Chapter 41 Cash on delivery
Chapter 41 Cash on delivery
Having figured this out, Xue Yuting's demeanor changed, and she adopted the same communication style she used with paparazzi and thugs: "Opening a shop around here? That's not cheap. Do you have enough money?"
Xu Yuan sensed the change in the other person's style, but didn't take it to heart, nodding: "I don't have much cash on hand, but luckily I have friends to help me."
Xue Yuting's pupils contracted: "Oh? How much did your friend help?"
"Around 300,000? I didn't ask for the exact amount."
Hehe, you didn't ask?
It's as if they're rushing to pay for you.
is it possible?
Xue Yuting sneered.
Does that mean they should just give it to them as they see fit?
Do you think you can escape legal punishment by not asking for money or mentioning a specific amount?
"Your friend is really generous." Xue Yuting looked directly at Xu Yuan, her speech gradually slowing down. "Then thirty it is."
"Huh?" Xu Yuan was taken aback.
"What? You think it's not enough?"
"It's definitely not a small amount, but..."
"Since there's already a lot, let's stop here."
"?"
"I know you won't admit anything now, and we don't need any of that. My request is simple: cash on delivery."
"What goods?"
"Everything. Photos, videos, give them all to me. You can't keep any copies. You should be an old hand, you must know some lines can't be crossed, otherwise I guarantee you won't survive in this industry."
"Very imposing... Whose is it?"
"Of course it's Meizhi's." Xue Yuting was already indignant.
Judging from what this scumbag said, he actually has other people involved?
But then I thought, since Michi wasn't the first victim, and other people's scandals hadn't been exposed before, it at least meant that this person wouldn't try to have it both ways.
It was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes, finally understanding what was going on. He couldn't help but laugh, "Then wait a moment, I'll go get the video right away, but really, you don't need to pay..."
Xu Yuan originally wanted to explain, but judging from the other party's expression, it seemed that a logical loop had been formed, and nothing he said would work.
Let's just use "evidence" to explain everything and save ourselves the trouble of arguing.
"I know you haven't asked us for money. I know the rules." Xue Yuting acted like a boss closing down a gray-market business.
On the other side, Kim Mi-ji's eyes immediately reddened.
She looked at Xu Yuan with anger, fear, sadness, and... disappointment.
For an ice queen like her, it's not easy to develop feelings for someone, especially in such a short time.
And then you tell her that the person was actually a bad guy, that he deliberately approached her, and that he had ulterior motives?
This is so hurtful to my self-esteem.
Why is she an iceberg?
Isn't it just the fear of meeting the wrong person?
In the end, she still failed, and she failed more severely and miserably than the other girls.
In fact, this is indeed the current situation of ice queen beauties.
Those who can break through their unapproachable aura are no ordinary people.
Without ulterior motives, why would someone choose a more approachable and attractive woman when dating, all other things being equal?
Who wants to see you giving them the cold shoulder every day? Who wants to grovel and fawn over you?
The icy beauty, lacking experience, is unable to discern such ulterior motives and is easily deceived.
They went their separate ways.
When Xu Yuan left, Xue Yuting considered calling the police, since Jin Meizhi had recorded the conversation.
He was caught red-handed, leaving no room for excuses.
However, the amount was indeed within her budget, and since she hadn't received the video yet, she thought she'd wait and see.
As long as this guy didn't do *that* to Michi, I'll just give him the money; consider it a loss from buying funds and stocks.
A short while later, Xu Yuan returned.
He opened his phone and played a video from inside the car: "Many new energy vehicles now have in-car recording functions, and the U9's camera is even clearer."
I generally don't open it, especially when I'm with friends. But if it's someone I'm not that close to or in a situation that might cause misunderstandings, such as a man and a woman alone together, especially if the other person is asleep, I will open the records.
The video can be stored in the system for 30 days, after which it will be automatically destroyed.
If you come back to me in a month, I'm afraid I really won't be able to explain it.
Xue Yuting shrugged.
Can't explain it?
Pack!
His words were cautious, though.
He's definitely an expert.
In the video, Kim Mi-ji leans against the car door and gradually falls asleep, while Xu Yuan concentrates on driving.
Finally, the car arrived at the Ouli Sunshine underground parking lot.
After Xu Yuan parked the car, he called out to Jin Meizhi several times, and the sound was recorded very clearly.
Kim Mi-ji did not respond.
Xu Yuan gently patted Kim Mi-ji's shoulder with the back of his hand.
Touching someone with the back of your hand is a gesture to avoid suspicion when physical contact is unavoidable.
It's similar to making a fist when you turn your back to someone.
Kim Mi-ji still did not respond.
She even let out a few coquettish groans, almost as if she was about to throw a tantrum in bed.
In the room, Kim Mi-ji blushed.
She hadn't expected herself to react this way.
That's incredibly rude!
"Actually, according to big data statistics, girls with an 'ice queen' personality are more likely to be grumpy in the morning," Xu Yuan added, seeing through Kim Mi-ji's thoughts.
Xue Yuting, on the other hand, was very focused on the video itself.
So far there haven't been any problems, but perhaps later...
really!
In the video, Xu Yuan pressed a button, and Kim Mi-ji's seat began to recline.
This person is planning to do something bad!
Xue Yuting clenched her fists tightly.
She vowed that if Xu Yuan really did anything, like lifting her skirt or reaching into her bra, she would beat the man to death.
However, in the video, the man took a piece of clothing from the back seat, covered Kim Mi-ji with it, and then took out his laptop and left the car.
"There's footage from the dashcam outside the car, which I'll show later. The movement is seamless, there's no editing involved. If you don't believe me, you can have a professional analyze it," Xu Yuan added.
Fast forward the video; Kim Mi-ji was asleep the whole time, and even rolled over, but unfortunately she was trapped by the seatbelt and couldn't move.
Of course, the seatbelt did indeed create a clear line across Kim Mi-ji's chest.
The two mountain peaks are separated.
Xue Yuting and Jin Meizhi exchanged a glance. It was indeed not good for this video to be leaked, but it was completely different from what they had imagined.
Xu Yuan helped Kim Mi-ji lower the chair after she woke up.
Nothing happened at all.
call!
Xue Yuting and Jin Meizhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, this is the absolute best-case scenario.
But the next moment, their expressions turned awkward, because it meant... they had misunderstood the other person.
Good heavens!
Xue Yuting turned her head and slapped herself on the forehead, feeling incredibly embarrassed: "Xue Yuting, I told you to watch less crime dramas, look what you've done!"
This is terrible.
People who do good deeds are still wronged.
It's important to understand that accusations of sexual assault against women are extremely serious, especially on a moral level, almost reaching the pinnacle of legality.
In recent years, there have been several similar disputes, which have sparked huge social discussions and great dissatisfaction among men.
Xue Yuting and her friends are definitely not the kind of college girls who make up baseless accusations out of thin air, or who are just ordinary and confident and suspect someone of secretly filming them. Their actions were based on valid reasons, and their handling of the situation was limited to the three of them, without causing serious social consequences.
But... it is ultimately an insult to the other person's character.
This whole mess is making things worse; I'm afraid we won't be able to stay friends anymore.
