Chapter 1227 The Ultimate Jealousy Manufacturer: He Da Hurts People!
"Who gave you Charlene's phone number?"

Lu Tao was convinced that someone had betrayed him, and after the initial shock, he was filled with uncontrollable rage.

He can betray others, even his closest girlfriend Mi Lai, but he just can't accept being betrayed by others.

Let alone actually doing it, he can't even accept the thought of it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have immediately assumed the identity of the other person's boyfriend after cheating on her, feeling like the one who was cheated on, and then gone crazy trying to kill the other person's real boyfriend.

In the original storyline, he also caused all sorts of trouble due to his excessive possessiveness.

That was just a bizarre reaction he made under the premise that it was all just a possibility he was imagining.

Now he feels that someone has clearly betrayed him, and it's even more unacceptable for him to be a brother.

Because of his past relationship with his girlfriend, he could at least somewhat accept the situation, but with his brother, he believed he had done the right thing and couldn't accept the possibility of such a thing happening.

As for Guan Peng?

That's not his brother!
"Is it Yang Xiaoyun? Or Hua Zi? Xiang Nan?"

"Neither!" He Chen laughed on the other end of the phone. "You told me yourself!"

"Impossible!" Lu Tao simply didn't believe it: "I admit you have a great memory, but I hid Xia Lin's phone number in the middle and back section. You couldn't possibly guess it all at once if you tried them one by one. Someone must have given you the answer directly!"

“You told me yourself!” He Chen laughed. “If you don’t believe me, then just assume that Xia Lin told me.”

"I didn't!" Hearing this, Xia Lin, who was standing next to him, quickly defended herself under Lu Tao's suspicious gaze: "Lu Tao, don't overthink it! We've been together the whole time, how can I tell him?"
I guess it was Mila who told him!
She just wanted to see us make a fool of ourselves!

Don't fall for it!

"Is it Mi Lai?" Lu Tao thought it made sense and calmed down a lot, but he still wanted to confirm with He Chen.

Miley is indeed the most likely candidate.

They have the motivation and the ability.

"How dare you say such things?" He Chen mocked. "Don't you know what kind of person Mi Lai is?"

If she were capable of doing something like that, how could you have hurt her so badly?
Alright, I've already told you the truth. If you don't believe me, then forget it!

I don't need to explain anything further to you.

"Charlene, this is my phone number. Feel free to contact me anytime!"

With that, she hung up the phone, leaving Lu Tao feeling suspicious, frustrated, and angry once again. Even Xia Lin's repeated attempts to comfort him were to no avail.

It wasn't Hua Zi and the others, it wasn't Mi Lai. He Chen had said that it was he and Xia Lin who told him, and Lu Tao was certain that he didn't tell He Chen. So, who was it?

Yes!
Charlene was indeed with him the whole time, but that doesn't prove everything.

Back then, she was still with Guan Peng, yet she still managed to hook up with him in front of him without making a sound. When she was with him, she answered Guan Peng's calls with complete naturalness.

If he hadn't been right next to her, looking closely, he really wouldn't have noticed anything unusual about her.

Since she was able to do this before, what difficulty is there in passing her phone information to He Chen in front of him now?
And with He Chen's abnormal, so-called high-definition image-based memory, she might be able to convey the information He Chen needs with just a glance.

Putting aside everything else, he can come up with many ways to transmit information.

For example, when he read out the number, when he read out her real phone number, there was a slight change in his eyes, and He Chen knew it both then and afterward.

Alternatively, one could blink and send their phone number to He Chen directly via Morse code. Where there's a will, there's a way.

In particular, the fact is that He Chen easily got Xia Lin's phone number and called her immediately, unlike him who foolishly dialed 20 phone numbers in a row before finally getting in touch with Xia Lin.

"Lu Tao, have you had enough?" Xia Lin was annoyed by his persistent tantrum. She had been enjoying it before, but now she was getting tired of it.

This feeling is absurd.

Because in most couples, it's the girlfriend who likes to tease and fuss, while the boyfriend is the one being teased and fussed. Once he's had enough of this teasing and fussing, he'll develop this feeling.

Now their genders have been switched.

"I told you, I didn't give my phone number to He Chen. It must have been Mi Lai who gave it to me. Don't you believe me?"

"I don't disbelieve you..." Lu Tao subconsciously softened his tone, but even though he said that, his eyes and expression clearly said, "I just don't believe you."

He couldn't trust Charlene.

Without him!

Previously, when he was caught cheating on Xia Lin with her boyfriend and beaten up, they sweetly told each other why they were attracted to each other.

He talked about rather fantastical things, like love at first sight, or feelings that come together.

Charlene's statement, however, was more realistic.

In summary, Mi Lai's best friend always talked about how talented and wonderful Lu Tao was, which aroused her curiosity and made her fall for him.

Then, when she actually met Lu Tao, she found that they got along very well and had a great rapport with each other, and she fell in love with him.

Driven by her previous curiosity and current attraction, when Lu Tao actually dialed her number, confessed his love, and asked her to come to his house late that night, she couldn't control herself and came over in the middle of the night to start their affair.

This was supposed to be wonderful and sweet.

But now, looking at He Chen's call to Xia Lin with this practical and actionable approach, it's no wonder he's worried about being cheated on.

Given how capable He Chen is, with Mi Lai's big mouth, she couldn't have missed mentioning it to Xia Lin before; it must have piqued Xia Lin's curiosity.

The fact that Xia Lin inquired about He Chen's situation after they got together is clear proof of this!

Then, when he first met He Chen, although he was unwilling to admit it, he simply did not believe that any woman could remain unmoved after seeing He Chen's face.

With this phone call, He Chen has completed all three crucial steps in his 'romantic story' with Xia Lin, and in fact, He Chen's steps were definitely more solid and impactful than his.

Moreover, it is always difficult to forge a new path, but easy to follow someone else's old path.

He Chen, with his superior strength, deliberately treads the path to success that He Chen has taken to get close to Xia Lin. Can you blame him for being jealous and causing trouble for Xia Lin?
That is to say, He Chen had his fairy-like girlfriend with him tonight, and he stayed by Xia Lin's side the whole time. Otherwise, if he had been as careless as Mi Lai and Guan Peng, He Chen would have taken his path tonight and left him with nowhere to go, wouldn't he?
Xia Lin could see through Lu Tao's unspoken thoughts, and felt helpless about it.

It's because she and Lu Tao didn't follow the usual path and broke the taboo that they are now facing the backlash.

Even though she guessed that He Chen's call might not have been to flirt, but rather to mock and sow discord, she and Lu Tao still fell for it and could only follow He Chen's scheme. Their lives were constantly disrupted by his phone call.

Mi Lai really made a good friend!

He Chen is truly the ultimate jealousy master!
He Da hurt people; this is now a consensus between her and Lu Tao.

Although the ways of understanding are different...
