Chapter 275 Venting
Chapter 275 Venting
After Hao Meigui's video was released by reporters, it quickly caused a huge uproar in Z City.
In this video, Hao Meigui deliberately created a misunderstanding between Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue, attempting to sow discord between the two.
However, Black Third Master—the mastermind behind it all—did not expect the video to cause such a huge reaction.
He originally hoped that this incident would cause Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue to fall out.
He hoped to achieve his goal, but things developed far beyond his expectations.
Hei Sanye sat in his office, gripping his phone tightly, seething with anger.
After the video was released, it did not proceed as planned, but instead attracted widespread public attention and questioning.
A flood of negative comments came at him, putting him under unprecedented pressure.
Meanwhile, Li Jinfeng felt very heavy-hearted after watching the video.
She dialed Qi Yuxuan's number, her voice trembling slightly:
"Yuxuan, are you alright? I just saw that video..."
Qi Yuxuan felt a pang in his heart when he heard his aunt's voice.
He knew how much Li Jinfeng cared for Qiu Ziyue and didn't want her to worry.
“Auntie, we are all fine. This is just a misunderstanding, and I have already spoken with Ziyue.”
He tried his best to make his voice sound calm and firm.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Yuxuan took a deep breath and decided to stop letting these rumors affect their lives.
He and Qiu Ziyue have been through too much together, and they won't be easily swayed by a single video.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Leng Feng and Zhao Wanqing also saw the video.
The two of them were filled with anger when they saw what was happening in the video.
Leng Feng clenched his fist and said to Zhao Wanqing:
"We can't let this go; we have to teach Hao Meigui a lesson."
Zhao Wanqing nodded, a resolute glint in her eyes:
"That's right, we've arranged a time to go to her house together."
The two quickly reached an agreement and decided to take action that very night.
As night fell, Leng Feng and Zhao Wanqing arrived at Hao Meigui's residence.
The doorbell rang, and Hao Meigui opened the door. When she saw the two people standing outside, her face instantly turned pale.
What do you want to do?
Hao Meigui's voice trembled slightly.
Leng Feng said coldly:
"Do you know why we've come to find you? Why are you doing this? What exactly do you want to achieve?"
Hao Meigui tried to explain, but Leng Feng and Zhao Wanqing didn't give her a chance at all.
Leng Feng stepped forward, grabbed Hao Meigui's wrist, and pushed her against the wall.
"Your behavior this time has gone too far. We must make you understand that not everything can be done casually."
Zhao Wanqing stood to the side, coldly watching Hao Meigui, her tone firm:
"If you dare to hurt Twilight Sparkle again, the consequences will be even more severe."
Hao Meigui felt a wave of fear; she knew she had indeed gone too far this time.
Faced with Leng Feng and Zhao Wanqing's questioning, she was speechless.
All they could do was bow their heads and admit their mistakes.
"I'm sorry... I was really wrong."
Hao Meigui said in a low voice.
Zhao Wanqing has always been a smart and meticulous person, and she knows very well why Hao Meigui dares to be so arrogant.
It was largely due to her beauty and confidence.
So, Zhao Wanqing came up with a special way to deal with Hao Meigui. She took out a bottle of anti-aging pills from her pocket.
Although Zhao Wanqing had already cured herself of the antidote to the anti-aging pill, she was still curious and successfully developed her own anti-aging pill under modern conditions.
"What is this?" Hao Meigui asked curiously.
Zhao Wanqing's expression turned serious:
"This is a 'Face-Aging Pill' developed based on an ancient formula. Once you take it, your appearance will age rapidly in a short period of time, making it impossible for you to gain attention through your beauty."
Hao Meigui's face turned pale instantly; she stared at the pill in disbelief.
"You're not really going to make me eat this, are you?"
Zhao Wanqing said with a smile, "Hao Meigui, with your fame and your shamelessness, this pill is definitely for you."
Leng Feng handed Zhao Wanqing a glass of water, and Zhao Wanqing lifted Hao Meigui's chin.
He quickly fed it to Hao Meigui and gave her a sip of water.
"You should take it obediently."
Zhao Wanqing said coldly:
“From now on, I will give you an antidote every week, but if you continue to sow discord and hurt the people around us, you will grow old and die. I will make you understand that beauty is not an eternal asset.”
Hao Meigui felt a surge of fear; she realized that Zhao Wanqing was serious.
She tried to defend herself:
“I…I just wanted them to separate, I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
Zhao Wanqing sighed:
"Now, you need to make a choice. Either work obediently for us and stop interfering in their lives, or grow old and die."
Hao Meigui was silent for a moment, then finally nodded:
"Okay, I promise you. I will stop all actions and will not hurt them again."
Zhao Wanqing put away the pills, her gaze resolute:
"I hope you remember your promise today. You can refuse the antidote."
After leaving Hao Meigui's house, Zhao Wanqing and Leng Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew that this threat, though somewhat extreme, was necessary.
They are willing to pay any price to protect Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan's happiness.
In the lobby of a hotel in Yangzhou, Qi Yuxuan anxiously inquired at the front desk, his heart filled with unease.
Qiu Ziyue's sudden disappearance made him extremely anxious, worried about her safety.
Finally, with the help of a young waiter, he got a clue.
"Sir, are you asking about Miss Qiu?"
The waiter asked politely.
"A tour guide just mentioned that she saw Ms. Qiu go to Daming Temple."
Qi Yuxuan's heart skipped a beat, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes:
"Daming Temple? Are you sure it's there?"
The waiter nodded: "Yes, the tour guide explained it very clearly. It seems that Miss Qiu wants to go to Daming Temple to pray for blessings."
Without further hesitation, Qi Yuxuan immediately turned around and strode towards Daming Temple with Xiao Zhuang.
A few white clouds drifted in the sky, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
Qi Yuxuan sat in the car, looking out the window at the street scene rushing by.
Modern Yangzhou is completely different from the ancient Yangzhou he remembers.
Skyscrapers stand tall, and the bustling commercial districts and crowds are dazzling.
The streets are bustling with traffic, and the neon lights flash with colorful lights, as if telling the story of the city's modernization process.
However, despite the tremendous changes in the city's appearance, Qi Yuxuan can still feel the historical charm flowing deep within the city.
Ancient buildings, traditional gardens, and cultural heritage that have been preserved to this day.
All of this reminds him of Yangzhou's long history and rich cultural heritage.
This stirred up a complex mix of emotions in him: he was pleased with the city's progress, yet he also missed the poetic ancient Yangzhou.
Finally, the car slowly drove into the area where Daming Temple is located.
After getting off the bus, Qi Yuxuan took a deep breath, as if he had been instantly transported to a different world.
Daming Temple still stands there quietly, the ancient temple witnessing countless changes over the years.
Yet it still maintains that tranquility and solemnity.
Upon entering Daming Temple, the first thing that catches the eye is the magnificent mountain gate.
The vermilion walls and the carved beams and painted rafters of the building exude a simple and elegant atmosphere.
The three large characters "Daming Temple" on the gate plaque are vigorous and powerful, inspiring awe.
"Qiu Ziyue, I'm here. You must wait for me."
