Chapter 220: A Deadly Recording
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He Xiang just sat opposite Lin Shanchu, watching her eat supper.
Looking at Lin Shanchu, He Xiang was a little puzzled. “Sister Lin, why do I feel like you’re getting thinner and thinner?
When she was at home, she cooked for Lin Shanchu in a variety of ways every day and ensured the nutrition was well-balanced.
Lin Shanchu also ate quite a bit.
However, Lin Shanchu was getting thinner and thinner, let alone gaining weight.
She had not been busy with work recently and her diet was normal. Logically speaking, even if she did not gain weight, she would not be getting thinner.
“Is that so?” Lin Shanchu touched her face.
He Xiang nodded solemnly.
“It’s fine, my body is like this.” Lin Shanchu smiled faintly.
Even though she had exchanged the so-called health points with the system, her body only looked healthy.
In the original book, she only realized it in the later stages of the plot. Her uncle came back to save her and faked her death before successfully sending her abroad. He also arranged everything for her overseas and helped her contact a doctor for cancer treatment.
However, in order to hide it from Lu Shiyuan, her uncle chose to stay in the country to deal with the aftermath. In the end, he died in Lu Shiyuan’s hands.
If she told her uncle now that she had cancer, he would definitely help her without hesitation.
Even so, she did not want that to happen.
She did not want to walk the path that had been arranged for her.
She wanted to walk her own path.
The system and the plot were fixed, but she was flexible.
She could not change them, but she wanted to control her own fate.
“Do you have a skinny physique?” He Xiang was still a little worried after saying that. “When you have time, go to the hospital for a physical examination.”
“We’ll talk about that later.” Lin Shanchu’s tone was a little perfunctory.
He Xiang could tell that Lin Shanchu did not want to go to the hospital, but she did not overthink it.
Most people did not like to go to the hospital.
After that, He Xiang stopped talking.
Lin Shanchu finished supper and looked up, only to see He Xiang pursing her lips and fidgeting with her fingers, looking restless.
She was fine just now, but why did she suddenly become like this?
Lin Shanchu did not say anything. She got up, took the tableware and went into the kitchen.
“Sister Lin, put it down and let me do it.” He Xiang came to her senses and went into the kitchen.
When a person was uneasy, she could not do anything well.
He Xiang hurriedly took the plate from Lin Shanchu’s hands and accidentally dropped it on the floor.
A loud glass-shattering sound was heard.
Both of them were stunned for a moment.
“Sister Lin, I…” He Xiang looked at Lin Shanchu with a hesitant expression.
Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly and looked at her seriously. “If you haven’t thought it through yet, let’s talk about it tomorrow. I’m going to wash up and sleep.”
He Xiang had been preoccupied these days. It seemed that other than the comments on the Internet, she had other things on her mind.
Lin Shanchu turned around and walked away.
“Sister Lin, I have something for you.”
He Xiang’s voice came from behind.
Lin Shanchu turned around and saw He Xiang taking out her phone and playing a recording. “Sis, Sister Dai has gone crazy. Save me…”
“What’s wrong with her?”
“Ah!”
“That’s He Xiang, not Lin Shanchu!”
“What’s the use of beating He Xiang to death? Can President Lu still help you clean up this mess…”
“…She’s not moving anymore. She seems to be dead…”
Lin Shanchu could tell that it was a call recording.
The recording was a little long. Lin Shanchu could tell the identity of the three voices in the recording.
One of them was He Xiang who was in front of her, while the other two were Kong Suyi and Tang Qidai.
Lin Shanchu noticed that He Xiang’s hand was shaking while holding the phone.
It had been more than two months since the incident, but she still felt scared when she thought about it. This was also the first time she had played the recording.
“Is that how you got the scars on your body?” Lin Shanchu asked.
He Xiang nodded. “My cell phone was set to record calls automatically. They didn’t bother to check my phone at that ime. By the time they wanted to check my phone, I had already saved the recording elsewhere.”
Lin Shanchu walked over and took He Xiang’s phone away. “Why did you play this recording for me?”
“In case you need it…” He Xiang stammered.
“Are you sure you want to give it to me?” Lin Shanchu asked seriously. “I might make this recording public.”
He Xiang was different from her.
He Xiang was not someone who would throw caution to the wind without a care in the world. That was why she had been keeping such a deadly recording and refused to expose it.
“You were on the trending search list after you slapped Tang Qidai for my sake. You deliberately diverted everyone’s attention so that I, as one of the parties involved, wouldn’t have to suffer a bit of repercussions from this fiasco.”
He Xiang pursed her lips and said shyly, “I’m really grateful to you.”
Lin Shanchu turned her face away and said awkwardly, “No need to thank me. I didn’t help you on purpose.”
At that time, she had indeed considered this point. However, now that He
Xiang had mentioned it so solemnly, she inexplicably felt a little awkward.
He Xiang smiled. “Although I’m still afraid of becoming the center of public opinion, I hope that I can help you.”
Lin Shanchu was silent for a moment before politely rejecting her. “You’d better think about it again.”
“Sister Lin, I’ve thought it through!”
“If you become a target, you won’t be unscathed.”
As long as He Xiang stood up, there would be people who would sympathize with her as well as people who would attack her.
No one knew better than Lin Shanchu how it felt to be attacked.
The next day, the police reported Kong Suyi’s suicide.
The article explained in detail that Kong Suyi had committed suicide and foul play was ruled out.
Yesterday, some people still doubted the authenticity of Kong Suyi’s suicide. Now that the police report was released, there was no room for doubt in this incident.
The netizens began to mourn for Kong Suyi, saying that she was an innocent victim.
Then, they teamed up and went to Lin Shan’s Weibo page to condemn her.
Lin Shanchu, who had gotten used to the condemnation, did not care at all and just thought about breakfast.
She had supper last night, but she was starving in the morning.
Lin Shanchu walked out of the bedroom and called He Xiang’s name.
“He Xiang, what are we going to have for breakfast…”
Before she could finish speaking, she saw He Xiang sitting on the sofa with a serious expression.
“Sister Lin, I’ve thought it through.”
“Huh?”
He Xiang walked over and stuffed the phone into Lin Shanchu’s hand. “Instead of letting this recording rot in my hands, I still hope that it can help you.”
Lin Shanchu looked down at the phone and asked seriously, “What are we going to have for breakfast?”
“…I haven’t made breakfast yet.” He Xiang was a little embarrassed.
She had been thinking about this matter repeatedly since last night, so she was not in the mood to make breakfast this morning.
Lin Shanchu slumped onto the sofa and threw her phone to He Xiang. “Order takeout then.”
He Xiang used Lin Shanchu’s phone to order takeout, whereas Lin Shanchu used He Xiang’s phone to send the recording to her own phone.
After the transferring the recording, Lin Shanchu instructed He Xiang with a serious expression, “Order more, so that we can go out and do business on a
full stomach.” “We’re going out? Where are we going?”
“To the hospital.”
He Xiang thought that Lin Shanchu was going for a physical examination, so she asked happily, “Then we have to tell Brother Qi, right?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll tell him..”
