Chapter 132 Chu Yuwei is Undeterred: Lin Zhou, I Have Something on You
Lin Zhou had just put his phone in his pocket and hadn't even had a chance to pull his hand out when his pocket started vibrating as if it were electrified.
"Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—"
At that frequency, anyone who didn't know better would think he was carrying a small motor in his pocket.
Su Qingge was wiping the water droplets from her hair with a towel when she heard the noise and paused slightly.
She didn't speak, but her clear eyes swept over Lin Zhou's pocket, her gaze carrying a hint of a half-smile.
"That insurance salesman is pretty persistent?"
"If salespeople today had this kind of perseverance, they would surely make a fortune."
Lin Zhouqian chuckled twice, then had no choice but to take his phone out again.
"I guess they saw that I had extraordinary bone structure and insisted on teaching me the secret to getting rich."
He had just unlocked the screen and hadn't even had a chance to open it when Su Qingge had already leaned her head in.
A pleasant scent of shower gel instantly wafted into Lin Zhou's nose; it was the sea salt scent they often used, with a slightly cool undertone.
"I want to see which insurance company agent dares to harass a married man so late at night."
Su Qingge's voice was light and airy, yet it carried an undeniable sense of pressure.
Lin Zhou didn't intend to hide it.
Anyway, if you're upright, you have nothing to fear. The original owner's sycophantic nature is known throughout the internet, so what secrets could he possibly have?
The screen lights up.
Chu Yuwei's news was like dirty water bubbling up from the sewers.
No longer the nauseating sob stories of the past, this time the writing exudes a desperate, mad madness.
Lin Zhou, don't think you're so great just because you're famous now.
Have you forgotten what kind of person you used to be? Stop pretending to be a Casanova, stop pretending to be a perfect man!
【I have dirt on you, dirt that could ruin your reputation! If you're not afraid of Su Qingge seeing it, then go ahead and play dead!】
Lin Zhou stared at these lines of text, completely bewildered.
He subconsciously touched his chin, turned to look at Su Qingge, and asked for advice with a sincere expression.
"Honey, tell me, what kind of person was I before?"
"Could it be that my mom found out I stole two hundred yuan from her to buy you an album?"
Su Qingge looked at the name on the screen, and her previously playful expression instantly turned cold.
That coldness wasn't directed at Lin Zhou, but rather pure disgust.
It's like seeing a fly crawling on a dining table.
"She's really persistent."
Su Qingge reached out and swiped across the screen, her fingertips reluctant to even touch the name.
"Handbook? What handbook could she possibly have?"
"Besides the 'handles' you used to bring her breakfast, medicine, and being available whenever she needed you, what other tricks could she come up with?"
Lin Zhou shrugged, tapping his fingers lightly on his knee.
He was trying to search for the original owner's memories.
To be honest, the original owner's life of more than twenty years was as bland as plain water.
The biggest act of rebellion I ever committed was skipping high school to play games at an internet cafe. I've never even been in a fight, let alone gotten into any major scandals that could ruin my reputation.
If you get caught cheating on an exam... at most you'll be socially ruined, but you're still far from being completely disgraced, right?
"I'm wondering about that too."
Lin Zhou sighed, his face full of disappointment.
"If I really had some earth-shattering dirt on me, that would be one thing, like I'm a fugitive who's been on the run for years, or a top agent of some mysterious organization."
"The thing is, I'm as innocent as a sheet of A4 paper. Isn't her threat a bit too much of an insult to my intelligence?"
Just as the two were arguing, their phone vibrated again.
Chu Yuwei was clearly anxious, or perhaps she felt that the card she held was strong enough to make Lin Zhou obediently submit.
New information followed closely, revealing the true intentions behind the scenes.
Give me five million yuan as hush money, and then have Su Qingge use her connections to clear my name.
If you do these two things, I'll keep those things to myself forever.
Otherwise, this photo will be trending on the internet at 8 AM tomorrow. Then, let's see how your "national good husband" image will hold up!
"Five million?"
Lin Zhou couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if he had heard the best joke of the year.
"Does she have some misunderstanding about current inflation? Or does she think my money came from thin air?"
"You want to clear her name? Her brain circuits are so bad, I'd like to crowdfund her trip to see a neurologist."
A cold glint flashed in Su Qingge's eyes.
She usually seems aloof and doesn't like to deal with messy things, but that doesn't mean she has no temper.
Especially now, someone dares to blackmail her husband right under her nose.
"Lin Zhou, give me your phone."
Su Qingge extended her hand, her tone eerily calm.
"Since she wants to play, I'll play with her."
"If you don't crush this kind of person once and for all, she'll keep bothering you like a flea."
Lin Zhou didn't give it to him.
He held his phone, his brows furrowing slightly.
Because right after Chu Yuwei finished sending those threatening words, an image appeared.
"Wait, don't call the police yet."
Lin Zhou stared at the picture, a strange look appearing in his eyes.
That was a preview image, which had obviously been deliberately manipulated.
The pixels are blurry, and there's a thick layer of pixelation that even your own mother wouldn't recognize.
Even so, the content of the image can still be vaguely discerned.
Dim lighting.
The bed was slightly messy.
And, the silhouettes of a man and a woman lying on the bed.
The metal bunk bed and green wall paint in the background look strangely familiar.
That's clearly... a high school dormitory?
Lin Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and an absurd yet familiar feeling welled up inside him.
The original owner had absolutely no memory of this "romantic affair".
Where did this photo come from?
P's?
Or is there some earth-shattering secret that the original owner forgot in some corner?
Su Qingge also saw the photo.
She squinted, her gaze lingering on the photo for a few seconds before turning to look at Lin Zhou.
There were no questions, no doubts, only a faint sense of unease.
"Is this the leverage she was referring to?"
"It looks like it was taken in high school."
Lin Zhou zoomed in on the picture, trying to find some clues in those mosaics.
"It's definitely a high school dormitory; I have a very strong impression of those green walls."
"But who is this man? And who is this woman?"
"It can't be that I was sleepwalking and someone staged this photo, can it?"
Su Qingge crossed her arms and gently tapped her elbow with her fingertips.
"No matter who it is, the fact that Chu Yuwei dared to send it means she's convinced that you're the one in it."
"Moreover, she thinks this photo is enough to ruin you."
Lin Zhou put down his phone, slumped onto the sofa, and looked utterly dejected.
"It's really hard to be a good person these days."
"Not only do you have to guard against the demons and monsters outside, but you also have to guard against someone fabricating romantic entanglements for you."
"Honey, would you believe me if I said I have absolutely no recollection of this photo?"
Su Qingge lowered her eyes, looking at his helpless expression, and a very faint smile suddenly appeared on her lips.
She stretched out a finger and gently poked Lin Zhou's forehead.
"letter."
"With your guts, if you dared to bring a girl back to your dorm in high school, your legs would probably be broken by your mom before you even got inside."
"but……"
She abruptly changed the subject, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes.
"If this photo really goes viral tomorrow morning at 8 AM, and the person in it is really you."
"Lin Zhou, guess which leg I'll break first?"
