417: The real and fake daughters clash! [Please give me a gift!]

( ๑ ¯ ㉨ ¯ ๑ ) Toy bear actual photo.

Two and a half minutes later, the camera on the toy bear was removed, and in front of everyone, the surveillance video was projected onto the TV... The camera's perspective was directly facing the headboard.

It clearly captured the pure solid wood, ancient and fragrant Chinese-style room.

The room was spotlessly clean, simply decorated, and anyone who entered would instantly be captured and recorded by the lens.

Reference room.

Creak—

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Bodyguard Captain Old Chen, and several maids walked in one after another... After entering, they dispersed and began searching the room.

When Old Chen searched alone to the bedside, he first pretended to casually glance around.

Seeing that the maids were all busy meticulously checking other areas and no one was paying attention to him... The next second!

In a flash, Old Chen suddenly pulled an item from his in my arms and quickly stuffed it under the pillow.

As for what he stuffed?!

The screen clearly showed it was Xu Shuyun's lost and found diamond necklace... Perhaps due to a guilty conscience, Old Chen looked very nervous. He glanced around again, and seeing that no one noticed his small action, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he flipped open the pillow and began to act with great flair.

"Oh my goodness?! Look what I found?!"

At this point in the video, the truth was already clear.

Everyone had different expressions, and they all cast complex gazes at Bodyguard Captain Old Chen, whose face was ashen.

If it weren't for the surveillance footage, they probably wouldn't have believed, even if they were beaten to death, that the culprit... would actually be Old Chen, who usually seemed honest, loyal, and hardworking... It truly echoed the old saying of their ancestors:

Hearts are separated by bellies.

You can draw a dragon or a tiger, but you can't draw its bones; you can know a person's face, but not their heart... "I never would have thought! Old Chen is actually this kind of person? He stole the diamond necklace himself and even dared to frame Miss Ling? How bold!"

"I knew this old guy wasn't good news! He looks honest and simple, but he's full of bad intentions!"

"Exactly, exactly, he always liked to swipe my cigarettes! He'd say: 'Smoking too much causes lung cancer? I'm helping you quit!' ( grass dish grass ) Damn it!"

"Hmph! This person not only loves petty gains but is also very lustful. I often catch him looking at the maids' big butts with lewd eyes, and even his gaze towards Madam is a bit off. His intentions are truly despicable!!!"

"( ˉ ▽ ￣ ～ ) Cut~~ His computer is full of adult films! And he especially likes watching SM and cuckold-themed ones. He's a total pervert! Disrespectful of his age! I'm too embarrassed to even talk about him!"

"Every night, whenever Old Chen has free time, he likes to watch female streamers in the dorm and spends all his monthly earnings on tipping them. Last time, he connected with a female streamer for a PK and said all sorts of vulgar things to her, making various crude gestures like sticking out his tongue and hugging his chest!"

"Really? I've had less contact with Old Chen and always thought he was very honest and decent? If it weren't for the huge age gap, I almost said yes when he confessed to me last month. Thank goodness! Thank goodness!"

"( Ò ω Ó ױ )! What? He confessed to you? A while ago he also told me he liked me and wanted to be my boyfriend or something? He's an old scumbag, isn't he?"

"You guys were harassed too? Me too! I heard even Wang Ma received a love letter! This scumbag casts a wide net, suitable for all ages, right?"

...As the saying goes: when the wall falls, everyone pushes.

Due to Old Chen's high position and authority, his many years of diligent service, and the trust he had earned from the Tang Family... many people, even if they were dissatisfied with him, simply kept it to themselves.

Now, Old Chen's shameful behavior has been exposed.

Regardless of the reason, he certainly couldn't stay in the Tang Family anymore, so there was no need to be polite to him.

Hearing everyone's complaints, the Tang Couple exchanged glances, only then realizing that Bodyguard Captain Old Chen was such a two-faced person in private.

They had even thought Old Chen was honest and decent, planning to arrange a good retirement for him.

Who would have thought that Old Chen's years of apparent honesty were all a disguise?!

..."Old Chen! Please give me a reasonable explanation!!!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding our years of master-servant relationship and sending you to the police station."

Tang Guoan said angrily, his face cold.

At the same time, he rewound the playback, finally pausing the video at the scene where Old Chen stuffed his hand under the pillow... On the big screen, Old Chen's arrogant smiling face after his conspiracy succeeded, and his horrified, pale face after his ugly true colors were exposed, formed a stark contrast.

Beside him, Tang Ling folded her arms and sneered non-stop.

"Heh heh... No wonder you, Uncle, were so confident, so certain that I stole it, constantly jumping out to testify."

"Turns out... the thief was crying 'stop thief'! You~~ are truly wicked~~"

"..."

Faced with irrefutable evidence, realizing there was no room for maneuver, Old Chen gritted his teeth and turned to flee.

But the bodyguards, who had been watching his movements, under Tang Guoan's fierce gaze, rushed forward, directly pinning down their former captain, and with an arm on each side, forced him to his knees before the Tang Family.

"Old Chen, I'm so disappointed in you! At this point, you can't possibly think you can escape, can you?"

"Confess and be lenient, resist and be severe!"

"Answer me, why did you frame my daughter, what was your reason?"

"As long as you reveal the mastermind behind you, then, for the sake of your many years of dedicated service to my Tang Family, I will still grant you a dignified departure, allowing you to leave with a sum of retirement money."

"..."

Tang Guoan's eyes were full of coldness as he stared down at Old Chen.

Actually, no matter the outcome of this investigation... he would not let go of this 'old retainer'. Ever since he learned that the other party had stolen his wife's underwear and tried to cuckold him, like Cao Cao... As a man, Tang Guoan couldn't be so magnanimous as to forgive him, and then there was this 'theft' incident?!

Hmph! ( • ́ へ • ́ ╬ ) New grudges and old hatreds will be settled together!!!!!

On the other side.

Knowing that if he revealed the mastermind, Tang Guoan would not pursue legal responsibility and would even give him a large sum of money for retirement, Bodyguard Captain Old Chen couldn't help but be swayed.

Hesitating, he unconsciously turned his head to the side.

Tang Ling followed his gaze, and her eyes met a pair of slightly flustered ones. In the staredown, she suddenly grinned, raised an eyebrow, and teased:

"─ ━ _ ─ ━ ✧ Oh oh oh~~~~"

"We're asking you about the real culprit, Uncle, why are you looking at Little Rou? | _ ・ )"

"You wouldn't be trying to say... Little Rou is the mastermind behind you, would you?"

"No way! No way! Little Rou is so pure and kind, you must be slandering her, right? Right, Xiao! Rou! Mei! Mei!"

"..."

Tang Ling spoke slowly, word by word, seemingly defending Tang Rou, but her words were full of a certain suggestive meaning.

Swish swish swish—

Under Tang Ling's meaningful gaze, everyone present collectively turned their strange looks towards Tang Rou.

Some quick-witted individuals had even already connected it to a whole host of TV drama plots about 'real and Fake Heiress's battling it out'... If Tang Ling were truly branded a 'thief' because of this incident, her reputation in Modu would be completely ruined.

And the biggest beneficiary of this outcome would naturally be the Tang Family's other... Fake Heiress, Tang Rou!

Could it be... The more they thought about it, the more terrifying it became ( Ò ω Ó ױ )?!!

Facing countless gazes of suspicion, disdain, or amusement.

Tang Rou was so nervous she almost suffocated, feeling as if she had thorns in her back, sat on pins and needles, had a fishbone in her throat, and walked on thin ice... She knew that if she couldn't explain this matter clearly, her reputation in the Tang Family would surely plummet... "I'm not, I didn't, Sister Ling, don't talk nonsense! How could I be the mastermind?"

"Uncle Chen, you watched me grow up too, you can't just throw dirt on me for your own bright future, can you?"

"Don't forget, your daughter is about my age, and she's almost taking her college entrance exams this year, right?"

"If she knew you were slandering a girl her age so casually, how disappointed would she be in you? And what would Auntie Chen think?"

"..."

Tang Rou immediately denied everything three times, and then subtly brought up Old Chen's family, instantly chilling the man's heart by half.

He looked up at Tang Guoan's gloomy face, and a decision had already formed in his mind.

Having been in the Tang Family for so many years, Old Chen knew the temperament of every member of the Tang Family very well.

If he were to accuse Tang Rou on the spot, it would bring shame to the Tang Family. Once the news spread, the media would widely report it with headlines like "Real and Fake Heiress at odds, framing each other," damaging the Tang Family's reputation.

The Tang Family Group would be significantly affected, whether in business or stock prices.

At that time, not only Tang Rou, but other members of the Tang Family would also not let him off, and he shouldn't even dream of a dignified exit with retirement money... And his wife and children, having lost the Tang Family as their backing, how would they live in luxury in the future? How would they immigrate abroad? Go to school? How...?

Tang Rou, after all, was a Tang Family Qianjin, and a rather favored one.

If he took all the blame now, he would have leverage over Tang Rou in the future, allowing her to privately take care of him and his family... As Old Chen pondered and weighed the pros and cons, the confrontation between the real and Fake Heiress continued!

To retaliate against Tang Ling's sarcastic remarks from earlier.

Tang Rou took a deep breath, trying her best to calm her nervous feelings, forced out a harmless smile, and said with a smile:

"Sister Ling, you said that toy bear was given to you by Cousin?"

"But how did you just happen to place it by the bedside? And just happen to have the recording function on? Aren't you usually afraid of privacy leaks?"

"..."

These words, seemingly artless, actually had an underlying meaning, suggesting that Tang Ling was directing and acting, crying 'stop thief' herself.

( ˇ ˍ ˇ ) Think~~~

Upon closer thought, everyone actually found it quite reasonable?!

If Tang Rou were truly unjustly labeled as a 'scheming girl who framed the real Qianjin' because of this incident, her reputation in Modu would also be completely ruined.

And the biggest beneficiary of this outcome would naturally be the Tang Family's other... Real Qianjin, Tang Ling.

Thinking this way, it also seemed logical and reasonable.

Oh my ( ｷ ｀ ﾟ Д ﾟ ´ )!!!

The open and secret struggles between rich young ladies are so complicated, comparable to 'Empresses in the Palace' and 'Beyond the Realm of Conscience'!

I, I... I need to grow a brain!!!!!!

"Xiao Rou Sister is overthinking! This is just a means of self-protection!"

"I don't want to be falsely accused like last time, without knowing why, and unable to prove my innocence. Hmm, that was the time on the stairs..."

"..."

Facing Tang Rou's counterattack, Tang Ling showed no fear.

Ever since Dad Tang and Mom Tang's attitudes changed, plus having the backing of her golden finger Cousin and Cousin's wife, she felt fearless!!!

At this moment, the real and Fake Heiress were unyielding, clashing fiercely.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense and volatile.

Just then!

Lin Xuan acted as a peacemaker, stepping forward with a laugh to smooth things over and redirect everyone's attention back to Old Chen.

"There's no need for you to argue. Just interrogate this uncle and you'll know the truth."

"Uncle, have you not thought about telling the truth yet? Where did you steal this diamond necklace? Or... who gave it to you?"

"I advise you to think carefully before answering..."

"After all, this is a diamond necklace worth tens of millions, an extremely large sum, enough to constitute theft. If you take the blame yourself, you'll be sentenced to at least ten years in prison."

"..."

Imprisonment? Ten years?

Hearing that the consequences were so severe, Old Chen was truly frightened.

But after much thought, he finally gritted his teeth and, trembling, admitted to the 'theft'.

"I stole this diamond necklace!"

"I was possessed, feeling that a monthly salary of just over 100,000 yuan wasn't enough to spend at all."

"So I thought of making a fortune before retirement; if I succeeded, I would be completely free from financial worries for the rest of my life."

"..."

Hearing Old Chen take all the blame, Tang Rou immediately breathed a sigh of relief, a relaxed smile reappearing on her face.

Very good, Old Chen is still sensible... After finishing the 5 doses of traditional Chinese medicine I bought earlier, I bought another 5 doses today. Still drinking traditional Chinese medicine for 5 days, I wonder when it will end?! ( ꒦ _ ꒦ )

Everyone, please take good care of your health!

I have one last chance to change the book title. Today I've already made 5 covers on Taobao [total 25 yuan]. Everyone, which book title do you think is good?

Because it's troublesome, I'll use one cover for all... One second, one point, the vegetative female lead is woken up by my touch.

You were told to bring good luck, but you woke up the vegetative female lead?

Everyone despises the female lead for being a vegetative person? Then I'll marry her.

Villain: After marrying the vegetative female lead, I went crazy from touching her.

Protagonist's daily question: Has my sister been woken up?

The original title of this book: "Villain: Marrying the Vegetative Female Lead, Crazy Touching."

After the first revision: "As Soon As He Slipped Into The Vegetative Female Supporting Character's Bed, He Woke Up In Fright."

This time: "???"

I hope o(＞﹏＜)o it's not the original title, so there can be new recommendations... The next day, it's currently 10:35.

Urgent question now!

Two of the above book titles have currently been rejected, suspected of being pornographic or something... I've changed the character ' rush' (chong) to try again.

Also, that one: "One second, one point, the vegetative female lead is woken up by my touch!"

I woke up from a nap and didn't feel good about it, so I thought of two new titles. Which one of the two do you think is more appealing, with a bigger buzz and traffic? I'll see which one gets more votes and immediately have someone make the cover!

1. "Villain: Protagonist, Come Quickly! Your Brother-in-Law Is Being Bullied."

2. "Transmigrated: My Beautiful Vegetative Wife Is The Mastermind Villain."

Which one is better? Urgent, urgent, vote!

1 or 2?
