Chapter 56 Shen Yuyuan is even more terrifying than she imagined.
The next second, in the hotel room, Li Qianqian's computer suddenly crashed with a blue screen. The edited smear articles and photos she had found on the hard drive were all instantly destroyed, with no possibility of recovery.
Meanwhile, out of her sight, the photo retoucher who had taken her deposit had his computer hard drive burned out.
Immediately afterwards, her phone started vibrating incessantly. The photo retoucher who had taken her deposit suddenly sent a series of red exclamation marks, leaving a message saying, "I'm not doing this job anymore, I'll refund your money, don't contact me again," before blocking and deleting her.
Li Qianqian was instantly stunned. What was going on? Why was she getting a refund for nothing?
She quickly tried to call the other party, but found that she couldn't get through; she had been blocked.
She hurriedly contacted the head of the online army, but the result was even more outrageous.
The other party had just received her deposit, and the thousands of fake accounts they had registered were instantly banned by the platform, and even their IP addresses were locked.
The online troll leader was terrified, thinking he had broken the law and fearing the police would come knocking, so he returned the deposit without saying a word.
Before Li Qianqian could even finish her questioning him, the head of the online trolls cursed her ancestors for eighteen generations.
The entire process took less than three minutes. All of Li Qianqian's plans collapsed completely, without even a ripple.
"What happened?! What on earth happened?!"
Li Qianqian frantically pounded on the black screen of her computer and frantically called the two people, only to receive repeated notifications that she had been blocked.
She slumped into the chair, her whole body ice-cold, a chilling sensation shooting from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She always felt that there was an invisible eye watching her intently from the shadows, and that her every move and every thought was being seen clearly.
No.
She can't stay here any longer.
She must leave immediately, right now!
Li Qianqian dared not delay any longer. She hurriedly stuffed the computer into her suitcase and ran out like a madwoman, dragging the suitcase with her.
As soon as she left the hotel, she drove straight towards the high-speed rail station, with only one thought in her mind: to run, to escape Jiangcheng immediately, and to get as far away from this terrifying place as possible.
Little did she know, Lu Zongming's men had already been following her.
One hour later, at Jiangcheng High-speed Railway Station.
Li Qianqian, dragging her suitcase, had just rushed into the entrance of the high-speed rail station when she was stopped by four tall bodyguards in black suits before she could even swipe her ID card.
"Ms. Li Qianqian, please come with us."
The lead bodyguard was expressionless and spoke in a cold tone, leaving no room for negotiation.
Li Qianqian's heart skipped a beat, and she panicked instantly, retreating hastily.
"Who are you? I don't know you! Get out of my way! Or I'll call the police!"
"We are Mr. Lu's people. Mr. Lu is waiting for you at the club."
The bodyguard stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and spoke in a tone that brooked no refusal.
"Ms. Li, don't make things difficult for us, and don't make yourself unhappy."
Mr. Lu? Lu Zongming?!
Li Qianqian's face turned deathly pale instantly, and all her strength seemed to have been drained away.
Who is Lu Zongming?
That's the head of a top-tier wealthy family in Jiangcheng, someone who can decide her life or death in Jiangcheng! Why would he come looking for her?
It's obvious without even thinking, it must be Shen Yu!
It's that unfathomable man!
She tried to struggle, but the bodyguard's hands were like iron clamps, gripping her arms tightly. She couldn't move at all and could only be dragged out of the high-speed rail station by two bodyguards and stuffed into a black minivan.
The car sped along and finally stopped in front of a private club halfway up the mountain in Jiangcheng.
This is Lu Zongming's private territory, with tight security. It is not open to the public on weekdays, and even prominent figures in Jiangcheng may not be able to get in.
Li Qianqian was pushed by her bodyguards into the club's underground meeting room.
The reception room was dimly lit and luxuriously decorated, yet it exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.
Shen Yu was sitting on the main leather sofa, a cup of tea between his fingers, his expression calm.
Lu Zongming stood to the side, his attitude respectful, not even daring to sit down.
The moment Li Qianqian saw Shen Yu, her legs went weak. If her bodyguards hadn't been supporting her, she would have collapsed to the ground.
Even though she had already found out that Lu Zongming held Shen Yu, who had saved his life, in high esteem.
In her imagination, however, this respect was merely a superficial formality. Given Lu Zongming's status, it was absolutely impossible for him to be so obsequious and servile towards a mere youth.
But now, Lu Zongming's humility has completely awakened her.
She belatedly realized that Shen Yuyuan was even more terrifying than she had imagined.
Even Jiang Manli, as the daughter of the Jiang family, would never allow Lu Zongming, a powerful figure in Jiangcheng, to be so humble.
She couldn't afford to offend Jiang Manli, let alone Shen Yu, who was even more powerful than Jiang Manli.
She finally felt scared.
While she was still in a daze, the bodyguard pushed her forward, and Li Qianqian fell directly to the ground. Her knees hit the hard marble floor, and she grimaced in pain, but she didn't dare to utter a sound.
Shen Yu raised his eyes and looked at her. His gaze was calm and expressionless, yet it carried an overwhelming sense of pressure.
This left Li Qianqian breathless and her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
"You know why I contacted you, right?"
Shen Yu took a sip of tea, his tone calm, yet every word was like a knife, piercing Li Qianqian's heart.
Li Qianqian swallowed hard, forcing herself to remain calm. She lifted her head from the ground and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"Mr. Shen... I... I don't know what you're talking about... I'm just an ordinary nobody, I've never offended you... Is there some misunderstanding?"
Even now, she still clings to a sliver of hope, thinking that as long as she denies it, the other party has no evidence and can't do anything to her.
"Misunderstand?"
Shen Yu chuckled and put down his teacup. The teacup landed on the coffee table with a soft thud, which startled Li Qianqian so much that she trembled all over.
The next second, an invisible divine pressure swept towards Li Qianqian.
This oppressive aura didn't hit her or scold her, but it directly affected her mind, instantly plunging her into an endless sense of suffocation.
It felt as if she had been pushed into the deep sea, surrounded by icy water. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn't breathe in any air, and her chest felt like it was about to explode.
Her face instantly turned purplish-blue, her hands frantically clutching her neck, her legs kicking wildly on the ground, her eyes almost bulging out of their sockets. The fear of impending death instantly engulfed her completely.
"Now you know why I contacted you?"
Shen Yu's voice remained calm, yet it seemed to emanate from hell, sending chills down her spine.
"I...I understand! I understand!"
Li Qianqian nodded frantically, making hoarse noises, her tears and snot mingling together, making a complete spectacle of herself.
As soon as she finished speaking, the suffocating feeling vanished without a trace.
Li Qianqian collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. Her whole body was soaked in cold sweat, as if she had just been pulled out of the water. Her eyes were filled with extreme fear when she looked at Shen Yu.
