The Self-Redemption of the Wronged Fool [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 13

Zhao Lingyun pulled Ji Qiuchi toward the interior of the venue. “The sales performance is excellent; many people love Zhao Corporation’s jewelry this year. I was not mistaken, Xiao Wang you truly have a gift.”

He pulled him all the way to the lounge. “You don’t need to care about Zhang Zixin’s matters. People like them are full of schemes and have never been as pure as we are.”

Ji Qiuchi stopped moving and looked at Zhao Lingyun. “Do you think I am that easy to fool? Ever since he started cooperating with Zhao Corporation, he hasn’t hidden anything and has frequently flaunted his power in front of me.”

“Xiao Wang, listen to my explanation. There is nothing between me and him, and I will not let him get close to me again in the future. I have handed over all the work transitions to others. You know the situation at Zhao Corporation; I have only just taken over. If I don’t produce results, my uncles will not let me off. Now that the spring exhibition is going well, I am the one taking over everything, and it is thanks to your help.”

Zhao Lingyun was extremely happy in his heart, thinking that Ji Wang must be jealous. He grasped Ji Qiuchi’s hand. “It is I who have made you suffer grievances,” Zhao Lingyun said further, even reaching out to hug him. Ji Qiuchi, meanwhile, almost failed to control himself and nearly gave him an over-the-shoulder throw.

After the other party released him, he handed over a gift box. “This is a brooch I personally made for you. Ji Wang, I have always liked you. Can I be with you? We can get married soon, and I won’t let you suffer any more grievances in the future.”

The system was excited: “Zhao Lingyun’s favorability has reached ninety! Host, it actually succeeded.”

Ji Qiuchi’s expression did not fluctuate in the slightest as he said to the system, “He has a guilty conscience; he feels remorseful and sorry toward me, and besides, there is no harm without comparison.”

At this moment, Ji Qiuchi looked at Zhao Lingyun. Instead of taking the gift box, he took out the photo Zhang Zixin had sent him. “But, he wasn’t lying either. You were indeed together, weren’t you? I have been waiting for your explanation, but for so long, you explained nothing. Even now, you still want to lie to me. I have liked you since I was a child, but from now on, I will stay far away from you.”

When Zhao Lingyun saw the photo on the phone, his mind exploded with a bang. He looked at the departing Ji Qiuchi, wanting to grab him, but he had to stop and go find Zhang Zixin. He had worked so hard for so long just to make their relationship ease and even return to how it was before, but now, it was all ruined. He truly had not expected that Zhang Zixin would actually expose this matter and let Ji Wang find out.

Ji Qiuchi did not know that on that very day, Zhao Lingyun breached the contract and terminated the agreement with Zhang Zixin, subsequently exposing a lot of the other party’s “black material” (scandals) in the afternoon. The entire internet was particularly lively.

Afterward, Ji Qiuchi went home and couldn’t help but take a bath.

Lin Ming had been waiting at the venue for Ji Qiuchi and never saw him until the exhibition ended. Lin Ming took out his phone: “Let’s take action. Everything is ready. I want Zhao Lingyun’s reputation to be completely ruined.”

At midnight, everyone was calculating the sales figures for the first day. Ji Qiuchi’s results exceeded the second place by several percentage points. Zhao Corporation’s jewelry performance also hung high in second place; he had successfully suppressed Lin Corporation’s jewelry.

However, in the early morning, scandals regarding Zhao Lingyun’s company were exposed across the entire network. The authorities intervened immediately to conduct an investigation. Following that was the matter of the former president of Zhao Corporation’s jewelry division, where there seemed to be suspicious points.

Zhao Lingyun did not even have time to contact Ji Qiuchi before he was taken in for investigation.

When the trouble at Zhao Corporation broke out in the early morning, the system came online immediately: “This is bad, Host! What happened to the male lead? His halo suddenly seems useless. How could he make such a low-level mistake?”

Ji Qiuchi, however, laughed. “When one does too many bad deeds, retribution follows. I hadn’t even intended to act yet. Since things are already like this, let’s expose this material together.”

Ji Qiuchi had also endured him for a long time. The original owner had too much resentment; if his soul were not powerful when receiving the memories and emotions, he might have truly been affected. The spring exhibition was indeed a chance for Zhao Lingyun to turn things around, but unfortunately, Ji Qiuchi had also decided to move only after lifting him to the peak. He did not expect someone else to beat him to it.

The exposure of Zhang Zixin and Zhao Lingyun provided by Ji Qiuchi added even more fuel to the fire, causing Zhao Lingyun to take over a complete mess. What was even more extreme was the subsequent, even more explosive material.

This time it was not Ji Qiuchi’s doing, but Zhang Zixin’s. When Zhang Zixin’s scandals were exposed in the afternoon, he knew it was Zhao Lingyun’s doing. Zhao Lingyun ruined him and wanted to discard him just like that? No way. Zhang Zixin naturally exposed everything he had in his hands; the things he released were far more X-rated than the photo in Ji Qiuchi’s possession.

However hard Zhao Lingyun had worked to maintain his persona back then was how severe the backlash was now. Ji Qiuchi, on the other hand, was in a good mood.

System: “There is still favorability that hasn’t reached one hundred percent.”

“It doesn’t matter, we’ll talk about it tomorrow. I will go find him.” Ji Qiuchi was in a great mood and had a good night’s sleep.

Zhao Lingyun’s people also found him at the first opportunity, hoping he would help. With Zhao Lingyun in trouble, the company’s high-level executives had already fallen into a power struggle; not a single person intended to bail Zhao Lingyun out. Zhao Lingyun was under investigation and could not get out, until today when he saw Ji Qiuchi coming to find him.

He spoke: “It must be Lin Ming’s doing. He has always found me disagreeable. There are only a few people I have offended… the investment, it’s that investment! Xiao Wang, only you can help me. Go and plead with Lin Ming for me; ask him to leave me a way to live. I won’t compete with him for anything anymore.”

Ji Qiuchi appropriately showed a look of confusion, but soon, he agreed: “Brother Lingyun, don’t worry. I will definitely get you out. Although such a thing has happened, I’ve thought about it you just made a mistake that every man makes. I still like you very much.”

Zhao Lingyun was caught off guard hearing Ji Qiuchi’s confession, and a surge of warmth flowed into his heart. He recalled how he had broken up with Ji Qiuchi the moment Lin Ming returned, and how he stood by when Wen Jing dealt with him. He had even had the thought that it would be a good thing if the kidnappers actually killed him. He had thought about letting Ji Wang die; he was too despicable.

Yet now that trouble had occurred, only Ji Wang came to see him, only Ji Wang was willing to save him, and only he loved him sincerely.

After Ji Qiuchi left, Zhao Lingyun’s eyes finally turned red. Outside, the system said in surprise: “The favorability is maxed out! Congratulations, Host! But are you going to save Zhao Lingyun?”

“How is that possible? That was just to trick him.” Ji Qiuchi said, “After he goes to prison, I will see him one more time to dump him ruthlessly. That way, won’t the task be completed?”

Ji Qiuchi showed a smile until the figure of Lin Ming appeared before him. He walked up to him with a terrible expression: “Is seeing Zhao Lingyun really making you that happy? Unfortunately, no matter what you do, he won’t be getting out. Brother, I have been waiting for you, but you never pushed open the door to my house, even though I clearly moved in next door to you.”

Subsequently, without a word, he pulled him into the car with frightening strength. Usually, Lin Ming, who kept his claws retracted, was always as gentle as jade toward Ji Qiuchi, but now looking at the dark-faced Lin Ming, Ji Qiuchi felt inexplicably guilty. “You misunderstood. Zhao Lingyun brought this on himself. If he hadn’t knowingly broken the law, it wouldn’t have come to this.”

Lin Ming looked at Ji Qiuchi suspiciously, his expression softening slightly. “Brother, you saw it too. He is just a scumbag who can’t control his lower body. He slept with that male star; he is not suitable for you.”

He was coaxed so easily. Ji Qiuchi found it somewhat funny yet a bit helpless. Thinking about these days, the only person he felt sorry for was Lin Ming. Now that the dust had settled, Ji Qiuchi spoke: “Lin Ming, rest assured, I have never liked him. The things I said to you before were also out of necessity.”

Lin Ming’s eyes flickered slightly, and the tips of his ears turned red. “Then, then do you like…”

The oppressive atmosphere inside the car was swept away, but it began to grow tense in a different way. Ji Qiuchi indeed had a good impression of him; however, he did not say it. For the first time in many years, his heart fluctuated, yet it was because of a person in this false world. He pretended as if he had heard nothing and looked out the window.

But a certain someone would not let him off that easily and forcibly turned him back. “Do you not like me? Have you never liked me? Brother? Is there something I haven’t done well?”

Lin Ming poured out a heart full of sincerity, but their ending had already been destined. His life in this world was not long. Rather than suffering through that pain, it was better not to start at all. He knew what the other party wanted and knew that answer, but he could not give it.

“Sorry, Xiao Ming, I cannot be with you.”

Before his words were finished, Lin Ming’s eyes reddened. “There’s no need to apologize. I’ll be fine soon; I can coax myself into feeling better.”

Lin Ming sent him home and then entered his own house. It was very quiet, making Ji Qiuchi feel a bit guilty. The system shed tears: “Why not just agree? Anyway, there are only a few days left.”

“To do that would be irresponsible. This body was going to die anyway; although it’s not the original owner’s original ending, it will deteriorate step by step and eventually pass away.” Ji Qiuchi still had the goal of standing before the Main God again in his heart, so he could only say coldly, “If there is point income in this world, then wash away my feelings. I cannot take these emotions to the worlds that follow.”

However, he never imagined that upon waking up, he would not be in his own bed, but in a strange room. His limbs were attached to fur-lined iron chains locked to the headboard. The chains were very short.

only the distance of the entire room the windows were locked, and Lin Ming walked in.

“Heh, I knew it. Him being quiet definitely meant there was a problem,” Ji Qiuchi said.

The system, which had previously pitied Lin Ming: “…”

“I had no other choice. Don’t blame me, Brother; I didn’t want to either.” Lin Ming’s eyes were mournful.

Ji Qiuchi: “You’re crazy. You’re going to lock me up? Even so, I won’t like you.”

Ji Qiuchi knew in his heart that if he were truly kept here, not only would he be unable to complete the task, but he would also very likely die right in front of the other party.

Lin Ming could not accept it. Having gone through so many worlds together and possessing so many unforgettable memories, at the moment of reunion, Chi Chi had forgotten everything and did not even like him. He leaned down toward Ji Qiuchi: “If you don’t like me, then hate me.”

Although he had already felt that Lin Ming’s midnight bed-climbing was suspicious, the current Lin Ming seemed like a completely different person. Ji Qiuchi felt as though he were stuck in a dense spider web; ultimately powerless to struggle, he could only be plundered by the predator. Hmm, it was quite stimulating.
