Chapter 291: Only Coercion, No Inducement

After hearing what he said, Zhao Mingtao’s expression was not as ugly as before.

To be precise, it’s not that he’s not angry anymore, but he really can’t get angry at idiots. Even if his stupidity syndrome breaks out, Lu Siyuan on the opposite side probably won’t understand what stupidity syndrome is. It’s useless to argue with him.

Zhao Mingtao stared at Lu Siyuan for a long time, until the latter shouted several times in a somewhat nervous tone, then he grinned stiffly.

He said coldly:

“How to do?”

“Just do the test. If you are not sick, why are you afraid of the test?”

Now Lu Siyuan also got anxious:
“What do you mean, Zhao Mingtao!”

“When they told me I was sick, what was your first reaction? Don’t you know where this disease came from?”

“I didn’t even know they would push this disease onto you. What the hell has this got to do with me? If you have the guts to throw a tantrum at me now, why don’t you wait until you get out and question the people outside? You just think I’m easier to bully, right?”

Zhao Mingtao still had a sneer on his face, and the sarcasm in that smile was even stronger.

“Oh, I should have known something. You said it as if I had infected you with it. Lu Siyuan, let me tell you, you can eat whatever you want but you can’t talk nonsense!”

“Besides, who doesn’t know that you are good at playing?”

“You’re much more perverted than me. You’re so servile and licking people’s asses in front of people, but in private, you’re torturing people who are not as successful as you. To be honest, I’m really curious. How can you serve the sponsor well when you’re so weak and delicate? What’s the point of being so extravagant? You can’t get enough pleasure.”

“Take medicine? Taking medicine can’t change your innate conditions.”

“Although I always think that everyone’s temper should be respected, and I myself have some shameful things to do, but you are already considered a pervert and everyone in that circle knows about it. Those outsiders avoid you when they hear your name… Hey, buddy, this disease may come from somewhere, so it’s better for you not to say it so early.”

This has gone beyond quarreling, bickering and mocking others. It is purely a personal attack.

Lu Siyuan’s face turned red and his neck was thick. If he didn’t know that he couldn’t beat Zhao Mingtao, he would probably attack and hurt him in the next second just like he did when he beat Shu Yi.

And Shu Yi… Shu Yi was not afraid at all, and listened with her eyes wide open.

She knew that Lu Siyuan had a financial backer, otherwise how could he have so many good resources on his own, but she didn’t know who the financial backer behind this man was.

Originally, when Lu Siyuan introduced her to Zhao Mingtao, Shu Yi thought he was just a pimp who relied on being a broker to gain connections and resources, and he didn’t necessarily have a fixed candidate, but now it seems that this is not the case.

The melons and relationships here seem to be much more complicated than she imagined?
Lu Siyuan held it in for a long time, and finally uttered a sentence:

“You fucking fart!”

“Even if I was having an affair, there’s no way I got the disease from them! Absolutely impossible!”

Zhao Mingtao sneered without saying anything. The atmosphere suddenly became quiet and came to a stalemate.

…………

In the woods, about twenty or thirty meters away from the three people.

Han Fei, Qi Qingyi, and Nie Wenjin poked their heads out, hiding behind some of the few bushes, with their ears perked up, trying to eavesdrop more clearly.

Fortunately, the voices of Lu Siyuan and Zhao Mingtao arguing were getting louder and higher in pitch, otherwise, given the distance between them, it would have been difficult to eavesdrop on their entire conversation.

The main reason for being so far away was because we were bringing Nie Wenjin with us. She was in a wheelchair, so she had to be covered by something wide enough to hide. Otherwise, if she just hid behind a tree, this wasn’t a primeval forest, and it would be difficult for an ordinary coconut tree to completely block the wheelchair.

Staying farther away can also reduce the risk of being discovered. Even if they discuss in a low voice, as long as they don’t yell like Lu Siyuan and the others, it will be fine. They will also have enough time to run away.

The most important thing is that anyone who has heard neighbors quarreling in the community at night knows that if the environment is quiet enough and the quarrel is intense enough, the content of the quarrel can be heard clearly in several surrounding buildings. A mere twenty or thirty meters is not a problem at all.

So, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little difficult, as long as you can be heard and not be discovered, that’s enough.

“Oh my god…are they talking so excitingly?”

Qi Qingyi is the kind of person who can’t help but complain when she overhears gossip. After hearing the first part, she covered her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice:
“No wonder they had to walk so far before they started arguing. If this were put on the live broadcast room, it would probably be the part that can’t be broadcast!”

Han Fei’s mouth twitched.

Never mind whether this thing can be broadcast or not, anyway, the audience has probably heard it now, or even heard it more clearly than them. After all, Lu Siyuan and his team have three hidden cameras. The audience in the live broadcast room can listen to people quarreling from a first-person perspective, which is much more exciting than eavesdropping from thirty meters away.

Moreover, the authorities have already given notice, so does Feiniao still dare to intervene…

Unless Zhu Chengbiao takes the initiative to close someone’s live broadcast room, or someone in the video is secretly running naked, it is basically impossible.

Nie Wenjin frowned and said softly:

“Don’t you think these things are offensive? I’ve heard about them occasionally before, but I was too lazy to listen. If it’s just the story, it’s fine. Sometimes they even describe the details. It’s really…”

Qi Qingyi was stunned:
“Details? What details? Aren’t the details they just mentioned considered details?”

Even Han Fei couldn’t bear to look at her innocence and said speechlessly:

“If this counts as a detail, why don’t you think about what Zhao Mingtao just said, if it were expanded into a 10,000-word narrative.”

“When spreading gossip, no matter if it’s true or not, they can even be so specific as to eavesdrop under someone’s bed, so it’s better for you not to know.”

Qi Qingyi thought for a moment, and then decisively chose to give up thinking.

Just thinking about it makes my brain go dirty.

She scratched her head and said:

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this… I’m a little curious, why did Lu Siyuan react like that?”

“Zhao Mingtao scolded him so much, but he didn’t seem to want to refute anything else. I guess Zhao Mingtao didn’t say anything nonsense, but he just kept staring at the source of the disease and refused to admit it. Is this important? It’s not the point at all!”

“Even he himself has admitted that he is ill. It sounds like someone outside has tampered with the results of Lu Siyuan’s report and replaced them with Zhao Mingtao. Isn’t the most important thing now to persuade Zhao Mingtao to give up proving his innocence? Why is he focusing on this?”

As she spoke, Qi Qingyi looked at Han Fei with a questioning look in her eyes.

Han Fei looked at Nie Wenjin. Nie Wenjin raised his eyebrows slightly:

“I don’t know why you’re looking at me.”

“Yi Yi is my fan, she should know that even if I have friendships with people in the industry, they are mostly girls, or directors and producers. Male stars basically stay away from me. I am afraid of getting involved with them, lest the fans think I will steal their brothers.”

“I don’t even want to get in touch with people like Lu Siyuan, and I don’t understand why he does this.”

“Come to think of it, you’re the one who knows him best here.”

Han Fei was silent for a moment, somewhat speechless.

Although this was indeed the case, he didn’t want to continue to have anything to do with Lu Siyuan.

After hesitating for a long time, he sighed and said:
“Think about the relationship between the primary and the secondary first.”

“As far as I know, Lu Siyuan was heterosexual before he entered the industry. He had an ex-girlfriend, but later he started to approach men in order to curry favor with them. In other words, his actual emotional needs were with women.”

“So, if his sponsor is a certain man and he is a 0 during the relationship with the sponsor, he will definitely satisfy his needs through other means. This is why Zhao Mingtao just said that he is very playful.”

“Isn’t the result out yet?”

“No matter how much he has sex in private, it is highly likely that he has never had any physical sex with anyone. Even if he has had sex with both men and women, to put it bluntly, hasn’t he been a woman enough in front of his sponsor? He will definitely not be a zero anymore.”

“That is to say, apart from the sponsor, no one else will infect him, because he simply does not have the ability to be infected.”

“It seems that Zhao Mingtao also knows about this matter. So think about it again. What did he mean by what he just said?”

Qi Qingyi felt like her CPU was about to burn out. It wasn’t just that her brain was dirty, but the main problem was that her head was buzzing and she couldn’t think straight.

After a while, she opened her mouth, looked in Lu Siyuan’s direction with a slightly distorted expression, then turned back to Han Fei and said:
“I seem to understand…”

“He wants to use this incident to threaten Zhao Mingtao and make him cooperate with him?”

“Zhao Mingtao has a close relationship with his financial sponsor. The three of them are actually in the same boat. They prosper together and suffer together. The cost of harming Zhao Mingtao is the smallest, so he must find a way to force Zhao Mingtao to agree.”

She wanted to say something else, but she felt someone tugging at the corner of her clothes. When she lowered her head, she found that Nie Wenjin’s hand was grabbing the hem of her clothes, and his eyes were full of warning disapproval.

Nie Wenjin was signaling her not to say anything more.

Qi Qingyi was a little confused. There were only three of them, and they were talking in private. There were no staff around them and no cameras. Why did they have to be so careful about their speech?

However, it was Nie Wenjin who issued the warning after all, and she trusted her idol very much, so even if she was confused, she said nothing and kept her mouth shut.

Seeing Qi Qingyi obeying, Nie Wenjin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Han Fei.

“Since Lu Siyuan has already come this far, if they reach a cooperation, it will be a lot of fun.”

“He is afraid that Zhao Mingtao will continue to prove himself. Later, the program crew will send a plane to deliver the test kit. If Zhao Mingtao is found to be fine, then Director Li will have every reason to suspect that there is something wrong with the report and ask all the guests to take the test again. Then Lu Siyuan will be completely helpless.”

“You hate Lu Siyuan so much, why don’t you do something to give him a push?”

Han Fei was a little shocked.

It wasn’t that she was shocked by Nie Wenjin’s role in fanning the flames. She had been forced to do the dirty work for Wushuang before, and now that she had completely turned against the authorities and was working hard to earn credit, it was only natural for her to want Liu Shuangcheng, Zhao Mingtao, and even Lu Siyuan to suffer.

However, Nie Wenjin was just trying to stop Qi Qingyi from making more guesses. If she knew about the existence of the hidden camera, then it could indeed be considered a kind of protection. But now she herself said such words directly without any concealment.

I’m not going to pretend anymore. I’m going to show my cards and let Liu Shuangcheng in the live broadcast room know that I’m not going to play around anymore?

Han Fei was a little confused about what she was thinking, but that didn’t stop him from continuing the conversation.

“They can’t reach a cooperation.”

He pointed at the two men facing each other in the distance and said firmly:

“If Lu Siyuan had spoken nicely and explained the pros and cons, Zhao Mingtao might have really agreed. But from my observation, Zhao Mingtao is a person who responds to soft words rather than hard ones, especially since this matter concerns his own vital interests.”

“The relationship between them is just an ordinary cooperative one. When there is profit, everyone is a good brother. When there is a conflict of interest, it is normal for them to fall out.”

“Originally, Lu Siyuan had begged him for this matter, but now he’s threatening him. This is simply going against Tian Gang. I don’t think he’ll agree to this.”

Nie Wenjin nodded, then shook his head:
“What you said about Zhao Mingtao’s character is correct. It fits with what I’ve heard. But the problem is that Zhao Mingtao is also aware that if Lu Siyuan is exposed, the interests of the higher-ups will be damaged, and he himself will be implicated and blamed.”

“There are so many people with bad tempers and who get mad easily, but I’ve never seen anyone who gets drunk and gets mad enough to rush into the office and beat up the boss.”

Han Fei was even more shocked.

The audience, or those who have read the paparazzi reports, all know that Zhao Mingtao is the marketing manager of Wushuang. It is not difficult to infer that his boss must be a senior executive of Wushuang.

There are really only two people who can be called boss by Zhao Mingtao.

Nie Wenjin’s words were just short of telling the audience who Lu Siyuan’s financial backer was.

She wants to die?!

You know, even though the authorities have already made plans and taken action, the person hasn’t been caught yet, so this matter is not over yet.

Even if she doesn’t worry about herself, she has to worry about her adoptive father or something…

“Haha, then let’s continue listening and see what Zhao Mingtao has to say.”

Han Fei could only laugh it off and brush the topic off, trying to minimize the presence of her two sentences.

The three of them looked again at the place twenty meters away.

Sure enough, when they finished this conversation, the quarrel broke out again.

I don’t know what was said before, but now Zhao Mingtao’s roar was 20 to 30 meters away, and it was still as if he was roaring next to him. The sound was very loud, and he even grabbed Lu Siyuan’s collar:
“You little white-faced guy, you dare to threaten me, right? Fine, I’ll find someone after the show today to remove all your endorsements and ban you from all platforms. Let’s see how you can talk to me!”
