I Heard That I am a HeartBreaker - Chapter 87

Song Ya didn’t care at all about Lu Chen’s accusations. Although she felt a bit guilty at first, she quickly became self-righteous.

After all, every time Qiu Shuang had a brief falling out with her, she would eventually be accused of “PUA” by the two of them and then “return.”

How were these two qualified to stand before her and accuse her? Wasn’t silence also a form of complicity?

Hearing Song Ya’s words, Lu Chen closed her eyes. If this weren’t a society ruled by law, for the sake of public safety, Lu Chen truly wanted to beat the two of them up in broad daylight.

“I thought you two were shameless enough already, but I didn’t expect you to give me a new ‘surprise’.”

At this point, Lu Chen felt thankful for her own sensitivity, paranoia, and those previous thoughts. When she had placed a tracker on Qiu Shuang, she had been very afraid of the other party finding out.

But thinking about it now, it was good news. Lu Chen watched as the tracked target moved out of the province and headed toward a southern tourist city, letting out a sigh.

She believed Shuangshuang wouldn’t give up on her so easily. As for where Song Ya got her information, she wouldn’t delve into that for now.

The main suspect in Lu Chen’s eyes was Qi Sijiao. During the Lunar New Year, the girl had inexplicably run to Qiu Shuang’s house; there must be many issues involved.

When Qi Sijiao arrived, she never expected things to become so “lively.”

Who would have thought so many love rivals would surround her? Thinking of this, she looked at Lu Chen. Could it be that Lu Chen had leaked the news that she and Shuangshuang spent the New Year together?

Were they jealous?

“I want to know, what did you say to Qiu Shuang during the New Year? What made Shuangshuang flee from here?”

Hearing Lu Chen’s question, Qi Sijiao fell into silence. After all, she seriously suspected that Qiu Shuang had left because of her.

But how could she say those things? Was she supposed to tell the love rivals in front of her?

Yes, that’s right. I ran to Senior’s house, and then I wanted to be the “third party” or her lover, and I was rejected by Qiu Shuang.

To this, Qi Sijiao could bet her life that if they found out she treated Senior that way, they would definitely give her a violent beating.

“I hope you make things clear. The situation is not good; we don’t know Qiu Shuang’s psychological state. Should we go look for her? If she’s just going out to clear her head, it’s fine, but if she’s feeling hopeless… who among us can bear that responsibility?”

After Lu Chen finished speaking, the rest of the group exploded like a pot of boiling water. At this point, they sent messages to the remaining few. The message to Xin Zhu was like a stone sinking into the ocean, while Gu Lingxi replied with a very confused question mark.

Gu Lingxi had been very busy lately, nearly annoyed to death, and was about to prepare for her internship. Gu Lingxi believed that with her family’s company as leverage, she would continue her bond with her junior.

Who would have thought that when she received news, it would be such a scene? As soon as Gu Lingxi got out of the car, she saw Song Ya, Chen Wanjun, Lu Chen, and the others. What was this? A “Junior’s Love Rival Union”?

Gu Lingxi really didn’t want to be with these people. What was the use? Were they mourning? Or had a winner already emerged among them?

Gu Lingxi looked around and, as expected, found that Xin Zhu was missing from the crowd.

Did the junior end up with Xin Zhu? So this group was sitting here holding some sort of “snatching convention” and decided to bring her along? It sounded truly absurd.

“What do you want with me? I remember we aren’t close; in fact, we’re only related as distant relatives.”

“Miss Gu is truly a busy person. I suppose you don’t know that Shuangshuang took a leave of absence from school and ran away from home alone?”

Song Ya spoke directly. She felt annoyed by this “nouveau riche” who was just like her, especially since the other girl was wealthier and more outstanding than she was.

Hearing her cousin Song Ya say this, Gu Lingxi looked blank.

“And? Your purpose for finding me is entirely because the junior took a leave of absence? If you ask me, you all really take yourselves too seriously. Our relationship with Qiu Shuang is merely that of pursuers and the pursued.”

“We aren’t her father or mother. Is it necessary to monitor her life like this? You all seem to have lost your minds; who do you think you are?”

Gu Lingxi really didn’t understand what was wrong with these people. Regarding the junior’s trip, she hadn’t understood it at first, but now she supported it with both hands and feet.

Whose life wouldn’t be annoying if surrounded by so many “strong-willed” idiots?

“I very much support the junior taking leave to clear her head. After all, being with people like you would definitely make one’s mood unpleasant.”

“Look who’s talking. You’re no saint either. You used the internship qualification to intentionally dangle her along. It’s not like we don’t know. You’re just a fake.”

Qi Sijiao was quite defiant; what right did the person in front of her have to judge them?

What kind of person was Gu Lingxi? Holding an internship opportunity to dangle Senior, acting like a “gentle senior” every day while actually being a total b*tch.

“No matter what I did, I never disturbed Qiu Shuang’s life. On the contrary, I help her. What about you? One or two of you claim to like her, but you haven’t helped her with anything, have you? All you know is how to give useless things.”

Gu Lingxi was already unhappy because of what Gu Su had said, and seeing these people now, she felt they were nothing special. Gu Lingxi just found it very low-class; the fact that these people liked the same person as she did truly lowered Qiu Shuang’s standards.

Song Ya didn’t say anything when she heard the two of them arguing. She didn’t send things? Every single one of Qiu Shuang’s outfits was meticulously coordinated by her. Had she not given anything?

Just as she was about to speak up, Song Ya remembered past events. Such “outspoken” matters should be left to someone else.

Chen Wanjun said nothing at all. She looked at the two of them and gave a cold laugh.

“Fine, what’s the use of us blaming each other? None of us here are ‘good’ people. What’s important now is to figure out our own affairs. Tell me, what exactly happened?”

“Regardless of what little schemes we have, everything must be for Qiu Shuang. Although she has her own ideas, taking a sudden leave is unlikely. How could her studies be unimportant? I don’t believe she would give up on that. So, who can stand up and tell me what happened?”

Qi Sijiao lowered her head upon hearing Lu Chen say this. Lu Chen glanced at her and knew immediately that these matters must be related to her.

“During this year’s Lunar New Year, when I had a video call with Qiu Shuang, if I remember correctly, Qi Sijiao went to her house and spent the New Year with her. Their relationship was very good. Since that’s the case, I believe Qi Sijiao must know what happened.”

“What? Spent New Year there? Even I haven’t been!”

Song Ya directly exploded upon hearing Lu Chen’s words. She had known Qiu Shuang for nearly ten years and had never been to her house; on what grounds did the other party get to go?

Was their relationship already that good after only one year? What were the three years they spent in the same room?

Qi Sijiao was fed up. If she truly told them the situation, this group of people would absolutely beat her up.

“This involves the privacy of Senior’s family; I’m embarrassed to say. Right now, we need to use some methods to find her. Does anyone know where she went?”

Lu Chen saw that Qiu Shuang had already crossed into another province. But how could she say exactly where she was? How could she tell these people? And how could she go find her alone?

“So you haven’t even clarified the situation and you called me here? How laughable. I’ve had very little communication with the junior lately. After all, with everyone’s ‘help,’ my relationship with her is just that of ordinary friends. So, as her ‘good first love,’ ‘good bestie,’ ‘good deskmate,’ and ‘good roommate,’ I think you all should have a way.”

Instantly, the atmosphere among several people became tense again.

In another room, Qiu Shuang slowly opened her eyes. She found herself lying on a bed. She climbed up and looked at the iron chain by her feet.

To be honest, even if she were a fool, she would know exactly what was going on. Qiu Shuang never thought that this kind of scene, which only appeared in romance novels, would happen to her.

Would the other party keep her locked here forever? And then the two of them would perform some “he-chases-she-flee/no-escape” drama?

That would be truly bad.

“Senior, you’re awake.”

Qiu Shuang looked up. Xin Zhu pushed the door and walked in. As someone already wandering on the edge of the law, she wasn’t flustered at all; instead, she handed food to Qiu Shuang.

“It seems Senior isn’t nervous at all. I thought you would be a bit scared or would curse at me.”

“What’s the use of cursing you? You shouldn’t be stupid enough to carry the key on you. Even if I knocked you out, I wouldn’t be able to leave for now. Might as well be calm.”

Xin Zhu smiled upon hearing this, then continued to pick up the food. Qiu Shuang looked at the food in front of her and began to ponder. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust the other party, but given the circumstances, she seriously suspected that something might have been put in the food.

“Why isn’t Senior eating? Are you not hungry?”

“About the school… you probably requested leave for me, didn’t you?”

“Of course. How could I leave such a big bug behind? And I found some students with excellent grades, asked for their notes, and had them sent over in an organized way. This way, while Senior is here, your studies won’t be delayed.”

Hearing this, Qiu Shuang understood; she likely still had the possibility of getting out. Otherwise, the other party could have just made her disappear. Of course, Qiu Shuang didn’t think Xin Zhu was a “good person” either.

It was likely that Xin Zhu felt the “cost-performance ratio” of keeping her hidden forever was too low, or rather, too troublesome. Not only would she lose her family, but Song Ya and the others would definitely come looking for her.

“Oh, you’re as ‘thoughtful’ as ever. But I’m really curious—how did you deal with those people?”

“Those disgusting flies? Don’t worry, Senior, I’ve already handled them. The reason given to the school and to them is that Senior wanted to go out to clear her head because she was in a bad mood. Anyway, being surrounded by those idiots wouldn’t make anyone happy.”

“You really exceeded my expectations. I didn’t realize you prepared so many things ‘full-time’.”

As Qiu Shuang spoke, she looked around. The room was fully equipped with all kinds of facilities, and there were several cameras clearly placed above.

“It seems you’ve prepared quite a lot for today. Did you plan to lock me up the moment you realized you couldn’t catch up to me, or when you realized I liked someone else?”
