After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 847

Chapter 847: This Isn’t Extortion, Right?
What is going on here?

He didn’t even request to connect.

The man was flustered and about to run when he noticed someone in the chat had already recognized him.

[Isn’t that the guy who got kicked ?]

[Yeah, it’s him.]

[What’s he doing here? Is he seeking revenge?]

[But still, he’s pretty pitiful; after all, he’s going to lose a limb and will be disabled for the rest of his life. Poor guy.]

Hearing this, the man’s hand paused.

Right, he was the victim. What was there to be afraid of?

The ones who should be scared were this father and daughter duo!

With that thought, he put on a pitiful expression and recounted the events again.

He spoke with a sorrowful tone, “Yesterday, I took my wife and kids to the overpass to have fun. Since it was the New Year, and work was about to start again, I wanted to spend more time with my family.”

“When we passed by her stall, I saw how cute she was, so I wanted to support her business and let her tell my fortune. But when we said her predictions were inaccurate, her dad got embarrassed and kicked me!”

He glanced at Qin Lie, shrinking back slightly, seemingly fearful.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou clenched her little fists.

This bad guy was slandering her dad again!

Qin Lie, however, remained calm, placing a hand on Zhouzhou’s shoulder to signal her to stay composed.

He then stared at the man, a smile playing on his lips as he said sharply, “You claim my daughter’s predictions are inaccurate?”

Accurate, very accurate.

Even the man himself couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine.

But what did that matter? Whether they were accurate or not was still up to him to claim.

In fortune-telling, as long as he didn’t admit it, what could they do to him?

With that thought, his hesitation faded, and he boldly lied, “Yes! They were inaccurate! She even stirred up trouble between my wife and me! My wife almost left me!”

As he spoke, he lowered his head, putting on a pitiful act.

But suddenly, Qin Lie let out a laugh.

He had been waiting for that statement.

He pulled out his phone, and soon images filled the screen, showing this man with another woman, looking quite intimate.

Anyone could see something was off.

But that wasn’t all; the final image of a bank statement sent the situation into chaos.

On it, it clearly showed the man transferring money to an account belonging to the very woman he was seen with intimately.

At this moment, the man was completely panicking.

His wife exploded, “You said you weren’t cheating! What’s this?!”

“It’s photoshopped! It must be fake!” the man insisted, continuing to defend himself.

Qin Lie had anticipated this response. He pulled out an authentication report confirming the photos were original.

“By the way, you should be receiving a lawyer’s letter today. Whether it’s true or not, the judge will sort it out.”

He spoke calmly, showing no signs of panic.

In contrast, the man appeared increasingly agitated.

His wife was utterly devastated, lunging at him, hitting him repeatedly, “I’ve done so much for you, and this is how you repay me?”

Caught off guard, he endured a few hits before finally retaliating.

It ignited the fight further, and the woman became even angrier, exchanging blows with him as they fell from the bed to the floor, their struggle quite intense.

Unfortunately, the man had placed his phone on the bed, pointing at the ceiling, so nothing was visible.

Zhouzhou’s eyes darted around, and with her little chubby hand, she tapped a few keys on her computer.

Before long, the screen switched to a live feed from the man’s hospital room.

Now the viewers, who had only been able to hear the fight, could finally see what was happening, eagerly tuning in to watch.

Zhouzhou was also delighted, occasionally exclaiming in surprise, “Wow, so man also pulls hair during a fight!”

She watched with rapt attention, and when the couple seemed to tire, she chirped, “Hey, uncle, didn’t you say your leg got broken by my dad and you’d have to get it amputated? How come it’s all better now? What a medical miracle! Teach me how to do it!”

She looked utterly serious, even pulling out a small notebook as if earnestly seeking knowledge, causing the man’s face to flush red, then turn pale, and then green again.

The audience erupted in laughter.

Halfway through their laughter, they recalled that they had initially come to scold Zhouzhou after watching the man’s sob story, and their laughter quickly faded.

Looking at Zhouzhou on the screen, they felt a twinge of guilt.

How could they have criticized such a cute little girl?

In hindsight, they wished they could slap themselves.

Qin Lie didn’t need to look to know their reactions.

He said calmly, “He deliberately misled you and maliciously edited things; this isn’t your fault, and you shouldn’t feel bad about it.”

As soon as he said this, the viewers felt a wave of relief.

Right, they had been misled! They were being used! It wasn’t their fault.

Grandma Qin was also watching the livestream and was slightly puzzled upon hearing this. “When did A’Lie become so forgiving?”

If it were before, he would’ve sent a lawyer’s letter in response; that would have been the mildest option.

Where had she seen him comfort anyone, especially those who had insulted Zhouzhou?

This wasn’t like him at all.

Grandpa Qin understood and pointed out, “It’s a strategic retreat.”

Grandma Qin was stunned for a moment before realizing.

The public opinion had completely shifted; the man’s lies had all been exposed, and those who had been manipulated were now enraged, lashing out at him.

Using the public to gain personal advantage would only result in backlash.

He brought this upon himself.

Most viewers only saw things through their screens and were unaware of the complete story, so it was normal to be misled.

Besides, with so many people involved, even if Qin Lie was in the right, it wouldn’t prevent him from facing complaints.

In the end, the outcome might not even be favorable.

It was better to let it go, and everyone would benefit.

People are inherently selfish; their interests always come first.

Thinking of this, Grandma Qin couldn’t help but remark, “With Zhouzhou around, A’Lie has softened.”

In the past, he wouldn’t have cared about what others said.

He had always been strong-handed and wouldn’t waste time on such matters.

But with Zhouzhou, he was willing to lower himself.

Grandpa Qin nodded in agreement.

In fact, it wasn’t just Qin Lie; the entire Qin family had changed quite a bit.

Now that the truth was revealed, Zhouzhou’s lost merit was finally being restored.

Not only that, but there was even more to gain.

The Ancestral Master beamed with delight, nearly showing all his teeth.

Zhouzhou watched the couple still fighting and prodded with her little chubby hand, asking, “Daddy, they insulted me and slandered you. Can we make them pay?”

She certainly wasn’t trying to extort money!

She was just protecting her legitimate rights!
