Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 577: Professor Qiao Is Actually a Cute Girl?

Qiao Yun paused mid-sentence and signaled to Pei Yao with her eyes.

Understanding her cue, Pei Yao immediately shut down the live stream.

Netizens: ???

Why did it end? We haven’t had enough! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Seeing that Pei Yao had turned off the live stream, Qiao Yun turned back to the dispirited old Mr. Zhou and said, "There’s one more thing, the illness of Mrs. Zhou was no accident."

Old Mr. Zhou suddenly looked up, disbelief filling his eyes as he asked with a trembling voice, "What do you mean by that? Explain yourself clearly!"

Qiao Yun looked down at him with disdain: "It means you’re very stupid."

Despite her youth, she didn’t show any inferiority in her demeanor when facing old Mr. Zhou, who was several times her age.

Old Mr. Zhou found it somewhat difficult to breathe under Qiao Yun’s gaze, his mind in utter chaos, "I get it, you deliberately deceived me..."

"To call you stupid is to state the obvious. The deeds you’ve done are known all over the internet. What’s there for us to deceive you about? Wouldn’t that be superfluous?"

With an unpleasant smile hanging on his handsome face, Pei Yao said unceremoniously, "Madame Zhou could have lived for several more months, but someone meddled with her condition, causing her to weaken day by day. And yet you’ve been serving your enemy, tsk tsk..."

Pei Yao shook his head, full of contempt as he looked at old Mr. Zhou as if he were looking at an idiot.

Old Mr. Zhou felt as if struck by lightning, panic evident on his face: "Impossible! You must be lying to me!"

He was unwilling to accept this reality.

In his life, old Mr. Zhou had always been decisive and ruthless, the only soft spot in his heart being reserved for Madame Zhou. The couple had been deeply in love for decades.

Even his own children couldn’t compare to Madame Zhou’s place in old Mr. Zhou’s heart.

Now that his wife was ill, he couldn’t bear the blow to his heart, which is why he sought desperately to save Madame Zhou.

He was willing to offend Tianqi Research Institute and Shengqiao Group at any cost, even if it meant abandoning his own grandson.

After doing so much, he was told that his wife’s illness had worsened due to the organization’s doing; he had been seeking help from the wrong person from the start!

Pei Yao’s sarcasm became even more pronounced: "Believe it or not, facts are facts. If Madame Zhou were still conscious, she might die from rage. She was harmed like this, yet her husband doesn’t seek revenge for her, but instead cooperates with the murderer."

Every word Pei Yao uttered was like a sharp knife to old Mr. Zhou, cutting deep and painfully.

He thought, if things were really as Pei Yao described, then what was the purpose of all his actions?

Had the entire Zhou Family been used?

A rage hard to articulate surged in old Mr. Zhou’s heart, and the hand resting by his side started to spasm uncontrollably until his whole body was shaking.

"Grandfather..." Zhou Xinyu saw that old Mr. Zhou’s condition wasn’t right and instinctively wanted to go forward to support him, but remembering the recent events, he stopped in his tracks.

His grandfather had been ready to make him the scapegoat. If he were to show concern now, wouldn’t that be pathetically cheap?

In that moment of hesitation, old Mr. Zhou suddenly collapsed, convulsing.

Pei Yao was startled: "Fuck, what’s happening?"

Qiao Yun glanced over dispassionately and said without emotion, "According to his symptoms, he might be having a stroke."

"Is this him getting himself killed by anger?"

Pei Yao thought to himself that this was a serious lack of psychological resilience, although he didn’t feel much sympathy in his heart.

Old Mr. Zhou had previously fainted due to the affair with Mr. Zhou the Second, and the doctor had warned him against further excitations.

The truth revealed by Qiao Yun directly doubled the stimulation, leading to a stroke from sheer anger.

Qiao Yun said, "Take him to the hospital."

The elder Zhou had committed a grave crime, so he should be punished by the law.

Pei Ya immediately instructed his bodyguards to call an ambulance.

At the same time, the police also arrived.

After the elder Zhou admitted his guilt, Pei Ya had someone call the police. Seeing the officers arrive, he joked, "Comrade officer, this man is now in your hands; make sure to seek justice for us."

"Mr. Pei is too polite, getting rid of harm for the people is our duty," the leading officer replied.

The lead officer directly showed Zhou Xinyu an arrest warrant.

Even though the main culprit was the elder Zhou, Zhou Xinyu, as an accomplice, naturally had to bear certain legal responsibilities.

Zhou Xinyu’s legs trembled, and he almost wished he could faint on the spot.

If Qiao Yun hadn’t been involved, perhaps the Zhou family could have settled this with money, but now the waters were too deep.

He knew that getting off scot-free was no longer possible.

Pei Ya looked at the elder Zhou being carried away by the ambulance and snickered, "You just had to mess with Professor Qiao."

His gaze fell on Qiao Yun, filled with admiration.

Don’t be fooled by how Professor Qiao sometimes seems confused and unaware; she has her own principles, and seeking the truth is her bottom line.

"Let’s go."

After saying this, Qiao Yun headed for the door; now that the matter was resolved, she no longer needed to be involved in the aftermath.

As Qiao Yun and Pei Ya left the Zhou residence, they were unaware that the incident had already caused an uproar on the internet.

With the fast spread of information, coupled with the technical support from Tianqi Research Institute, the entire affair was known across the web within minutes of the live broadcast beginning.

After the live broadcast was cut off, netizens who couldn’t get their fill of the live drama took to the internet to discuss.

"This is such a grand drama of the rich and powerful. Us ordinary folks really can’t understand. To frame someone is one thing, but to even frame one’s own grandson— is this what being wealthy is about? It’s terrifying."

"Is this a case of the dog eating the dog?"

"I just want to know where the Zhou family got the audacity to do such a thing. What if someone accidentally got blown up? Aren’t they afraid? Could there be some unknown power behind them?"

"Let me enlighten you, the Zhou family is a big shot in Yuncheng—no one dares to provoke them. If there is a single clean person in the Zhou family, may lightning strike me down; it’s all about money making the devil turn the millstone."

"Does this count as collusion between government and business?"

Only then did netizens realize that the incident wasn’t just about Professor Qiao being framed— there might be many more cases behind the Zhou family.

So Professor Qiao was really removing a scourge for the people.

"This live broadcast had me on the edge of my seat; it’s just a pity it got cut off towards the end. I wonder how they’ll deal with the fallout?"

"How else are they going to deal with it? They’ve broken the law; they’re definitely going down."

"There’s more to come—the elder of the Zhou family has had a stroke and been hospitalized, and it seems he might not make it."

"More updates—Zhou Xinyu has been arrested, and the Zhou family’s shares have plummeted."

"The latest news—the direct line of the Zhou family is in total chaos, I’ve found out a lot of them have bought plane tickets to flee abroad."

"Breaking news—all of the Zhou family members have been restricted from leaving the country, haha, not one can escape. This is so satisfying!"

While everyone was still captivated by the Zhou family affairs, someone quietly asked.

"Am I the only one focused on Professor Qiao? Damn, I thought Professor Qiao was an old man by his age, but his voice sounds like a cute girl? It would be great if she showed her face."

"Cute girl? What gave you that illusion? Clearly, she’s a cool and aloof goddess. When she confronted the Zhou family, it got my blood pumping."
