With the letter delivered, the matter was settled. The Ji family was pressing urgently, so Ji Hanfeng booked a flight for the next morning. He sighed regretfully, “Ah, there’s no way to see the bad guys get their comeuppance now.”
Shen Yunmiao, stroking the cat in her arms, replied, “Even if Old Master Cheng doesn’t step in, the heat around this issue will die down soon. There’s nothing to worry about.”
“Just focus on your classes with peace of mind.”
The cat in her arms, thoroughly enjoying the petting, let out a soft “meow.”
Over the past couple of days, after careful consideration, Little Miss Cheng had come to realize that Shen Yunmiao and Ji Hanfeng seemed to be nothing more than ordinary friends. Though Ji Hanfeng often acted impulsively, their interactions never crossed the boundaries of friendship.
What pleased Little Miss Cheng even more was Shen Yunmiao’s aloofness toward everyone. Upon closer observation, it seemed she was actually the closest to this little cat.
Little Miss Cheng had never experienced the feeling of being someone’s top priority before, and it filled her with immense satisfaction.
However, considering the plot, the incident involving Jian Shen was likely not far off. How should she handle it when the time comes?
Little Miss Cheng was deeply troubled.
Now that the mess stirred up by Qiao Jingshu was likely to be resolved, the Cheng family’s cipher key was a design created years ago by a master of metaphysics. Regardless of the master’s other skills, his design abilities were quite impressive. The final product was a lotus with dual forms of yin and yang.
The dual forms of yin and yang essentially meant that the design looked different at night and during the day. In reality, it had nothing to do with time but rather with the presence or absence of light. Only when illuminated could the pattern be discerned; without light, it appeared as nothing more than two simple ink stains.
This was why Shen Yunmiao hadn’t bothered to change the envelope. The two tiny, almost imperceptible ink stains were hardly noticeable and entirely unnecessary to alter.
But they were sufficient.
Cheng Jianian didn’t believe her mother, with both eyes wide open, would fail to recognize it. Only the head of the family knew about the cipher key. Even if she couldn’t trace it back to her own handiwork after the coma following the car accident, she could at least deduce that the person who sent the letter was connected to her.
With this matter no longer requiring her attention, the next priority was to prevent the car accident.
If it were only about Jian Shen, Cheng Jianian wouldn’t be so anxious. The main issue was that the incident was initially targeted at Shen Yunmiao. Who knew if the plot might deviate, leading to Shen Yunmiao getting hurt as well?
She recalled from the plot that shortly after Jian Shen secured the investment, “Cheng Jianian” organized a drinking party, inviting both the director and the female lead. After the party, she arranged for cars to take them home.
No one suspected that Miss Cheng would be foolish enough to tamper directly with the dispatched vehicles, so although there were some reservations, everyone got in.
Unexpectedly, shortly after setting off, Jian Shen’s car malfunctioned. This wasn’t part of the plan, the car had genuinely broken down. Jian Shen had no choice but to call Shen Yunmiao, who was in the car ahead, and the two ended up in the same vehicle.
Just as Jian Shen was about to get in, the orphanage called Shen Yunmiao, likely to ask for money, though there were probably other matters mixed in as well. In any case, it was urgent.
Shen Yunmiao had no choice but to get out and let the driver take Jian Shen home first, while she hailed a taxi to the orphanage. Little did she know that this decision would inadvertently save her from disaster.
At the next intersection, the car was struck and sent flying over ten meters away.
Miss Cheng hadn’t tampered with the dispatched vehicles after all. Instead, she sent out another car, showing no regard for the innocent driver, as it made no difference to her.
Even Satan would probably applaud such ruthlessness.
How utterly benevolent!
Young CEO Cheng had a strong suspicion that the original author was her anti-fan not only portraying her as villainous but also ridiculously stupid!
Even if she truly intended to do evil, she would never resort to such idiotic and irreversible methods!!!
Besides, she had no desire to cause trouble in the first place.
As frustrating as it was, Cheng Jianian had come to realize that the original novel harbored pure hatred toward her.
From previous incidents, it was clear that even when absurd plot points inexplicably unfolded, the blame always landed on her despite her physical body being comatose and vegetative.
But what infuriated her most was that the novel didn’t treat its “beloved heroine” Miaomiao much better either. Aside from a brief moment of triumph at the end, Miaomiao suffered through hundreds of chapters.
So, she had to change the plot not just for her own sake, but to spare Miaomiao from those unreasonable hardships.
Once resolved, Cheng Jianian began considering the feasibility of her plan. After all, pulling things off as a cat was no easy task.
Take the upcoming car accident, for example. First, she had to ensure she could follow Shen Yunmiao to the banquet that day. Second, she needed Shen Yunmiao to understand her warnings and signals otherwise, all her efforts would be in vain.
What a headache for a cat.
For several days, the little white kitten had been listless. She still ate plenty but moved noticeably less, often curling up in one spot with an adorably troubled expression, deep in thought. Shen Yunmiao’s heart softened at the sight.
She tried to distract her kitten from overthinking, but to no avail. A trip to the vet revealed nothing unusual, the kitten seemed perfectly healthy.
Shen Yunmiao could only comfort herself with the thought that her kitten was exceptionally clever, and brilliant minds often stood apart from the ordinary. A little extra contemplation was probably normal.
Soon, the matter with Qiao Jingshu was resolved. Who knew what Old CEO Cheng thought after reading that letter? He actually warned the artists in the company to stop twisting the facts.
Qiao Jingshu, upon hearing the news from Li Shengran, proved adaptable. She promptly posted on Flow, clarifying that it was all a misunderstanding and urging everyone not to be swayed by comment section drama. She claimed she hadn’t been scratched by the cat but had accidentally grazed herself while trying to play with it.
Seeing Qiao Jingshu take the initiative to clear things up, Jian Shen and Yuan Duan immediately spoke up in Shen Yunmiao’s defense. Just like that, the incident blew over. Although many of Qiao Jingshu’s fans still grumbled about “capitalist manipulation,” not everyone in the world was a fan, and the storm subsided.
Nevertheless, Young CEO Cheng was still furious.
Absolutely livid. Once she returned to her human form, she wouldn’t let Qiao Jingshu get away with causing trouble so easily.
After dealing with the car accident plot, she must prioritize returning to her human body.
Shen Yunmiao had no idea what her kitten was thinking. She was quite surprised by how smoothly the situation had resolved.
In her impression, Old CEO Cheng wasn’t the type to be so benevolent. Truly, appearances could be deceiving.
As Shen Yunmiao pondered this, her phone suddenly rang.
It was Jian Shen.
