Chapter 164
【Six million! You little bastard! You're not only thinking about paying off the five million in gambling debts but also extorting an extra million to use as gambling capital, huh?】
Ji Fei quickly skimmed through the messages and didn't notice this detail. The disgusting stuff is always nauseating no matter how many times you see it.
Qin Zhao was also disgusted to the core and couldn't vent his frustration, so he kept sharing it in the gossip group to let everyone else feel the disgust.
Six million is no small amount, almost enough to drain Sun Man of all her assets, but she had no choice but to do it.
Originally, Pei Mingxuan and the others thought it was just those explicit photos, which would be easy to handle in the country.
But then they heard there were also videos, secretly recorded, that could drive Sun Man to the brink of suicide. It was pretty clear what kind of videos they were.
If such videos were released, the domestic internet might quickly handle it, but there would still be a period of spread.
If it were just that, Sun Man might not collapse so quickly.
But the method of the threat was too vicious.
He also planned to sell them to foreign websites, which would turn it into a permanent scandal following her.
Sun Man was still very traditional and disciplined at heart. The thought of her videos being spread like that was unbearable for her.
Perhaps a strong-willed woman would dare to report everything to the police, but at that moment, Sun Man didn't dare. She didn't want to face it, just wanted to settle the matter quietly. Unable to find Lang Zhe to ask about the situation, she could only instinctively seek help from her relatives, only to find that there was no way out ahead, and even her relatives were harming her.
She had no one to help her, and the despair at that moment surpassed all her will to live.
Now, she was questioning the person who had brought her to this state, not knowing that it was all a self-directed, self-acted scam for money.
Facing her questioning, Lang Zhe looked quite regretful, "I really didn't know it would turn out like this. I really didn't mean it, Man Man, I..."
"You scoundrel!" Lu Fei heard this and, without a word, rushed up and slapped Lang Zhe twice, so hard that he fell to the ground.
Lang Zhe's mouth was bleeding, and he looked at Lu Fei in astonishment. After all, even his mother had never hit him like that.
"How did I give birth to such a fool? Get down on your knees to Sun Man!" Lu Fei knew this was a serious matter, one that could ruin a person's life. This girl, with such good acting skills, was just about to step onto the bright path of life. How could she bear this!
"Oh, what a sin, what are we going to do now?" Sun's Mother wailed.
Sun's Uncle, however, rolled his eyes and said, "This... Sun Man, is this why you asked us for money? But even if we did, it's too late, we can't gather that much. Why waste it? Or... or just let it go. After all, you're an artist, artists can do anything, right? Just consider it a self-breakthrough. And if it really blows up, it could be a wave of publicity, maybe even boost your popularity. Some foreign stars market themselves with such videos, don't they?"
"You know quite a lot," Pei Mingxuan directly mocked. "Why don't you make one and I'll help you become famous."
"How could I..." Sun's Uncle was immediately stumped and saw Sun Man's almost murderous gaze, which made him quiet down. "Isn't this just a last resort?"
At this moment, Lang Zhe, who was forced to kneel, quickly said, "Man Man, the videos absolutely cannot be released. You know I don't have money, otherwise I would definitely give you money to solve this problem. Think of a way to borrow money from someone else, okay?"
After saying that, his gaze even swept over Qin Zhao and Ji Fei.
At that moment, both of them felt like they had 'fat sheep' written on their heads.
【You want to die! Do I look like someone with that much money? You're actually targeting me, I see, you're tired of living.】
Qin Zhao also sneered in his heart, thinking Lang Zhe really dared to dream.
But it wasn't their turn to say anything, just as Lu Fei said, "Since it's my son who caused this, if you really want to do this, I'll pay the money."
Lu Fei didn't try to persuade Sun Man to report to the police, because no one knew what the outcome of that would be. Catching the person was certain, but what if the video leaked before they were caught?
As outsiders, they didn't dare to gamble with the future of the person involved. But since her son was at fault, she would take responsibility.
Everyone was a bit surprised looking at Lu Fei.
Lang Zhe was even more stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, as if he had accepted this statement.
【What a good son, turning a scam on his ex-girlfriend into a scam on his mother. As long as it gets you money, right?】
Qin Zhao sneered in his heart. It was said that gambling addicts were ruthless to their own kin, and now he had seen it for himself.
If there was a better way, he might really choose to scam his mother, and even scam more money. After all, Qin Zhao suspected that the so-called six million was actually the maximum Lang Zhe thought Sun Man could come up with.
But since they already knew the truth, they couldn't just let things go on. But how to expose it?
Qin Zhao couldn't think of a good way, so he went to the group chat to see, and the group exploded.
Seeing the extreme limits of human nature, the group was filled with all kinds of curses.
Only Qin Xian replied, "Since it's self-directed and self-acted, everything can still be salvaged. The videos and photos should still be in his hands. Sun Man will probably report to the police. To prevent Lang Zhe from going to extremes, it's best to find all the files first."
Qin Zhao was stunned and immediately started looking for Lang Zhe's phone, but then thought, what if he stored them somewhere else?
Then he heard Ji Fei's thoughts.
【Not sure if it's lucky or unlucky, but at least the videos that Sun Man was worried about haven't really been spread. They're all still on Lang Zhe's phone. He just used some means to disguise them as someone else's account and sent the photos to blackmailers, then sent some photo and video clips to scare Sun Man. If we can catch Lang Zhe immediately, everything will be fine. If not, it's troublesome. Should we listen to Lu Fei's suggestion? First, confirm the extortion charge and then catch him? To prevent him from running out of money and thinking of selling the videos... I always feel he's capable of such shameless acts. Or the simplest way, destroy the phone? But then there would be no evidence to convict him, right?】
Qin Zhao suddenly jolted, combining his brother and sister-in-law's words, it was almost certain that all the materials were in Lang Zhe's current phone.
And his brother's suggestion was to find those files, meaning not to destroy them, because destroying them would mean no evidence to punish this scoundrel.
But to prevent Lang Zhe from going to extremes, it seemed they had to control the phone first and then report to the police. But how to avoid suspicion of them knowing the truth in advance?
Ji Fei was also pondering when he heard Sun Man say, "No need, I choose to report to the police."
Aliali: 6743211ac4f3f33ac42e7315Qin Zhao was helpless, just as his brother predicted, wouldn't Lang Zhe panic?
Pei Mingxuan also nodded, "Actually, reporting to the police is the best. Extortion once means there will be a second. But... you're gambling with your future, Sun Man, have you thought it through?"
Sun Man's eyes were filled with sorrow but she nodded, "Sorry, Pei Jie, I can't sign with you for now."
Who knew what her future would be? But she didn't want to give in to those ugly people, she was willing to face all the storms.
"No!"
Lang Zhe suddenly stood up in a hurry. "My mom is going to help you, why are you being stubborn! What if those leak out..."
"Don't worry, I've seen those videos, the angles don't show you." Sun Man said, but then paused slightly, probably feeling something was off.
"Is that what I care about? I care about you." Lang Zhe quickly said, "Since you've already made such a big scene about suicide, I believe the other party wouldn't dare. It should only be this once, let's just consider it paying for disaster."
Sun Man, however, insisted, "I said I've died once, I don't care, I just want those who harmed me to pay the price!"
Lang Zhe's face finally couldn't hold it. His eyes hid a trace of undetectable ferocity, "Or, let's wait for news, maybe there's still a way to turn it around."
