NOVPUB"So is that why you all came here to see me?"
Yue Ran supported her chin with one hand and raised her eyes. There was an unfathomable sense of leisure in her expression that made Rui Qin's teeth itch with hatred.
"Do you guys really think that I would ask someone to kidnap Rui Qin?"
Yue Ran pursed her lips; her shoulders trembled.
She couldn't keep it in anymore.
Tilting her head back, her face contorted into one full of joy, and the sound of laughter echoed inside the silent private room.
"This is so funny!" Yue Ran laughed again and wiped a tear from the corner of her eye.
The female protagonist's kidnapping incident happened even without Yue Ran's intervention. Naturally, this drama was a self-acted and self-directed play by the female protagonist, Rui Qin, herself.
The three male protagonists were a little panicked when they heard of the female protagonist's unfortunate circumstance. The three then braved fire and water to save Rui Qin from these kidnappers.
When Rui Qin was rescued by the three men, the kidnappers were also arrested on the spot.
Under severe "torture"—questioning—the kidnappers all confessed that it was all Yue Ran's fault and confessed that it was Yue Ran herself who hired them to do the dirty deed.
No matter how they asked or pressed for more answers, no one changed their words.
They were all being so consistent and firm at this point that it was bordering on suspicious.
Jin Yao personally did not believe Yue Ran would or could do such a thing; however, the police had already intervened in this kidnapping case, and all evidence pointed to Yue Ran as the perpetrator!
So how could Yue Ran still be laughing after listening to their explanations? It was as if she had heard the greatest joke of her life.
When looking at Yue Ran's reaction, the female protagonist, Rui Qin, could hardly maintain her saddened expression anymore.
"Do you guys actually believe that I caused this farce?"
Yue Ran grinned, her eyes forming shallow crescents.
This time, it was Jin Yao, unsurprisingly, who had called Yue Ran out to a five-star hotel bar's private room. Rui Qin came with obvious reasons—to persecute Yue Ran and get rid of her competition. Jiang Yi and Yang Chi only tagged along since they were also involved in the case and were worried about the situation that Yue Ran found herself in.
The five sat around a round table, and Yue Ran, who was stared at by four pairs of eyes, didn't look flustered at all; she looked rather relaxed and comfortable. It was as if she were just enjoying a leisurely outing on a bright and beautiful day.
Yue Ran cast a playful glance at Rui Qin.
"Rui Qin, you do believe me, right?"
The ridicule in her eyes was obvious.
Yue Ran only planned to piss the female protagonist off for fun because, why not?
Rui Qin secretly scolded Yue Ran in her heart, but she still put on a worried look on her face.
"Of course I believe you, but the police are only looking at the evidence they found."
"Evidence?" Tilting her head, Yue Ran chuckled. "Are you talking about the barks of crazy dogs?"
Her eyes were focused straight on Rui Qin. It was obvious to whom one of the "crazy dogs" in her words referred.
Rui Qin gritted her teeth with hatred.
The three male protagonists were not aware of the unfriendly exchange between the two women.
"Yue Ran, we are only doing this for your own good now," Yang Chi said. "As long as you apologize to Rui Qin, this matter will be over."
Yang Chi's thought was simple.
As long as the victim, Rui Qin, does not pursue the case any longer, then there would be no need for Yue Ran to go to jail.
An apology would be able to solve everything.
But Yue Ran's attitude toward his suggestion was not what Yang Chi had expected.
"Apologize?"
Yue Ran sneered at the suggestion.
So naive!
As if the female protagonist would ever let her go after taking a bite of her so aggressively!
Her sharp eyes swept over to Yang Chi, making him feel inexplicably guilty in his heart.
She then glanced around, but Jiang Yi and Jin Yao had the same reaction as Yang Chi: they dared not meet her eyes.
Now the problem was not that Yue Ran actually did the crime or not, but that the group of barking kidnappers had continuously insisted that it was Yue Ran who had hired them. And thus, the three male protagonists had no choice but to call on Yue Ran to apologize to Rui Qin so that the case would be closed.
Letting Yue Ran ask for Rui Qin's forgiveness is the quickest and most effective way to solve the current problem.
"Yue Ran, if it is really you, you can just admit it, and I won't blame you," Rui Qin said gently, looking like a kind and gentle big sister who would readily forgive her little sister's mistake, even if that mistake had caused her great harm.
Ruan Ruan: Shameless!
Yue Ran inwardly rolled her eyes; disgust was overflowing in her heart.
Although Rui Qin uttered this sentence, her heart was not at all at peace at this time.
What was with these three men? Why are they so blatantly helping Yue Ran in and out after even knowing that Yue Ran had "harmed" her?
Just thinking about these pisses her off!
Yue Ran! She will never let her go!
These three men should've been her own! How could she let Yue Ran sink her claws into them and take their attention away?
Even if Yue Ran apologizes to her, she will almost certainly make her vanish from the face of the earth!
Rui Qin's eyes flashed fiercely.
"Ruan Ruan, is everything prepared?" Yue Ran leisurely asked her system in her mind.
"Ready, Master!" Ruan Ruan chirped. "The recording could be sent anywhere at any time!"
"Very good, Ruan Ruan."
Ruan Ruan twirled around in the system space, feeling a little bashful at his master's compliment.
What Yue Ran was looking for was not a recording from a surveillance video but a clear recording, which was Ruan Ruan's life broadcast, with a clear quality video with little to no blur and the highest quality audio enhancement.
"Since you all want me to apologize so badly, how about switching the antagonists, hmm?" Yue Ran smiled and took the TV remote in her hand.
None of the people present could understand what kind of show Yue Ran was playing at the moment.
With a click, Rui Qin immediately changed her face.
Rui Qin: !!!
Jiang Yi: !
Jin Yao: !
Yang Chi: !
