Chapter 355: Chapter 266 Unveiling the Truth_2
Guo Kun Nan spoke from the bottom of his heart:
"Brothers, I feel sorry for Ah Cha."
Ma Shicheng asked, "What are you planning to do?"
He had already anticipated Guo Kun Nan’s next words.
As expected, Guo Kun Nan said, "I’m thinking of spending eighty yuan to buy all her tea so she can rest early."
Dan Kaiquan took a big swig of rice wine, clanging his glass down:
"Brother Nan is a real man!"
Ma Shicheng asked again, "You can buy all the tea today and let her rest early, but what about tomorrow?"
"And the day after tomorrow?"
Guo Kun Nan replied, "Life is long, I only care about the present moment."
"I’ve tasted the bitterness of life, I don’t want Ah Cha to experience it."
Convinced, Ma Shicheng wondered if online romance was really that tempting.
He thought Guo Kun Nan was deeply ’poisoned’ and now he had to make a move!
Ma Shicheng gave Wang Longlong a meaningful look, the two coordinating in silent understanding, and Wang Longlong immediately caught on.
Ma Shicheng, although he could act on his own, often found it too blunt.
If he worked with Longlong, it might produce an unexpected effect.
While Guo Kun Nan was indulging in self-intoxication, Wang Longlong suddenly said,
"A few days ago, someone added me on QQ claiming to be my middle school classmate, asking to borrow money."
Dan Kaiquan commented, "Adding you just to borrow money is a bit much. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t lend it."
Hu Jun said, "For me, it would depend on what our relationship was like. I used to have good friends from middle school, but unfortunately, I don’t have their mobile numbers, and I can’t contact them now."
Ma Shicheng played along: "How much did they ask to borrow?"
Wang Longlong replied, "Not much, just fifty yuan. Though it’s a small amount, I definitely couldn’t lend it carelessly."
"Fifty is not a small sum," Guo Kun Nan said. Fifty yuan was nearly half a week’s living expenses for him.
Wang Longlong continued, "To prove it was my classmate, I asked him to send me a photo."
Ma Shicheng suggested, "Actually, you could have had him tell you about middle school. If it didn’t match up, then it would be fake."
"I didn’t think that much at the time, seeing is believing," said Wang Longlong.
"In the end, he was reluctant to send a photo, and the more I thought about it, the more things seemed off. Finally, I thought of a way and confirmed he wasn’t my classmate."
Dan Kaiquan was curious, "What way?"
Wang Longlong explained, "I don’t know if you’ve heard, but now online there are people using codes to create web page scripts. If you click the link, it grants access to your phone’s camera, directly capturing and uploading a photo."
"I sent the link to my classmate, he clicked on it to check, and immediately I saw his photo on my side, and he was not my classmate at all, someone was posing!"
"Fortunately, I tested it beforehand, or I might have just lent out fifty yuan," Wang Longlong expressed in a manner as if he had narrowly escaped disaster, acting as though it had really happened.
He secretly thought, ’Brother Ma, how many points would you give for my acting?’
Dan Kaiquan pondered for a few seconds, suddenly glancing at Guo Kun Nan, and he suddenly had an epiphany:
"Right, Brother Nan, don’t you want to use this thing to see what your girlfriend looks like?"
Ma Shicheng thought to himself that Kaiquan was really useful, not needing to do anything himself.
Upon hearing this, Guo Kun Nan was displeased:
"Do you think Ah Cha is a scammer?"
"I’ve already seen her photo— she would never deceive me."
"Ah Cha is a child from the mountains, living with her grandparents."
Dan Kaiquan waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I didn’t mean anything by it, I’m thinking of your best interests, don’t you want to see your girl’s bare face?"
Guo Kun Nan firmly refused:
"Impossible. I am not that kind of person."
Wang Longlong chimed in, "I’ve heard that girls’ bare faces and their beautified selfies are completely different."
Guo Kun Nan declared, "I trust Ah Cha."
He was a man with principles, determined not to invade anyone’s privacy lightly.
Ma Shicheng said, "I know that website. It seems it’s going to be suspended soon for violations. Longlong, do you know when it’ll be suspended?"
Wang Longlong played along well, "I remember it’s shutting down at midnight tonight—such a pity."
Upon hearing this, Dan Kaiquan became anxious:
"Brother Nan, Brother Nan, you have less than an hour left, your last chance."
Guo Kun Nan’s expression indeed changed; his mind was flooded with mixed thoughts. After struggling for a long time, he couldn’t resist the temptation:
"Longlong, send me the link to the website."
Wang Longlong quickly took the phone from Ma Shicheng, logged into QQ, and privately sent the website link to Guo Kun Nan.
"Brother Nan, try clicking it to see if it works," said Wang Longlong.
As soon as Guo Kun Nan clicked on his side, a photo promptly appeared on Wang Longlong’s side, which he showed to the brothers.
Dan Kaiquan clicked his tongue in amazement, "It really captured Brother Nan’s photo, impressive."
Hu Jun exclaimed, "It’s useful; send me one too."
Once Guo Kun Nan confirmed it worked, he took a deep breath, suddenly feeling anxious.
Wang Longlong urged, "Are you going to use it?"
Guo Kun Nan tentatively asked, "Really use it?"
Ma Shicheng didn’t care, "It’s up to you, Longlong said the website is about to shut down, you don’t need it either."
Dan Kaiquan, "The only opportunity."
Wang Longlong, "Go ahead and use it. If it captures something that shouldn’t be, we won’t look."
"Then I’m going to find Ah Cha."
Guo Kun Nan typed with trembling hands,
"Ah Cha, what are you up to?"
Ah Cha, "I’m selling tea here, it’s so hard to sell, I’m so sleepy, really want to sleep."
Guo Kunnan thought to himself, I’ll buy all your tea in a second, don’t worry Ah Cha.
He sent a message, "I found an interesting website."
With a shaky hand, he pasted the URL into the chat box, hesitated for half a second, and clicked send.
Right after sending, he felt guilty, Ah Cha so pure, so trusting of him, yet he had resorted to such despicable actions.
He was a scoundrel, a rat in the darkness!
Unworthy of the pure Ah Cha.
Seeking psychological comfort, Guo Kunnan quickly asked his good brothers,
"Guys, what I did wasn’t right, was it?"
Wang Longlong, "What’s done is done."
Dan Kaiquan, "Hurry up and check the photos."
Guo Kunnan’s sense of guilt lessened slightly; he looked forward to his phone with anticipation.
The next second, 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Guo Kunnan’s eyes bulged at the screen, his body shaking rigidly as if on springs.
Then he slowly calmed down, becoming completely stupefied, losing all expression.
He sat as still as a dead tree.
"Brother Nan, Brother Nan?" Dan Kaiquan waved his hand in front of him.
"Brother Nan, snap out of it."
"Bang!" Guo Kunnan’s phone dropped onto the table.
Dan Kaiquan, Wang Longlong, Hu Jun, all turned to glance at the screen.
It was night, the light dim, no need to worry about glare from the phone.
And so they saw, a face of a disheveled man.
Dan Kaiquan exclaimed in shock, pointing at the phone:
"Brother Nan, you’re in an online romance with a man!"
...
Night, eleven o’ clock.
River dam.
In Jiang Ning’s bedroom, the light flickered, emitting intense noises.
Xue Yuantong curled up in her exclusive throne, gripping the controller, her dark eyes fixed on the 24-inch monitor in front of her.
Jiang Ning reclined on the couch, clutching a book.
From his angle, he could clearly see Xue Yuantong’s slightly damp hair falling loosely.
After eating fruit, Xue Yuantong had taken a shower, and because her hair was still wet and inconvenient for sleeping, she came to play in Jiang Ning’s room, waiting for her hair to dry.
Jiang Ning found her annoying, so he turned on the game console for her to play.
Xue Yuantong was now completely immersed in it.
"Wuwuwu, Jiang Ning, the vibration feels so comfortable."
"How can it be that comfortable?"
Xue Yuantong squeezed the controller, which vibrated continuously with her attacks, providing tactile feedback.
She was holding the latest PS4 console controller.
Jiang Ning asked, "When do you plan to go to sleep?"
Xue Yuantong, "Don’t rush me, wait until I finish this level."
She maneuvered the female character to a new level, facing hordes of extremely vicious bandits armed with submachine guns, relentlessly attacking.
However, Xue Yuantong, controlling the female character, showed no fear; she drew her bow and arrow, shooting arrow after arrow, slaughtering enemies in all directions, undefeated.
She was invincible!
The enemies rushed at Xue Yuantong in greater numbers.
Bright lights twinkled in Xue Yuantong’s eyes as she proudly shouted,
"Jiang Ning, why do I become calmer the more dangerous it gets? When I see something terrifying, far from being scared, I want to annihilate them, destroy them completely!"
Jiang Ning put down his book, drawling, "Because you’re holding a controller."
