Chen Zao continued to explain, "I never intended to film you, nor do I have a habit of secretly recording. If I were to secretly record, I wouldn't use my phone. It was only after that beast drugged your drink that I thought about recording evidence. If you don't believe me, look at this video; it started recording right after that beast smirked after his success."
Chen Zao held the phone out toward Rong Liya, but he did not lean closer; instead, he maintained a subtle distance from her.
Chen Zao could sense that something was off with Rong Liya. It was as if she had a fever of four degrees; her face was flushed, and her gaze was somewhat dazed.
She seemed to regard him as a piece of ice that could cool her down, as if she wanted to melt into him.
If it were an ordinary man, how could he resist such temptation?
Perhaps he could have easily taken advantage of the situation with Rong Liya.
But Chen Zao had been hardened by the trials of the apocalypse.
He would not let beauty lead him astray.
Getting involved with a well-known actress like Rong Liya would bring him nothing but trouble.
He had no desire to become a public figure, so he kept his distance from her.
Rong Liya listened to Chen Zao's words as if she were under heavy fire; nothing registered in her mind, and she felt increasingly agitated.
After seeing the video Chen Zao recorded, she was finally jolted back to reality by the terrifying events that had just unfolded, regaining a bit of her rationality.
Her mood quickly turned gloomy and restless.
What had happened tonight was truly too complicated for her to handle.
Qin Sheng, the second son of the East Sea Ship King, is someone she absolutely cannot offend!
However, because of Chen Zao, she has completely offended Qin Sheng tonight.
Or perhaps it is Qin Sheng who has completely offended her.
In any case, regardless of who has offended whom, their relationship has been thoroughly shattered.
In the future, she will inevitably face Qin Sheng's furious retaliation. What should she do?
With a shift in her gaze, Rong Liya realized that she must find a way to hold something over Qin Sheng to protect herself.
The video in Chen Zao's possession is solid evidence of Qin Sheng's infringement against her.
She must obtain that video from Chen Zao.
After coming up with this idea, Rong Liya immediately adopted a friendly demeanor to face Chen Zao: "Mr. Chen, no matter why you came here tonight, I hope this is all a misunderstanding. Let's not hold any grudges between us."
"Sure! That's exactly what I was thinking! I interrupted your filming at Old Gou Hot Spring and accidentally hurt your brother; that was indeed my fault. I formally apologize to you and hope you won't hold it against us in Gubei Town. Since I happened to save you tonight, there's no need for you to thank me. Let's call it even and ensure that neither of us gets involved with the other in the future. How does that sound?"
Rong Liya did not expect Chen Zao to be so friendly and apologetic, which greatly overturned her deeply ingrained negative impression of him.
Since Chen Zao wants to make peace, Rong Liya certainly would not refuse.
"Alright!"
Rong Liya boldly extended her delicate hand towards Chen Zao, making a gesture to shake hands. "Let's make peace."
"Make peace! But there's no need for a handshake. You don't seem quite right; it must be that beast's aphrodisiac kicking in. I’d better not have any physical contact with you, lest you think I'm being inappropriate."
Rong Liya's hand remained suspended in the air, creating an awkward moment.
Her already flushed and charming face turned even redder, resembling a ripe tomato.
She steeled herself and complained to Chen Zao, "Can't you speak a little less harshly?"
"Heh heh, I'm just a vendor selling Roujiamo, not cotton candy. Why should I speak so softly? It's better to be a bit blunt."
With a sigh, she decided not to bicker with Chen Zao anymore and asked him for the video. "Mr. Chen, I have an unusual request; I hope you can help me."
"You."
"The video on your phone is very important to me."
"You want me to delete this video, right? No problem, I'll delete it right now." Before Rong Liya could finish her sentence, Chen Zao pretended to delete the video.
"Don't! Don't delete it!" Rong Liya hurriedly stopped him.
"Not deleting?"
"This is evidence of Qin Sheng's infringement; how can it be deleted? Aren't you planning to use this to threaten Qin Sheng into donating to the Charity Association? If you delete it, how will you threaten him?"
"You can't be serious?" Chen Zao looked at Rong Liya as if examining a naive child and laughed. "You think this one video will make that bastard donate over fifty thousand? What an international joke! Ha ha."
Rong Liya was stunned. "So you... just now..."
"I was just giving him a way out. Do you really think I would beat him to death? I never expected him to donate. How much did I ask him to donate? I can't even remember; it was just a casual remark."
Rong Liya listened in disbelief. What kind of person was this vendor selling Roujiamo? It was so hard to understand.
"If he really had the heart to donate, that would be great. But I don't think he's that foolish. Someone like him, if I let him go, he will definitely come back for revenge. I forgot to remind him before he left—he better not come back for revenge, or I'll make him bleed more and donate more money. This time, I gave him a way out, but next time, I will make sure he donates for real."
Chen Zao's harsh words were spoken as if in jest, leaving Rong Liya dumbfounded.
Did this guy even know his own worth?
Did he realize how terrifying the other party was?
And he still expected the person to actually donate?
What a joke!
However, due to Chen Zao's erratic personality, Rong Liya didn't dare to mock him.
She could only ask him gently, "Do you know who that person you just hit is?"
"Of course."
"You know?"
"He's your benefactor and also someone who wants to strengthen your livestock." Chen Zao's words always made one feel an urge to strangle him.
Rong Liya glared at Chen Zao and tried to intimidate him by mentioning Qin Sheng's identity: "He is the son of the East Sea Ship King, Qin Chaosheng!"
"East Sea Ship King? Ha! I'm the Old Dragon King of the East Sea!" Upon hearing anything related to ships, seas, or fish, Chen Zao felt a surge of anger.
"I'm not joking with you! You can't afford to mess with him! You've gotten yourself into big trouble tonight!"
"Sister Rong, I think you might not understand the situation."
Chen Zao said seriously, "If I provoke someone, that's not causing trouble; if someone provokes me, that's real trouble."
Chen Zao's reasoning was sound. As someone who held the secret power over humanity's future and life and death, who could dare to provoke him?
Rong Liya was confused and felt that Chen Zao had gone mad. He was just an orphan selling Roujiamo, yet he dared to speak so boldly. If he wasn't crazy, what other possibility could there be?
Since Chen Zao was so delusional, Rong Liya felt there was nothing more to discuss with him.
"Alright, you're impressive. But I really can't afford to mess with that bastard. I hope you can send me a copy of the video; I need it for my protection."
"No problem. Just have a drink with me, and I'll give you the video."
