nonsense!â
Han Qianyi: âThat might not be the case, her abilities in the show are there for everyone to see. I think she definitely wonât deceive us.â
Han Qianyi didnât really believe Chen Xixi could change fate.
She just wanted to purposefully hype Chen Xixi up high now, and then see how she would dramatically fail and crash.
By saying so, Zheng He, who had been curious initially, became a bit more spirited, but he decided to let Han Qianyi test the waters first before he made any decisions.
However, the event of Chen Xixi volunteering today did give Zheng He a good idea.
The very next morning, Zheng He and Chen Xixi met at the police station. In the presence of the police, Chen Xixi handed over the 3888 yuan she received from the scammer to the police. The remaining discrepancy would be handled by the police with the platform, which was no longer her concern.
With part of the money recovered, Zheng He felt a sudden lift in his spirits.
He walked out of the police station with a light step, turning to Han Qianyi behind him and saying, âStop following me because the next thing Iâm going to do is not suitable for a girl like you to be involved in.â
âWhat are you going to do?â
Zheng He straightened his collar and proudly curled his lips up: âContribute to scientific research!â
