Chapter 98 - Interstellar Internet Celebrity Raising a Bun

Chapter 98: Chapter 96: Interstellar Internet Celebrity Raising a Bun"Firstly, regarding the issue where I was once accused of using improper methods to steal company benefits, it was entirely a conspiracy by some people. I also don’t understand why Qin Shu compensated others on my behalf back then," Ye Qiu spoke unhurriedly, yet the internet exploded with her statement.

What exactly did she mean by that? Considering the conflict between them, netizens were waiting for Ye Qiu’s explanation, especially since evidence of Ye Qiu’s past transactions had surfaced online.

"The truth about what happened back then has now been revealed. It wasn’t me who harmed the company’s interests, but someone who was instructed by certain individuals to deliberately frame me. I have obtained the evidence and have already reported it to the police, who have sued the perpetrator. He has now confessed that the person who directed him was Qin Shu. I don’t know if he’s lying, but after the incident broke out, Qin Shu stopped me from reporting it to the police, and even overstepped to pay the fine on my behalf because my husband had an accident and I found out I was pregnant, leaving me without enough energy to deal with so many issues, which is why it took so long to prove my innocence."

After hearing this, netizens had already verified the information on the police department’s official website, and Ye Qiu had anticipated all of this, having asked the Jiang Family to uncover the truth for her a month earlier.

The fact that she was framed is true, because with the pressure from the Jiang Family, the police acted very swiftly, quickly finding the loopholes and evidence; the investigation results were published ten days ago, and netizens quickly discovered the course of events.

Since Qin Shu had always been on Rebellion Star and there was no direct evidence to prove that she orchestrated the scheme, the police had not questioned her. If she could have delayed causing trouble for two more days, perhaps she wouldn’t have carelessly let this incident leak.

Unfortunately, there’s no ’if’ about it; some zealous netizens have already discovered that there indeed was a Water Army pushing the narrative that Ye Qiu sold out company interests. At this critical moment, who else but Qin Shu would do such a thing?

So, Ye Qiu’s speech today has put Qin Shu in a very precarious position. Yes, they were good friends for many years, so why did Ye Qiu suddenly deny their friendship? Wasn’t it because Qin Shu framed her first?

Yet their past disparity was so large, why would Qin Shu go to such lengths to frame her? Many netizens were puzzled, but Ye Qiu’s next words explained why, despite their fallout, Qin Shu still tried so hard to reconcile.

"Secondly, I officially declare today that the new Body Forging Technique is the life’s work of my master, who said when he passed the Body Forging Technique to me that it would be taught for free to the citizens of the alliance, and not become a tool for any family to gain benefits."

Ye Qiu’s statement clearly indicated that the Qin Family was coveting her Body Forging Technique, which also explains Qin Shu’s actions these past few days.

Some smart netizens have already thought of the upcoming elections in a few months; so, what does the Qin Family want to gain through the Body Forging Technique? Involuntarily, they began to suspect conspiracy theories, while also starting to dislike the Qin Family—as the creator of the Body Forging Technique had clearly stated it would be distributed freely to the public, did the Qin Family intend to monopolize it?

"Give the streamer a thumbs up; a streamer who can ignore countless riches to benefit the citizens is a true hero."

"I just want to ask the streamer when she will stream to teach Level 2 of the Body Forging Technique, I’ve already donated this month’s salary, earnestly requesting a promise."

"Ye Qiu has no shame, saying so much, do you have evidence to prove Princess Shu sabotaged you?"

"Ye Qiu apologize, Ye Qiu get out of the alliance."

"I’m also done with Qin Shu’s fans, Princess Shu? The Empire has fallen, everyone is equal, where does a princess come from!"

"Huh, just a Body Forging Technique, talking as if she’s so great, do you think our Princess Shu would care? The streamer is too shameless."

"I’m about to die laughing, any normal person can see the importance of the new Body Forging Technique, the Qin Family wouldn’t care? Joke."

"Idiotic fans, get out of the livestream. I’m offering a month’s salary, kneeling and begging the streamer to start broadcasting Level 2 Body Forging Technique as soon as possible."

In the chatroom, all sorts of comments could be seen. Everything that needed to be said had been said. Those who understand will naturally get it, and you can never wake up those who pretend not to understand. Anyway, after today, the Qin Family should know that the conflict between her and Qin Shu has deteriorated to an irreconcilable extent, and there’s no way she would hand over the Body Forging Technique to the Qin Family – that’s enough.

However, she still responded to the viewer who had persisted and tipped two months’ salary: "Due to certain reasons, the broadcasting of Body Forging Technique will be temporarily suspended, but it will not exceed five months. After five months, Level 2 of the Body Forging Technique will meet everyone. Please look forward to it and you will not be disappointed. During this waiting period, I suggest everyone to practice Level 1 of the Body Forging Technique repetitively, which will make it easier for you to practice the subsequent content."

Although five months is a bit long, those who truly want to learn would not criticize her. After all, it’s already great that she is generously sharing her knowledge; how could they commit such acts of betrayal? It’s better to heed the livestream’s advice and practice diligently.

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and Ye Qiu decisively ended the livestream.

On the other side, Qin Shu looked pale as the livestream ended. She felt intense hatred for Ye Qiu’s ruthlessness and indifference, and she was also immensely worried about the punishment her grandfather would give her after finding out she had botched things up.

"Ding...Qin Kai is calling..."

What Qin Shu feared the most was happening; she did not even dare to answer the call, but one minute later, Qin Kai ended the call and sent her a voice message instead.

"Dear sister, grandfather wants you to come home."

Qin Kai’s voice was as gentle as ever, but Qin Shu heard a threatening tone in it. She could ignore Qin Kai’s call, but she couldn’t ignore a notification from the head of the Qin Family, even though she knew there would be no good outcome upon her return.

"Grandfather." Qin Shu bowed her head, not daring to look directly.

"Bang..." A teacup brushed against her cheek and flew out, smashing on the expensive marble floor with a crisp sound, causing Qin Shu’s body to shake violently.

"What’s the use of raising you all these years if you can’t even handle a small matter." Qin Xiang’s sharp gaze fiercely stared at her. This time, even Qin Zhong dared not step forward to plead for mercy. The living room was eerily silent, and a few minutes later, Qin Xiang slightly narrowed his eyes, seemingly having made a decision.

"You’re not to go out during this period. Prepare yourself, you’ll be engaged to a boy from the Liang Family in a month."

Qin Shu’s heart clenched tightly; she only heard Qin Zhong ask weakly, "Which boy from the Liang Family?"

"Liang Feng."

At the mention of this name, Qin Shu’s nails dug fiercely into her palms. Liang Feng did not have a good reputation in their circles; he was even worse than that failure from the Yun Family, who at least had control over countless assets.

What about Liang Feng? Relying on his family’s power and favor, he had always been lawless. Over the years, countless innocent young men and women had perished at his hands. What good days could she possibly have if she married him?
