Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 248: After Kicking Away the Scumbag, the Aloof Buddhist Son Dotes on His Wife 48
The truth was almost exactly as Su Zhiruan had guessed, the entire live broadcast room was about to explode!
This was the time of night with the highest viewer traffic, and netizens were accustomed to scrolling through short videos after dinner to see what big news there was today.
As they opened it, they saw several incredibly familiar faces and, from their perspective, could only see the tops of the heads of Su Zhiruan and her three companions.
This angle must have been connected to the surveillance camera, but the sounds from the restaurant were transmitting clearly into the live stream.
The number of viewers in the live room kept increasing.
10,000 people...
50,000 people...
150,000 people...
And at last, it broke through to a terrifying 2 million people watching online!!
This number continued to rise, even far surpassing the highest online number in the history of the short video app!
Real-time comments flew all over the place, pausing for just a second would see countless messages flitting across the screen at incredible speed.
The staff members responsible for maintaining the backend of the short video app had never anticipated such spectacular footage; the visuals had already started to lag, but the audio remained clear.
"Are you guys experiencing lag?! Why is mine completely lagging now, I can only hear the sound?! Damn, I really want to listen! Just listening feels so thrilling and explosive!"]
"Does this count as a secret of the wealthy?! I never thought a nobody like me could actually witness this live!"]
"Forget about your astonishment for now! Did you guys hear what Miss Su just said a moment ago!? My goodness, absolutely cool!! I thought she was just a rich girl obsessed with love, but she turned out to be so impressive!"]
"Jiang Beiyu is such a disgrace, worse than a dog, fickle and corrupt! By the way, who’s standing next to Miss Su? So handsome, they’re a perfect match!"]
...
Real-time comments varied widely, everyone sticking to their own opinion!
Meanwhile, at the scene, seeing that Jiang Beiyu had finally calmed down, Su Zhiruan said with a smile that hid a knife, "Mr. Jiang, you should know that the jewelry is mine, bought by myself, and you, without my permission and even without my knowledge, stole jewelry worth nearly ten million and refused to admit it."
"I did not!!" Jiang Beiyu’s eyes widened, as if he had never expected Su Zhiruan to say such a thing. He was tongued-tied, hastily adding, "But, all these were gifts from you! You admitted it yourself at the time!"
"Oh?" Su Zhiruan said meaningfully, her fingers interlaced, her gaze indifferent, devoid of any emotion, "Everything must be proven with evidence. Since you say they were gifts from me, why don’t you show some evidence, witnesses, or physical evidence?! Was there someone who heard me say I would give you these ten million? Or did I sign a gift agreement to give them to you willingly?"
"You! You are just too heartless!" When Jiang Beiyu had relied on Su Zhiruan’s feelings in the past and acted willfully, taking her jewelry box to give to Bai Yueyou, he didn’t care about any gift agreement or evidence. In his view, these things were his.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, he never would have expected that Su Zhiruan had been setting a trap since that time!
Jiang Beiyu was in constant retreat, his face pale. He knew he had lost completely.
He could only mutter to himself, "I’m not a thief, I didn’t steal your things!"
Su Zhiruan watched him with a cold laugh.
One never feels the pain until the bullet hits oneself.
His feigned deep affection was cheaper than trash!
If she were to so easily forgive the scum and cheap woman before her, she’d be an accomplice to the tragic death of the original girl!
"Since you claim that I am ruthless," Su Zhiruan stood up, looking down condescendingly at Jiang Beiyu, who was collapsed on the floor mumbling, her gaze piercing him, her voice beguiling, "would you like to hear another perspective?"
"What?! I’m not a thief! As long as you say I’m not a thief, then I am not a thief!" Jiang Beiyu had already broken down, clinging desperately to his denial, his eyes fixed on Su Zhiruan.
"Indeed, in another scenario, Mr. Jiang, you are indeed not a thief!" Su Zhiruan took a folder from a shelf nearby, opened it to a certain page, and threw it on the ground for Jiang Beiyu to see for himself.
With a faint smile, she casually explained to Jiang Beiyu, "In this scenario, I never bought the jewelry, you acquired these items from the luxury brand company by yourself, and it has nothing to do with me. You are not the thief who stole my items, from beginning to end, our dealings are not implicated in this scenario!"
"Yes! Exactly! That’s it!" Jiang Beiyu, desperate for any remedy, subconsciously felt that as long as he wasn’t a thief, everything else could be negotiated!
Su Zhiruan laughed.
Zhou Mingyu leaned against the side, his eyes brimming with admiration.

His Ruanruan was truly smart!
Jiang Beiyu’s mentality collapsed, almost delirious, but Bai Yueyou heard it all clearly in an instant.
At that moment, she no longer cared about seducing Zhou Mingyu, and instead knelt on the ground, clutching Jiang Beiyu’s arm and wailing, "Brother Beiyu! This vile woman is setting you up! Wake up!!"
"I’m not a thief! I’m not a thief!" Jiang Beiyu kept repeating.
Bai Yueyou grew frantic, her eyes filled with resentment towards Su Zhiruan.
She turned her head, continuing to shake Jiang Beiyu, trying to make him more lucid.
"Her second choice! It leads you to a greater crime!" Bai Yueyou cried out.
"Yes," Su Zhiruan interjected timely. She watched them both, speaking deliberately and unhurriedly, "You didn’t steal my jewelry box, and I can prove that I never bought those pieces of jewelry."
"So now, it’s up to Mr. Jiang to prove how he came into possession of these items without the brand’s initiative to gift them," Su Zhiruan smiled, summarizing in a sentence, "These items are all next season’s unreleased products, Mr. Jiang has preemptively trafficked secret documents of the next season, so naturally, he’s not a thief! Instead, he has earned a more resonant title—"
The last two words, she left unspoken.
The audience with good internet could make out her lip movements—savvy viewers guessed what she wanted to say.
—Spy!
At this point, Jiang Beiyu had only two paths to choose from.
Both options were dead ends meticulously engineered by Su Zhiruan herself. Even though the luxury brand company had already opened exhibitions for many reputable families, it was no secret, but behind Su Zhiruan was not only herself but also the assistance of Zhou Mingyu.
With merely a word from her, the luxury brand’s documents were delivered into her hands.
Either Jiang Beiyu could confess to the police that he was a thief, having stolen nearly ten million worth of jewelry! His assets would be confiscated along with a hefty fine, followed by several years in prison.
Or, he could be labeled a corporate spy, trafficking in secret company documents, leaking information!
Indeed, from the surface, the former would face a decade in prison, while the latter would encounter three to seven years.
But admitting to being a thief would offend Su Zhiruan, while the latter, he would alienate not just Jinghua but all enterprises nationwide, large and small. No one would want him, and entrepreneurship would no longer be a viable support for him.
For the rest of his life, he could only do menial labor.
If any company relentlessly sought to torment him further, then he would be like a grasshopper, forever under someone’s control.
"Choose." Su Zhiruan smiled sweetly.
