Chapter 127 Storm, Undercurrents

Lin Bei finished speaking.

There was another brief silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, a very faint sound came, like something being squeezed tightly.

It was probably a phone case, which was being gripped tightly in her palm.

"Send me her photo," Su Qianqian said calmly.

Lin Bei took the phone away from his ear, opened the MMS, and sent the group photo that Zhang Wei had just exported directly to Su Qianqian.

In the photo, Liu Wen is holding her boyfriend's arm, smiling broadly as she stands at the school gate.

A few seconds later.

Su Qianqian's voice came through the receiver again.

Although the tone didn't change much, Lin Bei, having known her for so many years, could hear a hint of anger beneath the calm.

"Okay, this is one of my roommates."

Just as I expected—Lin Bei thought to himself, this is exactly what I thought.

People who don't know Su Qianqian certainly wouldn't bother her for no reason.

Some people are also resentful of the rich: they feel a great sense of disparity and are unwilling to accept that others are doing well, which leads to their twisted mentality and such behavior.

"Um—listen to me, don't cause trouble for your roommates right now, go to sleep first." Lin Bei turned around and leaned against the railing, giving the order.

"I'll come to see you tomorrow morning and we'll discuss it in person."

""

"This matter can be big or small. If handled well, the people who spread rumors will pay the price. If handled poorly, it will leave you with hidden dangers."

Lin Bei said this entirely for Su Qianqian's safety.

If things fall apart now, and she encounters some extreme individuals who might do something to harm her, that would be terrible.

In his previous life, Lin Bei had heard that two roommates at school had a falling out.

That evening, one of them became increasingly angry and stabbed the other with a knife.

Su Qianqian was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Okay, see you tomorrow."

""

The drowsiness in her voice had completely disappeared.

But it was still calm.

Like the brief calm on the sea before a storm.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Bei did not return to his dormitory immediately.

He then dialed Song Qingning's number.

The phone rang several times before being answered, and Song Qingning's muffled voice came from the other end.

He sounded like he was sleeping soundly, as if he had been dragged out of bed: "Hey, what's wrong?"

'

"Are you secretly thinking about me because you're up so late at night?"

Lin Bei cut to the chase: "Our date tomorrow is temporarily canceled."

""

"What's wrong?" Song Qingning was taken aback: "Didn't we already make plans?"

'

"I've even decided which dress to wear tomorrow—wait, is that little green tea b*tch Wu Xiaoxun up to some trick again?"

"I knew she was up to no good when she posted that status update on social media."

"Something happened to Su Qianqian," Lin Bei interrupted her.

The drowsiness on the other end of the phone vanished in an instant.

"Shallowly?"

"What's wrong with Qianqian?"

'

"What happened to her?"

Song Qingning's voice suddenly grew louder, and in the background there was the sound of a blanket being violently thrown off.

It's highly likely that she has already sat up in bed.

Lin Bei briefly recounted how Su Qianqian had been posted on Tieba.

He retrieved the content and number of views of the post, and also told her the poster's information and the roommate's identity.

After hearing this, Song Qingning could feel her completely exploding through the phone: "Damn!"

'

"What shameless bastard would dare to do such a thing?"

"I'm coming right now—the dormitory building is locked and I can't get out."

Song Qingning said angrily, "That Liu Wen, is she tired of living?"

"Does she even know who Qianqian is? Is she trying to make Qianqian unable to stay at school by spreading these rumors?"

'

"I'm not done with her—you wait, I'll be the first one at their school tomorrow morning, and nobody can stop me."

"Don't rush things now," Lin Bei said, holding the phone a little further away. "I've already told her we'll meet tomorrow morning to talk."

"Give her a call now and chat with her."

"She may not say it out loud, but she must be feeling terrible inside."

Song Qingning took a deep breath, and then she heard the sound of slippers stepping on the ground.


"Okay, I got it. I'll start now."

"What time and where should we meet tomorrow?"

Lin Bei said, "At eight o'clock in the morning, right at the entrance of Su Qianqian's school."

,

"Don't rush in to look for people by yourself. Wait until I get there."

"Remember, don't alert them yet; those people won't escape."

""

Lin Bei hung up the phone after speaking.

He stood on the balcony for a moment, then sent another message to Wu Xiaoxun.

【Xiao Xun, something urgent has come up. We're canceling our date tomorrow. We'll reschedule.】

at the same time.

Song Qingning hung up Lin Bei's call, not even bothering to put on her slippers properly, her bare foot still on the dormitory floor, her finger already dialing Su Qianqian's number.

During those few seconds while waiting for the call to connect.

She paced back and forth in her dormitory, repeatedly chewing over the name Liu Wen in her mind until it was utterly fragmented.

As soon as the call connected, Song Qingning asked abruptly, "Qianqian, what exactly happened?"

"Lin Bei just told me that someone is spreading rumors about you on Tieba. Who is this shameless person who did this? Does she have a death wish?"

"

Su Qianqian's voice remained calm as always.

The calmness only made Song Qingning angrier: "It's okay, I already know who it is, I'll handle this myself."

"What are you going to do about it?!" Song Qingning shouted. "Lin Bei specifically told you not to alert them."

"What if those people are extremists? What if you clash with them and they become desperate and do something drastic?"

Soon, Song Qingning lowered her voice, but spoke faster and faster, "Listen to me, let's not talk about this on the phone."

Are your roommates here now?

"If they hear us, it will be troublesome if they destroy the evidence in advance. Let's chat on QQ."

Su Qianqian was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Her voice was still calm, but Song Qingning could tell that she hadn't rejected her concern.

The two hung up the phone and each opened QQ.

Song Qingning sat cross-legged on the bed, wrapped the blanket around herself, and typed rapidly on the keyboard.

Qianqian, what exactly happened these past few days?

When did your two roommates start targeting you?

[Besides spreading rumors on Tieba, have they done anything else?]

Su Qianqian replied to each message one by one.

He was caught red-handed using her shower gel, yet he acted as if it were his own fault.

She went to one of her roommates under the pretense of inviting her to dinner, tricking her into going there as a favor to introduce her to someone else, only to be exposed in front of everyone.

And some other minor issues from before.

Song Qingning grew angrier the more she looked, and stopped several times to take a deep breath.

She pinched the Pikachu pillow on the bedside table until it was deformed.
